Trying to create a unique magical weapon in editor.

[Thrantor]

I'm trying to duplicate the following item...

This +1 longsword adds +5 to the wielder’s Move Silently checks. Further, anyone dealt a lethal blow by the blade is magically silenced, so that they cannot cry out, making silence an excellent weapon for assassins and others who wish to slay quickly and quietly.
Faint Illusion; CL 5th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, silence; Price 6,315 gp Cost to Create: 3,315.

So, I've got a gizmo pointing to a longsword. I've got the +1 enhancement. And I'm trying to create a eval script to handle the +5 to stealth(in pathfinder). But I can't figure out how to do an OR in the editor.

I want to do if it's equipped then +5 to the skStealth... But I'm getting an annoying error. Invalid use of a reserved word in script. Script is as follows.

if (field[gIsEquip].value = 1) then
#skillbonus[skStealth] = #skillbonus[skStealth] + 5
endif

if( field[wIs2nd].value = 1) then
#skillbonus[skStealth] = #skillbonus[skStealth] + 5
endif

Please help get me on the right path.

Is this for Pathfinder or d20?

You mention both "Move Silently" and "Stealth" - I saw move silently first, so I moved this into the d20 forum, but do you want it in the Pathfinder forum instead? (The answers could differ slightly depending on which game system this is for).

[Thrantor]

Sorry, it's Pathfinder. I'm taking a d20 item and moving it into Pathfinder.

You have a typo in the above code. You need a space after the if.

Also, your script will add 10 if the weapon is wielded in both hands.

I thought there was a separate flag for wielded in both hands?

Also, can you think of a way that says "if it's equiped" do this instead of having to check to see if it's wielded in certain hands?

Course, I'm tempted to make it a specific bonus type so that it won't stack like this currently does.

Use only a single if statement to test both hands at the same time:

 
if (field[grIsEquip].value + field[wIs2nd].value <> 0) then
  #skillbonus[skStealth] += 5
  endif

Should be "gIsEquip" (extra r), but yes, clearly that works.

Oops, sorry, I've been working on Shadowrun so much lately that I forgot that Shadowrun and Pathfinder have slightly different Ids for that field.

[Thrantor]

Oh... thats a fantastic idea. I don't care if it's 1 or 2... just as long as it's not 0. SWEET!. Thanks guys.

Any idea if we are ever going to get logical operators? And, or, nor etc?

[Mathias]

That is how to do an OR. = 2 would be an AND. Nor would be = 0. !field[gIsEquip].value is also available.

If you need more complexity, you can nest your if statements:

 
if (A relationship B) then
  if (C relationship D) then
    ~do something
    endif
  endif
