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.

If the "Location of the character" property is set to "On character", then the "On which character?" property becomes available, which is a character-list.

Testing the property

In the following example we are testing if the referenced object is a member of the group of "Polishable" objects.

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 "Character 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. In the example above we have restricted the list to only show female characters. This will prevent this property from being set to any non-female character.
  • 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. The example has been restricted so that this property only appears on the property page of male characters.
