Eval script help

[Unseelie]

I'm trying to write an eval script that gives a bonus to several skills, but it is conditional based on the type of the target (bonus to bluff vs aberrations, for example).

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

foreach pick in hero from BaseSkill where “thingid.skBluff | thingid.skDiplo | thingid.skSenseMot”
#situational[each,signed(field[abValue].value) & "bonus against aberrations and creatures of the dark tapestry (GM’s judgment).",field[thingname].text]
nexteach

I get an invalid tag expression, but I can't figure out what the correct tag is... I've been looking at other things, but I haven't found a good example of something that does this.

My thinking is that it's something that shouldn't actually add to the skills on the sheet, but should be listed as a special condition for a reminder.

Clearly I'm off in the weeds at this point. Any help would be appreciated... even if all you can do is point me in the correct direction.

I would go a little different to leave out the foreach loop. Just too CPU expensive for three skills.

Try this:

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

var Text as string
~ Build Text String once
Text = signed(field[abValue].value) & " bonus against aberrations and creatures of the dark tapestry (GM’s judgment)."

~ Set situational text onto Bluff, Diplomacy and Sense Motive.
#situational[hero.childfound[skBluff],Text,field[thingname].text]
#situational[hero.childfound[skDiplo],Text,field[thingname].text]
#situational[hero.childfound[skSenseMot],Text,field[thingname].text]

Thanks.

For my education, where could I have found the hero.childfound(skill) concept. Is there something I can look at so as to grok how to do this sort of stuff better? I've been watching the tutorials when I can... I wish you could accelerate youtube videos... I just don't have the patience to listen while staring at the screen recording for two hours.

Mathias did a nice Article called "location location location". This covers such concepts as hero.child[] and transitioning to different Picks.

I'm curious. I see under 'Racial Special Ability' something called Situational (skill) Bonus. What is that actually for? I did try using it, and despite setting it for +2, it showed in special as Situational Bonus +0.

You can totally accelerate a Youtube video. It's in the same Settings menu where you can select a different playback quality.
