Category change?

[zandraxon]

So I put a bunch of unique created weapons in Mechanics Reference>Special Item instead of Almanac>Named Equipment. Now I can't drag it to be contained by each PC.

Is there anyway I can change it without having to cut/paste and/or recreate the topics?

You can only have a topic once - you can not have the same topic multiple places.

In your case I would have a snippet in the character-topic describing what equipment they have.

In this snippet, list the items. If the items have a topic somewhere the item will become a link pointing to the topic.

A forum search on "change category" brings up several threads with different methods.

Unfortunately, you can't change categories between Almanac and Mechanics Reference.

Not directly, but you can do so INdirectly...

1. Clone the category whose topics you want to migrate so that you have a user-created category.
2. Change the topics/articles based on the global category to be based on the new user-created category.
3. Change the user-created category from topic to article, or vice versa.
4. Change the topics/articles now based on the user-created category to the desired global category.
5. Delete the user-created category that was used solely for migration and is no longer needed.

Hope this helps!

Rob,
I cant figure this out...
Can you put this in "Laymens" terms and do a walk threw so I can figure this out.

Thanks.

If you only have a few items to swap over, I'd recommend just retyping them, or doing CTRL-M on all the content to merge into a single block then copy/pasting it into the new entry. I personally would go this route unless I had a lot (like my spells or creatures).

Rob's instructions are generalized. If you can provide detailed info on what you are trying to do, one of us here in the forums can probably chime in. What specific topic/article(s) in what specific category(ies) are you trying to move to which specific category(ies)?

I am trying to move several "Monsters" I entered in Mechanics Reference, Dangers, Monster / Enemy....

TO

World Almanac, Into one of the Modules I helped a friend create... And appear as a Monster / Enemy Icon... In the "Events" section shown. (I want to move the 4 creatures shown.

Sorta like the "People" icon in the pic attached.

One of. My videos covers this exact thing. Probably got categories in the title.
