Vitality

[Frodie]

Try to add wounds and Vitality to a house game. I got the wounds to work, but not Vitality.
Vitality is just a copy of Hit Points. I am trying a tracker with no luck:

field[trkMax].value += hero.child

What phase and priority are you running the script at? And what is the problem you are encountering?

If the problem is that the trkMax field = 0 then you probably need to move your script to later.

child[X] isn't enough - there has to be a reference to a specific thing on that child.

Also, be careful what you think is Hit Points. The "p" prefix means "in-Play" - the +/- HP adjustment. For something that affects the entire character, you're looking for the prefix "t" for "Totals"

 

[Frodie]

field[trkMax].value = hero.child[tHP]

I am getting:

Syntax error in 'eval' script for Thing 'trkVitalit' (Eval Script '#1') on line 1
-> Non-existent thing 'tHP' used by script

I have it a the final phase at a 10500, but I did move it around, but same error

Looking at the debug windows, 'tHP' is listed under the Hero Field, so I think you may need:

field[trkMax].value = hero.field[tHP].value

 

[Frodie]

Also tried
herofield[tHP].value = field[trkMax].value
and I don't get an error, but it doesn't seem to work either

 

[Frodie]

Got it, (may not be perfect, but works)

var ap as number
ap = 0 + (herofield[tHP].value)
ap = round(ap, 0, -1)

~ Add to our total charges.
field[trkMax].value += ap

BTW - This is what I used for Wounds, seems to work ok.

var sp as number
sp = hero.child[aCON].field[aFinalVal].value * 1
sp = round(sp, 0, -1)

~ Add to our total charges.
field[trkMax].value += sp

BTW - This is what I used for Wounds, seems to work ok.

var sp as number
sp = hero.child[aCON].field[aFinalVal].value * 1
sp = round(sp, 0, -1)

~ Add to our total charges.
field[trkMax].value += sp

Just as an FYI the above could be turned into the following:

~ Add to our total charges.
field[trkMax].value += round(hero.child[aCON].field[aFinalVal].value,0,-1)

As unless I am missing something that is exactly the same logic in one line as your 3 lines.

 

[Frodie]

Yea, I was thinking it could be shorter, but: if works, don't fix it, lol

 

[ShadowChemosh]

if works, don't fix it, lol

So very very true. Just thought it maybe helpful when doing future scripts or reading other ones is all.

Can the "wounds" (seems to the final CON Score) be displayed on the character sheet (somewhere)?

 

[Frodie]

Both are on the Tracker secton pg 2 if printed.

BTW - I attached the file with the new script and I did try to use the replaceID with tHP, but no luck. IDK if you can do that or not, but they do show up in the Trackers.

meanwhile i added my wounds as ability, using a gamemechanic that bootstraps the "wounds" ability. All fine not, except that the current value is set to 1 not to the maximum value (that is calculated fine). Hmm...minor issue.
I dont use a tracker currently, only a mechanic and the ability.
