get half a class level with minimum of 1

[psych777]

so i'm trying to get half the level of my class with min value of 1. i've got a script that i copied from somewhere and trying to use with some edits. oh, this is on a class special if that has something to do with it.
trying to use the levelcount macro to get the starting number, but it doesn't seem to want to divide in half. its getting the correct number of levels, just not dividing it.

field[abValue].value += maximum(round(#levelcount[Dread]/2,0,-1),1)

found that this below will halve it correctly, just wondering why the single line above doesn't work.

field[abValue2].value = #levelcount[Dread]
field[abValue].value += maximum(round(field[abValue2].value/2,0,-1),1)

If you are on a class special you don't want to hard-code the class. What if we re-use this ability on a different class? Instead simply use the field already on the Class Special do to the math:

Post-Levels/10000

~ Calculate half character level minimum 1
field[abValue].value += maximum(round(field[xTotalLev].value/2,0,-1),1)

If this is something for Uses Per day you can just set Tags on the Class Ability instead and not even need a script. This is found in the "Charge Information" section right under "Show in Tracked Resources List?".

nice, that worked as well.

not for uses per day. its to get a insight bonus to a skill.

What if there was a way get abValues by assigning tags like that *whistles innocently*

Perhaps after GenCon. No promises though.

I have some code you might be interested in. I've been practicing system modification ...
