Counting Feats

Hmm I always add a negative value rather than subtract a positive value. I can't think of it now but I swear I ran into a issue long time ago with subtracting a positive value.

So you guys would subtract a positive then? hmmmm

Also yea I forgot the period above. I did not know about the herofield is actually hero.child[totals]. That makes sense now that you say it.

So really it should be:

field[abValue].value += tagcount[fCategory.Metamagic] * 2
herofield[tHP].value += field[abValue].value

What value is inside "abValue2". That can help narrow down if the issue is in the count calculation or how its getting added to the HP total.

when I debug it tells me the tagcount[fCategory.Arcana] is 1 and abValue2 is 2 but it should be tagcount = 4 and abValue 8 with what's on the character. It seems it is only counting itself.

And in case it helps here's the feat:

Arcane Body
Your arcane power reinforces your body.

Benefit: When you take this feat, you gain 2 hit points for each arcana feat you have (including this one). Whenever you take a new arcana feat, you gain 2 more hit points.

You add 1 point to your arcane pool.

Opps my bad. I did that script a little too quick. Your right it is only looking at itself.

~ Add to abValue first so outside things can adjust us
field[abValue].value += 1
~ add to the pool total
#trkmax[trkArcaneP] += field[abValue].value

field[abValue2].value += hero.tagcount[fCategory.Arcana] * 2
herofield[tHP].value += field[abValue2].value

I forgot to add "hero." before tagcount so it would look at the hero not itself.

THANK YOU! Works beautifully. Originally when I was working this out in my head I knew it needed to have that, looks like I forgot too. :-D
