Need help with changing the ability modifier on a skill

[Umarian]

I need some help with something I am working on. I have been trying to figure out how to code these, but cannot get it to do what I need.

I need to change the modifier on the climb skill to use Dex instead of Str. In order to prevent it from interfering with other adjustments in Herolab, I need to change the tag itself so that abilities that look for skills with Dex can find it. Problem is that I cannot find a tag for it on the hero or the child. I have tried looking at the feat Dervish Dance, but that gives the option of using Str or Dex which is not how this one reads.

Tried using:
Hero.child[skClimb].field[skAttrBon].value = hero.child[aDex].field[aModBonus].value

While it was changing the mod bonus, it was not changing the skill bonus. Also do not believe that would change the tag that abilities ShadowChemosh inputted look for.

Where are you trying to apply this script? Against a custom Skill?

Why not just build a new Skill called something like "Climb(Dex)" or something...
Then you can use whatever ability modifier you want.

Pretty sure its a Template that changes a Strength based skill to use Dex instead.

One thing to look at is the first few post in THIS thread actually as it talks about how to find the Attribute associated to a Skill and the "SkillOver.?" tag.

Oh yea check out THIS thread as I give an example to RavenX on exactly how to do this with a code example. It changes Intimidate from a Cha based skill to a Strength based skill.
