hi
first post and i know nothing about Eval... i want to do something VERY, INCREDIBLY simple but cant figure our HTFF to make it work... ok, here it is, 10 + ProfBonus + aCHA = (number here) take (number here) and display it next to the item name in the specials tab... so instead of being DC 13 like on the link below, its DC (number here), and will change with charisma and proficiency bonus changes... thats it! https://www.dropbox.com/s/fgc1wgnaby...%20DC.PNG?dl=0 Last edited by Cynder; January 11th, 2017 at 03:54 PM. |

I would recommend reading the Glossary of Terms for the Editor. Then check out FAQ#2 for all the places to learn about the editor including YouTube videos. Welcome to the wonderful world of using the HL editor which will be the most frustrating and rewarding thing you can do with Hero Lab.

Sorry I try and teach people to "fish" I don't provide the FISH. It is usually pointless because then they come back every 10 minutes looking for another Fish.
In addition your question does not have enough information to provide you with an answer. Even more confusing you asked this in Pathfinder and 5e which are different games systems. So first which game system are you building in? What "Thing" (Custom Ability, Ability, Racial Ability, Class, Archetype) will this eval script going to run on? Most racial abilities have DC logic built directly into the editor and don't even need a script. Its a few button presses. Find another Thing to look at in the editor and "COPY" its logic. That is best way to learn to do things in the editor. Finding another Thing that does similar logic and copy it.

i can understand that and that's cool and all but this is the only "fish" i need. i have figured everything else out already and my time is short (need this weekend), i don't ask questions at all normally so this is a desperation measure for me, not laziness. i asked this in the 5E side originally but saw the pathfinder side was more populated, so i asked it here as well since i figured i am asking for a "count and display" value, witch would work on any system the same really. (in my mind, forgive me if that's not so) more details needed: system: 5E side. what is this running: custom race ability on a custom race WITH custom arcatypes. what race then?: kitsune race, whats this for?: the effect is a saving throw, DC 10 + prof bonus + charisma = saveing value. i already worked out how to link the prof and charisma, don't know how to make it add ten, and give me a number, and then display it like it would a normal DC value. (see Dropbox link for what i mean) why not use normal DC?: simple, i found that button in a heartbeat, but normal for 5E is 8 +prof+char... not 10+prof+char and that +2 in 5E makes a MASSIVE difference. why not copy paste?: tryed that, cant find a script that does this. because as you said normally its one button click in the editor, DC + PROF + CHAR.. i need to add 2 to that somehow... and the editor itself wont let me add 2 to that automatic button thing. |

Also the +prof bonus I read as "Profane Bonus" for Pathfinder but Proficiency bonus makes more sense for 5e. FYI The dropbox link for me goes to a 404 not found. I can't do 5e scripting off the top of my head. Once I get home from work tonight I will look and post up a script answer. Just keep in mind you ever ask for a fish again I will point you right back at the FAQ section.

Saves in 5E are usually 8 + Proficiency bonus + the appropriate abilty score modifier (Charisma in the case).
Since you are setting the DC not modifying, ShadowChemosh's script should be: Quote:

Except he specifically asked for 10 plus not 8 plus. Which also added confusion when he was posting this in Pathfinder. As I didn't know he was talking 5e.
