[vast bane]

yep thats what caused it, dumpstat int pally

he got stunned and then thankfully Halleth was with them and curb stomped it before the next turn

[coarse mesa]

Definitely, if you can make it feel like it's due to their bad choices and not forced

[molten solar]

Wondrous.

Gonna need to reskin them somehow to fit in a feywild-esque location tho

[vast bane]

They rolled sets of stats, and 3 of the 5 players picked the set with a 6, so theres 1 dumpstat int and 2 dumpstat cha's and they are fighting intellect devourers and maurazi or whatever, which drain charisma lol

[violet meadow]

Intellect Devourers are really high up in the list of potentially deadly foes, which do not make such a bad first impression 😄

[molten solar]

All my players dumped Wis. Maybe I'd do "Fey Wisdom Devourers" ✍️

[coarse mesa]

In DotMM they were a huge PITA until we were high enough to cast Greater Restoration... you end up with a coma'd character you'd need to haul back to Waterdeep to get fixed up

[vast bane]

instead of working on that smite to smite me bugbear, I'd love that workable skill challenge macro that applies AE's/status effects on success 8)?

[molten solar]

Requestor

[vast bane]

the next attack after the creature is stunned, they can jump into the body

and thats instant death

[coarse mesa]

Yeah it's nail biting stuff

[violet meadow]

monk's tokenbar?

[vast bane]

yeah

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

    silent:true, 
    fastForward:false,

    callback: async () => {
        const attackerTotal = results.getFlag("monks-tokenbar", `token${attacker.id}`).total;
        const targetTotal = results.getFlag("monks-tokenbar", `token${target.id}`).total;
        if (attackerTotal >= targetTotal) {
            if(!game.dfreds.effectInterface.hasEffectApplied(`${attacker.name}`, target.actor.uuid)) {

            }
        }
        else ui.notifications.info(`${target.name} resists the shove attempt from ${attacker.name}`)
    }
});

[coarse mesa]

Wisdom devouring actually seems fitting for the Feywild, imo

[vast bane]

it works if the DM fires it, fails if a player does for the effects

[molten solar]

The cleric will be fine but he'll get to see all his friends die. Win-win.

[coarse mesa]

If he has Greater Restoration he'll be MVP

[vast bane]

and I know it has the wrong emote at the end, but since it fails to fire, the emote doesn't matter 8)

[molten solar]

What's this? Oh no, the trees can cast counterspell.

[violet meadow]

Do you have advanced macros installed?

[vast bane]

I never leave home without it with midi srd installed

[violet meadow]

Try something quickly cause the fibre to my house was destroyed and my main server is off line...

Create a script macro to be run as GM. Throw the macro you attached as is in there.

Then on the Item, create another script ItemMacro (NOT run as GM) ```js
game.macros.getName("name of the other macro").execute(args[0]);

👆 this one will take the place of the Item onUse macro you had before on the item

Does it do it?

[vast bane]

(named TestTaunt

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

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

results = await game.MonksTokenBar.requestContestedRoll({

    }
});

missing a letter

[violet meadow]

lol ```js
game.macros.getName("name of the other macro").execute(args[0]);

I think you copy pasted ame.macros.getName("name of the other macro").execute(args[0]);

[vast bane]

yeah, also MTB is acting weird

and let me confirm the effect is setup right still

it said 2 insight rolls were rolled but the pally rolled with a +10 so....the UI is wrong but the rolls were right

[dry heron]

Hey, new here 👋
Trying the "Return a damage bonus" and passing back (With console log to confirm)
return [{ damageRoll: '1d6[fire]', flavor: "Bonus" }]

But it doesn't add the extra dmg?

[vast bane]

it also prompted the roll for the GM twice

and mtb didn't resolve till I expanded the rolls by clicking on them, no green checkmark till then

[violet meadow]

return { damageRoll: '1d6[fire]', flavor: "Bonus" }

[vast bane]

hol up, I dunno why, but it is working fully fine now once I got the effect setup again, as I had renamed it for the other way

yeah its totally working now

wait....GM has same target and selection as player... so that could be a false positive right?

[dry heron]

That gave me an error: Invalid or unexpected token

[violet meadow]

OK I will take a look at the player's side some time tomorrow, if my INET is up.

[violet meadow]

edited... it was an extra ` at the end

[dry heron]

Ah true, well no more error but also no additional dmg

[vast bane]

yeah it seems to work totally fine with what you had me setup

[violet meadow]

The first macro passed all the MidiQOL args[0] to the GM

[vast bane]

do players need to have access to the folder macro?

[violet meadow]

Nope

Hmm at least I don't think so 🤔

[dry heron]

Happy to hop into VC if you have a sec

[violet meadow]

its too late here 😄

If you got a complete macro I can take a look

[dry heron]

Babies first Hunters mark (just got Foundry yesterday 😅 )

I have more worked out, checking if the token has hunters mark applied etc, but stripped it all out just trying to get the bonus dmg at all working

The SAMTEST Log procs in console before the midi-qol | DmageRollComplete elapsed 14ms

[violet meadow]

OK so if you open console, it probably will have an error of unresolved string when you use that. Change the damage formula on the item to ```js
1d8 + @mod + 2

[dry heron]

The dmg formula atm is: 1d8[piercing] + @mod + 2

I added bonus to see if it would do anything, but it just takes the Attack roll bonus stat (no errors)

[vast bane]

@violet meadow thank you for making that skill challenge work, gonna open up so many neat tricks. Taunt, shield bash, shove

[violet meadow]

Can you try something? Change the item's details Target to Self in the 3rd available box

Then create a DAE flags.dnd5e.DamageBonusMacro | Custom | Hunters Mark

Delete the onUse macro you have there

[dry heron]

?

Than roll dmg?

[violet meadow]

Ohhhhh lol. I thought you were creating a feature or spell named Hunters Mark

And I was suggesting to put that DAE on the Hunters Mark Item

[dry heron]

Nope, I set up that to apply an active effect already, I have
`game.user.targets.forEach(i => {
let name = i.name;

console.log(i.actor.effects)

i.actor.effects.forEach(j => {
    console.log(j)

    if (j.label == "Hunter's Mark") {
        GenerateRoll(i);
    }

})

})
`

So this is just for the On hit of the Rapier to check if it should ALSO do extra dmg on a target that has hunters mark on it

And all the above works, except the basic grab extra dmg

Which i can't get to work without any thing else lol

[violet meadow]

OK so as a sidenote, seeing you are already using MidiQOL to a certain extent 😛

Go to MidiQOL sample Items compendium and take a look at the already created Hunter's Mark item

[coarse mesa]

I should really make a shove button for my group... they avoid using shove now because of faff

[dry heron]

I started a coupole hours ago when I went mad with modules lol
I've got some scripting background in JS so was pretty easy getting started, but this stumped me

[violet meadow]

MidiQOL and DAE readme plus the sample items compendium will give you some good ideas then

[molten solar]

could use babonus. 😎

[dry heron]

I've been giving them a read, but just getting the basic "Add an extra dice of dmg" via the "Return a damage bonus" macro field not working is just odd

[violet meadow]

To make what you are doing work though, I think you can do it as follows.

The Hunters Mark DAE on the Rapier, go to the Details of it and make it Transfer to actor when item is equipped

Then change the Rapier back to targeting enemies 😛

Lastly do a check on the Hunter's Mark macro for the effect being present on the target

[vast bane]

Nice

[dry heron]

I've got it atm where a player can cast hunters mark, it applies a DAE to an enemy giving them the hunters mark status effect, than on dmg I have it read if the target has that effect, if so roll extra dmg

But the roll extra dmg part never get's added (Without any checks, just the raw return 1d6 more dmg lol)
Reading some extra docs atm

[vast bane]

I'm a lil confused though, isn't hunter's mark already made?

[dry heron]

It is, but I figured it was a good way to learn 😅

[violet meadow]

if (!args[0].hitTargets[0].actor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label === "name of the hunters mark condition you put on the enemy")) return;
return { damageRoll: '1d6[fire]', flavor: "Bonus" }

[vast bane]

Well look at tim's version 8)

[molten solar]

you have 100% of the setup for babonus. 😦

[violet meadow]

yes but .. 😄

[vast bane]

Does it do doors though

[molten solar]

Sure.

Have the door spawn a template with a babonus

idfk 🙃

[violet meadow]

@dry heron the messages ended up a bit far apart. Does it make sense?

[dry heron]

So I just tried it with a DAE Temp effect that adds the Extra dmg, and that worked fine

So it seem just the Midi QOL Fields On use macro bonus dmg, while it runs it doesn't actually use the data

[violet meadow]

That is doable as well. You scan set it up with a myriad of ways tbh

[violet meadow]

I have never used that. v10 correct?

[dry heron]

Ye

[violet meadow]

In principle it should be the same as doing that with a DAE 🤔

[dry heron]

I don't want to use the DAE on the Rapier as than i get the Status DAE popup as an effect

Hence hoping I could do it via the Field bonus

The doc I ref'd was: https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol#onuse-macroper-item-and-damage-bonus-macro-actor-special-traits-fields

[violet meadow]

OK, so best solution, get the Hunter's mark item from the compendium which is the RAW version.

You cast the spell and then all attacks get the bonus added

[dry heron]

Does it care about which target your actually hitting?

[violet meadow]

Yes. When you cast the spell it passes a Hunter's Mark effect to the target. And then it adds the bonus damage only against that one

Hunter's Mark and Sneak Attack from the MidiQOL compendium are 2 good examples of what can be done

[dry heron]

Tried and worked, now to understand

[violet meadow]

(just go through. If you already have js background its gonna be a field day.

But make sure you install the ItemMacros module, cause the macros are "stored" on the items by utilizing that module (and to use it alongside MidiQOL, make sure that the Sheet Hooks in the ItemMacro settings are off)

[vast bane]

@violet meadow is quick roll to chat one of the modules you can't have with midi?

[violet meadow]

If there is an issue I would guess it is a good possible culprit.

I have no idea if or how that works though

[dry heron]

How can I see the properties of the ItemMacro?

[violet meadow]

If you activate the module, on the items title bar there is gonna be a tab

[dry heron]

Oh weird, I guess I don't have the Module installed, but its till worked

[violet meadow]

Get also Monaco module or Macro editor + Ace Library for some better macro editing tools

[violet meadow]

yeah it is NOT needed to work, but if you want to check the macros or make changes you will need it

[dry heron]

aha:

And gotcha, grabbing

[violet meadow]

give the Importer settings a good read because it is a common source of issues. It works, but you need to know what you're doing 😅

[dry heron]

So far so good with some tests, I ran through a tut as the first thing I did, one of the major sells to bring me from Roll20 😅 (Plus the campaign exporter)

[vast bane]

its great for like adventures and monsters, but the players sheets, make from scratch if you are automating

[dry heron]

Oh? my players stuff came in all good, what should I look out for?

[scarlet gale]

I always just import players with it first, then check feature that I've edit with the ignore feature from that module

[vast bane]

I mean we just had a dndbeyond importer problem being the culprit over in module troubleshooting

[violet meadow]

yeah, as I said, you kinda need to read the label with that one 😄

[vast bane]

reckless attack from dnd beyond imports too blank to fire dfreds CE right in midi

dnd5e's srd version works just fine

[dry heron]

Aha

[vast bane]

but your players sheets are the things you are gonna automate THE MOST so that stuff, get your hands dirty with and get right up in there on them

isn't there also a setting that constantly tries to update sheets from beyond? turn that stuff off

[scarlet gale]

Any time you edit a feature or spell, I'd recommend hitting the importer button on the top of the sheet and checking "Ignore this item when importing the character"

[scarlet gale]

That's not a default setting.

[vast bane]

the problem with reckless was that it had no targets setup

but the srd did or something, I dunno

[violet meadow]

I will take a look again at some point, cause it should have been working for players too as it was, or I thought it did at some stage

[gilded yacht]

The new dnd5e hooks are a good way to handle modifying rolls, and all the data that will get used are passed in. Unfortunately they are not awaited, so you need to do the prep in something that is awaited. Here's a version of the minion macro that seems to work (it's v10, if on v9 change .system to .data.data. One nice thing about the dnd5e hooks is that if the roll is a critical then the damage is modifi2ed accordingly.

if (game.minionHookId) Hooks.off("midi-qol.preDamageRoll", game.minionHookId);
game.minionHookId = Hooks.on("midi-qol.preDamageRoll", async (workflow) => {
    const isMinion = workflow.actor.items.some(i => i.name.toLowerCase() === "minion");
    const isGroupAttack = workflow.item.system.activation.condition.toLowerCase() === "group action";

    if(!isMinion || !isGroupAttack) return;

    const title = "Minion Attack"
    const options = {
        "inputs": [{
            label: `<p>How many of this minion attacked?</p>`,
            type: "number",
            options: 1
        }],
        "buttons": [{
            label: "Attack"
        }]
    }
    const result = await warpgate.menu(options, { title, options: { height: "100%" }});
    const numMinionsAttacked = Number(result.inputs[0]) || 1;
    const totalDamage = Number(workflow.item.system.damage.parts[0][0]) * numMinionsAttacked;
    const damageType = workflow.item.system.damage.parts[0][1];

    const damageHookId = Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollDamage", (rolledItem, rollConfig) => {
        if (rolledItem !== workflow.item) return;
        rollConfig.fastForward = true;
        rollConfig.parts = [`${totalDamage}[${damageType}]`];
        Hooks.off("dnd5e.preRollDamage", damageHookId);
    })
    return true;
});

[scarlet gale]

Looks like Foundry has the function I need:

quadraticIntersection(p0, p1, template.center, template.shape.radius, epsilon=0)

[scarlet gale]

Works pretty well

Diagonal movement needs to be looked at, I need to figure out a better way to handle it.

I'd also like to figure out how to make the damage cards less spammy. I'm applying the damage in increments to deal with concentration saves.

@molten solar quadraticIntersection could be used to tell if a token has passed through a circular template, it'll have 2 points if so. I assume there would be something similar for square templates if you would ever consider a trigger for tokens that move through a template but don't end in it.

Routinglib might also solve the movement calculations, since it would also take into account rough terrain.

[glass lynx]

If this solves all the stuff you need, nice. If you still find something lacking, feel free to look at the code of the Terrain Ruler module. It already contains code to check for intersection points between a line and all the template shapes (including cone, which was a major pain in the butt to implement).

https://github.com/manuelVo/foundryvtt-terrain-ruler/blob/develop/src/geometry.js

[scarlet gale]

Oh nice

Knew I should have looked at this at the start

[glass lynx]

You'll still have to piece them together, though, as that's only geometric primitives. A cone for example would be an Arc plus two lines. A rectangle four lines, etc.

[scarlet gale]

For the moment, I just need to figure out the distance a token traveled after entering a circle template

I have the start and end positions as well as the template data.

[glass lynx]

"easy". That's exactly what Terrain Ruler is doing in gridless mode if circular terrain is present. Just dig around in the code a little 🙂

That is, if you're working in girdless. On gridded, you probably want to just check for each square along the path "is this point in the circle?" and then count the step accordingly, since the exact intersection point has little meaning on a grid

[scarlet gale]

yea, that's where I was running into trouble, I couldn't figure out how to go about that

The way I have it gets me the exact range, but that doesn't help when I want to follow the diagonal rules from DnD

terrainRuler.measureDistances I think should be all I need

[glass lynx]

If you're fine with calling that function (it's of course not optimal, since all the terrain calculations may be unnecessary overhead), you can check the ray you passed into that function after the call. Terrain Ruler adds a field to it terrainRulerVisitedSquares that tells you exactly which squares are visited by the ray.

[molten solar]

if you can come up with something, I can take some minutes off to test it and see if I can add it to TM, but I don't have the time for jommetry 👍

[glass lynx]

There's also Foundry's Ruler._highlightMeasurementSegment, which code that takes a start and end point and highlights every square of the move. Since that code needs to figure out every square visited, you could adpat it to your purposes. (Beweare, it only works properly if start and end point are on the center of a grid cell. If they aren't it may skip squares here and there)

[scarlet gale]

Terrain calculations would actually come in handy here, since at the end of the day I need to actual cost of the movement to calculate damage dice for moving through the template.

Since it's 2d4 for every 5 feet moved

that normally turns into 4d4 cause it's rough terrain

[violet meadow]

Wait is this part of the spell? The rough terrain?

[molten solar]

oh look who's up early after less than 6 hours of sleep

[scarlet gale]

The area becomes difficult terrain for the duration. When a creature moves into or within the area, it takes 2d4 piercing damage for every 5 feet it travels.

[violet meadow]

Who needs sleep when there is coffee right?

[scarlet gale]

Effectively 4d4 unless you have the means to avoid difficult terrain

I have the template making itself difficult terrain with Enhanced Terrain Layer already.

[violet meadow]

I always rule against that. Tbh I never considered that 😁

[scarlet gale]

There are a few obscure class features and spells that get around difficult terrain.

[violet meadow]

Yeah but as you say the most common thing is for creatures to not have something like that, so I would expect some clarification in the spell description of that was the case. Oh well, still I would force it to do 2d4 for each square no matter what on my table

[scarlet gale]

You move at half speed in difficult terrain--moving 1 foot in difficult terrain costs 2 feet of speed.
2d4 for every 5 feet. It's pretty explicit.

[coarse mesa]

We’ve always ruled it that way. How far you travel, not how much movement you spend doing so (2d4 per square)

[scarlet gale]

I'm pretty sure the spell is worded the way it is to allow class features and other spells to help you avoid the difficult terrain part.

[coarse mesa]

2d4 per 5’ is still nothing to sneeze at, especially if it’s forced movement (eg repelling blast)

[scarlet gale]

yea

Place down spike growth and start thorn whipping people through it

[coarse mesa]

Spike Growth + Plant Growth is crazy… one halves your movement speed… the other makes you spend 4’ for every foot moved

[scarlet gale]

ouch

[coarse mesa]

Most creatures move one square per turn

[violet meadow]

I just reread the spell and it mentions per 5 feet it travels.
So I would rule that 2d4 per square, no matter what 🤷

But now morning coffee!

[scarlet gale]

yes, but it also says you're in difficult terrain

meaning 1 foot costs 2

[violet meadow]

Throw down a spike growth spell and get your warlock to send a couple of repelling blasts to the right target :chefkiss

[scarlet gale]

making 5 cost 10

Guess I should lookup a ruling for this

[violet meadow]

It costs you double but you still have traveled 5 ft in the end

[scarlet gale]

Guess that makes sense

2d4 it is

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[coarse mesa]

Dao genie warlocks get spike growth 😆

[scarlet gale]

I can't figure out what kind of data to be passing off to this function.

I may just call it a day and look at it another time.

Spike growth is SRD right?

Requires midi-qol and Zhell's template macros module.

Weird, the item macro is cleared out but it still shows it in the exported json

[violet meadow]

Its a beyond imported one I see.
There is a "way" to attach different itemMacros for both v9 and v10 at the same JSON.

The wonders of a missing data in the structure!

[scarlet gale]

Ah that explains it

Just as long as it doesn't actually run it won't matter.

[violet meadow]

Yeah I just saw that initially in some MidiQol sample items and I was like 🤔 but then 🧠

[scarlet gale]

At any rate, if anyone more familiar with the measuring features in Foundry is around, I'd love to see a better way to handle the distance calculation I'm doing.

[hot flower]

is there a flag in midi that prevents critital hits from critting? Like with adamantite armor?

This armor is reinforced with adamantine, one of the hardest substances in existence. While you're wearing it, any critical hit against you becomes a normal hit.

[scarlet gale]

Pretty sure it's flags.midi-qol.fail.critical.all

[hot flower]

that's it. found it, thank you.

i was missing it in the list of flags.

[scarlet gale]

Yea, I noticed that too

[glass lynx]

Btw Terrain caused by Measurement Templates is currently broken in ETL

[scarlet gale]

I noticed lol

[tepid remnant]

(v9) I have a tricky question. Is there a way to apply an aura effect (currently using Active Auras, midi, and dae to other similar things) to allied tokens within range but have it disable when the source actor moves and only when the source actor moves? If I use the "isMoved" special duration, it gets applied to the allies which is not what I want.

Use case is an ability that allows a frontline tank to dig in their heels and become a bulwark for their allies. Any ally within five feet gains a bonus to AC and dex saves (basically half cover). The effect should persist until frontline tank decides its time to move.

[scarlet gale]

special duration of moved to remove the effect

then have it as an aura

oh, wait

that applies to the allies that move too?

[celest bluff]

Make sure to check apply only once per turn

[violet meadow]

I think that you need to create 2 effects and some macro-ing
One will be with a isMoved special condition applied only to the sourceActor and which will in the off delete the aura.
The aura will be in a second effect taking care of the AC and dex

[coarse mesa]

Or set the aura to apply a CE that won’t expire when the affected tokens are moved? 🤔

[violet meadow]

Or Template macro on the spot 😄

[kind cape]

Yeah you can do this with two effects, first one is expired on move and applies the second effect, which is the aura

[violet meadow]

Yeah I was going the macro way but same principle 😄

[kind cape]

It's basically the same I did for my Twilight sanctuary, since that one applies a light to the caster only

[celest bluff]

if expire is isMoved shouldn't reapply it until the next combat round

[tepid remnant]

How do I get at other effects inside the Active Effect interface? I see you can do StatusEffect but that seems to only have the default stuff. StatusEffectLabel seems to just change the label of the effect whereas I was hoping it was going do some kind of look up.

[kind cape]

It only expires if the caster moves, not the targets, as I understand it

[violet meadow]

Do you use DFreds CE?

macro.CE can do it.

[kind cape]

macro.CE

[tepid remnant]

I do!

[kind cape]

Damn phone typing is slow 🙃

[tepid remnant]

This seemed to have the effect of shuffling the effect around to in range allies at the start of their turns

[celest bluff]

You aren't applying this to the primary DAE affect right?

You would create an additional affect inside with these settings

the aura applies an active effect on the target

the base effect runs on the caster

[tepid remnant]

Ah ok, yes that is what I'm working on now

I didn't know about nesting effects

[celest bluff]

can look in your compendium at Active Auras Auras to see examples

[tepid remnant]

Thank you all! I got it working now. I really really appreciate the help

[acoustic jasper]

Is it possible to check an Active Effect by name in "Activation Condition"? For example I want to give my Gnoll Bite some extra damage if the target is "Prone".

[violet meadow]

Array.from(workflow.hitTargets)[0].actor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label==='Prone')

[acoustic jasper]

great, thanks

[violet meadow]

Are you v9 or 10?

[acoustic jasper]

10

[late briar]

Build a bonus seems to be the ideal module for everything now? XD

[molten solar]

It can certainly do that entire 'activation condition'.

[late briar]

Can I make Divine Smite with BAB?

[molten solar]

Sure why not

[late briar]

Oh you're the author!

[violet meadow]

@acoustic jasper check the edited one.

I will test them later to make sure

[acoustic jasper]

it's working 😉 (the first one added extra damage every regardless of the condition)

[violet meadow]

Just note that it will misbehave if you have more than 1 target.

[acoustic jasper]

noted

[violet meadow]

Need to check the newest MidiQol whether it can deal with that. I know you can check @target but I think it points only to the actor or synthetic actor rollData.

[molten solar]

Getting roll data from game.user.targets.first().actor.getRollData() would be the synthetic actor

[violet meadow]

Yeah I meant that the effects are not present in the getRollData() normally, but I am not sure if tposney passes them along to facilitate this check, when using the @target within MidiQOL's activation conditions

[sudden crane]

‘@target refers to the target’s actor roll data: rollData.target = data.target.actor?.getRollData();

[violet meadow]

Makes sense 👍

[late fractal]

Hello again! I am on V10, using MidiQol and also Convenient Effects. I am trying to implement the attack "Claws" on a Ghoul, which has damage, a DC10 Con save, on fail a paralysis effect. I have managed to make a convenient effect called "Ghoul Claws" that will mimic paralysis and apply on hit, but I cant seem to figure out the DC10 Con save before applying the effect. Any hints on how to do a roll before applying an effect?

[violet meadow]

Edit the item and go to Details Tab.
Give it a saving throw in the relevant field.

@vast bane are you around?

[vast bane]

yar

[late fractal]

@violet meadow i have tried adding a save, but it saves for half damage not applying the effect

[vast bane]

poundin the walls of my cubicle atm but can remote to my server

[violet meadow]

Divine Smite in v9 sample items. Does it have an activation condition for undead?

[violet meadow]

Can you drag the item in the Items Directory on the sidebar, right click it and export data? Then attack that file in a DM and send me to take a quick look on how you've set it up. Easier than going through a bunch of back and forth questions and I can let you know after

[vast bane]

there are two of them, the automated item macro version does not prompt for damage popout and does not crit, the non macro version will do everything except crit the fiend/undead stuff

[late fractal]

Activation Condition: ["undead", "fiend"].includes(raceOrType)

[vast bane]

theres two smites in v9

[late fractal]

like this?

[violet meadow]

get the second one (no macro one), create an on use macro preDamageRoll ```js
//v10 only
const getMessage = game.messages.contents.filter(mes=>mes.content.includes("<div class="dnd5e chat-card item-card midi-qol-item-card"")).at(-1);
const item = await fromUuid(getMessage.flags['midi-qol'].itemUuid);
if (item.getRollData().item.actionType === "mwak" && getMessage.flags['midi-qol'].isCritical) {
setProperty(this,'isCritical',true)

//<this> in the setProperty above, is the same like doing a <const workflow = await fromUuid(args[0].uuid)>
//and using <setProperty(workflow ,'isCritical',true)>
}

Attack normally and then roll the Divine Smite

[vast bane]

add it to the existing divine smite item macro?

[violet meadow]

Get the one that doesn't have a macro. The one with the activation condition

And put that in the empty (should be) ItemMacro

Change the crit threshold of the item to 2 or something to get a critical easier

[vast bane]

not sure what you wanted me to test but its doing weird stuff and still isn't critting the fiend/undead

[violet meadow]

Try this.

[violet meadow]

Workflow.
Roll a normal weapon attack. Do the normal workflow, damage and whatnot and then roll the Divine Smite.

I will need to test it in v9 and maybe send me your MidiQOL settings to make sure what happens

[vast bane]

the first line of the item macro has bad syntax

[violet meadow]

ok its the message data

[molten solar]

If there ever was a single feature that needed its own module it would be Divine Smite. Never has one tiny thing needed so much attention. 😄

[vast bane]

mine is working just fine 8)

[molten solar]

But it's not just you is it, it's hundreds of people

[violet meadow]

Can you quickly change to this mes=>mes.data.content.includes

Damn don't remember how that was

[vast bane]

I think alot of people are using midi's divine smite not realizing its notcritting right

kinda poetic that Midi-qol cannot read midi-qol

its like inception or something

[violet meadow]

//v9 Foundry
const getMessage = game.messages.contents.filter(mes=>mes.data.content.includes("<div class=\"dnd5e chat-card item-card midi-qol-item-card\"")).pop(); //at(-1) for Zhell
const itemUuid = getMessage.data.flags['midi-qol'].itemUuid;
const item = await fromUuid(itemUuid);
if (item.getRollData().item.actionType === "mwak" && getMessage.data.flags['midi-qol'].isCritical) {
    setProperty(this,'isCritical',true)
}

Now?

[late briar]

What is that arcane code

[vast bane]

I don't fast forward, and it did not flag the crit in the smite, and it also did not crit the fiend/undead

[late briar]

Why is there a set property method

[vast bane]

checking fast forward version now

fast forward is not critting

[violet meadow]

damn edited

[vast bane]

however, I am cheesing the crits by making the threshold 2 and up...is that a problem?

[violet meadow]

nope

I had a data missing

[vast bane]

there was no errors 0_o

[violet meadow]

yeah but the check was not evaluated to true so it didn't register anything

[vast bane]

no crit with fast forward fully on

and if I turn off fast forward and manually crit it, the fiend/undead die does not crit

[late briar]

Probably because Critical Others property is broken?

Since that should make the other roll Formular also crit

[violet meadow]

ok I will test it later on v9 and come back

Now I am taking a look at the new v10 features of MidiQOL and DAE 🤌

[late fractal]

worked! Took out my "Ghoul Claws" convenient effect as it was also applying that. Now to figure out how to have players roll to break every turn...

[violet meadow]

check the pinned message in this thread up top, from tposney

@vast bane send me your midi settings pls. Works for me 😄

[vast bane]

is it designed around calling the last message?

cause the attack is not the last message, Maxwells is

[violet meadow]

the last message that has some midi specific content (that's the hope at least)

[vast bane]

cause were testing crits, maxwell keeps firing

[violet meadow]

another quick check. Make it preItemRoll instead

[vast bane]

all the drop downs you keep referencing are not whats in my midi

is preitemroll all?

[violet meadow]

oh 😅
called before the item is rolled

[vast bane]

so heres the thing

that item already works

whehter the item macro is in or not

the problem is the other formula doesn't crit

so again, fiend/undead die is not doubling

[vast sierra]

And yet the suggestion to just use a spell (not the midi feature) and click Critical when damage prompt, still persists 😉

[vast bane]

that won't work either lol

again, crit doesn't work in other formula, so the fiend/undead die does not double

[late fractal]

the pin info also worked, thank you. For some reason the save doesnt clear the effect with saves request from Monk's Token Bar, but once i went ahead and tested with a straight Con save from the character sheet it worked perfectly.

[vast bane]

and for the record, my way works whistles

[violet meadow]

OK I will test it when I am on my v9, thanks

[vast bane]

probably have to put the fiend/undead stuff in the item macro somehow

but that also kinda defeats the purpose of the no macro smite version

and the actual item macro smite doesn't crit at all

I just created buttons in advantage reminder and work it all out in the attack roll

[molten solar]

I think you need more AR flags

[vast bane]

I think thats just 1 flag

the test was bogus and deleted already forgot it was there

One flag:

[violet meadow]

@gilded yacht when you are not fast forwarding damage rolls and you click Critical hit on the damage roll card, the Other Formula doesn't crit even if the Crit Other formula is selected.

@vast bane with your settings and the macro I shared, when you click on the Critical Hit the other formula is rolled doubled for me at least 😄

[vast bane]

it wasn't for me /shrug I tested fast forward and manual

show me the damage card lol

[violet meadow]

🤷

[vast bane]

fast forward or manual?

[violet meadow]

You need to score a critical hit with a melee weapon first. Then Use the Divine Smite feature with the ItemMacro | before the item is rolled and click the Critical button

[vast bane]

yep doin all that

I'm even rolling 20's cause I'm using df manual rolls to do it instead of crit threshold manipulation

what version of midi do you have

[violet meadow]

0.9.83

[vast bane]

same

const getMessage = game.messages.contents.filter(mes=>mes.data.content.includes("<div class=\"dnd5e chat-card item-card midi-qol-item-card\"")).pop();
const itemUuid = getMessage.data.flags['midi-qol'].itemUuid;
const item = await fromUuid(itemUuid);
if (item.getRollData().item.actionType === "mwak" && getMessage.data.flags['midi-qol'].isCritical) {
    setProperty(this,'isCritical',true)
}

this macro right?

[acoustic jasper]

damageRoll=5,
damageType=healing,
condition=@attributes.hp.value > 0 && @attributes.hp.value < @attributes.hp.max``` - another question about detecting effects - this is Midi-qol Regenaration (for OverTime effects). I created an effect "Silvered" and I would like for it to block the regeneration - can I add some condition here so it wont heal IF Silvered is present?

[vast bane]

I wonder if its the merge card?

[violet meadow]

Make an attack normally and do critical damage. Then open console and type ```js
console.log(game.messages.contents.filter(mes=>mes.data.content.includes("<div class="dnd5e chat-card item-card midi-qol-item-card"")).pop().data.flags)

are there any midi-qol flags in that message?

[violet meadow]

and the Item is mwak and the creature Undead type set in the dropdown menu

[violet meadow]

the Undead doenst matter nvm

[violet meadow]

Can you give it a target of 1 creature?

[vast bane]

merge card shut off and now my attacks refuse to crit

yeah crit no longer working and all i did was turn off merge card, the attack crits, just brainfarted its not a greatsword but a longsword

Here is my full workflow in console with it working alright except for that one missing fiend/undea die:

[violet meadow]

OK so there must be an issue with the Crit Other Formula anyways, that's why I pinged tposney (has anyone reported that as an issue in midi and if not why? :D)

BUT with your settings when an attack is critical, combined with the script does make the Crit Other actually double up\

[vast bane]

I don't see that on my end

[violet meadow]

Now as to why its not happening for you I am at a loss rn

[vast bane]

wait a minute

why is your smite different than my smite?

you aren't using midi srd's smite

errr midi sample item smite

Let me see yours:

[vast bane]

I have flavor!

AND you have critical other lol

I didn't know I had to do that

There we go

[violet meadow]

Flavor doesnt matter

Crit other does

[vast bane]

Yeah, but it got me lookin in the right spot

now we need to remember who it was that was reporting the problem, cause that was their mistake, they didn't have critical other checked

[violet meadow]

But only for the first Divine Strike. If you click again on Divine Strike after the crit, and try to crit again, it will not roll double Other Formula. Correct?

[vast bane]

yeah smites now working perfectly, do we even need the item macro then?

[violet meadow]

Yes we still need it. Here comes the buggy (if not intended part)

If you roll again Divine Smite, without a melee attack first, the Other Formula will not be doubled, if you press on Critical hit

[vast bane]

yeah I just tried without the item macro, it is infact bugged without fast forward

no critical flag on the roll, if you manually force it, the other doesn't crit

ok heres my question to you then

[violet meadow]

pretty much

[vast bane]

can you edit the item macro to make JUST that smite fast forward?

[violet meadow]

yes if needed

hmm 10 easier though

[vast bane]

please, cause I don't want him to have fast forward stuck on for smite

[violet meadow]

give me a sec to make sure

[violet meadow]

Use in the ItemMacro ```js
foundry.utils.setProperty(this,'rollOptions.fastForwardDamage',true);

[vast bane]

does it matter where it is?

[violet meadow]

up top better to be safe, if you use it within the same ItemMacro. At least not inside the if check

[vast bane]

works perfectly

[violet meadow]

@gilded yacht DAE v10.0.10 macro.createItem | Custom | drag and drop item from a compendium or sidebar or wherever in the effect value field!!! is one of the best QOL improvements ever brought forward!!
🙇‍♂️

[vast bane]

what is the use case for that?

[violet meadow]

An effect which when ON, creates the linked item in the inventory

Off deletes

[short aurora]

Twilight Sanctuary seems like a good thing for that, it adds an aura and a reaction thing as well, right?

Basically any feature that gives you several options or stark differently working options

[vast bane]

so like.....Shadowblade?

[short aurora]

Yup, gives you the weapon, yeah

[vast bane]

so lots of mutates really

replace some warpgates with midigates

[violet meadow]

You write 0 of them though

just drag the item on the effect value field and good to go

[short aurora]

Much love to this feature

[vast bane]

yeah that could also be spiritual weapon

[violet meadow]

yes

and spirit guardians, fire blade etc

[vast bane]

and it'd work with bless!

nah not spirit guardians, wait is his v10 sg not working? oh yeah...active auras...damn

[violet meadow]

What you could do with MidiSRD and macros for some spells, can be done with setting up just 1 DAE effectively

[vast bane]

Throw stone!

[violet meadow]

You can create an attack item for your Spirit Guardians attack. that was what I was doing before Active Auras where a thing and went back to doing now, for my player to have some more clicks 😄

[vast bane]

if you don't remove buttons you can also pop it out and use the original damage button

[violet meadow]

Yeah I hate that. Too many popouts and cant bother, especially if I use that from time to time

Make a weapon, click that, done

[vast bane]

I prefer the sample item and active auras /cry

[violet meadow]

If you have lots of space it can be OK

[vast bane]

love the automated version

[violet meadow]

Yeah but to be honest I am scaling back a bit on that.
Active Auras being kinda of off for some time in v10 was a good thing 😅

[vast bane]

is there a way to also auto roll them as the ae is applied?

cause that'd make ice knife really easy

[violet meadow]

Meaning? An attack immediately?

Would need to use a macro to auto roll it when created

[vast bane]

ooh another good use case, wither and decay

[violet meadow]

But Ice Knife is an easy macro with MidiQOL and you can even trigger a targets selection

Wither and Bloom?

[vast bane]

aoe damage, and then an ally in the aoe can heal expending a hit dice

item would need an item macro to expend targets hit dice though

[violet meadow]

I think I had made one 🤔

[dark canopy]

like dis?

[vast bane]

pretty sure I'm using this very one lol

but the new midi thing is a drag and drop

so no macro required

[violet meadow]

If you give the item to another target, you will still need to account for the sourceActor's spellcasting mod etc though

[vast bane]

wonder if dfreds gonna start doin stuff with his ae's for this lol

[violet meadow]

it might be a bit off the immediate scope of DFreds CE to include all the spells known to humanity which add stuff like that 😄

I can also see a macro.createToken in place, but I think that this is yet to be implemented 🤔

[coarse mesa]

If Tim’s Font of Magic lets you convert pact slots I might have to update to v10 😯

[acoustic jasper]

can you toggle an effect via macro? I know midi-qol can Toggle an effect via Item, but can you add an inactive effect and for example toggle it via macro on saving throw failure?

[dark canopy]

effect.update({disabled: !effect.disabled}) iirc

[acoustic jasper]

thanks

and efect name? or ID? How does the macro know which effect to diable?

disable

[dark canopy]

you find it from actor.effects

[molten solar]

the one he stole from me? lol

He'd have had to have added that. I ban multiclassing so I didn't bother. 😎
https://github.com/krbz999/zhell-macros/blob/main/classes/sorcerer/font_of_magic.js

[coarse mesa]

That one. I did try yours but I need the pact slot bit or what’s the point lol. Hopefully he has added that 🤞

[molten solar]

surprised if he did not. an easy add tbh

and if he did not, just ban multiclassing too.

[celest bluff]

I need to update mine

[coarse mesa]

@molten solar Tim must have heard you badmouthing Sample Compendiums in here… so he put you in one 😂

[molten solar]

The only good number of module compendiums is zero module compendiums. 😠

[coarse mesa]

I didn’t know you had one… will take a peek (I’m on v9)

[violet meadow]

I don’t like sorcerers and make them do stuff manually

[late briar]

Is it important that I modify a midi-qol itemCard synchronly?
Basically lets say I run a ItemMacro after active effects application that has a dialog and confirming the dialog modifies the itemcard with a damage only workflow, is that fine?

[violet meadow]

Does it misbehave at any point?

[late briar]

well I am asking before trying

[violet meadow]

There are only 4 classes for me! I come from 2nd edition glory days 💪

[molten solar]

ok grampa, let's get you in bed

[coarse mesa]

Back when elf was a class?

[molten solar]

and when halflings were hobbits

[violet meadow]

It was back in the day when d&d was hard and outlawed!

[molten solar]

The good ol' days of wizards casting exactly 1 cantrip and then having to use a crossbow

[violet meadow]

Exactly

Use it wisely

[coarse mesa]

To think we used to do THAC0 in our heads 😮

[violet meadow]

That 1 magic missile!

[acoustic jasper]

console.log(scene)
last.parent.effects.forEach(effect => {
    console.log(effect)
if (effect.label === "Slow")  effect.update({disabled: !effect.disabled});
if (effect.label === "Hold Person")  effect.update({disabled: !effect.disabled})
})``` eh I have no idea what I'm doing - I used "Effect Macro" so this Macro on DAE activates every time I do a saving throw. I have no idea how to make it trigger only if the saving throw fails :/

[molten solar]

🤔

[violet meadow]

Won’t work within midi as is

[coarse mesa]

Kids these days don’t know how easy they’ve got it

[molten solar]

Use the dnd5e.abilitySave trigger.

Actually lemme just check if I pass the info to EM...

Oh yeah I do

this.roll

[violet meadow]

Well do you now? 🤔

[molten solar]

this.roll and this.abilityId

[acoustic jasper]

Trying to understand 😄

[scarlet gale]

@molten solar Template macros doesn't like it when there isn't a move animation.

[violet meadow]

Broken promises…

[molten solar]

on tokens?

[scarlet gale]

Might be from drag ruler allowing you to skip the animation when you hold down alt

[molten solar]

I presume all it does is add {animate: false}.

[coarse mesa]

See, D&D is so easy now

[violet meadow]

(Not being a native English speaker, getting the players handbook and trying to understand THAC0 around 12 years old was an ordeal)

[coarse mesa]

You’re not a native English speaker 🤯

[celest bluff]

everybody loved 🌮

[scarlet gale]

Checking the other module that messes with it

[molten solar]

they and I are in the same timezone 🙃

[scarlet gale]

Since just having drag ruler and template macros doesn't break it

[molten solar]

nah, I can reproduce it

[scarlet gale]

ah cool

[molten solar]

it's when adding {animate:false}

[scarlet gale]

Speaking of, could you add that as info

[coarse mesa]

Ireland?

[molten solar]

idk lol

[molten solar]

As info?

[violet meadow]

But I am undercover from GMT+2 originally to GMT nowadays!

[celest bluff]

I always made a hit chart so I didn't have to remember that shit

[scarlet gale]

oh like the start and stop position, whether the move was animated or not

[molten solar]

Oh good idea

I'll just add the entire context object from the hook.

[scarlet gale]

nice

I was thinking that most common solution to getting out of a spike growth is to misty step away. Then I realized I need to take into account people getting in and out of the template without actually moving through it.

[violet meadow]

And then you have to deal with fly speed! 🙀😎

[scarlet gale]

Easy enough to just check the token elevation.

[violet meadow]

And burrow 👻

[molten solar]

Easy enough to just check the token elevation.

[violet meadow]

And polymorphing into a snake and slithering through

[molten solar]

Easy enough to just check the token slitheration.

[violet meadow]

Door macro!

[molten solar]

Apply macro directly to the door.

[scarlet gale]

Have the template macro make some doors around the edge of the template. Add a door macro to those and have the player get an effect when they open the door, so we can apply an effect macro.

[molten solar]

Do you know the save DC somehow?

[acoustic jasper]

no :/ I'm using OverTime to force the actor to roll at the end of each turn. But I don't know how to extract DC from that for my macro.

[scarlet gale]

label=Hold Person (End of Turn),turn=end,saveDC=@attributes.spelldc,saveAbility=wis,savingThrow=true,saveMagic=true

[acoustic jasper]

yeah but I want my macro to toggle another effect when you fail this save

[molten solar]

does midi add targetValue to saving throws? 🤔

[scarlet gale]

Should be able to add macro="world macro name" to that list

https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol#overtime-effects-and-macros

[violet meadow]

And that will have access to who saved or not

[molten solar]

console.log(this.roll.options.targetValue)

(using EM)

[violet meadow]

Hmm I cannot check now but you can implement a patch to use EM with midi 🤔

Do you define Item in EM Zhell?

[molten solar]

in a saving throw? no

there is origin

[violet meadow]

Item.uuid?

[molten solar]

... in a saving throw?

[scarlet gale]

Origin has the info you'll need as long as the effect was setup as a DAE on the item.

[molten solar]

origin.system.save.dc

[acoustic jasper]

oh yeah I see it

[molten solar]

const target = origin.system.save.dc;
const {total} = await actor.rollAbilitySave("cha", {event});
if(total < target) return;
const e1 = actor.effects.find(i => i.label === "Slow");
const e2 = actor.effects.find(i => i.label === "Hold Person");
await e1?.update({ disabled: !e1.disabled });
await e2?.update({ disabled: !e2.disabled });

[vast bane]

isn't that the same as overtime?

isn't hold person already a premade?

[scarlet gale]

They're doing something else on top of hold person

[vast bane]

Shouldn't it be called something else then lol?

[scarlet gale]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[acoustic jasper]

Hold Person is just an example 😉 I'm trying to make a Medusa Gaze "a creature that fails the save begins to turn to stone and is Restrained. The Restrained creature must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn, becoming Petrified on a failure or Ending the Effect on a success. "

[vast bane]

ok, so its not really paralyzed either

[acoustic jasper]

effect name is just a semantics here 😉

[vast bane]

well in midi qol they all do a bunch of different things to actors but yeah, so the additional effect you want to add is petrified when they fail for the third time?

I would instead mark them defeated

unless someones pulling out a greater restoration, thats essentially whats really happening

[violet meadow]

Just a macro on the overtime would do it too. Getting the save result, putting it up on a flag and checking again next turn

[scarlet gale]

A lot of options

EM means the macro is embedded

Instead of having to reference a world script

[vast bane]

yeah huge fan of EM cause it stores it like item macro

[acoustic jasper]

how to add macro on overtime?

[scarlet gale]

#1010273821401555087 message

[vast bane]

which then makes oskar's project easier to share as a premade

[violet meadow]

Indeed. I Like the options.

[summer frost]

So, a possibly obscure question.
tposney's implementation of Melf's Minute Meteor turned the individual meteors into a Feature rather than an (inventory) Item.
I kept thinking the spell was failing because I kept looking for something on the Inventory tab.
Is there a compelling TECHNICAL reason that a Feature would be preferred?

[molten solar]

Doubtful

[summer frost]

That's what I thought - but figured there might be something that I was missing. Thx.

[scarlet gale]

I do the same thing when I make spells that give you special actions. But I also flag them to get auto favorited so they are more visible when using Tidy sheet.

[violet meadow]

Yeah I guess up to personal preference

[scarlet gale]

I also have started using Custom Character Sheet Sections to separate them out on features as well.

[coarse mesa]

Inventory is probably going to make them easier to find via Token Action HUD for a spellcaster fwiw

[molten solar]

yall dont use ephemeral items? 🤔

[vast bane]

new midi has...something new

[molten solar]

ive seen it

[violet meadow]

When needed. I like seein them on the sheet

[molten solar]

For something like Flame Blade, I just do an if/else depending on if the actor is concentrating on the spell.

[scarlet gale]

I tend to just warpgate features onto the sheet using effect macros for the on creation and on deletion.

[violet meadow]

Now you need only a dae if you have the item somewhere on your world, or a compendium

[scarlet gale]

That's cool

My actual game is on v9 still, but moving to v10 going to be so nice.

[molten solar]

because of Door Macro?

[acoustic jasper]

@molten solar await e1?.update({ disabled: !e1.disabled }); await e2?.update({ disabled: !e2.disabled }); - and if I want the effect to be removed and not disabled?

[violet meadow]

Our group was on hiatus. Now they are for some surprises.

The first of them, when they open the door we conveniently stopped just before last session

[molten solar]

e1.delete()

(or deleteDialog(), whichever you prefer)

[summer frost]

[violet meadow]

Not that old!

[molten solar]

The trick is to ask about Midi in the wrong place. 🧹

[violet meadow]

Zhell is to blame!

[molten solar]

🤏

[dry heron]

Badger, I need your help again 😦

Findnearby is not accepting my Token reference

It claims it isn't a token type

Even if I pass iot just the ID of the Token as the function can interperarte the string, it returns null

[vast bane]

probably because we're running live games and it takes time to adjust all the world macros and active auras/ATE being broken

[short aurora]

When you say ID, do you mean Uuid? I believe the function needs the uuid

[dry heron]

I passed the Token ID, will try the Uuid

Perfecto, thanks @short aurora 👍

I should have read the function better, my bad

[dark canopy]

looks around who me?

[celest bluff]

MidiQOL.findNearby ?

[violet meadow]

MidiQOL.findNearby?

[molten solar]

midiQOL.findnearby

[violet meadow]

case sensitive you...

[molten solar]

No I'm not

[celest bluff]

uses canvas token, doesn't work with documents

[violet meadow]

In the meantime it was solved 😛

MidiQOL.findNearby() v10.0.15 onwards accepts tokenUuids too 🤌

well... something is missing in that sentence 😄

[molten solar]

The uuids didn't change. Did they? 🤔

[violet meadow]

The Midi function did though to be able to use the tokenUuid too 🤷

[acoustic jasper]

dc = origin.system.save.dc;

    const e1 = actor.effects.find(i => i.label === "Slow");
    const e2 = actor.effects.find(i => i.label === "Hold Person");
    await e1.delete();
    await e2.delete();
}``` Ok the macro works great. But If I attach it to "trigger on saving throw" it will trigger on any saving throw no related to the effect. So I think if I'll use EM, but "Trigger at the end of turn" it will work fine - but I need to add roll request and don't know how.

[violet meadow]

What is last = arguments[arguments.length-1]; ?

[molten solar]

const dc = origin.system.save.dc;
const {total} = await actor.rollAbilitySave("cha");
if(total < dc) { etc etc etc

(please use const or let when you declare a variable)

[violet meadow]

Effect macro lastArg missed chance :/

[molten solar]

I don't know what arguments is 🤔

[violet meadow]

I think they were trying to implement some MidiQOL/DAE specific code to EM ?

[molten solar]

Oh that won't get you far. Surprised it does not error out. 🤔

[violet meadow]

Wait I thought that was just miscopy pasted !

Are last/dc/roll all defined in EM?

@molten solar lol

[molten solar]

huh.

So it's... a Function thing? 🤔

[violet meadow]

At last! The args[0] corruption has started

But how 🤔

[acoustic jasper]

well yeah - I think I'm lost - I need to make overTime macro - probably will be easier

[molten solar]

Ignore it. The Effect Macro page has all the info you need.

[covert mason]

How would I word proficiency in wisdom saves in an active effect?

[acoustic jasper]

@smoky smelt

[violet meadow]

@acoustic jasper do you still need an OverTime?

[acoustic jasper]

yeah - I'm trying anything at this point

[violet meadow]

use backtics to put
@prof inside

So create a script macro.
Call it in the Overtime effect.
Did you check the MidiQOL readme?

[acoustic jasper]

Yeah I'm reading it right now - I think I can manage the macro, but I don't know how to input it in DAE

[violet meadow]

OK create the macro in your hotbar or macro folder.
And use its name in the Overtime effect to call it

[acoustic jasper]

(can it be an Item Macro)?

[violet meadow]

not in this case

[acoustic jasper]

saveAbility=wis,
saveDC=@attributes.spelldc,
macro="1234T",
label=Hold Person``` - so smething like that? (if 1234T is my macro name)?

Ok great, I'll work on it then. Thanks

[violet meadow]

In the macro you will be able to grab all the args[0] and the successes and failures of the OverTime saving throw will be included. You can apply any logic after grabbing the relevant results

[acoustic jasper]

    const e2 = actor.effects.find(i => i.label === "Hold Person");
if (args[0].failedSaves.length) {
    console.log("fail");
    await e1?.update({ disabled: true});
    await e2?.update({ disabled: false});
} else {
    await e1.delete();
    await e2.delete();
}``` - ok this one works with OverTime. When the actor gets Slow and succeds the effect ends. If fails he gets Hold Person. However there is some strange thing next - when save succeds on Hold Person the effect is removed... and then reapplied again.

[vast bane]

do you have cub/dfreds installed?

[acoustic jasper]

both

[vast bane]

are both trying to manage conditions?

that is typically the source of most toggle spams

turn off enhanced conditions in cub

[acoustic jasper]

still happening

ok I know nvm

[acoustic jasper]

    const e1 = actor.effects.find(i => i.label === "Slow");
    const e2 = actor.effects.find(i => i.label === "Hold Person");
    const e3 = actor.effects.find(i => i.label === "TEST321");
if (args[0].failedSaves.length) {
    {
        if (e1.disabled)
{
    //await e2.delete();
    await e2?.update({ disabled: true});
    await e3?.update({ disabled: false});
}
    else
    {
    console.log("fail");
    await e1?.update({ disabled: true});
    await e2?.update({ disabled: false});
    }
    }
}``` - ok It's working. 3 Stage macro that disables the previous stage and enables the next one on the list.

[vast bane]

I'm stealing this for my battletech/5e conversion module 8)

Can you screenshot your active effect that goes with it?

[acoustic jasper]

i was testing it on Hold Person from Midi v10

[vast bane]

if anyones curious where I'm putting it in battletech, its going in the heat table application

[acoustic jasper]

but 1 problem - for some reason there is a conflict with both CE and CUB

[vast bane]

you could probably use this macro for exhaustions

well probably not actually

[acoustic jasper]

if you add a condition from CUB or CE (for example paralyzed) 2 things happens - with CUB the last stage wont fire (second goes inactive but the 3rd wont go active)

with CE the last stage goes active but the Paralyzed condition from second stage stays

dont know why this is happening

[vast bane]

are both active?

[acoustic jasper]

I've deactivated enhanced from CUB

but CE still had this problem

[vast bane]

and its still throwing the error?

[acoustic jasper]

its not an error

[vast bane]

weird

[short aurora]

How are you adding the effects that this thing is enabling?

[vast bane]

i think hes' adding all three but 2 and 3 are deactivated, which is probably problematic for midi

[acoustic jasper]

maybe

[vast bane]

are you using statuseffect or Macro.ce?

[acoustic jasper]

maybe tposney one day will add an ability to add effects to a OverTime like he addes macroCreateItem now

so there wouldnt be any need to put them all on inactive at once

"turn=end,
saveAbility=wis,
saveDC=@attributes.spelldc,
macro="1234T",
label=Slow" - I'm using this for OverTime Dae

1234T is the name of the macro

so if the save succeds the whole thing ends

if the effect fails - we're going to the next stage

[fading scarab]

what's the attribute key for adding a bonus to saving throws via active effect?

[acoustic jasper]

@fading scarab "system.abilities.dex.save" - for dex

[vast bane]

i will teach you how to fish:

with dae installed, simply type ability.save

[fading scarab]

Ah, thanks. I knew it was in there somewhere.

[molten solar]

system.bonuses.abilities.save

that's the global one

[acoustic jasper]

this is probably why I'm getting problems with CE and CUB - Foundry can't handle tossing so many effects around (at once)

[vast bane]

you can typically sus out the keys by typing part of it with the period, and pro tip, dae always shows 10 results, you have to mouse scroll to see the other 7:(unless theres less than 10 results that match)

[molten solar]

Also a pro tip: you have the console open anyway probably. Just log an actor.

for all those core keys 👌

[vast bane]

I rarely open the console for stuff like that

dae auto completes

[molten solar]

You never write macros.

[vast bane]

I don't even need to look up advantage remidners keys cause you can just type message. and get all of his keys in dae

[molten solar]

It was specifically for everyone but you lol

[vast bane]

its an active effect not a macro

[molten solar]

Everything happening here always involves a macro

[vast bane]

👀

[short aurora]

@molten solar would a macro adjusting multiple effects be more "stable" if you threw them in an updateEmbeddedDocuments, instead of doing like Oskar did, finding and updating each individual effect? Or should it perform the same?

[molten solar]

A batch update is always preferred. The difference here is negligible.

[vast bane]

I'd imagine a better way would be Effect macro set to delete the first and add the second, and then delete the second and add the third

but I think his problem was EM doesn't work well with overtime?

[acoustic jasper]

there is a problem with this approach - for example if someone is concentrating on the effect

[molten solar]

Similarly, you can skip the disable or deletion, and just change all data of the effect. Just swap it out with a whole new set.

[acoustic jasper]

if you remove the first one, concentration ends

when you swap it, it's always connected to a concentration

[vast bane]

why would it end? that must be a v10 thing?

[short aurora]

I think it was out literally in last update

[vast bane]

concentration ending can end an effect, but not vice versa right?

I thought that was a long standing issue with concentration stuff

[acoustic jasper]

it can BUT even if it won't - still if you remove the first one

conc wont be connected to the second one

(at least I think it wont)

[vast bane]

instead of deactivating them, just rename the effect and change its image and keep it all one effect?

oh wait that won't work, cause we're in midi and each effect is automated

[acoustic jasper]

what? How could i keep them all in one if I want them to change 😉

[short aurora]

That's probably a missing flag. I am still confused how you are checking for 3 conditions in the macro. How are the other two applied?

[vast bane]

Krig they are all applied on cast

[acoustic jasper]

you're applying all 3 with one Item - 2 are inactive 1 active

[vast bane]

but two are set to disabled

[acoustic jasper]

all are OverTime

[vast bane]

I love the concept, I very much will probably use this for heat in battletech

[acoustic jasper]

so whenever you fail a save one is disabled and the other one activates

it's not mine - it's litteraly in 5e Medusa Gaze and was in some effects in 4e

[vast bane]

no I mean applying all the array of effects but only having one toggled and going in an order

[acoustic jasper]

yeah - I want to give to some monsters with diseases and curses

so the disease can get more severe with time

[vast bane]

for my idea, battletech behaves like magic the gathering turns, theres an ending heat phase, so I'll have a macro that reads the value of heat on the actor, and enable the effect based on that value

[acoustic jasper]

oh cool

[violet meadow]

@acoustic jasper you don’t need to put all 3 on the actor when first created. You can delete and add another in the macro.

You just need a flag to check how many failed saved there ve been and add/re,ove accordingly

[acoustic jasper]

but I would need to create each one via macro - I wanted to created a fast template - so I can apply it to many different effects

[vast bane]

Why would medusa's gaze be a concentration effect also, now that I'm thinking about it? Hold Person sure...but that other thing...

[acoustic jasper]

I this form I can create effects via DAE and just apply 1 macro to them (all I need to do is change the names)

[vast bane]

I could see your macro working for if they fail by more than 5 things too

[acoustic jasper]

yeah thats easy to add

[vast bane]

Poisoned if they fail, paralyzed if they fail by more than 5

Immune to poison if they succeed 0_o

[acoustic jasper]

If there were a way to change effects from CE for example, or just by Uuid

[violet meadow]

From CE yes. You can either toggle them or add remove

[acoustic jasper]

but adding each effect to a new macro takes time and I cannot do it on the fly just before the session

ok wait - so I can create a repository in CE

[violet meadow]

All in one macro

[acoustic jasper]

and toggle them from there?

[violet meadow]

Yeah that too

Read about the DfReds CE API

Or just check the included compendium with functions for DFReds CE

[vast bane]

Beach worthy reading right thar

[violet meadow]

I didn’t write even one of the DFreds correct above 😅

[acoustic jasper]

ok it's quite easy 😄

[violet meadow]

It is isn’t it?!

[acoustic jasper]

the only problem is (again) if I want to retain concentration

secondary effect (created via CE) is not connected to the concentration anymore

[violet meadow]

You can dig through the concentration effect data and just change its origin I imagine

Edit: probably not origin but if you log the concentration data/system you will get it

[short aurora]

tposney did just write in the notes that multiple effects on different targets can all be ended to end concentration, so I imagine it should be possible to put them on all your effects, at least that's how I read this

* Small change to concentration processing. If the last active effect/template associated with the concentration effect is removed concentration will be removed. For example, if you bless 2 characters and then bless is removed from both of those characters, concentration will be removed from the caster.```

... why did I write that was js stare

[violet meadow]

Yeah concentration will stay up until the last of the affected creatures stops being under the influence of the effect

[acoustic jasper]

sadly it's not working like that

when I remove the first effect (the one that was active on cast)

the Concentration is removed with it

maybe it's because the other two were inactive

[violet meadow]

Yeah. Before removing it, access the concentration data and change its target (kinda)

Oh I am curious now, but I am in bed 🛌

[acoustic jasper]

oh and sadl

y

CE doesnt go well with OverTime

"saveDC=@attributes.spelldc"

CE can't get it

even if an effect on an item (on an actor) will call for it

[vast bane]

are you trying to do overtimes with dfreds premades?

[violet meadow]

Oh wait a sec. What does your workflow look like now?

Are you exchanging overtime effects with new DFreds CEs?

[acoustic jasper]

I've created a new effect on CE - then added overtime to it. Then created an effect on an item with CEmacro that triggered the first one

then an actor used the item on another actor to apply the effect - sadly CE wasnt able to get spellDC like overtime normaly does

[vast bane]

is there a way to make an effect apply if a save is failed, and then also another effect apply only if fail by more than 5?

[violet meadow]

Yes with a macro

[acoustic jasper]

if (args[0].failedSaves.length) {} - that's what I was doing all day 😄

[violet meadow]

Just keep in mind that there might be multiple targets 😅

[acoustic jasper]

ok I'll try to poke it some more tommorow. At least it's working - kinda 😄

[violet meadow]

Will take a look too. Just to make sure, the premise is make petrified effect from Medusa’s gaze happen if the target fails their second save, correct?

Or that kind of workflow

[acoustic jasper]

yes - and the target is making that save at the end of his turn

So first roll - saved=nothing; failed=restrained. Second roll (at the end of a turn) - saved = restrained ends; failed = restrained ends but petrified begins.

[violet meadow]

Yep gotcha!

Hmmm should I check if I have enough battery on the potato laptop? 🤔

[acoustic jasper]

It's not that hard for a Gaze specificly, but if I want a template - where I could swap a creature (so DC changes) and add a third step (for example Restrained -> Paralyzed -> Petrified) thats where it gets tricky 😉

[violet meadow]

Well you could create the whole overtime effect programmatically in a macro on use. There you would be able to set the overtime dc to whatever you want

And it is the best kind of template actually 😅

[molten solar]

pops back in
sup, whatchall doin at this hour?

still medusa?

[violet meadow]

It’s more of a global phenomena by now!

[molten solar]

Oh, are we generalising?

[violet meadow]

Overengineered solutions to 5e edge cases. What a blast!

[twilit storm]

Hello!
I am having a problem with the module interface. There is no checkbox in the options that should, and I really don't know why that is.
I disabled all the other modules, but it's still like that.

[vast bane]

I'm just here so I don't get fined

[violet meadow]

Can you quickly try without the localization?

[twilit storm]

I managed to solve this. The socketlib module was not activated.

Thanks, anyway!

[vast bane]

@pulsar apex did it work after the update?

[pulsar apex]

just finished the update. it got stuck on a loop trying to update some module that i didn't mean to install

it was the update

[vast bane]

link the actor on the map, or open the actors sheet in the side bar, click prototype, and then link the data there, and drag him out anew

[pulsar apex]

the artificer has class based reactions that midi was never prompting me for

so it was just waiting for the timeout

[vast bane]

so its all working now?

[pulsar apex]

yep seems so

[vast bane]

k we'll chalk that up to probably it being just needing to restart, and the update fixed it accidentally

[pulsar apex]

just a question btw. the full automation like this. do you ever run into trouble with features that require players to decide things before results of rolls are known?

[vast bane]

I don't use full automation

infact I suggest turning it all back to what you had before if thats what you preferred

I'm one of the weirdos that just use midi for effect transfers mostly, I prefer fast forward to be off and for the buttons to remain in chat lol

[celest bluff]

I usually test for those

I try to write my code so there's only a few choices to make

[vast bane]

if you go through midi's settings, and you don't know what something is, you can snippet it here, and ask and I'm sure 10 of us will reply pretty quickly with the answer

[pulsar apex]

that's one thing that's killing me is i just simply don't code in java script. the foundry gui plus new syntax to learn is hurting my brain

[vast bane]

Your reaction setting is set to show the attack total fyi, you can hide it on reaction prompts

it even hides it from the GM

I'm sure plenty of the guys in here will coax you along for midi syntax and macros and all that jaz, but if you want UI centric semi automation, I'm a huge fan of advantage reminder module, if you don't fast forward in midi, its far simpler to setup and it doesn't require a major in computer science

[celest bluff]

A lot of us have repos where we take the burden off of you for that

[vast bane]

yeah but the repos are quite shallow in depth in v10 atm, missing a midi srd replacement

[celest bluff]

then you can always look at the code and learn from it

Yeah I am slowly updating all of my stuff

while releasing new stuff

[vast bane]

Theres a small chance I might be on v10 around thanksgiving though! I get a week off from the table then and that might buy me the time I need to tweak all the v10 breakages

the newest midi has really got me longing for v10 now lol

I love me drag and drop simplicity

[celest bluff]

think i've written some artificer things, I did have one in my campaign for a tiny bit.

[pulsar apex]

alrighty well Moto thank you for all the help and I'm sure i'll be back here tomorrow to figure out why the hell blade ward isn't adding resistance like it should. but for now i'm going to bed

[vast bane]

my newb mistake I made with resistances was mistaking the midi flag with DR in it for the system flag with dr in it. the system flag is damage resistance, the midi flag is damage reduction.

in v10 system flags usually say system.dnd5e.something, midi flags usually have midi in the name.

[pulsar apex]

-_- well at least now I’ve got a place to start because I definitely used the midi flags

[vast bane]

thats for things like heavy armor master

I think we all make those mistakes, rookie mistake is all

[coarse mesa]

If you do end up revisiting this, could you please include conversion of pact slots?

[celest bluff]

I'll test and see what I can do

Looking over the code I did remove pact slots

[coarse mesa]

I saw that lol... why all the sorlock hate 😆 The one Tim added into the Midi compendium is just Zhell's with a couple of extra lines at the start – so nothing new on the pact front

[vast bane]

I don't allow features with pact slots at my table so /shrug

[celest bluff]

if I remember it messed with keys

cause it doesn't follow a number format

[coarse mesa]

I swear I play my slots responsibly

[celest bluff]

I could see if I push it in afterwards, if that'll fix it

I don't have time tonight to work on it, I gotta design a couple maps for tomorrows session

last minute push lol

[coarse mesa]

All good, no pressure at all! Thanks

Hope your session goes well

[celest bluff]

should, my players are exploring a maze dungeon, which can be less of a maze if they remember to use the amulet they stole

Think i need to make my shadow creatures deadlier

[river urchin]

I've been searching for a while but i don't seem to find an answer, just people assuming what it does, so: what is fast forwarding something in midi?

[vast bane]

the advantage/normal/disadvantage and crit/normal popouts when doing an attack. If you fast forward in midi, it assumes with flags what you would have chosen and never shows you either window. In core, you can fast forward by holding down buttons to set your choices without the window popping up(you can still do it in midi too but midi can detect automated methods and know for you).

Its important to understand that auto attack and auto damage is not the same thing as fast forward. Those settings are the skipping of having to press the attack and damage buttons in the chat card.

[river urchin]

aaaah gotcha

thanks

[river urchin]

i thought auto attack was fast forwarding, so that message makes it clear

[vast bane]

I prefer not to fast forward at all cause I use a module called advantage reminder where I offload tons of info for the players in the popouts

[coarse mesa]

Playing around in v10 and I notice Wasp has this feature in Item Piles... I'm sensing Zhell's hand in it for some reason 🧐

[violet meadow]

Only if the merchant’s shop has a … Door

[molten solar]

What can I say. I am a wellspring of good ideas and a river to my people.

But nah, IP always had a feature to execute a macro when interacting with piles, this is probably just an extension of that.

I don't currently use it 🙂

[coarse mesa]

It’s incredibly well thought out and feature rich, I take my hat off to Wasp… can’t wait to start using it properly

[coarse mesa]

Our beloved babonus has been granted a snippet by the Google algo lol

Step 1, implement the alchemist…

[violet meadow]

Back to the AD&D topic ... ban all but THE 4 CLASSES

[river urchin]

any alternative to dnd5e helpers that works with midi to calculate cover?

[coarse mesa]

Bring back the Acrobat

[violet meadow]

Levels cover calc (a patreon subbed one I think) for now

Is it behind the patreon or not? 🤔

[coarse mesa]

There’s a new module imminent that will fill that gap, hopefully not too far off… Simbul’s something

[river urchin]

thing is in the description of midi's settings for its integration with cover calculation it specifically mentions helpers in order to calculate "4 points check"

[coarse mesa]

Yeah that’s a bit misleading for v10… tposney will remove that reference eventually no doubt

Maybe he’s waiting for the Simbul module and will fix it then

[vast bane]

a few modules were lost in the v10 update, and the mod authors are all workin hard to bring them back to us, dndhelpers, active auras, and active token effects come to mind

midi srd to a lesser extent, cause you can just install a v9 and bring them over manually via copying the compendiums to the world.

[violet meadow]

Question for ones that hide Item Details on chat card from system settings and MidiQOL settings.

Do you think that creating a listener that would open a pop-up description on click (or render the Item Sheet directly) would help?
The click would be on top of the Item's Icon on the chat card created

And/or show description on hover 🤔

[vast bane]

I used to, but I trust my players to roleplay so they collapse by default and I don't hide GM stuff

[violet meadow]

Fair point

Maybe right click on Item name opens up Item Sheet

[coarse mesa]

We have them collapsed by default, but it is handy having it expand if needed

[vast bane]

my players police each other and shame anyone who peeks lol

[coarse mesa]

Are we getting a Bugbear’s Little Details module?

[violet meadow]

Nah I mean it doesn't make sense a module to do that. A PR would be enough 🤷

[coarse mesa]

Hey wasn’t there some chatter about another mystifying module a while back… any movement on that? Or was it dnd5e?

[molten solar]

There is a PR for the system for hiding details on unidentified items.

[coarse mesa]

Ah

I see Forien’s isn’t v10 yet

[molten solar]

https://github.com/foundryvtt/dnd5e/pull/1696

OOOOOH what is THIS

https://github.com/foundryvtt/dnd5e/pull/1888

[kind cape]

Well it looks suspiciously like a PR 😎

[molten solar]

Looks like a third-pact-caster in the future to me

[violet meadow]

that's some good sh#t

[tepid remnant]

Is there a shorthand way of getting the result of a previous roll/workflow? I'm looking to implement something that will take care of features like Ancestral Guardian Barbarian's Spirit Shield or the Interception fighting style where one actor rolls some dice and subtracts it from the damage of the previous role.

My idea is just to snag the result of the previous roll, set that to be the minimum result and alter the roll of the protection item to include that limitation to something like min(1d10, damage) and have it apply that amount of healing. Open to suggestions for better ways though. I didn't see a way to have an actor react to an ally getting hit using the reaction processing.

[violet meadow]

Not a straightforward way at least.
You could use an Active Aura to "create a reaction item" on the allies for instance and link the uses back to the sourceActors resources etc

And the issue with workflows is that they won't be universally available, but instead on the local client, so you might not be able to tap into them.

Could get the info from the ChatMessage after the attack and use the "reaction" item to give back (with some caveats like what happens if you were supposed to stop some concentration damage)

[vast bane]

for interception couldn't you do a short duration DR?

reaction

[violet meadow]

Its on a different actor. The ally helps them

[vast bane]

yeah, I didn't say automatic reaction

as long as you aren't a fast forward fanatic, it could work right?

[violet meadow]

Ah yeah, I thought you meant a reaction processed by Midi

[vast bane]

fast forward breaks all the reactions anyway

if you auto apply damage just undo the damage and have the reaction fire if they didn't do it fast enough

[tepid remnant]

I have fast forward on but things shield, deflect missle, etc seem to work just fine. It just pauses for a moment waiting for the target to select a reaction

[vast bane]

yeah cause they target the caster

ask a lore bard how he likes fast forward in midi

[tepid remnant]

Haha that is a good point

[vast bane]

reactions from other players have no time to do anything

emboldening bond 2.0(reactive bond) another reaction that can't happen when fast forward is on

[tepid remnant]

Hmm I guess its a choice of functionality vs time saving. The fast forward rolls really feel like they speed things up and my group is used to it from using better rolls all the way until v9.

Decisions, decisions

[vast bane]

you could also reimagine the reactions that are for others by making EVERYONE have them

I'd just handle interception and reactive bond manually, but thats cause I can't even write a hello world script

[tepid remnant]

Yes I thought about that as well. My first idea was to have an aura that grants the reaction item, the target could then ask if its ok to use the reaction, they use it, and the aura would get turned off until the start of the source actor's turn. I think this is what thatlonelybugbear was suggesting actually.

[short aurora]

Someone did have a journey writing a world script to impose disadvantage on attacks towards allies here, so I imagine it is possible to fully automate, but I don't think there's any quick swap solution. I want to say it was aspect of the hawk or something related, but I can't quite remember

[vast bane]

wow, that new midi, if it infact works like that, active auras are gonna be nuts

[scarlet gale]

@violet meadow What would the update effect as midi-qol looks like?

[vast bane]

I think interception is the one where you roll a dice and reduce damage?

[short aurora]

It is, it's the concept of a thing. Being able to use your reaction on something happening to an ally.

[kind cape]

It was for the Hawk Totem of the Shepard Druid

[violet meadow]

let efUpdates = ({
        _id: drainEffect.id, 
        changes: [

    });
    console.log(efUpdates);
    await MidiQOL.socket().executeAsGM("updateEffects", {actorUuid: targetActor.uuid, updates: [efUpdates]});
}

[violet meadow]

Yeah sorry if not clear

[tepid remnant]

Well, this looks like right rabbit hole to jump in! Thanks!

[violet meadow]

@unborn star can you ping me here, or reply to this msg, with what you want to do for the AC based on HP, so as to be able to find it easier?

[unborn star]

Hi @violet meadow .
The ideal would be to be able to set up certain triggers, which will react to certain percentages of HP that a specific tokens has, compared to its max HP.

Example.
At <50% HP it gets -2 AC
At <25% HP it has its movement halved.

And so on. I know how to make these work in CUB, but as far that i know, these will affect all creatures?

v10?

[unborn star]

oh, no I haven't updated, since two of my friend lost their worlds doing that. Still rocking my trusty v9 - build 280

[violet meadow]

No backups? 👀

[unborn star]

They had their world folders backed up, but for some reason v.10 refused to load them

[violet meadow]

But the worlds lost in not a common thing. Did they ask around in #1014592525161467974 ?
They would probably get sorted

[unborn star]

Or one got it to run the world, but all Tokens and Scenes were ruined

[unborn star]

I think it must have something to do with the modules they used beforehand, that are most likely not updated yet.
I tried the same when i went from v.8 to v.9, where all my mosters and characters got screwed up majorly, since i used a certain module to alter character sheets in v.8

@violet meadow New issue, deleting the effect with midi doesn't seem to clear out the effect from macro.tokenMagic on it like a normal deletion would.

[sudden crane]

At some point I wrote the spirit shield macro, it was not fully automated and you had to not auto roll damage to allow the barbarian to use its manual reaction to prevent damage. It was using :

• DAE
• Item Macro
• Token Auras (visible aura to know which token could be targeted by the spirit shield)
• MidiQOL "on use" actor and item macro

[violet meadow]

Now use Template macro and Token Attacher to move a template around and good to go for automation 😄

To be honest with the new DAE macro.createItem all these could be even easier to handle (giving others premade items)!

[violet meadow]

Make a quick check. After you update the effect for the number of duplicates, are there tokenMagic flags on it (I think it uses flags at least)

Were any also in the first place? Need to open up Foundry to remember how does this work

[sudden crane]

But how would you interrupt the midi workflow to allow the time to use the reaction? It would need midi to support this directly or a world script that registers on midi event hooks

[scarlet gale]

I don't see any flags from tokenmagic on the actor.

There is one on the token

[violet meadow]

The Active aura or some other sort of modules combo, would need to create on the allies of the sourceActor a reaction item (must be using normal MidiQOL reaction workflow and probably make it a 0 reaction one).
If the attack triggers, the target would ask (verbally) the sourceActor OK to use?
If yes, they use it.
A macro onUse on that Item would take care of "consumption" of the correct token.actor's reaction

[violet meadow]

Just delete that too if it still exists, after you delete as GM the effect

Can't you create a DFreds custom Mirror Image effect and do that easier? 😅

[violet meadow]

forgot to reply <#1010273821401555087 message>

TL'DR an aura should be creating a reaction Item on all allies 🤷

But a Hook on midi-qol.reactionProcessing if something like that is available would make it easier 🤔 !

[scarlet gale]

Surely tokemagic has a function to delete effects off a token

[violet meadow]

yeah

documented in the repository

[scarlet gale]

TokenMagic.deleteFilters right?

[violet meadow]

sounds about right

[scarlet gale]

What do would I pass if it wants a placeable? Can I just give it the token?

[violet meadow]

yeah the token should be fine. You can provide a filterId too iirc

Otherwise it would delete all from the token

[scarlet gale]

yea

[violet meadow]

So I do remember that at some point in the workflow an Array of available reactions is being assembled.
If you could inject others in there based on a findNearby function logic, it could do it

Hmm but then you would need to create an ephemeral Item to roll, or use some socket to roll an item as another client or whatnot

[jagged cairn]

How would you guys go about making an effect that retrieves the last dice rolled by the player and uses that number as the modifier for the effects?

Mostly

[scarlet gale]

Wrap the roll in [[ and ]] in the effect.

If you want it to always be the same number

aka

[[1d4]]

[sudden crane]

Midi is already doing that because the reaction is already done during another token’s turn. Also the current method that handles reaction in midi would need to be updated to allow the reaction the be on another token than the target… which is enforced right now

[jagged cairn]

Something like this?

[scarlet gale]

Keep in mind you'll have different rolls between the two of those.

[violet meadow]

Yeah fair point.

This discussion actually prompted me to try creating Reactive Damage effects utilising Hooks like midi-qol.RollComplete some actor update and moving away from what I was doing before with Active Auras.

Like damaging creatures who attack you within melee range after their attack

[scarlet gale]

Unless there is a more clever way, I think you'll need to sync up their values with an itemmacro.

@jagged cairn

[jagged cairn]

Lost me there, how would i go about that?

[violet meadow]

You could use a macro to roll and create the effects when you use the item, based on the roll.total

[scarlet gale]

Is there a @ thing for the item damage rolled?

[violet meadow]

@damage

[scarlet gale]

Have the item roll a no damage roll

then use @damage

[sudden crane]

But when would you register the hook? In a world script?

[violet meadow]

I think from the actual Item with a DAE macro.ItemMacro on an effect Transfer to Actor on Item Equip 🤔

You would need to roll the Item every session though like so hmmm

or actually every time you connect

(or you can't go wrong with an Effect Macro/or DAE trigger per creature's turn, that would check for an existing hookID saved in a flag on the creature and if none present with that ID, renew the Hook call)

[jagged cairn]

Worked like a charm

Ty!

[scarlet gale]

🥳

Figured there had to be something easier than a macro for that

[jagged cairn]

Very nice since they can see the number they rolled before applying the effect

[violet meadow]

Oh I think my Fire Shield just got much more straightforward to implement! testing!

[scarlet gale]

Couldn't figure out the token magic filter thing. So I just decided to make my own macro that's tagged as run as GM.

let actor = args[0];
if (!actor) return;
let effectName = args[1];
if (!effectName) return;
let effect = actor.effects.find(eff => eff.label === effectName);
if (!effect) return;
effect.delete();```

function deleteEffect(actor, effectName) {
    return game.macros.getName('Chris-DeleteEffect').execute(actor, effectName);
}

[violet meadow]

yeah why not 👍

[scarlet gale]

Less easy to share, but whatever
