Hi Craig, The all flags thing requires you to use the object corresponding to the effect you want info to be looked up for I thought. For instance, if my remove_effects was placed on a unit effect or tile effect, I can get that information because the effect object is passed into the effect event functions.. So I'm able to see what effects users specified in their remove_effects line using the get script flags function. I then split the information into arrays of strings containing effect names. However, I am not sure how to use the string name itself to get that information for that effect. -----Original Message----- From: ian-reeds-games-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ian-reeds-games-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Craig Brett (Redacted sender "craigbrett17@xxxxxxx" for DMARC) Sent: Friday, March 13, 2015 3:39 AM To: ian-reeds-games@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ian-reeds-games] Re: getting skill/item/effect/point objects, given their unique IDs or IndexedName Hi Victorious, To be honest I'm a little confused as to what's actually going on here. So your flag takes in a comma-separated list of effects to apply, right? And you then want to see which are tile and which are unit ones. So effect.AllFlags.get('tile') returns null all the time? How strange. Do any of the AllFlags things work for you?
