The stat changes I make to a hero in my game using SetHeroStat seem to be over-written when I level-up or equip an item that changes stats. It reverts the stats back to their "base course" that the min and max determine I set in custom.exe, and then calculates the offset of the item or level, but not the changes with SetHeroStat. The exception is with "HP" and "MP" which work just fine.

I got over the problem of stats resetting when I level by using the "after-battle" event, but the problem is now when I make equipment changes.

Hero X has 15 STR, and 5 added through script to make it 20. When I equip a weapon that adds 3 STR, it calculates from base stat of 15, and + 3 to make it 18, when it should be 23 in the end.

Hero is how i'm altering stats...

Code:

setHeroStat(findHero(hero: hero), stat:str, getHeroStat(findHero(hero: hero), stat:str, currentStat) + 5, currentStat)


Is there a way to have SetHeroStat imbedded into the hero's stats? Possibly without using a +/- stat changing item for every case? lol

You should set both the current stat and the maximum stat.

Here is what you need to do:

Code:

setHeroStat(findHero(hero: hero), stat:str, getHeroStat(findHero(hero: hero), stat:str, currentStat) + 5, currentStat)
setHeroStat(findHero(hero: hero), stat:str, getHeroStat(findHero(hero: hero), stat:str, maximumStat) + 5, maximumStat)


if you want the changes to persist, you need to change both currentstat and maximumstat

...although I would probably write it like this myself:

Code:

script, increase stat, who, whichstat, amount, begin
  setHeroStat(who, whichstat, getHeroStat(who, whichstat, currentStat) + amount, currentStat)
  setHeroStat(who, whichstat, getHeroStat(who, whichstat, maximumStat) + amount, maximumStat)
end


and then you could use that as:

Code:

increase stat(find hero(hero:hero), stat:str, 5)
