Help With Coding Single Link (Not In A List)

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to right the XML/LUA code to have a Link to a Map - I've looked at the various lists which allow you to drag and drop an entity's shortcut into the list, but what I want is a one-of entry, not a list, so I'm having trouble.

What I'd lick is (for eg)

Code:

---

                        <label_column>
                                <anchor>MapLink</anchor>
                                <static text="Map" />
                        </label_column>
                        <Some other template which would hold the name of the map (filename) plus a Shortcut Icon. name="MapLink" />

---

Any ideas/help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Are you trying to do something like the linkfield at the right of a skill entry on the character sheet in the 3.5e ruleset?

If so, have a look at the campaign\record_char_skills.xml file - the "char_skill" windowclass defines each skill entry and the "shortcut" linkfield is where a link can be dropped:

Code:

---

<linkfield name="shortcut">
        <anchored width="20" height="20">
                <top offset="2" />
                <right parent="rightanchor" anchor="left" relation="relative" offset="-2" />
        </anchored>
        <allowdrop />
</linkfield>

---

<linkfield> is a template that can be found in common\template_common.xml in the CoreRPG ruleset.

That sounds like what I'm after - I'll have a look see and get back to you if I have ay further issues/questions.

Thanks Trenloe, I really do appreciate all the help - even if I do forget to say thanks now then.

Thanks Trenloe, that was what I was after.

OK, next question: Is there a way to clear/reset the linkfield/windowreferencecontrol back to an "blank" state?

At the moment I've got:

Code:

---

<script>
        function onDrop(nXPos,nYPos,oDragData)
                if oDragData.getType() == "shortcut" and
                                oDragData.getShortcutData() == "imagewindow" then
                        [stuff happens];
                else
                        setValue("","");
                end
        end
</script>

---

But this doesn't seem to work.

Thanks in advance

Tables have the functionality of removing a link. Might be able to find the code that does this and apply it to other links.

Try setValue() instead of setValue("","")

After using that, if you close and re-open the window has the link gone? I'm wondering if it is a refresh issue.

Also try removing the link, closing FG and going back in and see if the link is still there?

I had a recent issue where changing the icon of a button was only refreshing if you closed FG and opened it again. JPG fixed that specific issue in 3.0.3.
