Using the Editor and looking for references

Learning the editor but having problems finding a list of components, fields, tags etc. that are specific to Pathfinder. Is this all documented somewhere that I haven't been able to locate yet?

What I am trying to do is recreate the Metamagic School Focus feat but I am having trouble with the prereq for being a specialist. I found the Thing for the specialist schools (i.e. ssAbjur, ssConjut etc.) but not how to reference them. Here is an example of what I have:

if (hero.tagis[ssAbjur] <> 0) then ValidCnt = 1

I do this for each school and check the value of ValidCnt at the end.

The spell schools you listed are things (and not what you are looking for anyway, as they are on all heroes to control bonuses for CL/DC on certain schools), not tags, so I am afraid the posted code won't work. In pathfinder, the Specialist Schools are actually Custom abilities chosen on the wizard tab, and they (like most class abilities) forward a HasAbility tag to the hero.

You can use the "#hasability[XXX]" macro to check if a certain ability is added to the hero, where the XXX is the unique ID of the thing you want.

Here is a useful trick to get Unique IDs, tags, and fields on a things. First go to the "Develop" menu and "Enable Data File Debugging". Then add a custom ability or almost anything to your hero and right click on it to have a list of tags or fields or the Unique ID copied. For things that don't appear in the interface because they run in the background of the program you can check those by going to Develop -> Floating Info Windows -> Show Selection Tags/Fields/Whatever which will pop up a list of all things on the hero regardless of whether they are normally visible or not. You can then check the boxes next to the ones you want to see (often good when you need to see and compare several things). A lot of information can be gleaned from these tools, especially looking how tags/fields change when you manipulate the character you are making.
