Armor Mastery Class Ability

[Lawful_g]

At 4th level, the Knight gets an ability called Armor mastery, which lets him move at normal speed in medium and eventually heavy armors. This is what I have got so far, culled from the Mithril scripts and modified a bit.

Phase: First Priority: 11000
~ If we're medium armor, remove the speed penalty
var result as number
if (hero.tagis[mClass.Medium] <> 0) then
result = delete[mCategory.Slows]
endif

However, it is not functioning when I equip medium armor, obviously, so how do I fix it? Thanks for your help, as always.

Are you trying this on a class special? That may explain why it's not working. I think you need to delete the tag mCategory.Slows from the armor itself.

mCategory.Slows is on the armor. You're looking for the tag on the hero.

(note that for mithral armor, the material is added as a child of the armor, which is how its script can go directly to the parent item.)

Use a foreach loop to check every piece of armor.

It's not been mentioned in the documentation yet, but note the more efficient assign/delete statement they added an update or two ago.

   foreach pick in hero where "EquipType.Armor & mClass.Medium & mCategory.Slows"
      perform each.delete[mCategory.Slows]
   nexteach

This script should do the trick:

~ Medium armor doesn't Slow any more
foreach pick in hero where "mClass.Medium"
perform each.delete[mCategory.Slows]
nexteach

It goes through each piece of medium armor, and deletes the "slows" tag
from it.


Hope this helps,

Thanks for your help, both of you. I've got it working now.
