Summary: User input for feat target

Initial Comment:
Original Request by Barak:
______________________________________________
I'd like to add a bit more functionality to the CHOOSE
tag. :)

There are certain situations where there is an object
to a feat and the
player can choose anything his deviant little mind can
come up with, so it's
pretty much impossible to code the choices beforehand.

Usually I handle this with a SA:<featname>
____________________ so they can
handwrite their choice in, but that's an annoyance to
the user and makes the
output sheet look messy.

I'd like to propose the CHOOSE:USERINPUT tag which 
when
activated (by
choosing the feat it's embedded in) would pop up a
dialog box asking for the
user's entry. This would then be put in all the
appropriate places
(LIST,%LIST,CHOICE,%CHOICE,whatever) for use in other
tags in the feat.

Then the feat list can at least have the target(s) of
the feat printed and
the SA could also.

I'm not married to the tag name, but I do want the
functionality.

Comments?

Barak
___________________________________________________
Please implement as follows:

CHOOSE:USERINPUT|x|TITLE="y"
where x is the number of inputs the chooser should 
ask for (1 being default)
and y is a string that is displayed as the title of 
the input box
This is a feats/abilities only tag that when 
activated (by choosing the ability it's embedded in) 
will pop up a dialog box asking for the user's entry 
via keyboard input. The input should then be usable 
like a normal CHOOSE selection, i.e. Show up as a 
feat's selection or be used in the places that take 
(LIST, %LIST, CHOICE, %CHOICE,whatever) for use in 
other tags of the same ability line, like SA: or it's 
replacement DESC.

This is not only a CMP request, but also much needed 
for our files, as it should allow us to finally set 
up a solution for Modern allegiances.

Initially assigning to James, so he'll know about it.

James, I've bumped this up to 7 as per Frank's/Barak's request, can it be
done in time for 5.12? - K
