My tweaks to support Themes

Ok, the Priority was the problem. Thanks.

Next question... trying to come up with a way to assign a bonus based on the character's level. Such as the secondary power of Blazing Corona Firecrafter power

not sure if we have access to CASE, so I went with nested If's

levelb = if(#level[] < 11) then 2
          else if(#level[]<21) then 4
             else 6 endif endif

But I don't know how to get at Fields.pwAtkMod to set it to the levelb value.

And FWIW I'm apparently not allowed ot use #level[] at that point in time either.

I wonder how hard it would be to split Attack Bonus into Attack Bonus Heroic, Attack Bonus Paragon, Attack Bonus Epic. And likewise for Weapon Damage and Base Damage Dice. Then have a calculation that uses the right values based on the tier, defaulting to the Heroic values if nothing is specified for Paragon and Epic The heroic values would go in identical tags fields as the current system does. Doesn't seem like it would be that hard, and seems like a better solution as there are a lot of powers that vary by level. Biggest done side would be forking even more of the 4e game system code unless I could get them to integrate it.

Do we have a place where all user-edited Themes are put BTW? Assuming more people did some, this might be nice.

Hello!

Two new questions (for the Theme I am currently implementing, Sohei):

1. How do I do this:

"You gain a +1 power bonus to saving throws against fear effects and effects that render you dazed, dominated or stunned." Well, thinking of it, there is no place on the char sheet where this would listed, so just making it a text as it is now is probably okay? ^^

2. A general question (with Sohei and other themes): Is there any way to make the number of dice dependent on the level (as the "built in" powers like Scorching burst do not support this and just write it into the text, I guess not).

Attached is my current version of "Sohei" (Thanks again for all the help with scripts !!!)

And the next Themes implemented: Noble and Disgraced Noble (in one file).

BTW: Feel free to add the files from my added Themes to the starting post, so they are easier to find!

[MagicSN]

Four more Themes.

Infernal Prince, Chevalier, Knight Hospitaler and Guttersnipe inside this one (decided to put more themes into a file to make the amount of files not so big ^^). Also some small Bugfixes on Guardian and Disgraced Noble (skill bonus was not calculated before) - The Noble.user as before contains both Noble and Disgraced Noble.

Anyone has an idea what I did wrong in the +1 to fire attack powers Feature's Script for the Infernal Prince? It seems to be not working. If anybody has an idea how I could fix it this would be great!

How do I implement this: Use Intelligence or Charisma (the highest) for this power.

I tried basing it on this which was posted earlier

var bonus as number
var attidstr as string

~ Use Int as default - this might not be necessary
bonus = #attrbonus[attrInt]
attidstr = "attrInt"

~ Find highest bonus
foreach pick in hero from Attribute
if (eachpick.field[attrBonus].value > bonus) then
bonus = eachpick.field[attrBonus].value
attidstr = eachpick.idstring
endif
nexteach

~ Use that as the damage and attack attributes
perform assignstr["Attack." & attidstr]

My idea was to put into the foreach something like

if ((eachpick.idstring == "Charisma") || (eachpick.idstring == "Intelligence"))

but how is the correct syntax ???

Thanks in advance.

I can answer my own question:

It seems though that code like this should be included into a LOT of
powers, they always took the easy way and used just one of the options and wrote the rest down as text. Note, that a third variable (attidstr3) is needed, originally I had "attidstr = "attrCha"" etc. in this example overwriting the old value and then it always used the default, when I was using a third variable it works correctly (for both cases, Int>Cha and Cha>Int)

var bonus as number
var bonus2 as number
var attidstr as string
var attidstr2 as string
var attidstr3 as string

bonus = #attrbonus[attrInt]
attidstr = "attrInt"
bonus2 = #attrbonus[attrCha]
attidstr2 = "attrCha"

if (#attrbonus[attrCha]>#attrbonus[attrInt]) then
bonus = #attrbonus[attrCha]
attidstr3 = "attrCha"
else
bonus = #attrbonus[attrInt]
attidstr3 = "attrInt"
endif



~ Use that as the damage and attack attributes
perform assignstr["DamageAttr." & attidstr3]
perform assignstr["Attack." & attidstr3]

Please note I updated some of the themes I implemented, but only did so in the other thread, the one were I summary-list all the .user files from me (so people do not have to search for Theme-Files in a big thread).
