Summary: count(\\\"x\\\") JEP function

Initial Comment:
This is to replace our use of the COUNT token in the data files 
which is a very non-JEP VAR. This returns the number of specified 
objects with specified parameters.

Tag:  count("x","y","y",["y","y"])

Variable (x): main parameter, object to be counted
Variable (y): Sub-parameters, optional

Bracketing: Sub-parameters can be enclosed in brackets and an object 
which has any one of the enclosed sub-parameters will be counted. 
Without brackets only objects with ALL the sub-parameters will be 
counted. Example:

count("EQUIPMENT","WIELDCATEGORY=Light",
["TYPE=Piercing","TYPE=Slashing"])

This will count all Light wielded equipment of either type Piercing OR
Slashing.

count("EQUIPMENT","TYPE=Piercing","TYPE=Slashing")

This will count any equipment that has both Piercing AND Slashing 
types.

Parameters and sub-parameters:

count("x")

    CLASSES
        TYPE=<class type>

    DOMAINS
    EQUIPMENT
        TYPE=<equipment type>
        WIELDCATEGORY=<weapon wield category>
        LOCATION=<Equipped, Carried, Not Carried or Slot name>

(depending on how things shake out FEATS and VFEATS may be 
replaced with ABILITIES and VABILITIES or something)

    FEATS
        VISIBLE=<YES or NO>
        TYPE=<feat type>
        CATEGORY=<ability category>

    VFEATS
        VISIBLE=<YES or NO>
        TYPE=<feat type>
        CATEGORY=<ability category>

    ABILITIES
        VISIBLE=<YES or NO>
        TYPE=<ability type>
        CATEGORY=<ability category>

    FOLLOWERS
        TYPE=<follower type>

    LANGUAGES
        TYPE=<language type>

    RACESUBTYPES

    SKILLS

I've implemented a few more of the counts, but don't intend to check
any of this in until 5.12 is released.

Finish adding support for boolean operators in the new jep count
function.

now uses [or] and [and] as the operators.

I have code that will do the "and" and "or" parts of this
(for abilities), but I've hit a snag.  The | that we want
to use two of for out "or" symbol is actually the tag
separator in the output sheet.  so having || in the middle
of a jep  formula breaks it quite nastily.

I think this needs to go to expirimental for some syntax.

Convert method to use java 1.5 enums for the "x" main parameter.

New count JEP function added. Currently only ABILITIES counting supported,
but structure is there for porting of all other count types.

e.g.
count("ABILITIES","CATEGORY=FEAT","VISIBILITY=VISIBLE","NATURE=AUTO")

Cool, I'm OK with && for AND and || for OR

James in your example you used parentheses to group the OR statements,
will 
that be possible considering the many skills and feats which also use
those?

Yeah, normal lst only has lists of elements, mostly comma 
or pipe delineated. You could call that a form of AND. 
Some also take ! as NOT, but there is no OR.

For formulas we use JEP. You can look that syntax up in 
the docs under List Files->Math Operators and Formulas. It 
shows:

(CL>5)&&(TL>5)

Boolean And (&&). Asks if Class Level and Total Level are 
greater than 5.

(CL>5)||(TL>5)

Boolean Or (||). Asks if Class Level or Total Level is 
greater than 5.

I'm not familiar with any standard symbol used for AND and OR, what is the

standard used in java or JEP?

Having the Y parameter contain a series of options is fine by me.

The syntax described here - count("x","y","y",["y","y"]) -
will not work as JEP will not be able to process the []
outside of parameters. 

A solution is to have count("x", "y") with the y parameter
allowing a series of options. e.g count("EQUIPMENT",
"WIELDCATEGORY=Light&&(TYPE=Piercing||TYPE=Slashing)") or
similar. Do we have standard symbols for AND and OR
operations in LST code?

James.

We have a need to be able to count the number of attacks a character can
make. The particular need is to be able to count the number of natural
attacks not just the number of natural weapons. This is because 2 claws,
which are 2 distinct weapons, are treated as one weapon with two attacks
within the program. Currently we have a hack in place where the HANDS tag

is
used as a flag to tell the program when a creature has more than two
natural
attacks, this in turn is used as a prerequisite for Multiattack and other
related feats.

I propose an addition to the FREQ I entered for the count() JEP function
which can do just this:

count("x")

    ATTACKS
        BAB
        LOCATION=<Equipped, Carried, Not Carried or Slot name>
        TYPE=<equipment type>
        WIELDCATEGORY=<weapon wield category>

Examples:

    count("ATTACKS","BAB")
        Returns the number of attack iterations granted by the PC's BAB

    count("ATTACKS","TYPE=Melee",LOCATION=Equipped")
        Returns the number of attacks the PC can make with all
        equipped Melee weapons

    count("ATTACKS","TYPE=Natural")
        Returns the number of attacks the PC can make with all
        Natural weapons, equipped or not. This is important because some
        monsters have more than one Primary attack but only one can be
        Equipped per Equipset, the others can be "Carried" and will
display
        on the second page of the OS.
