The main problem I see is your code did the same as mine in not specifying a type. The append -6 didnt work but one problem at a time, why wont type() work here? Addendum, I think its inheriting the default.. The value wont go up if I increase Ritual Magic but once I raise Ritual Magic high enough I get a blue d next to the Affinity skill. I am really thinking that if the type issue can be resolved this will work. Possible clue. Relative level is -IQ and changes as I modify IQ. Level just sticks at 0 Not sure if thats helpful. If I look at the full edit window it shows IQ/H

Re: Making Pick lists
Would you please post your test file somewhere, and tell us what files you're loading, so that we can use the same base files and assumptions as you are?

Re: Making Pick lists
Okay, the problem is the upto(SK:Ritual Magic). Ritual Magic requires specializing, the upto(SK:Ritual Magic) doesn't specify a specialty, hence it breaks, limiting the skill to the determined level of 0.

Hmm so change upto(SK:Ritual Magic) to upto(SK:Ritual Magic (Lantern)) should work if thats the Ritual Magic specialty? Testing now with a clean skill Affinity (Magic), type(IQ/VH), default(SK:Ritual Magic (Lantern) - 6, SK:Symbol Drawing - 6, SK:Thaumatology - 6), needs(SK:Ritual Magic | SK:Symbol Drawing | SK:Thaumatology), upto(SK:Ritual Magic), page(00), cat(Affinity) Does not work but I think you have me in the right direction, I shall go through some datafiles to see about the right format to add the specialty. Thank you both Armin and Eric

Re: Making Pick lists
Should have, but apparently doesn't. I only get it to work if removing upto() entirely. Not sure what the deal is. (Or making it a number. Something odd.)

Re: Making Pick lists
Okay, yeah, it should work with "SK:Ritual Magic (Lantern)" if you include it in quotes. I also had to Recalculate Everything to get it to recalc and start working correctly after I edited things in GCA.

Re: Making Pick lists
Parens are math operators, so if you specify a name that includes them, you need to enclose in quotes or braces.

Re: Making Pick lists
I got it to work with the single skill. As you said I need quotes around the default and upto but that was no big deal.
Next Ill mess around with Inputreplace I think to see if I can make it user defined and still work. I have been closing GCA then restarting and removing then adding back the datafile to refresh my changes. It seems to cache the datafile upon loading so delete then add wasnt working. Your advising just recalculate after removing then adding the datafiles? You been a lot of help! Sorry I'm not getting the hang of this faster.
