Common Code Examples

[SWADE] Various Examples which may be useful -

* Strength considered one die type higher for purposes of encumbrance, etc.

Pre-Traits/5000
herofield[acLoadBonus].value += 1

 

[TCArknight]

This will probably work in either version -

Say you have a piece of gear that gives you a particular Strength when equipped (for example is a d12+1)

Pre-Traits/5100
var strdiff as number
var curr as number

if (field[grIsEquip].value <> 0) then
  ~ get current values
  curr = #traitbonus[attrStr] + #traitcreation[attrStr] + #traituser[attrStr]
  ~ set strength to d12+1
  strdiff = 7 - curr
  #traitinplay[attrStr] += strdiff
  endif

Okay, just something I have been working on for awhile. If you like to make the creatures from your source-books or just new ones and you want more oomph to Natural Weapons. This will give you the ability to add a Natural Weapon that includes the fields for Armour Piercing and Weapon Reach. And will reflect properly on the printed character sheet.

So make a new version of abWeapon (Natural Weapon) like this with the following code:

abXXWeapon

Initialization 2000

~if we have a weapon die, we must forward it immediately (before it's used)
if (tagis[WeaponDie.?] <> 0) then
perform hero.child[wpUnarmed].pushtags[WeaponDie.?]
endif

Effects 5000

~customize the Unarmed Attack pick with the appropriate name
~Note: Do this BEFORE modifying our name below to use an undecorated name.
perform hero.child[wpUnarmed].setfocus
focus.field[livename].text = field[name].text

~set Reach to 1
focus.field[wpReach].value = field[abilValue].value

~set AP to 1
focus.field[wpPiercing].value = field[abilText].text

~get our ability text; if we have none, assume "Str"
~Note: This handles the case of a natural weapon with no additional die.
var ability as string
ability = field[abilText].text
if (empty(ability) <> 0) then
ability = "Str"
endif

~if we don't have a weapon die, assign the damage text
if (tagis[WeaponDie.?] = 0) then
focus.field[wpDamage].text = ability
endif

~if our live name is currently empty, use our default name
if (field[livename].isempty <> 0) then
field[livename].text = field[name].text
endif

~update our name appropriately for display
if (tagis[WeaponDie.?] <> 0) then
var die as number
die = tagvalue[WeaponDie.?] * 2
field[livename].text &= " (Str+d" & die & ")"
else
field[livename].text &= " (" & ability & ")"
endif

This is your cheat sheet to remember:
Fields:
livename = Attack type name
abilValue = Reach value
abilText = Armor Piercing value
