so I am trying to increase my character (kenryku) fire stat. it compiles the script, I have it set to run after a text box, the text box comes up but the stat never increases. Here is my script

plotscript, NinLevelFire, Begin
variable (who)
who := find hero (hero:Kenryoku)
variable (oldstat)
oldstat := get hero stat (hero:kenryoku, stat:Fire, current stat)
set hero stat (hero:kenryoku, stat:Fire, oldstat + 5, current stat)
end

I tried also replacing current stat with maximum and base, and none of these show a change in the stats in the status menu.

The bug in your script is that you twice wrote "hero:kenryoku" instead of "who".

Also, you should usually use 'base stat' for permanent changes.

Bob I go my information from there in the first place, before I asked it here. An thanks TMC, for correcting my script but there still hasn't been any changes in its behavior, I also raised the max stat by the same amount before I raised the base and still nothing, it's acting like the script isn't running

Oh, my mistake. What I said was wrong, and so is that article (partially). I have been meaning to clean up that article actually.

Unfortunately for historical reasons HP and MP act differently to the other stats, and it's a huge pain. The status menu displays the current value of each stat. You want to modify both the current value and the maximum or base value (max and base are tied together so you should only change one of them).

One correct way to increase a stat is like this:
