Displaying combo box

[AndrewD2]

I have a class that gives ability score bonuses based on gender. In general it's the males get +1 to something and the females get +1 to this or that (has a choice). Is there a way to make it so the selector only shows up for the females?

basically something like

if male
aSTR += 1
else
aWIS || aCHA += 1
endif

yes I know that's not actually scripted it, mostly because that's what I'm trying to figure out.

Thanks,
Andrew

Give the class ability a selector to choose an attribute, but fill in the candidate expression based on the character's gender.

if male
      field[usrCandid1].text = "component.BaseAttrib & (thingid.aXXX)"
else
      field[usrCandid1].text = "component.BaseAttrib & (thingid.aYYY | thingid.aZZZ)"
  endif

doneif (field[usrChosen1].ischosen = 0)

field[usrChosen1].chosen.field[Bonus].value += 1

XXX YYY and ZZZ in this case are the 3 different attributes

Got it, thanks!

Ok, I've been working on this and it's not quite working. It displays the selector, but it says nothing to select no matter which gender is picked. I've tried the script at all different phases between 5000 and 10000 priority.

Here's what I have:

if (hero.tagcount[Hero.Male] >= 1) then
   field[usrCandid1].text = "component.BaseAttrib & (thingid.aSTR)"
else
   field[usrCandid1].text = "component.BaseAttrib & (thingid.aCHA | thingid.aWIS)"
endif

doneif (field[usrChosen1].ischosen = 0)

field[usrChosen1].chosen.field[Bonus].value += 1

Looks like I made a spelling error, the component is "BaseAttr", not "BaseAttrib"

That did it, thanks.
