54 ■ Export Formats Hero Designer 6th Edition
As mentioned earlier, containers that represent
general ability categories such as:
’
automatically loop through all abilities of that type,
one at a time.
Hero Designer also has several containers which
give you greater control over such loops.
To specify the item which begins the loop, use
the container:
For example, the following means “Start with the
10th item in the loop:”:
10
Similarly, the following container specifies which
item ends the loop:
For example the following means “Stop with the
20th item in the loop:”:
20
These containers let you create Export Formats
that place sections of an ability list in different
places of the exported file.

FORMATS
Combat record Export Formats are a special case
of Export Format. As the name indicates, they are
used for exporting combat records, as described in

just like regular Export Formats with one exception.
They have a special container:
which is a looping container that loops through
each character specified to be included in the
combat record. Within this container, you can place
any appropriate tag or container. The following
containers are particularly appropriate for including
a table that shows which characters act in which
phases:
Once you have finished editing or creating a
combat record Export Format, be sure to save the
template with a .hcr extension. Only files with a .hcr
extension are recognized as combat record Export
Formats.
