Set stats (not point buy)

JStreet · January 15th, 2013, 03:07 PM

I am trying to use the authoring kit to make the new IKRPG for hero labs. The Game doesn't have much for mechanic's, but im net to hero lab programming. The Game has set stats per race, with 3 points to spend after.

How would one set the Stats to a said amount? I see how to add a bonus to them, but thats it.

Thanks
Jon

Have them default to 0, and have the race add the correct amount of bonus to that base to get the right total for that attribute on that race.

Seems redundant, why do it ALL by hand in the program... might as well do it on Paper. Is there no way to set them to a default?

The numbers get stored as fields on the individual races, and adding them as bonuses is handled by a single script on the race component that just adds whatever field value is there. So all you do to create a new race using the editor is to enter the numbers for each race - no programming required to set up each individual race (just some programming to set up the generic behaviors for all races).
