Linguist Error

Following my most recent update, the Linguist Edge is giving me trouble. When I select the edge, the Skills tab includes a section to add the appropriate number of languages. When I move to add the final language, however, it doesn't provide me the option and all of the languages section simply disappears. I am unable to find a way to retrieve it. Even removing and re-adding the linguist edge changes nothing. Meanwhile, the tab includes a warning at the bottom that reads "language must be specified."

Anybody have any ideas? Am I missing something?
 
Wow, a question I can answer!!:D
I had the EXACT same problem when I added that edge to my Space 1889 script.
Without seeing your code I can't say why it's happening to you, but here is the code I used to fix the problem (thanks Zarlor).

This goes in the edges eval script at Final/2000
Code: 
#resmax[resLang] += #trait[attrSma]
      #resleft[resLang] += #trait[attrSma]

And don't forget the prereq
Code: 
#trait[attrSma] >= 3

It's the Linguist edge that's in the savage worlds files - Just tested it myself and it does what orrynemrys says it does. It's kind of a bug I think. I say kind of, because if you have the multiple languages checked it works. If you do not have it checked in the configure your hero, the Linguist edge does not work right. So it seems to be a bug.
 
Hmmm strange,
That code works fine for me.
I wonder if the fact that I hard-coded the multiple languages into my file is the reason...

If you're opening a portfolio using your Space 1889 source checked then yes, I'm assuming you did a Preclude of the standard Linguist Edge in that file and that it's your version of it you are now using. You might try it without your source checked, but if it still works it could mean that you didn't set the source on your Linguist Edge (although presumably you would see 2 of that Edge you could select from in that case, the main one and your version.)
 
Well... for now, it looks like I can address the issue by simply selecting the Multiple Languages rule, so I will. Thanks!
