Weird...Example doesn't do what it says...

[Enforcer84]

So I copied and pasted this from the Reference Guide for a racial ability:

~ Add our dexterity bonus to the melee attack bonus
hero.child[Attack].field[tAtkMelee].value = hero.child[Attack].field[tAtkMelee].value + hero.child[aDEX].field[aModBonus].value

and it does not add to melee attacks but DOES add to Combat Maneuver Bonus...

Has this changed?

[Aaron]

It may have. A while back I did a re-organization of bonus types so that things like "an insight bonus to melee attacks" but not ranged ones could be handled. It's possible that tAtkMelee might have changed into an intermediate field or something else in that change.

[Enforcer84]

so would I try to use wMeleeAttr field?

[Aaron]

Is it an untyped bonus? If so I would use atmBonus

[Enforcer84]

it is untyped, would I substitute tAtkMelee with atmBonus?

[Aaron]

It's almost certainly faster to check that out yourself than to wait for my response.

[AndrewD2]

took me a while to figure these out myself when they first showed up.

at = attack
dm = damage
m = melee
r = ranged
and then the bonus type

so atmBonus = untyped Bonus to melee attack, atrBonus = untyped Bonus to ranged attack, dmmBonus = untyped Bonus to Melee Damage, dmrBonus = untyped Bonus to Ranged damage.

Indeed it was...didn't work

I tried this...

hero.child[Attack].field[atmBonus].value += hero.child[aDEX].field[aModBonus].value

and the CMD bonuses disappear but the atmBonus does not appear for the attack.

And a bunch of other even stranger things...the less said about them the better.

What is the timing of your script?

In addition I assume your running before Post-Attributes/10000 which means the Dex "Bonus" has not been calculated yet. So trying moving to Post-Attributes/10000. Plus you can shorten the above code by using a macro:

hero.child[Attack].field[atmBonus].value += #attrmod[aDEX]

I cribbed it from the website...
Post-Attributes User, priority 10000,


oh and check that, it does show up on CMB - but it doesn't list all the maneuvers separately anymore.
