weapon proficiency linkage

I have a problem with linking weapons to proficiencies and attributes.
I have made a proficiency component based on skills from Savage World tutorial (I've made also skills, so I have both) but when I try to calculate roll value I got errors.
Right now I use such line:

Code:

@value = field[trtFinal].value + linkage[attribute].field[trtFinal].value

En the erro is:

Code:

Linkage pick 'attribute' not located for current context

Location: 'field calculate' script for Field 'prRoll' near line 5

In the end I will always need only Dexterity so basically I wouldn't need ane other attribute so maybe it is some simplier way to overcome this.
I have also error when I have such line:

Code:

<linkage linkage="attribute" optional="yes"/>

Error:

Code:

File: traits.str (line 351) - Linkage - Duplicate record encountered ('attribute')

So I changed it for this:

Code:

<linkage linkage="Profic" optional="yes"/>

But I guess it doesn't work.

Finally I would like to link a weapon to specific proficiency - but right now I doubt I could mange to do that.

Thanks in advance.

In the traits.str file, around line 351, what <linkage> elements have you defined? It sounds like you've added at least two of them - one a duplicate of the other.

351 line is:

Code:

<linkage linkage="Profic" optional="yes"/>

Here is the whole component:

Code:

  <component

    id="Profic"

    name="Proficiency"

    autocompset="no">         



    <field

      id="prRoll"

      name="Net Skill Roll"

      type="derived">

      <calculate phase="Final" priority="1000">

        <after name="Calc trtFinal"/><![CDATA[

        if (container.ishero <> 0) then

          ~@value = field[trtFinal].value + linkage[attribute].field[trtFinal].value 

          endif

        ]]></calculate>

      </field> 

          

                        <field

      id="prLrnCrv"

      name="Learning Curve"

      type="static"

          defvalue="2">

      </field>

            

    <!--   <linkage linkage="attribute" optional="yes"/>-->

    <linkage linkage="Profic" optional="yes"/>



    <identity group="Profic"/> 



    <!-- Every skill is shown on the "Rolls" mouse-over on the Dashboard/TacCon -->

    <tag group="DashTacCon" tag="Rolls"/>



        <eval index="1" phase="Setup" priority="4000"><![CDATA[

  field[trtBonus].value = - 2

  ]]></eval> 

        

    <eval index="2" phase="Setup" priority="5000"><![CDATA[

      perform forward[Profic.?]

      ]]></eval>



    <eval index="3" phase="Traits" priority="10000">

      <before name="Calc resLeft"/>

      <after name="Bound trtUser"/><![CDATA[

      doneif (origin.ishero = 0)

      hero.child[resSkill].field[resSpent].value += (field[trtUser].value - field[trtBonus].value)*(field[trtUser].value - field[trtBonus].value) * 10 

      ]]></eval>

          <!--

                  <eval index="4" phase="Setup" priority="5000"><![CDATA[

  ~pull the identity tag of the linked attribute into the skill

  perform linkage[attribute].pullidentity[Attribute]

  ]]></eval>      -->



    </component>

Okay, so are you still getting that error about duplicate records?

If not, what's your question? What is it about your Profic linkage that isn't working?

Right now I have commented lines which gave me errors (those from first post).
For clearing thing out:
Why is this line "<linkage linkage="attribute" optional="yes"/>" made errors?

Please re-phrase that last question. I can't tell what you're trying to ask.

Why when I was using line

Code:

<linkage linkage="attribute" optional="yes"/>

within my component, I've got such error:

Code:

Linkage - Duplicate record encountered ('attribute')

Did you copy that straight from the skills component?

Does the skills component still have a linkage named attribute?

You can't re-use the ID of a linkage in a different component.

Ok, that is what I was suspected just wasn't sure, just thought I had to set it up in different place maybe.

I pushed things further.
Now I've added some lines with intend to link weapons with proficiencies.
In WeaponMelee component I've added:

Code:

<linkage linkage="wprofic" optional="no"/>

and

Code:

<eval index="2" phase="Setup" priority="5000"><![CDATA[

  perform linkage[wprofic].pullidentity[Profic]

  ]]></eval>

in all melee wepon things I've added:

Code:

<link linkage="wprofic" thing="prSwords"/>

I've also added to editor.dat this line:

Code:

              <inputthing

      name="Proficiency"

      helptext="Select the attribute used to calculate the dice pool for this skill.">

      <it_linkage compset="Profic" linkage="wprofic"/>

But for some reason appears as text field insted of dropdown menu (like in skills).
After this program recomplies but on load gives me such error:

Code:

Linkage pick 'wprofic' not located for current context

Location: 'eval' script for Component 'WeapMelee' (Eval Script '#2') near line 2

- - -

Linkage pick 'wprofic' not located for current context

Location: 'eval' script for Component 'WeapMelee' (Eval Script '#2') near line 2

- - -

Linkage pick 'wprofic' not located for current context

Location: 'eval' script for Component 'WeapMelee' (Eval Script '#2') near line 2

Which is about this line:

Code:

perform linkage[wprofic].pullidentity[Profic]

I have searched for proper use of this but I've stuck.
So, what I am missing?

Thanks in advance.
