Selectors - osirisOfGit/BG3_Absolutes_Laboratory GitHub Wiki

• If a selector option has multiple checkboxes, like Race, and none of those checkboxes are selected, Lab will check if the entity is that parent value or is a child of that parent (for example, setting a Humanoid Race Selector will find all Humanoids and all subraces of Humanoid)
• Selectors are processed in the order defined - groups are formed at each AND/OR Boundary

The Dry Run button will preview the results of your selectors based on what was indexed by the Entity Scanner in the Inspector.

Let's start with the below:

This shows using a Nested query - in DB Query Terms, this might look like:

SELECT *
FROM ENTITIES
WHERE
(
	RACE IS IN ('Blight', 'Myconid', 'Shambling Mound')
	AND (FACTION = 'ACT1_UND_Myconids')
)

if we were to uncheck the Inclusive checkbox from the Race selector (making it Exclusive), this would turn into

...
WHERE
(
	RACE IS NOT IN ('Blight', 'Myconid', 'Shambling Mound')
	AND (FACTION = 'ACT1_UND_Myconids')
)

That checkbox you see next to the Faction is available for any resources that have children inheriting from them. Shift-click on the checkbox to see the hierarchy:

For this faction, you can see BroodingMyconid is the only child, so if the checkbox was checked that faction would also be included in the query, turning it into

WHERE
(
	RACE IS NOT IN ('Blight', 'Myconid', 'Shambling Mound')
	AND (FACTION IS IN ('ACT1_UND_Myconids', 'ACT1_UND_Myconids_BroodingMyconid'))
)

Finally, we can add another selector at the same level as the first:

This adds an AND clause, specifying that entities much match the above criteria AND also have Myconid_Adult_WhiteSpores as a CharacterStat, turning the query into

SELECT *
FROM ENTITIES
WHERE
(
	RACE IS IN ('Blight', 'Myconid', 'Shambling Mound')
	AND (FACTION = 'ACT1_UND_Myconids')
)
AND STAT = 'Myconid_Adult_WhiteSpores`

Choosing OR instead would have the expected effect - either the first or second 'clause' must match for the entity to be selected.
