Representing te Skill Chips in GCA

Gary.Townsend · 05-27-2013, 10:03 PM

is there a way to make skills cost money in the GCA or should i just make some custom items with the cost figured in? But then how do i represent the 0 cost for the skills?

Or even more simply is there a way to do this already built in to GCA, i see the Chip Sots advantage.

You can make equipment give bonuses to various things, but I can't remember if points to specific skills or advantages is one of them.

BTW, this probably belongs in the GCA forum where the programmers and other such experts lurk ;-).

Yes, you can have equipment items grant points to a skill. That's pretty much just a matter of adding something like gives(+4pts to SK:SKill) to the item. (You can also have the equipment item use needs() to ensure the character has the skill in question listed on the sheet.)

I don't know off hand if any such skill chips are already available in the program, though.
