Bracers of Disruption

[Quintain]

From ultimate psionics, the cryptic has a magic item that boosts their enhanced disruption ability by 2d6 (1d6 is the enhanced disruption increment every 2 levels starting at 3rd).

I'm trying to create these in the editor, but something is off.

The Eval script I'm putting in is simple:

#value[cPUEnhDisr] += 2

It's being applied post attributes 10000. Any idea on why this would not work (I'm not seeing the additional 2d6 on the enhanced disruption ability on the console.

Timing is very important. So most class specials are going to run at Post-Levels/10000. You are running your script at Post-Attributes/10000 "after" the class script runs.

You can always open up the .user files and look at the scripts in the community stuff to find such timing.

Ok, so I want to run it before the class script?

Correct for your changes to have any effect you need to run "Before". For most magic items/feats Pre-Levels/10000 is a good timing to go with when trying to affect a "Class Special". Exceptions exist of course but they will be rare.

Ok, that's a bit counter-intuitive, but I'll try that.

Thanks

Edit: No go. Even with the bracers equip'd, I'm not seeing any change in the console values, under the statblock or "specials".

Here's the XML:

    </thing>

Sigh. So the class ability is scripted to not use abValue. So it won't accept outside changes currently. I have that fixed for the next release.

If you want the latest fixed file you can get it from github using THIS link. Just do save as after it opens the file and save it as "COM_3PPPack_UltimatePsionics - Classes.user". Then place it in your "programData\HeroLab\data\Pathfinder" folder and let it overwrite the existing file.

[Quintain]

Ah, so I'm not going insane.

Thanks.

Edit: Fix confirmed as working now.

Edit2: if you want to add the bracers of disruption to the next release, that'd be cool too. It's an official psionic item in ultimate psionics.

[ShadowChemosh]

Cool I added them for the next update. By the way when entering the price values don't use commas it causes display issues. For a zero weight or "-" just put in no weight.

Thanks I have those added!

Ok, continuing our saga:

I'm working on the One Pattern feat, and I have the basic code for it:

field[abValue].value += (hero.child[cPUEnhDisr].field[xCount].value) + 1

hero.child[cPUEnhDisr].field[livename].text &= signed(field[abValue].value)

The problem with this is that I need to add an additional + 2 to the field[abValue].value field if Bracers of Disruption are equip'd.

Maybe my search fu is weak, but I can't seem to find out how to test to see if a specific item is equip'd. There are generic examples in the forums, but none that are fully qualified for a specific item.


I will also need to add the +1 per die of damage that the Improved Disruption feat provides as well...which is cumulative with the damage that One Pattern gives.

The final livename text should look like: Enhanced Disruption XdY +X (+X).
