Situational mods from a custom ability?

[WhiteUnggoy]

So first post at these forums, hello all.

I've been using Hero lab for a little while, it's been absolutely wonderful, and as my campaign is finding a little downtime over the holidays, I thought I'd take a crack at the editor. First thing I wanted to add with SGG's Talented Rogue as an archetype(turning all class abilities into rogue talents or "edges," a secondary custom ability.) I thought it was going to be super simple (well, not as simple as a feat or item, but still)...and so far I'm stuck at the first custom ability I'm trying to make.

So I'm trying to turn Trapfinding into a custom secondary ability (+1/2 rogue level to disable device, and to perception as a situational mod), and while I seemed to have set it up just fine, it's the script where I'm having trouble. I copy/pasted the eval scripts from the original ability, but they aren't displaying the skill bonuses in hero lab. I've been flipping back and forth through tuts and references for a few hours now, switching every thing I could think of around. Now I'm turning to you guys, as I should be getting to sleep, and hoping you can point out the likely obvious thing I'm doing wrong. Note that this is just the settings where I stopped, not fully representative of the ol' college try.

doneif (tagis[Helper.FirstCopy] = 0)

is probably stopping the rest of the script from executing. Only some custom class abilities get that tag (I believe it depends on their uniqueness).

Well, sure enough that was it. Can't believe I hadn't tried that already. Well thanks so much for your help!
