Error on Right Side

[blzbob]

I'm trying to get the hardness loss to be automatically calculated for this ability.

Deteriorate: The alchemist can weaken the durability of inanimate objects. On a successful hit, the object loses 1 hardness for every two levels of the alchemist. Attended and magical objects are allowed a Fortitude saving throw to negate this effect: DC 10 + one-half alchemist level + alchemist’s Intelligence modifier.

I tried this (I took it from Stunning Fist):

~ If we're disabled, do nothing
doneif (tagis[Helper.FtDisable] <> 0)

var levels as number
levels = #totallevelcount[] - #levelcount[Alchemist]

field[trkMax].value += #levelcount[Alchemist] levels/2,0,-1

I get the error:

Hero Lab was forced to stop compilation after the following errors were detected:

Syntax error in 'eval' script for Thing 'cRGGAlDe' (Eval Script '#1') on line 7
-> Error in right-side expression of assignment

Where did I go wrong?

#levelcount[Alchemist] levels/2,0,-1

does not make sense. I think what you want is to halve levels and then round down? That would be

round(levels/2,0,-1)

This is what I'm using:

~ If we're disabled, do nothing
doneif (tagis[Helper.FtDisable] <> 0)

var levels as number
levels = #totallevelcount[] - #levelcount[Alchemist]

field[trkMax].value += #levelcount[Alchemist] round(levels/2,0,-1)

This is the error I'm getting:

Hero Lab was forced to stop compilation after the following errors were detected:

Syntax error in 'eval' script for Thing 'cRGGAlDe' (Eval Script '#1') on line 7
-> Error in right-side expression of assignment

I've also tried (from the Bravery script):

field[listname].text = "Reduce Hardness by +" & field[xIndex].value

~ If we're not shown, just get out now
doneif (tagis[Helper.ShowSpec] = 0)

var calclevel as number
calclevel = #levelcount[Alchemist].value
field[abValue].value = round(calclevel/2, 0, -1)

And I'm getting the error:

Hero Lab was forced to stop compilation after the following errors were detected:

Syntax error in 'eval' script for Thing 'cRGGAlDe' (Eval Script '#1') on line 7
-> Error in right-side expression of assignment

Even with the change, I can't get it to compile.

[Aaron]

#levelcount[Alchemist].value

Should be just:

#levelcount[Alchemist]

Anything with a # in front of it is a macro, and doesn't need a .value or .text after it, that is handled within the processes of the macro. Try this:

~ If we're disabled, do nothing
doneif (tagis[Helper.FtDisable] <> 0)

var levels as number
levels = #totallevelcount[] - #levelcount[Alchemist]

field[trkMax].value += round(levels/2,0,-1)

Awesome! Thanks.
