Equipment Packs / Kits

[SailorLovins]

Hello everyone,

I am in the gear phase of my new excerpt from the campaign I am designing. One such item is the Ninja's Pack. I would like to be able to make it so that it acts like other packs where the contents listed in the description auto populate with the correct item information on the player's inventory sheet. I can't figure out how to do this and am now stuck both in my FG visual aid of constructing my mod as well as the xml coding that goes behind this. Any pointers?

Create a parcel with the items in it. If you put the cost in the money portion of the parcel as a negative, it will even deduct the cost from the player's money.

You can't do this within Fantasy Grounds but it should be possible to do it within the XML. The items in the pack go within the tags <subitems></subitems>

So you would have

<ninja_spack>
<name></name>
<type></type>
 <cost></cost>
<weight></weight>
<description></description>
<subitems>
<backpack></backpack>
<hammer></hammer>
</subitems>
</ninja_spack>

Now that is a cool trick. I will have to toy around with that a lot more in detail

Sure you can. Just create a parcel. You can even create it and export to a module for use in other campaigns.

And this will be a reference > equipmentdata object right?

[Andraax]

Just make parcels by dragging and dropping your items, then export to a module.

Hah, thats a neat trick.

Zacchaeus here is my snippet placed inside my <root> - <reference> - <equipmentdata>. There are only two other entries in this element. Both melee weapons. I tested the mod and fantasy grounds didn't have a problem with the two weapons.

Taking this damage reduces the creature's walking speed by 10 feet until the creature regains at least 1 hit point. A creature moving through the area at half speed doesn't need to make the save.</p></description>

Well that's a lot of work that you can just do with drag and drop inside of FG...
