SetAttributeBaseValue - append attribute

[Havoc]

Hey there,

How can I make SetAttributeBaseValue append to a given attribute instead of a base value?
I.e, If I was trying to make a stone that would add 50 Strength to a character who already has 25 Strength to make 75 strength?

I realize I can do this with the SetAttributeTemporaryMod, but I need to have it applied to the base value.

Thanks in advance!

Wouldn't SetAttributeBaseValue(who, ATTRIBUTE, GetAttributeBaseValue(who, ATTRIBUTE) + Amount_to_increase)); work? Just remember that Amount_to_Increase is in tenths. So to increase by 50 whole points Amount_to_Increase would be set to 500.

[Havoc]

function HumanRaceSelect (character)
SetAttributeBaseValue(character, "strength", GetAttributeBaseValue(character, "strength") + 500));
//RecalcVitals(character);
//SendSysMessage(character, "You are now a Human. Go forth, and find your way, but be careful - not all dangers can be faced alone.");
return 1;
endfunction



Here's a snippet of the code I'm working with, as you can see it's fairly basic; ecompile gives me an error in the function, and it won't compile.

There is one bracket to much

Code: Select all

SetAttributeBaseValue(character, "strength", GetAttributeBaseValue(character, "strength") + 500);

That'll teach me to script while under the influence.
Sorry Havoc!

Thanks a ton! I honestly think I should have noticed that, but thanks for the help Pierce and Yukiko!

Under influence of what?

Thanks a ton! I honestly think I should have noticed that

Just from my own experience: If the ecompiler gives you a cryptic error, its 80 % of the time a bracket. One missing or one too much
The last 19 % is a semicolon missing. The rest is more specific

Something called Lone Star Beer.
It's an inexpensive brew they have here in Texas. Just think of it as the real Alamo Beer you see Hank Hill drinking on King of the Hill. I had way too many the otheright.

Oh and just because I'm feeling ornery, them thar things is called "parenthesis" not braces.
