Custom Expression

Ikonoklast · June 28th, 2014, 04:54 PM

I am trying to write a custom expression for a Class Special that will let you select a list of other specific Class Specials

Both the things are added and tested. For a test I added specific skills just see if I was missing anything and when I do the skills show up just fine.

I was hoping someone could give me some information on how custom expressions are created.

Here is the code I am currently using the the Custom Expression field.

Code:

thingid.cGolGunn|thingid.cGolSteam

Thanks,

Custom expressions are made up of the tags on items, usually you have a component item and then something to make it more specific.

for example

Code:

component.BaseSkill & SkillAbil.aDEX

would give you a list of dex based skills.

Nothing is wrong with this expression in and of itself. So the issue is either a) you misspelled the thing id's as it is case sensitive or b) you have the expression set to "picks on hero" and these are not picks but Things.

Under your "Custom Expression" line in the editor is a "Restrict List To..." section with a drop down of choices:

1) "All Picks On Hero" means that the "Thing" cGolGunn has been added to the hero and is live. In such a case when live its is referred to as a "Pick" instead of a "Thing". So what this option is saying is show all of these things that are live and already added to the hero. This option will work for skills that are present on your character but if you used a Knowledge skill that is not present it would not display.

2) "All Things" means show all the Things that are in HL memory but are NOT live on your character. The issue here is you can't adjust the values/tags of a "Thing" as it is not on the character.

My guess is you need to change the "Restrict List To..." to "All Things".

I actually had it on none. I changed it to "All Things" and that worked.
