Prerequisite Scripts

[jewbacca331]

Can someone help me out with the script for the following Prerequisite?

"Ability to spontaneously cast arcane spells."

I am almost done building Races of the Dragon "Dragonheart Mage and this is the only code I can't find in the other stuff that has been built.

Also, can I put it in the Expr-Reqs or does it have to go in the Pre-reqs section?

Thanks.

You can do an Expr-Req that looks for the tag "Hero.SpontArc"

ie: tagis[Hero.SpontArc] <> 0

Thanks! Is there a database of code that you can search that has this stuff written out?

Hero Lab itself has debugging tools. In this case add a level of Sorcerer. Then go to "Develop->Floating Info Windows->Show Hero Tags".

I would recommend reading the Glossary of Terms for the Editor. Then check out FAQ#2 for all the places to learn about the editor including YouTube videos.

The above is for Pathfinder and some "field" names and tags will be different the general concepts and using debugging tools is all the same.

I am having an issue with the Draconian language being a prerequisite. I have the following Expr-reqs:

hero.childfound[lDraconic].tagis[thing.activated] <> 0

but it is still is giving me an error even though I have the language from the Dragonborn subclass. All I am looking to do it add a prerequisite that you need the Draconic language in order to use this prestige class, but it is not linking properly to the language given by the subclass Dragonborn .

Try making lDraconic a pick-req. That should work.

Yikes Languages don't push the Language.? tags to the hero? Sigh I will add that to the do list.

The pick-req worked. What is the difference between Pick-req and Pre-Reqs?

Actually, they probably do. I have just been doing pick-reqs for languages as it seems easier.

pick-req looks to see a specific thing exists on the character. pre-reqs are used for more complicated scripts.
