how to affect the trapfinding bonus

[psych777]

so i'm working on a feat that allows you to combine the levels of two classes for the determination of the bonus for the Trapfinding skill. i can't figure out how to get the bonus to show correctly. the two classes are Cryptic and Ranger. Cryptic has the Trapfinding feature. i've tried adding in cRogTrapfn to the fields:
xAllLev
xMaxLev
xTotalLev
abValue

adding to the first three did nothing. (well it adds to the value in that field but does nothing to change the situational total in Perception)
adding to the abValue changed the sbName to "trapfinding +7", but shortname, trkBaseNm and actName still say "Trapfinding +5" which is also what shows in Perception's situational.

how do i get Perceptions situational "Trapfinding" bonus to be increased based on my Ranger levels?

Looking at the scripts on the at Thing:

Post-Level/10000:

      ~ If we're not shown, just get out now
      doneif (tagis[Helper.ShowSpec] = 0)

      ~ If we're disabled, do nothing
      doneif (tagis[Helper.SpcDisable] <> 0)

      ~ Only do it for the first copy.
      doneif (tagis[Helper.FirstCopy] = 0)

      ~ our bonus is level /2, min 1
      field[abValue].value += maximum(round(field[xAllLev].value / 2,0,-1),1)
      field[livename].text = field[thingname].text & " " & signed(field[abValue].value)

      #skillbonus[skDisable] += field[abValue].value
      #situational_nonstatblock[hero.child[skPercep],signed(field[abValue].value) & " to locate traps",field[thingname].text]

Render/10000

field[sbName].text = lowercase(field[thingname].text) & " " & signed(field[abValue].value)

Based on the above the value is being stored in the abValue. If you had been adding to the abValue then I would have to "assume" you did it after Post-Level/10000 or at the exact same time. You need to be BEFORE PostLevel/10000. Try PostLevel/9000.
