Stonewarden Class Help

I appear to have stumbled over one of the pre-defined variables in Hero Lab, and trying to make use of it is causing some confusing errors. Replace "doneone" with "hasdoneone" and it should work.

[AndrewD2]

Ok, well the ability to turn the additional arms from primary to secondary works, but the damage seems to only apply to one set of arms, and it seems to jump around depending on how many sets there are.

Is there a way to keep the wClaw damage the same for all instances, or do I need to do an eval script?

[Mathias]

 
foreach pick in hero from BaseNatWep where "IsWeapon.wClaw & !Custom.SWAddArm"
  perform eachpick.delete[wMain.?]
  perform eachpick.assign[wMain.new damage value]
  nexteach

That'll find all the claws that aren't coming from the additional arms ability.

hero.childfound[] goes to only the first one it finds - as you saw, which one is first can be rather random. The reason it works for a monk is that there is only a single wUnarmed on any character.

[AndrewD2]

Well they're all supposed to do the same damage (except for the amount of Str Mod applied). But I must have something wrong because when I add the extra arms the damage is right for those, but it goes back to 1d4 for the original attack.

[Mathias]

It sounds like you don't want to exclude the Custom.SWAddArm ones, then.

Also, how did you arrange your if...elseif...elseif...endif within the foreach...nexteach?

Within your foreach, you'll need to access the claw you're currently on with "eachpick", rather than "hero.child[wClaw]." - that way, you're accessing the current claw, not the first one found.

Also, by deleting " & !Custom.SWAddArms" from your first script, you should be able to delete the second script.

[AndrewD2]

Thanks, its working now. Also just caught a problem that took me about a minute to fix, but in case someone new comes about.

The script about should be: perform eachpick.assign[wMain.new damage amount] and not a delete.

[AndrewD2]

Alright, one of the abilities raises the damage of the bite up to that of the claws. I tried just adding an eval script with new damage amounts, but that doesn't seem to work at all. Is there something special I have to do to target wBite from an ability that didn't bootstrap it?

[Mathias]

Could you provide more detail about how you're trying to accomplish this - the Eval Script, perhaps?
