How do I do this? (Pathfinder)

Thanks in advance for your patience. I'm learning to do the scripts by example and using similar scripts, but that only carries me so far without help.

The error message tells you the problem is on line 1. What is on line 1 which might be the issue?

[QUOTE=Aaron;184744]Yeah, I guess this one is pretty tough for a beginner. Here is how I would start. As I said, not tested, may need to tweak.

Yeah, the last real programming I did was in high school, a lot longer ago than I care to disclose. And that was nothing compared to this. My head spins trying to keep track of all this and I'm honestly not up to the job.

Tried this and got a syntax error in the 'eval' script on line 10, error in right-side expression of assignment.

No idea what this means but I hope you do. I copied and pasted your script as written above.

I know I should know better, but I apologize for being a bit of a pest. I checked the how-to guides on the forum (and will re-check them since I can learn more), but they don't cover a lot of the intricate coding detail and there's just no way I can figure it all out on my own.

Line 10 is
currlevel = eachpick.field[cTotalLev].value - 1

which I thought was fine. I guess try changing it to

currlevel = eachpick.field[cTotalLev].value
currlevel -= 1

Well, that fixed the error on line 10. But now line 11 is giving an error:
"use of the +=, -=, or /= assignment forms is restricted to numeric values."

But hey, that's progress!

I see the problem, change the line that says

var currlevel as string to
var currlevel as number

DING! We got it!

I had one more error on the tag of the pclass, but through trial and error I was able to track that down myself in the Tags. Thank you! One down, about a gazillion to go! (I'll go slowly on them!)

Or so I thought...

When I went to apply this on a character I'd created, I got an error message:

"Attempt to access field 'UsrCandid1' that does not exist for thing 'cHelpMhr'"

Same error message for 'UsrChosen1'

cHelpMhr is the Unique ID for the pclass Monster Hunter.

The eval script should be on a class ability, not the class itself.

The error message you've quoted shows some capitalization errors - UsrCandid1, instead of usrCandid1 and UsrChosen1 instead of usrChosen1. Did you capitalize those when writing down the error message, or are they capitalized in your code?

I capitalized them when typing here. They are lower case in the error message, which doesn't allow me to select and copy text so I'm transcribing. Good question.
