Ruleset Wizard - The new Ruleset development environment

[Trenloe]

psicodelix, I tried a dozen or more ways to do this, but nothing has worked.

My list object name is specialability_list, my datasource name is .specialabilities and I have tried

window.specialabilities.createWindow() a nil value
window.getDatabaseNode().specialabilities.createWi ndow() a nil value
window.getDatabaseNode().getChild("specialabilitie s").createWindow() a nil value

And probably several other iterations, plus using getChildren() to see if I can see the node at all. Nothing seems to be working, or maybe I'm just too tired to see it. Any pointers from here?

You can't "createWindow" against a database node - FG doesn't know where to create that window.

You need to createWindow against the windowlist GUI control - "specialability_list" in this case.

Assuming your code is running within the window scope, use window.specialability_list.createWindow() - as per the example in post #326 above.

Thanks Trenloe, that was where I was going wrong!

Awesome work!!!!

Could you attach the source code of the problematic window class?

Thanks, the first one is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

-<windowclass name="TraitDetail">


-<placement>

<size width="530" height="117"/>

</placement>

<script> function onInit() super.onInit(); add("Talent","Talent"); add("Trait","Trait"); add("Drawback","Drawback"); add("Disorder","Disorder"); add("Taint of Chaos","Taint of Chaos"); end </script>

[psicodelix]

please, send the main trait window source code too.

When you click on add folder, can you please set focus to the text box for the folder's name? That would really go for any popup that is prompting for a name (e.g. add XML, Script, etc.)

Ok.

Thank you for your help; I built this into the Abilities part of the character sheet and this is the only code I can get (by right clicking):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

-<root>


-<windowclass name="charsheet_abilities">


-<placement>

<size width="610" height="526"/>

</placement>


-<sizelimits resize="both">

<maximum width="615" height="700"/>

<minimum width="500" height="500"/>

<dynamic/>

</sizelimits>


-<sheetdata>


-<genericcontrol name="IconControl2">

<bounds>6,33,-10,-5</bounds>

</genericcontrol>


-<windowlist name="TraitList">


-<anchored>

<left offset="41"/>

<right offset="-69"/>

<top offset="41"/>

<bottom offset="-12"/>

</anchored>

<gmeditonly/>

<class>TraitDetail</class>

<datasource>TraitList</datasource>

<allowcreate/>

<allowdelete/>

</windowlist>


-<scrollbarcontrol name="ScrollBar1">

<name>scrollbar_base</name>

</frame>

<bounds>-65,37,23,-15</bounds>

<target>TraitList</target>


-<normal name="scrollbutton_normal">

<minimum height="scrollbutton_normal"/>

</normal>

</scrollbarcontrol>

</sheetdata>

</windowclass>

</root>

[psicodelix]

at a first glance, I think the datasource of your list should be .TraitList (note the dot before the name), as the data source must be relative.

Okay, my last challenge for this exercise is to add modifiers to a Dice Field when the dice are dragged off. I have added the information into the control's Dice Roll section, but that does not do anything.

I'm wondering if I need to set Control Custom Properties for the Dice Field, but if so then what fields exactly need to be set or how can I customize the dice rolled, for instance sending a message to the chat box that indicates which weapon was attacked with and what the skill modifier is for the weapon.

Thanks in advance for the help!!

to make a dice field add a modifier to the roll set
- Allow drag & drop to: true
- Dice roll string to: + {modifierfield}

to set the description for the roll you can set the Roll Description Property, for example.

Attack with {weaponname}


you can find more advanced examples of dice handling in the Ruleset Wizard Core demo project.
