TTS Scripting, need help with Lua (Beginner)

[Kaija]

Hello there,

So i'm trying to implement a function from a mod, into another mod and i just cant wrap my head around it, i dont know, but it doesnt sound that hard to do.

so these are the two mods im working with:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1124124634
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1135358272

What i'm trying to do is, implement the "Lock" function that exists in the "Better Notecards" Mod, into the Character Sheet Template, so that you have one button you can click, and all textfields getting locked, a thing that would be more awesome to add the multiple pages function, but thats not the main point.So if anyone has any idea or can help me, that would be awesome.Thanks for checking my post :)

Uploaded The Scripts of both mods on Pastebin for easy access.

I really appreciate your help!, but i'm not sure i understand how i can lock und unlock the textfields.

it locks other stuff but sadly not the test fields i want to Lock.

Hello, i'm really sorry i dont know much about scripting i have now this code:

		local func
        if i == 1 then
            func = function() click_checkboxE(i, buttonnumber) end
        else
            func = function() click_checkbox(i, buttonNumber) end
        end
		self.setVar(funcName, func)
        self.createInput({
            input_function = funcName,
            function_owner = self,
            label          = data.label,
            alignment      = data.alignment,
            position       = data.pos,

            value          = data.value,
        })
		spawnedButtonCount = spawnedButtonCount + 1
    end
end

but i does not really work.

If it now would revert the change you are trying to do, maybe after you click the checkbox again, then it would be perfect.

[Finaryman]

i don't like these button types anyway because they don't allow controlling who clicked.

xml type is better, because u can control visibility and clickability seperatetly

[Kaija]

Thank you so much thats exactly what i wanted!

[Ermitaum]

This is too complex for my small monkey brain.

just take from my first post (also last post)
