Need Help with eval script: Increasing size with a class ability.

[Demontank]

Been trying to learn how to use the Eval scripting a bit more effectively over the past few days and have been setting certain tasks for myself to slowly build up a foundation on how the functions and tags interact. I have reached a bit of a roadblock in using references and tutorials when I tried to make a class ability that increases the users size when the ability is activated. Anyone have advice or a method that works?

There is a size adjustment that calls the 5CSizeChg procedure. As written, that procedure will increase the size based on user input. I had to create an ability that once chosen would increase the size of a minion by 1 size category, and I was able to slightly modify that procedure code to do what I wanted. I've pasted my slightly modified code below, you would need to change the target from minion[Familiar] to the hero, but it should put you in the right area.

It's running for me at First (20000).

~ Sizemod is the +/- change to apply to the hero's size.
    var sizemod as number
    var iX as number

    sizemod = 1

    ~ Add to size - must come after race and template size set
    minion[Familiar].herofield[tSize].value += sizemod

    ~ Make sure the user didn't try to adjust size greater than Gargantuan (+3), or
    ~ smaller than Tiny (-2)

    minion[Familiar].herofield[tSize].value = maximum(minion[Familiar].herofield[tSize].value, -2)
    minion[Familiar].herofield[tSize].value = minimum(minion[Familiar].herofield[tSize].value, 3)

    ~ Set pointer to our base race    
    perform minion[Familiar].findchild[BaseRace].setfocus
    doneif (state.isfocus = 0)
  
    ~ Based on the races final size reset the hit dice size
  
    ~ Tiny
    If (minion[Familiar].herofield[tSize].value = -2) then
      focus.field[rHDSides].value = 4
    ~ Small
    ElseIf (minion[Familiar].herofield[tSize].value = -1) then
      focus.field[rHDSides].value = 6
    ~ Medium
    ElseIf (minion[Familiar].herofield[tSize].value = 0) then
      focus.field[rHDSides].value = 8
    ~ Large
    ElseIf (minion[Familiar].herofield[tSize].value = 1) then
      focus.field[rHDSides].value = 10
    ~ Huge
    ElseIf (minion[Familiar].herofield[tSize].value = 2) then
      focus.field[rHDSides].value = 12
    ~ Gargantuan
    ElseIf (minion[Familiar].herofield[tSize].value = 3) then
      focus.field[rHDSides].value = 20
    Endif

Thanks, been busy with work so i haven't had the chance to modify and test it yet, but i already see some of the things i did wrong. Most blatantly I was trying to target the completely wrong fields and tags for size.
