Trouble with Headers

[royalfa]

Well I must say that this is a simple trouble if I think in all the things I still need to do (make classes for my game for instance).

Well I finally finish successfully the Skill tab, at least at my taste.

But I can't "put" the headers in each of the columns.

Here is my code (template only):

<template
id="skSklPick"
name="Skill Pick"
compset="Skill">

<portal
id="name"
style="lblNormal"
showinvalid="yes">
<label
field="name">

</portal>

<portal

call TraitHist
@text = traithist
]]></mouseinfo>
</portal>

<portal
id="incr"
style="incrSimple">
<incrementer
field="trtUser">
</incrementer>
<live>Hero.Monster</live>
<mouseinfo><![CDATA[
var traithist as string
call TraitHist
@text = traithist
]]></mouseinfo>
</portal>

<portal

]]></mouseinfo>
</portal>

<portal
id="lbltrained"
style="lblXLrgDis">
<label
field="sklTrained">
</label>
<mouseinfo><![CDATA[
@text = "This skill has been automatically trained by another source, and does not count against your limit of trained skills."
]]></mouseinfo>
</portal>

<portal
id="attr"
style="lblSkill">
<label>
<labeltext><![CDATA[
if (islinkage[attribute] = 0) then
@text = "-"
done
endif
var attrabbr as string
attrabbr = left(linkage[attribute].field[name].text,3)
attrabbr = uppercase(attrabbr)
@text = field[sklAttr].text
@text &= " {size 40}(" & attrabbr & ")"
]]></labeltext>
</label>
</portal>

<portal

Don't find the error. The game compiles fine, the tab do not show the headers not even "over" another text.

Thanks and I will keep working all I can.

[Mathias]

Whether or not to use a template-based header is set on the definition of the table


headertemplate="skSklPick"


should be the setting you'll want.

Here's the relevant page of the wiki, BTW:

Thanks Mathias problem solve.

Now I have issues with the "race info" portal.

I only display the "info" if the race is selected but only shows 7 lines of text instead of all the info.

I try to change the height of the portal (portal[raInfoTbl].height = 100) but nothing changes.

this is the code:

<!-- raRaceInfo template
Displays info for the current race in a large template area.
-->
<template
id="raRaceInfo"
name="Trait Pick"
compset="Trait">

<portal
id="details"
style="lblNormal">
<label
ismultiline="yes">
<labeltext><![CDATA[
var descript as string
var nodescript as number
nodescript = 1
call Descript
@text = "{align left}" & descript
]]></labeltext>
</label>
</portal>

<position><![CDATA[
~set up our height based on our tallest portal
portal[details].width = width
height = portal[details].textheight
]]></position>

</template>



<layout
id="race">
<portalref portal="raTitle"/>
<portalref portal="chRace" taborder="10"/>
<portalref portal="Horizontal"/>
<portalref portal="raInfoTbl"/>

<position><![CDATA[
~position and size the tables to span the full layout
portal[raTitle].top = 20
portal[raTitle].left = 20
portal[chRace].top = 20
portal[chRace].width = width / 2
portal[chRace].left = portal[raTitle].width + 30
portal[chRace].height = 20


~set the separator width and position it beneath the attributes
portal[Horizontal].width = portal[raTitle].width + portal[chRace].width - 10
portal[Horizontal].top = portal[chRace].bottom + 15
portal[Horizontal].left = portal[raTitle].left + 20

if (hero.tagis[Race.?] = 0) then
portal[raInfoTbl].visible = 0
endif

portal[raInfoTbl].left = portal[Horizontal].left
portal[raInfoTbl].width = width - (portal[raInfoTbl].left * 2)
portal[raInfoTbl].top = portal[Horizontal].bottom + 20
~portal[raInfoTbl].height = height - portal[raInfoTbl].top


]]></position>

</layout>

Other issue that can't figure it out is the "Icon mouseover text".

I know how to do it with an info icon but in the d20 class panel, for each class, they show different icons:
attack saves spells and special

When you "moseover" on the icon a text appears (like info) moreover in each case the texts corresponding to your class level is in bold other text is gray.

Maybe this is more advanced than the things I'm doing and I still need a lot of traits to the game: Saves for example but all the help will be appreciated.

Thanks again
Roy

By the way the wikipage you linked to me is empty.

By the way the wikipage you linked to me is empty.

Sorry about that - apparently the auto-detection of links on this forum doesn't like web addresses that end in a ")" Try the Portal link from this page: http://hlkitwiki.wolflair.com/index.php5/Data_File_Reference

I'll try to get to the rest over the weekend (I'm afraid I probably won't have time this afternoon).

[royalfa]

Don't worry a lot of thanks and good weekend.

Roy

[Mathias]

Ignore this one

[Mathias]

I see you have the line that sets the height of portal[raInfoTbl] commented out - unless you tell HL to give that table lots of height, you'll only get the default height for your display.

[royalfa]

I have a new layout (from the 4e tab race) and with that line not commented, still only 8 lines in description.

Thanks
