each swing, and should be from the first hit

[tepid dock]

Anyone know, when ammunition is pulled through a weapon, does Midi Overtime effects carry through also?

[kind cape]

So it expires after 10 rounds and then starts stacking up again even if he hits something in the meantime?

[static wind]

yup

[kind cape]

Alright, lets see what I can do

[kind cape]

Oh, V9 or V10? @static wind

[static wind]

V10

You’re really doing it? Thank you so much 😭

[kind cape]

Yeah, its a fun little project ^^ Might need to have one of the guys in the polo channel look it over for V10, there are some changes, but hopefully it will be easy

Okay, so I got it generally working for V9, not sure how broken it will be on V10 🤔

Just to test it, here is how you do it for V9, most of it should be the same, code will be slightly different.

First add the following code as an ItemMacro on the item, using the little button at the top of the item sheet:

let item = args[0].item;
let macroPass = args[0].macroPass;
let actorD = args[0].actor;
let stackingEffectName = "Stacking";

const bonusDamageFlag = "bonusDamage";

async function createEffect() {

    let effectData = {
        "changes": [],
        "disabled": false,
        "icon": "icons/weapons/swords/greatsword-crossguard-blue.webp",
        "label": stackingEffectName,
        "tint": "",
        "origin": item.uuid,
        "transfer": false,
        "flags": {
            "world" : {
                "bonusDamage" : 0
            }
        },
        "duration": {
            "seconds" : 60
        }
    };
    await actorD.document.createEmbeddedDocuments("ActiveEffect", [effectData]);

}

async function incrementEffect() {
    const currentValue = getEffect().getFlag("world", bonusDamageFlag);
    if(currentValue < actorD.data.details.level)
    {
        await getEffect().setFlag("world", bonusDamageFlag, currentValue + 1)
    }
}

function getEffect() {
    return actorD.effects.filter(effect => effect.data.label === stackingEffectName)[0];
}

if(macroPass === "preAttackRoll") {
    if(getEffect() === undefined) {
        await createEffect();
    }
    await incrementEffect();
}

if(macroPass === "DamageBonus") {
    const currentBonus = getEffect().getFlag("world", bonusDamageFlag);
    return {damageRoll: "" + currentBonus, flavor: stackingEffectName};
}

Then go into the item details, and set the following near the bottom (image)

And I believe the V10 macro should be the following:

let item = args[0].item;
let macroPass = args[0].macroPass;
let actorD = args[0].actor;
let stackingEffectName = "Stacking";

const bonusDamageFlag = "bonusDamage";

async function createEffect() {

    let effectData = {
        "changes": [],
        "disabled": false,
        "icon": "icons/weapons/swords/greatsword-crossguard-blue.webp",
        "label": stackingEffectName,
        "tint": "",
        "origin": item.uuid,
        "transfer": false,
        "flags": {
            "world" : {
                "bonusDamage" : 0
            }
        },
        "duration": {
            "seconds" : 60
        }
    };
    await actorD.document.createEmbeddedDocuments("ActiveEffect", [effectData]);

}

async function incrementEffect() {
    const currentValue = getEffect().getFlag("world", bonusDamageFlag);
    if(currentValue < actorD.details.level)
    {
        await getEffect().setFlag("world", bonusDamageFlag, currentValue + 1)
    }
}

function getEffect() {
    return actorD.effects.filter(effect => effect.label === stackingEffectName)[0];
}

if(macroPass === "preAttackRoll") {
    if(getEffect() === undefined) {
        await createEffect();
    }
    await incrementEffect();
}

if(macroPass === "DamageBonus") {
    const currentBonus = getEffect().getFlag("world", bonusDamageFlag);
    return {damageRoll: "" + currentBonus, flavor: stackingEffectName};
}

But I will need you to test it @static wind

[vast bane]

Is this a published item that is in a rule book? use its name so folks can find this when searching discord.

[kind cape]

Don't think it is, Arth would know, he provided the description 😅

[static wind]

no, its a homebrew item

[static wind]

omg thank you so damn much, I will test it right now!

[static wind]

its getting this error

[kind cape]

Hmm, did you use the second code block?

[static wind]

yup

[kind cape]

Could you change line 3 from:
let actorD = args[0].actor;
to
let actorD = args[0].actorData;
and then try again

[static wind]

ok

[kind cape]

Alsoo

This will only work when triggered from an attack roll, it will not work when triggered from the macro bar or the "execute macro" button

[static wind]

yep, I'm using the item

another error now, I think

[kind cape]

Gimme a hot minute, I will boot up my V10 instance and get this working! 😛 Thought I could get away without that

[static wind]

i'm giving you too much work 😭

its not needed

[kind cape]

Its fine, I do a bunch of programming in my free time, don't worry 👍

[static wind]

thank you

[kind cape]

Try this one @static wind

let item = args[0].item;
let macroPass = args[0].macroPass;
let actorD = args[0].actor;
let stackingEffectName = "Stacking";

console.warn("Actor", actorD);

const bonusDamageFlag = "bonusDamage";

async function createEffect() {

    let effectData = {
        "changes": [],
        "disabled": false,
        "icon": "icons/weapons/swords/greatsword-crossguard-blue.webp",
        "label": stackingEffectName,
        "tint": "",
        "origin": item.uuid,
        "transfer": false,
        "flags": {
            "world" : {
                "bonusDamage" : 0
            }
        },
        "duration": {
            "seconds" : 60
        }
    };
    await actorD.createEmbeddedDocuments("ActiveEffect", [effectData]);

}

async function incrementEffect() {
    const currentValue = getEffect().getFlag("world", bonusDamageFlag);
    if(currentValue < actorD.system.details.level)
    {
        await getEffect().setFlag("world", bonusDamageFlag, currentValue + 1)
    }
}

function getEffect() {
    return actorD.effects.filter(effect => effect.label === stackingEffectName)[0];
}

if(macroPass === "preAttackRoll") {
    if(getEffect() === undefined) {
        await createEffect();
    }
    await incrementEffect();
}

if(macroPass === "DamageBonus") {
    const currentBonus = getEffect().getFlag("world", bonusDamageFlag);
    return {damageRoll: "" + currentBonus, flavor: stackingEffectName};
}

[static wind]

omg its working

[kind cape]

Nice, just had to find the right replacements for V10 😅

[static wind]

omg thank you so much

[kind cape]

There are 2 things you might want to adjust:
"icon": "icons/weapons/swords/greatsword-crossguard-blue.webp", to set the image of the effect that is used for the stacking AE
let stackingEffectName = "Stacking"; to set the name of it

[static wind]

ok!

thank you very very much

[errant gull]

Is there a way to use an NPC ability that will automatically target only the NPC's enemies (ie player characters and their allies) within a 30 foot radius?

[spice kraken]

I've never got this to work in v9 but you can try this

[errant gull]

Yeah, I'm using v9 right now, it's not working.

[spice kraken]

If that doesn't work and you don't auto apply damage, just do this and center it on the caster

[kind cape]

Shouldn't it be 30 feet enemy?

[spice kraken]

You don't want enemy because the enemy of enemies is ally

If I understand it correctly

[kind cape]

NPC's enemies (ie player characters and their allies)

Is what was said 🤔

[errant gull]

Only issue with the sphere is it winds up targeting its own allies and itself.

[kind cape]

With that being said, make sure this is on @errant gull

[spice kraken]

The special below doesn't target itself

[kind cape]

Otherwise it will definitely not work

[errant gull]

Oh, interesting. You're right. It does target its own allies, but not itself. That's at least half-way there, I can dig it.

[spice kraken]

If I understand midi correctly for this case, the target ally is based off token disposition. So enemy == hostile, players and friendly npcs == ally (I could be completely wrong)

[errant gull]

I think you're right.

[spice kraken]

Part of the reason I don't auto apply damage is to add flexibility on things like this

[kind cape]

Might be you are right, can't be bothered testing that one right now as its just changing the dropdown if its opposite 😛

[spice kraken]

Yeah, plus the whole 30 | Feet | Enemy doesn't even work for Gambet and me on v9 anyways

Might be a v10 only thing

[errant gull]

That's a bummer. I'm still waiting for like 30 modules to update to v10, haha.

[kind cape]

Works for me on V9 🤔

[spice kraken]

Are you in combat? Can you export your item and dm it to me for me to try

[kind cape]

Internet is a bit funky today

Trying to upload a video of it working 😅

[violet meadow]

strange. it was working for me too. Midi version?

[spice kraken]

Nope

[violet meadow]

I guess token's disposition is set up?

[kind cape]

Finally!

[spice kraken]

My midi settings

[violet meadow]

any modules that touch upon disposition of tokens? tried with only midi?

[spice kraken]

Not that I can recall. I'll test with just midi and dependencies

In combat or out

[violet meadow]

shouldn't matter tbh iirc

[spice kraken]

No dice

[violet meadow]

does Ally work?

[spice kraken]

Let me try

[spice kraken]

Nope

[kind cape]

Could you screenshot your workflow tab in the settings? The exported settings file is hard to quickly parse 😅

[violet meadow]

well damn, I am still away and just switched off my remote instance. I could check tomorrow too, if fotoply doesn't come up with a solution 😅

[kind cape]

There's the issue! Auto target for ranged target needs to be on 😛

[spice kraken]

Ah there we go

For some reason I thought that was similar to late targeting

@errant gull ^^

[kind cape]

Tbf, its not the best named one, I had it off for the longest time because I didn't understand it either 😅

[spice kraken]

I'm assuming the Special is the same with templates and doesn't target the source actor

Yup

Well that's gonna make thunderwave (or clap, idr) easier to manage, haha

[errant gull]

Haha

That instantly solved the problem.

Thank you!

[vast bane]

You can undo the damage with a button, but I personally do not automate so much that I need to, I run advantage reminder for virtually all of the situational bonus' that usually fire incorrectly.

[violet meadow]

I automate everything and in game I have one headache less. Now before game its a different story, but that's expected 😄

[stoic seal]

Same here

[spice kraken]

True but then fudging is harder than I want, haha

[vast bane]

I don't fudge.

The dice tell the story, not me.

If you want to automate damage AND fudge, just install DF manual rolls, theres a setting the DM can turn on that hides the rolls being manually entered for himself. It works with midi, has issues with a few other modules though.

[spice kraken]

I fudge in favor of the players. Balance is the hardest thing for me since I usually make up everything on the spot based off what the players choose. Sometimes the monsters are definitely too hard so I tick away more hp than what they deal

[plain forum]

what is syntax to add more sizes in this?
"@target.traits.size".includes("sm")
for example ("sm","med") does not seem to work

activation condition btw

[spice kraken]

No clue if this will work but try ['sm', 'med'].includes('@target.traits.size')

[plain forum]

will do

[plain forum]

that absolutely did it. thank you sir.

[unreal wind]

so, I seem to have an issue with Toll the Dead. When I click the icon with a target selected, I get an exception:

not sure if this matters but spells were imported a few weeks ago from DBDBeyond importer if htat matters

[spice kraken]

I would ask in mr. primates discord if the macro was also made from there

[unreal wind]

is he in League, or does he have is own discord?

[spice kraken]

His own

[unreal wind]

yea thats the thing, im not sure what creates the various set ups since I have Midi, DAE, ItemMacro, etc installed as suggested by his importer

[spice kraken]

Well if the spell was gotten from the importer and it had the macro, there would be the best bet of getting help

[vast bane]

You are playing on a dnd5e system version that was notoriously bugged and they released 1.6.3 to hurriedly fix it.

That is the version that had the dex tie breaker all screwed up

As for Toll the dead...bruh its Midiqol, trust in the Tposney.

[unreal wind]

well crap.. I can update it. says the version is undefined

is it safe to uninstall the game system and then reinstall?

[vast bane]

back up your world before updating systems I believe

you can install over top with a manual manifest

but backup the world just incase

[unreal wind]

the foundryuserdata directory or below that?

[vast bane]

no no no no no no

go to dnd5e's published system page on foundry, right click the 1.6.3 install manifest link and copy url

click install system inside foundry, paste the manifest into the bottom here:

backup your world

[unreal wind]

yes thats the part I was questiong

[vast bane]

oh lol

[unreal wind]

this is installed on a remote server so..

[vast bane]

I dunno how to backup remotely, but I bet if you asked @bold rock he'd have a tip or two about backing up your world.

[unreal wind]

I jsut need to know the dir as i THINK I used the defaults

[vast bane]

Well when a moderator catches it he will answer lol

[unreal wind]

gratz

[vast bane]

I always just backup the whole userdata folder minus the modules sub directory

I duplicate it, and delete the duplicates modules folder cause I don't need 1000 copies of jb2a's animation database

[ancient flare]

Hopefully simple midi-qol question. Can I set midi to show DSN rolls to me as a GM, but only display "hit or miss" to the players? I'm trying to avoid my players from "meta-ing" dice rolls from the creatures.

[unreal wind]

ok, I think I found the issue, or at least the root of the issue. When I compare the MidoQOL Sample Items/Spells version of Toll the Dead, I see BOTH versions have this On Use Macro but can't find the actual macro so I assume that's what is failing. Same with Spiritual Weapon, Flaming Sphere, etc. I assume none of those would work in that case if ItemMacro can't be found:

[vast bane]

You lack Item Macro module but supposedly you do not need to have it installed, the data is there and midi is able to pull it, what is your problem with toll the dead?

are you on v10?

[unreal wind]

no v9

Item Macro is installed though

[vast bane]

yeah whats your error/problem then it definitely works on v9

what isn't working about toll the dead?

[unreal wind]

when I click on the spell, it throws an exception as above #1010273821401555087 message

[vast bane]

versions of dae, item macro, and midi?

and what are you using for saves?

[unreal wind]

hang on, I tend to update modules frequently

[vast bane]

you shouldn't unless something is broken imo

you want stability, they aren't offering 7 cupholders with every module update

Does the character in question have a class level? or is it an npc?

[unreal wind]

MidiQOL is 0.9.76
DAE is 0.10.28
ItemMacro is 1.6.0

character built and imported with the DNDBeyond importer

with Midi, I am going for a partial automation, leaning on the less automation side

[vast bane]

drag out one of the dnd5e starter heroes that is a cleric or wizard and give them toll the dead and see if it works

[unreal wind]

sure.. hang on a sec

[vast bane]

I bet your problem is the importer

but your midi is behind on version, should not be an issue

if the actor has a broken class setup that could be an issue

[unreal wind]

ok, that spell is not on the default actor cleric's list, so I pulled from DND Spells Compendium entry

[vast bane]

nope your problem is a bad setup

that is probably fixed in midi .79

[unreal wind]

if I need to, I can just as easily delete that one actor and reimport

[vast bane]

It is suppose to be pre damage roll, not after effects

you likely have a version before it got fixed

cause your midi is 3 versions behind mine

[unreal wind]

fix?

[vast bane]

the very first line of the macro says it needs to be done pre damage roll

so where you saw Item macro--- after active effects, change after active effects to um....

I dunno if your version has pre damage roll or before the damage roll

Its at the bottom of the details on toll the dead

you have a different sheet UI than me so mine looks different than yours

[unreal wind]

perhqps this will help

[vast bane]

yeah at the bottom there, change after active effect to before damage roll or pre damage roll

[unreal wind]

should I upgrade the module as well?

[vast bane]

he changed the wording of the drop downs around the time of your version so I dunno if its before or pre for your drop down

probably

I don't even know if I'm on the newest lol

but the only thing breaking toll the dead is that drop down

its firing too late in the workflow

in my version of midi it comes packaged as before, not after so he clearly fixed it between .76 and .79

[unreal wind]

well.. PERHAPS all the updating I SAID I was ddoing was on my local v10 testing version...lol

hmm no such luck

wait... hang on a sec.. seems midi did not actually update

yea still failing

[vast bane]

can you show me your items detail page again?

[unreal wind]

the spell details?

[vast bane]

cause I didn't say updating would fix it, I clearly said changing it to pre damage roll would

updating midi does not change any sample items already in play

you need to change toll the deads item macro to fire before damage roll, its literally a drop down right in that image

[vast bane]

disable all but midi, dae, socketlib, and libwrapper and find the culprit

wait a minute

thats not midi's toll the dead

no way would tposney put flavor in the chat message

is that a beyond imported item?

[unreal wind]

yep

I did test the midi version as well

[vast bane]

delete it, navigate to Midi sample items, drag his toll the dead to the sheet

[unreal wind]

but taht was early on in troubleshooting

good news it's a different result.. bad news it's still an error

[vast bane]

link the exact same thign you just did to me

[unreal wind]

top is original error, bottom is with Midi version

[vast bane]

find the culprit starting with midi, dae, socketlib, and libwrapper, and before you start this, make sure you dragged out the right toll the dead

[unreal wind]

MidiQOL Sample Items -> Spells -> Toll the Dead

[vast bane]

do you have Better rolls, roll groups, Minimal rol enhancements, or Ready Set roll installed?

[unreal wind]

hang on< I THINK I disabled all of those but let me check

none

[vast bane]

what are you using for saves in midi?

[unreal wind]

I belive I had better rolls for 5e but removed

you want the saves config settings?

[vast bane]

what comes up for a prompt?

the macro only works with automation so if its set to none...that'd do it

Monks Token Bar, LMRTFY or midi's built in prompt

[unreal wind]

I seem to think someone else was having an issue with this earlier today wit their settings

I have Monks and LMRTFY

and its using Monks

[vast bane]

are you saving?

[vast bane]

I would start find the culprit and try with just midi/socketlib/libwrapper and work from there ttill it breaks

having both lmrtfy and mtb installed is redundant, pick one, disable the other

[unreal wind]

thanks, I will likely come back to this later as so far as I know this is the only spell that breaks

and I hve a game Friday and lots to do in the little time i have left

I appreciate all the assistance

[vast bane]

can you paste the item macro here thats in toll the dead? click item macro at the top of toll the deads entry

or snippet it

[unreal wind]

im not sure I underatant what you mean

[unreal wind]

OH

    const target = await fromUuid(args[0].targetUuids[0]);
    const needsD12 = target.actor.data.data.attributes.hp.value < target.actor.data.data.attributes.hp.max;
    const theItem = await fromUuid(args[0].uuid);
    let formula = theItem.data.data.damage.parts[0][0];
    if (needsD12) 
        formula = formula.replace("d8", "d12")
    else 
        formula = formula.replace("d12", "d8");
    theItem.data.data.damage.parts[0][0] = formula;
}```

I had no idea tht was up there.. thanks

[vast bane]

are you targetting someone when you roll?

[unreal wind]

yes

[vast bane]

what are you targetting?

[unreal wind]

I do have fast forwward rolls turned on though

just in case

a goblin

so normal npc

[vast bane]

srd goblin or an imported goblin?

[unreal wind]

great queswtion.. it's one of the top down goblins

so not SRD

[vast bane]

eh dnd5e's goblin is a top down

yeah I dunno, I think its a module conflict

[unreal wind]

yea it looks like args is empty

so the first line is failing

[vast bane]

Which to me screams you are using another roller

Better Rolls for 5e, Minimal Roll Enhancements for v9

or you have roll automation OFF for midi

show us your actual attack workflow

[unreal wind]

I don't have either of the roll ehancements

[vast bane]

do you even have midi automation on?

[unreal wind]

I do NOT have roll's on.. buttons to the chat cart and the users click thos

[vast bane]

that is probably it

you aren't even using midi

You are crossing the stream with vanilla dnd5e lol

Thats a first

[short aurora]

When you write this, have you checked if it is empty in console? I don't even think I can intentionally get args to be empty with midi qol turned on

[unreal wind]

yes it's empty I did a console.log(args)

[vast bane]

if roll automation is off, then midi is not overriding the roll

therefore theres no args

[unreal wind]

at the beginning of the item macro script

[vast bane]

What do you have here:

[unreal wind]

yes

thats on

[vast bane]

yeah you gotta have a roller installed

[short aurora]

They also said they fast forwarded rolls earlier, figured that was a prerequisite. Let me just find out which module actually populates args...

[vast bane]

there are a few other rare ones out there too, just br and mre are the two most noteable conflicts

midi does args

Joe, show us your attack in chat

[unreal wind]

for an attack spell? the chat card?

[vast bane]

for toll the dead

[unreal wind]

nothing gets to the chat

[vast bane]

just show us the actual chat when you roll the item

whaaaa

[unreal wind]

nope

[short aurora]

Is there a red console error message when you roll the item?

[vast bane]

yes hes linked it

[short aurora]

Oh right, mb

[vast bane]

change your midi setting for saves to

and what version of monk's token bar do you have installed

oh actually, do you even have monk's token bar installed? cause that would throw THAT exact error I think

if your midi settings was pointing to a save module that wasn't installed or enabled

[unreal wind]

yes I do have Monks

[vast bane]

Monk's Token bar right? cause he has like 15 modules named monks

[unreal wind]

yes

[vast bane]

what is the version of it, and then try to change it to chat message instead like my image above and try to throw the save

or rather roll the tolll the dead

[unreal wind]

yes, set to Chat message, same thing

[vast bane]

you have a bad install, find the culprit till you find the module screwing up midi

have you tried sacred flame?

[unreal wind]

hmm I don't see sacred flame in midi

[short aurora]

For a quick check if it's Midi, you can also just enable Midi QoL, socketlib and libwrapper. I did note you had an error message from blood n' guts which is way old

[unreal wind]

or you do mean SRD?

[vast bane]

just use basic sacred flame from srd

not imported

[unreal wind]

sacred flame sends to chat, I roll the damage, I roll the save on the chat card, and the damage is applied

[vast bane]

can you show us the chat entries?

[unreal wind]

I have require target turned on, and late targetting on

but in all these cases, I do have a single target selected withhin range

[vast bane]

only thing I got left is install find the culprit and follow it till it breaks with all modules, toll the dead definitely works from midi sample items

you got something messing with it

[unreal wind]

yep... will just end up messing with it after the weekend

fortunately, the sorcerer spells all seem to work and a quick check of the other spells for the cleric appear to work fine

[vast bane]

I think what will break is any automated macro item like somethign from midi srd or midi sample items

but also, find the culprit is pretty fast

you can immediately find out if its a module by disabling all but midi and its dependencies and firing the spell

Are you rolling it off token action hud?

[unreal wind]

no, off of the char sheet

[vast bane]

vanilla sheet?

no you have a sheet module I remember

yeah all signs point to module conflict, thats your next step to solving it

[unreal wind]

soooo ummm the main reason why I am delaying Find the Culprit is I need to take time to remove all the modules I tried and disabled but did not remove

thanks

[vast bane]

find the culprit streamlines turning on and off everything and it remembers what you had on/off before you started

when you activate it, it asks you what you want to turn on for initial test, then you get refreshed page, try the spell, if it succeeds, say no, and it slowly adds things in till it breaks, when you finally say yes, it will then revert you to the modules you had enabled before you ran find the culprit

if it breaks with just midi, socketlib, and libwrapper then you are in unknown territory

Find the culprit is a module btw, incase you aren't connecting the dots

[unreal wind]

its sleepy time for me. thaks for all the help Moto

[vast bane]

What would I put in an activation condition if I wanted it to roll other damage if the source actors health is above 50%?

Trying to setup a swarm creature

[violet meadow]

Did you resolve this?

If not can you make sure you don't have options 2 and 3 selected in itemMacro settings?

[vast bane]

@violet meadow I wanna pull off the swarm mechanic where they do 4d4 at full health, but 2d4 at half, by making their main attack do 2d4, and if their activation condition is true, do an additional 2d4 in other damage, is that possible? Have activation condition be something like full health?

does midi's wounded status icon apply a flag?

[violet meadow]

Try "@attributes.hp.value">="@attributes.hp.max"/2

[vast bane]

oh I was trying to find a flag for it lol that works too

That works perfectly

[violet meadow]

I think that it doesn't apply a flag.
You could use effect macro however, to make the wounded DFreds CE condition set a flag when it is created and unset it after

[vast bane]

I just wanna say I was almost there, but since you chimed in I had to cheat and ask lol

[lean holly]

Did midi change a flag?

[upbeat wedge]

Is there a way to manage feats like Lucky where a second roll is made only if the player wants, but has to decide prior to the result of the first roll?

[fallen token]

Here's the section of Midi's readme about Optional Bonus Effects
https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol#optional-bonus-effects

If you use that, it can pop up a dialog on each d20 roll that it applies to. The pop up will show you the result of the roll and ask you if you want to use Lucky. Might get annoying for the player since they'll get a pop up so often, but it's doable

[upbeat wedge]

OK, thanks I will play with it and see how it works

[fallen token]

The MidiQOL Sample Items compendium has two copies of Lucky. You can probably use one of those

[opaque current]

Is this horrendous alignment coming from core Foundry or something Tim would need to fix 🤔

[fallen token]

Foundry. It's grabbing the module's title and showing it in that sidebar

although... the title could probably be shortened if we're being honest

always bothered me why it was so "wordy"

[opaque current]

Well it was literally just DAE, but then I think the intention was to not confused it with core Active Effects

But frankly, DAE would be fine.

[upbeat wedge]

Thanks

[fallen token]

or Dynamic Active Effects

[opaque current]

The title seems to just be the name. Even if it was dropped onto a second line - why the centre alignment?!

[fallen token]

looks like some tab styling CSS is poking through

.tabs .item {
  text-align: center;
}

[fallen token]

something should be added to this CSS selector so the text isn't centered

.package-configuration aside.sidebar nav.tabs .category-tab

[opaque current]

Reported as a bug. Kim can figure it out.

In the meantime I will live with my manual adjustment. Until DAE updates lol

[upbeat wedge]

I added it, but it does not seem to do anything. I have looked through midi-qol settings as well and I don't see a way to activate the chance to have the player roll another die

[violet meadow]

That sounds like you are not awaiting a roll and asking for the .total

[lean holly]

It used to work, though it has been a month since the player tried to summon their fire spirit.

[violet meadow]

Macro?

[violet meadow]

V10?

[lean holly]

No, V9

I wont upgrade to V10 until all my macro makers, (yourself included) have V10 macros lol

[violet meadow]

Oh that's a big one.
I will take a look when I am on my pc
There is an id in a canvas.tokens.get(id) call that seems not defined but I cannot check it better now

[unreal wind]

YES. that corrected the issue with the js error
I had item 3 checked(at the time. off now): "Character Sheet Hook"

unfortunately, there is now a non error scenario in Toll the Dead where the damage is not accurate. when I ckick the "Damage" button in the chat card, it always rolls d12 regardless of the target's health total

[violet meadow]

Is this happening with the MidiQOL sample item Toll the dead or an imported one?

[unreal wind]

The Midi sample one IIRC.. Moto was helping me last night and we did a lot of things

deleted old copy and pulled from the midi samples.. I don't have time to test in depth, but I THINK it looked right.. will mess with later

[violet meadow]

I will take a look too later

[unreal wind]

yep, works now. That change seemed to fix it. So what is the Character Sheet hook used for if it could break things?

[nocturne frigate]

How can i disable this reaction pop up in Midi?

[violet meadow]

When you use Item macro module for MidiQol purposes (think about it as a storage place for macros) you want them off as per readme's instructions.

You can check how they are otherwise used in Item Macros page

[lean holly]

Turn reactions off in midi, workflow then optional.
However I too change all my reactions to manual.

[spice kraken]

Or change the details tab action type to reaction manual or damaged, whatever is relevant

I personally would do reaction manual and tell the player to remember they have it

[nocturne frigate]

So to OFF to disable it?

[lean holly]

Yes

Or manually change all your reactions abilities to Reaction Manual instead of Reaction.

IE go to absorb elements, and edit the item > details > activation cost > Reaction manual

[nocturne frigate]

I see. Is there a way to allow to roll damage even if the attack wasn't rolled?

[torpid kestrel]

I'm trying to code a feature in 5e for Inspiring Leadership. My first pass was to add an item macro that I hoped would add temp hps to all targeted tokens (I'll add the correct calc for determining the amount of hps later). However this only applies the hps to the owned token. I originally posted this in the 5e board, but was told it couldn't be done. So I'm now thinking it will need to be done through midi qol. Can someone point me towards a couple of samples where 1. an action is being applied to all targeted tokens. 2. Temp hps are being applied? I'm very new to foundry and appreciate all the help being provided for me to learn. for(let tok of canvas.tokens.controlled){
await tok.actor.update({"data.attributes.hp.temp": 10});
}

[opaque current]

can't you just do this with base midi

[spice kraken]

Yeah

[lean holly]

Instead of a macro, turn it into a spell of range (what ever like 30ft) healing temp HP.

[spice kraken]

And this

I don't auto add damage so you can manually decide who not to give the temp hp for if you have more than 6 people there

[opaque current]

I went with this and assumed they would be targeted

Rather than AOEd

[spice kraken]

Let me test

[opaque current]

@torpid kestrel See our comments above ☝️

[spice kraken]

Yours didn't work for me

[opaque current]

Works fine for me

rekt

[spice kraken]

Can you export and dm the item to me?

[spice kraken]

Are you manually targeting?

[opaque current]

Yes

[spice kraken]

Ah that's why

I was using the auto target thing

Targeting for me worked too, but wanted to speed that up

[opaque current]

But what if there are too many allies nearby?!?!?

[spice kraken]

Then they don't apply the healing damage

Or undo if you do auto apply

[opaque current]

Fair enough

TBH that is a really strong feat. My players are level 3, and it adds a free 6 temp HP to the entire party after every short or long rest.

[spice kraken]

No one has it in my game so I don't have to worry about that

[lean holly]

I make my players actually give a speech lol.

[hazy urchin]

Hello party people... im trying midi qol for the first time and i am having a weird issue where the HP update card, which shows as the whitish "only for gm eye" card, is actually visible for all players. If i delete it with my all powerful gm ability, it disappears from the gm chat bar, but stays in the player chat bar. Help? my players screen currently looks like this 🥺

[spice kraken]

So you want this (left player, right gm)

[hazy urchin]

yup

[spice kraken]

Switch your chat roll to Private GM Roll

Players will still see the apply damage section if they are attacked

Or rather any actor they own

[hazy urchin]

oh this is happening when i am rolling as the GM and i have private GM roll activated

but it is showing up in the player screen regardless

[spice kraken]

v9 or v10

[hazy urchin]

and when i try to delete, it goes on the gm screen but stays on the player

v9

[spice kraken]

Can you export your midi settings and dm them to me

[hazy urchin]

2 secs

[spice kraken]

And just to make sure I'm on the same page. If the token on the right (has no player ownership) attacks the zombie (also no player ownership), the barb (is player) will see damage application option in chat?

[torpid kestrel]

Many thanks! It works great!

[hazy urchin]

sent

[spice kraken]

What about this

[hazy urchin]

and yes

[spice kraken]

You probably have a module conflict

[hazy urchin]

i have an enemy npc attack a pc. the damage breakdown/assign card shows up on both screens

[spice kraken]

That's supposed to happen

Players will see the damage application card show up for any token they own

[hazy urchin]

but for all players?

[spice kraken]

Let me check for other players

[opaque current]

Do they have some permissions for other PCs?

[hazy urchin]

and it doesnt delete when i delete it as gm, stays put

limited view

only 1 owner

[spice kraken]

Same happens for my game but it's not an issue. As long as they don't have permissions, they can't apply the damage

[hazy urchin]

its more a tidy issue i suppose lol

[spice kraken]

But if no players are involved, they won't see anything

[opaque current]

I just don't use player damage cards tbh

[spice kraken]

Same with if players are attacking npcs

[hazy urchin]

yeah see for me when i have logged into other players screens, they would see naafeh's damage calc

going by your example

[spice kraken]

So for you, player attacks npc and they still see damage application card?

[hazy urchin]

yup

[spice kraken]

Let me check with your settings for that

Doesn't happen for me with your settings

[hazy urchin]

f-ing weird...

[spice kraken]

Disable all modules except midi and the dependencies and try

[hazy urchin]

yay... i hate this bit of foundry 😅

[spice kraken]

Easiest way is use find the culprit

Click midi, select yes, and then test

[hazy urchin]

i know, ok. i'll have a look into that

as you've been really helpful, can you help a newb with 1 final thing i just realised?

[spice kraken]

Sure

[hazy urchin]

never mind, that 1 i worked out

up cast spells issue

[spice kraken]

Chances are you had skipped resource consumption option I'm guessing

[hazy urchin]

yup

so i have only midi, lib and socket lib active. i'm still getting that damage output card appearing and getting stuck

[ancient flare]

I asked this question last night and it kinda got buried. Wondering if someone can help with hopefully a simple midi-qol question. Can I set midi to show DSN rolls to me as a GM, but only display "hit or miss" to the players? I'm trying to avoid my players from "meta-ing" dice rolls from the creatures. Picture of GM workflow, rolls are done as public from dice tray.

[lean holly]

What you have looks right. Show Hit/Miss to players then damage total on hit.

[ancient flare]

yup, and it shows that to the players...but it also shows the 3D dice roll. I don't want them to see that

[lean holly]

Then I think you want to check the box just under the hide details

"Hide GM attack/damage/saving throw 3D dice rolls"

As long as you merge your cards that is

[ancient flare]

I will try that again. I tried that route first and I do merge cards

So, selecting hide does in fact hide the dice..but hides it from me too. I still like seeing the virtual clickity clacks....(dice goblin - yes)

Is there a way for it to hide the dice from just players?

[vast bane]

You can turn off dice from the DM, worst case scenario.

[ancient flare]

Ok, so I’m guessing midi doesn’t facilitate what I’m looking for-die rolls initiated by GM, visible to GM, not visible to players, but still displays the card indicating hit/miss to the player.

[kind cape]

Is there a way to use DFreds/MIDI/MonksTokenBar or similar to request a saving throw from an unowned token? I have a macro that works great when I use it, but when my player uses it it does not trigger the saving throw. I suspect its due to permission issues 🤔

Case: My player has a weapon that on hit triggers a saving throw on the target.

[lean holly]

In monks, make sure the check box is check to allow players to initiate checks

[kind cape]

Hmm, not sure I see that setting? 🤔

[lean holly]

I missed it too lol, let me get to my computer.

[kind cape]

I think I found it, sneaky setting!

Let me just test first, but on my first read over I did not see it 😅

Yep that fixed it, thanks! 😄

[lean holly]

someone here had to screen shot it for me, so I feel ya lol!

[kind cape]

Now to make the effect from DFreds apply 🤔

[lean holly]

freeze has a macro in macro polo which does contested rolls and on failure applies dfreds.

you may be able to edit that for yourself.

[kind cape]

Hmm, seems like a good starting point

[lean holly]

V9 anyway, not sure about V10

[kind cape]

Most automation is on V9, me included 😛

[kind cape]

I don't understand this, looking at the code for DFReds this should work, but it doesn't 😭

Hmm, I think I figured out why, the macro is not calling my callback function for some reason 😢 Even though it is on the DM

[vast bane]

midi does this all the time

what on earth are you doing in the macro to break one of the most basic parts midi does

saving throw on hit? Look at the giant spider stat block

Are you trying to run a mtb macro via dae on hit? If so make sure the players have permissions to the macro

[kind cape]

Case: My player has a weapon that on hit triggers a saving throw on the target.
This, but only in some cases, depending on the ammo used

[vast bane]

give them multiple attacks, I do this with an arcane archer all the time, they just choose their attacks, not their ammunition

[kind cape]

Currently trying to figure out what kinda item I need to pass to MidiQOL.completeItemRoll, and wether I can use a JSON item, so that I can just create it dynamically and use the exisiting MIDI flow

But my macro already works, just for GM only 😢

[vast bane]

If you need contested rolls, this is what I use as an item macro for contested automation:
Shield Bash

let results;
const attacker = canvas.tokens.get(args[0].tokenId);
const {object: target} = await fromUuid(args[0].hitTargetUuids[0]);

const skilltoberolled = target.actor.data.data.skills.ath.total < target.actor.data.data.skills.acr.total ? "acr" : "ath";

results = await game.MonksTokenBar.requestContestedRoll({
    token:attacker,
    request:'skill:ath'
},{
    token: target,
    request: `skill:${skilltoberolled}`
},{
    silent:true, 
    fastForward:false,
    flavor: `${target.name} tries to resist ${attacker.name}'s shove attempt`, 
    callback: async () => {
        const attackerTotal = results.getFlag("monks-tokenbar", `token${attacker.id}`).total;
        const targetTotal = results.getFlag("monks-tokenbar", `token${target.id}`).total;
        if (attackerTotal >= targetTotal) {
            if(!game.dfreds.effectInterface.hasEffectApplied('Prone', target.actor.uuid)) {
                await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({ effectName: 'Prone', uuid: target.actor.uuid});
                ui.notifications.info(`${attacker.name} shoves ${target.name} to the ground`)
            }
        }
        else ui.notifications.info(`${target.name} resists the shove attempt from ${attacker.name}`)
    }
});

[vast bane]

is the macro an item macro?

[kind cape]

Well it used to be, moved it into a dedicated macro to try the "run as GM" option

[vast bane]

do the players have permission to the macro?

[kind cape]

Also the above is basically what I did, but the callback in the request was never getting called

Yes, 99% of the macro executes, just not the callback from MTB requestRoll

[vast bane]

Is the setting for MTB set to allow players?

[kind cape]

yes, that was my first issue, which is fixed now

[violet meadow]

Well you could, especially if you don't need upcasting a spell

What's the macro that is not firing?

[kind cape]

Just gonna paste part of it, but basically this part is not working (should be able to be run on its own, as a weapon on use macro):

let target = canvas.tokens.get(args[0].targets[0].id);
let result = await game.MonksTokenBar.requestRoll([target], {request:'save:con', dc:16, silent:true, fastForward:false, rollMode:'request', callback: async () =>{
    let total = result.data.flags["monks-tokenbar"][`token${target.data._id}`].total;
    if(total < 6) {
        game.dfreds.effectInterface.toggleEffect("Lightning Inhibition", {uuids:args[0].targetUuids});
    } else if (total < 16) {
        game.dfreds.effectInterface.toggleEffect("Reaction", {uuids:args[0].targetUuids});
    }
}});

[kind cape]

So it asks for the save, and when run on the GM it works, but on a player it seems to never trigger the callback

[violet meadow]

<#macro-polo message>
A small sample of a complete item roll

[vast sierra]

(how are you testing? do you have a GM account logged in, when testing as a player?)

[kind cape]

Hmm, interresting, doesn't fix my above case though, but does fix my simpler cases (where there is only 1 save DC)

[kind cape]

Yes, 1 GM and 1 normal account logged in at the same time ^^

[violet meadow]

Put some console.logs in the call back function to check what runs and what does not

[kind cape]

Doesn't run, already tried console.log at the root of it 😅

let target = canvas.tokens.get(args[0].targets[0].id); //Runs
let result = await game.MonksTokenBar.requestRoll([target], /*runs*/ {request:'save:con', dc:16, silent:true, fastForward:false, rollMode:'request', callback: async () =>{
    let total = result.data.flags["monks-tokenbar"][`token${target.data._id}`].total; // Does not run
    if(total < 6) {
        game.dfreds.effectInterface.toggleEffect("Lightning Inhibition", {uuids:args[0].targetUuids});
    } else if (total < 16) {
        game.dfreds.effectInterface.toggleEffect("Reaction", {uuids:args[0].targetUuids});
    }
}});

[violet meadow]

no console errors?

[violet meadow]

Working fine for me 🤔

[covert mason]

I'm looking to automate this healing/damage effect via the OverTime active effect flag. Is anyone willing to help me out with this? :>

The Risen Reaper chooses a target it can see within 60ft of it. The target must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or be cursed for 1 minute. While cursed, the target suffers 2d8 necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns. The Risen Reaper regains hit points equal to the amount of necrotic damage dealt. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the curse on a success.

[violet meadow]

I can write something for that on Monday that I will be back home! If noone else offers a solution until then, feel free to DM me Monday morning to remind me 😅

[covert mason]

Awesome! 😄

Thank you so much

[covert mason]

Oh, I made a little alteration to the effect. 😅

The Risen Reaper chooses a target it can see within 60ft of it. The target must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or be cursed for 1 minute. While cursed, the target suffers [[/r 2d8]] necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature of the Reaper's choosing within 60ft of it that it can see regains hit points equal to the amount of necrotic damage dealt. The target can repeat the saving throw at the start of each of its turns, ending the curse on a success and taking no damage.

A creature of its choosing.

[north ocean]

Hey there, Is it a Midi setting that stopping my spell descriptions from showing up in chat? Nothing happens when i click the name in the chat card either.

[orchid hound]

could be, there is a setting in midi to collapse the chat cards. also one in system settings. check both

[vast sierra]

#modules message

[north ocean]

ahh thank you!!

[vast bane]

I actually don't think the midi setting collapses, it just flat out doesn't let it draw in the chat. You can't expand it as a DM I don't think.

[green wolf]

is there any other patreon like jb2a for animations?

[spice kraken]

Better asked in #513918036919713802

[green wolf]

roger will move there

[opaque current]

Is there a setting for removing the attack button after having made the attack? I'm sure that's how it used to be

[vast bane]

Are you sure you aren't crossing the streams?

I don't even see my versatile buttons and I have my setting where it doesn't delete the buttons

Did you at any time have MRE installed?

Oh wait, wrong tab bud, your the GM, your settings are in GM tab

[opaque current]

It's set for both, and I tried turning off all the autorolling for both PC and GM too

Will try FTC just in case it's a mod interaction 🤷‍♂️

[vast bane]

Show me the details of that weapon

I never see versatile buttons

[opaque current]

? They show for any versatile weapon with versatile damage

Assuming no autorolling damage

[vast bane]

I host for a paladin who uses a longsword, hes never had that button show up, I'm checking to see if I deleted his versatile field

did you hit save in the workflow button and save outside, or just x out

[opaque current]

save, save and save some more

Do you not see the attack button?

I tried FTC and seemed to be present with only midi

[vast bane]

try refreshing maybe its a cache issue

I removed the versatile field on my pally players longsword, when I refilled it in proper hes got the button again, but I actually use that setting, I prefer buttons to remain

[opaque current]

After ctrl F5, with non-PC, and everything set to basic in GM tab

[vast bane]

versions?

[opaque current]

FVTT 9.280
DnD5e 1.6.3
MidiQoL 0.9.81

[vast bane]

I haven't updated to 81 or newest v9 foundry yet but mine are poofing when I toggle

I matched everything but your foundry version and am not experiencing your issue

I'm on build 269 of v9

[opaque current]

Send me your midi settings

I just launched a sandbox world with nothing but Midi, Socketlib, and TidyUI and it still happens

And I'm fairly sure it's been happening before now

[opaque current]

Seems to always happen if not autorolling/autoforcing damage roll

wtf is "misses (6/4)"

[vast bane]

rolled 6, ac was probably 10

[opaque current]

Gross

[vast bane]

Drow poison applies poisoned conditionif you fail a DC 13 con save. If you fail by more than 5, you are also rendered unconscious. Is there a way to automate this? Right now I have the excess unconscious handled manually and have a reminder in the chat flavor text box to track saves.

I'm thinking an item macro that mimicks a save or unconscious item, where the DC is 5 lower? Unless somehow I can put it in an activation condition?

but it would need to reference the same save as the weapon?

[short aurora]

Is it only ever going to hit 1 target? Could activation condition the workflow, there's a failed saves set that you could check the total of

Oh nevermind, it does not show the roll there, hmmmm, wonder where that is saved then

[upbeat wedge]

I am still trying to figure out if there is a way to make the Lucky feat work. I have pulled in one of the midi-qol Lucky options, but when the player rolls, they do not get the chance to reroll prior to knowing the outcome. Is there no way to do this?

[vast bane]

I actually think that is rules as written

just alot of tables don't follow it

[short aurora]

It's before knowing the outcome, I don't think midi qol automatically stalls for that

[upbeat wedge]

The way I understand the rule is the player can see the die roll, but not if the roll succeeded or not. The player can then opt to roll a new die

[vast bane]

there is because legendary resistance does it that way from midi sample items

which is especially weird cause the DM knows, but it hides our save result till we choose

[upbeat wedge]

Testing that and it is working the same way. Player is not given the option for reroll

[short aurora]

Yeah, I don't get that with the legendary resistance thing either. Foundry v9.269, Midi 0.9.79. Unless the stuff's coded into Midi, I also don't really see a macro or an item flow that would suggest it does anything automatically either

Aaah it's effect flags

Still don't do it none but it's supposed to looking at the effects

[upbeat wedge]

I was hoping it would be like the shield spell and automatically ask to be used or not

Maybe there is no way to do this, making Lucky useless online

[short aurora]

Ah, no, there we go. The Lucky (Resource Usaage) 0.9.26 works for me

[upbeat wedge]

I am V 10 of foundry

[vast bane]

did you set a resource for lucky Kabkal?

[short aurora]

If you drag that particular item onto the sheet, it makes your third resource field into a Luck Points resource, and I also shamefully needed to refill it before it worked >_>

[upbeat wedge]

OK, I did not reset the resources last time I tried that one

Ok, it is asking to use the roll, but it is not subtracting the resource

[short aurora]

Edit the feature to make it use that resource box, you can't have that preselected in features in core DnD

It currently just has a limited use of 1/1, you want resource consumption attribute resources.tertiary.value 1

[upbeat wedge]

So you have to click on the box to use the feat, and then click on the feature to remove the count?

[short aurora]

No, does it automatically here

Just has to edit the feature to use that resource first

[upbeat wedge]

Then I have something set incorrectly here

[short aurora]

Actually subtracts it without even setting it, now that I double test. Feature's supposed to overwrite everything and work "out of the box" as long as you have at least 1 in your third resource box.

[upbeat wedge]

This is how I have it set

And now 2 of 3 in resources

[short aurora]

Do you get a console error when it triggers? I'm not on v10 so I can't test along ya

Triggers as in, you opt to use the resource by way of the dialogue prompt

[upbeat wedge]

No errors

I get the prompt, I see both rolls, and it is taking the higher of the two rolls

[short aurora]

Out of ideas, throw an issue on the github. :p It looks definitely possible and there's presumably a snafu, remember to include your midi qol settings

[upbeat wedge]

OK I will see if I can figure out how to do that. Thanks for your help

[short aurora]

@gilded yacht Can I refer to all steps of the workflow in activation condition with midi qol? I can't seem to compare @workflow.saveResults[0].total so I can do something like deal extra damage if the target's save is less than a set value, e.g. @workflow.saveResults[0].total > 10. It seems to work with other things like @workflow.attackRoll._total so wondering if I'm looking at the wrong workflow

[gilded yacht]

That looks to be a bug. I'll investigate

[kind cape]

This is basically the use case I described yesterday that I had trouble getting my macro to work for when players were the ones triggering it 😭 so if you figure something out I'm all ears

Actually, that message above by Krig just gave me an idea for how to do it..

But am not at home right now and will require an item macro 🤔

[gilded yacht]

Can you dm me the item that you are playing with? Makes it easier to test, my first guess is that it should work, but I've not tried it.

[opaque current]

tposney - any way of having this "attack" button go away?

Settings are set to remove attack and damage but they only disappear once damage is rolled

[gilded yacht]

Yeah, it's a bug. I'll push a fix in the next v10 release (10.0.12 from recollection)

[gilded yacht]

Had a quick look and at the moment it seems the answer is no. I can't (without thinking about it some more) come up with a good reason why it is done that way (other than laziness on my part) so I'll have a look at separating the attack/damage button removal.

[mellow atlas]

Hi all. I am using midi QOL for targeting during combat. Speeds things up. Wanted an easy way to give the +2/+5 for various covers, but the manual system from DnD 5e helpers seems independent, and not playing with the midi system

[dark canopy]

Assuming v9? I think there are settings in midi for which cover system to use

[gilded yacht]

Midi should (at least in v9 - not tested in v10) allow you to specify the dnd5e helpers cover calculations (in optional settings) and pick up the cover calculations from dnd5e helpers - the 4 point check setting.

[spice kraken]

It's the Walls block ranged attacks setting

[mellow atlas]

So only for automatic cover yeah?

No way to do it manually?

[gilded yacht]

If you are using dnd5e helpers and it upgrades the AC of the target, then that should be reflected in midi's hit/miss calculations (at least as far as my hazy memory of the workflow) - I think dnd5e helpers will add an effect to the target to give it a bonus to AC. Top be honest it's been months since I looked at this so could all be nonsense on my part.

[dark canopy]

Effect on the attacker

[spice kraken]

But only for v9 I believe cause there isn't a v10 version of helpers

[dark canopy]

Cover on target can be turned off and use can use the R key for manual checks

[dark canopy]

And likely won't be

[mellow atlas]

I'll keep trying. Wasn't working for me so far. Thanks

[vast sierra]

Love yours and Kand's work and passion. Sad day I hate being reminded of 🥺

[spice kraken]

Another reason I'm glad I'm still on v9 and will be for some time

[dark canopy]

Since it's MIT. Our cover calculator could be integrated directly into midi. I really like it, maybe it will come back in the future in some form

[snow quarry]

Hey all! Would it be terribly complex to have a 'Cover' condition that only applied to ranged attacks?

Ideally it would somehow detect the angle (which I doubt is possible) but the first option should be!

example

[dark canopy]

Iff v9. 5e helpers

[snow quarry]

Oh neat, I'll try to find out if it we works with sw5e, thanks!

[dark canopy]

Is it a full system or a mod?

[snow quarry]

It it it's own system. But so far most 5e stuff works with it that I've tried

[dark canopy]

Ah. Helpers won't, sorry

[snow quarry]

Bummer. Then back to the OG question! I'm sure midiqol has a way to differentiate between Melee and ranged, right? I'm just unsure how to do that part

[mellow atlas]

I want to use Spiritual Weapon every turn using Midi QOL. Was recommended to pop out the spellcard. How do you guys handle such spell effects which last through multiple rounds?

[opaque current]

Warp Gate to spawn an actor IMO

[kind cape]

Isn't that in the sample module already?

[kind cape]

What is the end goal here? Just to apply -2/5 to attacks that are ranged always?

[mellow atlas]

warp gate?

[opaque current]

A mod for spawning stuff basically

[mellow atlas]

Triggering an actor + consuming the spell slot does sound the most reasonable. I will look into the Warp Gate module, thanks!

[kind cape]

@mellow atlas Are you on V9 or V10?

[snow quarry]

End goal I think it to create a 'cover' condition that grants additional ac against ranged attacks, as well as the usual dex bonus to saves.

I figure ac only from ranged since is someone is within melee range you rarely have cover imo

Once I get a template I can tweak it for my 4 layers of cover within sw5e

Reason being is I use alot of automation so ideally I don't want Things to hit that shouldn't

[kind cape]

Well, easiest way, since you will have to apply the condition manually anyway, is just to give the person +2 AC. But if you really want it to reduce the attack instead then you will want to use flags.midi-qol.grants.attack.bonus.rwak with a negative add, eg.

Of course all of this assumes you want to apply a condition to the target, if you instead want to apply it to the attacker you will want to use data.bonuses.rwak.attack

[snow quarry]

I'd apply the condition to the target for this

[dark canopy]

Keep in mind permission issues with unowned tokens

Helpers applied it to the attacker for this reason

[mellow atlas]

v9

[short aurora]

DFred's Convenient Effects works with sw5e if that's anything, it has status effects for covers already implemented per dnd5e rules, can adjust those if you want.

[kind cape]

@mellow atlas Then take a look at https://foundryvtt.com/packages/midi-srd it has a premade item for Spiritual Weapon that works

[snow quarry]

Oh sick, I will check It out- thanks everyone

[kind cape]

@vast bane Here is a setup for having additional effects applied if they fail an additional DC:

Any initial effects that always happen if the save is failed can go directly on the item.

Set an onUse to happen "After Active Effects".

Call a macro, here is the code, should be easy to modify:

const workflow = MidiQOL.Workflow.getWorkflow(args[0].uuid);

let saveResult = workflow.saveResults[0].total;

if(saveResult < 5) {
  await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({ effectName: "Lightning Inhibition", uuid: args[0].targets[0].actor.uuid });
}

(This is an example of a DC 16 item with an additional effect at DC 5)

[violet meadow]

I think you can do that with activation conditions too. Or does the activation condition resolve before this can be evaluated?

[kind cape]

I don't think you can tie different activation conditions to two effects on the same item?

[violet meadow]

Yeah that doesn't sound doable. I was talking about your shared macro example

[kind cape]

Well thats what that macro was for 😛 But with 1 effect always applied and 1 conditionally based on save

(Always if the save is failed)

[violet meadow]

Ah I just checked the macro not the premise of it 😁

[kind cape]

Makes sense ^^

[short aurora]

I showed a likewise feature to tposney and yes, resolved before it can be evaluated

[vast bane]

Maybe I am not getting this, but doesn't that code mean that the thing only applies if the save result is 4 or lower? Not failed by 5 or more?

So for my item, it would read if(saveResult < 8)

[kind cape]

Yeah, that is correct, my case was a DC 16 and DC 5 ^^

[vast bane]

k, so it needs to change for various effects if the DC changes, just makin sure cause the 5 had me almost there just cause my qualifier was also a 5

[kind cape]

Ah yeah 😅

It should be possible to fetch the DC and set the extra DC based on the primary one thoug

[scarlet stump]

does anyone have a way to build some automation for "upgradeable" conditions, like Exhaustion? So that the first time it is applied it's Condition Tier1, then Tier2 and so on. I have a script for that but it's a large unwieldy beast that leverages dfreds macros to remove the existing one and adding the new one, but maybe there's a simpler way with midi/dae/item macros

[vast bane]

I never have had to deal with it without being able to just apply dfreds manually

[kind cape]

Tidy has it built-in as well

Just enable it in the settings and it will apply the correct ones from DFreds

[scarlet stump]

Yeah but I want to build a custom condition that does the same thing dfreds does for exhaustion.

[kind cape]

AFAIK CE will prioritize custom effects over inbuilt

[vast bane]

Hey, your macro you gave me above works perfectly except that the Unconscious status effect applies inactive?

[kind cape]

So as long as you have the same amount of levels you can just duplicate and modify

[scarlet stump]

This is the relevant part from the scaling morale condition I wrote, but there may be an easier way. I was wondering if there was some built in logic to do the same given a set of conditions with the same name

let hasWaveringApplied = await game.dfreds.effectInterface.hasEffectApplied('Morale: Wavering', uuid);
      let hasBreakingApplied = await game.dfreds.effectInterface.hasEffectApplied('Morale: Breaking', uuid);
      let hasFleeingApplied = await game.dfreds.effectInterface.hasEffectApplied('Morale: Fleeing', uuid);
        if (!hasWaveringApplied) {
          await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({ effectName: 'Morale: Wavering', uuid });
        } else if (!hasBreakingApplied) {
            await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({ effectName: 'Morale: Breaking', uuid });
          } else if (!hasFleeingApplied) {
            await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({ effectName: 'Morale: Fleeing', uuid });
          } else {
            console.log('Nothing to do!');
          }

[kind cape]

Hmm, huh, that sounds weird 🤔

I think that might be a DFreds quirk

[vast bane]

Can someone else test this with dfreds CE please? It appears that vanilla unconscious with dfreds CE is setup wrong:

just apply unconscious to a token

[kind cape]

Duplicate it and fix it, then try again

[vast bane]

well yeah but we should let dfred know

if its not just me

[scarlet stump]

I've tried and it didn't work; I've check with dfreds and they said there is some background automation for Exhaustion, so simply copying the effect and renaming it won't work

unless something has changed in the later versions ofc, this was a couple of months ago

[vast bane]

pretty sure theres a bunch of modules that automate exhaustion, like rest/recovery

does anyone else see unconscious as applying inactive from dfreds panel?

[scarlet stump]

yeah but I don't need to automate exhaustion 🙂 I want to do something like what dfreds does for exhaustion for other scaling conditions

[kind cape]

Hmm, no yeah way to do it then yeah

[kind cape]

Nope, neither when I copy it nor apply it is it suspended 🤔

[scarlet stump]

this is what it does for me, but I'm on v9 so maybe older dfreds version

[vast bane]

what version are you on?

[kind cape]

V9

[vast bane]

This is what I wanna know:

and I need to know dfreds ce version

[scarlet stump]

ah no it's temporary for me

[vast bane]

what version of dfreds ce you two got?

[kind cape]

2.7.3

[vast bane]

well shit now I'm worried

[scarlet stump]

CE 2.6.1

[vast bane]

I have 2.7.3

[scarlet stump]

panel 1.5.1

[vast bane]

I know I can duplicate it but that shouldn't be the actual problem if yours is fine and mineisn't

[kind cape]

That's really odd, maybe a quick reinstall of CE is a good idea

[vast bane]

OH

Fey Ancestry

[kind cape]

😂

[vast bane]

Thats what I get for testing a drow ability on a drow

Interesting way of stopping it from applying though

[kind cape]

Ci stands for condition immunity

[vast bane]

heres the even funnier part, I dragged outa player to test it on too and they had fey ancestry

[kind cape]

It just modifies the standard traits

[vast bane]

So first I tried a drow, then I tried the bugbear player, both having fey ancestry lol

[kind cape]

This is why I have a test target with 1 ac, 10 in all stats and no special stuff 😛

[vast bane]

I didn't wanna shift my page, I normally hadv 3 dummies on the landing page

[kind cape]

😂

[scarlet stump]

Ok I wrote the macro to add or remove levels of the condition from a token. How can I make it run so that it gets applied when I hit an enemy with a spell? This is the current code:

let uuid = token.actor.uuid;
let hasLvl1Applied = await game.dfreds.effectInterface.hasEffectApplied('Contamination I', uuid);
      let hasLvl2Applied = await game.dfreds.effectInterface.hasEffectApplied('Contamination II', uuid);
      let hasLvl3Applied = await game.dfreds.effectInterface.hasEffectApplied('Contamination III', uuid);
      let hasLvl4Applied = await game.dfreds.effectInterface.hasEffectApplied('Contamination IV', uuid);
      let hasLvl5Applied = await game.dfreds.effectInterface.hasEffectApplied('Contamination V', uuid);
      let hasLvl6Applied = await game.dfreds.effectInterface.hasEffectApplied('Contamination VI', uuid);
        if (!hasLvl1Applied) {
          await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({ effectName: 'Contamination I', uuid });
        } else if (!hasLvl2Applied) {
            await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({ effectName: 'Contamination II', uuid });
          } else if (!hasLvl3Applied) {
            await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({ effectName: 'Contamination III', uuid });
          } else if (!hasLvl4Applied) {
            await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({ effectName: 'Contamination IV', uuid });
          } else if (!hasLvl5Applied) {
            await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({ effectName: 'Contamination V', uuid });
          } else if (!hasLvl6Applied) {
            await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({ effectName: 'Contamination VI', uuid });
          } else {
            console.log('Nothing to do!');
          }

[kind cape]

A specific spell or any spell from a specific character?

[scarlet stump]

several spells/attacks would use the same logic to add levels of contamination. No specific caster

[kind cape]

It that case you will have to add it to each of the spells in the details tab, near the bottom

Click the ➕, type the macro name in the box, and use the dropdown to select when it should be run

[scarlet stump]

gotcha...I guess it would have to be the uuid of the target instead of the caster though? Unless of course is the caster that's getting contaminated by casting the spell 🤣

[spice kraken]

That + is nonexistent in darkmode, haha

[kind cape]

It really is 😛

[scarlet stump]

Yeah I had to mouse over it to see what it was 🤣

[kind cape]

Yeah, it should be 😛

[scarlet stump]

mm it doesn't like my uuid declaration

let uuid = token.actor.uuid; I guess even if I have a token selected (this spell contaminates the caster) I would have to write it differently if it's ran from the item

[kind cape]

@vast bane

const workflow = MidiQOL.Workflow.getWorkflow(args[0].uuid);

let saveResult = workflow.saveResults[0].total;

if(saveResult < args[0].item.data.save.dc) {
  await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({ effectName: "Lightning Inhibition", uuid: args[0].targets[0].actor.uuid });
}

This should scale on the DC set on the item, untested though 😛

[kind cape]

Try let uuid = args[0].targetUuids[0]

[scarlet stump]

this is if I want to "contaminate" the target, right? What if I want to do it to the caster instead? 🙂

[kind cape]

let uuid = args[0].actorUuid

[vast bane]

I think there needs to be math in there. args[0].item.data.save.dc - 5

otherwise you are just defining the standard method of a save

[kind cape]

Fair point, was mostly an example of getting the DC, untested as I said 😉

[vast bane]

I wonder if I should put parenthesis around the math too

I'll test it later

[scarlet stump]

it works now, thanks!

[scarlet stump]

what if I'm shooting a contaminated fireball? should I leave an empty array after targetUuids? targetUuids[]?

or should I leave the first array blank instead?

[kind cape]

You want to apply it to all targets for AoE?

[scarlet stump]

yeah

not this one specifically, but for future use 🙂

do I need to add a loop?

[kind cape]

for(const targUuid of args[0].targetUuids) {
  //Do stuff here that you would do to the individual ones
  // targUuid is the UUID of the individual ones
}

[scarlet stump]

thanks again!

[kind cape]

Np ^^

[scarlet stump]

final question: let's say I want to have a failed saving throw as a condition to start the contamination logic - so that it breaks out of it early if the save is passed. How would I do that with this kind of syntax?

[kind cape]

So you want to force the user to roll a saving throw and then if they fail that then it advances the contamination?

Also is that both the caster and the target?

[scarlet stump]

yes to the first question, only the target for the second question

I don't think I have saves on the user's end

[kind cape]

Hmm, okay, so.. This is slightly more complex, but doable

[scarlet stump]

don't want to take too much of your time if it's a mess 🙂

worst case scenario I can do it manually

[kind cape]

Just trying to make sure I got it right

I would move the contamination logic into an item on its own, with the saving throw attached. Then when you roll another spell you can have the macro on the spells call MidiQOL.completeItemRoll(args[0].actor.items.getName("Contamination Item Name")) to have Midi process the item and trigger the saving throws on all the currently selected targets.

Then you will want to modify the macro on the contamination item to start with if(args[0].failedSaves.length === 0) return;

And you will want to modify the loop to be
for(const targUuid of args[0].failedSaveUuids)

Biggest annoyance about this is that the contamination item needs to be on the actor to be valid.. There is supposedly a way to bypass that, but I haven't looked into it

[short aurora]

Valid?

[kind cape]

Valid as in will process, causes an error because actor is undefined for some flow somewhere 🙄

[scarlet stump]

will give it a go, thanks!

[tawdry sail]

Is it possible to execute a macro from a compendium via DAE/MIDI? Trying to run it with Compendium.compendium-name.macro-name fails to locate the macro.

[spice kraken]

Don't think so. Why not just import it?

[tawdry sail]

It's not viable for what I am doing.

It's all automated and using Sequencer and AA for a lot of it, and it supports this format. I'll have to look at my other options I guess.

[molten solar]

I see zero reason you couldn't. Just retrieve the macro document, and run it.

Only obstacle is probably player permissions.

[molten solar]

If you have the full uuid, then... use fromUuid.

[tawdry sail]

Since I made the compendium, I have the name, the ID, and the compendium its part of. How do I get the UUID from this?
The full name for reference: Compendium.dnd5e-spell-automation.Macros.Tasha's Caustic Brew - you can guess what that refers to ^^

[celest bluff]

You can already do with on use flags

[spice kraken]

Isn't that spell a simple OT effect?

[celest bluff]

Tposney wanted this to be possible where you'd have 1 master item, then have all copies run off of it.

Nah, it's the same as ItemMacro.item name

Then you just state when it runs

[spice kraken]

Would this not work for that spell though?

[celest bluff]

If you want to get mechanical about it, it's better not use ot but a Dae each script

[spice kraken]

Why is that?

[celest bluff]

They do get a choice, but I suppose you could also wrap that into an ot but will require another macro.

They take damage then choose to remove it or not

[spice kraken]

True, that's why for this one I didn't have a save there and just manually remove the AE with Effects Panel

This does bring up a question though, can you put 2 different types of saves in an AE?

[celest bluff]

My script gives them a dialog choice

Sure

Can macro in infinite saves

[spice kraken]

I should've been more clear, that's on me. Can you do 2 different saves in an OT effect value

Something like saveAbility={dex|con}

[celest bluff]

doubt it, you'd be better off making a secondary effect to do it

You can however write small logic for conditons

[vast bane]

what does the flavor look like for no damage? and to be clear, it would definitely NEVER damage anything if I used it right? I'm trying to automate color spray and sleep

[celest bluff]

just define the damage type

can look at my gitlab

https://gitlab.com/crymic/foundry-vtt-macros/-/blob/8.x/5e/Spells/Level 1/Sleep.js

https://gitlab.com/crymic/foundry-vtt-macros/-/blob/8.x/5e/Spells/Level 1/Color Spray.js

probably needs to be updated for v10

[vast bane]

I wonder if it'd work if my cub doesn't do conditions, like its there, its just not the one handling them

[violet meadow]

You wouldn’t have any issues. The conditions are created programmatically and added by MidiQOL using sockets, not CUB (if I didn’t miss something). Just change the icon paths to the ones you want

[vast bane]

yeah but since I have cub installed for its other features, I didn't even have to change that hehe. Cause Cub exists, just not managing the conditions.

[molten solar]

const {uuid} = await game.packs.get("pack key here").getDocument("macro id here");

[molten solar]

Of course, if you have all this, just get the actual document and just run the macro lol

(if your modules allow)

[scarlet stump]

can I use a formula or references in an Effect Value field instead of a simple value? IE: I'd like to create an effect that sets the data.attributes.movement.swim value to match the existing data.attributes.movement.walk value, if the walk value is higher than the swim one.

I've tried to use Upgrade as the Change Mode and several variations of [[data.attributes.movement.walk]] for the Effect Value, but it fails

[vast bane]

you might have to wrap it in brackets but I'm pretty sure theres a midi srd or sample item that already shows you we can do it

[scarlet stump]

I'm getting a Unresolved StringTerm token.actor.data.attributes.movement.walk requested for evaluation error, so maybe I need to turn it into an integer?

[vast bane]

try custom

are you on v10?

[scarlet stump]

v9, tried custom and I get a different error

[vast bane]

should be override

probably

[scarlet stump]

dae.js:427 dae | evaluate args error: rolling data.attributes.movement.walk failed this is what I get with custom

[vast bane]

my server just rebooted so I can't test it for ya lol

its not data

I think you can @attributes.movement.swim

or whatever

[scarlet stump]

that did the trick, thanks!

the upgrade part works as well, just tested 🙂

[tawdry sail]

Heya, I am running a macro that uses MidiQOL.DamageOnlyWorkflow to apply damage to a token. However, every time I apply the damage, it is applying concentration to the target when I print the item card. Is there a way to prevent this? For context I am automating caustic brew with a DAE effect like so:

        const itemData = args[1].efData.flags.dae.itemData;
        const level = itemData.data.level;
        const damageRoll = await new Roll(`${level * 2}d4`).roll({async:true});
        new MidiQOL.DamageOnlyWorkflow(target.actor, target, damageRoll.total, "acid", [target], damageRoll, {flavor: "(Acid)", itemData: itemData , itemCardId: "new"});

[molten solar]

Midi, like most modules that do this in v9, likely applies concentration by scanning chat messages. It might work if you simply removed concentration from the fake item.

[scarlet stump]

does anyone know if there is a way to interact with the Sight Radius / Vision Limitation field added by the Perfect Vision mod from an Effect?

[tawdry sail]

itemData.data.components.concentration = false; actually stops it from happening - cheers.

[molten solar]

They are flags on either the token document or in the scene document.

[scarlet stump]

flags.perfect-vision.light.visionLimitation.sight should be the one I'm looking for, can I just use that even if it isn't recognized by the interface when I add it as an Attribute Key?

[molten solar]

Is it on the actor?

or the token or the scene

[scarlet stump]

I think the token

[molten solar]

Effects can only modify actors.

[scarlet stump]

having a look at this, not sure I see an actor flag :/ https://github.com/dev7355608/perfect-vision/blob/main/templates/vision-limitation-config.hbs

[molten solar]

Yeah I see no reason it would save that in the actor document.

Sight is a property of a token document.

[scarlet stump]

ok so no direct way to interact with it from an effect, right?

[molten solar]

Not without a macro or module. No.

[scarlet stump]

I guess I could run a macro from the effect to toggle it?

but then it would stay toggled even if the effect is removed

[molten solar]

Just slap two one-liners into Effect Macro and call it a day.

[scarlet stump]

and this is where I discover that this is a thing https://github.com/krbz999/effectmacro :v

thanks for doing this 🤣

[upbeat wedge]

Is there a way to create an item that will give a player +2 on saves versus spells that are thrown at them? In other words, +2 on DEX save for fireball, but not on DEX save for falling in a pit?

[sudden crane]

@upbeat wedge
I don’t think there is anything that allows that, there is not enough context when a save is rolled to automate that easily.
I think you could use Advantage Reminder module to at least show this to the player. The only drawback is you cannot fast forward rolls, because the reminders are displayed in the core dialog box when you use/roll an item or save

[vast bane]

well midi does distinguage magic vs non magic for magic resistance flag, so maybe theres a way with macros?

[kind cape]

Problem is that MIDI doesn't have a way to trigger a macro when being hit, only when hitting something else

[sudden crane]

Maybe it would be doable if midi offered something like flags.midi-qol.advantage.ability.save.all that allows to evaluate a condition but for bonuses instead of just advantage. It could be tricky because it would need two values, one for the bonus and one for the condition…

[vast bane]

reactions that fire macros?

You can totally pulll it off with advantage reminder

I already do it with shield master feat

[sudden crane]

It would be really cool if we could register macro being called during the workflow of other actors beside the existing reaction mechanism

[vast bane]

Advantage Reminder

[molten solar]

If the player is clicking the button in the chat, you can get the item that prompted the save from the click Event.

then use a dnd5e.preRollAbilitySave hook to add a bonus or whatever

[vast bane]

What are the odds that works with midi's full chat overhaul?

[molten solar]

Would be silly if Midi removed some core system behaviour. 🙂

[sudden crane]

How would you register the hook? In a world script?

[molten solar]

Why would a hook go anywhere else?

A simple world script:

• does the actor have this particular flag (and if so, what's the bonus)
• is there a click Event associated with the rollAbilitySave, and is the event target chat card's item a spell?
• ???
• profit

of course if you are completely wrecking the chat log (or not using it at all, depending on your module settings I bet), then 🤷

[vast bane]

we would probably need to turn off auto roll

unless auto roll counts as a click

[hazy urchin]

hello all midi big brains! im having an issue with the midi sample spirit guardians. it is not forcing saving throws/damage on enemy combatants

i have ALL the required modules installed, not sure whats going on here

[hazy urchin]

having a look into the effects tab, when i cast the spell the full effects are not being transfered to the token

on the left is the prepared spell, on the right is what appears once it had been cast

[kind cape]

You have MIDI set to only apply effects if there is no CE effect, its the CE effect you are seeing

[hazy urchin]

where would that be? in the workflow config?

[kind cape]

In the DFreds convinient effects panel

[hazy urchin]

im guess this?

[kind cape]

And yes

Its the last setting there

[hazy urchin]

what would you recommend?

apply both or only apply if absent?

[kind cape]

My recommendation would be to set up the effect on the CE one instead but if you don't use CEs much then the second one

[hazy urchin]

yeah im much more of a point and click DM, i am lost when it comes to most of the nuanced set up of these things

[vast bane]

You do not need to change that setting that way if you do not want to, at the bottom of the right spirit guardians, there will be a checkbox to override dfreds and apply the actual AE on a per item basis if you prefer dfreds first for most things.

[hazy urchin]

really? where would that checkbox be? i cant see it anywhere

[vast bane]

it will only show up if the items name is identical to the dfreds CE

[hazy urchin]

huh, ok. well i cant see it in spirit guardians

[vast bane]

you already swapped the settings 😉

[vast bane]

note the check at the bottom

I think there is also something else we're suppose to do as it doesn't work out of the box

I remember it being at the bottom of one of the effects tabs

[hazy urchin]

y'know im loving this module, but my god sometimes the amount of options is confusing lol

[vast bane]

I think he fixed it, I had told him about it and I think he actually patched it.

[dense rune]

Hey! Do anyone know how "Flaming Sphere MQ0.8.85 + warpgate" works? MIDI QOL has a flag called "flags.midi-qol.OverTime" which is supposed to do whatever action you want overtime.

But it looks like Falming Sphere is not working because I'm able to spawn it but it doesn't do any damage to nearby enemies.... Any clues?

[dense rune]

I will answer myself -> INSTALL ACTIVE AURAS

[scarlet gale]

How would I go about setting a feature / attack to apply an effect even if the target succeeds on the save with mid-qol?

[celest bluff]

A world script is only way to do this

[celest bluff]

Depending on what it is, an on use macro would be a way to pull this off.

You would just need to define it to run only on a successful save. Then let Dae handle a failed save

[scarlet gale]

So I have a monster feature that does a save for half damage, but no matter what an effect should be applied.

Should I just have a itemMacro apply the effect manually?

[celest bluff]

Or you can define them both in the same macro

[scarlet gale]

huh

Have the ItemMacro apply the effect instead of the usual way right?

[celest bluff]

half save is default for any saving throw if you don't define it to deal no damage

it will always deal half damage on success

[scarlet gale]

Yea that's fine

I'm just trying to add a rider effect that happens whether you save or not

[scarlet gale]

It's just I can't figure out an easy way to always apply the DAE effect even if it's saved

[celest bluff]

If you want a different effect for on success, you'd need to a macro

[scarlet gale]

that's what I kinda thought

[celest bluff]

have the item do the saving throw. DAE only handles failed saves

[scarlet gale]

game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect seems to be what I want to use I think

and just make the effect as a custom DAE

[celest bluff]

this a single hit spell or an aoe spell?

[scarlet gale]

single hit

My plan is to just use the targeted creature with game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({ effectName: 'Bane', uuid });

well

not bane

but my custom effect that's setup in DAE

args[0].hitTargetUuids[0] should be the uuid I think?

[celest bluff]

const lastArg = args[args.length - 1];
const target = canvas.tokens.get(lastArg.tokenId):
if(lastArg.saves.length === 0) return {};
await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({ effectName: 'Bane', uuid: target.actor.uuid });

You could do something as simple as

[scarlet gale]

beat me to it

Are you familiar with the module effect macro?

[dense rune]

🙂

[kind cape]

Make sure this setting is on

It will still not cause a template to appear, but it should target them correctly

[dense rune]

Oh! Let me try!

[kind cape]

Unless the spell is not cast on top of the caster? What spell in particular is this?

[orchid hound]

this would not work in there case, as they are looking for a template, not just a single target

and it has a range. so, it is not centered on the caster

[celest bluff]

which one? dfreds? I personally don't use it in active game play, but I do use it for testing purposes

mostly to make sure my active effects are compatible with modules like monks

[scarlet gale]

Zhells's

Long story short you can make a macro run on an effect on creation

[celest bluff]

You can do that with DAE

[scarlet gale]

as a flag right?

[celest bluff]

I guess there'd be an advantage to that if you're new.. but not needed

[dense rune]

It is Spirit Totem (class feature)

[celest bluff]

nah it has macro.execute built in or you can wrap it into item macro

[karmic idol]

Hey guys does anyone use the module: LootsheetNPC5e?

[kind cape]

Ah, yeah then thats a bit more complex

[dense rune]

I am trying to automatise the whole process of the spirit totem thing with this macro -> (plus aura effects)

console.log("comienza la fiesta")
console.log(args);
if (args[0].tag === "OnUse") {
    const casterToken = await fromUuid(args[0].tokenUuid);
    const caster = casterToken.actor;

    let dialog = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        new Dialog({
            title: 'Choose a totem: ',
            content: `
              <form class="flexcol">
                <div class="form-group">
                  <select id="element">
                    <option value="bear">Bear Totem</option>
                    <option value="hawk">Hawk Totem</option>
                    <option value="unicorn">Unicorn Totem</option>
                  </select>
                </div>
              </form>
            `,
            //select element type
            buttons: {
                yes: {
                    icon: '<i class="fas fa-bolt"></i>',
                    label: 'Select',
                    callback: async (html) => {
                        let element = html.find('#element').val();
                        let totemActor;

                        if(element === "bear") {
                            totemActor = game.actors.getName("Bear Totem Actor");
                            let effect =  totemActor.effects.find(i => i.data.label === "Totem Effect");
                            let changes = duplicate(effect.data.changes);
                            changes[0].value = `${5 + args[0].rollData.classes.druid.levels}`;
                            await effect.update({changes});
                            resolve();
                        } else if(element === "hawk") {
                            totemActor = game.actors.getName("Hawk Totem Actor");
                        } else if(element === "unicorn") {
                            totemActor = game.actors.getName("Unicorn Totem Actor");
                        }

                        const summoned = await warpgate.spawn(totemActor.name, {}, {}, {});
                        if (summoned.length !== 1) return;

                        
                        const summonedUuid = `Scene.${canvas.scene.id}.Token.${summoned[0]}`;
                        await caster.createEmbeddedDocuments("ActiveEffect", [{
                            "changes":  [{"key":"flags.dae.deleteUuid","mode":5,"value": summonedUuid,"priority":"30"}],
                            "label": "Totem Summon",
                            "duration": {seconds: 60, rounds: 10},
                            "origin": args[0].itemUuid,
                            "icon": "icons/magic/fire/orb-vortex.webp",
                        }]);
                    },
                },
            }
        }).render(true);
    })
    await dialog;

}

It's almost done just fixing a couple of things

[karmic idol]

that's awesome O_O

[kind cape]

Effect Macro can do a couple of fancy things, like on combat start, turn start etc, and its a bit easier to use for new people ^^

[scarlet gale]

That's why I started using it lol

[celest bluff]

You can layer multiple macros on top of each in item macro, if you need to be careful about your variables and where you define them

[scarlet gale]

Seems way less complicated

at any rate, I have an onCreation macro tied to the effect

let damageTaken = 0;
for (let i = gameMessages.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
    let flavor = gameMessages[i].data.flavor || '';
    if (flavor === 'Draining Kiss') {
        const workflow = MidiQOL.Workflow.getWorkflow(gameMessages[i].data.flags['midi-qol'].workflowId);
        damageTaken = workflow.damageList[0].appliedDamage;
        break;
    }
}
if (damageTaken > 0) {
    let changes = duplicate(effect.data.changes);
    changes[0].value = -damageTaken;
    await effect.update({changes});
}```

[dense rune]

the only problem right now is that the aura effect of the bear totem (+7 of tmp hp) is now persistant when you go in and out of the zone so I'm trying to combine this macro with a normal spell execution:

1- First just cast a +7 hp life spell on every ally on a 30 feet range
2- just do the macro thing

[scarlet gale]

Pretty much on creation of the effect, it runs the macro to update the value of a flag to be the last damage from a specific feature

Might be something that should be in #macro-polo

But figured I'd ask since it's tied to what I was doing before

[celest bluff]

personally I would have 1 actor with all effects on it, then have it remove items that don't belong. You can have it rename the actor too.

[kind cape]

You are using Active Auras too?

[dense rune]

yes!

active auras are amazing so of course I am using it for this spell hehehe

but the spell has 2 parts

[celest bluff]

I've done this with Summon Fey and Aberrant

[dense rune]

1- Plus "x" hp to allies in a range of 30ft
2- An aura around of the totem with advantage rolls on several thingys

but effect 1 should only be applied once not every time you go in and out of the aura (because then you are inmortal xD)

[dense rune]

but those are just evocations right?

without any secondary effects

[celest bluff]

wouldn't matter, it's just an actor

[dense rune]

yea yea my totem is an actor

my real problem is that I need to cast a normal spell with 30ft range which targets allies (plus template, that would be nice) before applying the macro

[dense rune]

And I don't know if it's possible xD

[celest bluff]

let abilityList = ["Fuming", "Mirthful", "Tricksy"].filter(i => i !== mood);
for (ability of abilityList) {
   creatureLayout.Item[ability] = warpgate.CONST.DELETE;
}

[dense rune]

(sorry if I am asking stupid things I am a newbie)

[celest bluff]

then it just filters through and nukes what items don't belong

[dense rune]

I think we are talking about different things haha

[short aurora]

It might be easier to add the temp hp just as start of the macro instead of having it as part of the actual aura, like, just code it, because it only happens when the spell is placed

[kind cape]

Yeah I think you are talking past each other 😛

[celest bluff]

I'm talking about you only needing 1 actor instead of 3

[short aurora]

Get all your targets within the template, programmatically adding the temp HP, then just have an active-aura with the advantage stuff

[dense rune]

Ah!! Yes yes! Totally agree on that, this is just a first iteration, next iteration I will reuse a generic Totem Actor.

[dense rune]

OH OH OH That sounds like what I need! How can get all the targets within the template programmatically? Do you have an example?

[kind cape]

Well if you are running a MIDI on-use macro the targets should be available in args[0].targets IIRC

[dense rune]

oh!!!!!! And I can filter them like friendly / enemies somehow right?!

[short aurora]

I can't remember if args[0].targets is tokens or actors, but yes, they have a disposition value somewhere

[celest bluff]

you'd use active auras for something like this as already pointed out

it's an array of 5e token actors

Hawk spirit would require a world script to work 100%

or you could create a reaction item on them to cheat it.

[dense rune]

but active auras AFAIK it's used to propagate effects to other actors (persistent effects while you are in the aura) I just want to apply add +x temporal hp to allies in a 30ft range before applying the macro which actives the active aura. That's why I (think) need first to just add +xhp just once

[dense rune]

"world script" sounds like an interesting thing that I should read more about it xD

[dense rune]

key concept!

[celest bluff]

Actually you might be able to cheat the whole process, if you create an item on the target and the caster

[dense rune]

!! how is that?! 😮
