Disassociating Perception and Will from IQ

[Kesendeja]

When I make the changes to do this in the editor and save them it almost works.

The problem I'm running into is that the "step" slot keeps resetting itself to blank instead of 1.

I've tried resynching and it doesn't help. I'm at my wits end right now and could use some advice.

There's currently a bug in GCA4 where it doesn't save the step() tag when writing the custom trait to the data file.

You'll have to add that to your saved definition in the data file manually.

[Kesendeja]

Not to be a bother, how would I do that?

[Armin]

Open your custom data file in a plain text editor, such as Notepad.

Go to the appropriate line, and add a step(1) tag. I've done that in the bits below, in addition to deleting some extraneous tags, so you can copy-n-paste them over your existing entries:

[Attributes]
Will,basevalue(10),maxscore(@max(20, 10)),minscore(@max(0, 10 - 4)),up(5),down(-5),mainwin(6),disadat(-1),step(1)

Perception,basevalue(10),maxscore(1000000),minscore(0 - me::syslevels),up(10),down(-10),symbol(Per),mainwin(7),disadat(-1),step(1)

Also, your maxscore() and minscore() for Will make no sense: you're using a formula in each with a fixed outcome, so that they evaluate to the same as maxscore(20) and minscore(6).

Thank you, it works perfectly now.

You're welcome!
