So, I haven't actually done a "mark as solution" yet... Uhm, ok so here's my thing. Brady_The's response got me to the answer but took a bit of investigating to actually find the answer for myself. I actually really like their answer though as I learned more about how things work under the hood in the game and is more broadly applicable than just my actual answer to my direct question. But it doesn't actually answer the question asked. Also, I posted my own answer to the question, and I'm not sure if it's a faux pas to flag my own reply as the answer to the question, esp. with the help from Brady_The.
I guess, I'm uncertain what, if anything, I should flag as the answer.
