How to make a trait give a DC and have it show up beside the trait

jbearwillis · February 6th, 2014, 12:56 AM

I was wondering how I would go about having a trait that works like the frightening presence racial ability, but is an (EX) ability with a radius of 20 and a DC of (10 + Charisma modifier + 1/2 Class level) and have it show up beside the trait. Everything I have tried hasn't worked.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jbear

#dc[trait unique id] = 10 + hero.child[aCHA].field[aModBonus].value + round(#totallevelcount[] / 2, 0, -1)

If you can't steal the tags from something that has it, the macro above should do the trick, just make sure you assign it to post attributes 10,000 since it has to run after the attributes and levels are calculated.

Are the StandardDC tags not working for traits? I would think they should.

Or is the issue that you are seeing the DC elsewhere (on the specials tab), but not next to the trait on the feats tab?

Aaron, I used the StandardDC, in the trait under the Special Information:
I have the "Show in Specials List" Checked
1) Ability Classification (EX),
2) Standard DC: Charisma
3) Save Type: Will Neg
All tags show up in the Tags Tab, Then I saved
When I pick the trait, the Only thing that shows up in the Specials tab is the trait name and the "Ability Classification (EX). That's it nothing else.
When I put my own code in the Eval Scripts tab and also the one RavenX gave me all of it shows up. I don't know why it doesn't work with out the script RavenX gave me. After putting his code in all of what I need shows.

You should probably submit a bug report. Sounds like a bug to me.

It's alright, I've already got it corrected. It should be in the next release.

Ok - Thank you very much Aaron. Raven I was waiting to hear back from Aaron to see if I was doing something wrong, LOL. I guess I wasn't going crazy thinking I just couldn't get it to work. Spent several hours on that little bugger before I posted the question. Can you say Dumba**, LOL

Dude, this is my life. I don't let it frustrate me anymore though. If something isn't working I'll ask them and Mathias will usually tell me to put in a bug report for it if its not something he can fix right away. If something's not working like it should, it's usually a bug.
