ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I am not code-y. I would appreciate help from more savvy folks on figuring out whether or not the new Ancestral Life talent works in conjunction with Healing Infusions. It did not in previous editions, but Ancestral Life has changed significantly and it would make sense in the current edition if it did.

Code dump from 1.5X, borrowed from an Erenion post.

Relevant code (from inscriptions.lua):

Code: Select all

self:attr("allow_on_heal", 1)
self:attr("disable_ancestral_life", 1)
self:heal(data.heal + data.inc_stat, t)
self:attr("disable_ancestral_life", -1)
self:attr("allow_on_heal", -1)

self:removeEffectsFilter(function(e) return e.subtype.wound end, 1)
self:removeEffectsFilter(function(e) return e.subtype.poison end, 1)

Why are you posting v1.5 code when you want to know about v1.6?

[sound F/X: source diving] Healing infusions do still set the "disable_ancestral_life" flag, but AFAICT nothing actually checks for it, so it should work normally.

Thank you, Zizzo! I appreciate your frequent code diving on behalf of the curious but code-hapless! *returns to beta Drem Oozemancer experiments*

HousePet - in part to explain why I was asking, but mostly because I thought being able to search for or consult the 1.5 code might make answering the 1.6 question easier. Lowering the time cost for the person answering the question for me seemed functional (might increase my chance of getting a correct answer) as well as courteous (as I was asking for someone else's help and time and if I could save some of their time in the process that's a win-win).

Given the confusing situation of leaving code (the old ancestral life disabler) in there (1.6 code) that doesn't do anything anymore, rather justifies the example code you supplied.
