MidiQOL

[stone forge]

Oh, I checked in the item config and it just had a passive for +1 AC.

[vast bane]

as its a premade item

[stone forge]

V10

[vast bane]

well copy this, image, its only not in v10 cause the author hasn't reformated the compendium, and pro tip, you can move midi srd to v10 if you copy the compendiums it gives you in a v9 and then bring it over with your world.

[violet meadow]

Hmm which module handles Bless and which concentration?

[vast bane]

oh you probably have to replace data with system in those keys

[stone forge]

Thanks. We pay online/irl about 50 and use DDB irl so if we can have everything syncing to that was much as possible then things are a lot easier for me as the DM.

[vast sierra]

I have it going thru CE

[violet meadow]

Check the settings of CE to allow players to delete effects

[vast sierra]

think i did, but checking because now im doubting myself 😄

[stone forge]

I assume it's too late if I've already migrated? (In reply to your tip about inporting the compendium)

[violet meadow]

It seems like a strange interaction otherwise

Haven't tested lately though

Concentration by midi should be handling that.

Check DAE settings too 🤔

I have dismantled my server as I am moving some stuff around the house and I cannot check myself now

[tawny cipher]

I'm try to take the Dragon Slayer Longsword in the MidiQol Conpendium and change to a wolf but it's not rolling the extra damage. I changed the type for a wolf to custom type "wolf" and it changed the "dragon" in the activation conditions fo the weapon to "wolf" and it didn't work.

[vast sierra]

(showing two effects on Kuraga).. If I remove concentration, it drops Shield of Faith (the spell I cast second) So concentration is assigned correctly, just getting error that player doesn't have the permission to delete it (checked sequencer and dae and midi and CE.. im at a loss).. will get screenshot of where it's failing in code

this part if click the js code at end

[violet meadow]

Hmm it uses the.deleteEmbeddedDocuments which means that the player is missing the proper permissions to delete active effects

I think that should be going through the midi socket to execute as GM instead

From which module is that code?

[vast sierra]

So, order is 1) Cast bless, Thing work great. 2) Cast Shield of Faith, pop up warning on concentrating on another spell, hit ok. Click thru to cast, warning fires. 3) Concentration drops on bless, goes up on Shield of Faith (on caster), but the Bless effect stay (because lack of permisison) and it adds Shield of Faith (just trying to get the full explination)

[violet meadow]

Yeah shield of faith is cast to self?

Bless to self and others?

And cannot delete the bless from others

Is this snippet from MidiQOL or another module?

[vast sierra]

Guessing it's Midi ?

[violet meadow]

And do you use a macro in the bless item maybe?

[vast sierra]

And both spells are being cast on a token they dont own (another player)

[violet meadow]

Does it have a DAE effect on?

[vast sierra]

It's getting it from CE.. here's the spell (to show no item macro/ onuse)

[violet meadow]

Check for DAE effect on Bless

[vast sierra]

and this is my midi settings

[violet meadow]

You might need to bring tposney in on that as I cannot test right now 🤔

[vast sierra]

Update works as expected, in combat... it was out of combat it fails Oops, wrong. Was testing on GM log in, not the player incognito log in. Still fails with permission issue in combat.

[celest bluff]

GM has to be logged in

[vast sierra]

GM is logged in

(it's how i accidentally thought it worked in combat, was on wrong screen) 🙂

and just made a test world with only CE and MIDI (and required modules) and get same error

@gilded yacht please ☝️

(and yes , i know About time not required, but it's a Tpos module and had it enabled in case it was because i didnt have an active combat ) 🙂

[bitter delta]

Hi everybody, amateur question here. I'm trying to set up an attack for a creature which on a hit will deal damage and impose the convenient effects grappled condition. How would I do this?

[violet meadow]

@vast sierra I just reproduced

Yeah something is really off 🤔

[vast bane]

add an active effect that does not transfer on equip, have no boxes checked on the first tab at all, then for the actual effect key, make it do macro.ce or statuseffect | Custom| Grappled(chosen by the drop down if you have DAE installed)

If you do statuseffect, JUST grappled shows up on the token, if you do macro.ce the icon of the attack also accompanies the status effect on it.

[whole bolt]

Hey guys, using this macro by Crymic from a LONG time ago, can anyone suggest what would need changing to make it work in V9? (Tasha's Caustic Brew)

OR is there already an automatic Caustic Brew that others know about?

if(args[0] === "each") {
   const lastArg = args[args.length-1];
   let token = canvas.tokens.get(lastArg.tokenId);
   let itemD = lastArg.efData.flags.dae.itemData;
   let level = itemD.data.level;
   let damageRoll = new Roll(`${level*2}d4`).roll();
   new MidiQOL.DamageOnlyWorkflow(actor, token, damageRoll.total, "acid", [token], damageRoll, {flavor: "(Acid)", itemData: itemD , itemCardId: "new"});
}

[spice kraken]

If no one knows, that's a simple OT effect

[whole bolt]

How do you make an OT effect?>

[whole bolt]

not a coder - rely on what other people have shared in foundry chats 😆

Yeah ok...

So just copy that and itll work?

[spice kraken]

Yup, it's pretty straight forward once you read the readme for midi in the pins here

Some can be weird like Hunger of Hadar but still easily doable

[whole bolt]

Wowsers... 🤔
Thanks for that

Yea ok... works easily. so good lol

[tawny cipher]

I'm try to take the Dragon Slayer Longsword in the MidiQol Conpendium and change to a wolf but it's not rolling the extra damage. I changed the type for a wolf to custom type "wolf" and it changed the "dragon" in the activation conditions fo the weapon to "wolf" and it didn't work.

[visual night]

Is midi the replacement for better rolls in functionality ?

[stoic seal]

Nope

That’s ready set roll

[gilded yacht]

It's definitely a midi issue. I will have a look into it.
OK, I can repro the issue. I can see why it's failing (as @violet meadow mentioned it should be executeasGM), but what I don't understand why it has not always failed, since it definitely used to work. Very strange.

[marsh crescent]

perhaps Beast? Since that is the actual Creature Type?

Not sure if you can target a Custom Type

[coarse mesa]

Hiya @violet meadow – just curious if you have a Sickening Radiance already sitting in your arsenal? The damage part seems easy enough (a la Cloudkill example), but the stacking exhaustion is something which would be great to automate but I'm not sure how

[scarlet gale]

Overtime effects can call macros iirc. Have it swap out effects depending on how many they already have

[stoic seal]

Question but does the Build-a-bonus module work along Midiqol?

[violet meadow]

yes it does for the most part

issue with spell dc bonuses last i checked

[violet meadow]

I remember having worked on one but i cannot check now. My server is off till Monday

[molten solar]

It uses the preDisplayCard hook for a visual change on the dc, which Midi ignores for good reason.
The rest are the dnd5e.preRollAttack, dnd5e.preRollDamage, dnd5e.preRollAbilitySave, dnd5e.preRollDeathSave, and dnd5e.preRollHitDie hooks.
@gilded yacht can confirm what Midi does to those. If Midi does not skip these, babonus works with no issue.

[coarse mesa]

I figured you must have haha, all good – no hurry

[stoic seal]

What exactly do you mean by skip?

[violet meadow]

On that front, I can see an open issue in midiqol by tposney, named Migrate from wrapping dnd5e functions to using the provided hooks

[molten solar]

Completely ignores.

I haven't tested myself.

[stoic seal]

So I can’t have midi affect those while also using build a bonus for those rolls then?

Does this mean fast forward in regard to those rolls?

[molten solar]

babonus applies all bonuses before fast-forward matters.

[violet meadow]

Recreating how Spirit Guardians work in combination with a bit changed script from the attached for DFreds CE exhaustion levels should do it ```js
const targetActor = args[0].failedSaves[0].actor;
if (targetActor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label.includes("Exhaustion"))) {
const exhaustionLevel = Number(targetActor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label.includes("Exhaustion")).label.split('n ')[1]);
const newExhaustionLevel = Math.clamped(exhaustionLevel + 1, 1, 6);
if (newExhaustionLevel > 5) {
await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({effectName:'Dead', uuid:targetActor.uuid});
return;
}
const effectName = "Exhaustion "+newExhaustionLevel;
await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({effectName, uuid:targetActor.uuid});
}
else await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({effectName: 'Exhaustion 1', uuid:targetActor.uuid});

[violet meadow]

You are OK to use them. I have tested them out with the exception of spell dc

[stoic seal]

Hmm then in that case not sure why bonuses aren’t showing. Could it be because I imported character from dndbeyond?

[molten solar]

lol

Yes

[stoic seal]

Oh

Lol

I was wondering how come nothings working

[molten solar]

I mean, babonus does not exist on dndbeyond.

the importer does not know about it

You have to create the bonuses in Foundry

[coarse mesa]

Amazing, thank you!

[violet meadow]

Thats v10 compatible (small changes needed for v9, namely replace label with data.label)

[molten solar]

Feel free to ping me with an image of how you set up the bonus in #dnd5e.

[celest bluff]

my caustic brew has much more code than that lol

[whole bolt]

Yea that was a code block you gave someone about 2 years ago

[grim bane]

Probably a bit late but according to your screenshots it looks like you've written "itemMacro" without a capital i. As far as I can remember the module was a bit petty about that. Maybe that's the solution.

[stoic seal]

@molten solar this is what I have

nothing shows in damage roll. I also switch to fresh srd foundry class

[celest bluff]

I do need to rewrite it, so I'll come out with a newer version it

[molten solar]

is the spell set to use Charisma or Spellcasting?

ah--

@abilities.cha.mod, not @attributes

[stoic seal]

@molten solar It Works! Thank you very much. I feel silly missing that mistake

[steel apex]

Oooh I’ve not heard of Babonus before….going to look into it.

[bitter delta]

Brill, Got it working, cheers!

[celest bluff]

@hidden swift ```js
const value = token.actor.system.abilities.cua_0.value;
await token.actor.update({ "system.abilities.cua_0.value": value + 1 });

this is `never` called to in the macro. it will go off the selected token, which is bad. so what you're trying to do is a add a +1 stat value to whatever `cua_0` is?

Make sure to check `only apply during the current combatants turn`
```js
const lastArg = args[args.length -1];
let tactor;
if (lastArg.tokenId) tactor = canvas.tokens.get(lastArg.tokenId).actor;
else tactor = game.actors.get(lastArg.actorId);

if (args[0] === "each") {
const value = tactor.getRollData().abilities.cua_0.value;
await tactor.update({ "system.abilities.cua_0.value": value + 1 });
}

[tranquil cloak]

does anyone know what the "Show a players' damage card " option does? I've tried testing it and see no difference

[gilded yacht]

It shows a cut down damage card to the players (but not the GM). That way (if you want) they can see the damage done to the target.

[tranquil cloak]

Hmm, maybe I'm just missing something, but it doesn't appear to be doing anything for me.

its suppposed to show a limited version of this?

[timber oyster]

Hi people, im running latest 9 version and im checking if everything in my autoamtion settings work nicely, and there's only 1 thing not running nicely, when a reaction is called by MidiQol and the token sets a reaction that creates an active effect it shows the dialog to apply but it doesnt apply it automatically, so for example, midiqol does the damage before shield is applied, you can still activate it manually through the chat but you get hti before that, so its kinda useless for the first attack, my options for that are the ones in the image, anyone fixed that? Im running all midiqol recommeneded modules
Imagen
Also when an aoe is thrown from self it attacks self, but i dont really think that's fixable at all

[kind cape]

For the second one, what is your targeting options set to?

[timber oyster]

Let me check

I have DF template enhancements installed, will try with that one

nope, still targeting themselves

[vast sierra]

AOE's not targetting self, is set in the spell details here (set Range third box, to special, to ignore the caster)

[timber oyster]

Thanks! will remember and reapply those changes when i reimport from dndbeyond

[real junco]

Afternoon. I'm currently hiding entire gm roll but players still get a card, even if the content is mostly missing. How can I hide that card from them or is that not possible?

[vast bane]

I have never seen this card before, so I ponder if maybe you are using naughty modules that don't work well with midi, but however, to hide cards its this setting in midi's settings:

[real junco]

I have those settings enabled currently. Must be another module freaking it out then I guess. Thanks for the help Moto!

[kind cape]

That looks like maybe a cross of the beams, e.g. multiple roller modules

[vast bane]

I didn't want to pry but yeah, it did look like they were not using midi, but one of the other ones

so midi's settings effect midi's rollcards, not RSR's

[real junco]

Hahaha, thanks, I'll take a look then. Not a clue what it might be yet
As another question, which I guess could be the same thing, I can't seem to let my players auto apply their own healing. I need to approve it with the little tick mark in chat. They auto apply damage however. I have my own attacks to not auto apply damage so I can be lenient where needed

[vast bane]

yeah you got module conflicts

[real junco]

Sad times. I'll get hunting. Thanks!

[vast bane]

show us the details tab of a healing spell or ability

[vast bane]

I don't see tell tale signs of other rollers in there and it seems setup, weird. Maybe your settings are wrong in midi?

what does a damage and healing look like in chat

[real junco]

I don't have any other roller I know of. I do get this prompt tho:

[vast bane]

thats the dm';s midi card, normal behavior, if you arent automating damage application fully than it can be situational

Your settings here would be thats causing intermittent issues:
(mines set to full for all)

the first drop downis probably set to npcs only

[real junco]

So for a player. Their damage auto applies to enemies isntantly, the healing needs me to confirm. They just see the attack card and heal cards. I see:

This is my settings

[vast bane]

your settings are indeed (npc only)

[real junco]

Is it the auto apply damage part?

[vast bane]

healing is infact damage

[real junco]

Yeah, it makes sense. Thanks Moto, that explains it

There no way I can get around that? I'd like their healing to work right away but I don't want my damage on them to do so

[vast bane]

not that I'm aware of, but I'm the kind of dm who prefers all that automated, I leave floating text turned on and the players see all in chat to question if they want to, and we just let midi handle the boring math

[real junco]

Yeah, I had a problem with that being new myself and the players being new. An encounter that should have been fairly straightforward according to the adventure was slaughtering them. So I wanted to not auto-apply and hide the rolls so I could be lenient if needed. Didn't want them killed at lvl 1

[short aurora]

I believe I wanted the same at some point and the answer is that dnd5e doesn't differentiate between healing as anything but damage. I macroed all self healing abilities to... well, self-heal and left targetted spells alone because they kept forgetting to not target monsters with it

[vast bane]

I get that is a problem when starting out, but imo its better to be honest with your players and tell them you messd up and that you would adjust on the fly, hiding it from the players and fudging is a topic of highly contraversial issues and I always avoid doing it and explain to the players when I need to do a fudge-like behavior openly.

My ability to balance encounters improved dramatically when I abandoned the calculators shared liberally all over and just went with xanathar's encounter table data which is found in a UA for free also

https://media.wizards.com/2016/dnd/downloads/Encounter_Building.pdf

[real junco]

That makes sense and sounds completely reasonable. I guess it was more surprising since it was an official adventure so them getting destroyed like that at an encounter designed from them was unexpected. I guess I'll need to learn myself what they can and can't handle 😅
I'll take a look at that too. Maybe adjust the official encounters if I feel they're a tad unfair

Thanks Moto, big help!

[vast bane]

also make sure your version of published adventures have their errata handled

many adventures had erratas that fixed accidental CR mismatches, noteably Hoard of the DQ and Waterdeep Dragonheist

But also some fights are not meant to be fought, properly telegraphing to them before hand so they know how to behave can save their bacon sometimes too, sometimes players need to experience Gandalf vs a Balrog

The troll fight at the beginning of Dragonheist is precisely that scenario.

If you took the above UA tables and looked at the dragonheist first chapter, the troll fight and the Illithid would be ridiculous, but the context matters. In the troll fight, its stated that Durnan takes on the troll while the players help dispatch the flying things and in the Illithid scene, it considers the players beneath them and just ignorantly walks through them and leaves, to show how small the players seem tothe world.

[real junco]

It's HOTDQ for me. I do know that the Beyond version has the errata in but it doesn't change too much for the difficulty from what I know. They ran into a group of kobolds and cultists and got mowed down

I do have some fights like with the dragon I've tried to do like you've said above, that went a bit better

[vast bane]

Also not every fight is a deathmatch, sometimes enemies just want to take their stuff and leave them alive.

[real junco]

Ohhh, that's a good idea!

I never thought of that. Would be interesting

I like that a lot

[vast bane]

In my current dotmm campaign, one of the floors if they fail, it triggers a side story arch where they are in a race against time to find their gear after succumbing to the bad guys, cause they wake up impregnated with demons that will kill them if they can't find the healer their focus to cast lesser restorations. The key in this situation is to not force that scenario cause then it feels like railroading, I just keep it in the back burner ready to fire if the players wind up biting off more than they can chew.

[real junco]

Ahhh, interesting. Thanks Moto, that's a big help too, I'll consider preparing sort of contingencies

[tranquil cloak]

Is there a way using midi to have an effect add a level of exhaustion and then have the effect be deleted while the level of exhaustion stays?

I'm trying to have my players gain +1 exhaustion at 0 HP without ending up with a ton of effects on a character each one adding +1 exhaustion.

On that note, is it possible to reference the stack count of an effect in the effect? So like +1 per stack?

[tranquil cloak]

like could I make this +1d8 per stack?

[molten solar]

Why would you even add an effect then? Effects are for temporary changes.

Just update the actor to have +1 level of exhaustion.

[tranquil cloak]

I don't know how to automate that without effects. I know its dumb, but i like trying to automate as much as ppossible

[molten solar]

const e = STEVE.system.attributes.exhaustion;
await STEVE.update({"system.attributes.exhaustion": Math.clamped(e + 1, 0, 6)});

where STEVE is the actor.

just do the Midi thing™️ that gets the actor

Hell, just slap that on an 'on create' macro with Effect Macro, and have the effect itself do nothing.

[vast bane]

does dnd5e now automate the effects of exhaustion Zhell?

[molten solar]

No

[vast bane]

I think thats the whole point there for them then, they want the exhaustion automation of dfreds/cub?

[tranquil cloak]

no, I want the application to be automatic at 0 HP. I alreeady have effects setup for the effects

[vast bane]

I think cub can pull that off, not sure about midi+dfreds

[short aurora]

stackCount https://gitlab.com/tposney/dae#stackable-effects

[vast bane]

now you got me wondering if adding exhaustion to the sheets automate with midi lol

[tranquil cloak]

Thank you, I loooked all oover the midi page for this, but I guess it was in DAE

[vast bane]

I don't deal with exhaustion enough in my sessions to need to automate it or put this much effort into it, I wonder if theres a way where if a sheet gains a level of exhaustion the appropriate effect gets auto applied.

[short aurora]

For the automation of giving an actor +1 exhaustion when hitting 0, then yeah, I believe you can do that with Triggler of CUB. A world script could do it. If you really want, a macro in an effect with args[0] == on will only apply it when the effect is applied, so it wont be removed when the effect is removed

[tranquil cloak]

I have that setup. I would use that to also setup for at 0 health except CUB adds effects on triggers, so I'd need an effect that adds a level of exhaustion that triggers at 0 HP.

[short aurora]

Really a pick your poison kind of deal, there's no complete solution, I personally stole thatlonelybugbear's macro for my exhaustion automation

[vast bane]

Have the macro from cub fire and utilize like an imput like apply dfreds CE's Exhaustion level X where X is the value you pull out of the character sheet where the exhaustion level is referenced

or cubs exhaustions

Everytime I see talk of exhaustion, I can't help but wonder wtf you guys are doing to your players though lol, like at best I see 1 level of exhaustion from chase encounters, or a frenzied barb, but wtf you guys doing to kill players via exhaustion lol.

[sturdy loom]

Can someone give me a cursory glance and let me know if I have written this macro incorrectly? For context, I'm trying to call it when a dae effect gets removed (using macro.execute), although in this, I have excluded the args[0] === "off" to test it working in the first place.

const targets = args[1];

const roll = await new Roll("3d10").roll({async: true});

new MidiQOL.DamageOnlyWorkflow(targets.actorUuid, targets.tokenUuid, roll.total, "piercing", targets, roll, {ItemCardId: "new", flavor: "piercing"})```

args[1] is @target

[short aurora]

If you, understandable, don't want effects involved, I suggest a world script for automating adding a level of Exhaustion for when a player character hits 0. Zhell might have a better input of where to throw in the hook, but maybe on updateActor and then filter on hasPlayerOwner and check for the new health value is 0.

[short aurora]

I believe that function looks for an actor object and a token object, not their Uuid, so you need to fetch them first and then refer to them.

[tranquil cloak]

This is only adding 1d8 instead of adding a d8 per stack.

@stackCount appears to always resolve to 1

[sturdy loom]

Hm. I tried this instead with that in mind

const targets = args[1];

const roll = await new Roll("3d10").roll({async: true});

new MidiQOL.DamageOnlyWorkflow(targets.actor, targets.token, roll.total, "piercing", targets, roll, {ItemCardId: "new", flavor: "piercing"})

But nothing happened; I got this error:

maybe I'm forgetting something 🤔

[spice kraken]

use ##stackCount

[tranquil cloak]

isn't that for stacks on the enemy?

[spice kraken]

Not necessarily

[short aurora]

It's for the target, if it's supposed to apply to yourself, then...

[spice kraken]

## is for for basing counts based on who has the AE

I always use it regardless of source

[tranquil cloak]

no, I mean its a buff spell

so ## reads stacks on the target right? while @ reads stacks on yourself

[spice kraken]

Correct

And if you're casting on someone else, the source actor stack count would be 0 or 1 (idr)

So that's why you'd wanna use ##

[short aurora]

That suggests your targets have neither an actor nor a token in them, define them before hand with the Uuids you had before, your code works fine once you chuck an actor and a token into them

[tranquil cloak]

I'm not casting on someone else

[spice kraken]

Try with ## and see if it works

[sturdy loom]

weird. Does @target not return the actor?

I've tried similar with args[0].actor as well

[tranquil cloak]

it did work, but now I'm confused. I guess I just read it wrong. ## does appear to be reading stacks on my character

[spice kraken]

Part of the reason I always use that instead of @

[short aurora]

I don't follow here, @target? Using your example of args, this works in my testing;

const targets = args;
const roll = await new Roll("3d10").roll({async: true});
new MidiQOL.DamageOnlyWorkflow(args[0].actor, args[0].targets[0], roll.total, "piercing", targets, roll, {ItemCardId: "new", flavor: "piercing"})```

[sturdy loom]

in the active effect, I have macro.execute custom "macroname" @target
@target should be returned as the target actor as args[1]

or their uuid; I'm not quite sure anymore

[short aurora]

Uuid. You still gotta fetch that stuff.

[sturdy loom]

Hm. Lemme try what you got then.

[short aurora]

Mine wont work, you're executing it differently, one moment

const targetToken = await canvas.tokens.get(args[1]);
const attackingActor = await game.actors.get(args[2].actorId);

const roll = await new Roll("3d10").roll({async: true});

new MidiQOL.DamageOnlyWorkflow(attackingActor, targetToken, roll.total, "piercing", targets, roll, {ItemCardId: "new", flavor: "piercing"})```

Give this a shot, when I try to execute the macro your way, it also populates args with the actor id

Whoops, there's another targets in there squint let me fix

[sturdy loom]

Ahh okay, that worked. Kinda. The damage roll goes off but it doesn't apply the damage to the target.

not automatically, at least

[short aurora]

It adheres to your midi settings, I had to put mine on full auto to test your script to begin with

[sturdy loom]

Yeah, no luck on the automated damage
I had mine already on full auto

[short aurora]

What is this supposed to automate for you?

[sturdy loom]

When the dae effect ends, it applies the damage to the affected actor.
What's not included in the macro (that's supposed to be in the final) is the if (args[0] === "off") , but I left it out to see if it would automatically apply it in the first place

[timber oyster]

Hello, about this im still trying to make shield apply before the attack hits, but i cant seem to be able to make it work, i reimported everything from ddb and no luck, anyone had this problem or may know why it happens?

[spice kraken]

Show the details tab of the item

[timber oyster]

gonna need 2 images

[spice kraken]

Does it work with a freshly made shield spell on foundry itself?

[timber oyster]

i didnt try to create one manually as i dont erally know about midiqol formulas, but i can try

[spice kraken]

And are you using Convenient Effects for the AE or have it on the item?

[timber oyster]

DAE if midiqol options are right

ah no

convenient effects

its on Apply CE if available, if not use item effects

i tested it with the other way, it didnt work either

[spice kraken]

So how does this work?

[kind cape]

Deletes the template with the UUID when the effect is removed, afaik

[spice kraken]

I'm assuming midi is auto applying that. Is there a way to make it so those AEs auto remove on current turn end?

[kind cape]

Well you could make the AE expire at the end of turn? 🤔

[spice kraken]

These spells don't have an AE by default which is why I was confused it made it after casting

[kind cape]

Ah, what's the duration of the spells? I believe the effect duration that is automatically generated is based on that

[spice kraken]

I'll check next time someone casts a spell but I don't think it had a duration

or maybe it was 1 sec, idr

[kind cape]

If the spells are set to instantaneous it should auto remove at the end of turn as far as I remember

[short aurora]

I had to sanity check several times to make sure, but with using midi qol full auto presetting, this creates an effect that hurts the affected when being applied/removed for sure;

let testActor = await game.actors.get(args[1].actorId);
let testToken = await canvas.tokens.get(args[1].tokenId);
let target = testToken;
let damageRoll = await new Roll(`1d8`).roll();
new MidiQOL.DamageOnlyWorkflow(testActor, testToken, damageRoll.total, "radiant", [target], damageRoll, {flavor: "I hurt myself today"})```

[spice kraken]

It was and didn't auto remove till manually deleting the AE

[sturdy loom]

Yup! That worked. Interestingly enough, trying it in v10 doesn't work though, but it works in v9 just fine (but I only really care about v9 working lol)

kinda weird you have to verrrrry specifically specify the references

[short aurora]

I am unsure if the function has been changed in v10, one thing to take note of is that you need to define a set for the targets (the stuff after "radiant" in my example), so if you forget the brackets you go loco for cocoa puffs trying to figure out why it's dying on iterating >_>

[spark sundial]

hey guys, I am having some difficulties with the midi qol lay on hands macro, Where at first it would work but then if I dragged the token to another scene or just delete it and dragged a new one to the same scene it will no longer work

any thougths?

[vast bane]

Is token linked and did you set resource linkage?

[spark sundial]

the token is linked. I am not sure how to do the resource linkage

just looked it up the resource is indeed linked

[celest bluff]

in DAE, the primary tokenId is the target, so you don't need to define args[1] unless you want to call the caster into it. However, You can use @target to define the target, if you're running Dae with self target. So it runs on the caster first.

[weak quest]

if you enable fast forward ability rolls and make a tool check, the value is green like it is a nat20, is this intended?

[gilded yacht]

No, it's not. I hazard a guess that it's a bug

[weak quest]

alright, do you want me to post an issue at gitlab or is this enough for a bug report?

[molten solar]

ignore me lmao

[gilded yacht]

No, just had a look and it's fixed in 10.0.15

[celest bluff]

isn't that just a default roll css? success

[gilded yacht]

Yes, but .... the setting of what's the critical threshold for a tool roll is set differently than it used to be - or something that filtered out the critical threshold is no longer doing so.

[gilded yacht]

All of the hooks will fire, since midi just calls the dnd5e rollAttack, rollData, rollAbilitySave, rollDeathSave. roll hit dice is not touched by midi. As of 10.0.15 midi will call the preDisplayCard hook.

[molten solar]

I presume Midi will (and currently does) use the item's save DC, not the actual displayed value on the saving throw?

[gilded yacht]

Midi goes an item.getSaveDC() when checking saves.

[gilded yacht]

For bab, is it possible to copy a bonus from one actor to another?

[molten solar]

You can put the bonus on an item or effect.

You can of course also copy the flag data.

And it can create auras as of 10.0.7.

[gilded yacht]

How do I embed the bonus in an item?

[molten solar]

In the header.

Same with effects.

Only the actor has the BAB hidden away in Special Traits.

[gilded yacht]

Funny, I'm not seeing the BAB in item header, but am in the effect editor. Probably dae/bab fighting over the header.

[gilded yacht]

Ah - it does not do spells?

[molten solar]

No

[gilded yacht]

That would explain me not seeing it then.

Nice module - think I'm going to use it - now for a flurry of compatibility testing

[molten solar]

background, class, subclass, spell type items are excluded from granting bonuses

and likely race too, eventually

[gilded yacht]

Race or class could be useful bonuses

[molten solar]

I don't see the point. I don't block feat-type items.

[gilded yacht]

Fair

[molten solar]

Usually similar stuff from race or background would go in Special Traits, same with many things from a class.

[gilded yacht]

I see you have an aura of protection set - can you screenshot the settings for me?

[molten solar]

Like this:

[gilded yacht]

Thanks - it was the filter 0=0 that I'd not realised.

[molten solar]

A big-brain trick.

[coarse mesa]

Why do we need 0=0? Just so I know when I jump on the BAB-wagon

[molten solar]

At least one filter is required.

[coarse mesa]

Def going to use it for pally auras

[molten solar]

I made some consumable items over the weekend that create a 1-minute duration aura on the user that do weird shit

like, "you roll +1 with all hit dice if you are within 10 ft" or "your crit range is increased by 1 for all allies within 15 ft if they have less than half their health"

[coarse mesa]

I remain ignorant but trust there’s a good reason why one filter is required

[coarse mesa]

These sound awesome!

[molten solar]

Ever wanted brutal critical but with spells?

[gilded yacht]

Is there a way to create a visual representation on the tokens affected by the aura effect? So that the roller can tell where the bonus came from.

[molten solar]

You could even do something like... give everyone within 10 ft of the rogue bonus damage equal to their sneak attack.

[coarse mesa]

Look forward to the BAB sample compendium

[molten solar]

Visual effects on the canvas are definitely not within the scope of the module.

[molten solar]

Never gonna happen. I abhor "sample" compendiums. I delete them from every module.

[gilded yacht]

Guess I'll go with flavor text then.

[molten solar]

All functions in the module are completely sync. The only async function in all the thousand lines of code is the getData.

So I couldn't make a visual effect even if I wanted to.

I just give my paladin player an item macro in their aura feature they can toggle on/off for a visual effect. Does nothing, is all for show.

[coarse mesa]

I really wish something like Active Auras was core... we had our worst flare up of our AA bug last night... Twilight Sanctuary AE got applied to some of the tokens 10-20 times 😔 Hopefully things will be better in v10 (somehow)

[molten solar]

I doubt that will happen, what with that example going past regular permissions.

You could use Effect Macro. 😎

[coarse mesa]

We have a nice fully hands-off solution with the help of a certain bugbear – but it hinges on AA working properly. Which it mostly does, but when things get hectic it seems to go awry. Tposney has kindly tried to diagnose for us but it's hard to pin down, being so intermittent. When we shift to v10 I think I'll rebuild our world from the ground up and hopefully it won't happen.

Abilities that ping on every damn turn (like 5+ times a round) are perfect for as much automation as possible, and I won't hear a word to the contrary

[molten solar]

https://tenor.com/view/reaction-avatar-rough-zuko-cartoon-gif-5144291

If this is something you use often, just make a world script tbh.

Hook on updateCombat, make sure it's the turn being advanced forward (by 1), then scan for anyone with a flag or effect 'Twilight Sanctuary', pop some temphp.

basically what EM does

[coarse mesa]

Twilight Cleric... therefore at minimum we have Spirit Guardians and Twilight Sanctuary going every combat. Every turn something is going off

[molten solar]

I have a twilight cleric myself.

[coarse mesa]

This is pretty much what's happening, but with an Item Macro... however I'm assuming you're applying said flag or effect manually if you're not using an aura

[molten solar]

Just have the cleric with an effect

write a world script to measure the distance from the current combatant to any cleric with the effect. 🤷

[coarse mesa]

I mean, that sounds awesome – if I knew how to write such a script. Maybe someone should make a module

[molten solar]

Just steal some code from EM

[gilded yacht]

How does save dc work in bab? I'm checking item.getSaveDC() and it's not returning the bonus value (or I screwed it up) where does the change to save dc get set by bab?

[molten solar]

and do canvas.grid.measureDistance(token, cleric_token)

[molten solar]

It changes the label on the displayed chat message.

Visual only, which is why that one won't work with Midi.

The alternative is using updateSource which is just gonna be hell if anything is ever cancelled.

[gilded yacht]

You're right about that. Any chance to call a hook when the change is made? I can then take note of it in midi.

[molten solar]

It happens in dnd5e.preDisplayCard

Best I can do is probably toss the final integer into the object in the hook

[gilded yacht]

That would be fine. I can grab that after the hook returns.

[molten solar]

or straight up flag the message since that's in the hook

[gilded yacht]

Flagging the message would be better - I hold on to that and can just check when fetching the saveDC from the item.

flags.babonus.saveDC?

[molten solar]

you guessed it

[hidden swift]

Thanks for your advice earlier. Bear in mind, I have little idea of what I'm doing with the code I've butchered.
My intention is to have an aura effect applied on one character (who is immune to the effect). The aura increases a custom ability score (cua_0) of those affected by 1 at the start of their turn.

Here's what I've done for the ItemMacro with your input:

`try {
const lastArg = args[args.length -1];
// Check prior to applying the effect: If the token is NOT the caster and it's their turn, they receive the effect
if (args[0] === "each" && args[1] !== lastArg.tokenId && lastArg.tokenId === game.combat?.current.tokenId) {
const sourceItem = await fromUuid(lastArg.origin);
let theActor = await fromUuid(lastArg.actorUuid);
if (theActor.actor) theActor = theActor.actor;
const lastArg = args[args.length -1];
let tactor;
if (lastArg.tokenId) tactor = canvas.tokens.get(lastArg.tokenId).actor;
else tactor = game.actors.get(lastArg.actorId);

if (args[0] === "each") {
const value = tactor.getRollData().abilities.cua_0.value;
await tactor.update({ "system.abilities.cua_0.value": value + 1 });

}
}
} catch (err) {
console.error(Test Aura, err);
}`

And here is how I have things set up UI-wise.

[hidden swift]

Unfortunately, what I have so far doesn't appear to be working in or out of combat

[violet meadow]

Exciting night (…or day) in the thread! Me likey!

[coarse mesa]

The audacity of Zhell badmouthing sample compendiums in this thread of all places!

[violet meadow]

Can you export the Item and DM it to me?

I will take a look later

[vast bane]

2 things they did in v10 that I truly believe were literally shooting themselves in the foot. Changing data.data to system, and changing the filepath of icons. And before anyone replies with theres a macro for that understand that if theres a macro, that means it could have been in the migration process. Its not, and my v10 build looks so ugly right now that I honestly don't think I will ever move my live table to anything other than v9 foundry. I'll probably sooner go back to RL tabletop before then.

[violet meadow]

The change to the paths makes sense in the long run. And data.data will work for the time being due to code that looks for that

The icons change got me too, but I ended up just moving the DND5e icons file, back to its former place, grabbing it from a previous version of the system.

The migration scripts work for almost everything

[vast bane]

Oh, I didn't think of that...I think I'm gonna use that

I don't care if I have double icons in my data folder or wherever this stuff is, i got so much space. I just don't want to have to teach my players new locations nor make them reset their icons and images for ae's and abilities.

plus some stuff isn't even in the UI, like I have a bunch of warpgate synthetic items that will be broken cause of the filestructure change, no macro will catch that stuff.

but moving it back will fix it all, thanks for the tip

Will a v10 patch/update cause the folder structure to revert you think?

[violet meadow]

Yes

[vast bane]

Or is that a dnd5e thing

[violet meadow]

Dnd 5e

[vast bane]

k so basically just add it to my backup process during a system/software update

[violet meadow]

That would work 😅

[vast bane]

although its the kind of thing that is so obvious when you forget it, that you can never forget

My druids entire sheet had broken icon links, every single thing lol

[molten solar]

The data.data to system has made a lot of things easier, it's better in the long run.

[vast bane]

I'm an endpoint user, all that translates to is alot of work to fix things between the updates. Maybe a modder will pickup the transition issues. It just seems weird to me that an update is actually a downgrade. I get that theres potential but that potential is wasted if nobody picks up the mantles that have been dropped.

But one of the greatest things about foundry is how you can stay version locked, so there is that

[molten solar]

Staying on v9 then?

[coarse mesa]

It is a bummer they couldn’t transition the icons gracefully. That seems like something a macro could fix?

[vast bane]

My v10 is a disaster, hours, maybe days of work just to get to work for the table, I won't ever update my live table till I'm on hiatus as a Dm for them

Plus there are critical modules that have no answer in v10

[molten solar]

Sorry to hear that.

[vast bane]

need ate/atl and active auras

[molten solar]

Yes, it's a one-liner.

[vast bane]

It won't catch the warpgate macros, but then again theres only like 8-10 of them I use for icon paths

[molten solar]

Correct

[vast bane]

but still, its just a needle on a rather large haystack

[molten solar]

I don't think that's how that expression goes

[vast bane]

I can't believe that ATL was the only show in town lol, like dfreds and cub coexist, was there really no other module that modded lights?

[molten solar]

... Warp Gate

[vast bane]

via active effects

[molten solar]

I never used ATL. I just used EM and WG

[vast bane]

I'm a user of macros, but I'd much rather have a UI to setup my games with, thats why I like advantage reminder vs macros for stuff

[molten solar]

dnd5e.migrations.migrateWorld()

[vast bane]

Ultimately the only aura I use you have already taken care of with BAB but theres so many midi srd spell aoe's that utilized it and I really don't want to have to go through 516 spells trying to find all the breakages.

[coarse mesa]

All I use ATL for is active effects. It’s kinda surprising you need ATL to do that? Shouldn’t you be able to affect basic stuff like lights and scale without third party help?

[molten solar]

Effects affect the actor, not token

ATL probably ran a script behind the scenes to do it

And macros are first-party lol

[coarse mesa]

Yeah and also ATL reverts back to the prototype which can be a bad thing

[molten solar]

... huh

Ok then, so in other words, use WG and EM

[violet meadow]

WG and .. something 😄

[coarse mesa]

But those require macros to be written.

[vast bane]

yeah but then I need to write a bunch of macros that were literally premades in dfreds CE up until v10 came out

[molten solar]

One line.

[vast bane]

Wonder if we can beg Dfred to just put them into the AE's?

[coarse mesa]

If only someone built a babonus-like front end for WG to do this stuff

[molten solar]

...

[vast bane]

Does effect macro store the macro in it or is it just referencing a folder macro?

[molten solar]

The former

[violet meadow]

well you could run another macro from in there 🤷

[molten solar]

You think I wanted to clutter my macro folder? Pff I laugh

[vast bane]

Man that seems like EM would be a great pair up with dfreds

almost like how midi and item macro work well together

[violet meadow]

You can make them all by yourself

[molten solar]

Tons of people probably do that

[vast bane]

And doesn't dfred have an import/export function on the custom folder, that...seems like an untapped resource kinda like automated animations auto recog import/export.

[molten solar]

You better get to writing then

[vast bane]

heh, give me one lighting macro example!

whats the torch's one liner?

[molten solar]

Here have a thousand.
#macro-polo

[vast bane]

likely going to be different between versions

[molten solar]

Not really

Non-system specific token document updates had zero change.

At worst you delete one data.

[coarse mesa]

Torch is one thing but remembering the esoterica of light animations and luminosity etc isn’t that user friendly. A front end is where it’s at

[vast bane]

Man, I used that stuff initially, but seriously, thats some resource hog stuff you can live without

Specially on a map the size of a dotmm floor

I disabled all light animations and vastly improved performance for my players on mobile and a 2006 graphics card

[coarse mesa]

But I need fairy lights for Twilight Sanctuary

[vast bane]

God, I breathed a sigh of relief when my cleric was dead set on Peace Domain.

[molten solar]

You know yall can just copy the token's light data right

[coarse mesa]

Or even a wee button in the token config header that let you save settings to an EM?

[molten solar]

... That's a one-liner.

[coarse mesa]

Everything is a one liner!

[molten solar]

Yes I made everything easy. You're welcome.

[vast bane]

Right but we're users, not writers. My one liners are usually dealing with the human senses, not code

[coarse mesa]

If we use EM to put light on a token will it revert when the effect is removed?

[vast bane]

Em has an on and off macro

so presumeably the oneliner is a toggle you put in both spots

[molten solar]

EM does what you tell it to.

So write a permanent update or write a warpgate mutation

[vast bane]

How does Conditional visibility work in v10 lol, half its effects are ATL flags.

[molten solar]

Use the invisible condition

[coarse mesa]

Gotcha. I’d happily stop using ATL if I could master this technique. But in ATL’s defense, it’s super easy just picking things from a list in the AE config

[vast bane]

Its even easier than that though

I installed ATE/ATL cause of dfreds

if you have both dfred just enables the lightsource CE's

[molten solar]

Smh, you and your fancy dropdowns holding you back from reaching peak potential

[vast bane]

for me it was just a matter of right clicking the lightsources in dfreds window and enabling them as status markers

[coarse mesa]

I’m very fussy about my light settings

[vast bane]

Anything my player can do instead of me, makes it easier for me to do the fun stuff like set a scene, or run an npc

how would EM handle faerie fire, another example of ATE performing a much needed automation

[coarse mesa]

I never thought to pop those in the token HUD, nice

[molten solar]

Sorry, I'm in SWB and don't know what Faerie Fire is /s

[vast bane]

We would need to tap someone like bugbear for those cause its an args thing

omg, it would also break on npcs that are unlinked

wow ate did more than we realized

[molten solar]

What would

[vast bane]

how does it know who to apply the debuff to, will the macro deal with only the canvas actor?

[molten solar]

Yes?

You mean EM?

[vast bane]

so lets follow that, what happens when we go to a new canvas?

the players have to then recast their lights

cause its either/or, I'm pretty sure ATE carried it over

[molten solar]

Modify the prototypetoken? No ty

You can make it do that if you want

[vast bane]

yeah thats my point, how would we know if we're modding a player character or a monster npc with 30 canvas actors linked to it

[molten solar]

token.

[vast bane]

I suppose copying their tokens would solve that but I really like my warpgate macro to summon them

[molten solar]

That is all.

[vast bane]

I really want my lights in the AE lol

[coarse mesa]

ATE and Active Auras should both be core 🙉

[vast bane]

Or someone should pick them up

and I know the hypocrisy in that statement as someone who is not a content creator nor a contributor

but those modules are pretty critical gaps in the v9-v10 jump

[coarse mesa]

Fold ATE into DAE, fold AA into midi… problem solved 🤷‍♂️

[vast bane]

(And midi srd)

yeah there is full export/import function of dfreds ce's so if you have EM installed, presumeably the data stored in them for a macro would go with them in the export file

but I really want it in the ae so it carries over instead of just being on that specific actor token.

[molten solar]

Just edit the CE and give them a macro. You can do that, right?

[vast bane]

I'm thinking moreso for how auto recog files are handed out on jb2a's server. Dfred gave us the ability to share our custom folders. Was gonna make them in v10 and then share them in gearheads so that people won't ask 1000x for the macros

[molten solar]

Yeah I don't follow.

What is the reason you can't share a macro?

[vast bane]

Cause once you get the macro shared, you have to create the CE, setup the EM parts, and then set them as status effects. Dfreds gives you a button that does all that

[molten solar]

You can't create new CEs?

[vast bane]

so instead of sharing each macro individually and injecting them into your EM'ed CE's, you instead share the exported dfreds custom folder

[molten solar]

Can't you do that?

[vast bane]

We're in an automation channel Zhell, its about skipping the steps

[violet meadow]

Well MidiQol thread so all these .. 🤣

[molten solar]

You know the EM macros are just stored as flags on the effect... right?

[violet meadow]

🧹

Hahaha

[vast bane]

Although...I get the feeling export files don't append into your folder

[violet meadow]

Exactly that Moto

[vast bane]

they probably replace

[violet meadow]

You create DFreds CEs with the EM included, export them

Done

[vast bane]

yeah, thats what I wanna do

[molten solar]

but

[vast bane]

basically doing what midi srd did in v9

[coarse mesa]

I look forward to Moto’s CE+EM sample compendium

[molten solar]

Ugghhhh

[violet meadow]

Hmm does the ATE fork have a release ready?

Why not try it for v10?

[vast bane]

I dedicate literally 4 hours a week to my v10 build and its first on my list so it will be soon™️ but honestly, I'll be begging zhell for the macros as I don't know shit about macro writing unless I can cut and paste and one liners are not things you can cut and paste to make lol.

[coarse mesa]

I heard someone finally fixed the front end preset thingy

[molten solar]

You literally just replace data with system and move on with your life...

[vast bane]

I don't even need the presets, I just want the dfreds ce's to work and the midi srd's flags for ate to work cause I carried over midi srd in my own compendium to get around the module failing to flag for v10

afaik the only spells that are broke would be anything related to lighting and maybe enlarge/reduce?

[violet meadow]

What can ATE do that WG can't 🤔

Honest question.

[vast bane]

puts them in AE's instead of macros lol

ae's matter to us plebs who don't know how to write js

[coarse mesa]

WG doesn’t put handy dropdowns in the AE config. That’s my excuse

[vast bane]

UI helps immensely with useability for features in a product

[molten solar]

console.log(foundry.utils.flattenObject(token.document.toObject().light));

There's your dropdown. 😂

[vast bane]

making an active effect is 10x simpler than editing a macro

or making a macro for that matter

Also not sure if Lukas is referring to this when they say drop down but the auto complete part of DAE helps immensely to make the active effect setups alot faster and simpler, I have even stopped looking at the cheat sheets now for advantage reminder and midi thanks to it, just type message in dae for advantage flags, and such.

[coarse mesa]

Why doesn’t warpgate have a UI? 🤔

[violet meadow]

Hmm I have a way to use WG do stuff for non macro writers (my players)

[vast bane]

It does

its just a module you add on top of warpgate

[coarse mesa]

Yup you get a dropdown for Fairy Lights etc

[vast bane]

I forget its name but I think its v10 only

[molten solar]

It is system agnostic. There is nothing for which to make a UI.

[vast bane]

Also warpgate does so much, too, that could be why

Multiple modules are utilizing warpgate aren't they? Like the wildshape module?

[violet meadow]

Yes think it as a library of predefined operations

[vast bane]

yeah

[molten solar]

That, and Arbron's, and ET.... and my world script lol

[vast bane]

Arbron's was the thing I was trying to recall thanks

[coarse mesa]

It would have to be a pretty clever UI, but it would really open things up for us non-coders

[vast bane]

man one thing I wish was fixed, is every so often, not sure why, but some ae's do not carry over their abilities icons in v9

[molten solar]

It would be literally impossible.

[vast bane]

I haven't pinned down what scenario is failing to carry it over

you go to make an effect on the item and its the basic icon

Either its an item in an editable compendium or sidebar that does it, I'm trying to replicate it

[coarse mesa]

I believe in you

[molten solar]

If you are about to say that effects default to their parent item's icon, Moto--

[violet meadow]

I give my players an input field and make them type keywords. WG teleport token.name

[vast bane]

Yep, its core stuff that does it

[violet meadow]

And ... Magic they are coders

[vast bane]

take a monster with any activateable ability, with DAE, edit the owned item and add an active effect, it creates with the icon of the ability as the ae's icon automatically on the owned item. If you drag that ability to the sidebar and repeat the process again, the ae gets a blank effect icon:

[molten solar]

Who wants to tell him?

[vast bane]

left is editing an owned item, right is editing a sidebar item

its a module doing this?

[molten solar]

AEs do not automatically inherit their parent's icon.

[vast bane]

right, my point is I wish dae fixed the core behavior

this is one of those cases where the dae feature of editing the owned item does the right thing

[violet meadow]

But it does, I thought 🤔

[vast bane]

not in my v9 build atleast

I should probably check with modules disabled to make sure, just incase tim actually reads our 300 messages while he was idle lol

[violet meadow]

Wait you create the item in the actor and give it an AE?

[vast bane]

if its on the actor, the item inherits the abilities icon, if its in the sidebar it does not

[molten solar]

shrug world script. Here you go.

Hooks.on("preCreateActiveEffect", (effect) => {
  const isItem = effect.parent instanceof Item;
  if (!iItem) return;
  effect.updateSource({ icon: effect.parent.img });
});

v10

[vast bane]

this might even just be a tiny typo in dae /shrug. Its just not handling the sidebar item the same way it does the owned item and compendium item

oh, thats probably dae right, I stupidly just did FTC with just midi on

[violet meadow]

Damn my house is a construction site right now and I cannot fire up foundry 😭
And rekt my cloud instance too 😁

[vast bane]

yeah with just midi/dae and its dependencies, an item in the sidebar, when you add an active effect, it defaults to the default icon, if you have that on an npc/pc it defaults to the abilities icon

I can see how some don't want the abilities icon as the end choice, but for productivity purposes, inheriting it can make life easier on most and nobody wants the blank aura icon by default anyway.

[scarlet gale]

Is there an easy toggle to stop a workflow from testing flanking? I tried setting workflow.attackAdvAttribution['ADV:flanking'] = false; in midi-qol.preAttackRoll.

[coarse mesa]

As you say it could just be an oversight

[vast bane]

yeah thats what I'm thinkin

and thats considering the fact that we're all always chastising people not to edit owned items in dae lol

its actually alot safer now to edit them, most of the snafu's are gone from it now

[violet meadow]

Isn't the Attribution only to make it so that there is some info in the chatMessage about what gives what?

[scarlet gale]

Is that what that means?

[violet meadow]

I think so

[vast bane]

fwiw that is exactly what prints out in advantage reminder while flanking

well, probably a v10 difference there

[violet meadow]

Does the workflow have any other reference to flanking?

[scarlet gale]

I'll have to keep digging

ah

I'm dumb

workflow.flankingAdvantage

[violet meadow]

async checkFlankingAdvantage(): Promise<boolean> {
    if (!canvas) {
      console.warn("midi-qol | Check flanking advantage abandoned - no canvas defined")
      return false;
    }
    this.flankingAdvantage = false;
    if (this.item && !(["mwak", "msak", "mpak"].includes(this.item?.data.data.actionType))) return false;
    const token = MQfromUuid(this.tokenUuid ?? null)?.object;
    const target: Token = this.targets.values().next().value;

    const needsFlanking = await markFlanking(token, target,);
    if (needsFlanking)
      this.attackAdvAttribution[`ADV:flanking`] = true;;
    if (["advonly", "ceadv"].includes(checkRule("checkFlanking"))) this.flankingAdvantage = needsFlanking;
    return needsFlanking;
  }

Yep that is from the workflow.js

[scarlet gale]

While i'm on this

what happens when two hooks on the workflow both try to mess with advantage?

Is it just set in order of being processed?

[violet meadow]

Hmmm probably

[coarse mesa]

what’s mpak?

[vast bane]

maybe a system compatibility thing

[molten solar]

melee panic attack

[vast bane]

my server just dropped for its morning restart, I can't pump it into dae to check

[coarse mesa]

Flanking does cause that

[vast bane]

maybe its a compatibility thing with a module or system

[molten solar]

Ban flanking.

[violet meadow]

Probably from another system

[vast bane]

I know that someone was using SW 5e with midi last night in module troubleshooting

[violet meadow]

No advantage just a +2 to attack 😁

[vast bane]

that is actually stronger than just normal advantage flanking really

that lets a barbarian with reckless attack hit even more easily

[violet meadow]

Adv is +5 for them creators so ...

[coarse mesa]

Moto is saying you can stack advantage with +2

[vast bane]

right, but you can't get super advantage, but if you make flanking give a bonus, suddenly it stacks with advantage

[molten solar]

At that point, just remove the concept of AC.

All your tokens are in a conga line and no one can miss.

[violet meadow]

Midi can ban conga line

[vast bane]

@molten solar I mean, once you are in the second half of T2 in dnd5e, and you aren't a stingy DM who refuses to hand out +1 weapons and spell mod items....AC is already a joke lol

[molten solar]

What levels are 'T2' again

[vast bane]

PB 4 and up, so level 9+

[scarlet gale]

Quick fix to conga line is to give enemies lighting bolt more often.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[violet meadow]

Play 3.5. +30 to attack is ez pz

[vast bane]

I honestly wish for a table that says yes to facing

[molten solar]

Screw boring +1 magic items. Make fun stuff with babonus

[vast bane]

And a table that embraces MMM fully would be a fun game

[vast bane]

v9 bab when?

[molten solar]

Never. ❤️

[vast bane]

I'd use it in a heartbeat lol

[coarse mesa]

Bring on Zhell’s Babonus Bazaar (sample compendium)

[molten solar]

To do the same in v9, I would need to wrap every roll. It would be incompatible with... checks list
Ah. Everything.

[vast bane]

ooooh does bab have an export/import function??

[violet meadow]

Moto go v10 without a backup. I guarantee you will never look back

[molten solar]

behind a paywall.

[vast bane]

I already have a v10 built, its a freak show of broken links and broken midi workflow errors

[molten solar]

Yes, you can duplicate document data.

[violet meadow]

Workflow errors?

[vast bane]

cause active auras and midi srd item macros are in my world compendiums

[violet meadow]

Whoops

[molten solar]

Didnt you say you only used AA for the paladin aura?

[vast bane]

The spells are used by the players

think spirit guardians, darkness, evards black tentacles

those are all active auras

[coarse mesa]

Cloudkill, spike growth, sickening radiance

[molten solar]

Why? 🤔

No

nvm

not even gonna question it.

[vast bane]

its not just that though, theres a bunch of item macros using v9 stuff

like the really awesome Ice Knife that Freeze wrote, doesn't work in v10

[scarlet gale]

AA one of my last holdouts for v10 upgrading

BaB looks like a good replacement

BUT

[coarse mesa]

So when your warlock pushes someone into the area, they get automatically trashed

[vast bane]

I don't think bab can handle the non damage stuff though, like spirit guardians movement debuff, evards applying effects, darkness applying blinded

[scarlet gale]

There are are a few things it doesn't quite replace AA well enough with

[vast bane]

can it?

[molten solar]

Praytell. Does it appear that my low-automation module is not a total replacement for a high-automation active effect radius creation tool? /s

[vast bane]

Also the sleet storm effecting conc is pretty frikkin dope niche automation lol

thats a midi thing though

but plays off active auras

[molten solar]

Ooh fun. I have a function built into CN for that. Neat.

Didn't even realise it did that.

[vast bane]

I got a player who used it against me in a recent bbeg fight so I got it thrown at me, burned into my memory

sleetstormd then magic missiled him the next turn

[coarse mesa]

Core gave us AEs. They should let them be applied via proximity 🤷‍♂️ (I’ve put my 2c in on the v11 threads)

[molten solar]

and they will.

Eventually.

[vast bane]

Treebeard is a foundry dev

I imagine things ar emuch like a train though, gotta map things out and work towards them over time

much better than roll20's method of throwing things out on a friday night and seeing what sticks

[molten solar]

What ever do you mean, Moto Moto. Do you have any horror stories about that? vanishes

[vast bane]

I just played in a roll20 session last night actually, my players run stuff on sundays and sometimes I join them to play in them. They just added invisible walls!

[molten solar]

https://tenor.com/view/steve-carell-wow-yay-omg-really-gif-15731645

[vast bane]

I had to login to place their images cause they all have free accounts lol, then they moved them to their maps from there

[molten solar]

Next you'll tell me they have doors! 😮 🤯

[vast bane]

hmm, I dunno if they added the door button like foundry, but that reminds me of our session zero in foundry. My players were absolutely bonkers crazy about the door button

Also, fyi, you can make windows be doors in foundry, though they look like doors so its weird, maybe add that to the v11 roadmap

a window icon for invisible wall doors

[vast sierra]

better perfect advanced doors coming soon ™️ (module) /s

[scarlet gale]

Roll20 still sometimes haunts me. One of the map packs I use for the city my players are in was converted from roll20 walls.

Every wall is like this.

[molten solar]

Not the worst I've seen

[vast bane]

I think I've abandoned UVTT/DD2vtt files. They are so inefficient in walling

I had a map with 700 walls, I deleted and redid them, 158.

[molten solar]

I was reminded of this
<#macro-polo message>

[vast bane]

Yeah Macro polo saved me from a headache with the imported file that used doors as windows in dungeondraft and the house had a bajillion windows.

[molten solar]

Still my absolute favorite examples of bad walls and bad imports.

[vast bane]

yeah you had me open the doors and it fixed all the windows cause you filtered by shut doors

[kind cape]

Designer Doors + Font Awesome window icon works pretty well FYI

[violet meadow]

I just realised what you mean.
I almost never do that. I always go through the DAE button (old habits :P...) and it works fine, no matter where you have the item 🤷

[vast bane]

its when you add the effect the standard way, not using dae's access button yeah

I only use the dae button at the top when I'm looking at a locked compendium items effect

Yep, in v9 if you use dae's button instead, it behaves the way dae intends it to and uses the items icon for the ae, its only when you click the add button in the items effect tab while in a compendium or in a sidebar that the icon defaults back to core behavior

[violet meadow]

Well standard way maybe nowadays. Back in the day you couldn't use that 😄

[gilded yacht]

And the DAE button is really useful to see which effects might be changing a given actor value, when you disable summary.

[vast bane]

Oh I don't see that, is that a v10 thing?

[violet meadow]

nope

Up top left, Effect Summary

Click on that

I think 99% of users have never clicked that 😄

[violet meadow]

Mine

yours

[vast bane]

oh oh oh, its item sidebar stuff again

the item on the character shows it, the item in the sidebar doesn't

[violet meadow]

I think it needs to actually trigger an actor change to show, but 🤷

So in the sidebar it probably wouldn't

[vast bane]

interesting to know though

[violet meadow]

I just realised that I am v9-less for the time being so cannot be thorough, but will see 😄

Hmm wait is this supposed to work like that? ```js
"key": "macro.itemMacro",
"mode": 0,
"value": "@spellLevel @attributes.spelldc postsave",
"priority": 20

What is `postsave`?

Wait no2 😅
Is that v10?!

[violet meadow]

@ripe relic can you export your MidiQOL settings and DM them to me?

[vast bane]

I think its just the lack of full settings in the target

have you tried properly setting up the target/range stuff?

should be 1 | blank | Creature in the row above range.

[ripe relic]

Just tried no difference

[vast bane]

is the actor linked?

[violet meadow]

@ripe relic go to your MidiQOL settings. Workflow Settings, Rules tab and check the Optional Game Rules.

@gilded yacht in v10 the new options menus are nice, but in this case there seems to be an issue.
The Check weapon Range has been moved out to Mechanics tab, but for that to actually work needs the Optional Game Rules checked in the Rules tab (where it was before) ^^

[ripe relic]

@violet meadow THANKS! fixed 🙂

[violet meadow]

It is a bug still or better unintended I imagine 😄

[ripe relic]

Just call it a feature 😄

[edgy pagoda]

How I can disable it? How to make automatic rolls?

[violet meadow]

Go to midi settings and deactivate late targeting

[edgy pagoda]

I chose "Always disable late targeting" but the window still appears

[formal kindle]

Hi!
When In turn reactions on, the saving throws button stop to show on the chat log, someone know how can I fix it?

Turn off vs Turn on

[vast bane]

can you show us what you mean?

[formal kindle]

just upload the pics

[vast bane]

Did you make the save already then it poofed?

there is a setting in the players and Gm tab to remove buttons after use

[formal kindle]

but i didnt use

[formal kindle]

It rolling auto the save for the player but its taking a while for it to roll (like 40 seconds) and they prefer to roll manually

[vast bane]

version of foundry, dnd5e, midi, and are you also using ready set roll, roll groups, quick rolls by default, better rolls for 5e, or minimal roll enhancements?

the player has a reaction prompted to them probably

do they have shield and are a wizard?

[formal kindle]

yes

[vast bane]

OR you have setup LMRTFY or MTB to roll saves, and you do not have the module installed

[formal kindle]

I have LMRTFY

[vast bane]

what are saves setup to roll with

[formal kindle]

and its working with monk's setting

so when I choose a player and click on the saving throw

a message of LMRTFY jumps

[vast bane]

Not really following here, is the effect saved on hit?

if its automated and they are getting prompted, then the save poofs because thats just how midi works

[formal kindle]

yes it automated

[vast bane]

if you want the button to not go away for some reason, then I'm thinking no auto dlete of buttons?

It sounds like you just don't like the settings you have in midi, so change them. If you want the buttons to stay, don't remove them, if the save button removes because of LMRTFY or MTB, don't use that. But the setting should be set to LMRTFY if you have that, not MTB, that could also be a cause of any weirdness, but everything you've said just sounds like normal midi behavior.

[formal kindle]

sorry if I didn't explained myself correctly.

I just want that the reactions will prompt as a chat when they'll get hit, in addition, I want the button of the saving throw like in the pic, will show

[formal kindle]

yea I want the button to stay

[vast bane]

don't auto attack

is void infused pseudopod the reaction or an attack triggering your reaction?

[formal kindle]

nothing turn on except Concertation and Reactions

[formal kindle]

attack that triggering

[vast bane]

when the save shows up, its cause you are not really using it right, you have no target, so the buttons are there for you to then set a target, and click the button.

It sounds like you might be trying to use midi in a very limited way, are you also using another roller and that is why?

When you are missing the save button, its trying to make the attack normally in midi, you have a target selected and either exed out of the attack popout or it fired and you missed

[formal kindle]

I don't have any roller mod, I'm using midi for the the attack and damage merging on the message tab and for the reaction and concertation pop up

[vast bane]

Ok, then you don't need that save button, it should auto prompt on hits

it shows in chat, when you mistakenly have no target and auto attack fails

If you do not want the automation, I believe what you want to do is turn off auto roll attack and disable any target requiring.

[formal kindle]

I turned off every automation, and turned on only reaction and concertation but its still doing that, I dont wanna be a headache if it a bother so neverminded that, I will try to get used to it

[vast bane]

I stil ldon't really get what you want, but if I'm guessing right, you want target required off completely, and you want auto roll attack off for players and probably the DM

Lil weird to want midi just for a change in appearance of the attack card

the merge setting in v9 does not require removal of buttons, cause I don't use that removal setting and I still see the merged card showing the buttons. But the saving throw thing is an efect transferral setting, like I don't think thats toggleable, or if it is, its probably in the specials section and its just so automatic to me I forgot the setting existed

are you using the module effect transferral by chance? cause that button could also be the core roller right before midi throws it out

nope, disregard, the effect transferral button will say "Apply active effect" not the saving throw

[vast bane]

Set saves to OFF and you will retain the save button

[formal kindle]

YES!!

thats what I needed

[formal kindle]

Yea actually I loved MIDI qol but my players dont (they want to roll things themselves)

[spice kraken]

I auto roll everything as GM but only auto roll attack for players. Everything is FF and use LMRTFY for prompts

[covert mason]

How would I automate the Precision Attack maneuver? I know there are ways to prompt a dialogue box up upon a miss, which shows the attack rolled, and you can do something to grant a bonus to that roll. Are there any examples of that sort of macro?

[vast bane]

More automated spells, items, and features module for v9 has the entire battlemaster suite of effects automated

v9 only sadly

[narrow saddle]

I’ve got that macro. It even reduces the superiority dice and stops promoting when there are no superiority dice left.

[covert mason]

Oooh! Would you mind sharing it?

[vast bane]

Are you on v10 or something? The v9 suite of abilities by that other module is fully setup, its like the guy was playing a battlemaster its pretty sweet, everything for a battlemaster is fully automated.

[covert mason]

Oh, yes. I'm just checking out that module now.

[narrow saddle]

Sure but I’ll send it direct as this is midi qol and we’ll get told off. 😂

[vast bane]

If I recall, the setup is really weird to get it working but once you got his settings right it fully automates

I don't think midi qol cares about whether you share a macro for midi qol or not, we sat for hours this morning talking about totally unrelated stuff

if anything the community loves it when folks share a macro for an ability and labels it as such, cause then its searchable and saves #macro-polo the trouble of getting asked to make it

[narrow saddle]

Ah ok, so used to getting the channel wrong and being told to move on. 😂

[vast bane]

if you do wind up using his setup, I believe the tricks were that you need to make sure the resource pool is setup right and you need to make sure you use his naming scheme for the subclass, and if you aren't really a battlemaster but have the fighting style/feat instead, I think you need to somehow force the subclass flag on yourself somehow to pull it off.

[stoic seal]

remind me again but is there a way for an attack to bypass resistance or immunity with midiqol?

[vast bane]

the drop down on the damage card should be able to handle a unique situation

[short aurora]

What's your situation? Elemental Adept?

[vast bane]

Also if you are not merging cards, you can use core behavior to apply damage, OR if you are using merge cards, turning on damage buttons in the main settings for midi can work on merged cards the same way

[stoic seal]

yep

I lean towards automation

[short aurora]

#dnd5e message thatlonelybugbear made one for Cold, import it and have a looksie to see if you can amend it to yours

[violet meadow]

v9 or v10 Foundry?

[edgy pagoda]

v10

[violet meadow]

Also the options (in v10 at least that I can now check) say Always DISPLAY late targeting not disable late targeting.

So you are looking for No Late Targeting

[edgy pagoda]

I selected No Late Targeting but nothing changed

[vast bane]

did you hit save below

oh does v10 have the weirdness that is two settings for late targeting?

[violet meadow]

Go into MidiQOL settings => Workflow settings =>GM and disable from there too

[vast bane]

there is a general setting and then another inside for GM and Player

[edgy pagoda]

Of course

[vast bane]

make sure both spots are set to no late targeting

in v9 its outside the workflow button and then inside workflow button theres a setting in GM and Player tabs too

I think the outside setting is for client side choice

[edgy pagoda]

Yes! That helped! Thanks!

[coarse mesa]

@vast bane I was just rummaging in Github and saw Kaelad has PRs for both AA and ATL v10 compat. Does anyone know if it's possible to install those versions manually? I'm not that familiar with how Github works

[vast bane]

afaik the v10 PR for AA was able to run but has many bugs still

I give v10 4 hours of my time, and thats not till friday.

[violet meadow]

Go here: https://github.com/kaelad02/Active-Token-Lighting/tree/v10-compat
Click on Code and Download ZIP.
Create a folder ATL in your modules and unzip the inner zipped folder there.
Restart Foundry

The Active Auras one was a bit less straightforward as it had another prereq update iirc.

[covert mason]

I'm trying to alter this Ice Knife code to only work on a natural 20, as per the Wakened Dragon's Wrath Longbow description
Whenever you roll a 20 on your attack roll with this weapon, each creature of your choice within 5 feet of the target takes 5 damage of the type dealt by the dragon's breath weapon.

How might I be able to do that?

// Midi-qol "on use"
// This spell flips between a single target and multi hit targets, then back to single target.
async function wait(ms) { return new Promise(resolve => { setTimeout(resolve, ms); }); }

    let dc = actorD.getRollData().attributes.spelldc;

    let aoeDamage = Number(args[0].spellLevel) + 1;

[violet meadow]

I think```js
if (args[0].d20AttackRoll === "20") {
//do stuff
}

[kind cape]

Pretty sure the workflow has .isCritical, if you want to account for stuff modifying crit ranges

[violet meadow]

Indeed but asked about a NAT 20 so 🤷

[kind cape]

Fair point

[violet meadow]

Could also be args[0].diceRoll

I can see them both available

[kind cape]

Also just realized that the macro seems slightly overkill, but am not at PC right now so reworking it is too much work 😅

[violet meadow]

Seems a bit old. You will need to await the new Roll too!

[covert mason]

Bah, maybe the Ice Knife was a bad choice to cannibalize.

'Cause the bow doesn't require a saving throw on a natural 20.

[scarlet gale]

This is what I'm currently using for my player with a Dragon's Wrath weapon. I made this before realizing midi-qol has it's own utility function that can replace the sorting part.

It works at least.

[covert mason]

Sweet!

[scarlet gale]

You'll want to swap out the damage type on line 30 with whatever they have theirs set to

[molten solar]

That line-1 destructuring assignment 🤌

[scarlet gale]

As well as setup the item to have it's "Extra Critical Hit Damage" on the details set.

Line 33 and 34 can be removed if you don't have JB2A Patreon

Just noticed line 26 can be totally deleted lol

[covert mason]

I seem to be getting this error.

[covert mason]

Oops

[violet meadow]

As you are already using MidiQOL, take a look at MidiQOL.findNearby()
function findNearby(disposition, token /*Token | undefined */, distance, maxSize = undefined)
Really helpful 😉

[scarlet gale]

Yep

This is a way older macro I had kicking around

[gilded yacht]

Oops - I thought I'd disabled that check - doh. Thanks for the heads up

[hidden swift]

Yeah, I'm using V10

[short aurora]

Is it possible to have Midi QoL let certain players have concentration on two features, with all the attached workflow behind that?

Likewise, can I prevent someone from casting a concentration spell with Midi QoL if they are affected by a certain status effect? This one I think I can worldscript myself around midi qol if need be, just curious if it's possible

[violet meadow]

For the first there is an issue in MidiQol git about doing that or how to https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/issues/985
Edit: I was misremembering the above issue and probably mixed that one with another that was asking for concentration on more than 1 items

The second yes with a Actor onUse macro that is executed preItemRoll checks for item roll being a spell, the effect being present on the actor and aborts the workflow if these 2 are true

[violet meadow]

And so you have the Active auras fork installed for v10?
I have not used that so I am not sure if there is an issue with the module or not.
I might try later today

[hidden swift]

Yeah, I have AA installed. Tried a wide range of different configurations shown in the screenshots I took, but could never land something that works consistently in the right way

Probably doesn't help that I'm effectively groping about half blind with the coding side of things hehe

[celest bluff]

Features themselves don't offer concentration, you would have to create the active effect for concentration from scratch. You would need to update the target pool or during it's creation add in the target data. Then you'll need to connect up uuids to match. also using flags.dae.deleteUuid is another way to remove it when concentration or the effect ends on the target.

[short aurora]

I swear tposney added concentration as a tag for features already

[violet meadow]

Concentration or something like that in activation condition

• Added concentration property for any weapon/feature/spell (allows you to specify that concentration should be set when rolling the item via a check box) This is in addition to the now deprecated activation condition === Concentration.

Yep in the MidiQOL Item Properties in the bottom!

[violet meadow]

OK so I took a look and there are a few issues.
Can you post a description of the Item to check what needs to be done?

[unreal vector]

Does anyone know how to add life steal to a weapon? Like the actor regains hit points equal to 1/2 or all the damage it dealt?

[short aurora]

Have a look at the sample item Longsword of Life Stealing

[edgy pagoda]

Can I integrate a hit/miss card into an attack card?
Now I have a hit/miss card first, and then an attack card.

[spice kraken]

Maybe with the condensed card? idr

[violet meadow]

Merged cards

[edgy pagoda]

Already set the option to condensed the card

[spice kraken]

Is this what you want?

[edgy pagoda]

Yes

[spice kraken]

Mine is the same as bugbear bar this

[violet meadow]

Yeah I over extended the screenshot. Not a factor in these cards' appearance

[spice kraken]

Do you know what that dropdown does? I swapped to your option and with an attack under both I didn't even see a difference

[long fiber]

V9, Dnd5e: (This one may be a hard one)

I am doing a homebrew "Resilience" system based on a creatures Constitution Modifier. Resilience Points represent their ability to take significant blows (ie. being hit with a critical or critically failing a saving throw)

This is what I want to happen:
-If a creature is hit with a critical or critically fail a saving throw, they lose a Resilience Point.
-If their Resilience Points drop to 0, they gain a condition.

I am using MidiQol and Convenient Effects.

How do I set this up?

[short aurora]

How much automation do you do with midi? Pretty sure this will require a worldscript but the complexity of this depends on your answer

[long fiber]

Quite a bit and that's why I would like it also automated.

[short aurora]

No, but I mean, do you do automatic hit registration and failed saving throws etc.?

[long fiber]

On the DM's side it fully automates. It prompts them to roll on the PC side.

[short aurora]

Have you done worldscripts before?

[long fiber]

I tried-ish. The World Scripter module conflicts with something and creates a bunch of issues on start-up.

[vast bane]

that means you have bad scripts in it, the module itself doesn't do anything if its empty

[short aurora]

Okay, I believe the process slightly changed with setting up worldscripts (without a module) in v10 but if you search #macro-polo for worldscript, I am sure one of the gurus have answered how to set them up. If you still v9, I used this https://foundryvtt.wiki/en/basics/world-scripts article.

Essentially, you want to have a look at midi's hooks https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol#midi-qol-called-hooks (or go into the game and write CONFIG.debug.hooks = true, roll a midi feature and start reading) and hook into one where the workflow is populated with what you want.

Where do you have the resilience points saved, if anywhere?

[vast bane]

also not all hooks can work with world scripter module

[molten solar]

Nothing changed about world scripts in v10.

[short aurora]

Ezpz then, follow the article

[long fiber]

I was looking at creating a resource for them on the sheet but that only works for the PCs. Suggestions?

[molten solar]

And the World Scripter module has 0 incompatibilities. It just executes macros that are stored in a compendium.

Any errors will be due to the macros themselves.

[short aurora]

Eeh if it needs to be universal, I'd do a flag on the actors (npc or otherwise) and throw another hook in to update the player character's sheets if they need to be able to review it :p but might be overengineering it

[long fiber]

It just auto runs a mass number of Macros on start-up. I just assumed it was a compatibility issue.

[molten solar]

However, it executes macros after the ready hook, I believe. So it cannot execute setup, init, or canvasReady.

[long fiber]

This is all fantastic info, I would just like to know what it means. LOL

Specifically "Hooks" and how they work.

[molten solar]

All the setup of the game happens, and then the module executes the macros.
Thus, hooks that are meant to run before the module runs cannot apply.

[short aurora]

So those are different hooks, think of them for places to "hang" your scripts/macros on and start executing, once whatever the hook is affiliated with starts running.

[long fiber]

How do I use them and edit them? (I try to find videos on this stuff, but it's so spread out and Foundry changes more often than where I started Roll20)

[molten solar]

Top pin in #macro-polo by me.

[long fiber]

Thank you

[celest bluff]

World script can handle all of this, it'll take a few hooks to monitor. Youll want to build each part as it's own function. I've already built something like this system with darker dungeons stress system using midi hooks

Crit success reduces stress and Crit failures increase stress, along with degrees +10 - 10

[violet meadow]

If you click on the roll it should show more info. I’ll get a screenshot later

[west oyster]

hey, after the latest update my spells and features dont have a description anymore. Anyone knows what to do?

[naive zenith]

It's this setting in midi that you need to look to, the Show Item Details drop down.

[west oyster]

you are a hero.

[calm nebula]

My automatic attack rolls are not autorolling. What am I doing wrong? Please and thank you.

[spice kraken]

What are your Workflow Settings in the GM and Player subtabs?
Also do you have any other roller modules?

And are all these modules (midi + dependencies) up to date

[molten solar]

I spy Active Auras, is that updated yet?

[spice kraken]

Nope

[calm nebula]

I use Forge, and it says all my modules are up to date. Do I have to get something else? Which one was that?

[spice kraken]

Disable AA and see if that fixes it

But do you have other roller modules?

[calm nebula]

Ok, doing that. I have dice installed

[spice kraken]

Dice so Nice?

[calm nebula]

Yes and a few others that work off Dice so Nice

[spice kraken]

DSN isn't a roller module

Let me get my pic

[calm nebula]

I don't understand the abbreviations

[spice kraken]

Better Rolls
Minimal Roll Enhancements
Roll Groups
Ready Set Roll

[calm nebula]

I don't have any of the others, except Better Rolls and that is disabled now

[spice kraken]

Yeah, BR is long since dead

Basically if you have one of those modules, you shouldn't have the others

[calm nebula]

So I'm still getting the boxes to roll attack

[spice kraken]

^

[calm nebula]

Should I disable all my other modules and start that way?

[spice kraken]

Also to be safe, show foundry version, dnd version, midi and dependencies versions

[calm nebula]

I don''t know where to find version for Midi

[spice kraken]

Manage Modules

[spice kraken]

libwrapper and socketlib?

[calm nebula]

Let me get those

[spice kraken]

I would also test by disabling everything but those 3, and use an SRD item to attack and test

Not one you made or imported from anywhere

[spice kraken]

Midi and dependencies are up to date

[calm nebula]

I'm currently using a mace from the SRD compendium

I'll disable everything else and start with those 3

I have libwrapper, socketlib, DAE and midi installed and still no auto attack

It said I needed DAE for Midi, so I put it back on

[cerulean ocean]

Does anyone know how to rewrite the base formula in Midi QOL - Challenge Mode Armor Display.

I want to change how AC, EC and AR are calculated. I want the below.

EC = 6 + prof mod (if unarmored defense proficient) + max dex allowed from Armor + shield bonus.

AC = 8 + Prof mod (if proficient) + AC bonus (= armors base AC - 10) + Shield bonus.

AR = max(0, AC - 10)
So no lower than 0

Pretty please need help. Been trying to fix this for days. I run a game later today but I still cant get this to work.

[calm nebula]

where is that one? I dont see it

DUH

[spice kraken]

here

[calm nebula]

STUPID

[spice kraken]

Nah you're learning

[calm nebula]

I didnt even see that box above the other ones... 😗

Its working now. That's probably all it was

@spice kraken thank you! You're the best

I found some other cool stuff that looks fun in here while searching around. Haha. I guess i can do more stuff

Should I remve Better Rolls for 5e entirely?

[spice kraken]

Yes

[calm nebula]

Cool I have so many, one less is great! Thanks again. You need a raise

[modern badger]

Is there an eta for .15? o3o

[violet meadow]

First one the option I had selected, second one the default tooltip

The 1d20 + 2 + 5 + 4 in the first roll is hidden and only the 21 is shown by default. If you click on the 21 it expands to show all the details + adv attribution if that is the case

[spice kraken]

Am I doing something wrong?

Or do you still need to click the roll on all options to see the formulas and all

[long fiber]

V9: How do I use the "Activation Condition" of a Passive Feature to trigger when the actor who has the feature is:
A. Hit with a critical hit,
B. They critically fail a saving throw,
C. They meet a certain HP Threshold

Note these are 3 separate conditional factors. I don't need all 3 to be true.

[violet meadow]

Click on the 13

[spice kraken]

Ahh, I think I prefer default, but thanks!

[violet meadow]

A. workflow.isCritical
B. Array.from(workflow.fumbleSaves).length>0
C. "@actor.attributes.hp.value">55

[long fiber]

Where do I input these?

[violet meadow]

About B. The target?

[long fiber]

It's a passive feature on the target when they crit fail.

[violet meadow]

Give an Activation Cost of something, at least Special so the Activation Condition field is shown in the character sheet.

Do you want all the activation conditions on the same Item (feature)?

You will need to "enable" Activation Conditions in the MidiQOL settings too

[long fiber]

This would be preferable than making separate Features.

[violet meadow]

Use workflow.isCritical || Array.from(workflow.fumbleSaves).length>0 || "@actor.attributes.hp.value">55

That if its a crit hit OR the target fumbled its save OR the attacker has the specific hp threshold

If you want the target in the last one replace actor with target

Let me know if that works 😄

Small edit

[long fiber]

Do you know where this setting is? I am struggling to find it.

[violet meadow]

MidiQOL settings => Workflow Settings => Workflow tab, mid to bottom, Roll Other Formula rwak/mwak (and spells if needed)

Dropdown menu, choose Activation condition

[long fiber]

No wonder I couldn't find it. TY

[long fiber]

Is there a way to have the HP threshold be a percentage of Max HP?

[violet meadow]

Let's try some math 😄
"@actor.attributes.hp.value">floor("@actor.attributes.hp.max"*0.5)

[long fiber]

I have one more conditional factor: if the damage from a single attack is greater than or equal to half of max HP.

[violet meadow]

This one?
"@workflow.damageList[0].appliedDamage">=floor("@target.attributes.hp.max"*0.5)

[long fiber]

I will give it a go. Thank you!

[feral kestrel]

Hey All, does anyknow know why Kuffeh's macro doesnt work for me?

// Card settings - Target & range: Self
// DAE settings - [1] flags.dnd5e.DamageBonusMacro / Custom / ItemMacro.Searing Smite [2] flags.midi-qol.brandingSmite.level / Override / @item.level

[hidden swift]

Not 100% sure what you're after when you ask for the 'Item' description, so I'll just post what I'm trying to accomplish.
The passive aura and effects are assigned to a custom feature with an ItemMacro set up.
The feature is applied to one character (the 'caster', who is rendered immune to the effect by the macro).
The aura increases a custom ability score (cua_0) by 1 for any creature who fails a will saving throw (with a DC based on caster level).

[short aurora]

Sanity checking, did you do those three pre-macro setup steps Kuffeh commented? Set this macro into an Item Macro on an item, where the item card's details has target and range set to Self, and where it has the two active effects described?

... why does it try to delete concentration o.0

[violet meadow]

When the aura is first applied to the caster, should it immediately affect others in the radius or only once during their turn?

[violet meadow]

Cause it puts an effect on the caster (it is a concentration spell) and when you next attack the spell ends

[hidden swift]

Well, ideally I would want it to work to some extent out-of-combat, so yeah, likely applied on entry into the aura.
In-combat however, once during a creature's turn.

[violet meadow]

So in combat only during the creature's turn. Alright. I will ping you after a couple of meetings I have 😁

[hidden swift]

Awesome, thanks!

[sullen osprey]

I’m not at my desk to check, but does anyone know if MIDI does anything automatically with Recharge abilities? Will it auto-roll a d6 at the start of each combat turn to see if the ability refreshes?

[violet meadow]

Nope.

[feral kestrel]

Thanks for responding.
Modules Required - Check
Card Settings - Check
DAE Settings - Im not sure if I have them right

[violet meadow]

Screenshots of DAE effect would be good

[feral kestrel]

Where are you suppose to import the Spells from?

[violet meadow]

Which Spells? In general? For the ones that are included in SRD, you can check the Spells (SRD) compendium in Foundry.

For others not available you will need to create them manually.

[feral kestrel]

Sorry I mean for Kuffeh's spells specifically

[violet meadow]

Hmm no idea which ones are those 🤷

[violet meadow]

Are you on v10?

What is not working? Any errors in console?

[feral kestrel]

No, v9. And there's no console errors.

[violet meadow]

Do you target self in the details page of the Searing Smite item?

Needs to be Self in the 3rd available box

[feral kestrel]

😦

[violet meadow]

Put in the On Use macro field in the screenshot ItemMacro case sensitive instead of Searing Smite

[feral kestrel]

okay that's applying the effect to the caster. But still no output

[violet meadow]

Make an attack with the effect active

[violet meadow]

Ah nope that is a different smite... not searing smite! Confused by the names...

You need to be in combat and change turns
