create new list item from lua script
I am trying to add an item to the character's inventory list from a script that is not within the campaigns folder.
Does anyone have an example of how this is done?
It seems like createWindow() is used in campaign/scripts but that doesn't work in regular scripts.
I have an idea to look for maximum ID # in inventorylist and then title the new node as that number + 1, but this seems like an over-complicated approach.

Yep, use <windowlist>.createWindow()

The key here is that you'll need to get the instance of the windowlist control to be able to use that API command.
It is often better to create a new DB child, which will have a similar effect, but can be better going direct to the database (and a repeatable location once you have nodeChar) than worrying about working out how to navigate the GUI hierarchy to get the windowlist control instance.Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

When you use DB.createChild() it will automatically add a new id# in the sequence. So example:
Say we want to script in adding a new character sheet, but want it to have a certain charisma bonus each time. So the DB in dot notation would look like this, charsheet.#.abilities.charisma.bonus. The '#' is the id# of each character sheet in the campaign/module structure. Since we don't need to assign it a name FG assigns it a id# in sequence. So if I go to the root and then run DB.createChild() on charsheet, it will then create nodes with the id# sequence (id-00001 .. id-00002 .. id-00003). So yes, it will add it in automatically and you see this behavior across the DB within the campaign as FG doesn't create meaningful names for list nodes.Dominic Morta
