Preclude certain Racial Abilities

[SeeleyOne]

I want some edges to not be available if a character has a certain racial ability pick (in this case, a specific racial hindrance).

As an Expression Requirement, it can be made so that an edge would not be available to the character if another edge is taken:

hero.tagis[Edge.EDGE_UNIQUE_ID] < 1

I would imagine that this should work for a Racial Ability, using the rp prefix to the unique ID, but I cannot quite figure out the prefix. What should I change "Edge." to?

Try RaceAbil

All of the Tags can be found in the source directory (under the data directory where you keep your .user files) in a file called tags.1st

Thank you very much! I had not known where to find the tags list. So far most of it had been by trial and error (trying to guess a word that works). As it turns out my case uses RacialProp, but you pointed me in the right direction.

Yay! I was finally able to come up with a useful answer! Glad to know I'm actually learning something useful out about this program after all.

You can also use the pick-reqs and have it set to preclude if present.

As usual, "Thanks, Caped Crusader!"
That way is actually simpler to implement and works at the same time.
Most of what I have learned to do is based on what I have seen others do already.

And I've actually done it that way more than a few times in data files myself and I STILL gave the less helpful advice. Darn! Back to the drawing board for me...

 

[SeeleyOne]

Oh well, at least I learned about that tag file.
