Using templates as prereqs

[Ravencloak]

How do I test for the presence of a specific template as a prerequisite for a feat?

So far as I can tell, all templates simply show up on the hero as generic instances of Classes.Template or Hero.Template and the actual template name isn't identified by a tag. I've tried a number of variations of testing for tags, but can't seem to figure this out.

For instance, if I want to use the Celestial template as a prerequisite for a new feat, let's call it Wings of Fury, how do I test for the presence of the Celestial template?

Thanks.

In the pre-requisite script, you need to test for the existence of the
Celestial template pick. You would do this like so:

@valid = 0
if (pickexists[tmCelest] <> 0) then
@valid = 1
endif

"tmCelest" is the unique id of the Celestial Template pick. (You could
find this out by going to the View menu -> Floating Info Windows -> Show
Selection List, and then searching for the "Celestial Template" entry in
it.)

Hope this helps,
