need help with xCount

[mbran01]

I am trying to create an ability that increases by +2 every time you recieve it. The first time works fine, but the second time is increasing the bonus to +6 instead of +4. The thrid and final time is supposed to increase to +6, but instead increases to +10. I can't seem to find the cause. Any help would be appreciated.

phase/priority post-levels/5000

      ~ If we're not shown, just get out now
      doneif (tagis[Helper.ShowSpec] = 0)

      ~calculate our bonus(it's stored as a variable in case an external thing wants to alter it)
      field[abValue].value += field[xCount].value * 2

        foreach pick in hero from BaseSkill
         if (eachpick.tagis[SkillOver.aCHA] + eachpick.linkage[skillattr].tagis[thingid.aCHA] <> 0) then
         eachpick.field[Bonus].value += field[abValue].value
         endif
        nexteach

      field[livename].text = field[thingname].text & " +" & field[abValue].value
      field[abSumm].text = "+" & field[abValue].value & " to all charisma based skills and checks."

Looks like you forgot:

~only run the rest for the first copy
doneif (tagis[Helper.FirstCopy] = 0)

This makes it so the ability only runs once. Instead your script when added three times will actually RUN 3 times. So first time will add +2, 2nd time adds +4, 3rd time adds +6 for a grand total of +12 getting added to each skill.

Hope that makes sense...
