New Mythic Path Ability

[blzbob]

So I'm trying to create a new mythic path ability that requires Fighter Weapon Training as a prerequisite. It doesn't matter which one you have, you just have to have one. I can't seem to find the thing that allows this. I've tried searching but when I use #hasability[cFtrWeapTr] <> 0 the ability is grayed out.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Weapon training is a primary custom ability of the fighter class, so you could check for a non-zero cGiveSpec field on the fighter class helper. Alternately, your pre-req could foreach through all custom special abilities with the abCategory tag for the fighter weapon training abilities and validate if it finds at least one.

As we just need "one" of these to be valid and we don't care which one I would use a findchild instead as its a little less CPU overhead.

This would go onto a Pre-reqs section instead:

~ Try and find any Fighter Weapon Training ability
perform hero.findchild[BaseCustSp,"abCategory.FtrWepTra"].setfocus

~ If we found any Fighter Weapon Training we are valid.
validif (state.isfocus <> 0)

If you are using any "Custom" Fighter Weapon Training abilities the above won't find them if you don't put the correct abCategory tag on them. This would apply to most 3PP stuff and community stuff. As the abCategory tag is very new and doubtful many people even started using it yet outside of LW.

I don't think the newness of abCategory really matters for Fighter weapon training, since they are based on weapon groups, as it doesn't seem like that is something which is likely to be expanded.

But certainly keep that in mind if you ever want to pull this trick for something which is likely to have seen significant community expansion, like sorcerer bloodlines or alchemist discoveries.

Thank you so much. That worked!

I am an idiot.

Truth in advertising, let's hope it helps! My GM has given our group a Legendary Item Mythic Path Ability for free. And some of us have earned other extra mythic abilities, my character for instance has Longevity as well for free.

How would I add an option in Adjust Tab, Other Adjustments to add an extra Mythic Path ability or Feat, like you can already add Bonus Feats to your character.

While I say I am an idiot, I have managed to build custom magic items (Vests of Resistance, Bracers of Strongjaw, etc.) for various different campaigns, but those were relatively easy to copy an existing item then make some tweaks, but this is a horse of a different color all together...

I would sincerely appreciate the assistance. Thank you again.

Sincerely,

I can pretty easily add an adjustment for those. Check out ShadowChemosh's adjustments in the community files, he may already have something for that.

FOUND IT! Just had to add shadowsh... extra files! Thanks!
