Non repeatable group

[IrmatDen]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm working on implementing an NPC generator based on UNE (from Conjecture games). In there, there's a table from which we can't pull twice from the same column ("NPC Motivation", contains 5 columns of 20 elements). Three pulls are recommended.

I was planning on having a group for each column ("Motivation1to20", "Motivation21to40", etc...), and a non repeating group "Motivation" to pull from at the root of my script. Unfortunately, it seems that I can't get the '!' group tag to work in this module. Is it implemented? Or is it planned?

In the Functions list of your module (here: https://github.com/klaas1979/tablesmith-like/blob/v1.12.1/FUNCTIONS.md#loop), I can see this function under "Not implemented" "Used (Used already)" Is this the technical term for the '!' group tag?

Describe the solution you'd like To keep consistent with the description, here's what would be required:

:Start
1,{Loop~3,[MotivationNouns]}{Reset~MotivationNouns}

;!MotivationNouns
1,[MotivationNouns1to20]
1,[MotivationNouns21to40]
1,[MotivationNouns41to60]
1,[MotivationNouns61to80]
1,[MotivationNouns81to100]

;MotivationNouns1to20
1,wealth
2,hardship

;MotivationNouns21to40
1,the wealthy
2,the populous

;MotivationNouns41to60
1,dreams
2,discretion

;MotivationNouns61to80
1,gluttony
2,lust

;MotivationNouns81to100
1,advice
2,propaganda

Describe alternatives you've considered Not sure if there are alternatives to this. Maybe a ton of scripting to handle lockouts, and that assumes that a variable can be a sequence compatible with a Lockout call; quite a longshot.

Back from holiday will lock into it in the next days/weeks

Thank you :)

There was an error in handling non repeating groups from group calls. It should be fixed now and work as expected.

It works as expected, but only as long as the non-repeataing group is in the same journal entry. I'll create a separate ticket.
