Hey, sorry for rezing an older thread but I figured it made sense.
1) Thank you Trenloe for all your hard work.
2) On the wiki, in the images, the automation tag is visible. Although I modified the automation tag within the XML I do not see this on my screen. Is there a setting or something I can toggle on in order to modify within the GUI itself?
EDIT: I found the answer by rereading the wiki page, sorry about that.
3) I also added the automation tag to a lookup entry (in an attempt to automate a heritage, to see what would happen). I used...
<automation type="string">dbnumber:hp.misc:+2</automation>
4) I didn't know if there was a way for me to get a list of approved/functional tags currently in the system or if I need to piecemeal it. I ask because it's a lot easier for me work with XML than it is for me to work with the GUI.
Thank you so much.Last edited by DaddyNugget; February 2nd, 2021 at 23:54. Reason: Found answer for #2

2) For the Wiki page: "This experimental functionality adds a new field to the Feat record: "Automation". By default this is not visible, it will only appear in a feat record if the Campaign Option "Experimental Development" -> "Show Ability Automation Field" is set to "On", the default if "Off". Note that even with the option set to "Off" the underlying functionality remains the same - you just can't view the "Automation" field in a Feat record."
3) Did you add it to the Lookup data record or the underlying lookup data feature record? Not all records have automation enabled.
4) I'm not sure what you're asking here.Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

2) I edited original post after re-reading the wiki (before I saw your reply) my mistake. Thank you.
3) I added it to the heritage feature child within the Lookup Data parent tag.
<lookup>
<heritagefeature>
<automation>
When I added a third heritage feature (by using the + symbol while editing the list) it added a 'id-00001' tag not 'heritagefeature3' tag. Is this intended?
4) I didn't know if there was a list of approved / known tags. I've been cloning races and things in order to see what tags exist so it's easier for me to homebrew a mod. I have been trying to put together an XSD file for myself and it would give me a leg up if there was something I could reference instead of just piece-mealing it. If not, no big deal was just a side question.

When you create a new child record in the FG GUI it will get a name of id-XXXXX - where xxxxx is a sequential number starting at 00001. Some SmiteWorks parsing tools will create the child record with a name based off the record. FG handles it the same - as long as the child tag name is unique in the child scope. So the name of a child node doesn’t really matter.
