Rpg skill increase script help 2.8

[Sircameron]

So this code doesnt work and i cant figure out how to do a skill increase in a script..

Code: Select all

r_set_skill $SKILL_DIPLOMACY (+ (r_get_skill $SKILL_DIPLOMACY) 1)

ive tried this and many other ways and still cant figure it out.. If anyone can show me what im doing wrong that'd be awesome thanks

    r_char_base_diplomacy (+ (r_char_base_diplomacy_get) 1)
]

"Unable to select reference ref type as char"
**Edit**

Code: Select all

r_select_char actor [ ]
