CT Holder, Owner

[Fenloh]

Hi,

i am having a bit of a problem. I add a player to the CT then all the necessary Nodes are being created, but with no Holder/owner.

If a player logs in and opens the CT a holder Tag for all nodes that the client is allowed to see is added to the nodes.

I do have the problem, that the playerchar itself is not added with the owner tag to the holder. If the player now tries to roll initiative a warning is issued, that he is not the owner of that specific node.

I want to make the correct player the holder and owner of that specific node, once it is entered in the database.

Any suggestions?

Maybe something like this.

in the onInit() function of the CT window, add the following code:

for k,v in ipairs(User.getAllActiveIdentities()) do
  local username = User.getIdentityOwner(v);
  if username then
     for x,y in ipairs(list.getWindows()) do -- check the name of the windowlist in the CT for your ruleset.
        if y.name == v then
            addWatcher("combattracker", username, true); -- check the name of the CT window for your ruleset.
        else
	    addWatcher("combattracker", username, false); -- check the name of the CT Window for your ruleset.
        end
     end
  end
end

Now, add the following function to the same script block.

function addWatcher (sNode, sUser, bOwner)
  local node = DB.findNode(sNode);
  if not node then
	node = DB.createNode(sNode);
  end

  if node then
    if bOwner then
      node.addHolder(sUser, true);
    else
      node.addHolder(sUser, false);
    end	
end

That should add holder tags to the ctwindow database nodes for all connected users, therefore adding read ability to the nodes. It also loops through the CT window entries matching name of character to Identities from GetActiveIdentities and will add ownership rights to the correct entry.

Nope, i dont get it.

first you get all active Identites. which means all active Chars, no matter who the User ist. v is returned r.g as id-0001
For each active Identity you get the Username (e.g. User1), just to see if it is available. (I am not sure if it is even possible to haven an active Identity without a user)

then you get, for each window in the windowlist Combattracker, a windowinstance (y) with y.name you return the stringcontrol (with name and x,y axe and width and height)

then you compare y.name with the v, the id number.

I dont see how that fits, or am i getting it wrong?

The addWatcher is also already in the Nodemanager in the new Ruleset. I can easily adapt it if i add a third variable (ownership). since i set it to "false" if it is not defined it does not change the use of the addWatcher function.

in the combattracker there is a DB node recordname, but it seems that i cannot get to it.

y.link is "WINDOWCONTROL = { nil }
y.link.recordname is nil
y.recordname is nil

how do i get the recordname, which is the charcheet node? from there i can get the owner and if owner and user are the same then i can set the watcher as holder with the ownerflag.

I found a way.

y.link.getTargetDatabaseNode() works.

Strangely there is now another Problem that i am not able to solve.

As you can see below the combattracker node has also a holder, who is the owner. The problem now is, that he is the only owner to the whole tree. I am not sure why the holder is set to Owner....

<combattracker>
<holder name="player" owner="true" />
<id-00002>
<holder name="player" owner="true" />

this is the function i use;

function addOwnerShip()
for k,v in ipairs(User.getActiveUsers()) do
for x,y in ipairs (getWindows()) do
if y.type.getValue() == "pc" then
local nodeOwner = y.link.getTargetDatabaseNode();
local sOwner = nodeOwner.getOwner();
if sOwner == v then
NodeManager.addWatcher("combattracker", v, true);
else
NodeManager.addWatcher("combattracker", v, false);
end
end
end
NodeManager.addWatcher("combattracker_props", v);
end

end

combined with the nodemanager Function

function addWatcher (sNode, sUser, bOwner)
if not bOwner then
bOwner = false
end
DB.addHolder(sNode, sUser, bOwner);
end

Sorry, it is my fault... i am setting the combattracker holder, not that of the id... sigh
