No Humans in a game setting

[Gumbytie]

Okay, for some reason this should be easy but I am having problems. The basic Human stock shows up in my campaign files even though (I thought) I had it coded not to. For this setting I am using Factions for Gods so just created a bunch of 'Human' races (think nationalities) but want to hide the generic Human.

I have a separate Settings File with this:

  <thing 
	id="setSword" 
	name="Savage Swords Setting Adjustment" 
	description="This Setting Adjustment turns off unwanted stuff." 
	compset="SetAdjust" 
	uniqueness="unique">
    <fieldval field="setFctTerm" value="Diety"/>
    <usesource source="Swords" parent="UserParent" name="Swords"/>
    <tag group="Hero" tag="FactionUse"/>
    <tag group="Hero" tag="GotGuts" name="GotGuts" abbrev="GotGuts"/>
    <tag group="Hero" tag="NoStdGear"/>
    <tag group="Hero" tag="NoStdPower"/>
    <tag group="Hero" tag="NoHumans"/>
    </thing>

And I also tried this:

  <thing 
	id="mecSwords" 
	name="Savage Swords Setup" 
	compset="Mechanics">
    <usesource source="Swords"/>
    <eval phase="Initialize" priority="2100"><![CDATA[perform hero.assign[Hero.NoHumans]]]></eval>
    </thing>

No combination of the above seems to hide the actual Human. Am I missing a step?

Looking at the tags.1st file I don't think the NoHumans value is set on group Hero at all, but rather on group "Settings" So I think in the Settings Adjust code you first used above that you need to replace the line:

<tag group="Hero" tag="NoHumans"/>

With:

<tag group="Settings" tag="NoHumans"/>

Doh, didn't even think of that. But actually I needed to set it up this way:

  <thing 
	id="mecSwords" 
	name="Savage Swords Setup" 
	compset="Mechanics">
    <usesource source="Swords"/>
    <eval phase="Initialize" priority="2100"><![CDATA[perform hero.assign[Settings.NoHumans]]]></eval>
    </thing>

The stand-alone didn't work:

   <tag group="Settings" tag="NoHumans"/>

Still, the key was switching from Hero.NoHumans to Settings.HoHumans, thank you very much for that catch.

Cheers.

I may not know the answer but it's good to know that at least I can sometimes get you going in the right direction.
