Andrew Maitland commented on NEWTAG-231:
----------------------------------------
To avoid confusion, would perhaps EQVAR:x|y be better, to follow the DEFINE:x|y standard, and avoid having to modify DEFINE itself?
New Tag:
EQVAR:x|y
Variables Used (x): Text (Equipment variable name)
Variables Used (y): Number (Initial value)
> DEFINE:EQVAR
> ------------

> Key: NEWTAG-231
> URL: http://jira.pcgen.org/browse/NEWTAG-231
> Project: New Tag
> Issue Type: New Token
> Components: LST Tag
> Reporter: Chris Chandler
> Fix For: Data Team Wishlist #1
>
>
> Tag Name: DEFINE:EQVAR|x|y
> Variables Used (x): Text (Equipment variable name)
> Variables Used (y): Number (Initial value)
> What it does:
> * Defines a variable who's value is specific to the Equipment it is defined in.
> * If more than one DEFINE tag for the same EQVAR is encountered the highest value is used.
> * Usage: once defined you can use EQVARs anywhere you can use a number, formula or normal VAR within equipment and EQMODs but not outside of them. This is because an EQVAR has it value in context of the equipment so using an EQVAR in a bonus formula within a feat is meaningless because it does not know from which equipment you want this value to be derived from and you may have several items with the same EQVAR but with different values.
> Where it is used:
> * Valid in Equipment and EQMOD files only
> Example:
> DEFINE:EQVAR|MaxSpeed|0
> Defines an Equipment variable named MaxSpeed and sets the initial value to 0.
