Eval Script for Charges based on Stat Modifier

Im trying to create a "rage-like" ability that follows pathfinders basis of rounds/day vs the times/day, and base it on con modifier. thats the problem im having.

Code:

~ Available when not lawful - otherwise we don't meet requirements

      var result as number

      if (hero.tagis[Alignment.Lawful] <> 0) then

        result = assign[Helper.SpcDisable]

              endif



      ~ If we're enraged, apply the stat modifiers for that

      var level as number

      level = field[xTotalLev].value

      



      var attrbonus as number

      var savebonus as number

      if (level >= 20) then

        attrbonus = 8

        savebonus = 4

      elseif (level >= 11) then

        attrbonus = 6

        savebonus = 3

      else

        attrbonus = 4

        savebonus = 2

        endif

      if (field[hIsOn1].value <> 0) then

        hero.child[aSTR].field[Bonus].value += attrbonus

        hero.child[aCON].field[Bonus].value += attrbonus

        hero.child[aDEX].field[Bonus].value += attrbonus

        #applybonus[BonMorale, hero.child[vWill], savebonus]

        endif



      ~ Set up our text fields

      field[CustDesc].text = "Focus your aggression, giving you +" & attrbonus & " Str, Dex +" & attrbonus & " Con, +" & savebonus & " to Will saves and -2 to Armor Class. Many skills and abilities cannot be used while the character is enraged.{br}{br}Rage lasts for 3 rounds + Con bonus."

      if (level < 17) then

        field[CustDesc].text = field[CustDesc].text & " At the end of the fury, the Viking becomes fatigued (-2 Str, -2 Dex, can't charge or run) for the rest of the encounter."

        endif

      field[xSumm].text = "+" & attrbonus & " Str, Dex, +" & attrbonus & " Con, +" & savebonus & " to Will saves, -2 to AC when enraged."



      ~ If we're exhausted, apply the stat modifiers for that (we don't get

      ~ exhausted after level 17)

      if (level < 17) then

        field[hName2].text = "Exhausted"

        if (field[hIsOn2].value <> 0) then

          hero.child[aSTR].field[Penalty].value = hero.child[aSTR].field[Penalty].value - 2

          hero.child[aDEX].field[Penalty].value = hero.child[aDEX].field[Penalty].value - 2

          endif

        endif



      ~ We can Fury based on our constitution + level rounds per day

      ~ times per day.

      var total as number

      total = 2 + (level * 2) + hero.child[aCON].field[Bonus].value

      

      field[hTotal].value += total

      field[livename].text = "Fury (" & total & "rounds/day)"

The section thats not working right:

Code:

total = 2 + (level * 2) + hero.child[aCON].field[Bonus].value

Its ignoring the con bonus. Also, id like it to to be based on "real con bonus" vs "temporary con bonus".

Thoughts and help would be useful.

Thanks!

If you haven't gotten an answer by tomorrow morning, I'll take a look at this when I get in front of HL. First though, when are running this script? If it's ignoring the CON bonus, it could simply be running too early. If the timing is ok, you could try breaking that line up into two parts. For example:

Code:

      total = (level * 2)

      total += 2 + hero.child[aCON].field[Bonus].value

If that works then its something to do with the structure of the equation.

PS. "perform" has replaced the need for a variable. For example:

Code:

      var result as number

      if (hero.tagis[Alignment.Lawful] <> 0) then

        result = assign[Helper.SpcDisable]

              endif

can instead be done as:

Code:

      if (hero.tagis[Alignment.Lawful] <> 0) then

        perform assign[Helper.SpcDisable]

      endif

I had it previously as two lines. No difference. I'll check the timing tonight when I get home.

Alright. I took a look at this. First off, looks like you took the script from the Barbarian Rage which runs post-levels/10000. That's too early to determine your CON bonus. However, if you move the whole script to post-attributes then nothing else works. So, I recommend you move that last piece to a new script.

Second, you want to use the field "aBonus" instead of "Bonus". The former is your CON bonus before modifiers, while the latter is used for untyped bonuses to your CON score.

Post-Attributes/15000

Code:

      ~ We can Fury based on our constitution + level rounds per day

      ~ times per day.

      var total as number

      total = 2 + (field[xTotalLev].value * 2) + hero.child[aCON].field[aBonus].value

      

      field[hTotal].value += total

      field[livename].text = "Fury (" & total & " rounds/day)"

PS. If you right-click on your CON score and select "Show Debug Fields" you can see how the fields change when you are enraged. This tells you which field you want to use for this purpose.

Thanks. Especially for the Show the Debug fields hint. I always forget about that.
