It's from Distant Shores.

Cool, just picked up the dataset. Where are the Gastriphenes?

[Aaron]

Ah, it's Gastraphetes, and it's a two handed ranged martial weapon (basically an oversized crossbow so large you can't fire it without penalty unless you brace it on something like a window or ledge).

[Frodie]

Thank you, well I was able to get the activation box to appear, but I can't seem to a drop box to appear within the activation box. Any ideas?

[Frodie]

I also looked at the "Manifestation Points" ability and it has a drop box in the activated ability. I copied all the tags, but it's still a no go. I am looking for a drop box with weapons on the hero. But I think I have tried everything (adjust fields, add tags), but no luck. Is there a script that will add a drop box field?

I was thinking something like

array field="usrChosen1" value="component.BaseWep" behavior="hero"

[Frodie]

Well nothing worked. I can't seem to find a way to add a drop box to either the item power, weapon or ability. So maybe there is a different way to do this.

What tags did you find there? Do any of them look specifically appropriate? I'm looking at it now, and there's a tag with "Menu" in its Id.

[Frodie]

I put every tag I could think of and adjusted any field that looked like it would do something. IDK, I'll look again.

I tried the tag "ActivMenu" in

perform container.parent.assign[Helper.ActivMenu] and perform assign[Helper.ActivMenu]

with timing all over place. But no luck.

[Mathias]

No scripts are needed - just add Helper.ActivMenu as a fixed tag on the ability that needs to show in the activated abilities list.

[Frodie]

Yea, tried that, doesn't seem to work on the "item power" or bootstrap "ability" or on the "weapon".

But, I made an empty container in gear and bootstrapped it to the ammo (weapon). That seems to get the drop box to show in the activated abilities. Now I need to find a way to get the item power to work with the bootstrapped gear on the weapon it effects.
