Ok, ok,

in your debug you get

s'rRoll: ' | { s'nBonuses' = s'0', s'aDice' = { #1 = { s'value' = #87, s'type' = s'd100', s'result' = #87 }, s'expr' = s'd100' }, s'nMod' = #-20, s'sType' = s'wpn1_a_emlRollAction', s'bSecret' = bFALSE, s'SkillScore' = s'65', s'sDesc' = s'Attack EML Test Result For ML 80 - 15 PP [-20]' }

whenever data is being sent in these arrays it is converted to a string so that is one potential issue

but then I see this and I am confused

local sModDesc, nMod = ModifierStack.getStack(true);

this command gets the Modifier stack descriptions and modifiers and saves them into sModDesc and nMod

but it looks like (from your rRoll) that you are already sending that in your roll - most likely in your RW properties where you have set Use Modifier Stack and Reset Modifier Stack to True
so there wont be anything in the modifier stack for your manual command to retrieve.

To get the Modifier data into your result change

if nResult > nSkillScore then

to

nResult = nResult + tonumber(rRoll.nMod);
if nResult > nSkillScore then

this is retrieving the nMod from the rRoll (rRoll.nMod) and converting the string value to a number tonumber() and then adding it to nResult nResult = nResult + tonumber(rRoll.nMod)

That is probably the fix for you right now...

oh and get rid of the modifierstack line

Works great! How do I get it to stop at 1? For example, in one test with a -20 modifier, it returned -8 on a roll of 12. I would have that thought this parameter would have been inherent to rRoll, but perhaps I've tweaked it enough in this script to disable most of the built in stuff? This is what I ended up with:

function Skill(rSource, rTarget, rRoll)
Debug.chat("rRoll: ", rRoll);


local nSkillScore = tonumber(rRoll.SkillScore);
Debug.chat("nSkillScore: ", nSkillScore);

local nResult = rRoll.aDice[1].result;
Debug.chat("nResult: ", nResult);

local sResult = '';

nResult = nResult + tonumber(rRoll.nMod);
if nResult > nSkillScore then

if nResult % 5 == 0 then
sResult = ' (' .. nResult .. " vs EML " .. nSkillScore .. ") = Critical Failure ";
else
sResult = ' (' .. nResult .. " vs EML " .. nSkillScore .. ") = Marginal Failure ";
end
else
if nResult % 5 == 0 then
sResult = ' (' .. nResult .. " vs EML " .. nSkillScore .. ") = Critical Success ";
else
sResult = ' (' .. nResult .. " vs EML " .. nSkillScore .. ") = Marginal Success ";
end
end

local rMessage = ActionsManager.createActionMessage(rSource, rRoll);

rMessage.text = rMessage.text .. sResult;
Comm.deliverChatMessage(rMessage);

return true
end

Change this:

nResult = nResult + tonumber(rRoll.nMod);
if nResult > nSkillScore then

to this:

nResult = nResult + tonumber(rRoll.nMod);
if nResult > 1 then nResult = 1; end
if nResult > nSkillScore then

Thanks for your help! I'll leave you alone for a couple days. ;-)

So here is an excerpt from the managerChar script:

local nbknees = 0;
local neknees = 0;
local npknees = 0;
local nfknees = 0;

local nbcalves = 0;
local necalves = 0;
local npcalves = 0;
local nfcalves = 0;

local nbfeet = 0;
local nefeet = 0;
local npfeet = 0;
local nffeet = 0;


for k,v in pairs (nodeChar.getChild("inventorylist").getChildren())
do if v.getChild("carried").getValue() == 1 then

nbskull = nbskull+v.getChild("bskull").getValue()
neskull = neskull+v.getChild("eskull").getValue()
npskull = npskull+v.getChild("pskull").getValue()
nfskull = nfskull+v.getChild("fskull").getValue()

nbface = nbface+v.getChild("bface").getValue()
neface = neface+v.getChild("eface").getValue()
npface = npface+v.getChild("pface").getValue()
nfface = nfface+v.getChild("fface").getValue()

nbneck = nbneck+v.getChild("bneck").getValue()
neneck = neneck+v.getChild("eneck").getValue()
npneck = npneck+v.getChild("pneck").getValue()
nfneck = nfneck+v.getChild("fneck").getValue()

Whenever I add a piece of armor that hits a blank entry I get this error:

[1/8/2022 7:27:33 AM] [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "campaign/Scripts/managerChar.lua"]:99: attempt to index a nil value

Line 99 is "nbskull = nbskull+v.getChild("bskull").getValue()"

Normally I would replace "nbskull = nbskull+v.getChild("bskull").getValue()" with "DB.setValue(nodeWin, "bskull", "number", bskull);" and that would solve the "nil value" problem. But I dont know how to do that with the +v.getChild math string.

Do I need to set the default value for each box at "0" in RW or in the script? Or is there another way to get around the error?

[damned]

try
nbskull = nbskull+DB.getValue(v, "bskull", "number", 0);

Does that work?
Please also confirm that nbskull already exists before ln99 and you know that equipped is carried == 2 right?

OK, so I have everything working now. CS is done (though I am loath to say that, as I am sure I am jinxing myself, we'll find out TUE night). Screens of major changes:
