help with a Condition on a bootstrap

[jkthomsen9]

I have a custom ability baboon tatoo, that gives a 30' climb speed once a day for 3 rds. On the ability I have bootstraped xClimb with a abValue of 30. I am tring to have it only add the climb ability if the tatoo is active. I am not sure how to use the condition tab. I tried the following, with several variations, but it dose not work.

if (field[abilActive].value <> 0) Then
Valid
endif

In this case, add climb without any conditions, but don't apply the climb speed directly to xClimb.

Instead, add an Eval Script to your ability, Phase and Priority: Post-Levels/any

if (field[abilActive].value <> 0) then
  #applyvalue[xClimb,30]
  endif

ok. how whould this work with other tatoos...one gives the weapon rake another rend, and yet another gives DR? Is it better to add a if then statment or a condition in these cases?

 

[Mathias]

For the natural attack, use this as the condition:
Phase: First Priority: 500

fieldval:abilActive <> 0

Conditions use a very different type of code than regular scripting.

For the DR, assign a value with

#applyrd[]

For the weapon, use a condition.

In HL, all the DR's, energy resistances, movement speeds, SR, etc. are set up so that if they have a value of 0, they'll hide themself, so in those cases, you don't need a condition, just don't assign a value until you need one.

Weapons don't have that - a weapon is always active once bootstrappped to a character, so you do want the condition in that case.

For the DR, assign a value with

#applyrd[]

I think Mathias got dyslexic for a minute as it should be:

#applydr[]
