Forum:Addition to current creature template
Instead of linking the weapons/shields that certain creatures wield, why not add it to the attacks/weaknesses area of the template? If this goes over well, i would like to make it live. Here are two examples of what it looks like, any suggestions? User:Immortalbob/Sandbox2 User:Immortalbob/Sandbox3
Looks fine to me. My only suggestion would be that if the field is left blank it hides the 'Commonly Wielded Items' title row, since creatures that wield special items are somewhat rare. --An Adventurer 23:53, 4 September 2011 (EST)
I really don't know how to do that, I'm using Template:Sandbox maybe you can take a look? --Immortalbob 00:23, 5 September 2011 (EST)
I don't know either, but I'll poke around in there and try not to break it too bad. --An Adventurer 22:39, 5 September 2011 (EST)
edit: I think I got it working. I left User:Immortalbob/Sandbox2 alone and removed the wielded items info from User:Immortalbob/Sandbox3. It seems to be displaying correctly for me. --An Adventurer 22:46, 5 September 2011 (EST)
Awesome, thanks for the assist. I'm gonna make it live shortly. --Immortalbob 00:02, 6 September 2011 (EST)
I made one other change, linked "Commonly Wielded Items" to Category:Unwieldable & Creature or NPC only Equipment. I tested it on the sandbox template and it displayed fine on User:Immortalbob/Sandbox2, but I added it to the creature template and it isn't displaying. Maybe it takes a bit for the changes to apply to such a widely used template... I'll check back in an hour or so. --An Adventurer 01:30, 6 September 2011 (EST)
Nice, good addition imo. Seems to be working now. Next step, wielded items for npcs...--Immortalbob 05:06, 6 September 2011 (EST)
Another Idea I had was adding a section for what spells the creature casts. Not sure how i want to implement it yet... --Immortalbob 05:08, 6 September 2011 (EST)
