User.tags, and pulling hero fields.

TobyFox2002 · February 17th, 2014, 11:14 AM

After Creating User tags for a number of custom abilities, I have run into a problem using those custom abilities as targets for feats. I have gotten to the point where I can select any Custom Ability with the Custom Expressions.

The Problem I have is with the script I can add the name of the selected item, but I cant seem to change the xSumm or CustDesc of the feat to that of what was selected.

---

The second issue I created a special for a class I was working on with a Charges for the hero to mark if they are in flight for the purposes of adjustments. Then afterwards i realized that I should move it to the races I created.

But when I move xEQInFligh from being bootstrapped to the Class to being bootstrapped to a race. I can no longer use scripts that check the value of the field[hIsOn2]

Code:

~ Check if the Hero is in flight (Flight Status Special)
        if (hero.child[xEQInFligh].field[hIsOn2].value <> 0) then

I was thinking its something about the hierarchy, I tried container.parent, but that didn't work same with herofield[xEQInFlight].field[hIsOn2].value. Am I trying to do something that isn't supported?

I think what you're looking to do is what I did with the custom abilities on the Factotum class. I used this code:

Code:

First/1000

field[CustDesc].text = field[usrChosen1].chosen.field[descript].text

Bootstrapping to a race should be functionally the same as bootstrapping to a class. Either way, hero.child (or hero.childfound) should work. What's happening that it isn't working? Also, here's a stupid question: Did you select the race in your portfolio that bootstraps this ability?
