I posted this a long time ago and I lost the post but what I could really use is

In the section where you add things to the character from spells cast. I would like for it to be able to have a shield bonus an armor bonus and dodge bonus a natural bonus and any other types of AC bonus spells give you

Im not that great with the editor besided in making monsters

Thanks in advance

Can't you just use temporary adjustments? You can have one for each. For example, if you cast Mage Armor, Shield, and drink a potion of barkskin, you would use three different temporary AC adjustments. You would just have to enter the source yourself.

So you would have:
Armor Class +4, Mage Armor (armor)
Armor Class +4, Shield (shield)
Armor Class +2, Barkskin (natural)

You would have to make sure the stacking rules apply but by writing the type of bonus in the source field, that would be very simple.

Below is the scripts for three different Adjustments(and conditions) that will apply a specific type of bonus to your AC. In HL the difference between a Condition or Adjustment is changed by placing a check mark next to "Is Condition?" in the editor. If it is a Condition you will need to reload the data set before you will see it. Either using Ctrl-R or exiting and starting HL again.

This script will only apply the highest Armor bonus to AC. So if wearing armor of +4 and applying a +4 Armor adjustment the final bonus will be +4.

as an Adjustment

~Pre-Levels 10,000
      ~ If we're not enabled, get out now
      doneif (field[pIsOn].value = 0)

      ~ Add to our armor class
      hero.child[ArmorClass].field[tACArmor].value = maximum(field[pAdjust].value,hero.child[ArmorClass].field[tACArmor].value)

as a Condition +4

~Pre-Levels 10,000
      ~ If we're not enabled, get out now
      doneif (field[pIsOn].value = 0)

      ~ Add +4 to our armor class
      hero.child[ArmorClass].field[tACArmor].value = maximum(4,hero.child[ArmorClass].field[tACArmor].value)

This works the same as the armor script, but applies the highest Shield bonus to AC.

Natural is a little weird is most of the time it will stack. So this scripts will stack with other applied natural AC bonuses.

as an Adjustment

~Pre-Levels 10,000
      ~ If we're not enabled, get out now
      doneif (field[pIsOn].value = 0)

      ~ Add to our armor class
      hero.child[ArmorClass].field[tACNatural].value += field[pAdjust].value

as a Condition +2

~Pre-Levels 10,000
      ~ If we're not enabled, get out now
      doneif (field[pIsOn].value = 0)

      ~ Add +2 to our armor class
      hero.child[ArmorClass].field[tACNatural].value += 2

Hope that helps.

Just as a note, the #applybonus[] macro works anytime you want to apply a non-stacking field, not just on the Modifiers:

 
hero.child[ArmorClass].field[tACArmor].value = maximum(field[pAdjust].value,hero.child[ArmorClass].field[tACArmor].value)

can be written as:

 
#applybonus[tACArmor,hero.child[ArmorClass],field[pAdjust].value]
