How do I get Stone of Good Luck to add bonus?

[dropbear8mybaby]

I'm still new to all this and scripting isn't something I'm very good at since I have trouble wrapping my head around it, to be honest. So I've tried a bunch of ways to figure this out but can't get it to work. I've managed to get the +1 to initiative to work by copying some of the scripting from Alert, but can't seem to get the scripting from anything else that adds an ability bonus to work and I'm not sure even why it's not working.

In my opinion, the scripting on the Stone of Good Luck was badly design. But that just my opinion.

The skill bonuses from a Luck Stone can be found as Situational bonuses by moving your cursor over the ability score itself.

Personally I'd have applied the bonus to the actual skills.

It lists it under each ability score on the sheet as well but doesn't add it to the actual skills. Is there any way to switch this so that it adds to all the skills? I just can't figure out how to do it myself otherwise I'd just go ahead with it. I'm not very good at scripting unfortunately and still trying to figure out a lot of HL's functionality, and just sort-of stumbling along blindly with it.

Do you know how to use the editor to create copies of things?

If so, create a copy of the Stone of Good Luck in either an existing personal .user file or a new one if you prefer.

Replace the existing Eval Script with the following one:

doneif (field[gIsAttuned].value = 0)

hero.child[svAll].field[Bonus].value += 1
foreach pick in hero from BaseSkill
eachpick.field[Bonus].value += 1
nexteach

hero.child[Initiative].field[Bonus].value += 1

This gets rid of the Situation bonus and adds the bonus directly to the skills themselves. In addition, since Initiative counts as a skill (see Bard, Jack of all Trades) I added that bonus also since HL forgot it.

Also, I added the tagid of the original Stone of Good Luck to the field labeled 'Replaces Thing Id' over on the right. I did this so I wouldn't have 2 copies. The updated version replaces the original.

Let me know if this helps.

It's the only way I know how to customise things, lol.

Sweet Christmas!

I'll try and understand what you did to make that work so that I don't have to keep asking questions for other things, lol.

Thanks.
