Making a selection from a custom expression

[AndrewD2]

I've got this customer expression:

component.BaseClass & (thingid.cFighter|thingid.cBarbarian)

and this script (so far):

~ If we're not shown, just get out now
doneif (tagis[Helper.ShowSpec] = 0)

if (compare(field[usrChosen1].chosen.?????,*fighter*) = 0) then
   field[abValue].value += round(field[xAllLev].value-2,0,-1)

   ~add that many fighter-counts-as tags to the hero
var i as number
for i = 1 to field[abValue].value
  perform hero.assign[FtCountAs.Fighter]
  next
elseif (compare(field[usrChosen1].chosen.?????,*barbarian*) = 0) then
   #trkmax[cBbnRage] += (2 * round(field[xAllLev].value-2, 0, -1))
endif

I need to finish off those if statements (some something that works). I've had it working using an Array list, but I know there's gotta be something better than that. Aaron was trying to help me and I thought I had it, but I'm just not getting it to work.

Any help is always greatly appreciated.

Try switching the candidate expression to the class Helpers instead

component.BaseClass & (thingid.cHelpFtr|thingid.cHelpBbn)

~ If we're not shown, just get out now
doneif (tagis[Helper.ShowSpec] = 0)

~ If we haven't chosen anything yet, just get out now
doneif (field[usrChosen1].ischosen = 0)

~ For barbarians, we get to count as a fighter for feats
if (field[usrChosen1].chosen.tagis[Classes.Barbarian] <> 0) then
  field[abValue].value += field[xAllLev].value - 2

  ~add that many fighter-counts-as tags to the hero
  var i as number
  for i = 1 to field[abValue].value
    perform hero.assign[FtCountAs.Fighter]
    next

~ For fighters, we get more rage rounds for out fighter levels
elseif (field[usrChosen1].chosen.tagis[Classes.Fighter] <> 0) then
  #trkmax[cBbnRage] += (2 * (field[xAllLev].value - 2))
  endif

When I change the expression to:

component.BaseClass & (thingid.cHelpFtr|thingid.cHelpBbn)

I get no selections

What do you have the "Restrict First List to..." to? If you leave it blank it defaults to hero. You may need to switch it to All Things.

 

[AndrewD2]

I've done blank. All things and on hero. All show up blank. And I do have a level of fighter on the character.

 

[Aaron]

Ah, my bad. I switched the latter part but not the earlier part.

component.BaseClass is a component on the Class Levels, but it isn't on the Class Helpers. Try

component.Class & (thingid.cHelpFtr|thingid.cHelpBbn)

That worked. Thanks Aaron.
