Coding at a loss

Ok maybe I am out of my depth here but I need some help with the code for a racial special ability.

Basically, I need the ability to check for wild empathy, and if so add a bonus to a variable racial ability.

I have figured out the code for the variables but I can't find any explanation anywhere explaining how I get it to search for wild empathy? please help!

Code:

  if (#hasability[cWildEmp] <> 0) then

     do stuff...

  end

When searching for how to check for various specials, the best place to look is for feats. Open a portfolio and type in "requires Wild Empathy" or whatever you require, and then open that feat in the editor.

Ok what am I doing wrong?
Post Attr/10000

Code:

if (#hasability[cWildEmp] <> 0) then

     field[abValue].value += hero.child[Totals].field[tHitDice].value + hero.child[aCHA].field[aModBonus].value + 4

  else

     field[abValue].value += hero.child[Totals].field[tHitDice].value + hero.child[aCHA].field[aModBonus].value

  endif

HasAbility tags are not forwarded to the hero until way late. They are basically only for checking if pre-reqs are satisfied. Try using "hero.childlives[cWildEmp]" in the first branch of your code instead.

#hasability uses hero tags that are processed very late in timing as its meant for Pre-Req's not for standard checking. Meaning I assume your problem is that you always getting the bottom calculation.

The easy way is to fix the IF statement to check for the hero ability tag.

Code:

if (hero.tagis[Ability.cWildEmp] <> 0) then
