Summary: SA: display bug

Initial Comment:
I can't get SA's to display under certain circumstances
when using variables.

In a feat:
  SA:foo %|0 won't display, SA:foo %, %|0|1 will
  (SA:foo %|a-variable-equal-to-0 won't display)
In a class:
  SA:foo %|CL, SA:foo %|CL/2 won't display
  SA:foo %|CL+15 and some other random things will
display. 
  (SA:foo %|a-variable-equal-to-CL will display)
I can't figure any rhyme or reason behind what works
and what doesn't.


I'd imagine they're are a few other things, the tag
just seems to be a bit buggy in general right now ;)

So do SAs now display if all of the variables are 0?

Is this still a code bug, or is it now a Doc bug?

regards,

Barak is correct: if all VARs = zero, then SA won't display.  
Design intent.  Now that we have PREVAR abilities on SA's, 
Data prob. needs to re-evaluate the need for that, given the 
light of the Wild Empathy +0, etc. stuff you mention....  
Might tighten up some of our stuff.

I agree on the documentation need.  I don't read over the 
docs near enough, mostly because I don't need them.  We 
need a Doc tracker opened up on that at least.

SA:foo %|CL

That should always have a value of at least 1, so that one 
should display.  If it isn't, then CL without CL= on a class 
level line isn't really referencing the Class level of the given 
class, and that should get fixed.  LST Standards state to 
ONLY use VARs in SA: variable fields, so we haven't had an 
opprotunity to test SA evaluating the "CL" var.  We do stuff 
like BONUS:VAR|WildEmpathyLVL|CL and then SA:Wild 
Empathy|WildEmpathyLVL so it is checking a VAR, not doing a 
CL lookup directly.

SA:foo|0 not displaying isn't *documented*, however.
If you have tags do funky things in certain situations, and 
don't list it in the documentation, people (like me O:) will 
report it as a bug, not knowing any better ;)
(Although I may have missed it, looks like it's changed now, 
plambert's files show it taking PREs?--that's new, and good!)
 There are a few situations where you need SA: foo 0 to 
display:
Wild Empathy +0, Some Spell Related Ability with 0th level 
spells, etc... if the 0-hack still exists (say, for clearing SA's 
across objects), and there is a way around it (SA:foo %|a 
var equal to 0|an extra var equal to 1, or something) it would 
be helpful if it was in the documentation.

This is not a bug, it's design intent.

When all variables used in an SA are zero, the SA is not 
displayed.  If even one of them is non-zero, it will.

Using CL/2, if you have less than two levels in that class, it 
will evaluate to 0, so the SA will not show up.

Using CL+15, you always have a value of at least 15, so it 
shows up.

I'd close this one Paul.

Is this still a valid tracker?
