Increase Activation Name txt

[Frodie]

Can the actName field be increased for longer txt?

This just part of the script. The script works fine, but the txt is cut off.

if (x = 0) then
field[actName].text = "01-05-The spell targets you, or if an area of effect, it centers on you. If it cannot target you or center on you, the spell simply fails "
done
endif

Why would you need such a long text? It's going to run off the right side of the in-play tab if it's that long, even if the field's length were increased.

This seems to work:

~ If we're not enabled, get out now
doneif (field[abilActive].value = 0)

var x as number

x = random(20)

if (x = 0) then
field[actName].text = "01-05"
field[CustDesc].text = "The spell targets you, or if an area of effect, it centers on you. If it cannot target you or center on you, the spell simply fails "
done
endif

Frodie, a test for you to run:
Change something about the character (like add and remove a space from the name). Then, look at the result listed for this ability - it's changed, hasn't it?

The random() call in your script will generate a new random number every time something changes on the character.

Yep, I want the random that way. It's for a wild surge, so it's a temp kind of thing. You just activate it and see what the surge is and then you un-activate it to go back to normal.

It's a home-brew Wild Spellcaster, I still have to put in spells, archetypes, items, but the class, the wild surge, and level adjustment seem to work. I attached it if anyone wants to check it out.
