panellink / containervalid for Agent tabs?

TCArknight · May 11th, 2017, 03:49 PM

Hi all!

I have this tab:

Code:

  <!-- sorcery panel
        This is the "Sorcery" panel shown within Hero Lab.
  -->
  <panel
    id="sorcery"
    name="Sorcery"
    marginhorz="5"
    marginvert="5"
    order="155"
    agentcompset="Sorcery"
    agentlive="HasSorc"
    agentname="name"
    >
    <live>!HideTab.sorcery</live>
    <layoutref layout="sorcery"/>
    <position><![CDATA[
      ]]></position>
    </panel>

If I try to use panellink="sorcery" (for Resource components on the tab) or container.panelvalid[sorcery] (for validations) the tab is never marked invalid, even if a resource would mark another panel invalid.

What am I missing when dealing with these agents?

Wouldn't that turn every sorcery tab on the character red? Not just the specific one this ability is on?

Each character will only have one type of sorcery, so I'm ok with marking the overall tab.

The id of the actual agent tab that exists on the character is the Id of the agent pick that created it - "sorcery" is the id of the template that was used to create that pick.

So transition to that agent context, and then use "linkvalid"

Code:

hero.findchild[Component,"some expression"].linkvalid = 0

for example, or

Code:

linkage[table].linkvalid = 0

if you're running this from a pick that was added to that panel.
