Hi,
In my never ending quest to get the lizardman Primitive racial property to work I decided to try and modify the Very Costly Attribute racial property. Now the script to apply that to Smarts is Code:
linkage[Attribute].field[trtCost].value += 1 Code:
linkage="Attribute" thing="attrSma" Code:
linkage[Skill].field[sklCost].value += 1 Code:
linkage="Skill" thing="skKnow" Obviously I am doing something wrong here. Am I completely out in left field and need to try another approach or is it just a matter of getting the syntax right for this script? Thanks -Erich |

I'm pretty sure you would not need to change the Eval script at all. I'm pretty sure the scripts, as is, will set appropriate costs for things based on what you link. I think you only need to modify the Linkage to skKnow. The problem there seems to be that doing that gives you an error that "'skKnow' must be specified as unique", presumably because the source code is set up so that if you put Knowledge in as the link it wants a focus for that knowledge skill (like Knowledge: Battle or Knowledge: Latin or whatever.) I don't know if there is a way around that at all without modifying the underlying source code to handle it, but maybe someone like CapedCrusader could give more insight on that one.
EDIT: Scratch that, it's giving the error because it wasn't a skill with a "Uniqueness" setting of "Unique", which skKnow is not (because you can have multiples of those.) So focus makes no difference in that case. I still think that's still probably a source code issue, though. Something to do with the script "VeryCostlyAttribute", at a guess, which simply may have to be that way. I don't know.

Check my other post... Skills work differently than Attributes in this aspect.
