Providing a Choice of all Knowledges

[nuku]

So set this field: usrCandid1
to: thingid.skKnowNobl|thingid.skKnowRel

Result, field with nothing in it. I also have a usrCandid2 with the same content, also an empty selection box. This is copied and pasted from another trait, making it troubling indeed.

Ideas?

Find that option on the original - look above and below it - are there any other, related settings, and have you copied them all?

Also, have you added these knowledges to your test character?

I... That worked, but I feel like it shouldn't have. Do you really have to add knowledges to your character list first before modifying them? Is that intended?

 

[Mathias]

How else can you record and display changes on a non-existent thing?

I thought it would exist... just not displayed. Every day we learn something! I learned several things today. Thanks again!

... Hm. Apparently a field can only be so long? How do I specify all the knowledges?

This way makes "logical" sense from the point of view of programming. From the point of view of a UI it does not. So don't feel bad as this is just a "unique" feature of how HL works. At least its consistent so that once you get use to its easy to figure stuff out.

Think about other examples in Pathfinder - can you think of something that selects any knowledge skill? Take a look at it - there's a way to do a search for all knowledges without having to list each one by Id.

Or, have you explored the videos and other resources yet? Have you found out how to debug tags? If so, use that technique to figure out a tag that all knowledge skills have in common.

Found it! Helper.SkCatKnow

I feel like a real slow person hacking at this.

thing.skSpellcr|thing.KnowArca

Just two things, both valid things so far I know, but nothing shows up in the dropdown.

Placed as a value for usrCandid1

Oops, thingid, not thing. Alright! Spellcraft shows up at least, let's dig deeper...

And... skKnowArca. I'm getting better. Fixed it on my own for a change.
