Bootstrap Weapon based on Choice?

[TCArknight]

Howdy!

I'm trying to bootstrap weapons to a hero based on choice on a Class Special.

I've bootstrapped all weapons chooseable, but I want only one to be visible. I'm trying to use a condiition on the Bootstrap, but I keep getting "Invalid tag template specified: 'tagcount[Custom.HasMBLt]' "
Code on Ability (right now just testing with one weapon):

(First/1000)
~ Add chosen choices as Tags
var myChoice as string

if (field[usrChosen1].ischosen <> 0) then
  myChoice = field[usrChosen1].chosen.idstring
  debug myChoice
  if (compare(myChoice,"wMndBldLt") = 0) then 
     perform hero.assign[Custom.HasMBLt]
  endif
endif

Code on bootstrap condition:

(First/2000)
count:hero#tagcount[Custom.HasMBLt] >= 1

What's missing?

Thanks!

In a bootstrap condition, "tagcount" won't work - that's specifically for normal scripts, and not part of the language used in tag expressions (which are what go in a bootstrap condition).

hero#Custom.HasMBLt

should work, I think.

Here's the tag expressions page of the wiki: http://hlkitwiki.wolflair.com/index.php5/Leveraging_Tags_Via_Tag_Expressions

You can compress your main script with:

if (field[usrChosen1].ischosen <> 0) then
  if (field[usrChosen1].chosen.tagis[thingid.HasMBLt] <> 0) then
    perform hero.assign[Custom.HasMBLt]
    endif
  endif

That way, you're testing tags, instead of turning the tag into a text string, then testing the text of the string you've generated - all that string work is computationally much more expensive than tag testing.

Thanks Mathias!

I thought I'd seen somewhere in the wiki where val:hero#tagcount[] was used in a tag expression for a condition.

I appreciate too the condensing of the script. I thought there was a better way to do it, but wasn't at my thinking best last night. Had had a long day.... LOL

PS: sent a PM with a couple of things, not sure if you got it or not. Just though would check.

Sorry, I admit I'm not good about following up on the PMs on this board - once you've read it, there's no reminder that it exists, so if the question isn't one I have time to answer at the time I see it, I often forget that it's still there. I'll take a look at my PM inbox.
