Custom trait compiles but not in list after restart

chowdmouse · 07:10 AM

Hi - I'm trying out the HL editor to create a custom trait. It compiles fine and tells me it's ready to use but after restarting HL the new trait is not in the trait list. I've reviewed various tutorials and FAQs but to no avail which usually means I'm missing something that should be obvious. :-) Any suggestions/pointers are appreciated. --CM

Edit: It seemed to me like HL editor questions get posted mostly in the specific games forums but if this is better posted elsewhere, please point me in that direction.

Does your new trait have a source? Do you have that source on for the character in question?

You nailed it Aaron. I had copied settings from an example and did not properly understand the Source setting. Thank you!
