Clarify spell prerequisite dropdown by changing wording

Open ethorad opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

It seems GCS prerequisites work differently on traits/skills compared to spells.

I can create a trait or a skill called "Test" with prerequisite "Does not have a trait/skill with name Test" and it will flag as an unresolved prerequisite (basically when checking prerequisites it includes itself). However for spells, if I create a spell called "Test" with prerequisite "Does not have exactly 1 spell with name Test" then it doesn't show as a failed prerequisite.

I assume this is because a lot of spells have prerequisites like "At least 5 other spells from CollegeName", and it can't count the spell in question as one of its own prerequisites.

If so, can the prerequisite box change to show "other spell(s)" rather than "spell(s)" to make this clear?

(I'm doing this in templates where there is sometimes an entry like "spend 2 points improving a different skill". I add a temporary skill called "Spend 2 points on another skill" with cost 2, and then give it a prerequisite that means it will always flag. That way users get a visible sign that they need to carry out that action then delete the temporary skill)
