Hide or rearrange resource tracking entries on iPad?

[SpaceJake]

I'm referring to the "Abilities to Activate & Resources Used" pane, in the lower left of the "Play" tab on the iPad.

There's a lot of noise here that I'd like to get rid of. For example, I very, very rarely need to keep track of how many times per day I use Armor Attunement, from Unchained's Auto-Bonus Progression rules. On the other hand, I'm constantly selecting and unselecting Point-Blank Shot.

Is there any way to hide entries? Or just reorder them, so the things I care about are at the top of the list?

I don't mind using the editor, if that's what it takes. But sticking with the Armor Attunement example (cABPArmAtt), it's a non-core Thing, so it seems like it can't be modified. Sure, there's a checkbox for "Show in Tracked Resource List" taunting me ... but I can't uncheck it because it's non-core. Gah! Is there some sneaky way to Replace Thing ID for non-core things?

If not, I suppose one workaround is to create new items that duplicate the ones I care about, prefixing their names with exclamation points so that they come first in the alphabetical ordering. Still, that's a rather ugly hack. Anyone have better ideas?

Thanks. I'm relatively new to this.

You should be able to just add a helper tag to the item in order to do that. There are several adjustments already in the community pack for that.

Thanks, Minous. I didn't see anything in the community pack for hiding abilities or their trackers. (Any pointers?)

I figured out a way to do it with a custom adjustment, copied from the "Ability Disable & Hide" adjustment. I just changed the code to not disable, and to only hide the tracker:

~ If we're not enabled, get out now
doneif (field[pIsOn].value = 0)

~ If nothing chosen, get out now
doneif (field[pChosen].ischosen = 0)

~ Hide the tracker and statblock for the chosen ability
perform field[pChosen].chosen.assign[Hide.Tracker]
perform field[pChosen].chosen.assign[Hide.Statblock]

That works.

But if there's an existing way to do this, that's certainly preferable! At least, it saves the step of putting a new .user file on my iPad.

Search for the term "Tracker" in the adjustments

Im seeing for class, feat and items

Thanks. I saw those, but they don't include all abilities in their dropdown menus. For instance, Armor Attunement is missing. Looks like the problem is that not all have a Helper.ShowSpec tag, which the drop-down box filters on.

I'll probably just go with my above solution for now. I'll look into contributing it to the community pack, since I do think a version that includes all possible abilities is useful ... if harder to navigate due to a very long drop-down box.

For instance, Armor Attunement is missing. Looks like the problem is that not all have a Helper.ShowSpec tag, which the drop-down box filters on.

Because without Helper.ShowSpec nothing gets displayed on the In-Play tab. Hence the reason I use that to filter on.

Took me a bit to find this armor attunment thing cause you never mentioned which book you are dealing with. But its from Pathfinder Unchained and its a Class Ability that is NOT actually attached to a Class. This is why the "Class Ability, Remove Tracker" is not displaying it in the dropdown. That adjustment is specifically looking for a SpecSource.cHelp? set of tags.

I have changed the adjustment to now also look for the SpecSource.AutoBonPro tag source. This will be in the next release of the Pack.

Awesome. Thanks, ShadowChemosh!

(And not to split hairs, but I did mention Unchained in the first post. You know, buried in the middle and surrounded by my confused questions. Should have been easy to find.

Yep you are correct. I admit I often "skim" postings which I should stop doing.
