Greetings!
I'm thrashing around, trying to make headway with making my own addtions to my 4e game system, and I'm struggling a bit.
One thing that I think would help quite a bit, is if I could look at a list of names of things, in their context.
For example, I want to change the size of a character from Medium to Large at 11th level. I've been able to figure out that Size is a trait, but the scripting documentation is written in a very general, vague sort of way that doesn't really help.
I've figured out, by digging in some of the 4e code, that I can use the #traitmodify macro macro to modify Str/Con/Dex/Int/Wis/Cha, but when I add one to trSize, nothing happens.
I've gone to Develop->Enable Data File Debugging as suggested in the Wiki, but I don't get anything listed for "Floating Info Windows", so I can't see anything there.
Is the basic 4e game system, with all of its traits and contexts, documented anywhere?
If not, what 4e data files can I dig into to try to understand how to access things that don't already have an example in one of the files downloaded from DDI?
Any help would be appreciated.
