Looking for a little scripting help...

I need to count the number of points in a roster from units carrying a specific tag in order to run a validation script, and cant figure out how to make it run. The sample script follows, but I suspect that my problem is that I'm misunderstanding exactly what sort of data is returned by the tagvalue[ ] function. The documentation isn't really clear on what the 'value' is that is returned, and weather matching multiple instances of a tag in this way accumulates the values, or just returns the value for one instance of the tag. If anyone can fill me in on the details, and/or help me back onto the right track, that'd be great. Here's the script:

var quarter as number
quarter = this.roster.activesize / 4

if (tagcount[CharStuff.Ikit] > 0) then
  if (tagvalue[SkavStuff.ClanSkryre] >= quarter) then
    @valid = 1
  else
    @valid = 0
  endif
else
  @valid = 1
endif

try using a statcalc to add up the points in the roster and then use the results of that in the rule. Something similar to:

(statcalc)

id - (suggested) clanSkyrePnt
scope - unit
test expression - SkavStuff.ClanSkryre (am assuming that units with this tag are what you want to count)
tally expression - @value = @value + cost[total]

(rule)

var quarter as number
quarter = this.roster.activesize / 4

if (tagcount[CharStuff.Ikit] < 1) then

@valid = 1
done
endif

if (statcalc[clanSkyrePnt] >= quarter) then

@valid = 1
endif

Thanks for the assist, I'd never used the statcalc feature before. That worked like a charm.
