List of creatures?

[TCArknight]

Has anyone got an expression that will pull a list of available creatures in the dataset? I’ve tried Hero.Creature and source of All Things but the selector comes back with No Selections Found.

Suggestions welcome.

You looking for a foreach loop, or what? "component.Creature" might get you what you're after.

Actually, looking for the expression for a UserSelect usrCandid1 field. I’ll try the component,Creature when I get home… thank you!

That worked perfectly! Thank you! I don’t know where my brain was for that lol

@CapedCrusader - A related question.... Do you know if it's possible to grab the size of the selected creature if it's a thing, and not a pick?

 

[CapedCrusader]

Well, that's tricky, and it depends on that you're doing. Increases in a Creature's Size are usually done with a Racial Ability. So you're looking for the RaceAbil called abSize on the Creature and the field you're after is abilValue on that. That's where the size is before it's applied as a pick.

Hmmm..... that helped, but still running into a hiccup.

Effects/10000

doneif (field[usrChosen1].ischosen = 0)

var mySize as number

foreach bootstrap in field[usrChosen1].chosen where "thingid.abSize"
  mySize = eachthing.field[abilValue].value

  notify "Size of " & field[usrChosen1].chosen.field[name].text & " - " & mySize

  nexteach

It seems like no matter the timing, mySize always returns 0

Thoughts?

Have you tried setting mySize to a number, and checking to see if the 0 you're seeing is the default value and it just didn't find abilValue at all?
