Change Message Shortcut

[Rink27]

Under a database page, such as Skills, there's a box where you input what message is displayed when you use the skill.
There are three shortcut options: casts, does, uses.


Is it possible to edit what the shortcut does? For example, I'd like that pressing "*does*!" actually changes the text to " is using the %1!"

Almost, but not quite right, I think. The 'shortcut' is only for use if that is, indeed, the text you want, instead of the text already displayed. If you don't want any of the texts proposed by these 'shortcuts', just type your own phrase in the two-line text box provided, and ignore the 'shortcuts'. The only advantage to them is that they're already conforming to standard syntax, using the '%1' symbols to represent the Skill name, and leading with a 'Space' character. If your custom text conforms to this same syntax, you'l be fine. It's possible to have a different text for each Skill; they can all be customised in this way.


Hope this helps.

You cannot change the editor in any way.


If you want to use a different phrase multiple times, just copy it from a text file and paste it there
