Configuarable scripting

[Mergon]

Chemosh:

I am working with a configurable.
For Secondary Ability Total: I have it set to 1 atm.
Here is my elav script atm:

Phase: Post-level, Priority: 21000

~ If we're not shown, just get out now
doneif (tagis[Helper.ShowSpec] = 0)

doneif (tagis[Helper.Disable] <> 0)

var iLevel as number
var iCount as number
iLevel = hero.child[cHelpPri].field[cTotalLev].value

if (iLevel >= 17) then
iCount = 5
elseif (iLevel >= 14) then
iCount = 4
elseif (iLevel >= 11) then
iCount = 3
elseif (iLevel >= 7) then
iCount = 2
else
iCount = 1
endif

field[cfgSpent2].value = iCount

I am just trying to increase the number of picks the class gets from a list of Secondary Class Abilities.

So far everythign else has wored for this class, this is the only thing still tying me up. :/

Pretty sure this is the issue. In my examples I was setting cfgMax2 (which is the "maximum" number of custom abilities allowed). Your setting the Number "Spent" which will get overwritten at like Final something.

Change to cfgMax2 from cfgSpent2 and see if things work.

If this is the issue I will toss myself out my windows . . . only 5-foot drop . . .

Just to show another way that is more flexible I would set the script up on the Class as a class special. Then bootstrap the class special multiple times to the class at levels 17,14,11 & 7. Then I would set the configurable to be "one" as that is the default.

Then use this script on the class special:
Post-Level/10000:

      ~ If we're not shown, just get out now
      doneif (tagis[Helper.ShowSpec] <> 1)
      ~ if we've been disabled, get out now
      doneif (tagis[Helper.Disable] <> 0)

      ~ Give another Custom Ability choice
      hero.childfound[XXXXXXX].field[cfgMax2].value += 1

Now the above code simply increments "one" more use each time the ability becomes "active" on the character as they level.

This also allows an archetype or ability to disable a "single" level of the class ability leaving the rest to function. That maybe more of a pathfinder concern but I thought 5e had archetypes.

As I started to tell some of the Pathfinder editors as they got better. You may need a Rubber Ducky Debugger!

I'll have to try your second idea later when I have the time. The change to cfgMax2 didn't fix whatever my issues is . . .

When you look at the configurable debug fields do you see the cfgMax2 field changing?

Can you send me the .user file to look at? Its allot easier for me to debug stuff if I can see it.

ShadowChemosh:

Your 2nd advised method working great. Once again my hat comes off to the codemeister.

Thanks again Chemosh.

ShadowChemosh:

I am finally done with my Princess class. Once my issue with the configure was solved, everything else went smooth as silk.

Many thanks to all who helped.
