[MoreCore] CAS, etc - How to make P1 input <delaykeyupdate /> of sorts?

[Varsuuk]

I added code to recalculate HP based on any change +- in Con bonus if Constitution was changed. Previously, if I changed con, it only used the new value in future rolls (including applying for all HD previously rolled)

This works, but as in other number input controls I worked with like pc level - it triggers a change each time a digit is typed. For PC Level, I added the <delaykeyupdate /> tag and this resulted in on onValueChanged() only being called on hitting enter or the control losing focus.

I played around first, while not loaded, I changed a specific PC's con on both the campaign db (below) and mod (next code section) to include " <delaykeyupdate />". But no love, it still prints:


Character's hitpoints changed from 38 to 30 (Constitution changed from 11 to 1)


Original score was 11. I was trying to type 12 in the box.

Any tips, things to look at?


(From the campaign db.xml: )


...
<cas>
</cas>
<charsheet>
<id-00001>
<aac>
...
<clilist1>
<cha>
...
</cha>
<con>
<alt_sort_order type="number">5</alt_sort_order>
<clichatcommand type="string">/mod 0</clichatcommand>
<delaykeyupdate>
</delaykeyupdate>
<description type="formattedtext">
<p>Constitution</p>
</description>


(In the .mod file where I store several CAS "rolls", including a category for "Attributes" I have: )


...
<reference static="true">
<cas>
<category name="Attributes" baseicon="0" decalicon="0">
<str>
...
</dex>
<con>
<alt_sort_order type="number">5</alt_sort_order>
<clichatcommand type="string">/mod 1</clichatcommand>
<delaykeyupdate />
<description type="formattedtext">
<p>Constitution</p>
</description>
<locked type="number">1</locked>
<name type="string">Constitution</name>

I added a "workaround" to eliminate at least calling my watcher method when the value is < 3 for Con:




function updateConstitutionScore(node)

local nodeChar = nodeCharFromAttributeScore(node)
local nNewConstitution = getAttribute(nodeChar,
Interface.getString("attributes_constitution_id"))

if nNewConstitution < 3 then
-- Workaround until I can get updated only on enter/lose-focus :(
return
end

if nCurrentConstitution ~= nNewConstitution then
local _, sPCClassRecord = DB.getValue(nodeChar, "pcclasslink")
...



I did this when I realized that the calling into my method is via a watcher I setup. It watches the DB entry. So, if I cannot stop the DB from being updated until ENTER/Lose-Focus - I can at least ignore some updates. Still would like to do it via the delay update thing



local nCurrentConstitution = 0
function registerConstitutionWatcher(nodeChar)
Debug.console("nodeChar=", nodeChar)
local sAttributePath = getAttributePath(Interface.getString(
"attributes_constitution_id"))

DB.addHandler(DB.getPath(nodeChar, sAttributePath), "onUpdate", updateConstitutionScore);
end
