exotic weapon proficiency problem

I used the Editor to add a garrote as an exotic weapon. I copied the Bladed Scarf from the weapon tab to do that and edited the stats to suit.
When I make a test character I made sure to pick an exotic weapon proficiency for the garrote.
But when I buy that equipment for a character and equip it, I get an error:
"Tag WepProf.wMACGarrot not defined".
I cant find where to define that tag.
Any help?
 
WepProf tags are only generated if the following expression is true:

Code: 
!thing.showonly & !component.Specific & !wCategory.Amm?

So, setting the "Show Only?" checkbox on the right-hand side of the editor, creating it on the "Weapon, Magic" tab instead of the "Weapon" tab, or, in the "Category" option on the Weapon tab, setting it as ammunition. Doing any of those will prevent your weapon from generating a proficiency tag.
 
Not trying to get around the requirement of the proficiency. Trying to find out how to add an exotic weapon to HL and make it work right.
As it is, HL sees this as a non-proficient weapon when equipped and applies a penalty in the calculated bonus to hit.
 
Okay, you need to include the complete context of that error.

What is reporting that error? What is around that message? Is there a particular line number?
 
Also, double-check spelling and capitalization, if this is something other than the weapon that's reporting the error message.

Click to expand...
And you verified that you didn't click "Show Only"?

As that is a common issue that causes error "Tag WepProf.wMACGarrot not defined".
 
The original issue occurred when I would purchase the garrote for the character and equip it in HL. (Not in the editor)
But the situation seems to have resolved itself.
When I loaded the character I got an error message (that doesn't repeat itself and I did not screenshot) that basically stated that the garrote belonged to content that I have not purchased. So it was removed by HL.
Now its working fine. I was able to use a feat for exotic weapon proficiency and pick the garrote. When I bought and equipped the garrote it gave no errors.
I recall seeing the Source section of the original item I copied and unchecked all of the selections. Apparently I had done so after the error had been pushed to HL by the Test button.
It appears resolved now.
