#appenddesc usrChosen1

What's the script to #appenddesc a usrChosen1?

#appenddesc[field[usrChosen1].chosen,"test"]

You can't. You must supply the exact "Thing" ID. I am 99% sure it won't take a pointer/reference to the Thing.

Also make sure that you are trying to change a "Thing" not a "Pick".

Ah, ok. Thanks Shadow!

 

[ShadowChemosh]

Ah, ok. Thanks Shadow!

If you remember about a month ago when asking about appenddesc I showed the script logic how to "soft-code" a Thing ID with use of appenddesc. You could get the Thing ID string from the usrChosen1 and then use that script to change the name.

Yea, thank you. I got it to workout. Thanks again Shadow!

Nice! See all these crazy scripts are starting make sense!

 

[Frodie]

Yep, cool this is what I got (I added a tag). Thanks again Shadow!

      foreach thing in BaseWep where "Custom.FGMPCRoFir"
        perform eachthing.amendthing[description,"Test"]
      nexteach

You could probably just make a searchexp variable

var searchexp as string

searchexp = field[usrChosen1].chosen.tagids[thingid.?]

instead of adding a tag. Also if it is only going to be applying to 1 thing (although this is a weapon so it could apply to more), you could use findchild isntead of a foreach saving a bit of processing.

Andrew - he's using foreach thing - there isn't a findchild equivalent for things - findchild is only for picks.

Whoops, thanks you're right, I missed that.
