YASQ (Yet Another Scripting Question)

[Mergon]

I am working on script with the following foreach loop:

foreach pick in hero from BaseWep where “wCategory.Melee”
~#situational[eachpick,sText,field[thingname].text]
nexteach

The portion that reads:

foreach pick in hero from BaseWep where “wCategory.Melee”

gives me the following error. The #Situational line is commented out while I try to figure out what I am doing wrong with the actual foreach loop . . .

Hero Lab was forced to stop compilation after the following errors were detected:

Syntax error in 'eval' script for Thing 'p5CAbsEle' (Eval Script '#2') on line 23
-> Invalid tag expression specified

I'm using the below and it doesn't seem all that different than yours:

foreach pick in hero from BaseWep where "wCategory.Melee"
#extradamage[eachpick, " damage plus 10 (3d6) poison", field[thingname].text]
nexteach

It doesn't make any sense to me either.

If I commect out the foreach and nexteach lines, I get no errors.

This is my full script in acess it matters:
Phase: Render, Priority: 10000

~If we're disabled, do nothing &
doneif (tagis[Helper.Disable] = 1)
~ If nothing chosen then get out now!
doneif (field[pChosen].ischosen = 0)

var iLevel as number
var sText as string
var iCount as number

iLevel = #totallevelcount[]
if (iLevel >= 17) then
iCount = 4
elseif (iLevel >= 11) then
iCount = 3
elseif (iLevel >= 5) then
iCount = 2
else
iCount = 1
endif

sText = "+" & iCount & "d6 "
sText &= field[pChosen].chosen.tagnames[DamageRes.?]
foreach pick in hero from BaseWep where “wCategory.Melee”
~#situational[eachpick,sText,field[thingname].text]
nexteach

I don't know why, but I copy/pasted the foreach line from your script into mine, and now it works. They both appear identical to me . . .

What if you change "wCategory.Melee" to "IsWeapon.wSpear"

do you still get the error message?

EDIT:wow, I took out your foreach and pasted the one I used here and it took the script.

EDIT 2: ok I removed the foreach saved, tested, and then manually typed your foreach statement saved and tested and it took this time.

Pretty sure I typed what you had.


sText = "+" & iCount & "d6 "
sText &= field[pChosen].chosen.tagnames[DamageRes.?]
foreach pick in hero from BaseWep where "wCategory.Melee"
#extradamage[eachpick,sText,field[thingname].text]
nexteach

EDIT, nope I changed situational to extradamage.

Edit 2, went back and changed it to situational and it took.

Not sure what is wrong with what you have pasted above, but I got same error when I copied and pasted.

foreach pick in hero from BaseWep where “wCategory.Melee”
~#situational[eachpick,sText,field[thingname].text]
nexteach

That is not valid QUOTES. You have something from Word or something but “ is not a ".

This is fixed:

foreach pick in hero from BaseWep where "wCategory.Melee"
~#situational[eachpick,sText,field[thingname].text]
nexteach

<bah> humbug. I missed that completely. That would explain my error.
