Hello All!
I am Software Engineer by trade attempting to start a game of The Sprawl with some experienced D&D players. Sine the group is experienced in RPG games and the system for the Sprawl and PbtA are relatively simple I thought this was a good time to try and actually use the ultimate license I have and run a game.
The problem:
I have rolls and mods and a lot of other stuff I crafted from referencing the great Dungeon World setup tutorial by @wndrngdru, however, when it comes to Corps, Threats, and Countdown Clocks I am at a bit of a loss for best implementations.
What I have:
I am currently using the Worldbuilder features of type Group (Corp) and Entity (Threat) with the data I care about in some field that make personal sense to me even if they are named oddly. Then I am tossing roll links in the gm description and an image of the current Countdown Clock status at the top as seen here 54861
I also have a set of colorized countdown clocks that are setup in a table 54862
What I would like:
A custom window that looks like 54863
where the Countdown clock at the top is a field that does one of the following:
a) Shows the currently linked countdown clock image and, on click, cycles through the clock images.
b) Shows the currently linked countdown clock image and, when a new image is dragged in replaces the image shown with the one dragged on
c) Stores the value for the current status of this Corps clock which is looked up in the table which can be dragged in somewhere and shows the image for the Clock in the table that matches
The other fields are just private string/link fields and I think I can handle that myself based on the tutorials
Why I want this and a Bonus feature!:
The main reason I want this is to lead to be bigger goal of updating the combat tracker to also use the Table of Countdown Clocks. Since player health in The Sprawl is represented by a countdown clock also it would be great use one everywhere health is discussed also. At the very least I would like to correlate a health value to the table and show the corresponding clock in the combat tracker for the each player based on current health
I have already watched the tutorial series most of the way through and it has helped with an understanding of some of the architecture in place but I am not sure if what I want is possible and if there is some better or similar option that is more in line with the architecture. I am also unsure if it is better to start from scratch with a new window or mod some other existing one I may not know about at this point.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
