* Add & Close: Always shown for tables. Adds the current selection and closes the purchase form.
* Customize: Only shown if the component for the table specifies addbehavior="customize".
 
If the thing you select has a gizmo with a form specified, adding the thing opens the form for you to edit the gizmo.

1. Stacking

The stacking behavior droplist is automatically shown or hidden by Hero Lab. It is shown if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

  1. The purchase form was NOT summoned from a chooser (choosers can only select one item at a time).
  2. The currently selected thing IS stackable.
  3. The currently selected thing is NOT info-only.
  4. A "buy panel" (see 2., below) IS being displayed.
  5. The portal IS flagged as allowstack="yes" (the default).

If it's not being displayed when you think it should be, make sure that the thing you selected is stackable. A pick may not be stackable if it's flagged as stacking="never" or its compset is set to forbid stacking.

2. Buy Template

3. Add Buttons

A number of buttons can be shown here:

  • Close: Always shown. Closes the form without adding anything.
  • Select: Only shown for choosers. Add the current selection to the hero, replacing any previous selection.
  • Add: Shown for tables, unless they specify ismultiadd="no" in their definition. Adds the current selection without closing the purchase form.
  • Add & Close: Always shown for tables. Adds the current selection and closes the purchase form.
  • Customize: Only shown if the component for the table specifies addbehavior="customize".

If the thing you select has a gizmo with a form specified, adding the thing opens the form for you to edit the gizmo. However, this does not happen if the component for the table specifies addbehavior="customize". In this case, the form is only opened if the "Customize" button is pressed. Pressing "Add" or "Add & Close" adds the thing without customizing it.
