Strange feats I am trying to add

Is there an equivalent thing for checking the number of times a Custom ability has been taken?

hero.childcount[XXX] - as I mentioned in that email, this has the same problems as picklives[] (which seems to have been replaced by childlives[], BTW) - it will count replaced copies. That's not as bad a problem for custom class specials as class abilities, though, since I can't currently think of a situation where one could be added to the hero but not be valid as a prereq for something else.

In that thread I got distracted and forgot about the problem while getting others answered by the ever helpful mghel. I don't want to revive that thread, so I'll just bring it back up here. The extent that I have for scripts is:

~ Add 2 to our chosen skill
field[fChosen].chosen.field[Bonus].value += 2
.
.
.
When I select a skill, I get an error "Attempt to assign field value with no pick context".

Aaron, or anyone else...was there ever a solution to this problem? I'm getting the same error message with this code:

field[usrChosen1].chosen.field[cArcFail].value = 0

Note: I am attempting to reduce Arcane Failure chance to 0 for a specific class as chosen by the class special.

What do you have set for "Restrict To..."?

Ah..that's what it was. I had it set to All Things when it needed to be All Picks on Hero. Thanks.
