grouping items in a choosetemplate with headings

[ShadowWalker]

I'm trying to do something similar to the Shadowrun firearms form for adding a new firearm.

I want to have the headings similar to the Taser, Hold-Out etc.

I have it working except for this part. Just not sure what to add.
Would the headertemplate be what I am looking for?

The headers within the tables in Shadowrun all have the "Show Only?" checkbox in the editor checked.

A headertemplate is for column headers that stay at the top of the table all the time.

Not sure I understand "Show Only?".

With I have a shadowrun character open.
Go to the weapon tab and click on Add New Firearms and a form is shown. This form has firearms listed that includes a heading for each category of firearm.
I'm trying to replicate the category header from this form and wondering how it was done?

The authoring kit is for creating new game systems from scratch, so since you posted in this forum, I thought you were creating your own system and wondering how to do the same thing as Shadowrun does, where items in the tables have a header at the beginning of each group of items.

Please explain what it is you're trying to accomplish.

I am trying to create something for Interface Zero which uses the Fate Core system.
It has gear, vehicles, cyberware etc. I am trying to replicate something similar for interface purposes to what shadowrun has.
It is no where near as complicated as shadowrun. I just want the gear sorted and grouped by category with the category displayed much like it is in Shadowrun.

The first step is to check the choosesortset that's set for the table you're creating - make sure it's organizing the items in the order you want them to appear in.

Second, create a new header item for each header you want, using the editor. For each of them, on the middle-right side of the editor, look for a checkbox named "Show Only?". Check that for all your headers.

Then, test things - do the headers show up correctly? If not, you may need to alter the choosetemplate that's set for that table, so that it centers the name and hides the portals you don't want shown, if the thing.showonly tag is present on the item being displayed.

Thanks.

Is there a more elegant way to hiding portals than moving them off the edge?

Here's the list of things you can do to a portal: anything there that would control whether it's visible or not?: http://hlkitwiki.wolflair.com/index....ext#references
