Custom Ability Double response

NightHawk · 06-02-2017, 07:59 PM

While adding an Affliction to my new ability it asks 1. to name the affliction and then you get to select from a list...

I know how to respond "test" or respond 2 but how do i answer twice in a row...

I have tried respond "test" respond 2 but it doesn't seem to like this.

It's a list, so just comma separate the responses: respond "test, 2" should respond test to the first prompt and 2 to the second.

Code:

My Ability, 0, displaycost(80), page(SU44),owns(yes), hides(yes), adds(_	
	AD:Affliction =6 with "Super, -10%, group(Power Modifier)" and "Aura, +80%" and "Elemental: Electricity, -10%" and "Melee Attack, -30%" respond "test,1"_
	), cat(Super,Abilities)

Gave it a try still double prompts

Looks like it's not parsing the list correctly, so that's broken.

You'll have to work around it by using creates() and defining your affliction directly, instead.

I'm sorry about that, but I'll add it to the fix-it list.

Code:

My Ability 1, 0, displaycost(80), page(SU44),owns(yes), hides(yes), adds(_	
	AD:Affliction (Foo) =6 with "Super, -10%, group(Power Modifier)" and "Aura, +80%" and "Elemental: Electricity, -10%" and "Melee Attack, -30%" respond "1"_
	), cat(Super,Abilities)

This version works fine.

Thanks, Eric. I forgot you could include the name extension directly.

Code:

 Gravity Control, 0, displaycost(260), page(SU44),owns(yes), hides(yes), adds(_
	AD:Control [Very Common](Gravity Control) with "Super, -10%, group(Power Modifier)" and "Ranged, +40%" respond 1_ 
	), cat(Super,Abilities)

Others worked fine but this one seems to reject the respond can you help with this one guys?

That's because the other ones are using #InputToTagReplace to input the response into the Name Extension. This one actually inserts the response into part of the Name tag using an #InputReplace command. I'm afraid this one will require using the creates() tag instead of the adds() tag to create the Control Gravity advantage from scratch.

Good to know... Thanks Eric
