Problem using code "{}" in a strProp

[Shadowfireomega]

Took me a while to figure out what was going on, but every time I update a strProp with setStrProp, any of the properties within the string that have a value containing another property switch that property for the value.
Example:

Code: Select all

[h:Weapon1=setStrProp(Weapon1,"Wep1Abil","{StrMod}")]

Sets the property to : Wep1Abil={StrMod} within the string property.
All is good.

However when I try to update anything else on that string property, say

Code: Select all

[h:Weapon1=setStrProp(Weapon1,"Wep1Name","Longsword")]

Now the property reads: Wep1Abil=5 (which is the value for StrMod)
Not so great, as I would like this ability to be dynamic.

Any workaround for this?

Interesting. Looks like a bug, but maybe not. It's tricky working with strings that look like something else, but isn't. Is Weapon1 defined in your token properties? I bet it's being evaluated there which is a feature rather than a bug. Why not just put StrMod only, no {}s?

You other option is to switch to json formatting.

Weapon1 is defined in the token properties. If I don't update the property at all it retains the {StrMod} and pulls from the token defined property StrMod. Now with melee weapons this isn't such a big deal, I'll mostly not need to update the property for them. But when it's a ranged weapon the attack macro updates the ammo property within. When this happens {DexMod} switches to it's value. The problem with that is if the player gets buffed and DexMod changes, this will not update the strProp as if it had {DexMod}.

But I see what you're saying with not using the {}. To be honest I kinda went this route while waiting already, putting a switch inside of the attack macro that assigns the proper stat based on weapon type.
