Reducing a stat, but not below a value

[Illyahr]

Working on a template that reduces some stats, but not below 3. I think I have the right code, but it isn't working.

var intval as number
intval = minimum(hero.child[aINT].field[aNormal].value-3,6)
hero.child[aINT].field[aNormal].value -= intval

It should check what attribute-3 is and apply either that (making the score 3) or 6 as a penalty to the attribute. What am I doing wrong?

Hard to say without knowing your results or doing some testing. I might suggest a different approach, though. Something like this, perhaps:

var intval as number
intval = hero.child[aINT].field[aNormal].value-6
hero.child[aINT].field[aNormal].value = maximum(intval,3)

I'll give it a try

Ok, what I have is:

Phase=Preattributes, Priority=10000
var intval as number

intval = hero.child[aINT].field[aNormal].value-3
intval = minimum(intval,6)

hero.child[aINT].field[aNormMod].value -= intval

At this timing, it calculates Int as 0 and, consequently, comes back with -3. It then subtracts -3 from your score, adding 3. I've tried playing around with timing, but if I try it after the Pre-attributes phase, the code doesn't add or subtract anything. I'm at a loss here.

Quick pointers, i hope they help

If Phase is Pre-Attributes, attributes have not yet been determined, so you cannot manipulate them. Timing should be later (Post attributes?)

minimum(interval,6) would return the lowest value between int-3 and 6, which doesn't sound like what you're gunning for here. Use maximum (int-3,3) instead

It actually is. I was trying to find whichever was lower, int-3 or 6, and applying that as a modifier to the final score

Sorry, stayed stuck on the initial "reduces some stats, but not below 3" request.
