tables inside of tables?

[barrelv]

I'm in the final stages of putting together my character sheet for Iron Kingdoms and I'm getting knee-deep in Gizmos for the Meckanica Armor and Weapons system that Iron Kingdom uses.

Right now I'm to display the info of one of these custom weapons on the character sheet, and not sure how. I know how to display all the armors, for example, but then how do you, for the one custom armor, display all of the gizmo specific things?

Some values are static, like the Housing thing and Capacitor thing, or the cost and power ratings. Others are dynamic, like the list of RunePlate things.

so how do you go about creating another 'character sheet' inside the character sheet for the gizmos? I don't even know where to start, I feel.

You need to build it using the portals available within the table you're displaying things in.

For this sort of thing in Shadowrun, I generally build up text descriptions of everything and lists of the add-ons and store those in fields on the parent item, and then display those fields' text on the printout.

well that's going to be a right pain in the ass I think there's going to be a lot of foreach and {br} in my future...

Or just learn to set up a procedure to do it for you and then use a function call to bring it up. It doesn't have to be a really long foreach loop.
