Customizing the Tactical Console

Adam.Ormond

Well-known member
So, as I mentioned in another thread, our DM uses Hero Lab to run combats, and he typically needs to apply status effects to multiple NPCs in a Portrait file. This is a time consuming task, involving the following steps:

do
1) Select Target on Dashboard
2) Click the Adjust tab
3) Assuming Adjust already is there, check the "pIsOn" box
while (targets.nextTarget)

What I'd like to do is create a button for each Actor which allows a specific adjustment to be added and/or activated directly from the Tactical Console.

For example, my character casts Prayer in almost every battle. If it was as simple as clicking a "Toggle Prayer:Foe" button next to the "Apply Damage" button, our combats would go much faster. I'd like to create buttons for each status effect we regularly apply (Evil Eye, Shaken, Grappled, etc).

Is it possible to override or augment Pathfinder's Tactical Console? If not, what are my options? Can I create a separate Tactical tab with the same functionality (using the form_taccon.dat file), and the GM just uses that instead of the built-in Tactical Console?

Thanks for any advice!
