Feat granting a familiar

[frumple]

I have a feat I am trying to code that grants a familiar that mimics an arcane familiar in abilities (some surface differences that are not important for coding purposes).

Since any class can get this feat I don't think I can use the usual method of starting up a familiar, i.e. linkage

.field[cArcFStart].value = 1

I figured I can implement this via the Other tab, have the player select their "familiar" then add a template to it to mimic the familiar abilities those not covered by the feat.

I have it almost working, but I cannot get the bonuses from Familiar Nearby working.

I think I have traced it down to the code

perform hero.minion[ArcFamil].assign[Hero.MasterMile]

Obviously I cannot uses minion[ArcFamil] in this code, but I am not sure what to substitute for ArcFamil.

Ideas?

Well looks like I figured out some of it. My issue now is trying to get the #isfamiliarwithin1mile[] macro to trigger on a feat given familiar.

Could one of the powers that be post the code behind this macro?

I wish I could find the master list of macros and the code behind them.

 

[frumple]

I know. It would make adding content so much easier.

I've started a resource in Google Drive (just ignore the last sheet in there for now) that might be helpful

Cool! Thanks Andrew!

I get a username password there Andrew. I don't have a google account.

I just double checked the link, it should be viewable by anyone that clicks it. I even checked while logged out and it worked.

#isfamiliarwithin1mile[] does this:

hero.tagis[CompIs.cArcFamil] + hero.tagis[Hero.MasterMile] = 2

#isfamiliarwithin1mile[] does this:

Is there a place we can look (on disk or web) that lists these so we don't need to keep asking?

 

[Aaron]

Nope. Most of them are used internally and are named to be clear. What other ones are you curious about?

Oh, and the editor tutorial docs has a list of many of the macros and their functions, but I don't think it's complete. I believe it hasn't been updated for the most recent ones yet.
