Where and how to count class levels?

[DeltaMasterMind]

Ok so I am trying to come up with different methods to accurately have HeroLab count levels for a value. I am not sure if #levelcount[CLASS] can even be used in Eval Script for extracting a value to insert to the abValue within Class Specials. I have also tried:

perform hero.childfound[cSAssassin].setfocus
doneif (state.isfocus = 0)
field[abValue].value = focus.field[cIndex].value

and

perform hero.childfound[cSAssassin].setfocus
doneif (state.isfocus = 0)
field[abValue].value = hero.childcount[cBonusHD]

but I seem to have issues with finding the right timing to even make them work let alone count the right value. I usually get just a value of 1 even when I have 10 levels of specific class loaded up. I have been searching the forum a few days now trying to find specific code, sadly I have come up short. Any suggestions?

Within the editor, go to the Help menu...Help On Using the Editor.

Then go to Tutorial 7 (Creating the Alchemist Class), and within that tutorial, read the "Class Specials Part 1: Alchemy and Bonus Feats" section. That includes an example with the answer to what you're asking here.
