Encumbrance Threshold error

[Tengu1958]

I am trying to create the Encumbrance Threshold for the Star Wars RPG Edge of the Empire. Taking the skeleton files and following the Savage Worlds walkthru and modifying where needed such as here. I am trying to convert the load limit to encumbrance threshold.

When I compile HL informs that I it was forced to stop compilation because I have syntax error in eval script for thing resEncThr (Eval Script "Apply 'EncThr'). This is an unspecified error parsing script.

This is the eval script #2 which I am trying to modify from Savage Worlds system to Star Wars RPG. I need to be able to add 5 to Brawn to get my Encumbrance Threshold. Thanks for any help. I am not a programmer.


<thing
id="resEncThr"
name="Encumbrance Threshold"
compset="Resource">
<fieldval field="resMin" value="0"/>
<tag group="Helper" tag="Bootstrap"/>

<eval index="1" phase="Traits" priority="7000" name="Calc EncThr">
<before name="Calc resLeft"/><![CDATA[
~our maximum is based on 5 plus Brawn
field[resMax].value = 5 + #trait[attrBr]
]]></eval>

<eval index="2" phase="Traits" priority="8000" name="Apply EncThr">
<after name="Accrue Weight"/>
<after name="Calc EncThr"/><![CDATA[
~get quantity spent from encumbrance resource and save it in "extra" field
var spent as number
spent = #resspent[resEncumb]
field[resExtra].value = spent

~if we haven't exceeded the encumbrance threshold, there's nothing to do
if (spent <= field[resMax].value) then
done
endif

~calculate how much we exceeded the threshold by
var overage as number
overage = round(spent - field[resMax].value,0,-1)

~apply the appropriate penalty to all Brawn and Agility rolls
#traitroll[attrBr] -= overage
#traitroll[attrAg] -= overage

~apply the penalty to all skills based on Brawn and Agility
foreach pick in hero where "component.Skill & (Attribute.attrBr | Attribute.attrAg)"
eachpick.field[trtRoll].value -= overage

Went and looked at the finished Savage Worlds code and adapted it to Star Wars RPG. This is what it looks like now. I am getting an Encumbrance Resource overspent error, but I have not looked at the thing_validation file. Happy it compiled now. The code looks like this:

<thing
id="resEncumb"
name="Encumbrance"
compset="Resource">
<fieldval field="resMin" value="0"/>
<tag group="Helper" tag="Bootstrap"/>
<tag group="explicit" tag="1"/>
<tag group="Helper" tag="NoMinimum"/>

<!-- Calculate our maximum level based on the load limit resource -->
<eval index="1" phase="Traits" priority="4500" name="Calc Encumbrance">
<before name="Calc resLeft"/>
<after name="Accrue Weight"/>
<after name="Calc EncThr"/><![CDATA[
~get our limit from the encumbrance threshold resource
var limit as number
limit = #resmax[resEncThr]

~calculate how much we've exceeded beyond the encumbrance threshold details
var excess as number
excess = 0
if (field[resSpent].value >= limit) then
excess += field[resSpent].value - limit
endif

~set our maximum appropriately for encumbrance reporting
field[resMax].value = excess - limit
]]></eval>

</thing>

<!-- Encumbrance threshold resource to track the current encumbrance threshold
for the character.
NOTE! We use a resource for the encumbrance threshold in order to readily
include it into various tables for display to the user. However, we
don't ever accrue anything into the "resSpent" field - only the
"resMax" field.
