Help with Weapon focus (slashing) pre-req

[Lawful_g]

Here is what I am trying, but it is not working. Normally I'd fiddle around with the phase, but that is not an option with Pre-requisites, so it must be some error in my code.

~ Loop through all weapons with weapon focus
var result as number
foreach pick in hero where "Broadcast.WepFocus"

~ If one has slashing, add one.
if (each.tagis[wType.S] <> 0) then
result += 1
endif
nexteach

if (result >= 1) then
@valid = 1
endif

Broadcast.WepFocus is added to the hero as well as the weapon. You'll need to restrict your search to finding weapons.

foreach pick in hero from BaseWep where "Broadcast.WepFocus & wType.S"
result += 1
nexteach
 
validif (result >= 1)

Note: before the "from XXX" restriction was available, you'd have written:

foreach pick in hero where "component.BaseWep & Broadcast.WepFocus & wType.S"

"from XXX" should be used in foreach if you can restrict your search to a single component - foreach is one of the most time-consuming operations in Hero Lab, so restricting the number of things it searches for is always good.

The other problem might be that there needs to be a copy of the weapon you have focus for on the character before this prereq can find something to test, so you'll have to buy a copy for your test character.

In the future, please remember to describe the error - you didn't say what was going wrong with your prereq - always valid, always invalid, valid/invalid for the wrong things?

Ah, thanks for the help as always. I'll try to remember that for the future.
