Sorry for opening this noob help thread, but I've looked a lot and could not find any help. How do I add comment text, visible to only me the programmer and not players? I want a skill called "Attack #Boomerang", but I want the boomerang text to be invisible. I thought # were the solution, but it does not work..

Try this one, you can have a different name for the database vs. in the game.

That is the original purpose of the notebox on every database screen - to store comments that are only visible to the developer and not the player.

The notetags only came into use later after some programmers found out how to use that area to store and access data, but the comment option still exists - as you can see by the default comments on skill ID #1 and #2 and State ID #1.

If you want to make some other fields partially invisible, you'll need a plugin because the names and messages are fully visible by default. There is no "comment code" in the database by default.

Oh I was pretty sure there was a way. The plugin suggested by Aloe might come in handy anyway. THanks!
