Another one of those things I just can't seem to wrap my head around despite looking at the examples. A given Race or Command Package can give the player a free skill Specialty. When I had skill Specialties be something that was on the hero itself, rather than a pick on the child entity attached to the Skill, so this was as simple as a bootstrap entry on the Race or Command Package, and an it_bootcustom in the editor entry. Well, that no longer works and I can't quite figure out how to make it work.
A given Specialty has a tag to indicate which skill it's matched up to, e.g. Code:
<!-- Thermal Skill Specialty --> <thing id="spPercThrm" name="Thermal" compset="Specialty" isunique="yes" description="Apply this specialty when using an organ or apparatus that senses temperature. If you can “see” in infrared, then your Sight specialty applies instead, and you should lord that up over lesser creatures by talking about how lovely everything looks."> <tag group="Skill" tag="skPercept"/> </thing> Code:
<entity id="entSpec" form="frmSpec"> <bootstrap thing="SpecHelp"/> </entity> Code:
<component id="Specialty" name="Specialization" autocompset="no" panellink="skills"> <!-- Display Name for use on Specialties Tab --> <field id="spcTabName" name="Display Name (Tab)" type="static" maxlength="50" maxfinal="50"> <finalize><![CDATA[ ~Displays name @text = field[name].text & " (" & this.tagnames[Skill.?," "] & ")" ]]></finalize> </field> <identity group="Specialty"/> <tag group="SpecialTab" tag="Specialty"/> <!-- Track the ability on the actor --> <eval index="1" phase="Setup" priority="5000"><![CDATA[ perform forward[Specialty.?] perform parent.assign[User.HasSpec] ]]></eval> <!-- Each specialty that is allocated by the user costs 2 CP --> <eval index="2" phase="Traits" priority="10000"> <before name="Calc resLeft"/> <after name="Bound trtUser"/><![CDATA[ ~if this speciality wasn't added by the user (as with a Background trait), skip it entirely doneif (isuser = 0) ~adjust the resource appropriately hero.child[resCP].field[resSpent].value += 2 ]]></eval> </component> <!-- Specialty Helper component Each Specialty Gizmo derives from this component --> <component id="SpecHelp" name="Specialty Helper"> <!-- Selection Tag Expressions --> <field id="SpecExpr" name="Specialization Tag Expression" type="derived" maxlength="500"> </field> </component> |
