Trying to add an edge from Wierd Wars - Weird War II

[Darksaint]

The Edge is:

College Boy
Requirements: Novice, Smarts d8+
This soldier spent some time in college before being drafted or enlisting. He has an additional 4 skill points to spend on any Smarts related skills. At least one of these must be a Knowledge skill at d6 or better (his Major).

I've added quite a few other edges & hindrances from this setting, but I cannot figure out how to get the additional 4 skill points to work. While I could use a Permanent Adjustment from the Personal Tab (for the character), I'd much rather know how to code it so I will be able to use this edge more than once.

Any help would be appreciated.

OK so you are essentially adding a Knowledge skill at d6 and two other skill points.

Create your Edge and bootstrap (not bookmark...) the skKnow thing. This will give you a free Knowledge Skill at d4.

Add this as an Eval Script: Pre-Traits:5000:1

perform #traitadjust[skKnow,+,1,"College Boy"]

#resmax[resSkill] += 3

That bumps your Knowledge skill up to a d6, and adds the extra skill points.

Then you will need to add in an Eval Rule or Expr-reqs which counts the number of ranks in Smarts skills and sends up a flag if it is under 4. will see if I can come up with a script for that sometime soon.

OK, thanx a bunch... if I have any issues I'll let you know.

Any luck on that additional script for the additional Knowledge skill points? I've tried looking at the "standard" SW edges for an idea of how it might be done, but haven't seen anything that looked close.

The work around that I'm using is to add 4 skill points under permanent adjustments and making sure that the points are added to Knowledge based skills.

perhaps something in an eval rule (Validation/1000) like:

var smartcount as number
smartcount = 0
foreach pick in hero where "component.Skill"
if (compare(eachpick.linkage[attribute].idstring,"attrSma") = 0) then
smartcount += eachpick.field[trtFinal].value - 1
endif
nexteach
validif (smartcount >= 4)

with a message that reads:
College Boy requires at least 4 points spent in Smarts skills.

Added and updated my version... thank you for your assistance.
