Help:Tracker

[[File:Tracker4.jpg|thumb|right|Display]][[File:Tracker2.jpg|thumb|right|Finding]][[File:Tracker3.jpg|thumb|right|Editing]]'''Tracker''' refers to the display portion a two-fold system for managing active, open Scenes '''and''' seeing how expenditures ([[Glamour]], [[Mana]], [[Vitae]], [[Willpower]]) are made in Scenes.  The other half of the system is [[Help:Power Icons|Power Icons]].   '''Tracker''' is simply a BBCode with your character's name and venue:

<code>[trackermini="Vampire"]Twist[/trackermini]</code>

The above was used to generate the output in the image.   With the two variables '''venue''' and '''forum account name''', the '''trackermini''' BBCODE lists all of the Scenes:
* Scenes in in-character public areas only (no OOC forums, Social Groups, or Comms)
* The dots/pips listed beside each Scene are a running total of Vitae (red) and Willpower (white) spent in each Scene.  These are dependent upon the [[Help:Power Icons|Power Icons]] being used.


===Display===
'''Tracker''' should be displayed in the final dot/pip/tab of the [[Help:Minisheets|Minisheet]].   When a forum account is created, it's automatically populated with sample data (the same used here) which should be changed to reflect your specific character.  It's very important that the name used matches the forum account name; otherwise, tracker won't work.   
* If you use a [[Character Accounts|Character Account]] to post, use that name.
* If you do not use a Character Account, use your '''main forum name''' -- copy and paste '''Tracker''' for each venue you have a character in.


===Editing===
In the main navigation bar, the USERNAME dropdown has a link to the page where '''tracker''' can be found.  Alternately, a link is on every '''minisheet'''.  If a member is not using character accounts and has multiple characters, simply copying and pasting the code will work (as in the picture to the right).




Usage of [[Help:Power Icons|Power Icons]] and [[Help:Tracker|Tracker]] is how Scenes and Expenditures are tracked on Edge of Darkness, and mandatory.
