Still working on that old system... I ran into a new problem the first time I tried to work with actual afflictions. I have lookup tables for various afflictions and such in my script. Here is the issue currently.
When I am hit with an affliction I get this error.
The trigger it is referring to is...
This is supposed to send the affliction to a table of current afflictions called "affs" such that;
adds the aff to
Now, I said OR because I tried them both, as I was not sure which was the proper way to set the affliction in the table. The affliction source I am using was given to be to use by Zarquan and Demetrios in my old thread, entitled Prompt Trigger Question. This is it.
I am clearly doing something simple, incorrectly. I am at a loss at the moment, any ideas?
