Shudown Codes

[AndrewD2]

I figured I'd post a list of the shutdown codes I've come across as a reference to others and for myself since I tend to forget what ones I need unless I'm copying a thing that's already done.

doneif (tagis[Helper.SpcDisable] <> 0)

Used in class specials and racial specials (I believe) so that the code doesn't run if they're disabled (or replaced since replacing gives something the SpcDisable tag)

doneif (tagis[Helper.ShowSpec] <> 1)

Used for class specials so they don't affect the hero before they are available.

doneif (tagis[Helper.FirstCopy] = 0)

Used for abilities that you add multiple times but only have one net effect in the end (sneak attack, monk's unarmed strike, etc)

NOTE: the Helper.FirstCopy tag is placed early in the Post-Levels phase so it is useless to use this shutdown code earlier than that.

doneif (tagis[Helper.FtDisable] <> 0)

Used on Feats so that the feat doesn't work when it's disabled (whether that means the prereqs aren't met or it's been disabled by something else)

doneif (field[pIsOn].value = 0)

Used in Adjustments. The pIsOn field is the check box to say if an adjustment is enabled or disabled.

doneif (field[pChosen].ischosen = 0)

Used in adjustments that have a drop-down selector so the code doesn't run is nothing is selected.

doneif (field[abilActive].value = 0)
doneif (field[abilAct2].value = 0)

Used on an ability with an activation to disable the code when the Ability is not activated.

doneif (field[gIsEquip].value = 0)

Used for items that can be equipped.

doneif (field[usrChosen1].ischosen = 0)
doneif (field[usrChosen2].ischosen = 0)

Used for items that have drop-downs.

If anyone has more feel free to add them. If anyone has any comments on these one add them. I'll keep the post edited to keep everything up-to-date.

There is a detailed thread on these here also with a lot more detail on their use.

Don't forget abilAct2, for the second activation box (when there are two).
