valuemap ranges?

[Azrael Nightstar]

Hey all, I'm wondering if there's a way to use a range, rather than an integer value, in a valuemap. By way of example, the attribute might look like this:

<source name="muscle_excep" op="+" valuemap="0:0, 1-50:1, 51-75:2, 76-90:3, 91-99:4, 100:" />

What I'm trying to do, for reference's sake, is create modifiers based on 2nd edition exceptional strength values, which run from 1-100, but there are only a few modifiers from 1-100, so many of them share the same modifier.

Doing it with a valuemap with all the values 0-100 and the result for each seems like a pain, and trying to do it arithmetically might work, but might be a pain to figure out.

Thus, a range setup seems like the perfect way of handling it. If anyone has other ideas on it though I'd certainly welcome those as well.

Here is the code from the ruleset I made:

			<numbercontrol name="strength">
				<bounds rect="8,100,34,23" />
				<nodrag />
				<nodrop />
				<noreset />
				<description text="Strength" />
				<limits minimum="3" maximum="25" />
				<source name="race" op="+" valuemap="0:0,1:0,2:0,3:0,4:0,5:-1,6:+1,7:0,8:0,9:0,10:+1,11:+2,12:0,13:0,14:0" />
				<tabtarget next="strengthpercent" prev="alignment" />
			</numbercontrol>
			
			<numbercontrol name="strengthpercent">
				<bounds rect="43,100,34,23" />
				<nodrag />
				<nodrop />
				<noreset />
				<description text="Strength Percentage" />
				<limits minimum="0" maximum="100" />
				<hideonvalue value="0" />
				<tabtarget next="intelligence" prev="strength" />
			</numbercontrol>

			<numbercontrol name="strengthpercent-yn">

Let me know if you have any problems with it.

That's pretty much what I ended up doing, only I created an invisible "helper" control, valuemapped 1-100, and sorted that into "classes". Basically since 18/01 to 18/50 all had the same value I set them to map to "1", the next set to 2, etc. Then for the modifiers themselves I just mapped the "class" values, so that 18/01 to 18/50 added 150 lbs of max press, for example, by using 1:150 in the modifier's map.

I guess there's no neater way of doing this until 1.06 but the workaround isn't bad.

Thanks for the help cantstanzya, but I'd already done my workaround, was just hoping for a neater way to satisfy my perfectionism. Oh well. By the way, the ocean called; they're running out of shrimp.

LOL, that's classic
