Initiative up and down (Idea) #5

Closed Flintwyrm closed 3 years ago

Flintwyrm commented 3 years ago

I have and Idea. is it possible to have actors in the combat tracker have up and down arrows you can click to easily move initiative around? Almost like an upvote downvote thing that changes the value of their initiative number so that it changes their order.

Just so I understand you correctly, you are not requesting increase/decrease arrows in the input box to add/subtract 1 to the initiative (like a standard html number input) but you want buttons that change the initiative to be one more (or less) than the "next" combatant? So for example if you had 3 combatants at initiative 3, 7 & 10 pressing "up arrow" on the middle should give it an initiative of 11?

Yeah this ("buttons that change the initiative to be one more (or less) than the "next" combatant") Though I could see there being a problem if an actor has 1 as their initiative number.

What game are you using this for? Is the initiative value important or do you just need to be able to order the list of combatants manually?

Flintwyrm commented 3 years ago

LANCER RPG. the initiative is Player > enemy > player > enemy until all actors have gone. And players can choose between themselves what order they want to do this.

wake42 commented 3 years ago

So what you really want is to be able to rearrange combatants (drag and drop maybe) without worrying about the actual initiative value at all. That is a bit outside of my original scope for this module, but I will keep this issue open for now and maybe come back to some variation of it later.

Thank you for taking your time to talk about it. :)
