A Location-group-list property stores the key of a Location group.
- The "List" part of the name refers to the drop-down list on the property page of a character, location or object, from which you select the wanted group.
A location group is a separate item in ADRIFT, and consists of a list of all of the locations in the game, from which the members of the group are selected by ticking the box next to them.
A static object which exists in more than one location will have its Initial Location set to "Location Group", which will then activate a Location-group-list drop-down list from which a group can be chosen. This is the "At Location Group" property.
Testing the property
In the following example we are testing if a particular object has its "At Location Group" property set to the group called "doorway hall / front yard".
Creating a new character-list property
Create a new property by clicking the "Add new property" button at the bottom of the Properties tab of a Character, Location, or Object. You can also right-click the open "Properties" folder and select "Add Property", or right-click any other open folder and select "Add new/Property".
- Give the new property a description.
- Ensure that "property of" is correctly set (Characters, Objects or Locations)
- Set the property "Type" to "Location Group List".
- Tick the "Mandatory" box if you want this property to always be selected.
- If you want the drop-down list to only show characters with a certain property, then set the "Restrict by property" and "Restrict by value" fields.
- If you only want this property to appear on the property tab if the item has a particular characteristic, then select the name of a particular property and the value it must have before this property is shown.
