Forcing text into a labeledstring?

Why do you want the name passed like that?

Why did I do that? Because I don't know what I'm doing

I kind of just fiddled around with it till it works and then slapped a coat of wax on it and moved on to the next thing. Honestly, it's amazing I finished the ruleset at all - lol. I am the proverbial 1,000 monkeys.

It's odd though, that it would only complain about that particular field.

It just complains about that field till I put a string in it, then it complains about the next one :/


So, do I need to remove the blue, add the red, and add the if/then/else statement - all three?

I'll start messing with it and see what I get.

<.<... >.>... I wondered if anybody would catch that

Probably just add the if/then/else. Though the code that's in the red would probably save a possible error later on down the road.

I think that got me where I wanted to be. I had to duplicate those lines for the numeric entries and actually assign a default value to them in the event of nil ("0"), but I figured that out.

Thank you so much for taking time to mess with my obesssio... I mean project.

No problem. The more I spend looking at the code, the less I'll have to work later on when I'm sitting there tinkering with the combat tracker for my ruleset.

you can add a static value, i.e.

			<labeledstring name="name">
				<anchored>
					<to>overviewframe</to>
					<position>insidetopleft</position>
					<offset>15,10</offset>
					<size>
						<width>150</width>
						<height>20</height>
					</size>
				</anchored>
				<anchorto>overviewframe</anchorto>
				<height>20</height>
				<label>name</label>
                                <static>Billy Bob</static>
				<tabtarget>
					<next>race</next>
					<prev>appearance</prev>
				</tabtarget>
			</labeledstring>

Doh! Well, that was still very informative, and helped me do things a better way.
