Tim the enchanter!

Well maybe we'll go over how to code Tim the Enchanter on May 19.

[bodrin]

For the aficionados,

What flavour is it?

For a serious question regarding scripting,

How can I script something that doesn't exist as a macro yet but functions the same as a macro?

Eg.

#abDC[xxxxx] is a macro that applies to Difficulty Class but I'd like to know how the macro is constructed.

I'd also like a run through of creating a custom chooser script.

Eg pick 1 spell from a domain and add it to your spells known / spell list this spell can only be from the xxxxx domain or from the xxxxx school.

Something similar to this where the script limits the choices.

I suddenly got the image of Tim in a pink tutu with a sparkly wand topped with a plastic star. Very disturbing. LOL

Unfortunately, the macros are not able to be built by users. It would be nice if we could though. Could be very useful.

This could be interesting. I do this alot, but I always have to think about it when I do it. Wouldn't mind seeing how some others do them. I will second Bodrin's request.

Hey there Bodrin, we'll take a look at this one. It looks like you have two questions there. But we can try to take a look at them.

#abDC[XXXXX] is

hero.childfound[XXXXXX].field[abDC].value

Thanks, so to essentially recreate a macro routine for something that doesn't yet exist I'd just replace the [abDC] with [unique id]?

Like this
hero.childfound[takemeto].field[Funkytown].value

[Mathias]

No, that's just the ab series of macros - abDC, abvalue, abvalue2, etc.

That's disappointing, I thought it may have been just that simple.

So is there an extensive list of the other macros and the underlying scripts for examination?
