Additional Starting Hindrances for specific race

[Gumbytie]

Been adapting some of the stuff from Mythos setting for a SWADE version of the game. The race demigod essentially will start with 2 extra points of Hindrances that the GM will pick. Either one extra Major or two more Minor. I am assuming my code doesn't work because this is under SWADE perhaps. I have tried two different scripts on the Racial Property and neither seem to add the additional 2 points. I don't get any errors, just no extra points and the Validation warning that I have picked too many Hindrances.

Script One:
Pre-Traits/5000
hero.child[resHinder].field[resMax].value += 2

Script Two:
Setup/5000
#resmax[resHinder] += 2

I am pretty sure I did this in a Deluxe file and it worked so that is why I am leaning towards SWADE issue. And I am pretty sure Common Code Examples has one of the above listed as well.

Any suggestions?

Do it at Setup 5000. You'll also want to modify herofield[acMaxHindP].value, it takes the lower of the two.

Thanks Caped, herofield[acMaxHindP].value += 2 works perfectly.

But another related question now, this does track the new total allowed correctly, and if you pick too many, you get the proper Validation warning. But, even after you spend the proper amount of Disadvantages, the Validator still says "Hindrance Points: Resource unspent." So everything works just the Validation doesn't clear out after you spent the correct amount. Again, it will warn you with new warning if you spend too much. So is there another place I can drop a script to clear the Validation after the new points (in this case 6) have been spent?

Hope this makes sense. It is early morning for me and still on first cup of coffee.

Hmmm - that's referring to Reward points for the extra Hindrance...
