I have skimmed through the forum looking for an example to answer my question but I have had no luck. I am pretty new at the scripting side of hero lab so please go easy on my lack of understanding.
Thanks

Just set it to a number using = instead of adding(that's what += does).
This will work in the short term, but once the characters natural dice size is higher, they will be restricted to the lower dice with "=".
In order to fix that, you will have to do an if statement(unless that's exactly what the effect is SUPPOSED to do!)
So the question is, which do you need?
you can check out a few racial abilities such as abTough for example for an example used during character creation for specific races. However, this does not deal with the later case where it's conditional(if thats what you need).
Also, check out Power Armor(a few variations), armPowBat and armPowHvy. while they don't add to Str, you can use the syntax in the if statement, add an additional "if"(or not as you need to) and utilize that.
EDIT: oh, and the number for trait adjustments is one half of the dice size. So 2 = d4, 3 = d6, 4 = d8, etc. So if you want the Stength = d10, you put " = 5". A also, be sure to check out
