Create new item selection list?

S

Well-known member
I'm trying to create a new feat that will allow the user to select from a preselected list. Is there a way to create that list?

I tried using the Array-Based Menu, but it only has 10 options, and I need 11 of them.

I tried "Select from 'Freeform-Edit Control'", but it didn't seem to have any selection once I went into HeroLab proper.

Can anyone help me out here?
 
What are you trying to accomplish with this? What you want to do with the selection is important when determining the best way to make that selection.
 
It's a feat from JBE's Book of the River Nations; I'm trying to list the leader types as selection options.
 
And what will you do with that information once the user selects the option?

Does each selection offer a different power? Will these be pre-requisites for anything else?

In theory, they'd be used as prereqs, but only in the same way that Weapon Focus is a prereq for Weapon Specialization. But really, in the book it's just a "can be selected more than once, each time applies to a different..." bit.
 
Would it be alright to just let the user type in whatever they want? Try the "User Text?" checkbox and see if that gives you what you need.
 
Sorry to be a thread necromancer, but this is something I am currently struggling with.

I am attempting to use the "User Text?" box when creating a Racial Special, and when I apply it to a Race and create a Hero with that Race, it displays what I have created properly under the Racial Abilities section of the Background tab. However, it is highlighting it in red with an error that says "Domain must be specified".
I have looked all over but I can't seem to find where I am able to actual ENTER the "User Text" when actually building the Hero.
Any ideas?

Thanks.

I'm going to ask about this too, as I am not sure how to use what i wan to do.

I am entering a feat, that has the player select a draconic heritage (red, Blue, brass, Silver...). That's easy enough to do with the Array Menu. That selection will be used to give the character damage reduction versus the specific energy type of the dragon chosen. I'm not sure how to code the Eval Script to look at the selection in the Array Menu, and apply the specific damage resistance.

Thsi feat will be a prerequisite for a second feat, that will, upon user activation, increase the damage resistance by an additional +10 for a short period of time. So I need to determine how to look up the selection from the Array in teh first feat to apply to the second feat.

Thoughts?

Can you think of anything that's already in the files that grants energy resistance according to the type of dragon selected? Hint: Core Rulebook - an option for a class. Try taking a look at that, to see how it works.

thanks for the pointer. that should help with the first part of it. I'm just not sure how to foreward that on....but I'll look into it and if I still have issues I will get back to you.

This is a bug - it's supposed to be showing up on the background tab. I've added this to my to-do list.
 
I have a dragon race that does pretty much what your asking. I would say download the .user file and you can then tear apart the eval scripts on the race and feats to see how I accomplished it.

See THIS post for the zip file.

Darn ninja's!!!
