Scripted Alignment change

[risner]

I'm trying to reduce the alignment on the Evil/Good axis:
~ reduce alignment one step on evil alignment
hero.child[Totals].field[tGoodVEvil].value -= 3


But I get an error:
Only Derived Fields can generally be modified via scripts (field tGoodVEvil)

Does anyone know how to script an alignment change? Especially a method that will work with or without Ultimate Campaign

I'm pretty sure Alignment changes cannot be scripted, you just have to change them yourself.

I think its something new they just added for Ultimate Campaign actually as I don't recall a Good vs Evil total value.

@risner usually a Derived field is one that can't be changed or not expected to be changed by a script. If I get time I will take a look later this weekend but I have not otherwise worked with that field before. Not even 100% sure what its suppose to be storing/showing.

Could you bootstrap the required alignment via the script? Using an if then statement? If we're LE Alignment then ...... do stuff and bootstrap NE Alignment instead.

I don't know if that would prevent user alteration or not but it might be a solution.

Is alignment bootrapped?

Don't know, but it's crazy enough to just work.

Use a prerequisite to require the user to change the alignment. You can't change alignments with a script.

Interesting, do you know a thing that I can use as an Example?

Paladin class enforces an alignment.
