OK--new problem. I've used tweaks quite a bit to render options for items.
Because the tweaks often have descriptive text that is the same each time it
is taken, I've added the "zfut" attribute to the tweaks, and created an
option to match them to, so that the information is rendered as a footnote.
HOWEVER--the one downside I've discovered to this is as follows (referencing
Inquisitor file I'm creating):
An item, like "bionic eyes", can have tweaks. One of those tweaks might be
"Motion Tracker Auspex". Here's how it's set up:
the Item Bionic Eyes has a "tweaks applicable" of "AusMotio" set to "cost",
meaning it can be variably selected.
the Tweak "AusMotio" (Motion Tracker Auspex) has the attribute
"zfut:AusMotio" to render the text about the motion tracker into an option
footnote.
When I print my roster, the space next to "bionic eyes", which would
normally display information about the eyes (i.e. what tweaks are selected)
is blank. In my footnotes, I see "Motion Tracker Auspex".
Now--the problem comes in b/c I could have a Motion Tracker Auspex that is
NOT part of a bionic eye, and so when I see it in my footnotes, I don't
necessarily know what it's related to.
Is there any way that I can render a tweak as a footnote (using zfut) but
still have it show up in what is essentially the "Report" field of the item
itself, so that I can see, for the item "bionic eye", that I've selected
"motion tracker auspex"?
I've tried various things, none of which would work. Other tweaks seem to
appear, some don't.
If you want to try it and test it out: I'm putting a new version of the file
out there--1.4 (for some reason all of the files on the armybuilder folder
have disappeared, so I put a copy out in "gw-inquisitor" instead). I've
added "Magos Delphan Gruss", a special character. Open a new roster, and
add Delphan. Then print. You SHOULD see "Hellfire Shells (10)" listed for
"Shot SElector Stubber". You WILL see them auto-selected as an option for
that item, but they won't print on that item's line with the other tweaks.
It does print the generic "Hellfire Shell" description at the bottom.
Help...
