Creating a formula for Armor Familiarity

[ratsta]

I'd like to create a formula for the Armor Familiarity perk. The perk negates -1 in encumbrance penalties (optionally per level of the perk) for the selected unarmed combat or fencing skills (must specialise).

I wrote the following but it's not working. I'm sure I've got syntax errors. Would someone pass a more experienced eye over this and advise?

@if(char::enclevel) >0 then @gives(+1 to "SK:Smallsword::parryat")

I'd also like to make a generic version that picks up the skill from the name extension if that's possible.

Spent some more time searching the archives and looking at examples in other advantages. This works:

Add this to Gives in the Perk

=@if(char::enclevel>0 then +1) to "SK:Smallsword::parryat"

My Smallsword parry now shows as unmodifed when I'm at -1 enc. and parry-1 when I'm at -2 enc. Happy days.

IMPORTANT: After you edit formulae, be sure to hit F5 to recalc!

For those searching conditionals and if statements, it appears the correct syntax is:

@if((condition) then valueA else valueB) to target

e.g.

@if((true) then 1 else 2) to SK:Broadsword

should add +1 to broadsword skill.

@if((false) then 1 else 2) to SK:Broadsword

should add +2.

I'm glad you got it working.

For the record, I have documentation to help with syntax and such for doing such things here: GCA Data File Reference Guide

Yes, it's focused on data files, but the coverage of the tags and how to write gives() and math functions and such is invaluable for people who are tinkering with writing their own formulas and customizing traits.
