Hello!

I'm trying to use the Editor to create a custom fixed stat array, but when implemented, I can't set the stats outside the 8-15 range. Is there a way I can remove the capped range from the ability scores to account for, in my specific example, a 7/9/11/13/15/17 array?

Thanks!

When you go to portfolio -> create new hero, under the PC/NPC choice have you chosen "Fixed scores"? If so, click on the arrow key next to that choice and indicate "Pick/roll ability scores" and you should be able to put your choice of scores in.

I don't know why it defaults to the limited range, as I always want to put my own scores in and often forget and have to go back.

I think saccare9 is trying to make his own creation method using the editor - I just tried to make one with the values like this: Fixed V2 (18/14/13/12/10/6)
and I can't get the values to go above 15 or below 8 either. I think you're going to have to ask ShadowChemosh or someone really familiar with the scripting on what might be going on. Not sure if that's a community pack issue or actually with HL hardcoding on the ability screen when the points array method is chosen.

Here's what my code looked like:
Quote:
<thing id="crea5ELV2" name="Fixed V2" compset="Creation">
<fieldval field="creaName" value="Fixed V2 (18/14/13/12/10/6)"/>
<arrayval field="creaAttArr" index="0" value="18"/>
<arrayval field="creaAttArr" index="1" value="14"/>
<arrayval field="creaAttArr" index="2" value="13"/>
<arrayval field="creaAttArr" index="3" value="12"/>
<arrayval field="creaAttArr" index="4" value="10"/>
<arrayval field="creaAttArr" index="5" value="6"/>
<usesource source="LHC17LPH"/>
<tag group="explicit" tag="20" name="20" abbrev="???"/>
</thing>

I would say this is a bug and should be reported. Your custom attributes are being displayed but the core "Fixed" value scores are being enforced.
