A detail I forgot to note:

Note how all my gizmo examples had a helper pick?

That's because of a change that needs to be made to tables within a gizmo.

Normally, you can leave the addpick="" part of a table_dynamic blank, because it defaults to addpick="actor". But in a gizmo, there is no default available, so you must have an addpick="". So, I always add a helper pick, and set the addpick="" to that helper pick.

Without an addpick, the additem text will always be ??????

The helper pick doesn't need to be complex - you can use the Simple compset that's defined in miscellaneous.str for that pick, because it doesn't need to have any behaviors of its own - it just needs to be present.
