Disable/Remove Natural Weapons

[AndrewD2]

Working on a template that removes any head based weapons (bite, gore, headbutt, breathweapon) and replaces it with tentacle attacks.

I started with this

var tentacles as number
var tentstr as string

foreach pick in hero from BaseNatWep where "thingid.wBite|thingid.wGore|thingid.wHeadButt"
   perform eachpick.assign[Helper.SpcDisable]
   tentacles += 1
nexteach

   tentacles += hero.child[wTentacle].tagvalue[Value.?]
   tentstr = "Value." & tentacles
   perform hero.child[wTentacle].delete[Value.?]
   perform hero.child[wTentacle].assignstr[tentstr]

I'm guessing SpcDisable is not what I need, but I can't find any existing examples for this.

It's adding the new attack, but it's not disabling the other attack. Any help is great.

Thanks,
Andrew

This is a case where there are examples of how a template can remove natural attacks already in Hero Lab. In the list of templates, filter for "Attacks", because you're looking for a template that alters the attacks of the base creature. Hint: the example I found's name starts with a P, and there are many variants of that template.

Thanks Mathias, I did not know the Petitioner

Although along the same lines, I need to disable breath weapons and I created a script that foreaches through Ability where "thingid.<breathweaponID>" and with the 36 ids it seems to be bringing Hero Lab to its knees. Any suggestions?
