Multiple string results in one field, from different dropdown selections... Please help

[Uchristopherd]

Hi again,

I'm learning, slowly but surely...

I'm awfully stuck again.

so I have this

// Place all prepopulation data into a single data structure

var weapondata = { Scythe:{ ST: "2",

                        RN: "ML",

                        Special: "Savage, Cumbersome, No shield WIU",

                        glorycost: "25",

                        WeaponAB: [

  {text: "Savage: ", fontWeight: 700},

  {text: "On a successful ST roll, every 2 Success Stages you achieve does +1 Damage, instead of every 3 Success Stages \n",},

  {text: "Cumbersome: ", fontWeight: 700},

  {text: "This Weapon may only make one attack per round",},

  ]},

Ulfbert:{ ST: "3",

                        RN: "ML",

                        Special: "Lethal",

                        glorycost: "65",

                        WeaponAB: [

  {text: "Lethal: ", fontWeight: 700},

  {text: "On a successful ST roll, each Success Stage you achieve does +1 Damage, instead of every 3 Success Stages",},

  ]},

Brann_Atgeir:{ ST: "3",

                        RN: "MR",

                        Special: "No shield while in use, Fire",

                        glorycost: "20",

  WeaponAB: [

  {text: "Fire(0): ", fontWeight: 700},

  {text: "A model hit by this attack receives a Fire marker, When this model activates, you may spend 1 AP to roll RS +2 versus the Fire ST to attempt to put out the fire. You can repeat this action until you successfully put out the Fire or run out of AP.If you succeed, remove the Fire marker. If a Fire marker remains on a model after its activation ends, you must roll RS versus Fire ST or suffer +1 Damage",},

  ]},

function SetweaponsValues(cWeapons)

{

  this.getField("ST").value = weapondata[cWeapons].ST;

  this.getField("RN").value = weapondata[cWeapons].RN;

  this.getField("Special").value = weapondata[cWeapons].Special;

  this.getField("glorycost").value = weapondata[cWeapons].glorycost;

  this.getField("WeaponAB").richValue = weapondata[cWeapons].WeaponAB;

}

function Setweapons1Values(cWeapons1)

{

  this.getField("STA").value = weapondata[cWeapons1].ST;

  this.getField("RNA").value = weapondata[cWeapons1].RN;

  this.getField("SpecialA").value = weapondata[cWeapons1].Special;

  this.getField("glorycostA").value = weapondata[cWeapons1].glorycost;

  this.getField("WeaponABA").richValue = weapondata[cWeapons1].WeaponAB;

}

function Setweapons2Values(cWeapons2)

{

  this.getField("STB").value = weapondata[cWeapons2].ST;

  this.getField("RNB").value = weapondata[cWeapons2].RN;

  this.getField("SpecialB").value = weapondata[cWeapons2].Special;

  this.getField("glorycostB").value = weapondata[cWeapons2].glorycost;

  this.getField("WeaponABB").richValue = weapondata[cWeapons2].WeaponAB;

}

I have 3 drop downs

weapons

weapons1

weapons2

I have 3 fields that fill from value WeaponAB

WeaponAB

WeaponABA

WeaponABB

And one other field that i want to be filled by whatever's being returned in the above fields

I was trying a custom calculation

event.value = (this.getField("WeaponAB").value + this.getField("WeaponABA").value + this.getField("WeaponABB").value);

But it just returned way too much and no rich text formatting no line breaks

This might be the long way around...

is it possible to just return all strings to one field keeping rich text formatting and line breaks, or am I asking too much?

Thanks for any help

I really do appreciate it

Any suggestions?

You need to combine all the spans from the current richValue properties to a new array and then apply it to the target field's richValue property as well.

Sorry, I don't understand, can you explain more?

[try67]

These values are not plain strings that you can concatenate to a new string. They are Span objects, located inside of an array.

To merge them to a new value you need take all of these objects and place them into a new array.
