As you may have seen in this thread (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7446) I'm messing around with the characterlist_entry.lua file. In this file I noticed you can actually drag a number onto a portrait. I'm thinking about using this functionality for something else, but before I do, I want to know if anybody uses this option for anything. Currently dragging a number onto a portrait only gives an entry in the chat box with the character's portrait and the number dragged. I can't think of any use for it...... can you?

I found out the other week that you can drag the grey icon for a map or story on to a PC portrait to allow just them to see it.

I use it for damage for charcters alot in confusing situations. IE when a monster with lots of attacks splits them over different characters. That what it's clear who got hit for what. I have also used it for when an NPC Cleric cures someone so it's clear who just got cured. The last thing I do with it is use it for stat damage if there is normal and stat damage.

Okay. Don't think I'll be using any of those, but I like developing for everyone, and not just for me. So I'll think of a way around this.....
