Is it possible to override the Distance Suffix

[ronnke]

Is it possible to override the distance suffix field/control in the image window?

I would like to define a number of preset units that could be selected via a dropdown or similar.

It can be defined on a ruleset basis using Interface APIs.

Are you able to point me to some documentation. I've looked at the "ImageControl", "Interface", "Assets and Settings" API reference material and there doesn't appear to be anything related to the image subwindows, specifically how to override the distance suffix.

The image below shows the field/control I want to override. I would like to turn that into a dropdown with a number of preset values the GM can select from.

Something along these lines probably

(this was an imagewindow)


window.image.setDistanceBaseUnits(sOldDistance);
window.image.setDistanceSuffix(sOldSuffix);


I can't point the the docs but thats what I used previously.

I might be wrong but I think the "gameelements.xml" controls this:



<distance>
<base>1</base>
<diagmult>1</diagmult>
<suffix>y</suffix>
</distance>

I want something more like this:



<distance>
<base>1</base>
<diagmult>1</diagmult>
<suffix>ft</suffix>
<suffix>yd</suffix>
<suffix>m</suffix>
<suffix>mi</suffix>
<suffix>AU</suffix>
<suffix>ly</suffix>
<suffix>pc</suffix>
</distance>

You would need to create your own UI to display the allowed units and then use the method I mentioned above to set them after selection. At least that's where I would start.
