Creating a new companion, need some help

[TerminusWolf]

Im currently working on creating an arcane familiar / eidolon hybrid for an arcanist archtype that Im making but I cant seem to get it to work right. This is my first time working with the editor and I cant seem to figure out how to make the new type appear under "Companion Type" under "Companion Class Helper" or "New Companion Type". Is there something I need to do to link it to those lists? I already tried adding "CompAvail" as both a field and a tag but that didnt work....

You need to place a CompAvail tag on the Companion Class Helper, and then have your archetype apply the same CompAvail tag to the arcanist Class Helper at First 400.

I have the tag set for the Companion Class Helper but Im not sure what you mean when you say First 400.

First is a phase, a 400 is a priority. The phase and Priority of eval scripts determines what order they occur on a character. Add an eval script to your archetype at that phase and priority which assigns the tag to the class it is affecting. For example

First 400

      doneif (islinkage[varies] = 0)

      perform linkage[varies].assign[CompAvail.WHATEVERTHETAGIDONYOURCOMPANIONIS]

Obvously, change the all caps appropriately.
