Turns out it still has the same problem though; its essentially a permanent part of your character once you do that. In fact, if you do it that way, you can't even seem to drop it from a cursory look.

I hadn't played around with that before, I completely missed the original posting on it, to be honest, but that is... disappointing.

The wiki is very old. The auto-add came out in the past year, maybe two. It was added when the Mutants and Masterminds 3 used it. Maybe other game systems do, too. I looked at how it worked in the M&M3 to give me ideas on how to implement it in SW.

Auto-add adds it to your character, but you can then remove it as normal.

Nope. I edited the Axe Fighter edge I have in my Broken Earth file so it used auto-add instead of bootstrap, and the axe is showing up, but there's no remove mark (aka the "x" for it). Just to make sure its not something else, I just manually added a katana, and it shows it fine.

So apparently auto-add, at least as of the incarnation of HL I have (which is, to the best of my knowledge the most recent) does not.

Did you enter the proper poral id?

SeeleyOne · July 4th, 2015, 07:35 PM

That is odd, because it totally works for me with the Deadlands things that I shared. I just tested it. Perhaps, as AndrewD2 suggested, you made some sort of error?

I've been having a play with the Autoadd facility this afternoon and it does work if the correct Portal ID has been entered, otherwise it either doesn't appear at all, or appears without the ability to remove it.

For example, auto-adding an injury requires the peInjury portal

Code:

<autoadd thing="injACSLoss" portal="peInjury"></autoadd>

Thanks for pointing out this guys, it will fix a few things that were going to be time consuming for users

I do a lot of work on Pathfinder and the Adventuring Kits use Auto-Add from the gear tab, but anything that uses a different portal has to have the portal or it doesn't properly show up.

I somehow missed the Portal ID thing was even there (I'm not sure how) and since the Editor considered it usable I moved on.

How does one find the appropriate portal ID for something like this? It doesn't seem like its one of the tags associated with the item as far as I can tell, so I assume its somewhere else.

Evil wins because good rolls poorly .... or the players are not paying enough attention to the game.
