timing help for morale bonus/penalty

[psych777]

i have a trait that gives a morale bonus to some items (str, con, will save) and a morale penalty to AC.
i've tried running it at both pre-attributes and post-attributes 10000. it seems to apply things slightly differently at each for the bonus'....and the penalty never shows up.
getting too hard to think straight as i keep dozing at the keyboard, so hoping for some quick help from those more familiar with these items... trying to execute these:

#applybonus[BonMorale,hero.childfound[aSTR],2]
#applybonus[BonMorale,hero.childfound[aCON],2]
#applybonus[BonMorale,hero.childfound[svWill],1]
#applypenalty[PenMorale,hero.childfound[ArmorClass],2]

wasn't sure if the penalty was supposed to be a -2 or 2, but since i can't get it to show in the developer window i couldn't see the result of having a negative or positive number there....

I never used applypenalty before as it doesn't make sense all penalties stack.

So try

hero.childfound[ArmorClass].field[PenMorale].value += -2

yeah i can do that for the penalty, was just trying to use the specialty line )

do you know what timing needs to be used to apply those bonus ones correctly?

 

[ShadowChemosh]

pre-attributes should work for both penalties and bonuses. I usually go earlier like post-levels or so.

If nothing is working then I would ask is that really the whole script?

i've another trait working just fine with post-attributes, but this one was giving odd results. but i changed it to post-levels and seems to be all working now. helps that i was awake to test it this time
thanks!
