Conditional Bootstrap issues

[AndrewD2]

I'm working on an item that if you have a certain witch hex it increases it's damage and if you don't it gives you claws. I setup a script that sets abValue to 1 if the hex isn't there, set at First/450. I then set a bootstrap condition of fieldval:abValue >= 1. And it works, kinda, when you equip the item it's not there, but then when you unequip the item it's there. I've attached some pictures to show what I mean.

I reported a bug as it appears bootstrap conditions using fieldval as a test is not working currently. That's why it's acting strange.

Ok, it's funny because it's working fine for a different item, at least how I have it implemented, it only seems to cause problems when the item needs to be equipped first.

The issues I found where with the equipped items specifically armor. So maybe it is narrowed down to ONLY fieldval on equipped items.

Try First/501. I'm checking if we can get a script moved back to First/499 instead of First/500.

Are you talking for the Bootstrap Condition or for Eval script?

The eval script was running at First/450 and the Bootstrap Condition has been tested at First/500 and First/600

Whatever's testing gIsEquip should be AFTER First/500

AndrewD2, please copy the actual code you used. Both the Eval Script and the bootstrap condition.

The 2 eval scripts:
First/501

~if we're not equipped, get out now
doneif (field[gIsEquip].value = 0)

if (hero.childlives[cWitNails] = 0) then
   field[abValue].value = 1
endif

pre-levels/10000

if (field[gIsEquip].value <> 0) then
  if (hero.childlives[cWitNails] <> 0) then
    perform hero.child[wClaw].assign[Helper.DamageUp]
    perform hero.child[wClaw].assign[Helper.DamageUp]
  endif
endif

The bootstrap condition:
First/502

fieldval:abValue >= 1

Those changes have worked.

I'd do this:

if (hero.childlives[cWitNails] = 0) then
  field[abValue].value = 1
  endif

And this:

(fieldval:abValue <> 0) & (fieldval:gIsEquip <> 0)

That way, whether abValue is set or not doesn't rely on whether the item is equipped or not - you're testing the equipped state only in the bootstrap condition. I also always prefer <> 0 and = 0 as my tests for "is on" and "is not on".
