Setting prerequistes for item powers

[Wolf_Larsen]

I'm trying to create an item power that has another item power as a prerequiste. In this case, "Ghost Strike" (Magic Item Compedium) requires Ghost Touch ability.

Does anyone have the piece of code I need to make this work?

Thanks

I don't recall the Ghost Touch ability - what classes / races /
anythings get it?

The only requirements to have a weapon with the Ghost Strike Ability are: 1) must have Ghost Touch on Weapon 2) the weapon must be a melee weapon.
The ability is located on page 35 of the "Magic Item Compendium".
Hope this helps.
Thanks

The ghost touch ability already requires you to be a melee weapon, so if
you have Ghost Touch you automatically comply with the "melee weapon"
thing as well. So the requirement should just be "Requires the Ghost
Touch ability".

I think the pre-requisite code should be something like:

~ If we have the Ghost Touch power, we're valid
@valid = 0
if (pickexists]iGhostTch] <> 0) then
@valid = 1
endif


Hope this helps,

When I add the above code into the Pre-reqs field of my Ghost Strike Item Power and I run the script, it gives me the following error message:

Compilation was forced to stop after the following errors were detected: Syntax error in 'pre-requisite rule' scriippt for Thing 'ispGhstStr' on line 2 --> Reference to undeclared variable 'pickexists'

(ispGhsStr is the unique code I gave my Ghost Strike item power)

What is the correct variable to use in this case? Also, where do I find a list of variables that the program recognizes?

If you did a direct copy/paste it wouldn't work because Colen has a typo in his code, if you notice the "]" after "pickexists", that should be a "[" instead. Maybe that's what it doesn't like?

 

[Wolf_Larsen]

That's it!
For the record, the coding necessary to make require a Item Power to have another Item Power as a pre-requisite is:
@valid = 0
if (pickexists[iGhostTch] <> 0) then
@valid = 1
endif

Thanks a bunch,
Wolf

My bad! Thanks for the correction.
