Disabling activated abilities

AndrewD2 · July 21st, 2013, 02:40 PM

Is there a way to disable (grey out) an ability check box? I have a feat that says it can't be used with Power Attack or Combat Expertise, so I was thinking if it was checked making it so the user couldn't check the other two.

Yep the Helper.ChgDisabl1 or Helper.ChgDisabl2 will disable the check boxes.

Code:

~ Disable check box if Power Attack or Combat Expertise is active
If (hero.tagis[Activated.fComExpert] + hero.tagis[Activated.fPowerAtt] <> 0) Then
   perform assign[Helper.ChgDisabl1]
   perform assign[Helper.ChgDisabl2]
Endif

what if I want to disable power attack and combat expertise instead of the feat these are on?

Code:

perform hero.child[fComExpert].assign[Helper.ChgDisabl1]

?

That seems like it'd work, off the top of my head. Did you try it? Did it not work?

I haven't tried yet, I was working on something else when I posted this and haven't switched back to that file.

Well keep me posted if it doesn't work out then.

I'm getting 'tag Helper.ChgDisabl1 not defined'

Looks like a typo, should have no "l".

Helper.ChgDisab1

Worked wonders, thanks Aaron
