How can I assign multiple values using a radio button?

I'm modifying the GURPS sheet by Muton to better handle ranged combat. What I'm trying to do is allow the user to pick which ammo to use using a radio button. However, only one value can be assigned at once. How can I go about assigning all four attributes to the "in use" attributes?

You can't. Radio buttons are a one option only sort of thing. Could you use checkboxes?

G V. said: You can't. Radio buttons are a one option only sort of thing. Could you use checkboxes? Well, no. They also just do one value at a time, and I need the user to only load one kind of ammo. I know an array is possible, but I don't know how it could be parsed without using javascript.

Can you give an idea of what you're trying to accomplish? I'm guessing you want this to be used as part of roll formula. Could you put a roll button next to each row? Then you would only need to reference the single weapon row which seems like it might be easier. It does mean multiple roll buttons instead but would make it easier in that regard. Does that make sense?

As I understand it, he wants to be able to use for example @{ammo}, @{type}, @{ammo-divisor}, and @{special} in macros/roll buttons, and have those values pull from the row selected by the radio button. Unfortunately, Helmic, the way the attributes system and radio buttons work, that's just not possible. (Assuming my interpretation of your desire is correct.)

You could feed it all into a roll template. Have the value of the radio button be value="{{ammo=@{ammo1}}} {{type=@{ammotype1}}} {{divisor=@{ammo-divisor1}}}...etc" And then for the button roll call your roll template and feed it the radio's value which would feed the roll template all of that row's data.

That's actually pretty clever. This does what I want, though I worry about how I'm going to feed this into API scripts.

Oooh, that may just help me get the text value from a select. I'll have to try later! EDIT: Nevermind. It doesn't allow another input to read the value while the roller reads the text. :(

Mark, if it's all going into a roll template you could replicate the text as a roll table element. <select name="attr_test" /> <option value="{{value1=1}} {{value2=2}} {{text=Test Select}} " checked="checked"> Test Select </option>
