Clear the Combat Tracker

[tokkibell]

Is there a command I'm missing that clears out the combat tracker. The click remove gets annoying should I end up with a large list of opponents.

Alternately, if there is not, any ideas on how to script this?

Would a slash function like "/cleartracker" work for you? Do you want it to delete everyone or just all non-PCs?

[tokkibell]

A slash function would be perfect, and either of those two options works. I can see the advantages to both ways.

[joshuha]

Ok try this.

Add this function in chatmanager.lua, I added mine right above the onInit function.



function clearTracker(params)
ct = Interface.openWindow("combattracker","");
for k, v in ipairs(ct.list.getWindows()) do
if params == "all" then
v.close();
elseif v.charactertype ~= "pc" then
v.close();
end
end
end


Then to register it as a slashhandler add this line to the function onInit() below the other slashhandler registrations.



registerSlashHandler("/cleartracker", clearTracker);



Then it should work. If you do "/cleartracker" it will leave the PCs in there and if you do "/cleartracker all" it should remove all the entries.

Thanks Joshuha, another great one for my ruleset.
I'm starting an archive.... any more scripts you can share with us? Dunno if you have a documented archive.....

Hmm no archive but thats a good idea. I have mentioned before we should get a seperate sub-forum here for scripting and someone who can moderate it and sticky useful scripts.

I'm actually doing a bit of a repository using Subversion on my laptop. I don't really have the time to manage something like that publicly (in truth, I don't have the time to manage it for myself or run my game, but I decided to give up sleep years ago), but it would be a great option for developing personal code branches for different rulesets and then quickly implementing changes to the original code and being able to easily adapt the customizations.

Just a thought.

You aren't the only one using Subversion. I'm also using it to keep track of my ruleset changes and versions.

Added a couple lines to handle removing dead NPCs and dead players.

"/cleartracker dead" clears out NPCs who have Wounds >= HP

"/cleartracker alldead" clears out all entries who have Wounds >= HP


-- clear out the tracker
function clearTracker(params)
ct = Interface.openWindow("combattracker","");
for k, v in ipairs(ct.list.getWindows()) do
if params == "all" then
v.close();
elseif params == "dead" then
if v.wounds.getValue() >= v.hp.getValue() and v.charactertype ~= "pc" then
v.close();
end
elseif params == "alldead" then
if v.wounds.getValue() >= v.hp.getValue() then
v.close();
end
elseif v.charactertype ~= "pc" then
v.close();
end
end
end

If you happen to start wounds = HP and then count down to 0 you can change the

>= v.hp.getvalue()

to

<= 0

and it should work

I just made a post about a community open source type d20 ruleset. Maybe we can all get together and get one started. Have a look.

Thanks for the code guys, but I have a question. Whenever I add it to chatmanager.lua I get the following error when I try to call it using the chat window.

Script Error: [string "scripts/chatmanager.lua"]:71: attempt to index global 'ct' (a nil value)

Any ideas on how to fix it?

[hgordillo]

Same here..maybe an FG update breaks this script?
