Extract Abilities

[Whrip]

Useful script for extracting character abilities for cutting/pasting into scripts,etc.

;Whripped 4/22/07
variable string OutputFile = ${Script.CurrentDirectory}/ExtractedAbilities_${Me.FName}.txt

function main()
{
variable int i
for (i:Set[1] ; ${i}<=${Me.Ability} ; i:Inc)
	redirect -append "${OutputFile}" echo "${i} ${Me.Ability[${i}]}"
}

Output form:

1 Overwhelm I
2 Ranged Attack
3 Brutal Strike I
4 Kick I
5 Waylay I
6 Whirlwind I
7 Rend Armor I
8 Brutal Strike IV
9 Taunt I
10 Taunt II
11 Taunt III
12 Waylay II
13 Waylay III
14 Disarm
15 Riposte I

Nice, now to use it to create a list of the highest of each ability for use in combat scripts where it automatically fills in "Chain1" "Chain2" "Finish" "Heal1" "Heal2" "QuickHeal" etc.

I fleshed out the script a bit to give an idea of how to seperate the different types of Abilities:

/*

*/

variable string OutputFile = ${Script.CurrentDirectory}/Abilities_${Me.FName}.txt
variable int i

function main()

	redirect -append "${OutputFile}" echo "=============ALL Abilities Dump================"

Thanks xeon. This is what I eventually planned to end up with. Was at work when I wrote the first one and figured i'd share it. Nice format. Saved me some work once again
