default value - newbie question

Hi

I've just started to tinker with the Authoring kit, using the skeleton files generated by Hero Lab. I'm starting to get the absolute basics. So far I've managed to add a few more attributes, and changed the point cost of those attributes.

My first problem is that I can't find how to set a default value. I understand (I think) that it's the trtUser field which is the set value. However, I can't find out how to set that to another value than 1.

Any hints or tips would be appreciated

Ok, found it myself. I added the line

<fieldval field="trtUser" value="10"/>

to the attributes in the things_attributes-file.

That, however, leads me to another question: I now added that line to all the attributes, but what if I wanted to say that ALL attributes start at a certain level?

In traits.str, find the Traits component, and add this line to the definition of the trtUser field:

defvalue="10"

However, skills, derived attributes, and everything else based off the trait component will also get that same default value, so I don't think you actually want to go with this, and will have to stick with the attribute-by-attribute definition that you found.
 
Yupp, I found that after a while, but as you said, it didn't work as I hoped for. For instance, point costs wasn't updated as expected, so I went back to the attribute for attribute.
