Question about brigand ability

[Quigly4000]

Brigands get a prestige ability called "Mercy or Anger". Thanks to the inquisitor thread I understand why I can't get it to work with announce (instant cast). My other issue is that I can't get it to function as a hotbutton in ogre mcp. Is this due to the nature of the name of the spell? Does having the word "or" in the name of the spell screw with the coding of the MCP button?

Thanks for input.

It shouldn't, no.
(there is no "or" in lavish, it's ||, and strings are surrounded with ${} and should be escaped... in short, no).

How do you have the button setup? (List every parameter exactly as how you have it entered).

If you can, get a screen shot of the examine of the ability also.

Does the ability show up under the CAs in Ogrebot? (If it doesn't, you just need to run a spell export - ogre spell )

Since stuff is down i'm doing from memory but I was utilizing the "Cast on...." button so i believe parameters are:

Who casts ability: All
Ability to be cast on: Tank (alias tab was verified.. also i tried just putting in the name of the tank i wanted it cast on as well to no avail)
Ability to be cast: Mercy or Anger

Those may be in a different order, but i definitely checked and rechecked my syntax for accuracy.. and tried different aliases to see if that was what was holding it up (i have several other abilities that i have made successfully.. which of course doesn't mean i didn't screw something up.. but it at least establishes i have the capability of doing it properly hehe)

I did run a spell export.. i had added it to his named combat routine as workaround for now -- (incidentally this is one of the first things i troubleshoot now because i've toiled for hours in the past trying to get things to work only to realize i didn't have an up to date spell export file lawl..)

Image of ability to follow once i figure out how to make it post right

Here is the ability information:

Interesting, based on what you told me, and the screen shot, it should work fine.

Once things are back up, if you can send me a message on IRC, and we can work through it real time. I'll probably need you to debug some things. I don't have a brig with nearly enough AA to be able to test it myself.

This was an alias issue. Apparently i mis-remembered having troubleshooted that aspect of the button. The brigand uses "fighter" instead of "tank" in the alias tab. Problem solved... and thanks for talking through it with me
