Functions

get_hero_nav_cards

For Template:Hero Navbox on Heroes, individual hero pages like Abrams, and the home page.

Examples

First with debug_mode on, to help visualize what the output's source looks like.

{{#invoke:HeroData/nav|get_hero_nav_cards
|in_herolabs=true
|text_size=11
|card_size=card_size|88
|sticker_size=sticker_size|30
|herolabs_text_size=herolabs_text_size|6
|debug_mode=true
}}

First parameter must be Current or Upcoming

Now with debug_mode defaulted to false (off) to see actual visual output.

{{#invoke:HeroData/nav|get_hero_nav_cards
|in_herolabs=true
|text_size=11
|card_size=88
|sticker_size=30
|herolabs_text_size=6
}}

First parameter must be Current or Upcoming

Parameters

• text_size - Font size of the hero name
• card_size - Size of the hero card
• sticker_size - Size of the Recommended or Hero lab stickers that appear in the top right corner
• herolabs_text_size - Font size of the 'Hero Labs' text that appears for heroes in Hero Labs
• debug_mode - (OPTIONAL) Defaults to false. With true, the output is raw wikitext source that isn't processed, allowing to see more clearly what is ran.

debug_mode is the only optional parameter. All other parameters are required. Template:Hero card2 utilizes this with some default values, see there for suggested values.
