Error with iadd

[damned]

Hi team,

I have added a new campaign tool called CAS (Command Line Attributes and Skills) for MoreCore. It will allow you to have a library of drag n drop skills / attributes / rolls for use with systems being played on top of MoreCore. Im totally fudging my way thru here but I have the button, the window, the list of skills. I can right click in the window and add a new CAS entry but when I use the iadd button I get an error:

Script Error: [string "campaign/cas_button_new.lua"]:8: attempt to index a nil value

Attachment 14133

I took code from campaign_button_new.lua and template_campaign.xml.

iadd button xml

	<template name="button_iadd_cas">
		<button_iadd_campaign>
			<script file="campaign/cas_button_new.lua" />
		</button_iadd_campaign>
	</template>

cas_button_new.lua

function onButtonPress()
	if User.isHost() then
		local node = window.getDatabaseNode().createChild();
		if node then
			local w = Interface.openWindow(class[1], node.getNodeName());
			if w and w.name then
				w.name.setFocus();
			end
		end
	else
		local nodeWin = window.getDatabaseNode();
		if nodeWin then
			Interface.requestNewClientWindow(class[1], nodeWin.getNodeName());
		end
	end
	
	window.list_iedit.setValue(0);
end

I believe that the window.getDatabaseNode() is not getting a value and this is the cause of the error... but I cant see why this is happening...

Line 8 is:
local node = window.getDatabaseNode().createChild();

Any suggestions?
Happy to post a dropbox link to the whole ruleset...

Not an answer to my question above but I just added the ability to export these rolls to a module as part of the inbuilt /export command/utility.
I probably need to change the window to use campaignlistwithtabs instead of the current one but that will have to come later.

But in other news - I still need help with the iadd button if anyone has any ideas...

[damned]

Tabs are also working now.

But still not the other thing....

I think you'll need a Moon Wizard

Hi Chap,

Just fired an email off. If you're struggling - chuck me the ruleset and when I finish being 'Dad' for this afternoon, I'll take a butchers.

Cheers

As I get a Nil result on the window.getDatabaseNode() I think my issue is happening earlier.
Going back to the campaign_cas.xml (new) file where the cas_button_new.lua is being called from Im pretty sure that it wasnt getting the getDatabaseNode() there either as I have specified it manually to get it to work... <datasource>clilist</datasource>

campaign_cas.xml

So Ive messed up something further back... hrmmmm....

[damned]

Ok a bit more info for anyone that may look at this while I sleep...

I added the db node clilist in desktop.lua using:

function registerPublicNodes()
	if User.isHost() then
		DB.createNode("options").setPublic(true);
		DB.createNode("partysheet").setPublic(true);
		DB.createNode("calendar").setPublic(true);
		DB.createNode("combattracker").setPublic(true);
		DB.createNode("modifiers").setPublic(true);
		DB.createNode("effects").setPublic(true);
		DB.createNode("clilist").setPublic(true);
	end
end

I added the campaign tool button in desktop.lua using:

		DesktopManager.registerStackShortcut2("button_cas", "button_cas_down", "sidebar_tooltip_cas", "caslist");

Created the file campaign_cas.xml with the following templates and windowclasses
<template name="button_iadd_cas">
<windowclass name="cassmall">
<windowclass name="caslist">

And from there on we go back up to the posts at the start of this thread.

Ruleset is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yovjrz7c68...eCore.pak?dl=0
Basic, basic dataset here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gmccywjsrf...leset.zip?dl=0

How to recreate error:
Create a new MoreCore campaign or use MoreCoreRuleset campain.
Open console (/console)
Open CAS from Campaign Tools
Click Edit button and then Add
You will see the Nil result from Debug.console and the resultant FG error message.

I added the campaign tool button in desktop.lua using:

		DesktopManager.registerStackShortcut2("button_cas", "button_cas_down", "sidebar_tooltip_cas", "caslist");

You're missing the final parameter that specifies the databasenode to tie the "caslist" windowclass to. Use:

DesktopManager.registerStackShortcut2("button_cas", "button_cas_down", "sidebar_tooltip_cas", "caslist", "clilist");

Hi Chap,

Does that fix his issue? As I'm almost done being Dad today (ie the kids can watch the TV now) so I can take a look.

Cheers

It's fixes this issue, yeah.
