Grids¶

Grids are used to contain and layout choices and other visual elements. You may add multiple grids to a section. Grids can have their own conditions and can be transfered between sections. Grids can also be re-ordered within a given section.

How to Create A Grid¶

Step 1: To add a grid to the current section, click the ADD GRID button.

Step 2: Click the "GRID PROPERTIES" button to edit the new grid.

Step 3: View and edit your grid properties.

Grid Properties¶

Here we will just describe what all the properties do, and more.

General¶

Grid Name¶

This is the human readable name you as the creator can use to identify the grid you're working on. While the system will generate a new name on creation of a grid automatically, it is recommended you set an informative name yourself, as this name will be present in some drop-down menus used for moving choices between grids.

Grid Name¶

The name of this grid. The name you assign is used to help you (the creator) identify this grid throughout the system. It is recommend you assign a descriptive and unique title to each of your grids.

Is Selectable?¶

Specify if elements in this grid are selectable. You should set this to FALSE for any grid containing only UI elements, which you do not want to be highlighted by the player. This behavior will automatically be enforced when “Select Max” is set to 0.

Select Max¶

Limit the maximum number of choices in this grid which can be selected.

Select Min¶

Column Span¶

Maximum column span. The number of grid cells per row.

Cell Auto Fit¶

Alters how choices in this grid move. When TRUE, auto-fit will be triggered each time an element is moved, or span is adjusted. Useful for managing simple layouts.

Cell Overlap¶

Alters how choices in this grid move. When TRUE, multiple choices may occupy the same grid cell. Note, you may need to set “Cell Auto Fit” to FALSE for this to function properly. Useful for managing complex layouts.
