Change script#3 to be

        field[BonEnhance].value += 2
        perform assign[wRangeInc.30]
        perform gizmo.assign[wCategory.RangeThrow]

        trustme
        this.gizmo.child[iBane].field[iCustSpec].text = "giants"
        endif

I am sorry but the "whole" activation button to say I know what this weapon is not logical. If I added Hammer of Thunderbolts to my character of COURSE I know what the weapon is. If I didn't I would have added a +3 warhammer to my character. I have never seen this click this button to say you know what this weapon is in HL before. =(

That is because no other item description has ever said "if you know it is called X".

So duplicated the item and made the changes to the script, but it is still showing a red title with the error Returning: Thrown Weapon Required when equipped. Though I can now get it to go away if I change the associated item type (bootstrap) to a weapon of the thrown category. It also still does not properly update when used in conjunction with a Belt of Giant Strength.

Updated Code to:

if (field[abilActive].value <> 0) then
        field[BonEnhance].value += 2
        perform assign[wRangeInc.30]
        perform gizmo.assign[wCategory.RangeThrow]

        trustme
        this.gizmo.child[iBane].field[iCustSpec].text = "giants"
        endif

Right back to how did I add the weapon to "read" that description if the DM didn't tell me what the Weapon was?

The DM would simply tell you its a +3 Warhammer sized large. "ONCE" you knew what the weapon was you would add the correct weapon to your character. Having to click an option to say "I really really know what the weapon is" that I just added to my character is not logical and is actually REALLY funny!

Did you perform all the "steps"?

1) Add weapon.
2) Add Belt of Giant str
3) Equip Belt of Giant Str
4) Equip weapon in main or offhand.
5) Go to "In-Play" tab and "activate" the weapon to tell HL you "actually know that you have the Hammer of Thunderbolts" weapon.
6) Now you get the error message to go away and it displays the 2d6 vs giants.

I am sorry I keep finding step 5 to be the funniest thing I have seen all week! At the same time I can tell it was a late night coding where the person took the words a little too "literally".

How would anyone ever know to do that (step 5)? WOW, I never realized that box exsisted. Thanks for sorting me out.

You're my hero... seriously. The base Hammer of thunderbolts is still bugged however as it does need the 'gizmo.' change to keep it from glaring red at you,

Yeah it was not really clear to me either until I red the script logic and I knew how HL behaves that I put all the steps together.

Because without 'equipping' the weapon the In-Play tab option will not appear.

So I was playing around with the latest version of the Hammer of Thunderbolts. It is apparently fixed w.r.t. this bug, but it is still a warhammer, shouldn't there be melee options?

I have built my own that allows a player to wield it in melee (and it is impressive). The current workaround that I have is simply 2 versions: 1 that is thrown (the default), 1 that is not.

Adding the thrown quality under gizmo is what allows the returning property to be added without the red highlight. What tag should I add to include a melee option so my PC doesn't have to lug around 2 hammers?
