silly question: DataCommon - conditionaltags?

[Varsuuk]

Is the conditionaltags table a leftover no longer used?

Or is it used in a ruleset I do not own?

Or did I miss where it is SO OBVIOUSLY used? ;)

(was looking at the checkConditions() call in 5E/2E)

It is used in the EffectManager2E/EffectManager35E/EffectManager4E/EffectManager5E/etc. scripts defined in the same ruleset with the conditionaltags version of DataCommon script.

Right.

My point was not clear. I meant, look at how it is "used" in each of those scripts.

conditionaltags = {
}

and of course the contains check for condtions which has "stuff" in it is followed by the exact same call sig but with conditionaltags argument - which made me thing once it was for some sort of dynamic tagging or something that was added on the fly vs predefined but every ruleset I saw had just the define and the contains calls as the only references.

I'm not sure what the original intent was (far as I looked back it was empty) so I'm not sure of the origin. In the 2E ruleset it's there because it exists in the other.

Yeah, any dev has experience with code “copied over” because was part of some base code. That’s why wondered if it was something:

1) abandoned but not removed.
2) from a Ruleset not built in or SW, C&C, not sure if bought others (not including things like AD&D Rulebook and SW extension worlds since Th year use their base Ruleset s)
3) it is there as a place to put optional something just not documented and no one has used
