levelcount[#class] was

hero.tagcount[Classes.#class]

now it's

hero.tagcount[Classes.#class] + hero.tagcount[LvCountAs.#class]

But the result of the macro is still just a number right? So why does that change its use?

Is a macro not like a method/function in that it has separate logic as its own object? I guess I am answering my own question because obviously its not. It must be more like a INCLUDE logic in PHP?

So that its just simply having the code above get spliced into the code at the point where the macro is referenced.

so that this:

field[abText].text = #levelcount[PWBtlTmpl] & " + 1d4/maneuver level HP"

becomes this at run/compile time:

field[abText].text = hero.tagcount[Classes.PWBtlTmpl] + hero.tagcount[LvCountAs.PWBtlTmpl] & " + 1d4/maneuver level HP"

Yeah that's what I'm assuming. Its just a shorthand for inserting as opposed to a something like a function call with a return value.

ShadowChemosh's splicing example is the way macros in Hero Lab work.

Thanks! Yep sometimes I forget the scripting stuff is not a HLL. The macro just resembles simple functions so much that I sort of treat it that way.

Good to keep in mind for the future.

I am attempting to create a secondary class for variant multiclassing as presented in Psionics Unchained.

The CSCountAs Tag and the Aegis class id results in the following error:

Hero Lab was forced to stop compilation after the following errors were detected:

File: COM_3PPPack_PsionicsUnchained - Classes.user (line 28) - Thing 'csPU2Aegis' (dynamic tag) - Tag 'Aegis' not defined

So If you are making "new" custom files. I would advise staying away from the community file naming convention. So especially the whole "COM_3PPPack" part of file names. I can't guarantee what file names in the future the community will use. I assume everything after "COM_3PPPack" is open for use so I would advise changing the file to be like "My_Stuff_PsionicsUnchained - Classes.user" instead or even "aMy_Stuff" so that your custom files sort above the Community files.

Otherwise as Aaron is helping you already I don't think having "two" people giving you advice will help at this point.

Naming is just for my own use, although the goal is to have these secondary classes go out to the community at large eventually.

Btw, in the community pack for ultimate psionics, you are missing the Coordinate class ability for the Tactician class.

Ok thats fine. I am happy to add a new 'unchained' source. I will have to see if I can turn on Secondary Classes without needing Unchained itself. Will see.

Thanks for the bug report. Added to the issues list.

You were able to verify it (the bug)?
