# Add a new Status Attributes (Stat Bonus)
Files used: E\_ItemStatBonus, S\_Stats, BPC\_RPGSystem
## 1.) Modify the ItemStatBonus data table
Open the **E\_ItemStatBonus** and add a new entry called by your new stat.
1. Open the **S\_Stats** and add a new variable
1. Choose the correct Data Type, you can even create a new structure and add more variables if needed, you're not forced to use a float (The Life leech stat bonus is using a structure as an example)
2. Open the **BPC\_RPGSystem** and find the ‘**StatTemplate**’ function.
3. Duplicate it, name it correctly and open it.
4. First of all, we need to change the enum of the ‘**GetStatBonus**’ node to our new one and in the ‘**Set Member in S\_Stats**’.
5.
```
```
6. This will set the **MyNewStat** base on all Stat bonuses of your own stat.
7. Open the ‘**CalcStatusStats**’ function, and go to the switch based on the **E\_ItemStatBonus**.
8. Depending on how you want to use **MyNewStat** you need to place the function in a different case on the switch. (***Take a look at the Vitality case***)
9. Open the ‘**GetStat**’ function and add a return node for your ‘**MyNewStat**’ Bonus.\
\
\&#xNAN;***(In this case, it’s a percent-only value, take a look into the other stats with Integer and Float values)***\
10. **Congratulations**! You added your first own Stat bonus.
11. Now to get your new Stat visible in the Status Info UI you have to open the ‘**BPL\_RPGSystem**’.\
Go to the ‘**GetSettings**’ function and select the ‘**DefaultSettings**’ local variable.
12. Add your stat to the ‘StatBonusCategories’ list to make it visible. You may want to add it also to the other lists.
8. **Done**!
