This is obviously a work-in-progress extension.

The idea here is to give the ability to finally add real weapon entries to Vehicles in a way that mimics how you would see them on a Spacecraft record.

The ultimate goal of all this is to allow Vehicles to be handled like Spacecraft with the same general workflow in the ruleset but have them be function within the same Combat Tracker as NPCs and Characters. This is a long way away from that in its current form.

You can grab an work in progress version of the extension here: https://github.com/Stargrove528/VehicleActions.

Just download the VehicleActions.ext and drop it in your Extension folder.

Then, in FGU, select the extension as follows:

This is not really meant for prime time so use at your own peril!


Still left to do:
- Roll from Vehicle Record
- Drop vehicle weapons onto blank vehicle weapon record
- Create PC Vehicle button in sidebar
- Create form to drop existing Vehicle Record on
- Add Vehicles tab to Party Sheet similar to the Ships tab
- Add crew to Vehicle on Party Sheet
- Add Vehicle from Party Sheet to the Combat Tracker

Looking forward to this.

I will wait to download from the Forge. Be sure to charge for it!

It could be a while before its ready for the Forge.

As I have been exploring all the ruleset code related to vehicles I have found a lot of the infrastructure was written by MBM but never implemented to handle Vehicles the same way that Spacecraft today. This really helps since I should be able to leverage that existing code to get this done sooner. Fingers crossed.
