Editor setting a Competance Bonus on Ranged Attacks

[Mad Hamish]

I'm trying to add a competence bonus to ranged attacks
(I'm looking at building the Channel Vigor options)

I've tried
~ If we're not enabled, get out now
doneif (field[pIsOn].value = 0)

~ Add to our ranged attack bonus
#applybonus[BonComp, hero.child[basAttackR], 4]

and
#competencebonus[hero.child[basAttackR], 4]

and I get
Attempt to access field 'BonComp' that does not exist for thing 'basAttackR'

for either of them

If I change it to
#competencebonus[hero.child[Attack], 4]
that works on all attacks

Could somebody please let me know what I'm doing wrong?

The #applybonus[] macro is looking for three things of input:
#applybonus[FIELD_NAME_FROM_PICK, PICK_ON_THE_HERO, THE_BONUS_TO_APPLY]

In this case your looking for giving Ranged Attacks. So go to Develop->Floating Info Windows->Show Selection Fields and we want to look at the "Attack" pick. We see it has fields:

So with all the above info we can now easily make the macro:

#applybonus[atrBonComp,hero.child[Attack],4]

Thanks for that, the expression you've given works

I hadn't understood exactly how to use the Debug Windows to get information.

That's going to be a massive help for me.
