Articy Forum

Hi all.

I am working with articy Draft for a short time now.
And I have looked the tutorials, but I haven't found a solution for my problem yet.
Maybe one of you, is able to help me or post a link to the solution.

Problem:
I am looking for a "following dropdownmenu" for my Charakter template.
For example:
I want to generate a character template. Inside the template, I will be able to choose the characters class (Maybe Knight or Wizzard or Thief)
After I choose that a following dropdownmenu show me the specification.
for example I choose Knight, I can choose a specification like Guard, Barbar, Templer, etc.
if I choose Magician, I can choose Wizzard, Necromancer, Healer, etc.
What I want to say is, I only can choose Knightspezification if I choose Knight, Magicianspecification for Magician and so on.
I can't choose Knight and make a Necromancer specification.
I hope I am able to make myself clear. My englishbrainpart is a little bit unused at the moment.

Is that possible to connect the 2 dropdownmenu class and specifikation?

Hey MrNiceKai,

sorry, no this kind of dependency or inheritance is not supported by articy. If you want to divide your settings or class related specifications, you can use multiple templates for each character class. This is the easiest way to implement your idea in articy.

Example:
-> Template: Barbar
     -> Feature: Character Infos (such as name, background story, etc.)
     -> Feature: Knight Specifications
     -> Feature: Barbar Specifications

-> Template: Templer
     -> Feature: Character Infos (such as name, background story, etc.)
     -> Feature: Knight Specifications
     -> Feature: Templer Specifications

-> Template: Wizzard
     -> Feature: Character Infos (such as name, background story, etc.)
     -> Feature: Magician Specifications
     -> Feature: Wizzard Specifiactions

-> Template: Necromancer
     -> Feature: Character Infos (such as name, background story, etc.)
     -> Feature: Magician Specifications
     -> Feature: Necromancer Specifiactions

Hope the answere helps
