Half-way done with custom class

That helped, thanks! I got it to work by adding the bootstrap tag Helper.GritUseINT when I bootstrapped trkGrit from the Amateur Gunslinger feat. This is now working as intended.

Knocked off 12 out of 18 bugs, almost done!

Number 3 involves a class special that, when activated, grants DR 2/-.

First, I bootstrapped xDamRed to the ability, made a bootstrap field abSumm with an 'assign' value of "DR " & DamRed & " /-". I also added the bootstrap tags HasAbility.xDamRd, Ability.xDamRd, ActiveList.xDamRd, DescInfo.xDamRd, Activated.xDamRd, SpecType.DR and thingid.xDamRd.

My eval script was next:
(Post Attributes, 10000)

~ if we're not activated, just get out now
      doneif (field[abilActive].value = 0)

      var DamRed as number
      DamRed = round(field[xTotalLev].value / 4, 0, -1) -1

~Grant damage reduction 
      #applydr[xDamRd,DamRed]

~Change description to reflect scaling
      field[CustDesc].text = "Gain DR " & DamRed & " /-"
      field[abSumm].text = "Gain DR " & DamRed & " /-"
      field[alistName].text = "Gain DR " & DamRed & " /-"

There doesn't seem to be any problem with the code, but I want "DR" plus the value to appear on the specials tab. What I've done so far hasn't worked.

Well, I am a little unclear on the issue. Are you saying:

A) I want this special which can be activated to show up on the specials tab always, but it isn't showing.

or

B) I activated this special, and I expected to see Damage Reduction to appear on the specials tab, but it didn't show.

If A), what sort of ability is this, class special or custom special ability? Check that they don't have the Helper.SpecUp tag and that they have Helper.ShowSpec (if a class special).

If B), add a debug to make sure that your script is getting past the activation stop and check the value of your variable is calculated as higher than 1.

Maybe add field[livename].text = "Gain DR " & DamRed & " /-"

Yes, this was what was needed. I need to remember the field 'livename', I get the feeling it gets used a lot.

Thanks for the help!

Wait, do you have damage resistance showing up as a separate ability on the special tab, along with this change in the name of this ability?

All DeltaMasterMind's suggestion is doing is changing the display of this ability - it has nothing to do with really adding damage reduction.

Bug #4 involves an ability that grants Fast Healing, but only if the hero's current hit points are lower than 50% of his total hit points.

I believe that the 'tagis[Helper.SpcDisable]' should be applied if the test condition is false, so at least I have something figured out. What I can't seem to find are where current hit points are located. I think I found total hit points in container.child[Totals].field[tHP].value, but I'm not sure if that's the right field or not.

Where do I find the fields for current and total hit points so I can write my test condition?

Hopefully this is a simple one. I want a class ability to change the action economy of a previous class ability from a standard action to a swift action.

I can see that the ability to be modified has a tag of abAction.Standard. I'm guessing I want to disable this tag and add a new tag of abAction.Swift. I'm just not sure how to do it. I looked through the tutorials, but couldn't locate anything.

Thanks!

I'm sure there are feats or another class's ability which will do this.

I found the "tagreplace" command, but I'm still getting the syntax wrong. The pick is cBLoMedic1, and I want to replace the tag "abAction.Standard" with "abAction.Swift"

hero.child[cBLoMedic1].tagreplace[abAction.Standard,abAction.Swift]

This produces an error parsing the script. I get the feeling I'm not pointing to the right 'child', but can't for the life of me figure out what it is.
