Limiting a cavalier's mount choices with an Archetype

Hey folks!

I'm working on coding a cavalier archetype that alters their mount choices at 1st level. I noticed the Horselord archetype does something similar but I honestly was confounded by the scripting involved. Probably my lack of understanding or simply having a fuzzy head about it but any advice or input would be appreciated.

I'll continue to fiddle with it myself to see if I can figure it out in the meantime.

Thank you!
 
That would be because what your looking for is on the "Animal Companion" NOT the Archetype. So you either need to create "new" AC choices and then select your Archetype. Or you have to use the "Replace Thing ID" so that your new versions of the AC that then allows your Archetype as a Choice.

So if you go to the "Race->Race, Anim Comp" you can do a "New (Copy)" vs the "Horse". Then look at the "Minion Allowed For?" section and you see the "Qadiran Horse Lord" is selected.

The last way is you could use a mechanic that looks for specific AC races to be added and if so add the correct "CompList.?" tag. That should make the AC valid after selecting it but it won't make it show as "valid" in the list initially.

The mount choices are already limited, so it's not much of a tradeoff.
 
After a long delay of RL work, I got back to this project and I seem to have hit another stumble.

After adding my cavalier archetype and making a copy of the animal companion in question (Roc in this case, the archetype is for a flying race), it doesn't show up as a valid option in the "Minion Allowed" list. Adding it as a new entry (following the format of the other CompList tags) seems to do nothing to allow the new choices as options either (it continues to show as an invalid choice, only showing the "thingid" of the archetype as the allowable use).

Any ideas as to what I may have done wrong?
 
Aha! I missed the tag on the archetype!

That should do it ... I know I had to have missed SOMEthing simple!
