Bootstrap Condition

[AndrewD2]

I'm gathering these expressions work different than a normal expr-req. Is there documentation explaining it?

I'm currently just trying to have a condition if their Cha is >= 10

Near the bottom is a bit on bootstrap conditions:

One important thing to remember is you can test the values of fields on the bootstrap's root (that is, the thing doing the bootstrapping), or you can test for tags on the container (usually the hero). Unfortunately, there is not a way to test a field on something else in the condition.

What you can do is use an eval script to detect the field value, and apply a tag to the hero, which the condition can look for.

Timing is often a problem though, since most bootstrap conditions have to be early in First.

Got it thanks, I guess I'm trying to figure out how to set the racial spell-like abilities to show up when the proper amount of Cha is there.

Copy something else that does the same thing - the gnome spell like abilities

There's no way you can have a bootstrap condition that works late enough to test attribute values, so you'll have to always have it there, and then use scripts to hide or show it depending on the attributes.
