Generating UID's?

I am working with an existing character sheet, building an import for it. The character sheet is creating grouped blocks for skills to store various attributes, formulae, etc. about a skill. Example: {"name":"repeating_skills_-MWLlegkY4JeIY3v0dHj_skill_name","current":"Persuasion","max":"","_id":"-MWLlg0qDrMcBPapAyGc","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-MWKbE-g9iyRtI8TN9_J"}, {"name":"repeating_skills_-MWLlegkY4JeIY3v0dHj_skill_roll_formula","current":"&{template:hero6template} {{charname=@{character_name}}}  {{action=@{skill_name}}}  {{roll=[[3d6]]}}  {{target=8}} {{base=8}}","max":"","_id":"-MWLlg2q6SKtgnRGAF5F","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-MWKbE-g9iyRtI8TN9_J"}, {"name":"repeating_skills_-MWLlegkY4JeIY3v0dHj_skill_char","current":"8-","max":"","_id":"-MWLlhMr83gUJO6sCFQ_","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-MWKbE-g9iyRtI8TN9_J"}, {"name":"repeating_skills_-MWLlegkY4JeIY3v0dHj_skill_has_increase","current":0,"max":"","_id":"-MWLlhOpOR_nou_aRwjy","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-MWKbE-g9iyRtI8TN9_J"}, {"name":"repeating_skills_-MWLlegkY4JeIY3v0dHj_skill_has_roll","current":1,"max":"","_id":"-MWLlhOrlfMPJ-UxjajE","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-MWKbE-g9iyRtI8TN9_J"}, {"name":"repeating_skills_-MWLlegkY4JeIY3v0dHj_skill_roll_show","current":"8-","max":"","_id":"-MWLlhOv9KuH5n8GOp6a","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-MWKbE-g9iyRtI8TN9_J"}, {"name":"repeating_skills_-MWLlegkY4JeIY3v0dHj_skill_roll_target","current":8,"max":"","_id":"-MWLlhOxEkvuE2TGc3ll","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-MWKbE-g9iyRtI8TN9_J"}, {"name":"repeating_skills_-MWLmB2tLZm45hmYOQ8-_skill_name","current":"KS: Psionics","max":"","_id":"-MWLmHRAjUXDzN8sac9Q","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-MWKbE-g9iyRtI8TN9_J"}, {"name":"repeating_skills_-MWLmB2tLZm45hmYOQ8-_skill_roll_formula","current":"&{template:hero6template} {{charname=@{character_name}}}  {{action=@{skill_name}}}  {{roll=[[3d6]]}}  {{target=13}} {{base=9}} {{stat=3}} {{lvls=1}}","max":"","_id":"-MWLmHT1HFpILLvWP3-9","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-MWKbE-g9iyRtI8TN9_J"}, {"name":"repeating_skills_-MWLmB2tLZm45hmYOQ8-_skill_has_increase","current":1,"max":"","_id":"-MWLmHUlSfXSPMlq7d-v","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-MWKbE-g9iyRtI8TN9_J"}, {"name":"repeating_skills_-MWLmB2tLZm45hmYOQ8-_skill_has_roll","current":1,"max":"","_id":"-MWLmHUnB_TBkvUgi06K","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-MWKbE-g9iyRtI8TN9_J"}, {"name":"repeating_skills_-MWLmB2tLZm45hmYOQ8-_skill_roll_show","current":"13-","max":"","_id":"-MWLmHUo2QQuMpdA0cxt","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-MWKbE-g9iyRtI8TN9_J"}, {"name":"repeating_skills_-MWLmB2tLZm45hmYOQ8-_skill_roll_target","current":13,"max":"","_id":"-MWLmHUpvB3hQWDGDrEN","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-MWKbE-g9iyRtI8TN9_J"}, {"name":"repeating_skills_-MWLmB2tLZm45hmYOQ8-_skill_char","current":"INT","max":"","_id":"-MWLmHZvJbqWQrT5p82k","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-MWKbE-g9iyRtI8TN9_J"}, {"name":"repeating_skills_-MWLmB2tLZm45hmYOQ8-_skill_increase","current":"0","max":"","_id":"-MWLmJ9DiTs56zd-jrIl","_type":"attribute","_characterid":"-MWKbE-g9iyRtI8TN9_J"}, I am looking to replicate this in my import. I don't think most of it will be a problem, but I noticed they are using a GUID as part of the attribute name to group the related skill information together. How can I create a UID in my javascript code to include into name? - Ernie

Here's the code for that: const generateUUID = (() => { let a = 0; let b = []; return () => { let c = (new Date()).getTime() + 0; let f = 7; let e = new Array(8); let d = c === a; a = c; for (; 0 <= f; f--) { e[f] = "-0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".charAt(c % 64); c = Math.floor(c / 64); } c = e.join(""); if (d) { for (f = 11; 0 <= f && 63 === b[f]; f--) { b[f] = 0; } b[f]++; } else { for (f = 0; 12 > f; f++) { b[f] = Math.floor(64 * Math.random()); } } for (f = 0; 12 > f; f++){ c += "-0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".charAt(b[f]); } return c; }; })(); const generateRowID = () => generateUUID().replace(/_/g, "Z");

Thank you! - E

Be still my heart. A Hero6 game?

timmaugh said: Be still my heart. A Hero6 game? Hopefully a fully functioning character importer from Hero Designer. I have gotten through the characteristics and movement is working for run, swim, vertical and horizontal leap. Skills are on the plate now and once they are done the template will be pretty similar for perks, talents, complications, equipment, combat levels, etc. If you'd like to play with it, critique, offer suggestions, etc. dm me. - E
