uservalue
 

I could not find any information on the field uservalue in the Authoring Kit documentation, nor any use of it in the sample or savage world source.

What exactly is uservalue? What does it contain? And how is it created?

This sounds familiar some how... What page in the documentation are you working on?

It is not on any page in the documentation. That's why I posted the question. It is used in 4e. In the procedures.dat file as part of the TraitHist procedure. Other than that I have found no reference to the field.

Sorry I couldn't help. Your first post reminded me of a specific instance where I once found an answer to a problem by reviewing the ancient change logs in the documentation.

In 4e, debug the fields on one of the ability scores. You'll see that as you change the field's value manually, the delta doesn't change. Then, select a race for this character that alters that ability score, or add an adjustment on the In-Play tab, and use that to adjust that ability score. You'll see that now, the delta changes along with the total value.

uservalue = total value - delta - so it's just the portion of that field's value that the user has entered.

Thanks.
