View Full Version : Any reason why items show a blank box, rather than a red dot?

If I drag a premade object (In this case a rapier) it prefills it all out for me, and gives a red dot as the pin. But if I custom create an object, it just makes a box. Why is this? How can I fix it? See picture in link.

The weapon entries and item entries are actually two different records in two different sections of the character data. When you add an item from a campaign or module record that is a weapon, it adds the item to the inventory and automatically creates and links relevant weapon entries. From there, the weapon entries can be edited or deleted. If you delete the item from the inventory, it also deletes the associated weapon entries.

If you want the weapon entries to be linked, create the weapon as an item record, and add to the character.

Good to know. Was this a recent thing? (Recent as in one of the updates?) I don't remember this being a thing...but then again, it's been about 4 years since I've used FG.

It's definitely been that way for many years; so not sure.
