Ruleset Wizard - The new Ruleset development environment

[greybeardgunner70]

Ok, I am looking/trying that.

onFilter(w) -- is (w) a standard name or do I need to put the name of my windowlist or filter in place of w? And then replace "w" throughout the script?

Off the top of my head:

you have hidden field for: inventory_filter_weapon which is set to weapon
This is the text that we are using to match against the control: item_type which has 3 possible values called weapon, armor, equipment (may vary in yours)

so if on your weapon_list windowclass (mine would nrmally be called something like weapon_detail) you create hidden controls: new_filter, carried (0,1,2) and item_type (weapon, armor, equipment), #2 and #3 will fill automatically from the source record. make them not invisible until you know they are working. on each of those controls add something like:

function onInit()
  onValueChanged()
end

function onValueChanged()
  local nodeItem = window.getDatabaseNode();
  local sCarried = DB.getValue(nodeItem, "carried", '0');
  local sType = DB.getValue(nodeItem, "item_type", '');
  window.new_filter.setValue(sType .. sCarried);
end

now change my earlier instruction of

Set the source of the weapons list to .inventorylist which is the same source as your inventory
Create a hidden string control called: inventory_filter_weapon with a default value of: weapon
Filter field type: Control
Filter on field name: item_type (at least this is where I record weapon/armor/equipment in my rulesets)
Filter on field type: Control

to something like:

Set the source of the weapons list to .inventorylist which is the same source as your inventory
Create a hidden string control called: inventory_filter_weapon2 with a default value of: weapon2
Filter field type: Control
Filter on field name: new_filter
Filter on field type: Control

Note: I renamed inventory_filter_weapon to inventory_filter_weapon2 because setting a value with default only works on brand new records.

I hope that this makes sense and I hope my code works... Im at work and not near my computer.... this is from memory and that is risky business...

This means you stay more within the RSW environment than you might with Baynes code...

That is just a script you place on the windowlist control. Your control name goes in place of type and carried. Carried should not change. Do you know what controls you are trying to filter? (Other than carried)

This is what I have so far (see images).
windowlist:

weapon2 string:

new_filter control:

This is the error I get:
[5/19/2023 9:27:07 AM] [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "C:charsheet_notes:new_filter"]:9: attempt to call field 'setValue' (a nil value)
[5/19/2023 9:27:07 AM] [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "C:charsheet_notes:carried"]:9: attempt to call field 'setValue' (a nil value)
[5/19/2023 9:27:07 AM] [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "C:charsheet_notes:item_type"]:9: attempt to call field 'setValue' (a nil value)

Do I place the name of the control in Custom Class Name as well?
What is the "setValue" that the control should refer to? I am wanting to filter weapons that are "Equipped" I tried sEquipped and sCarried, same error.

controls should all be strings

I shall leave you guys to it but if you want to just try the below. If your already scripting on the windowlist not sure why not just use onFilter directly?

Use this on the windowlist make sure you have the controls present in the windowclass for the windowlist.

function onFilter(w)
if w.item_type.getValue() == "#insert the word your filtering from item_type here#" and w.carried.getValue() == 2 then
return true;
end
return false;
end

[greybeardgunner70]

OK, made those changes.
weapon_filter2.PNG

5 controls top to bottom:
1. "weapon" is the type filter for the windowlist
2. "weapon2" is the string filter for the new script. (I am not sure I set the filter up correctly. No filter option on a string so I created one in custom properties.)
3. "new filter"
4. "weapon" is the item_type string with "weapon" as the default text.
5. "carried"

The last 3 have the following script:
function onInit()
onValueChanged()
end

function onValueChanged()
local nodeItem = window.getDatabaseNode();
local sCarried = DB.getValue(nodeItem, "carried", '0');
local sType = DB.getValue(nodeItem, "item_type", '');
window.new_filter.setValue(sType .. sCarried);
end

My understanding of the process:
This windowlist grabs items labeled "weapon" from .inventorylist
The script should run when a weapon (item_type) item's value for "carried" (carried) changes.

disregard this post, answered the question I had added here.

OK Gunnar some of my instruction was a little off

Attached is an extension and a RSW project.
It creates a CoreRPG extension called GunnarsChallenge

load it up in CoreRPG
create a character called Bob
create two items called Axe and Bow
add them to Bobs inventory

For the sake of this experiment we dont have item types in CoreRPG so I have used the Notes field
If you write Weapon (case sensitive - and I used Title Case because 5E does) in there and you equip the item it will show up in the Weapons list
If you unequip or change Weapon to something else it will disappear from the Weapons list
