Iterate through a component
 

Is it possible to find all the fields associated with a component.

For example, in 5E, I've dug through data.hlz to find fields for MyGear.

field[gWeight].text
field[gWeight].value

and a few others.

Is there a way to find all fields that are associated with a component, like BaseWep, BaseAttr, etc.

As your in the authoring kit forum then you have a new game system and full control. Just look for the .dat file that defines the component set and look at the fields. Then you can also easily add any new fields you want.

If your question is 5e specific then you really need to ask it in the 5e forums because you are unable to use the authoring kit in existing games. In those cases debug tools are your friend. Simply add a Thing to a character and look at the debug fields to see what is available.

Thanks ShadowChemosh,

I'll dig around and see what I can find.

Update: ShadowChemosh, that's exactly the kind of answer I like. It's not spoon-feeding, but JUST enough to get me to figure it out.

'Simply add a Thing to a character' was exactly what I needed.


Thanks again,

Dave

Make sure you have turned on Debugging Tools. Do this by going to Develop->Enable Data File debugging. This options up new options for when your RIGHT click on a "?" in HL. You get to see tags/fields.

If the Pick is behind the scenes. Like you want to look at a class helpers fields because a class has two parts. One you can easily see and one you can't. In example add a level of warlock. To see the Helper Class Pick you can go to Develop->Floating Info Windows->Show Selection Fields. Then in the new window type in 'cHelp' into the search box to find the warlock class helper Pick. Put a check mark next to it and press OK. You will get a large new window showing you every field that is on the warlock class helper pick.
