Script Help- SPECIAL-based skill advancement

So I wrote up this script for my idea to make skill advancement rate dependent on SPECIAL attributes. The idea is that in the level up screen you put however many points into a skill... then the actual amount that the skill goes up is modified by the governing attribute. Example; Charisma 10, put 1 point into Barter, Barter goes up by 3. Charisma 1, put 1 point into Barter, Barter goes up by 0.30.

 

When I go through the script by eye, it seems like it should do what I want it to do. The problem is, it doesn't actually do that in-game. I tried it out using AdvancePCLevel.

 

My character had 10 Charisma, 9 Endurance, 10 Intelligence. 36 Barter, 42 Big Guns, 48 Medicine. There were no + or - effects on any of those attributes or skills at the time, which is why I focused on them ( the script uses permav anyways, so it wouldn't effect the numbers, it was just visually easier to look at numbers that weren't being affected by anything )

 

I put 3 points into Barter, 6 points into Big Guns, and 5 points into Medicine.

Barter became 78 - increase of 42 points, the expected increase was 9

Big Guns became 98 - increase of 56 points, the expected increase was 16

Medicine became 100 - increase of at least 52, expected increase was 15

 

I quit out of the game without saving, then went back in to do another test.

 

This time I only put 1 point into Barter, which increased Barter to 72.

Advanced level a second time, 1 more point into Barter, Barter became 73 ( which means in addition to the numbers being inflated the first time, there's also the problem that the script only fires once then has no further effect on subsequent level ups ).

 

Here's the script, any insight into why it's going goofy would be appreciated. It is attached to a Quest with Priority 1, and Delay of 5.

well could be rounding problem

fose have two functions ceil and floor to help on that

you could do a quest script that runs when you are on menumode to not add lag during the game

 

 

other idea

there are mods that make the skill limit be 1000 instead of 100

so when get on skill window

fakebarter * 10

 

then add 3 points for each point add if level 1 special

and 30 if level 10 special

 

when close the window

fakebarter / 10

No idea if that'll do anything noticably different. It might be worth trying to narrow down the error by making a simpler version that just adds a fixed number to a particular skill each level up, or print up a message each level up, and check what happens. or maybe just add a message to this script saying something like SKILL changed from NUMBER to NUMBER.
