Extensions and Database nodes
I'm having a doosy of a time trying to figure out how the extension database works.
I can't seem to get 'getDatabaseNode()' to ever return anything other than a nil value. The extension guide says "Value nodes are created automatically when a window containing value field controls is opened. They can also be created using the scripting interface. Each value node has a specific type."
I assume this means that databasenodes are tied to the window whenever a window with certain controls are rendered. It doesn't seem to be working for me and I've no idea what I'm doing wrong.
For reference, here's the entirety of a settings windowclass for an extension I'm writing. The onInit method prints 'nil' for getDatabaseNode();
Code:<windowclass name="combat_timer_settings"> <margins control="0,0,0,0" /> <frame name="groupbox" offset="15,15,20,15" /> <placement> <size width="275" height="300" /> <nosave /> </placement> <datasource>.settings</datasource> <script> function onInit() Debug.console("onInit - combat_timer_settings", getDatabaseNode()); end function onClose() Debug.console("onClose - combat_timer_settings"); end </script> <sheetdata> <settings_title name="title" /> <anchor_timer_settings name="contentanchor" /> <label name="label_timer_type"> <anchored to="contentanchor" height="20"> <top anchor="bottom" relation="relative" offset="10" /> <left offset="0" /> <right offset="-80" /> </anchored> <static text="Timer Type" /> </label> <button_stringcycler name="timer_type"> <anchored> <top parent="label_timer_type" offset="0" /> <bottom parent="label_timer_type" offset="0" /> <left parent="label_timer_type" anchor="right" offset="0" /> <right parent="contentanchor" offset="0" /> </anchored> </button_stringcycler> <label name="label_timer_start"> <anchored to="contentanchor" height="20"> <top parent="label_timer_type" anchor="bottom" relation="relative" offset="10" /> <left offset="0" /> <right offset="-80" /> </anchored> <static text="Initial Timer Value" /> </label> <numbercontrol name="timer_start"> <frame name="tokennumber" offset="0,0,0,0" /> <anchored width="30"> <top parent="label_timer_start" offset="0" /> <bottom parent="label_timer_start" offset="0" /> <left parent="label_timer_start" anchor="right" offset="0" /> </anchored> <default>60</default> <min>0</min> <max>5999</max> </numbercontrol> <label name="label_report_times"> <anchored to="contentanchor" height="20"> <top parent="label_timer_start" anchor="bottom" relation="relative" offset="10" /> <left offset="0" /> <right offset="-80" /> </anchored> <static text="Summarize Turns" /> </label> <button_checkbox name="report_player_times"> <anchored to="contentanchor" width="10"> <top parent="label_report_times" offset="0" /> <bottom parent="label_report_times" offset="0" /> <left parent="label_report_times" anchor="right" offset="0" /> </anchored> </button_checkbox> <close_timer_settings /> </sheetdata> <invisible /> </windowclass>

Hey Ken L I would grab that code above and look for its final version in mortgarras Combat Timer extension.
The database will accept pretty much anything you tell it...
