Racial Special Question

I am trying to set up a racial special that lets the user choose a number between 2 and 5 and then apply it as a racial bonus to stealth. I am a bit lost but I have some experience with the editor.
 
This the special "Goblins can blend into their surroundings by subtle changes in skin color. This grants a +5 maximum bonus on Stealth checks, depending on how much of their skin is covered.

(+2 for 75% covered (Med. Armor), +3 for 50% covered (Light Armor), +4 for 25% covered (No Armor). +5 for virtually nude)" and I can set up a user selectable array but I can not figure out a way to find that selection (from my array) and turn it into the correct bonus.
 
I think the array selection is stored in the "usrSelect" field, you can pull that out and store it in the abValue field if it is a simple number, then add that to your stealth situational or as a flat bonus.
 
I had noticed that before and tried to use "usrSelect" as my skill modifier, with no results. So I tried this instead.

Code: 
    ~set abValue as numerical variable
    var abValue as number

    ~set abValue as numerical varibale (HL throws up an error if I do not do this)
    var usrSelect as number

    ~set abValue to usrSelect
    abValue = usrSelect

    ~apply number in abValue to Stealth
    #skillbonus[skStealth] += abValue

It still does not work. My array choices are: 0, 2, 3, 4, 5.

The error I get is:

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

Syntax error in 'eval' script for Thing 'raIKGobCam' (Eval Script '#1') on line 3
-> Reference to undeclared variable: 'usrSelect'
 
You're declaring variables, but you're not setting their values. Also, in this case it'd be better to set the value in a field, so other things can modify it.

Try this at First 10000:

Code: 
    field[abValue].value += field[usrSelect].value

    ~ Add to our stealth
    #skillbonus[skStealth] += field[abValue].value
 
Thanks for the help so far. That pops up with:

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

Syntax error in 'eval' script for Thing 'raIKGobCam' (Eval Script '#1') on line 7
-> Attempt to access text-based field 'usrSelect' as value.
 
Oops. Typo.

Code: 
    field[abValue].value += field[usrSelect].text

    ~ Add to our stealth
    #skillbonus[skStealth] += field[abValue].value
