Ex-member tag

[Jhalad]

What is the tag for "ex-member"? I want to make it a requirement for a prestige class. Thanks

ExMember.? Where the ? is the cHelpClr class id.

I found this by taking one level of cleric. Then Develop->Floating Info Windows->Show Hero Tags. Then clicked on/off "Ex-Member?" option under cleric. Then just looked to see what tag got added.

Well now THAT'S a tool I didn't know about! Most helpful! Thanks!

Oh, wow! This is SO cool. Thanks Shadow! I think the frequency of my question postings are about to go down by a lot.

I think I found the tag within the file, but how do I get the program to look at it.

I tried:

#cHelpDrd[NoExSpells] <> 1

But the program says there's an "error parsing left-side expression in relational comparison.

I was thinking of use the "hero.tagis" but I would need it to reference the NoExSpells within the cHelpDrd file, and I don't know how to get the line to reference something with a file, only a tag.

hero.isidentity[ExMember] <> 0

or

 
var searchexpr as string
searchexpr = tagids[ExMember.?]
hero.tagcountstr[searchexpr] <> 0

Both of those rely on being in a script running on the class (rather than the class tab) - if you want to add a pre-req like "Must be an ex-Druid" or a feat whose script depends on being an ex-druid, you'll need to specifically reference the class you're looking for:

 
hero.tagis[ExMember.cHelpDrd]

(Note that the Helper.NoExSpells tag exists on Druid whether or not you're an Ex-member - it's the tag that says "If we're an Ex-member, we can't cast spells" - so it's not the one you want to be looking for in these tests).
