You need "perform" before "tagcount"

 

[Brolthemighty]

I can't believe I missed that!

 

[ShadowChemosh]

Hmmm perform? Really?

Here is how I think the finished script should look:

~ If we're not shown, just get out now
doneif (tagis[Helper.ShowSpec] = 0)
~ Count the number of Ranger levels
field[abValue].value += hero.tagcount[Classes.Ranger]
~ Give this as a bonus to the Animal Companion
hero.childfound[cAnimComp].minion.child[cAnimDevo].field.value += field[abValue].value

Your first part "tagcount[Classes.Ranger]=field[abValue].value" was backwards and was missing the 'Hero.' part. You want to count the classes.ranger tags on the "HERO" and put that total into "abValue". What you had was just the opposite which won't work.

Then to allow outside Things to change the abValue you always want to do a "+=" to not a "=" which will override the value.

Thanks to both of you! This info will help not only with this one, but a number of feats/talents I'm working on.

Shadow, it's not looking like that script you worked up works. I'm getting an error:

Hero Lab was forced to stop compilation after the following errors were detected:

Syntax error in 'eval' script for Thing 'fKQIncrDev' (Eval Script '#1') on line 6
-> Invalid use of a reserved word in script

I'll try troubleshooting.

hero.childfound[cAnimComp].minion.child[cAnimDevo].field.value += field[abValue].value

Do you notice where there are brackets missing?

 

[Brolthemighty]

I'm sorry...I don't...

 

[Aaron]

What field do you want to add abValue to?

 

[ShadowChemosh]

What field do you want to add abValue to?

Thanks. I copy/pasted the other day and didn't notice myself that the Field was missing. Copy/Paste is not always your friend.

 

[Brolthemighty]

I'm not seeing the missing bracket. cAnimdevo has brackets, which is what we're adding the value to. Maybe it's cause I just woke up...

 

[Aaron]

You need to specify the field in brackets after your field transition. cAnimdevo isn't what you're adding abValue to, you have to transition to one of the many fields on that pick.

.field.value

Can't be interpreted by the system, you need to specify the field id in brackets before the value transition. For example:

.field[abWHATEVER].value
