I assume you want your "Sneak" skill to get all bonuses that would have
been applied to Hide and Move Silently?
You can do this by getting the total bonuses for those skills and then
adding them to the Sneak skill. In a script on the Sneak skill, you'd
need to do something like:
~ Get our total Hide skill bonus, NOT including our attribute bonus
var hidebonus as number
hidebonus = hero.child[kHide].field[kModValue].value -
hero.child[kHide].field[kAttrValue].value
~ Get our total Move Silently skill bonus, NOT including our
~ attribute bonus
var movebonus as number
movebonus = hero.child[kMoveSil].field[kModValue].value -
hero.child[kMoveSil].field[kAttrValue].value
~ Add our hide and move silently bonuses to this skill's bonus
field[kModValue].value += hidebonus + movebonus
I think you'd need to do this at a phase and priority of PostAttr /
10001 for this to work properly.
Hope this helps,
