Trying to recreate +2 to One Ability Score section in another system

B

Well-known member
in the Pathfinder game-system, there is a section that deals with the "+2 to One Ability Score" bonus on the Background tab that deals with the Human race selection. I'm trying to reproduce something similar for an entirely different system (Iron Kingdoms) where humans can add +1 to certain stats at creation.

I've gone round and round and can't seem to make headway with this one. I've discovered how to place a menu_literal portal that appears when you select Human as your race, but I can't seem to make it do anything on drop-down selection. Can anyone give any suggestions on how to implement this? Or where I can look for inspiration?
 
In Pathfinder, that uses a menu_things, rather than a menu_literal.

Why re-invent the wheel here - take a look at the UserSelect component in components.core, and the UserSelect template, in visual.dat.
 
Okay, I feel like I'm more on the right path. But I've missed something. This is what my Race section now looks like when I pick Human

Do you want the user to make that selection on the race itself, or do you want to add an ability - bootstrapped from the race, and have that ability offer the selection to the user?

Currently, it looks as thought you've got it on the race itself.
 
Here's the rule I'm trying to recreate:

The Human race is allowed to boost one of the following attributes at character creation by 1 - physical, agility, or intellect. There are six other attributes not a part of this possibility.

I though I'd need to add the UserSelect components to the Race. That seems... Not right from my results.

I hope that's clearer. I feel like I'm doing a terrible job of explaining my goal.
 
Thanks for that link. I've scrapped my plans of trying to modify the sample system to Iron Kingdoms and I'm instead starting from a skeleton and building the system up following along with the Savage World walkthrough. This seems a much better approach.
