A Location-group property stores the key of a Location 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 property drop-down list from which a group can be chosen by name.

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 location-group 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".
  • Tick the "Mandatory" box if you want this property to always be selected.
  • 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.
