Thanks for the reply, Pacman.
So the 'base variable' in these examples are the variables which store the stat for the first actor?
In example 1, you are saying, start at variable 14 (actor 1's variable), and add to the array "a" the variable for all actors in the party.
Then, in the second part, you iterate through them, adding to '2' to all of them.
I'll try it and post results.
