Calculating values based off tags

[AndrewD2]

I'm working up a system that will have something similar to the Pathfinder CharCalc.? and ChargeAttr.? tags that are used for calculating trkMax and I was wondering if it would be possible to see some of the component script that is used for that.

Andrew,

Typically I think when you are using this kind of thing you need something like this, where you if ... then ... elseif .... through the available tags to apply the correct values to the tracker via an eval script.

  field[whatever].value += tagvalue[thetag.?]

  ~for ChargeCalc I think its something like
  if (tagis[ChargeAttr.Strength] <> 0) then
    field[trkMax].value += #attrmod[aSTR]
  elseif ... repeat for other attributes

  if (tagis[ChargeAttr.Minimum1) then
    field[trkMax].value = maximum(1,field[trkMax].value)

Oh I have something worked out, I just wanted to see the logic they used. It's a lot simpler than a ton of if/then/else statements. You can do a lot of just if (tagis[????]) then, especially if you use tagvalue[] because for example

  if (tagis[ChargeCalc.Minimum?] <> 0) then
   field[trkMax].value = maximum(field[trxMax].value, tagvalue[ChargeCalc.Minimum?])
   endif

That would actually allow you to create new tags for minimums as long as you followed the appropriate format of Minimum? where ? is a number. Same applies for the LevelX?.? and LevelDiv?.? tags.

What I'm most interested in is their order of operation.
