Gizmo confusion

[Mathias]

Oh right - this is the statblock, so there's no need to look at the bootstraps as things - they're picks by now, so find them as picks.

foreach pick in eachpick.gizmo where "component.Ability"

That did it, thanks.

How would I go about creating an option in the Configure Hero to use to toggle display of the gizmos?

I've gotten to that point in my project too. I set up source elements in control.1st. I made a "sourcebooks" parent with the "selectable" element set to "no":

  <source
    id="Sourcebks"
    name="Sourcebooks"
    selectable="no"
    description="Collection of rules from Qin supplements that can be turned on and off">
    </source>

Then I added a source element for each sourcebook for the game, such as:

  <source
    id="qinLegends"
    name="Qin Legends"
    abbrev="Legends"
    parent="Sourcebks"
    default="no"
    reportable="no"
    sortorder="1"
    description="Controls whether material from Qin Legends is available">
    </source>

Finally, I'm creating a new thing_xxxxx.dat file for the source, adding a "usesource" element to the things in it:

<usesource source="qinLegends"/>

I think you can get more granular than that by making the individual sourcebooks not selectable, then adding sources to represent individual rules options.

Hope that helps.

TCArknight, I've been trying to crib your work on skill specialties as per this post, but I'm hitting a brick wall. I don't suppose you have any hardwon wisdom you could share?
