View Full Version : Drag and Drop List of Links
damned

I have some Drag and Drop fields on the MoreCore sheet that let me drag in Rolls and Abilities from Libraries (you can also create new ones within these lists). When I drop something in here it makes a copy and this copy can be edited without the original being affected and vice versa.
I have another frame that currently contains a list that I would like to drag LINKS into - eg I dont want to make a copy of the record I want to link to the original record. Is there an example of this - other than Story and Notes (they are different they are dragging links into a content field - or at least I think they are different) that you can point me too?

Just off the top of my head, I thought the 3.5/PF Feat/Abilities/Proficiencies sections did this.

I don't believe so. That is being added in 3.2.2, as I understand it, Nickademus.

I'm not sure what you are talking about. The 3.5/PF ruleset has always had a list of link in the Abilities sections. In fact, someone back in the day made an extension to try to force FG to make a copy of the record rather than a link. I'm not aware of anything in 3.2.2 affecting the abilities tab of the PF character sheet.

Yep, as Nickademus says, the abilities in the 3.5E ruleset are shortcut links to the original record.
See <template name="list_charabilities"> in campaign\template_char.xml (3.5E.pak) for the code to create the shortcut link.

the abilities in the 33.5E ruleset.
Good grief, have I missed something? ;)

No problem, but I think you are still confused. You can drag and drop abilities to the character sheet in 3.5/PF. It is not automatically done for you when you drag a class or race like in 5E, but the abilities have full drag-and-drop functionality.

No, that's what I meant, the automatic abilities filling out like 5e. I'll just shut up now....

Thanks guys - that was the perfect source to use. There was a particular line using the name value that threw me for all together too long but its working now. Its for MoreCore of course. Oh and that has drag and drop and exportable abilities too :)
I have added a spell slot tracker and also a couple of places you can drag reference links, notes links and image links that are of particular relevance to your character.
By clicking on the Icon top left it switches the frame to the alternate content.

damned, what are you doing with image links when they are dragged?

Not much. They are for player utility/reference.
On the first frame Id grab those reference manual links most referenced by me in game.
In the second Id link to those Notes that are actually useful... notes on NPCs, on clues gathered...
In the third id link to those images that i commonly refer to... that ransom note, the big picture map...
Is that what you mean or are you asking about underneath the thin veneer of civility?
Im collecting and storing this:
<id-00033>
<holder name="DAntari" owner="true" />
<name type="string">Baxter</name>
<shortcut type="windowreference">
<class>note</class>
<recordname>notes.id-00003</recordname>
</shortcut>
</id-00033>
meaning when they click the link in their charsheet its exactly the same as clicking it in the notes window.
The Reference one I actually did first and its making a copy... this is not so important as its reference - it doesnt change.
