MidiQOL

[strong yew]

Also, if you use the ddb-override compendium, it will use those modifications to spells/features instead of the imported compendium

So I put the midiqol stuff I wanted to prioritize in that compendium

[vast bane]

I just eldritch blast 3 times or however many, its not a spell slot spell and targets can change

[strong yew]

and there's a checkbox on Advanced for the ddb-import to pull from the override instead

[vast bane]

magic missile and scorching ray are a style choice how you handle it, personally I recast them without slot expense

[strong yew]

Ok fair enough

Second annoying question, any tips for dealing with Echo knight?

Have a player that is 3 Echo knight/2 Celestial Warlock

ah

[unborn cosmos]

I've just decided to make an "echo" actor that has 1 hp in the prototype token

[vast bane]

definitely ban filthy warlock dips

[unborn cosmos]

and then I'll just periodically update it if something importnat changes to the echo

[vast bane]

make the echo have all damage type immunities

[strong yew]

Yeah I made an echo as well. In the prototype token? I just duplicated the token

[vast bane]

and turn off the ranges for the echo knights melee attacks, just zero out the range

you could use warpgate, but you guys seem new, I won't confused you

[strong yew]

Yeah still relatively new, but somewhat savvy. I work in software for my job

[unborn cosmos]

I looked at warpgate once and decided I'll save that for the next campaign I GM :P

[strong yew]

I wonder if I could rework the spiritual weapon macro for manifest echo

[unborn cosmos]

Echo shouldn't have damage immunities though right? just immune to all conditions

[vast bane]

warpgate is pretty simple, its when you try to get fancy with it that it becomes a problem

and the wiki for warpgate has someone who wrote a bunch of midi samples so you likely already have them and you can copy them

the problem with the echo is you have no idea what weapons they will use so it wil be a pita to warpgate it with a bunch of items specially if their items change. I'd just remove the range from the players weapons and attack from wherever they stand and totm that the echo struck

but the animation to summon just the echo is pretty simple

const [spawn] = await warpgate.spawn("Zombie");
new Sequence().effect().file("jb2a.misty_step.01.blue").atLocation(spawn).play()

Think this is a basic sequencer/jb2a/warpgate macro for ya. I cut it out so I dunno if it works as is

[unborn cosmos]

neat

[strong yew]

Is there a way to handle the teleport?

RIght now it seems to just misty step the player to whatever location

and I guess I can just misty step the echo as well

but just curious if there's already a "Swap these two token's position" effect somewehre

Also, for spiritual weapon for MidiQOL items, it says "You need a spiritual weapon world actor - you can use the one from Warpgate"

[vast bane]

do they swap or do they assume its position?

[strong yew]

I don't seem to have a compendium from warpgate. Is it a different module?

[vast bane]

that is probably a typo

I think they meant jb2a's

[gilded yacht]

I must remember not to test complex conditions late at night - fix in 10.0.23

[strong yew]

As a bonus action, you can teleport, magically swapping places with your echo at a cost of 15 feet of your movement, regardless of the distance between the two of you.

[vast bane]

I'm sure its possible, check the warpgate wiki, which btw, is one of the best informative readmes for the stuff, one of the people who wrote it wrote a bunch of midi centric versions/samples

[gilded yacht]

All of the isSave/isSaveSuccess/isSaveFailure are handled in the saving throw roll itself (expireRollEffects). The success/failure cases are there in case the saving throw was done without a target and midi needs to adjudicate if the save succeeded or not.

[unborn cosmos]

is midi-qol.DR.<damagetype> resistance?

[vast bane]

no thats damage reduction

damage resistance have system.something keys

dr is damage resistance in dae, and DR is damage reduction

think of DR like heavy armor master

[unborn cosmos]

oh, do I use flags.midi-qol.absorption.cold for absorb element?

yeah you right, DR is flat

I already went through this because I had to make a heavy armor master feature

[gilded yacht]

system.traits.dr.

[vast bane]

I think absorption is for healing for that amount isn't it? check the readme

oh I think absorption is not in the readme

twitman I think theres already a premade absorb elements

[gilded yacht]

• flags.midi-qol.absorption.damageType (acid/bludgeoning etc.) converts damage of that type to healing when applied to the actor with the flag set.

[unborn cosmos]

I can't find it in my midi srd spells

[vast bane]

midi sample items

[unborn cosmos]

definitely don't want absorb then

aha

[strong yew]

Hmm. Trying to find an example somewhere to set weapon activation cost

is it like system.activationCost or something?

Trying to adjust the spiritual weapon item macro to set the cost as 1 bonus action when it creates the attack so it auto-shows up on the argon hud

[violet meadow]

Log the item in console to see the structure

[vast bane]

make the item on the actor, and only mutate the changes

you don't need to make the whole thing from scratch

the only thing that changes is the damage maybe, and the to hit

but also....spiritual weapon is a premade in midi

[strong yew]

Yeah I'm altering the pre-made one

[vast bane]

You just have to make the actors name match, get some art, and call the attack the same thing as the midi sample item calls it

[strong yew]

Premade one seems to create the spiritual weapon attack weapon

[vast bane]

hmmm, the old one just mutated the spell attack and damage

[strong yew]

I see where it's setting the properties in the item macro at least I think

Maybe it's a mutate though, I'll play around

[vast bane]

if you edit it on the actor you should be fine, just do 1 bonus action in the sidebar actor

[strong yew]

Yep thank you, it was just modifying it if it was already there

now it shows up and works properlyu

thanks

[strong yew]

Has anyone messed around with modifying Spirit guardians to other spells?

I got some of it working on Moonbeam. Using the active auras as a template and comparing with spirit guardians. I now have the template for moonbeam set with the aura, and it does apply correctly when someone enters the aura. Pops up with a card to roll damage as well

But then it seems like the damage can't roll. Nothing happens when I click it

[vast bane]

I made my moonbeam an actor warpgate summons

[strong yew]

Oh, interesting

[vast bane]

it just has an attack it does on their turn

[strong yew]

I see

[vast bane]

knowing what I know now, I probably should make it a template aura

[coarse mesa]

Once @violet meadow's Template Macro SG makes it into the mainstream I'll probably look at that for moonbeam and sickening radiance. @scarlet gale has a Template Macro cloudkill that sounds good too

(and Spike Growth)

[strong yew]

I'm like almost there. Got the rolls working again, but it's just not triggering upon entering now

What setting do I have enabled that makes this show up for this spell

Can't seem to locate it

Active effects should apply when they walk into the aura right

[vast bane]

did you install effect transferral or something?

oh thats a weird setting in midi, you have auto apply active effects off, or when you cast the spell it targeted nobody

[strong yew]

This should be correct right

I placed moonbeam on a blank square to test walking into it

so yeah there were no targets

so that's normal if there aren't any

[vast bane]

its 4 squares fwiw

[strong yew]

Ah, yeah sorry just meant blank area

[scarlet gale]

Spike growth is pretty much good to go. I recently got cloudkill into a good spot too if anyone is feeling adventurous and wants to give it a test run.

[coarse mesa]

Does it move of its own accord now? Not necessary but it would be terrifying lol

[scarlet gale]

No, but that's my next project

I rewrote it to work fine with multiple cloudkills on the field

Was fun trying to apply 5e rules to overlapping templates

[coarse mesa]

5e rules are not meant for VTTs haha

[scarlet gale]

https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros/tree/main/Spells/Cloudkill

May need to make sure your advanced macros isn't the new version

I haven't had time to make sure it didn't break this

[violet meadow]

I am planning on pitting AA against Template macros this week for Spirit Guardians as soon as the midi OT issue is resolved.

AA feels that it has an easier/more straightforward setup than the one with Template Macros+Token Attacher, at least in the case of Spirit Guardians.

The forced movement damage issue can be fixed too.

Template macros way feels smoother.

The more options the merrier! 😅

[scarlet gale]

OT issue was just fixed in last update

[vast bane]

was it?

I thought 19 is the only safe version atm elwin posted somethin that was wrong

[violet meadow]

A new issue. It will be fixed on .23

[strong yew]

Can't for the life of me figure out how I got it close before lol

[strong yew]

Lol gave up and tried messing with other spells players are likely to use

Tried Darkness from the Aura's compendium

And I guess there's some loop there or something wrong with my setup

It just chain blinds everyone inside endlessly lol

like 40 applications on one target

[vast bane]

I just fixed that lol

could probably search me and darkness for the fix, I can't remember what it was

[coarse mesa]

Yikes it sounds like we still need the dust to settle for v10

[vast bane]

nah that was broken in v9

its not the midi srd darkness, its the AA darkness

[coarse mesa]

Ah true

[vast bane]

oh I think it was cause the ae was setup as an aura too

Chris fixed it not me, I think it was the ae

it needed macro.ce, not statusEffect

oh also, you can't have the broken advanced macros, or it will break I think also

[strong yew]

Oh, thanks

Where do I drop this?

[vast bane]

if you make a fake item in side bar you can right click it and import that file and the item turns into darkness

then move it to an important compendium of yours and distribute it whrever. Requres 1.18 or older advanced macros, midi srd, midi qol, active auras, dfreds ce

pretty sure the only thing that had to change was the ae key on darkness, instead of statuseffect you had to do macro.ce or macro.cub

[strong yew]

Ah, sweet than kyou

Yeah I have everything there

huh, that didn't seem to work

[vast bane]

edit the guy who cast it and show me the darkness spells ae

hmmm

that is not my spell

did they already have blinds on them? the darkness should be above them or else its something else that aplied those

[strong yew]

all good, refreshed actually and it's working

some weird caching probably

[teal hornet]

I'm trying to figure out why Chromatic Orb won't cast to Chat.

I have a lot of other automation working quite nicely.

Any thoughts on where I might start looking?

[coarse mesa]

You have targets selected?

[teal hornet]

That's right.

[coarse mesa]

Most likely the itemMacro hasn’t been updated to v10

[teal hornet]

Hmm. Sure.

[vast bane]

no he has all 3 ghostbusters installed

[teal hornet]

Not great with macros yet. Decent with code.

[molten solar]

There are several steps you need to take before any troubleshooting can be fruitful in any capacity, Trent.

[teal hornet]

Yes, to follow the chain and find the break.

[molten solar]

Please see my message in #dnd5e where I pinged you. 🙂

[vast bane]

eh not sure about RSR but pretty sure hes got RG and midi(and item macro character hooks on)

I kinda wanna know if its RG on v9 8)

[molten solar]

RSR adds that 'quick roll' tab

[vast bane]

is the quick rolls thing the frgbrg module or whatever, Fast rolls by default?

oooh ok

wow

[molten solar]

Wait, is it FRBD? Crap, gotta check.

[vast bane]

FYI FrBD also needs to be off IF you want midi, to be clear, we're not telling you that you have to use midi, just that a bunch of your modules are all incompatible with each other. @teal hornet

[molten solar]

Yeah it's RSR

[vast bane]

hey atleast we know the UUID can get bumped off the top bar, never seen that

[molten solar]

This isn't the way I like doing science.

[vast bane]

hehe

[teal hornet]

Really helpful. Which is FrBD?

[molten solar]

'Faster Rolling by Default'

[teal hornet]

nod

[molten solar]

Compatible with RG by design, but not with any of the others.

[vast bane]

if you want effect transferral and automated damage application/management, you probably want midi, but if you can live without those, you can try RG or ready set roll

[teal hornet]

I have a personal changelog on OneNote for my distro. 🙂

Working it out with community docs.

[molten solar]

I mean... you can get effect transferral pretty effectively without midi

[vast bane]

though you could do effect transferral with the others I believe, with actual effect transferral

yeah I just didn't know if RSR worked with it, nobody ever confirms

[molten solar]

It did last I heard.

Also 'Effective Transferral' is the name.

[vast bane]

so you need to pick between Ready Set Roll, Roll Groups+FRBD, or Midi.(ANd get rid of ASE)

[teal hornet]

Very cool.
get rid of ASE
nod okay
Reimport spells/items to compendia, dump that stuff. Got it.
I think Midi-qol is my approach for now.

[vast bane]

if you are going with midi, you also need to navigate to the item macro module settings and turn off character sheet hooks

[molten solar]

Out of interest, what are the "community docs" you mentioned?

[teal hornet]

General state of various contributed module README.md and the like.
Here I am almost overflowing pasta for my boys while hitting support.

Going to serve gnocchi, hit my base install with your helpful suggestions, test in Dev, and report back.

Many thanks!

Don't have FrBD installed.
My notes are to dump:

• Ready Set Roll
• Roll Groups

Untick [ ] character sheet hooks in Item Macro module.

You folks are great.

[vast bane]

if you still get an error paste it here with the item macro on the item later when you test again

[teal hornet]

@vast bane @molten solar Immediate success on my specific question of Chromatic Orb.
Chat card and midi-qol behavior as expected.

Knocked off one item before our session tomorrow.
Time to eval other behaviors/interactions.

Excellent. My thanks.

Improved UI/UX.

[late fractal]

@vast bane your fix for Precision Attack is working, thank you! Before applying that change the dae flag was sometimes disappearing, but now with the change it seems to be stable. Was the change to let actorDup = testActor.toObject(); expected to fix it like that? Also here is a quick additional fix to the missing icon

[vast bane]

Midi seems to perform very poorly with my setup in v10. the delay to completion of simple actions are crazy

[violet meadow]

Well 2.8secs from when?

[vast bane]

I assume that is the time from clicking normal to printing the card in foundry after casting cure wounds

theres 13 yellow warnings and 5 red errors on the cast, though those red ones are 10.0.21's debugger bug

[violet meadow]

Do you have auto animations for the cure wounds?

[vast bane]

yes and dsn

[violet meadow]

Try without

[vast bane]

the yellow warnings seem to be midi, dae, and combat booster

[violet meadow]

It doesn't sound that bad 2.8 from normal till the roll is done

[vast bane]

yeah maybe its dsn?

isn't thre a setting to prevent spoiling?

when the 3d dice roll?

[violet meadow]

And you probably have quite a lot going on in the meantime

Ah yes

It stops execution till the roll is finished

[vast bane]

k so maybe v10 reset my dsn settings

turned on the silencer module and it looks less ugly in console, I dunno there still seems to be an input delay, and the tidy5e sheets, when you delete something, it poofs, then comes back for a lil bit, then poofs again

[violet meadow]

I mean there are so many things that might be happening with lots of modules on.

That one with tidy I have never seen

[vast bane]

I don't really have alot, 63 active 70 installed

[violet meadow]

But yeah something sounds off

Only issue I have with tidy is that usually the first time you try to use an item after you open the sheet, the item doesn't roll

[vast bane]

99% of my issues are just an input delay between doing and happening

in general

[violet meadow]

Probably something introduces a delay till the on click listeners or whatever used are ready to go, for my issue

[vast bane]

I wonder if its cpu or ram that dictates how well a server performs the shims

or HD speed

where do I go to find the older 10.0.19 midi?

[violet meadow]

Go to the repository and in the files of the module locate the package folder. It has all the zips of midi versions

Grab the one you need, unzip in the module folder. Keep in mind that it might unzip it in its own folder

[manic tendon]

Does anyone know if there's a midi-qol flag that stops rolls from being made at advantage/disadvantage?

I've got a despair ability that stops those affected from being able to gain advantage to attacks, and was curious if there's any way to automate it easily.

[vast bane]

give the player advantage and disadvantage?

[manic tendon]

But they could still gain disadvantage

That would cancel both

[violet meadow]

The only thing that I can think of now is to check pre attack roll or pre damage roll whether the workflow has advantage and setting that to false

Pre item roll actually

[manic tendon]

Gotcha, so no easy way. In that case we'll just do it manually, thanks 🙂

[molten solar]

... what? O_o

[unique cape]

Is it possible to set up once per turn effect activation with DAE or similar prebuilt effects? Specifically, I am trying to make Rune Knight's Giant's Might 1d6 extra damage once per turn

I took this from a solution on this server, but it gives me the prompt every time I roll an attack, not once per turn

[vast bane]

I handle that with advantage reminder personally. if its a "can" ability aka player choice you kinda have to always prompt or turn off fast forward and rock advantage reminder.

[unique cape]

What is the advantage reminder?

Oh, I think I understand

Well, I talked with the player and considering we use fast forward, we will be stuck with prompt every time

At least it's only for when it's giant form

[dark canopy]

its client side, and cpu

[violet meadow]

If they have dice rolling, animation playing etc... it might add up 🤷
I am not sure when rollComplete is triggered.

But having said that, I don't see that myself so...

[vast bane]

I double checked Giants Might, it really does have to always prompt, its ONLY on their turn too btw, and its "They can" so thats player choice they choose when it happens.

[vast bane]

it was the delay on dsn

I was trying to fix my autofill not fillling in my local passwords and cleared "site settings" and it destroyed my foundry setup for GM view so I am still tackling random things clientside

another laggy clientside setting was precaching either tokenmagic or fxmaster I forget which it was, but it added a TON of load time. Once I turned that off loading in went back to v9 levels.

[violet meadow]

I have this done with an Optional Bonus flag in MidiQOL

[vast bane]

yeah thats what hes using, probably copied you

the irony of needing a prompt for fast forward

[unique cape]

I have one more question! Can I set a traits.size effect that is a relative value instead of having to pick a specific one? I want to set up Enlarge/Reduce spell so that it adds or deducts from the existing actor size value

Or I guess a better question would be is there an alternative to traits.size?

[molten solar]

Would need a macro.

[violet meadow]

You would need a macro

[unique cape]

Damn

[violet meadow]

Or DFreds CE that I think adds 1 to the size for the enlarge/reduce spell

[unique cape]

Oh, I'll check that out, I do have that module. Thanks!

[proper forge]

Is there a method to have regeneration automatically be stopped after taking fire damage, then return if it manages to avoid more fire?

I'm using overtime for the regen, but I'm puzzling over automating this - obviously not the hardest thing to do manually, but I've got a bunch of little regenerating jerks to throw at my party so every bit helps. 😛

[dark canopy]

simbul's creature aid should have the dnd5e helpers regeneration helpers features ported, and I assume that includes the function for an AE to block regen

[proper forge]

Is that only for v10? Unfortunately I'm stuck on v9 until LANCER updates its system. 😭

[violet meadow]

So is MidiQOL compatible with LANCER?

[unborn cosmos]

Hi can I ask for directions on where to start to set precision attack up for my fighter?

[proper forge]

No, but I don't really want to update Foundry with one of the game systems I play incompatible with the new version. :V

[violet meadow]

oh so you ask about dnd5e way to do it while using MidiQOL?

If so you could use the dnd5e helpers that badger mentioned

[proper forge]

Oh true!

[strong yew]

Hey @violet meadow

I'm trying to incorporate your crusher feat macro

Do I put the macro on the feat itself? ie: Crusher: Critical?

[violet meadow]

Yeah. Made a small edit in the description. Does it make more sense now?
https://github.com/thatlonelybugbear/FoundryMacros/blob/main/MidiQOL_related/Feats_5e/v10/Crusher.js

[strong yew]

Yeah thanks I think so

For the movement one though, how does that one work?

Just supposed to be able to click Crusher as a special action and it executes?

[late fractal]

I am working on updating a V10 version of this module (it is V9). I dont have a published module yet, but hopefully soon (I need at least something to move it from my local dev to my AWS hosted server)
https://github.com/jbowensii/More-Automated-Spells-Items-and-Feats

[strong yew]

Oh nevermind, it's built into the same macro! nice

[unborn cosmos]

oh it's not finished yet. I'll keep my eye out 👁️

[strong yew]

Oh wait, does it only move on critical?

[violet meadow]

Nope. You just put the created feature on the character sheet.

Then whenever you attack with a bludgeoning weapon, the Crusher ability will be activated by default

You shouldn't be rolling the Crusher feat you created at any point 😉

[strong yew]

Yeah it seems to work on criticals

I get the popup for moving the target and the advantage

but on regular hit, I don't get the prompt

[violet meadow]

That shouldn't be happening 🤔

[violet meadow]

Are you in combat?

[strong yew]

Nope, let me do that and try

[violet meadow]

No should be fine

I was just asking cause during combat you can activate it once per round

[strong yew]

My fault, so yeah it works in combat

but just not out of combat seems like

Oh wait no

you're right

So I had already activated it on the critical

which is why it didn't let me again

[violet meadow]

Does it not prompt everytime when out of combat? It should!

[strong yew]

No I'm messy in my testing

[violet meadow]

Any errors when you are out of combat?

[strong yew]

It was in combat, I didn't realize

One sec

Ok yeah it's working as expected sorry for the confusion

getting lost in the details

[violet meadow]

Good to know!

I will update it tomorrow to better behave when you move larger creatures and check for overlapping tokens

[strong yew]

Does anyone have any experience with Ancestral Protectors on Barb as well?

My barb player has a lot of on hit effects

It seems like there's a macro on it already that references Elwin

[violet meadow]

Are you on Foundry Gearheads discord?

[violet meadow]

v10 updated from Elwin. Check in the features channel here: https://discord.gg/C46HVApf

[vast bane]

the v9 version works in v10 fwiw lol

[violet meadow]

Unsurprisingly 😀

If anyone needs a v9 Crusher let me know

The v9 you have Moto has some things missing from it

[vast bane]

it moves the token once on their turn and does the crit thing, what else is left other than a few cupholders 8)

[violet meadow]

If you click on an invalid square, the macro stops and no move happens. The updated one will re trigger the warp gate crosshairs until it resolves with yes or no

And it will only move creatures up to one size category larger than the attacker

I am not sure if I have included it already 🤔😜

[vast bane]

k, if you wanna send ithere go ahead otherwise I'll google it a lil later today, gotta go brave the grocery store for turkey day now

[violet meadow]

Go to foundry macros, link to my repository if you click on my name

[violet meadow]

<#1010273821401555087 message>

[strong yew]

Anyone have an animate dead macro?

The one I got from the warpgate docs seems to have a syntax error

[vast bane]

I have danse macabre but fair warning, my table considers skeletons useless so they we prefer to just summon zombies

[strong yew]

I actually was just fiddling around with yours

But it just summons a zombie yet?

yeah*

[vast bane]

you could get a dialogue drop down for it in #macro-polo

[strong yew]

Oh? I searched the discord but didn't see one cocme up

[vast bane]

just ask them after sharing the macro

[strong yew]

Oh, thanks

[vast bane]

Say please ofcourse

[dark canopy]

if you provide the error message, it may be a simple fix, rather than completely dumping the script

[strong yew]

Just from F12 here? Reference error, item is not defined

I have an actor named Skeleton and actor named Zombie

[dark canopy]

the intro text describes this macro as not being directly midi compatible:

The following is an example of a simple implementation of Animate Dead (dnd5e). Intended for use via Item Macro (not Midi on-use, as written). When the spell is cast, the user will receive a series of dialogs allowing them to select between a Zombie (for summoning from a corpse) or a Skeleton (for summoning from a pile of bones).

you just need to replace these two lines, with whatever midi uses to get the spell level:

const level = await warpgate.dnd5e.rollItem(item);
const number = (level - 3)*2 + 1;

[strong yew]

Oh, I see

just the (item) part right?

the parameter there

[dark canopy]

no, replace those two lines with a midi equivalent that gets the spell level and computes how many are spawned

[strong yew]

Thanks, I'll look at that

[vast bane]

I'd help but I genuinely have no clue what that first line is doing so I can't try to find an example anywhere

[strong yew]

So, actually just ignored the part where it assesses the spell level since this is for a one shot

[vast bane]

general rule of thumb is what is likely needed is an arg

[strong yew]

Now I just need to figure out how to mutate the original token instead

So the targeted corpse just becomes the new token rather than spawning a new one independently

[vast bane]

if its a one shot don't even bother automating it >_<. prepare the actual adventure don't worry about the vtt

[dark canopy]

get spell level from midi, that is all

[strong yew]

I'm a glutton for cool effects

[vast bane]

your players will appreciate well written descriptions and dialogue more than the fancy two zombies that suddenly appear in the vtt map

[dark canopy]

sigh here is the replacement:

const level = args[0].spellLevel;
const number = (level - 3)*2 + 1;

[strong yew]

I appreciate it, was trying to find an example somewhere. Wasn't just trying to make you do it

[dark canopy]

nah, no worries, just thought it would be a known quantity in this thread -- i went looking through the other wiki examples for the syntax

[vast bane]

you can count the macro gurus for midi on one hand basically

[coarse mesa]

Zhell is slowly but surely becoming the sixth finger

[quartz dragon]

Is there any way to have an effect trigger automatically after landing a killing blow? For example, if you kill an enemy you get your proficiency bonus added to your attack roll on the next enemy you attack?

[scarlet gale]

Doable with an item macro.

Check if the target is getting it's health reduced to 0 then apply an effect that lasts one turn.

[gilded yacht]

@vast bane Here's a version of hunter's mark that works out if it can be cast without using a spell slot or not and if not just casts the spell without using the spell slot. It still requires the user to confirm concentration removal (which I need to think about a bit more), but otherwise seems to do what is needed. It keeps the concentration duration from the previous Hunter's Mark, but the mark effects have the standard 3600 duration, but will get removed when duration is removed. either through expiry or failed concentration save.

[coarse mesa]

Ingenious, thanks Tim. Using the one hotbar button for the spell makes a lot of sense. My next character is a ranger so very grateful

[quartz dragon]

Sorry to bother but I'm pretty new to all this. I saw that the Mace of Disruption in the Midi SRD has a HP threshold that triggers an effect but the effect happens regardless of HP. How would I check if the target's health is reduced to 0?

[strong yew]

Could you share the updated macro?

[coarse mesa]

I didn’t update it, I’m using it as-is. Someone else did though as they didn’t have the Patreon JB2A

[strong yew]

Yeah, I'm also in that boat

I meant moreso for the auto-fail friendly rather than the animation changes though

[coarse mesa]

Oh you literally add those three words anywhere in the spell description and midi picks that up

[strong yew]

Oh, I didn't realize it was that simple, thanks

[coarse mesa]

And btw if you do want those anims, you don’t need an ongoing Patreon sub, you can just do it for a month and it will download everything. You just won’t get any future updates

[strong yew]

Oh interesting

I may just sub cause they do great work

The vortex warp seems to still go off even if they succeed on the saving throw

I'll have to look at some other macros to see how they handle that logic

[coarse mesa]

Oh really lol. I only ever use it on allies

Pretty sure it can be wrapped in a single if statement, bugbear posted it here somewhere

Something like ```js
if(args[0].failedSaves) {
// macro goes here
}

On phone now sorry or I’d give it a try

[strong yew]

No worries appreciate the help

[topaz anchor]

Does anyone know how to turn off Damage Rolls Require Attack?

not sure why but sometimes it's preventing players from rolling damage after they attacked

and I think it's a midiqol thing?

aaand what's the setting that puts attack and damage on the same card?

[spice kraken]

what item/feature are you using that causes this issue?

also v9 or v10

Midi settings > workflow > Misc tab (as of v9, don't know if v10 swapped things around)

Middle ones specifically

[topaz anchor]

v10 🙂

thanks, i see that one. the big pain is the 'Damage roll requires attack' message that we get sometimes- not even sure what causes it

not sure it's midiqol, maybe it's core? donno
player clicks damage sometimes, and it doesnt pop up a roll button it says it requires attack roll first

got the 'merge rolls to one card', thank you

[spice kraken]

How are they rolling damage before an attack is made?

[vast bane]

Its funny, I have another similar idea, I'm kinda lovin your createitem feature. I have an idea for Scorching Ray and Magic Missile, where they are self/self buffs that give the caster a feature that is the magic missile/scorching ray and they just press that however many times instead of annoyingly casting them again and clicking out the spell slot consumption.

I'm also doing it with Aura of vitality, and I give the items charges and they destroy on empty.

[vast bane]

Ran my first v10 live session tonight.

1. Performance was better than I expected
2. The skill challenge macros I had in v9 are broken in v10, they are the ones @violet meadow setup where the players send the args to the DM and the macro is activated using execute as GM.
3. Flanking was acting strangely vs v9. It was more picky on the angle for flanking

This is the folder macro for the skill challenges:

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

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

results = await game.MonksTokenBar.requestContestedRoll({
    token:attacker,
    request: 'skill:ath'
},{
    token: target,
    request:'skill:ins'
},{
    silent:true, 
    fastForward:false,
    flavor: `${attacker.name} tries to get ${target.name}'s attention with a taunt.`, 
    callback: async () => {
        const attackerTotal = results.getFlag("monks-tokenbar", `token${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)) {
                await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({ effectName: `${attacker.name}`, uuid: target.actor.uuid});
                ui.notifications.info(`${attacker.name} successfully taunts ${target.name}`)
            }
        }
        else ui.notifications.info(`${target.name} resists the shove attempt from ${attacker.name}`)
    }
});

Here is the item macro for it:

game.macros.getName("TauntIntimidation").execute(args[0]);

[coarse mesa]

Took me a while but I was trying to decipher how this macro relates to skill challenges (a la 4E)... but it's contested skill checks. I might actually yoink this when it's working properly – for shove and grapple. BTW I see the final notification should say taunt not shove

[vast bane]

I don't think that notification actually works I just never bother changing it, never see it anyway

[violet meadow]

Oh yes it's been discussed here too. Passing all the args[0] in a call for another macro will trigger a nasty error. You need to ```js
delete args[0].workflow;
game.macros.getName("TauntIntimidation").execute(args[0]);

[violet meadow]

You probably mean the Mace of Disruption from the MidiQOL Sample Items compendium, not the MidiSRD.

The Effect should happen regardless of the enemy's HP. But when the enemy has less that 25HP, it should automatically destroy it by updating its HP to 0.

Does this not happen for you?

[violet meadow]

Can you not see any notification (maybe forgotten world script or something) or just this one?

[vague mural]

Hey bugbear 🙂 I have an issue with Scorching Ray, due MidiQOL the cards are "done" after damage is rolled and we cant roll more than once for scorching ray which he has to cast it twice or triple and give his spellpoint back any ideaS?

[violet meadow]

Do you auto-consume spell slots ?

Otherwise just recast it without expending the spell slot

[vague mural]

no better way to?

No they can choose if they wanna use spell slot or not

[violet meadow]

Yeah that is what I am doing. You could also just leave the Attack button on if you d like too 🤷

There are other ways but would need macros and I have judged against that for my table!

[violet meadow]

Midi Settings => Workflow settings => Player tab. Same for GM tab. You can keep the Attack/Damage buttons on the card if you'd like

[vague mural]

thats it yeah

thanks

[gilded yacht]

Have a look at hunter's mark for a way to decide if you want to skip the consumption dialog altogether,

[violet meadow]

I think that it has an issue the one you shared, with updateTarget and updateSource flags being the other way around or something

Hmm will double check in a bit. Was not working in the morning 🤔

[vast bane]

I use the Mace of Disruption, its not 0 hp, its 25 or lower and ONLY if its undead or fiend, anyone else the save is rolled, but it doesn't do anything. Its kinda an annoying weapon honestly but we live with it.

make sure the weapon has the "full damage save" checkbox so that regardless of the save the other damage rolls fully. The save is purely for if the target is undead/fiend, and 25 hp or lower, then if it fails, it outright dies, otherwise it is just "frightened". Come to think of it, the weapon doesn't do this....hmmmm

Yeah mace is all sorts of wrong I only care about it for the bonus damage, never bothered to worry about the rest

I had the v9 mace, the v10 mace is setup right use that one @quartz dragon

[violet meadow]

Probably it needs the saving throw logic to be moved to the macro and not to have a saving throw by default, but only trigger it if the target is of the needed type

[vast bane]

I dunno why the v9 failed but I'm in v10, everything fixed when I pulled out the v10 hehe

its really weird, it applies the effect if they succeed regardless of save

[molten token]

anywhere i can get midiCustom sounds? 🙂

[vast bane]

I just use the basic sound effects midi supplies, I turn off crit/fail for midi cause DSN handles those

[violet meadow]

the v10 one?

[vast bane]

the mace of disruption, has a weird setup where if it succeeds, and is undead, the effect just happens.(period). If they fail, and if they are below 25 hp, they die. So weird setup but v10 mace does that, its perfectly setup, the v9 mace however was not.

so in its case save actually causes the effect on success, and its something worse if they fail

[sudden crane]

Instead of hardcoding the x2 for critical damage, you could use a DamageRoll to compute the proper config settings, e.g.:

// Use same roll options as the one from the damageRoll
const dmgOptions = args[0].damageRoll?.options ? duplicate(args[0].damageRoll.options) : {};
dmgOptions.critical = args[0].isCritical;
delete dmgOptions.configured;
delete dmgOptions.flavor;
// Construct a DamageRoll to compute critical damage using the appropriate defined method and use the resulting formula
const damageBonusResult = new CONFIG.Dice.DamageRoll("@scale.rogue.sneak-attack", args[0].rollData, dmgOptions);

[vague mural]

so if I use Midi SRD I do not need Dynamic Effects SRD since everything is in midi SRD?

[vast bane]

DAE SRD has so many wrongly setup items as well so you really should use midi srd which has all of them in it anyway, but both modules are not v10 compliant officially. The fork of midi srd is being worked on by bugbear slowly but surely if you spot anything that needs a fix report it to him here. DAE has been defunct since very early v9

[vague mural]

so I do not need DAE after all?

[violet meadow]

OK now I see what's up. This js if (args[0].macroPass === "damageBonus") needs to be changed to ```js
if (args[0].macroPass === "DamageBonus")

[vague mural]

Since I use convenient effects and midi sql?

[vast bane]

DAE SRD, you definitely need dynamic effects using active effects

of the two SRD modules, DAE SRD is no longer needed and will only give you problems and I'm not sure they even install properly in v10 anyway, you need bugbears fork of midi srd if you are in v10

[violet meadow]

There are these 4 modules.
MidiQOL and DAE which are needed

Midi-SRD and DAE-SRD which are add-on modules by Kandashi that expand the SRD Items, by providing automation options using MidiQOL ecosystem.

DAE SRD by now its pretty much not needed

[vague mural]

I migrated like 1 month ago to v10 and had tons of error messages and a lot fo modules are gone

[vast bane]

@violet meadow most of midi srd's items call stuff in midi srd's files instead of writing out the macros in the items. Does this mean we don't need to do anything with any existing already dragged out items and can just utilize your changes in midi srds files?

for example

[violet meadow]

Aye. That's the beauty of MidiSRD's way to provide the macro's functionality.

[vast bane]

do you want us to report any of the yellow errors when we spot them with the spells?

[violet meadow]

I imagine that, at least most of them, are not due to MidiSRD, which essentially just uses other modules to do what's needed.
I don't know what the future of Midi SRD will be anyways.

Log some issues in my fork or send me DMs with warnings and I can take a look

[violet meadow]

Do you mean gone as You deleted them or just cannot be found in the world as active.

If its the latter, the module folders are still in your local data and that will trigger errors or warnings

[vast bane]

@vague mural If you need Midi SRD to show back up in your active modules in V10, here is the manual install link:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thatlonelybugbear/midi-srd/master/module.json

Another cool usecase for macro.createitem:

I gave a player claws that are magical. They allow them to roll a d6 for unarmed strikes and the claws are 2 light weapons but require attunement. Before createitem, it would cost 2 attunement slots or you'd have to have the second strike not. With createitem, you can have the second offhand strike version equp via the createitem feature.

[vague mural]

ooooh wait now I remember

I can not install Midi SRD

I always get a error message with ti with something about metadata and midisrd-styles.css

[vast bane]

manually instal the link I pinged you with, its the v10 fix for that problem. has to be pastd into the manual manifest field at the bottom of the add ons menu

[vague mural]

So I use Dynamic effects using Active Effects which is V.10.286 and Dynamic Active Effects SRD which is v. 0.8.6

I also use DFreds Convenient Effects, Automated Animations, Active Auras, JB2A, LMRTFY, Midi QOL, Midi SR, Sequencer and Token Magic FX for everything combat orientated anything else I should get rit off like DAE SRD?

and DAE SRD has DAE as dependencies, do I have to delete DAE as well then?

[violet meadow]

Nope. DAE needs to stay on.

[vague mural]

do I get issues now due disabling DAE SRD instead of Midi SRD?

[vast bane]

show us the issue by screenshotting it?

its probably not able to be uninstalled is my guess cause its so incompatible/old

[violet meadow]

Close Foundry. Go into your Foundry userData and locate the modules folder. Delete manually the dae-srd folder

[vague mural]

Manually installing was fine, I was just not able to install with the normal ingame froudnry module list

Got 36 Modules now, anythign I should also get for Midi QOL? I believe I got everything I need but I am always open for more.

[vast bane]

learn the ones you have, then if you still need something solved with a module ask around and someone can suggest a module, I would not treat modules like a shopping list, you fill a need with them.

[vague mural]

The only need I have is fixing performance issues with Argon HUD but ripper already said he dunno

[vast bane]

disable tooltips setting improved it for us but we abandoned that module because it had artifacting on a few players (non chrome)browsers and it lacked support for some modules that made it pointless to use it(Items with spells and magic items module). We now use Token Action Hud instead.

[vague mural]

Well I liked the Idea of that HUD

[vast bane]

TAH is a similar concept without all the fancy icons, its a purpose driven module

[strong yew]

How is the new Hunter's Mark supposed to work when switching targets? Prompt for ending concentration > press yes > automatically doesn't consume spell slot?

[violet meadow]

I always found Argon a bit too intrusive. I have been using Token Action HUD (more for players) and illandril's Quick Token actions (more for NPCs) instead

[vague mural]

I will check illandrils quick token actions I dunno them

[vast bane]

My players recently started using Tidy5e sheet and are actually mostly using their sheets, the favorites on the front tab is a huge hit with them

[vague mural]

I am using the Tidy5e Sheet after abbandoning the DnD5e Sheet but I have also some new players which are overwhelmed

[vast bane]

that is probably a byproduct of automation in general, you should ease your players into the changes. I personally had a session zero and they all chose what they wanted for modules after fiddling wth stuff and they all vote for any new changes to our sessions.

[dark canopy]

dont forget that each actor can use a different sheet, so having a couple sheets to try out and pick from could be helpful -- our group is about 50/50 tidy/core

[violet meadow]

Right clicking on the token will open its Actions. I find it really helpful for NPCs. Much faster than going up to where the Token HUD usually rests

[vague mural]

Well the Player certainly are not overwhlemed by the modules but the sheet and DnD. 3 of my Players are still newbies and especially the Description of the Stats and Actions from Argon HUD are helpful from them. (when do I roll XY, what is deception again or intimidating ...)

[vague mural]

Only Token Quick Actions or more? There are a couple of things tho

[vast bane]

dfreds CE message setting set to player may be helpful/informative for new players also

[violet meadow]

Do you mean other modules from illandril?

[vague mural]

To this message is the Quick Actions the only Illandrils module you use or are there more? I noticed there are some outdated

[vague mural]

CE message?

[violet meadow]

I do use illadnril's Token tooltips and invertory sorter too. No need for the rest of theirs for my setup 🤷

[vast bane]

the very top setting in dfred's convenient effects module settings if set to PLAYER will display the descriptions of active effects applied via dfreds CE. :

however, beware that dfreds CE spoils creature names.

[vague mural]

ah yeah that

[unique cape]

Can I make Roll Other deal different damage to different creature types? I have a weapon that deals extra 1d10 to plants and 1d4 to undead

Setting one up is easy enough but I can't find a way for it to recognise them separately

[violet meadow]

This is doable only with a macro onUse

[topaz anchor]

theyre not! they roll to attack and then the system doesnt think they did?

[violet meadow]

I have never seen that one before!

[spice kraken]

Same. Were those items imported from dnd beyond, your own creation, a module, or one of the srd compendium?

[coarse mesa]

Maybe more than one rolling module installed?

[narrow saddle]

What specifically is broken in Midi when you update Advanced Macros to 1.19?

I have been playing about and I haven't come across any problems yet.

[coarse mesa]

They've just released a patch to AM, it might be fixed now

@vast bane I'm sure this will be missed:

[strong yew]

Is this currently supported? I was messing around with trying it but am I misunderstanding this in the midi wiki

[modern badger]

Is it even possible to automate Mirror Image with MidiQol?

[topaz anchor]

dndb import, I want to say?

what are other common rolling modules that might be fudging with it? Once you have 100+ modules it becomes difficult to suss out the problem player

i dont have CUB or better rolls

[spice kraken]

MRE, BR, RSR?

Let me just get my meme

[topaz anchor]

[spice kraken]

I haven't been as active lately so idk if there are any others that I need to add

[topaz anchor]

as soon as i decipher this, itll probably be very useful!

so DONT use midi with anything else here, im on v10, so rg+rsr are ok together

hmm what's rg and rsr, ill google it up

[spice kraken]

pretty much

roll groups
ready set roll

[molten solar]

No

Roll Groups is not compatible with Ready Set Roll.

[topaz anchor]

well (un?)fortunately I only have midiqol of those

[molten solar]

Unfortunate indeed. 🙂

[topaz anchor]

so maybe it's not midiqol? someone suggested it dang. it IS annoying though 😛

[coarse mesa]

If you strip down to just midi and its dependencies and things start working, you might want to try Find the Culprit

[molten solar]

Well it sure isn't RG cus RG has no bugs. 👌

[spice kraken]

Try with SRD items instead and run a test combat to replicate the bug

[topaz anchor]

I'll need to wait until it happens again so that I can see what item(s) it's happening with - or yeah, try to replicate it

it's been inconsistent, but i have 4 games so it's hard to remember who and when it happens

I appreciate the help 🙂

[strong yew]

Has anyone gotten the new Hunter's Mark macro that was posted to work for changing targets?

[vast bane]

its strange because your problem is directly related to not using midi to roll the attack. Do you have a bad importer and is the user using the buttons that show up in the description of the item that was from said importer? in order for midi to attack, you must roll the weapon/feature/action the way everyone normally rolls, mousing over the icon to the left of the name in the character sheet and clicking the dice that shows up. Any other method is likely the culprit in your situation.

An example of bad importer misleading buttons in descriptions

[coarse mesa]

just to be clear > you can roll midi attacks using hotbar buttons, Token Action HUD, combat booster etc

[vast bane]

in their case, I'd be very concerned with the outlier positive cases where its possible

My guess is abnormal user error in the attack, maybe they don't have require target on but have auto damage apply on, so when they attack, theres no check, and theres no need for a target, and then when they go to deal damage, they select a target or something weird like that

or they are trying to apply damage to a new target after having the wrong guy targeted

happens all the time when you throw 30 kobolds at players hehe

[coarse mesa]

this is highly likely

[vast bane]

or maybe a bad cleave macro is in play

that reminds me, wheres my cleave macro @violet meadow 0_0

[violet meadow]

Hmm cleave! The remaining damage carries to adjuncent targets?

I think I had made something for that

I just had a session and I am out now for beers... 😁 So I will need to get back to you some time soon

[vast bane]

yeah it checks the other adjacent targets ac before applying the damage though also

cheers for happy hour!

[topaz anchor]

I believe theyre rolling from inventory

but im not doing automated stuff with figuring attack roll vs AC

I'm going to let my players know that we're keeping an eye out for when it comes up- usually when I'm running I'm too busy trying to keep the game going to stop and remember to notate when and what happened

If I knew how to replicate it I could toy with it! So til then

[vast bane]

yeah thats probably my first example then, they are late targeting with no target required settings

the players overzealously firing their attack and targetting when they realize they hit

[sudden crane]

It is not totally midi related, it is also core and dnd5e related. It used to work in my sneak attack, the code that I posted was from sneak attack, you would need to adjust the formula for you need, for Hunter’s Mark you would need to use "1d6" for the DamageRoll formula instead

[vast bane]

theres also like 10 modules that manipulate targetting, like "remember targets", "clear targets at end of turn", "untarget after attack". Shit like this confuses the hell out of players, find all the offending modules and turn that stuff off.

[topaz anchor]

some of my players don't even use targeting, since we dont do autocalculate stuff

I LIKE targeting since I have animations etc 😄

[vast bane]

you probably have a wonky configuration for midi then since you are using it in a niche method if you are not using any automation

Is "enhanced damage dialogue" on?

[strong yew]

Oh, is the sneak attack string there just the formula it passes? I thought the damagebonus could only take a string for damageroll and a string for flavor

[peak helm]

I keep getting an error, cannot read center when using templates, latest version of midi and am 1.18

[topaz anchor]

whoah, nope

is that a multiattack option?

[vast bane]

it is the main coolest method that midi has for managing damage application, it can be set to manual and automatic and also set for players and dm npcs.

[topaz anchor]

!

where does one harness this power

[vast bane]

if there are 2 things midi is known for most, its automated damage management and effect transferral. Not using one of these two would probably mean you have an odd combination of settings fyi, not bad, but likely the cuprit for your situation(though the more obvious culprit is having Ready set Roll or Roll Groups, or Fast Rolls installed

[peak helm]

I only get the error when using templates though.

[vast bane]

try with just midi running

my guess would be tokenmagic fx or df templates are having a conflict or some other module

[peak helm]

I don't have either installed :p

[topaz anchor]

nah i dont have any of those others
so probably just a weird setup

I just went to quick settings and changed it to No Automation- or I could try Full Automation

haha what would you recommend I try

since i've messed up my setting clearly

[peak helm]

I'll try just midi tomorrow, just trying to iron out some gremlins in v10

[topaz anchor]

So many options! I just originally I was trying to take it step by step

so as not to hit something that I didn't know how it worked, or how it's fixed

[vast bane]

the fast settings buttons are for beginners, you ultimately want to tweak all the settings to your preferred apearance/setup, heres my damage setup, its full automation, likely not what you want, the first drop down is whether you want it fully auto or manual.

[topaz anchor]

but probably caused my own issues it's been so intermittent though that I keep forgetting to check how to fix it

[vast bane]

I genuinely think its just your players are lazy with targetting, you can probably stop that problem by requiring targets in combat

[topaz anchor]

yeaaah might as well

[vast bane]

at the top of the workflow tab

[topaz anchor]

BTW you friggin' rock

helping my out with all this, thank you

[vast bane]

I am but a humble servant to the Church of Midiqol

[topaz anchor]

ha

is 'use df template enhancements' from dfreds convenient effects?

i have that as well

[vast bane]

df template enhancements is from "Df template enhancements" hehe

[topaz anchor]

lol

[vast bane]

dfreds CE is utilized in the next section down below that snippet fwiw

I recently started using auto for dm saves and has anyone else noticed that Auto is always whispered in v10? I think I'm ok with it, but this is new behavior and I don't see a setting for it? It shows it in the workflow too so the players still see the roll result, but the actual roll is always whispered.

[peak helm]

I'll have to check my settings tomorrow

[topaz anchor]

OK so when I fully automate to-hit rolls, where's the opportunity to enter advantage, disadvantage, and modifiers to rolls?

[sudden crane]

The result of this evaluated formula is returned with the flavor. We use the DamageRoll to update the formula for critical

return {damageRoll: damageBonusResult.formula, flavor: effectName};

[topaz anchor]

with fully automated, when I click the weapon it rolls attack and damage

so I'm sure there's some way to say 'i should have -1 to this and/or disadvantage' but not sure where

[strong yew]

So with this change, would I just be doing return damageBonusResult; ?

Oh, well it looks like you edited your response so forgive me for the redundancy

[sudden crane]

I just updated my previous reply

[strong yew]

Ah ok, so basically you're modifying it with the logic before but then sending back the strings

[vast bane]

I do not recommend the fast settings unless you are brand spankin new, if you want those popouts you need to turn off fast forward for DM and players in the first two tabs of workflow

[strong yew]

that makes sense

[topaz anchor]

yeah i kind of like the pop-ups

s othat's what the Fast-Forward does

[vast bane]

me too, cause I use the module Advantage reminder:

[topaz anchor]

❗

'auto roll damage' ?

[topaz anchor]

oh apologies, i meant "what is auto roll damage"

I found those auto fast forward settings 🙂

[vast bane]

I have that set to when needed

[topaz anchor]

also is there maybe a doc for this so I can just check that rather than use you as a living doc lol

[vast bane]

theres basically 3 automated steps there, auto click the button in chat, which is auto roll attack/damage when needed, then theres fast forward which tries to guess as best it can what the popouts would use, and then finally theres remove the buttons which I never remove incase of automation failure we can run it manually.

[topaz anchor]

I love the help I just hate asking so much!

gotcha

[vast bane]

My setup is abnormal, but typical for an advantage reminder module user who also uses midi

[strong yew]

Ah, the damage part works now

So since I have max crit set in midi I guess that rolls as 1d6min6, but since it's passed in as a string to the damage bonus, I don't think I can get the dice in DSN to match the number rolled like it does with the initial roll

[sudden crane]

@strong yew
It should because, I think that midi calls DSN for each of the roll result from the returned damage bonus macro data. I will check the code
Yep, just verified and midi sends the bonus damage rolls to DSN

[strong yew]

lowered the crit threshold just to try, rolled as a 4 and 2

2 should've been a 6 looks like

Initial roll has one of the dice show as max, but when it's the bonus damage it doesn't seem to

Formula looks the same for the initial roll compared to the bonus damage

[sudden crane]

That would need to be investigated… If it’s DSN or midi the problem…

[strong yew]

Yeah refreshed and checked a few more times, not working specifically only for the damagebonus

[strong yew]

did you test the swapping when you were messing with it?

[violet meadow]

Hmm nope. Just tested it to make extra damage work

[strong yew]

Gotcha. I was running through the logic and trying to find what's not working on it, but I didn't find anything odd

Still rather new to this though, so definite possibility I'm missing something

[violet meadow]

I cannot read the whole chat so what’s up? Point me to the start of the conversation if it’s been going on for long

[strong yew]

Just kind of going through the objects in debug to get a sense to how everything is built

Oh, just the swapping targets while concentrating

Everything else is working, was just curious if you had messed with that when you were looking at it before

[violet meadow]

That’s something for the morning bugbear to investigate 😅

[marsh crescent]

future bugbear

[stoic seal]

Would it possible for someone to automate this?

[vast bane]

Morning Bugbear:

[coarse mesa]

Bugbear and Moto? What a dream team

[violet meadow]

Yes. Easiest way, create an item as you want it on the sidebar. Create a DAE macro.createItem to create that item in the inventory of the caster when the spell is used.
Give the extra damage as an activation conditio.

For ninth level slot, well who would use that as their ninth lvl! 😝

[stoic seal]

I don’t know where to start on this lol I have no experience with advance stuff like this

[violet meadow]

First create an item to match the weapon’s description on the sidebar

[stoic seal]

So a feature or a weapon?

[violet meadow]

Martial, heavy, reach etc as a weapon

[stoic seal]

K

[violet meadow]

Then on the spell create a DAE with an effect of macro.createItem | Custom | and drag and drop the created item on the value field.

It will copy paste automatically the item’s uuid

[stoic seal]

Oh

Then it’ll manifest in the caster’s inventory

[vast bane]

I actually created a compendium for my macro.createitem stuff

[violet meadow]

Or the targets

[stoic seal]

I wish there was videos for these sort of things.

[stoic seal]

Can this be done for any feature like this spell?

[vast bane]

macro.createitem is one of the simplest features dae has honestly, you just drag and drop the item to the effect value

[violet meadow]

Pretty much

[stoic seal]

Nice!

[vast bane]

I hope he takes a look at my issues I reported for it, I'd love multi uuid support for it

[violet meadow]

You can also make it permanent if the case ever arises

[stoic seal]

Permanent?

[vast bane]

We need him to fix the attunement issue I posted about then we can start doing Unidentified Items with macro.createitem

[violet meadow]

Now if you want you can create it more precisely with a macro, but do you need that much trouble? Quite slow typing in the tablet…

Do you have the permanent snippet Moto?

[vast bane]

make an item that is a basic Unidentified item with no characteristics but has a apply on attune active effect that permenantly adds the actual magic item, but right now theres a bug with createitem where inactive/unavailable active effects when toggld on via createitem do not properly add the item

[stoic seal]

Lol but I don’t need permanent. Just wasn’t informed it could be permanent

[violet meadow]

Noooo

[vast bane]

we can't use it right now, theres a bug with attuning macro.creates

[violet meadow]

It can be but won’t in your case

Just mentioning some extra functionality

[vast bane]

the only use case I can think of for permenant is unidentified items

[violet meadow]

When the spell drops it will be deleted automatically

[stoic seal]

Thanks!

[vast bane]

https://gitlab.com/tposney/dae/-/issues/351

once that attunement issue is solved, that will be a really dope way to handle unidentified magic items

[violet meadow]

The error with the data seems to be a monks tokenbar related one

[vast bane]

just cause of how simple the template will be, you can just have a generic "Unidentified Magic Item" that you drag the new magic item into the effect value and drop it in your game

OH I think I got it!!!!

its the MTB ac value

[violet meadow]

So when someone becomes attuned you the new item is created

[violet meadow]

Click on the token bar line of the error. What does it point too? Actual code?

[vast bane]

so it must be an issue with the shield adding 2 ac here, but I don't see a way to fix the data entry in here:

however, I might need to update, I just saw he dropped a bunch of versions on sunday

[violet meadow]

Yeah just found it too in the GitHub

This is triggered when the active effect is updated

[vast bane]

I have it as a dfreds CE:

[violet meadow]

Can you paste the whole block of code where that line is in?

I think you just need to add a data in the first line in the variables in the hook call

[vast bane]

        Hooks.on("updateActiveEffect", (effect) => {
            if (((game.user.isGM || setting("allow-player")) && !setting("disable-tokenbar"))) {
                let actor = effect.parent;
                if (actor instanceof Actor) {
                    let tkn = this.tokens.find(t => t.token.actor.id == actor.id);
                    if (tkn != undefined) {
                        this.updateToken(tkn)
                    } else if (data.ownership != undefined) {
                        this.refresh();
                    }
                }
            }
        });

I'm on v10

[violet meadow]

Like after the effect add a ,data in the parenthesis

[vast bane]

should I report it to MTB?

[violet meadow]

That’s what it reminded me off. I had seen that one before! #modules message

[vast bane]

I should probably jump out and update maybe he has a fix in the newest

[violet meadow]

Yeah try that

[vast bane]

nah no new version yet of mtb

he thumbs upped your post so he should be aware of it I imagine

I'm gonna edit it out of the issue then if its unrelated to dae

[violet meadow]

Yeah, doesn’t seem related

[vast bane]

I'm currently running Midi 10.0.19 just cause of a few issues outstanding in 20, 21, and the newest. I don't see any fixes to them yet, could they have been silently patched into them or are we all just using 19 till a new version comes out?

[scarlet gale]

What's wrong with the current version?

[vast bane]

the saves for overtime I believe

its an elwin post sometime yesterday I believe

[scarlet gale]

Oh interesting

[vast bane]

I can't find their mentions here I must have his name wrong

[coarse mesa]

Elwin did find the latest bug but it was fixed in .23 unless I missed something. There were suggestions on the Hunter's Mark but that's it?

[vast bane]

wrong message link:
#1010273821401555087 message

[coarse mesa]

#1010273821401555087 message

[vast bane]

ok, I never saw a package release for 23 lol so I was waiting for that

yeah I don't see 23 available yet

[strong yew]

If I'm trying to scale something on character level, what do I put in the formula

[coarse mesa]

yeah me neither

[strong yew]

Trying to do the death cleric channel divinity

which is 5 + 2x Cleric level

[vast bane]

oh I did this already

let me pull that up for ya lol

[strong yew]

Oh dope, thank you

[vast bane]

oh wait, mines an advantage reminder document link

[strong yew]

Don't suppose you know if the reaper effect works?

The 2nd target on a necromancy cantrip one
?

[vast bane]

remove the numerical value of targets on necromancy cantrips

basically toll the dead....

or set it to 2

[strong yew]

easy enough

[vast bane]

I then made a macro to roll this item, and put that macro in an advantage reminder

[strong yew]

Ah ok, simple syntax

[vast bane]

the cleric also had divine strikes so I just attached it to the divine strikes advantage reminder:

[strong yew]

I bet I could probably modify the sneak attack macro to get it to prompt like that when the condition is met

[vast bane]

I'm pretty sure if you want tis automated it has to be those macroname keys

and it will always prompt

I don't fast forward so advantage reminder was a simpler setup

nah you'd have to use those always prompt keys

because its a player choice effect

similar to how they would setup smite

[strong yew]

Yeah I'll have to mess around with it

Was trying to finally learn Foundry while setting up a one shot

Now am transferring over all this to my main campaign I DM so I have to get all their stuff set up

[vast bane]

you could also...just roll the item after the attack finishes

feature*

[strong yew]

Yeah that's my plan for irght now

Next session is Wednesday so gotta get the most used stuff first

[violet meadow]

Just made a fully functional Call Lightning spell, with the DAE macro.createItem and an EM to update damage to correct castLevel.
Need one small dialog to prompt for an extra damage addition depending on whether there is a storm or not in the area!

[strong yew]

That sounds amazing

[vast bane]

yep that was my idea for that spell

[violet meadow]

Actually I will be creating all of these spells that way.

[vast bane]

I'll take it if you got it already

[violet meadow]

Hmm the problem when sharing them, is the sidebar item. Where to store it.

Hmm probably as an ItemMacro and a preItemRoll onUse checking if it exists

[vast bane]

Thats why I think if you do a midi srd like module, make a "create items" compendium

but also I could just drag out the imported item after I stow it in a compendium into your ae

[violet meadow]

Give me a sec to try something

[strong yew]

hmm. Going to make these if not, but does anyone have stuff made for Shocking Grasp or Mind Sliver?

Surprised there's not some already I can find

Seems pretty straightforward at least

[vast bane]

what do you need to automate with shocking grasp?

[scarlet gale]

I have mine automatically mark the hit person as having used their reaction.

[vast bane]

its almost always me that has to manage it so I always just activate that condition manually lol

thats a good idea though

macro.ce | custom | Reaction

I don't think checking for armor is gonna be simple, I always just answer that case by case

[scarlet gale]

I've considered having it check if they're wearing metal armor. But I've found a lot of creatures don't really specify what kind of armor they're wearing.

[vast bane]

maybe a pre-item roll item macro that applies an advantage reminder to the roll that prompts them but my wizard always remembers to ask, infact they typically always use that cantrip purely for that purpose

[scarlet gale]

I always have to just rule it when it comes up

Yea, same for my characters

[vast bane]

mind sliver is easily made btw, but my players don't use it

[strong yew]

Yeah I just planned on having a mark so I remember

When there's a lot of stuff going on it makes it easier

[vast bane]

my only suggestion for mindsliver is to make sure the setting for show inline rolls is on in DAE's module settings

[strong yew]

But marking as having used it seems good

[vast bane]

if you have midi+dfreds CE, the status marker already exists in dfreds CE

[strong yew]

Does it? I made custom stuff in CE already

[vast bane]

you just have to make the ae do macro.ce | autosets | and pick reaction from drop down

[strong yew]

Like pulled down the code and put new stuff in there lol

ah

[vast bane]

reaction exists in other I believe

midi uses it for reaction management already

[scarlet gale]

I think it's a setting in midi, but it can

[vast bane]

when you pop macro.ce into dae, it will give you the drop down for a bunch of stuff

the key for -1d4 for mind sliver is probably autocompletable with ability.save.all

if you do not have dae inline rolls setting turned on, the mindsliver will look like a flat modifier and not show its work, its also clientside

[violet meadow]

You can give advantage to attack depending on target's armor too for Shocking grasp

[vast bane]

I think the problem is each individual dm's method of making monsters

not everyone is that specific, I personally do alot of flat ac's

[violet meadow]

too much trouble I agree

[scarlet gale]

Yea, flat AC happens just far too often

[vast bane]

just for monsters cause its just faster

[violet meadow]

Ah the MidiQOL doesn't have a socket for Item Create (totally "offtopic" 😄 )

[vast bane]

I get the feeling he's got some dope stuff in the hopper for createitem

cause we saw no dae patch alongside the latest midi hehe

but I'm totally theorycrafting

[vast bane]

I take it item import/export doesn't preserve UUID's?

[violet meadow]

That's for a different issue. I haven't tested the export/import yet

But it will mess the Item.id so ... not doable like that.

If you go to these lengths you probably are better off by just creating the item manually and not via DAE macro.createItem

[vast bane]

I think whatever the succession of midi srd is going to be, should probably employ a createitem compendium

send me the bits and I'll just manually drag the imported featre into it

to relink it right

[scarlet gale]

I feel like it's just easier to use warpgate at that point. It can effectively do the same thing plus you can embed the created item info in the macro to avoid id issues.

[violet meadow]

Yeah it seems better at this point for such lengths

[vast bane]

if you send the two items, its not that difficult to redrag Item A into effect value b

[violet meadow]

Exporting the items now

[vast bane]

till tposney comes up with some sort of better method

[scarlet gale]

My call lightning spell does that, also makes it easier to handle spell scaling

Since you don't need to edit the item after creating it. You just edit it during the creation

[violet meadow]

Actually you need only this one. It should create the item in the sidebar and then you just need to relink it in the DAE

[vast bane]

pretty sure the midi srd one is a warpgate isn't it?

[violet meadow]

not entirely

I think Kandashi just creates the item manually

don't remember now

[scarlet gale]

I remember not liking the SRD one and wound up making my own. I still need to update it for v10.

[vast bane]

yeah the flamesword he does that way cause its permenant. warpgate is better cause you can end it

[violet meadow]

There was an issue with that. The ItemArray to delete was not correctly called, but I should have fixed that in the v10 one at least

[vast bane]

I haven't gotten to use it yet in v10

[violet meadow]

@vast bane lol I found a way to make sure that the call lightning will create the correct item and auto link it.
Will test and share tomorrow. Too late now 👋

[scarlet gale]

Guessing it's something along the lines of game.items.getName and editing the effect before it's applied.

[violet meadow]

Yeah but you need to make at least sure that players can create items in the World, in case that it's a player who uses that import for the first time on the server.

As I said no reason to do it this way instead of creating the item from scratch on the actor every time the spell is being used.

Just that it can be used like that 🤷 😅

[celest bluff]

hmmm fun times when Levels breaks midi functions with templates

was writing a delayed blast feature and was wondering why it couldn't grab targets from the template

[violet meadow]

Oof, I don't use Levels! Too much trouble to set up imho, but it surely helps to create some amazing stuff! I guess just not for me 🤷

[scarlet gale]

Just finished making a darkness automation that technically uses template macros. Only for it's tokens in template API.

Uses a worldscript to modify midi workflows

And can autoattach itself to the token with token attacher.

There's probably a few edge cases I still need to look at for weird class features.

[violet meadow]

You could probably test the attacker for detectionModes and cancel the disadvantage accordingly

nvm

[scarlet gale]

Probably a good idea. This started as a port from my v9 macro. But swapping out using template auras with just checking the template the token is in.

[violet meadow]

Yeah I am on my phone, saw that you use the senses to figure out who can see

But probably you can streamline it with detection Modes

[scarlet gale]

Yea, I need to look into that better.

[dull sinew]

Guys, it's possible to create a AE with MIDIQOL to change my height type?
Like, from medium to huge, for exemple.

[vast bane]

I think theres a bug in v10 ATE atm for that idea, atleast thats what I saw with enlarge/reduce in my live sessio on sunday, its on my todo list to investigate

hmmm it works with dfreds CE so it should be possible heres the keys:

[dull sinew]

Yeah, it change, but the token are still medium size

[vast bane]

what version of foundry are you on

[dull sinew]

v10

[vast bane]

do you have active token effects installed

also referred to as ATL sometimes

[dull sinew]

oh

I'm a idiot

I don't configure the ATL fields

[vast bane]

Not sure why ATL's keys are not registering in dae like my image shows, I don't think width/height changed in v10

[dull sinew]

Well... the ATL don't show the width/height options with me

but works!

[wind fossil]

It’s a pro move. Just copy motos settings

[dull sinew]

thanks!

[vast bane]

dae and ATL are made by different authors so it takes a lil time for the keys to update in dae so they auto complete. I thought the token size keys were the same but I guess I'm wrong

dae hasn't patched since active token effects got updated for v10

[vast bane]

@rotund bronze My first thought is to suggest not removing the dialog and having it always prompt for resource usage, but lets start with the basics.

What versions of:
Foundry build
Dnd5e
midiqol

there are modules that interfere with midi as well, make sure you do not have "Ready Set Roll" or "Roll Groups" or Fast Rolls installed.

[rotund bronze]

oh wow! that was qucik thank you!

So, right now I'm working around the issue just as you suggested, but i wanted to try and see if it was just me not understanding the settings correctly.

Anyway, I think I'm on the latest version of everything:
Foundry - v10 build 290
Midi Qol - 10.0.22
5e system - 2.0.3
I have none of the problematic modules you referenced installed
Thank you very much!

[vast bane]

I do not kinow where you got your information, but the key you hold down to select resources is T now, not ctrl+alt

F would also do it

the alt+ctrl buttons are listed but atleast in my config they are conflicted so likely won't work

[rotund bronze]

actually i read that information on the system itself. it is written under the autoconsume option in the Midi Qol settings, both in the GM and in the players section. If u give a moment

i can provide a screenshot i think

[rotund bronze]

this is the same for me too

[vast bane]

so use T or F instead

they are the same for a fast forward player

[rotund bronze]

I tried, but it didn't work. If i do that, nothing happens at all

[spark fossil]

Hey, anyone know any smarter way of dealing with bugbears long-limbed, which grants an extra 5ft range to melee attacks?

[rotund bronze]

here's a screenshot of the setting i was referincing. Sorry, I know this is a very minor issue

[vast bane]

if you have find the culprit installed, turn off all but midi, socketlib, and libwrapper and reattempt

you have a module conflict

[rotund bronze]

I tried this, but nothing, its the same even with just those three modules active

[sudden crane]

Not all token properties are exposed in DAE, but any property from a token should be accessible with ATL

[vast bane]

I'm jumpin out to update to 22 to make sure but if its not broken, then its user error at this point

do you have a nonstandard keyboard?

actually, what does it say in the same spot in keybindings, is T available?

HOW are you activating the item?

[rotund bronze]

stantard qwerty (EU)

[vast bane]

in configure keys, is F bound for toggling fast forward, and is T bound for toggle?

and to be clear, you do not press both, you press one or the other

[rotund bronze]

my keybindings are set exactly as the ones you posted befoer actually, I never changed the default settings

[rotund bronze]

By clicking on a spell in the spellbook section of the character sheet of a player or npc

[rotund bronze]

yes they are

[rotund bronze]

indeed

[vast bane]

Ive tested on your version and t or f will toggle the resource window

[rotund bronze]

Ok so it has to be something I'm doing wrong I guess

[vast bane]

reinstall midiqol

you could also...turn off auto consume

and if it still isn't working then you gotta have another roller running

OH I keep forgetting this, but theres also a v9 roller that for some reason installs in v10, Better Rolls for 5e should not be installed

[rotund bronze]

I don't have better rolls

[rotund bronze]

tried but nothing

[vast bane]

show me a snippet of your character sheet and the item you are rolling

[rotund bronze]

ok just a sec

[vast bane]

startmenu key+ shift + s is snippet tool in windows 8+

[rotund bronze]

this is what happen when I try the "ctrl + Alt" keybind, if i press F or T it just does nothing

this is a standard roll instead

[vast bane]

ok are you clicking the standard roll button?

[rotund bronze]

I used scorching ray as an example

I think so... Is it the one left to the spell name, that appears where where the little artwork is?

[vast bane]

to roll an item in midi, you want to mouse over the image and click that

[dark canopy]

that chat card (and general environment) looks pretty heavily modded

have we tried without other modules yet?

[vast bane]

I had him find the culprit with just midi and its dependencies earlier

[rotund bronze]

yes

unfortunately its the same

[vast bane]

I am checking to see if standard roll causes the issue

[dark canopy]

kk, carry on

[vast bane]

yep, this is probably a reportable issue to tposney, that button does not respect controls

[rotund bronze]

thank you very much again

[vast bane]

your players need to mouse over the picture, it changes to a d20, and then click it, do not use the standard roll button

[rotund bronze]

yes exactly

[vast bane]

standard roll button is the only way I can replicate your problem, if you roll the item the normal way then the toggle keys work

ok after clicking standard roll, now everything is replicating, I think its 10.0.22 causing this

[rotund bronze]

omg I don't know how to do this correctly

[vast bane]

turn off auto consume in midi settings is the only solution

[rotund bronze]

ok I will do that then, Thanks so much again you were very kind to help me

[vast bane]

is the error if any smarter person wants to know

it does not exist in 10.0.19 if you absolutely want to use a functional version. 10.0.20, 21, and 22 all have issues for folks who use overtime effects so I have been using 10.0.19 for now fyi. Its not a game breaker issue but I just decided to wait for the fixes in 10.0.23

[strange shell]

Trying to setup Robe of Stars to give +1 to saving throws but for some reason it is only working on one instance of the roll, anyone able to help?

[molten solar]

An effect, no modules needed.

system.bonuses.abilities.save | Add | +1

[vast bane]

sounds like you got the ae setup wrong, if its identical to zhells example then you probably have a special duration in it or something else is wrong about it.

[strange shell]

ah ty, i was trying to use midi

[strange shell]

am i being retarded? that option isnt in the list of available effects??

[molten solar]

v9?

[strange shell]

yeah

is it this one? data.bonuses.abilities.save

[molten solar]

data instead of system, yes

[strange shell]

ty!

[strong yew]

What do you guys do for the piercer feat?

do you use the like /r 1d6rr1 or whatever the command is?

So why I asked actually was because I tried bugbears macro and it wasn't working for me

It's just the standard SRD longbow I was trying it on

But looking at hte damage formula it was 1d8[piercing] + @MoD

The mention in the original post about it being picky with damage formulas, I just changed it to 168 + mod and set the type as piercing instead and it works fine seems like

actually, it works for the crit extra dice

but doesn't prompt for rerolling 1s so far

[dark canopy]

you can avoid accidental pings by wrapping code in backticks, like this
`@somePathThatisAlsoAUser`
@somePathThatisAlsoAUser

[molten solar]

Why would it 'prompt'?

1d6rr1 will automatically reroll 1s for you (recursively)

[strong yew]

lmao Thanks sorry about that

[strong yew]

does it only reroll once?

[molten solar]

rr will reroll 1s until it does not roll a 1

r will reroll 1s once.

[strong yew]

yeah piercer is once per turn

oh

so 1d6r1 would work

[molten solar]

It should, yes

[strong yew]

Thanks

[molten solar]

Some more stuff if interested:
https://foundryvtt.com/article/dice-modifiers/
These all apply to the damage formulas in dnd5e items.

[strong yew]

Appreciate it, I looked at this but somehow didn't absorb it apparently

Huh, it seems like the macro actually does have a prompt in the code

maybe because it's only usable once a turn

[spice kraken]

@solid walrus Can you show the details tab of the spell

[spice kraken]

Are you using convenient effects or cub?

[solid walrus]

CUB

[spice kraken]

I'm not too familiar with cub but go into the effects tab for me and show what's there

[spice kraken]

Add a temporary effect and what happens when you type out cub there

[spice kraken]

perfect, click that and add blinded

[solid walrus]

So the effect seems to apply to the dragon, not to who ever is hit by the attack

[spice kraken]

go to the details tab of the effect and uncheck the box to apply on equip

[solid walrus]

Now the player gets the blinded effect but also a sandstorm effect

Ohh but they are linked. Removing one also removes the other. I guess thats fine

Thanks so much!

[celest bluff]

Looks like it's breaking this line of itemHandling
const p2z = installedModules.get("levels")?.lastTokenForTemplate.data.elevation ?? installedModules.get("levels")?.nextTemplateHeight ?? 0;

think the line with data needs a ?

[molten solar]

There you go, @violet meadow. Added a li'l extra treat for you as well.

[violet meadow]

If no last token for template?

[violet meadow]

EM? Will check later!

[coarse mesa]

Little? This changes everything

[strong yew]

Something in a different channel?

[wind fossil]

Yeah lol #package-releases

[strong yew]

Oh wow

[wind fossil]

I don’t often come across situations I’ve felt Effect Macro was the only solution. What’re y’all using it for?

[molten solar]

Personally; literally anything I want to be able to toggle.

[wind fossil]

Active effects are already toggles?

[molten solar]

Exactly.

[strong yew]

So I suppose something like "On combat turn ending" would be useful to recheck a save or something yeah?

Trying to work out the use cases myself

[molten solar]

Yep

Given that it stores any generic macro, it can also be used as a substitute for ATE. Not anything anyone here would care about but the option is there.

[wind fossil]

I’m just curious what sort of features people have been making with it, I wanna reverse engineer some examples

[violet meadow]

Well alongside MidiQOL, it’s an alternative to DAE in some cases that you need to manipulate effects based on triggers, offering more granular support of what happens when.
DAE would need a more complex macro to do the same, or if not more complex, a bit less intuitive.

[celest bluff]

This is while a template is present and using the selected by template command

[violet meadow]

I see. I haven’t played at all with levels API and integration with MidiQOL

[dark canopy]

the little bit i know about levels is that stock "MeasuredTemplate" classes are nearly worthless

so, you will have to lean on whatever API Levels exposes for its template classes

unfortunately, it doesnt seem like levels actually substitutes the measuredtemplate class, which would be helpful -- warpgate's crosshairs dont work at all with that mod

[strange shell]

Don't suppose anyone could help me out with these 2 errors at all?

[violet meadow]

Well I would ask around in #modules maybe?

[strong yew]

Anyone have a wg macro for misty step?

Trying to deconstruct how to use warpgate for a character swap

[peak helm]

Any idea why midi is giving these errors on every roll?

[dark canopy]

looks like the damage tags are being parsed incorrectly

can you show the item's damage formula that does this?

[peak helm]

ive just updated midi and it seems to have fixed it i think, just updaing a compendium one sec

[violet meadow]

Forgotten debug entries. 10.0.22 version fixes

[peak helm]

Ahh thats why theyre gone in the update then

[vast bane]

if you just wanted blinded use the key statusEffect

[vast bane]

the primary thing for midi and EM is probably temp hp stuff and the fact that EM stores the macro on the item so we basically have a secondary item macro situation. But if you really wanna see the amazingness of EM, look for Chris' potion of poison macro, that is a great flex of Effect Macro.

[vast bane]

automated animations has a prebuilt for teleportation, all you have to do is duplicate their misty step and edit the settings for other spells like dimension door. No midi work required.

[dark canopy]

the most basic form is

const loc = await warpgate.crosshairs.show();

await warpgate.mutate(token.document, {token: {x: loc.x, y: loc.y}}, {}, {permanent:true, updateOpts: {token: {animate:false}}});

@strong yew

[vast bane]

good use case would be bait and switch

[coarse mesa]

Warp Gate really is a Swiss army tool

[dark canopy]

1.15.x added the update options parameter

making misty step and other "blink" spells much better 😅

[inland fossil]

I have a roll table for random hit locations that I drag the item from the chat bar and place it on the token. I am trying to figure out how to automate this and have healing remove the effect as well. Here is what happens in combat. Bad guy shoots player token causing a wound. A wound does -1 to all rolls, plus damage. When healed I wish the healing would remove the effect as well as fix the damage. Is this possible? Note" wounds stack as well so I normally have to drag multiple wounds onto the token. I am wanting the hit location roall and the wound assignment to be automated as well. Help is greatly appreciated

[vast bane]

@idle crypt Sneak attack can be automated in midi by finding the midi sample item and dragging it to the pc. If it is not a rogue class, you need to add rogue levels I think, cause the automated version references rogue levels for the scale. Also the button you hold down for versatile is um...in keybindings

you could technically setup the rogues weapons with versatile damages including the sneak attakcs, personally I do not fastforward, so I use advantage reminder module for my once a turn shit, less reliance on macros so I don't burn out the gurus here.

Raptors request reminds me ALOT of maxwells malicious maladies module, but I think hes using a different wound system so I doubt rippers module could be adapted to it.

I think technically you can edit MMM's compendiums and just never update MMM and you can repurpose his wound tables to whatever you want, and he made it so midi fires them automatically

but beware that an orange name will likely chime in and warn against editing modules compendiums just for the fact that any update to the module will competely delete your work.

ok, I dont need sneak attack atm, but good to know there is a solution.I do have a paladin who uses divine smite tho

I can see there is a sample item for that aswell

divine smite has a couple ways to use it right in midi, I do not like any of the automated methods but they exist, same idea basically, go to midi sample items and drag it to the paladins sheet
