MidiQOL

[vast bane]

I personally use advantage reminder for player choice

[idle crypt]

is that a module?

[dark canopy]

and there is always the option of creating the divine smite feature as a level 1 spell

which would handle the "upcasting" innately

[vast bane]

the problem with just making it a spell in midi, and this is only a minor problem, is that it becomes 2 instances of damage, for concentration management

[strong yew]

Thanks for this. Essentially gave one of my characters a feat that lets them swap places with someone else

Trying to figure out how to implement that

[vast bane]

I personally make it an advantage reminder module entry so it all attaches to the same damage instance

[strong yew]

Figured warpgate could do it, would just need to swap both character's positions

[dark canopy]

same idea, but you dont need to get the locations with the crosshairs 🙂

[idle crypt]

this is getting a bit too complicated for me, I'll ask my smarter friend who can show me 😛

[vast bane]

the midi sample item also attaches it all into 1 instance I believe, but it always prompts the pally "Do you want to smite" even when they don't want to, so it is basically making fast forward redundant but to each their own, more than one way to skin a cat they say.

[idle crypt]

I mean, I havent quite figured out how to roll with advantage... Im used to it being hold down shift from better rolls xD

[spice kraken]

alt advantage, ctrl disadvantage

[vast bane]

isn't that the same across all rollers?

[violet meadow]

ah that will be my project tonight!

[idle crypt]

ah, in better rolls its: shift advantage, ctrl disadvantage, alt alternate dmg / versatile

[spice kraken]

v for versatile damage

[idle crypt]

can I change these bindings for all players in midi?

[vast bane]

make sure better rolls is didsabled, that module for some reason still shows up and gets in the gears of v10 foundry, its absolutely broken but if you leave it enabled you will have issues.

[spice kraken]

check the keybinds settings

I know shift is used for something in midi but idr what

[idle crypt]

I will endeavour to rid myself of better rolls 😄

[vast bane]

shift forces normal/normal in the popouts

[spice kraken]

Don't use any roller modules with midi

[vast bane]

do not use fast rolls, ready set roll, or roll groups with midi qol

or better rolls for 5e

and if for some reason you have managed to also install Minimal roll enhancements, don't use that either

bugbear missed it the other night, someone reported a problem with midi and it turned out the person had all the rollers installed

[idle crypt]

well cool guys, thanks for your help 🙂 Im sure I will be back..

[celest bluff]

You could have it apply an active effect on damage easily enough. Then set an expiry on healing, only issue is stacking. It will remove everything. So depends on if this is a 1 time debuff or not. Might be easier with a set of macros.

[idle crypt]

or maaybe just one last question... how do you make that flanking automation work? so it toggles the condition... is it on an enemy or the PC?

[celest bluff]

All settings are client side

Though I do recall seeing a module which allowed you to save them per client

[vast bane]

depends on the rules you are using but usually midi+dfreds can pull this off easily

[idle crypt]

client side means for all players?

[violet meadow]

Configure controls or something like that

[celest bluff]

Each browser, different settings. Everything is stored locally via cookies

[idle crypt]

ok

[inland fossil]

Hmmm, so the stacking would be an issue. How it stacks right not is separately. Each wound is a separate effect. So it does not say wound(3) instead it says:
Wound
Wound
and so one. Will that still pose the same issue?

[vast bane]

aren't your wounds just generic -1's to all skills/abilities/saves/attacks?

you might be able to automate your wounds with a world script on health percent

and then go back to using your hps for hps instead

[celest bluff]

Think a world script or click macro would better for this then setting expiry for healing.

You can filter the number of them, then remove the most recent one.

[vast bane]

I'm pretty sure hes adapting from another game system where you take wound damage not just generic hp, so a worldscript could adjust active effects based on the percent of health right?

[inland fossil]

Sorry yes was afk, they are generic a wound is negative 1 to all rolls

[vast bane]

each time they are hit 1 poitn of damage is 1 wound right?

[inland fossil]

Yes

If you remember the damage is divided by 6 to create the wound

[vast bane]

I can think of a really janky way to pull this off but a macro could pull it off even easier

[inland fossil]

Well it is a gloppy right now, but the ride is getting smoother since I started asking questions lol

[vast bane]

the janky way would be to make dfreds CE's exhaustions custom and edit them to be -1's to all rolls. Then have every weapon apply dfreds CE exhaustions.

oh wait we don't even need to use dfreds CE's exhaustion duh

dae or something allows for stacking

so yeah, make every weapon apply the same wound ae and have it stack

however you'lll need crymics method to heal it properly

actually

you could probably get a macro, that removes 1 wound or X wounds, if they knew that you were using stacking that would help so they don't try to remove the same named active effect.

if a heal spell heals for 4 points, then you could set an item macro to take the items roll, and remove that many active effects named X

I don't think you could ask macro polo, because you'd need to yoink the roll out of midi's workflow

well you could try but the guys who'd answer would lurk here more than there

[dark canopy]

this would be relatively simple world script territory

on preUpdateActor, check the updated HP vs the current HP, divide by 6, store it in the hooks options argument.

On updateActor, look for that flag and that the current user issued the update, if found, apply an AE as needed to that actor.

if its negative, you are instead removing some AE, or modifying a current one

[vast bane]

yeah I think the worldscript would be a better way, this way you don't have to edit every single weapon you made

however (I don't know how to do what badger suggested). But I bet you macro polo could do that!

[inland fossil]

I dont know how to do what he said either but it looks like it would work just based off of the language he used

[vast bane]

You could try taking it to #macro-polo and link to his post there. I might suggest the worldscripter module as I find its an easier way of deploying world scripts

[scarlet gale]

@gilded yacht Is Damage Only Workflows correctly passing token information to levels cover? I'm getting a weird bug with covers getting passed a token document when it's expecting something else.

Cover is trying to do const baseZ = targetToken.document.elevation; but the TargetToken is already a token document. So TargetToken.document doesn't exist.

[strong yew]

Alright so, if I want to reference the location of the currently targeted token. Do I do something like game.user.targets[0].value.x and y?

[violet meadow]

game.user.targets.first().x //and y
``` will give you the top left point of the square the target is currently in.

[strong yew]

Is there like a primer or any documentation I can refer to, or did you guys learn by just reverse engineering everything?

[scarlet gale]

console.log and poking around pretty much

Module documentation can help too, but not everything is documented well

[strong yew]

I imagine stuff like targeting isn't module specific right?

It's more like core foundry?

[scarlet gale]

Yea

the targets are a set

and first() just gets the first item in the set

then after that you have the token document

[strong yew]

gotcha

Thanks for the explanation. I'm sure I'll pick up more as I go along and hit you guys with less questions

I appreciate all the help so far though

[dark canopy]

Warpgate has very thorough documentation

If you are looking at those commands

[scarlet gale]

@violet meadow Do you have any macros that use damage only workflows? Could you check if any of yours bug out with cover enabled? If you have that module.

[vast bane]

magic missile comes to mind, maybe a smite macro too

[violet meadow]

I don't use Levels. But Crymic noticed something similar.

<#1010273821401555087 message>

[vast bane]

isn't the levels cover a patreon only module?

[scarlet gale]

I think so

[vast bane]

might be why hes unable to test

is simbuls not an option for your setup?

[scarlet gale]

Yep, that looks like the same bug

I already use levels, so it made sense to use levels cover

[vast bane]

I hear ya there, I too like to reduce modules that way

[dark canopy]

It's also hard to have compatibility with an unpublished module

[strong yew]

The API docs? I'm having trouble reading them for some reason

[violet meadow]

I think tposney uses it, so sooner or later it will be fixed. Probably worth an issue

[strong yew]

just not clicking

[dark canopy]

They do assume a certain level of JavaScript knowledge, as most would. The wiki has more practical examples

[scarlet gale]

When I first started messing with warpgate the wiki had a page with an example for call lighting. But then it also said this doesn't currently work.

That threw me for a loop lol

[dark canopy]

Heh, yea, is a great example of various combinations, but the whole chain fell apart at some point

[strong yew]

yeah, I'll have to get into it

I work in DevOps but no java exp

[quartz dragon]

@vast bane Thanks for the help I was looking at the old version of Mace of Disruption. I'm trying to set up a weapon so that if it kills an enemy it grants an attack bonus on the next attack. Does "if damageItem.newHP <= 0" make sense as an activation condition?

[vast bane]

I don't think you use IF, but I'm also the worst person to ask of that, I'd ask someone like @scarlet gale or @violet meadow

in the midi readme it uses examples where it implies target, unless you lead with @source so you just need to make a simple equation true, so targets hp value in the console = less than X, I don't think you want less than 0 cause nothing can go less than 0

I think the reason why mace doesn't use it in the activation condition is because that weapon has alot going on with it. You might wanna check out some other items for examples of activation conditions

My first thought is to try and see if a midi srd item like power words are automated there, and see if theres an activation condition you can rip from those

barring one of the guru's responding with THE answer

then again the other problem with midi srd is that it hides alot of the codes it uses, Divine Word would probably be a great item to steal the code from but its hidden in midi srd's files

target.actor.system.attributes.hp.value

[violet meadow]

Hmm my initial thought is a macro is needed.
But let me check quickly something

[quartz dragon]

@violet meadow thanks very much

[vast bane]

for my own educational purposes did I pull the right code there bugbear?

I stole it out of toll the dead

that would be a neat interaction with roll self and activation conditions if it was possible though

[violet meadow]

So the issue is to make the effect target yourself after the activation condition evaluates to true. Testing

[violet meadow]

That is the correct path, but for MidiQOL activation conditions target already gives you the rollData, so you can do target.attributes.hp.value

To understand what is available as target in Activation Conditions, select a token and give in console _token.actor.getRollData()

[violet meadow]

OK success!

Activation condition target.attributes.hp.value < workflow.damageList[0].appliedDamage.

Tick the box near the bottom of the Details tab of the Item, which says that Activation Condition must be true to apply effects.

Create a DAE on the Item. In the Details tab of it tick BOTH boxes shown here

In the effect value create the bonus that you want. Give it also a Special Duration of 1Attack and I think you're good to go.

[vast bane]

I only recently started using the DAE method of creating ae's, is there a distinct difference between the core method and the wrench button?

[scarlet gale]

The wrench button I think works better, or at least saves time. Like it'll copy the feature image over to the effect when you create an effect that way.

I'm sure it does more.

[vast bane]

yeah I noticed that there are rare cases where a core ae creation doesnt' carry over the icon

well some cases, its more common than rare

[violet meadow]

Let me make 2 screenshots

[strong yew]

Anyone know how to get measuredtemplatedocument info from a target/character?

Trying to build one without using the crosshairs

but it's quite a large object

[violet meadow]

The differences are when you create an effect effect from the character sheet tab directly. It shows this.

[strong yew]

await warpgate.crosshairs.show(); basically what this returns, but trying to get it just from the token

[violet meadow]

Whereas the DAE title button will give you this

[strong yew]

Ooh, can I get that Genies Wrath you got

[violet meadow]

Sorry Wolfe, do you want to create one message after mine, cause it got a bit separated?

[strong yew]

Anyone know how to get measuredtemplatedocument info from a target/character?
Trying to build one without using the crosshairs
but it's quite a large object
await warpgate.crosshairs.show(); basically what this returns, but trying to get it just from the token

[violet meadow]

Hmm what do you mean "from the token"?

[strong yew]

if I have a target, then from that

or at least the space it occupies

[violet meadow]

Well if you use an item and that creates a template, you can get the Template id from the MidiQOL args[0]

[scarlet gale]

Are you trying to get the tokens that were in the template?

[strong yew]

Oh no, just the target's location to then be able to pass back

It seems like show() returns a large object with that information in it

[scarlet gale]

oh

you don't need warpgate for that

the token document has it's X and Y coords

[violet meadow]

yeah if you have the target you can dive in the document and get all you need

[strong yew]

So, I can definitely get the coords and have that working

But the way it's passed into this, I was trying to understand how to make that work without the crosshairs

.animation()
.on(target)
.teleportTo(position)
.snapToGrid()
.offset({ x: -1, y: -1 })
.waitUntilFinished(200)

the position variable here is the result of that show() from warpgate

so it's the object that gets returned

[violet meadow]

That is different. You will need to provide the "new" position and yes it is what the crosshair returns

[strong yew]

But the object isn't warpgate specific right?

[violet meadow]

const {x,y} = await warpgate.crosshair.show() will get you the coordinates iirc

[scarlet gale]

Are you just trying to get the coords of the target?

Or something that specifically needs a crosshair selection

[strong yew]

does .teleportTo() only need the coords in this case?

[violet meadow]

What is position in this case? Not sure about Sequencer's teleportTo(). You can check the readme

[strong yew]

Oh no, sorry if I'm not being clear, I'm trying to avoid using the crosshair

and get the information being passed into .teleportTo() some way else

position is the returned object from show() in warpgate

Which is a MeasuredTemplateDocument from what I can tell

[violet meadow]

From the Sequencer wiki https://fantasycomputer.works/FoundryVTT-Sequencer/#/api/animation```js
new Sequence()
.animation()
.on(token)
.fadeIn(500)
.teleportTo({ x: 100, y: 0 })
.play()

You only need to pass x,y.

[strong yew]

Ah, yeah, so just much simpler than what I'm thinking

I've already got the x and y I need so I think I should be good

Just gotta mess around with it and test

[vestal cedar]

Any way I can use the Overtime function in MidiQol to just roll a die as part of the effect? No save, no damage, just a d10 that gets rolled when the actor's turn rolls around that I can then compare to a separate chart.

This is what I presently have that isn't working:

[violet meadow]

Use macroName and provide a roll in the macro

[vast bane]

sounds alot like confusion but midi srd's confusion is in the module file

[strong yew]

Woo, got it, thanks for your help guys

[violet meadow]

Do you need it to be an OverTime effect? Cause I am not sure if you can get it to roll something other than skill/save/damage 🤔

[vestal cedar]

This just felt like the easiest way to get it. I'm not great with macros, so do everything I can in Midi, even if it's clunky lol. But yeah, I might not be able to get exactly what I want this way

[vast bane]

and midi srd does something in a macro each turn

[violet meadow]

In Duration tab of the DAE, make it Execute macros every round start of combat turn and instead of the OT, use a macro.itemMacro to do a roll

await new Roll("1d10").toMessage({flavor: " Lovesick start of turn, what will be next?})

[strong yew]

hmm, so looking at the pack tactics posted by posney, it seems to only activate when there's a friendly token within 5ft of your token

but isn't pack tactics if they're in melee with the enemy token?

[vast bane]

The kobold has advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of the kobold's allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn't incapacitated.

[vestal cedar]

I'll give this a shot. Though @vast bane might be right too and the best thing would be to just copy the Confusion macro and edit the cases. I can do that much.

Wish me luck; thanks for your help!

[vast bane]

I had no idea tposney added his own, I am using bugbears

[vast bane]

I dunno how to get the macro, its in midi srd's file, but bugbear is the temporary custodian of said module fwiw

[strong yew]

Oh? Posney's is the one that came up in a discord search

[violet meadow]

Type in console MidiMacros.confusion

[strong yew]

can I get that macro from you bugbear?

[vast bane]

my stuff tends to be vintage from way too long ago cause i'm a hoarder and rarely update

[strong yew]

the one I grabbed that posney shared only works if you have an ally within 5ft of yourself

so that doesn't really work

I think I found bugbears further up in the discord

[violet meadow]

Yeah its somewhere here

hmm what's the tposney one?

[vast bane]

if (args[0].macroPass === "preAttackRoll") {
    if(!token || args[0].targets.length < 1) return;
    const target = args[0].targets[0].object;
    const creatures = MidiQOL.findNearby(CONST.TOKEN_DISPOSITIONS.HOSTILE,target,5);
    const validCreatures = arrayRemove(creatures, token);
    const workflow = await MidiQOL.Workflow.getWorkflow(args[0].uuid);
    if(validCreatures.length === 0 || validCreatures.filter(t=>t.actor.effects.find(i=>i.label === "Incapacitated")).length === validCreatures.length) return;
    else setProperty(workflow, 'advantage', true);
}

function arrayRemove(arr, value) {
    return arr.filter(function(ele){
        return ele != value;
    });
}```

NOTE: I renamed my item as a joke beware. This is Pack Tactics but you need to name it back the way it should be in the AE and the item name.

[strong yew]

#1010273821401555087 message

[violet meadow]

delete that data in i=>i.data.label Moto for v10 and future proofing

[vast bane]

is that one of the shimmable things or that would throw a red error?

[violet meadow]

warning

[violet meadow]

Hmm that one uses the tokenUuid so I guess that it checks the distance from the attacker?! 🤔

[strong yew]

didn't work like this

but did work if my ally was behind the wolf

not even adjacent to the creature

[strong yew]

This works great, thanks guys

[vast bane]

I edited out the data in label hopefully you copied it after I did that fyi

[violet meadow]

@strong yew try this flags.midi-qol.advantage.attack.mwak | Custom | findNearby(-1, targetUuid, 5, 0).length > 1

For future reference, Pack Tactics MidiQOL findNearby

[vast bane]

you know it could be that his dispositions are wrong

for tposney's

[violet meadow]

Nah the original one was actually checking for allies 5 ft away from the attacker.

In the edited one, it checks for more than 1 unfriendly to the target creatures within 5ft

[strong yew]

Oh interesting

[strong yew]

This works like a charm

very simple, love it

[violet meadow]

Yeah these small additions make some macros obsolete 😄

And with that, bugbear goes back to his cave 👋

[strong yew]

Oh, you know what, I think I get what you guys were talking about with warpgate and the item stuff finally

is it done using the mutate?

[vast bane]

@gilded yacht The Module Item Delete Check is causing a bad interaction with Tidy5e sheet. When you delete an item off a sheet, it poofs immediately, then returns a second or two later, and repoofs again.

https://gitlab.com/tposney/item-delete-check/-/issues/13

the delete message happens only once, and only after the second phantom deletion.

I have no clue which author I should ping between the two of you

[vast bane]

how difficult would it be to have an active effect end when the actor loses all its temp hp?

[glad veldt]

How can I call up a workflow that applies midi qol's divine smite?

[vast bane]

there are numerous premade smite methods available in compendiums

How do you make a square template an aura with active auras? the aura settings seem to expect ONLY spheres/circles???

[coarse mesa]

What has a square aura? 👀

[vast bane]

Grease, Faerie fire, and now spreading spores for spore druid, but I figured it out, you leave that field blank

[coarse mesa]

Oh gotcha, I was thinking aura as in on a token

I need to set up a spores Druid soon too. Hopefully not too tricky

[violet meadow]

1. Effect macro On Combatant Marked Defeated,
2. Put something on the DFreds CE Dead condition that will be added automatically,
3. Macro which will be triggered automatically when HP 0 for the specific actor, utilising the DAE flags onUpdateTarget

All of them can delete an effect on trigger.
I would go with the 1st option and in the trigger would just do a effect.delete()

[vast bane]

Not HP, Temp HP. Spores Druid's Symbiotic Entity, the active effect ends when their temp hp is gone.

[violet meadow]

Then you need option no3

I have actually shared something similar lately 🤔

<#1010273821401555087 message>

<#1010273821401555087 message>

[violet meadow]

@coarse mesa for new versions of MidiQOL in v10 you will need to change the execute as GM macro slightly #1010273821401555087 message

[sudden crane]

Is it gone when the temp HP from the symbiotic feature is gone ? I ask because what if you receive another pool of temp HP from another feature before the first one is depleted. Then I don’t think that it would be easy to determine on update from where came the temp Hp, ideally adding temp hp should come with context information…

[violet meadow]

Oh that sounds messy yeah!

Is it always on?

[vast bane]

I'm just handling it manually, I had asked "how difficult it was" and the replies came back "very" in my view hehe.

[sudden crane]

In theory when you receive temp hp you could refuse them, for exemple if the new total is lower than you current total, or in some case when the pool is associated to some feature that is active as long as you have the original pool from the feature

[violet meadow]

@grim bane the DAE midi flags should be used most of the time with CUSTOM

CUSTOM: system/module specific calculation. DAE specifies lots of CUSTOM effects.

[sudden crane]

@violet meadow I looked into it for Armor of Agathys, and haven’t decide yet how to handle it…

[grim bane]

Yes, indeed. But if used with custom, effects won't stack, e.g. Stone's Endurance and Heavy Armor Master.

[violet meadow]

I saw that one recently <#macro-polo message>

[violet meadow]

Stone endurance reduces the damage by a specific amount right? 🤔

[grim bane]

By 1d12 + Con.

[vast bane]

I'm able to get stones endurance to work fyi

[violet meadow]

As a reaction

[grim bane]

Therefore the inline roll

[grim bane]

As an automated reaction?

[vast bane]

yessir

[grim bane]

Or have you created the effect directly?

[vast bane]

its a reaction

were you using the wrong DR key?

[violet meadow]

Yeah it creates the effect when needed, 1hit or somthing

[grim bane]

Nope, completely the same.

[vast bane]

I did reaction cause I wasn't sure if reaction damaged would work

[grim bane]

100% the same

[vast bane]

do you have another roller?

[grim bane]

Nope, just Midi

[vast bane]

and what is your midi/dae versions

[grim bane]

Never cross beams... 😉

[violet meadow]

Wait. The issue is the DRs are not both respected?

[grim bane]

This as well, that's the reason I've tried using "ADD" instead of "CUSTOM".

[vast bane]

where are the multiple dr's from?

you can't do add in DR, its a subtraction value

[grim bane]

Stone's Endurance & Heavy Armor Master

[vast bane]

this is one of those 1 in a million priority cases

[grim bane]

You're right. But I thought I should point that out...

[vast bane]

use priority, include heavy armor master in stones endurance

which is stronger, higher or lower in priority?

[grim bane]

Oh, haven't thought about priority... damn. But nevertheless, as soon as I'm using inline rolls, no damage is applied and the error above occurs

[vast bane]

that is not my case

[grim bane]

My versions are:
Foundry 10.288
DnD 2.0.3
Midi 10.0.22
DAE 10.0.13

[vast bane]

I have foundry 290, otherwise same as you

take a picture for the archives guys, we got a priority case finally

only error I get is my crusher feat I still haven't fixed lol

[grim bane]

Without the inline roll everything's fine (besides the dice throw is missing)

[vast bane]

I ponder if HAM is suppose to stack though

also I think the ac issue is just cause its a system flag and ac generally is weirder anyway, it does not like dice equations

it really wants an integer

Theres a few weird ones like that, I believe initiative is similar if they haven't fixed that in 2.0.3

[violet meadow]

If you really want the roll to show, you can create a Roll in a macro, have it displayed and then create the effect with that roll.total on the actor

[vast bane]

mines rolling?

turn on inline rolls for dae

its a client side setting so if you aren't the goliath player, tell them to do it on their end

[grim bane]

Hmm... I'm not sure if I want it THAT badly... 😉

[vast bane]

I turned it on for things like spirit guardians and such, my players are very paranoid with dice rollls

[grim bane]

I did a clean install for 290, no other modules than midi and dae, and still the inline rolls don't work. The dice are rolled but the effect value is still the formula within the double square brackets. I give up...

[violet meadow]

It depends on how you add the effect on the actor. I can replicate as I told you before.

[vast bane]

To be clear, you did set the dae inline rolls setting right?

[violet meadow]

Moto probably uses a different way

[vast bane]

I just made a basic feature

want me to send you the feature?

[grim bane]

Yes, would be nice.

[vast bane]

my actor had 10 con, so I just kinda guessed I was using the right attribute but it should work

so your issue is that it works, but the inline roll isn't shown?

You are 1000% sure you have this setting checked?

[grim bane]

Absolutely. And here's the effect value...

The roll is made but not inserted within the effect

[vast bane]

um yes it is

thats not the effect on the actor

thats the effect on the item isn't it?

[grim bane]

It is the effect on the actor

[vast bane]

find the culprit

I guess my con mod was wrong, unless that guys got 10 con too

[grim bane]

it's right, the guy is just a test actor. Changed the con to 16...

[vast bane]

oh I see what I did wrong

for the record, priority is higher not lower

so change the reaction to 50, and change the passive to 1

or just lower

I assumed lower was better

stones endurance just absolutely has to have a higher priority than HAM

its just so rare nobody told us what way it goes

[grim bane]

Hasn't changed anything. I don't even have HAM right now, only your feature. And it still doesn't calculate the inline roll within the effect value.

[vast bane]

show me chat

[vast bane]

you aren't using enhanced damage dialog

DR requires it

if its off its not applying damage automatically nor how does it know what the damage type is

[grim bane]

Why should I need that? I don't roll damage right now, I only activate the feature which should give me DR

[violet meadow]

I have never used that in my life

[vast bane]

what do you think DR is?

[violet meadow]

I use DR just fine without

[vast bane]

DR is damage reduction not resistance

[violet meadow]

yeap

[vast bane]

you won't see it till you take damage

[vast bane]

I misspoke the feature I speak of

I meant the damage card

but I'm pretty sure there is no way to show DR is active on an actor until they actually take the damage

in midi terms, DR is damage reduction and dr is damage resistance just cause of how the keys are in dae

[vast bane]

didn't realize it shows it in the mouse over good to know

[grim bane]

I'm talking about DR (Damage Reduction). And no, enhanced damage dialog didn't change anything. Here's the error:

[vast bane]

find the culprit maybe?

[grim bane]

How do I use that? I've already installed it

[vast bane]

manage modules bottom right

midi, dae, socketlib, libwrapper

let me test mine on a pc, its currently on an npc

[violet meadow]

So DAE sends that stringTerm to a Dice Roll evaluation and Foundry complains (midi catches that error and displays it)

[grim bane]

😄 these are the only modules installed...

[violet meadow]

You should be seeing a couple of more warnings from MidiQOL just before that one

[vast bane]

its pc's

[grim bane]

that's the complete console log, cleared right before the attack happened

[vast bane]

npc works fine, pc does not

something about pc's are breaking it

[grim bane]

I know that DR is functioning. It's just that the inline roll isn't working as intended

[grim bane]

Exactly! 🙂

[violet meadow]

Linked/unlinked or PC/NPC only?

[vast bane]

linked/unlinked

[grim bane]

Only linked. I just unlinked the pc and everything works

[violet meadow]

update the created issue with all the info 😉

[violet meadow]

and an actor with the item on and which item is it that does it etc

[grim bane]

all the 12.114.543 messages? 😉

[vast bane]

just tell him how to replicate it

[violet meadow]

ahhh nooooo just the linked/unlinked pc/ncp and an actor that show cases the issue

[grim bane]

Just kidding... not my first neither last issue... 😄

[vast bane]

tell him to drag out the aboleth, make sure its unlinked, give it the feature he will totally see it, but also snippet the error too

[grim bane]

And @vast bane & @violet meadow Thanks a lot for your help! 🤩 🥳

[vast bane]

really odd behavior though, what an insidious bug

[violet meadow]

Also I am not sure if the DR doesn't accumulate house rule option does anything tbh

[vast bane]

I always lean towards fucking up my combat dummies before player characters so thats why I was using an npc that whole time

[vast bane]

I dunno if they stack, I only added it cause I misinterpretted the issue at hand

they stack if you include it all and then set the priority, the passive HAM is ignored for the attack

[grim bane]

Hmm... is it a Midi or DAE issue? 🤔

[violet meadow]

I mean there is an option that should allow all DRs to be accumulated in the Misc tab, but not sure what it does

[vast bane]

its a midi flag

unless bugbear can clarify, its not that big of a deal hes the author of both

DAE has less issues though hehe

[violet meadow]

The evaluation error points to DAE

[vast bane]

I ran into that overtime bug in 22, kinda hoping he drops a fix by saturday so I don't have to step back down

[violet meadow]

Is it for spirit guardians OT? I stopped using this kind of workflow for such spells, after I made the Template Macro one 😅

I just dropped them all and went back to creating attack Items on the inventory of the caster and tell them to use that when needed.

[vast bane]

its the spores druids level 10 feature spreading spores

[violet meadow]

well that's a new one

[vast bane]

an active auras square aura that is an overtime effect

want the feature?

I think its the Elwin reported bug isn't it?

tposney responded saying its fixed in 23

I dunno, I just assumed it was

I'm using active auras aa helpers macro for it so that the spores template applies to all within

wait...I think I copied the v9 aa helpers, is there a difference lol

if (!game.modules.get("advanced-macros")?.active) { ui.notifications.error("Advanced Macros is not enabled"); return }
if(args[0].tag === "OnUse"){
AAhelpers.applyTemplate(args)
}```

[violet meadow]

Should be the same

[vast bane]

utils is probably dae right?

so its something in tposneys stuff not kandashis

[violet meadow]

Nope its MidiQOL

Do you have a save Magic in the OT?

[vast bane]

yes

oh shit

its a capital t

[violet meadow]

Do you have it as "True"?

[vast bane]

the first error is still there

calling doovertime

[violet meadow]

Yeah that's not an actual error. Only a forgotten console.error in the utils.js

for (let effect of actor.effects) {
    if (effect.changes.some(change => change.key.startsWith("flags.midi-qol.OverTime"))) {
        console.error("Calling dooverTime effect", actor, effect, startTurn);  //that one 
        await doOverTimeEffect(actor, effect, startTurn);
  }
}

[vast bane]

is that an issue to post?

[violet meadow]

It's in utils.js:1329

[wind fossil]

can activation conditions filter by status effects?

also is hte syntax different in the details tab vs the active effects field?

[violet meadow]

yes

[violet meadow]

not sure what you mean 🤔

[wind fossil]

the chill touch sample item uses an effect activation condition targetId === "@token" && details.type.value === "undead" which looks different to how dragon slayer sample item is set up in details tab

i assume cause different points in the workflow?

[wind fossil]

example pls :)?

[violet meadow]

Probably different points in time that they were created 😄

[violet meadow]

Array.from(workflow.hitTargets)[0].actor.effects.some(eff=>eff.getFlag('core','statusId') === "Convenient Effect: Blinded")

[wind fossil]

wow that's a mouthful!

[violet meadow]

Depending on what the statusId is

you can filter with label too ```
Array.from(workflow.hitTargets)[0].actor.effects.some(eff=>eff.label === "Blinded")

[wind fossil]

Cool thanks bugbear!

[violet meadow]

The Chill Touch doesn't have an Activation Condition present. The magic happens in the DAE effect

[worthy viper]

So I was wondering how would I write up a macro or an automated Aberrant Ground aura for a Gibbering Mouther, if token starts its turn in the aura it must make a save or be knocked prone if they do fail it automatically applies the "Prone" condition from Dfred

[violet meadow]

Active Auras and MidiQOL OverTime effects.
Check how Spirit Guardians is set up in MidiQOL sample Items compendium

[worthy viper]

The ground in a 10-foot radius around the mouther is dough like difficult terrain. Each creature that starts its turn in that area must succeed on a DC 10 Strength saving throw or have its speed reduced to 0 until the start of its next turn. A creature that fails its Strength saving throw from the aberrant ground effect is knocked prone.

[worthy viper]

Ah nice

[violet meadow]

Take a look here too: https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/tree/v10#flagsmidi-qolovertime-overtime-effects

There is an example of Hold Person, applying a Paralysed condition as a StatusEffect

[worthy viper]

flags.midi-qol.OverTime OVERRIDE
turn=end,
saveAbility=wis,
saveDC=@attributes.spelldc,
saveMagic=true,
label=Aberrant Ground
StatusEffect OVERRIDE Convenient Effect: Prone

so like this?

[strong yew]

Hmm. So I'm trying some of the sleep macros posted, but I can't seem to get a decent result

It rolls damage, but then nothing else happens

Do I need to create a CE for sleep?

or a dae I guess

also secondary question. Have a Hideous laughter macro, but it's only applying prone on fail

Is there something I need to adjust to apply multiple statuses?

[wind fossil]

you tried crymic's? https://www.patreon.com/posts/sleep-73239028

[wind fossil]

ive had similar annoyance with this, try using macro.CE

[wind fossil]

the spreadsheet refers to these as activation conditions

[strong yew]

It doesn't seem to do anything besides apply the template

I have an enemy in it with 11 hp, rolled a 20ish

but no effects applied

[violet meadow]

Seems correct!

[strong yew]

macro.CE?

[violet meadow]

Hmm I hadn't seen that, its quite a new change. It just denotes which ones can be used with an activation condition as a filter, but yeah different to the Activation Condition field in the details tab

[wind fossil]

instead of StatusEffect in the attribute key

[violet meadow]

When should it apply Prone?

[strong yew]

on fail, but it should also apply incapacitated

[strong yew]

Ah, it works perfectly now. Thanks!

I'll keep that in mind for others as well

Do you guys use any kind of automation for wild magic surges?

[dark canopy]

helpers/simbul's are my recs

v9/v10 respectively

[violet meadow]

https://foundryvtt.com/packages/wild-magic-surge-5e as another option

[strong yew]

oh wow, is helpers not going to be updated for v10?

and thanks for the suggestions. I'll check these out. Simbul's seems good to have anyway

[spark briar]

Hey guys, I am working on Midi, and it used to be that if I cast shield, the caster gets the bonus. But now I have to target someone. Any help?

[strong yew]

Have a wild magic sorc in my 1 shot, but I also have a custom magic item I gave my warlock in my main campaign I'm going to try to get working. Eldritch Blast on a 20 gets a spell slot back, on a 1 rolls on the wild magic table

[strong yew]

change target to self?

[violet meadow]

Make the item Target Self in the 3rd available box in the details tab

[strong yew]

in the details on the spell

[dark canopy]

the simbuls version has the helper's API that lets you create custom wild surge rules with very little effort

thread with discussion: #960219012443279450

[spark briar]

done that

[violet meadow]

3rd box

[spark briar]

So:
@mild bluff
5

[violet meadow]

Target: blank | blank | Self

[spark briar]

ho, no @ then?

[violet meadow]

@self

[violet meadow]

Nope!

[spark briar]

I fixed it

[violet meadow]

Character sheet => Shield spell => edit it => Details tab

[strong yew]

Oh, no it should be in details

target

[spark briar]

I found the culprit

This was on do not apply

so it gave the prompt

[violet meadow]

This is wrong. Well it was being used at some point.
Now just use system.attributes.ac.bonus | Add | +5

[spark briar]

okay, changed it, thanks man

Do you guys know how I, when I cast detect magic or such, to make the template move with me?

[violet meadow]

Token Attacher helps.
You can get the template from its id in the args[0] of Midi and then you can do a ```js
tokenAttacher.attachElementsToToken([template], token, false);

Make sure that when you cast the spell, you place the created template on the actual token to have it centered

[spark briar]

Like so?

Btw, all of this is really appreciated

[violet meadow]

Oh no. Create a script macro in your macro folder.
Then call that macro from the onUse MidiQOL macro field on the spell details page

The macro would be something like ```js
const {templateId} = args[0];
const template = canvas.scene.templates.get(templateId)
tokenAttacher.attachElementsToToken([template], token, false);

and the onUse Macro call would be something like `name of the macro you created | Only called once a template is placed`

[strong yew]

So in a strange circumstance, this stopped working all of a sudden. Worked right after I changed it, and now it's not again. Going to troubleshoot

Also, thanks for this one, tried it this morning and mind sliver is working properly now

[dark canopy]

are you editing effects on owned items? i.e. items NOT in the sidebar?

[spark briar]

?

[strong yew]

So typically I edit them on character to test, then after confirming they're working as expected I throw them in the ddb-override folder so they get used if I have to reimport a character

[dark canopy]

editing effects on items on an actor is a great way to confuse yourself

[violet meadow]

Call the Attach-token from that field

I would avoid using - in the name, but 🤷

[strong yew]

Oh? I do edit them on the sidebar sometimes and drag them back onto the actor

[spark briar]

Ill change the name

[strong yew]

But that's like one extra step it feels like when testing small changes

[spark briar]

it didnt work

[dark canopy]

this is the most reliable workflow -- editing effects on owned items is not supported by core and has some little quirks that can and will cause hair loss

[violet meadow]

Do you have the Token Attacher module ?

[spark briar]

I do

and didnt change any settings

[violet meadow]

ok let me double check

I was going off memory 😄

[spark briar]

sure thing

[violet meadow]

OK get the edited macro in a sec <#1010273821401555087 message> 👍

It needs the actual template and not the template.id

[spark briar]

Brilliant

it works

what does args[0] mean?

constant 0?

so, False?

[violet meadow]

Its a call to the arguments MidiQOL makes available to macros!

Create a script macro ```js
console.log("args":,args)
console.log("args[0]:",args[0])
console.log("workflow:",this)

Use an item onUse macro and put the name of that macro in the onUse call `name of the macro | After Active Effects`.

Use that item to make an attack for instance.

Check the console

[spark briar]

jezus, my programming is worse than I thought

But I really appreciate all of this guys

[strong yew]

Oh that's interesting. Thanks for the heads up

Also, do you guys use a module for cover calculation with midi

I see there are two options in the settings

[dark canopy]

people both do and dont -- the big question is: Is cover automation important to your gameplay?

[strong yew]

Yeah I'll try it out. I've been trying to make combat maps more dynamic. Having different levels/cover seems to be more interesting for players

[dark canopy]

"seems" carries a lot of weight there

making anything multilevel increases prep time exponentially

and keep in mind, 2 hours of graphical/animation work could be replaced by 10 minutes of expanding the encounter to have more elements -- resulting in the same amount of "awe" from players

[violet meadow]

And don't get me started on automation macros 😁🤣.
I just do it to learn what I can achieve, but boy oh boy most of the time it's time ... "wasted" 🤯

[strong yew]

How do you mean? is there a lot that needs to be done to integrate the cover calculation other than just a couple walls and setting the heights

?

I have some players that really enjoy combat, but some that really don't. The ones that done tend to respond better to when the map is more dynamic

[dark canopy]

well, the fact that you have wall heights mentioned, i think blocks helpers/simbul's from working, cause I dont consider external mods like that

[strong yew]

Had a fight pit kind of fight where they were on an ice platform with water under, and it was breakable and what not

[dark canopy]

(unless simbul expanded it somehow)

[strong yew]

Oh interesting, I didn't realize that

Most of the automation I'm doing is actually for my wife's benefit. She's DMing for the first time for a one shot, so trying to make everything as easy as possible

[dark canopy]

yea, we are playing on a virtual tabletop, which is 2D -- if you want 3D terrain, FVTT isn't exactly the best option

[dark canopy]

oh dear...if this is her first time DM'ing, PLEASE dont add modules like that -- they are confusing for seasoned users.

In fact, i would recommend no modules

as it will be far far far less frustrating and confusing

[strong yew]

She's used foundry as a player before

She's in my main campaign, but just never Dmd

But yeah I think I'll shy away from the cover stuff for now

thought it might be easy but it sounds like it takes a bit of investment

[dark canopy]

your call, simul's cover calc is very easy to use if you have half decent walls

but it has no integration with levels or wall height, or anything like that

[strong yew]

Interesting. Does Core foundry have like half walls and stuff?

I make most of my maps in dungeon draft

Figured I'd have to come in post import to edit them

[dark canopy]

i personally have not come across a situation in play where representing it all as a flat surface was an impediment to play. If i really really needed some other area, i'll drop a tile and wall it then move the token there

[dark canopy]

"half walls?"

[strong yew]

Well, like short walls for half cover

[dark canopy]

again, foundry is 2D, so the concept of "height" is barely considered

simbul's cover calc adds a cover property to walls, however

[violet meadow]

And is integrated in MidiQol

[strong yew]

Hmm. I'll play around with it on a test world. It's not imperative to have the cover and stuff, just a nice to have

Some of my players like to play around with heights and things for like shoves and what not

[violet meadow]

Same with Token Alternative visibility. Might have the wrong name but close

[strong yew]

But that can kind of just be done manually

Just saw the Cover options part of Midi and figured I'd ask

[dark canopy]

yea, its generally an easy integration short of wall height getting involved

(everything in the original helper's mod was designed to be plug and play)

[strong yew]

Yeah I'll have to figure out the best strategy. There's already so much prep I'm doing since it's a homebrew campaign. My wife took over keeping Kanka updated for me since it was just too much to do with how exhausted I am from work

[glad veldt]

Where should I write DamageOnlyWorkflow like divine smite macro?

[unique cape]

I've been troubleshooting why flasks don't deal other damage and it turned out a script I've found for Piercer feat (I don't remember from where) doesn't seem to detect piercing damage properly - it applies to any attack with any damage. Can this be somehow tweaked?

//Piercer Feat 5e macro for MidiQOL/DAE/ItemMacro as currently stands.
if (args[0].hitTargets.length < 1) return {};
const target = canvas.tokens.get(args[0].hitTargets[0].id);

token = canvas.tokens.get(args[0].tokenId);
actor = token.actor;

const roll = args[0].damageRoll;
const dieSize = roll.terms[0].faces;
const lowDice = Math.min(... roll.terms[0].values)
const isCrit = args[0].isCritical;

if (args[0].tag === "DamageBonus" && args[0].item.data.damage.parts[0][1] === "piercing"){
    if(isCrit) return {damageRoll: `1d${dieSize}[piercing]`, flavor: "Critical Piercer Feat extra damage"}
}

if (args[0].macroPass === "postDamageRoll") {
    let workflow = MidiQOL.Workflow.getWorkflow(args[0].uuid)
    let response = await Dialog.confirm({
        title: 'Piercer feat',
        content: `<p>${token.name} rolled a ${lowDice} on 1d${dieSize}. Reroll?</p>`,
    });
    if(!response)return;
    let damageRoll = new Roll(`1d${dieSize}`)
    await damageRoll.toMessage({flavor:"the rerolled result"});
    
    if (args[0].isCritical) {
        if (workflow.damageRoll.dice[0].results[0].result > workflow.damageRoll.dice[0].results[1].result) workflow.damageRoll.dice[0].results[1].result = damageRoll.total
        else workflow.damageRoll.dice[0].results[0].result = damageRoll.total
    }
    else workflow.damageRoll.dice[0].results[0].result = damageRoll.total
}

Disclaimer, I don't really know how macros work, just hoping there's a simple solution. If not, no big deal

[strong yew]

question about incorporating saves
tried to look at the toll the dead macro to see how it handles only applying on a save
but it doesn't seem to handle that in the macro itself. It is applied in the spell details
Is that right?

[coarse mesa]

Yeah not in front of Foundry right now but it’s either those buttons down the bottom of details, or I think that might be handled with how midi parses descriptions for keywords?

[strong yew]

Hmm. So I'm working on something right now for Telekinetic Shove since one of my players took the feat

I have it working, but am trying to just get some logic around making it work smoothly

I have some if statements in there surrounding no target/multiple targets

and it stops it from working if multiple targets are selected, however it still prompts for the saves before that

even changed when the itemmacro is called to "before the item is rolled" thinking that would work

[coarse mesa]

Just make it target one creature in the details tab, midi does the rest

[strong yew]

Yeah I did that as well

[coarse mesa]

Oh do you not have midi requiring targets?

It’ll throw a notification banner

[strong yew]

hmm, let me check on that

Is it this section in workflow?

[coarse mesa]

Are you testing out of combat?

[strong yew]

Oh, I have it set to in comba

[coarse mesa]

Yeah I just have Always

[strong yew]

Ah so this is why the if statements for targeting aren't in a lot of macros

cause it takes care of it for you

[violet meadow]

Do you have the type of main damage of the weapons you use set to piercing?

[strong yew]

Is there a way to set an item macro to be called only on a failed save?

[wind fossil]

Executing the item macro from within an effect is the way I think

[strong yew]

hmm so if I put in my item macro let save = await actor.rollAbilitySave('int');

That will trigger a second saving throw yeah?

[vast bane]

what are you trying to make

[strong yew]

Telekinetic Shove. I have it all working aside from only triggering on a failed save

[vast bane]

use the skill challenge macro that bugbear made

oh wait, thats just a save

[strong yew]

I used a couple different macros as a base, but mainly pulled from crusher since it's also a move 5ft

Even on a successful save it still allows the move basically

trying to retrieve the results of the prompted save, then use that boolean to determine whether or not to call the next part of the macro

[vast bane]

did you check the WG wiki?

[strong yew]

Hmm, no I didn't. I'll check now and see if I can find something

[dark canopy]

warpgate doesnt have much, if anything, to do with midi's workflow

[vast bane]

https://github.com/trioderegion/warpgate/wiki/Crosshairs-Manipulation

he just needs to make a save feature that applies ae on failed save. Then use item macro in the ae

and make a crosshair movement in the IM

probably better to just plagerize crusher lol, I can't understand that link

[strong yew]

Yeah I have all the movement stuff working

[dark canopy]

i commented it as heavily as I could 😅 that example is more for "how can I really mess with and control crosshairs"

[strong yew]

have midi in debug, looks like "after saves" is an option to call the macro, and then there's some info on the saves and who the target was in there, so I'm gonna look around

[vast bane]

its just a different method than the others is all, I'm used to the examples

[coarse mesa]

You can wrap the whole item macro in an if failed statement… is that what you’re after?

[vast bane]

do you not have activation condition settings on in midi or something?

if they fail the save, ae happens, put item macro key in ae

or use EM

On create: crosshairs movement

[strong yew]

Yeah that's my plan, but retrieving the save result is what I'm trying to find

[vast bane]

it would be on the item?

[coarse mesa]

Gimme a sec. @violet meadow has a one-liner

[strong yew]

So I can do like if (yes) do the thing, if (no) don't

[vast bane]

you don't need to do that

midi already handles that calculation when you make a save feature/item

it will apply an active effect if they fail the save

then its just a matter of finding the item macro key in dae and writing the crosshairs macro

though I'd use EM

[coarse mesa]

you don't need an AE for shove though

[vast bane]

you do if you don't want it all in the macro

[strong yew]

I feel like it would be cleaner if it was just in the macro

I'm sure there's a way I can retrieve the data from the save that was triggered

[vast bane]

you could also look at more automated features shoving attack

but his macros are really complex

[dark canopy]

100% correct. Chaining two modules together increases the failure points by an order of magnitude

[coarse mesa]

@strong yew something along these lines:
if (args[0].failedSaves.length !== 0) {

so it only works on failed save

just do a search on failedSaves – bugbear uses it all the time

[vast bane]

Pushing Attack macro in more automated module

[dark canopy]

that target.update looks sketchy re: permissions

[vast bane]

I don't think he uses warpgate

[coarse mesa]

case in point – failedSaves

[vast bane]

its a v9 module I'm sure theres mistakes or changes in need

[dark canopy]

nah, not syntax, just core foundry permissions issues

which were present in v9 as well

[vast bane]

do overtime template effects need the template to stay?

I feel like this is a dumb question but I swear I removed these in v9 with Automated animations

[coarse mesa]

does A-A actually delete the template or just hide it? mine show up again on hover, but maybe that's a different module

[vast bane]

I want that hide module lol

[coarse mesa]

I like it that way so you can check anytime exactly which squares are affected

[coarse mesa]

I use TMFX to give a lil flavour to any default templates that A-A isn't working on... eg most SRD creatures

[vast bane]

I must have a conflicting module cause I have that setting and its not happening

is enable automatic template effects part of it? I thought that was the graphic images in templates?

[coarse mesa]

presumably, but they might be linked

[vast bane]

does the dm always see templates?

[coarse mesa]

oh that could be it

[vast bane]

I tried FTC with just TMFX on and it still happened

tested on player client too, that setting does nothing for me

are you on v9 or v10?

[strong yew]

is it bad to put a warn notification as a response if the target resists the shove? I don't want to output all saves to chat, since I have that as just the GM rightn ow

So on a failed save > it lets you move them, on a success save > it outputs a ui warning of "target resists your shove"

If I just have it not continue, it just kind of doesn't do anything and seems off

[unique cape]

There's a shortbow and a rapier equipped, but the weapon in question was a consumable holy water with weapon ranged attack, default damage at 0 and other damage at 2d6 undead.

The weapons worked just fine, but the consumable did not

[coarse mesa]

Still on v9 rn

[coarse mesa]

I would use the blue notification (notify?)... yellow is a bit much lol

[strong yew]

ah ok thanks

[coarse mesa]

Pretty much how bugbear's works

That uses the names in the notification banners too

[unique cape]

So is it because there's a piercing weapon among equipped even though I used another?

[violet meadow]

Nope, it should check the weapon used for piercing damage.

[violet meadow]

what we doing?

[coarse mesa]

@strong yew is remaking your macro we gave them someone else yesterday 😆

[violet meadow]

if (!args[0].failedSaves) return;
``` stops if noone failed save

[coarse mesa]

@strong yew #macro-polo message

Note that's v9 tho, but you get the idea
Edit: just realised you're talking telekinetic still... anyway, this is good info on how to do notifications 🙂

[violet meadow]

Wait, were you attacking with holy water and the Piercer was getting activated?

[vast bane]

what is the base item of the holy water

[violet meadow]

I need to update Piercer and Slasher for v10 in the meantime too ✍️

[strong yew]

hmm, so doing it so it only continues if there are failed saves I tried if(result && args[0].failedSaves) but that returns true every time

but this if(result && args[0].failedSaves.length !==0) works correctly

[unique cape]

Yep. And it threw an error while doing so

[violet meadow]

Was the noDamage throwing it off? 🤔

[unique cape]

It didn't work for hoyl water, just no damage at all

[violet meadow]

Yeah cause you had it as noDamage

Lets take it back a bit. Is Piercer working OK by differentiating between piercing and non-piercing weapons?

[coarse mesa]

what's the result for?

I'm curious if you can get something going, my telekinetic shove could use some love lol

[strong yew]

a dialog popup I liked from crusher

I'll post it here, I wouldn't mind some critique since it's still early for me for creation

but it's working 100% so far so

is there a better way to post a whole codeblock than ``

[violet meadow]

```js
code here
```

[unique cape]

No, a handaxe also had a prompt

[coarse mesa]

👆 I don't know how to type that without it actually turning into a code block lol

[unique cape]

A holy water didn't even proc

[violet meadow]

OK are you on v10?

[unique cape]

As in, no damage roll

[unique cape]

Yep, latest everything except foundry itself - I believe one step behind the latest stable

[violet meadow]

that is a different issue probably. Any errors in console?

[violet meadow]

escape the backtics with \

[unique cape]

There was. You know, when I have access to foundry again, I will double check and get back to you with a proper log error and reproduced issue

Cause I can't right now unfortunately

This is a macro for Telekinetic Shove
mostly cannibalized from @dark canopy Crusher macro

[dark canopy]

Good Lord, lol

All that for a push?

[strong yew]

hmm, what do you guys do to get the formatting and color coding in your snippets?

[coarse mesa]

See bugbear's reply to you above 👆

#1010273821401555087 message

[strong yew]

that's what I did though

[coarse mesa]

I probably wouldn't bother with the dialog btw, but it is well done. I always want to move them when I hit the item in my hotbar

[dark canopy]

and if you are already using warpgate, might as well use its dialog helpers and reduce the boilerplate dialog code (if you are gonna keep it)

[strong yew]

the dialog box is straight from the crusher macro

I just changed the word "crusher" to "telekinetic shove" lol

[vast bane]

show us a snippet before you post a message on how you do code links here

[strong yew]

Fair point though, I'll just edit it. It's a little redundant to ask

const targetDoc = game.user.targets.first().document;

[spice kraken]

there's no js at the beginning on its own line

[strong yew]

lol, got it, I thought it was just "js code here" he was typing as an example

Thanks for clearing that up

[scarlet gale]

And if it's really long you can save it as a .js file and just drop the file here. It'll show up similar to the code block (at least for Desktop users)

[strong yew]

much better, thanks for that

[strong yew]

will keep that in mind

[vast bane]

you can't drag files to discord if discord has elevated access, which happens alot with some folks who use multiple cam/voice applications in windows

[dark canopy]

I've never heard of that one 🤣 and I'm a pro at breaking stuff

[scarlet gale]

I feel like there is a better fix for whatever issue you're having for that

Running Discord as elevated seems like a bad idea

[dark canopy]

Running apps elevated in general is a bad idea

Foundry included

[vast bane]

I dragged out the aura of protection using bab and I have no clue what it is doing, I feel like the menu is broken?
What is the point of a premade if I have to make it?

[violet meadow]

Where is that one on?

[vast bane]

its in the sidebar

[violet meadow]

When did you update babonus last?

[vast bane]

I will upddate now

can you only use bab when its on an actor?

I dragged the bab version to the paladin and rolled a save and its not showing a bonus

[strong yew]

Is there a midi flag for damage immunity?

Trying to make a CE for silence

[vast bane]

.di should autocomplete it for ya

[strong yew]

Ah yeah, don't know how I missed that, thanks

[vast bane]

just updated bab, went to midi sample items, dragged out bab version of aura of protect onto an actor, no saves are modded, when I click the badger icon at the top I get this:

[scarlet gale]

Anyone got a good chaos bolt macro? I was previously using ASE for it.

[violet meadow]

I can share mine later

v9 still though

[scarlet gale]

Sounds good, I'm sure it'll be easy enough to convert to v10

Is it the same one that you've previously posted when I search for it, or has it been changed since then?

[violet meadow]

Oh yeah I haven't used it yet on v10 and I forgot to update it

Not 100% sure I haven't changed anything though 🤔

[honest osprey]

is this a MIdI QOL setting? Or this from another Module to show the actual Roll of the D20 Dice just wondering if anyone would know?

[scarlet gale]

Part of me just wants to see how hard it would be to copy it from ASE and make it function without the module

[scarlet gale]

Looks like better rolls

Or whatever it's v10 version is called

[honest osprey]

better rolls ok i'll check it out thanks!

[vast bane]

that probably means showever that is, is crossing the streams

[scarlet gale]

I wouldn't use it

[vast bane]

does anybody here use the bab version of aura of protection in themidi sample items? I'm unable to understand what its purpose is. I drag it to a sheet and I don't know what it does no saves change at all

[strong yew]

Hey who was it that had a call lightning macro?

[violet meadow]

Do you roll ?

[scarlet gale]

I have one that uses warpgate

[strong yew]

bugbear did you finish it with the item creation?

[strong yew]

I'm trying to make vampiric touch and it seems like a good candidate for a similar approach

[scarlet gale]

I have one of those too lol

[violet meadow]

What the Bab like?

[strong yew]

interesting. Does it use itemcreate?

[violet meadow]

Warpgate! 😅

[scarlet gale]

I mutate the token to give it an extra feature

[strong yew]

Or whatever the thing is called

yeah that

[scarlet gale]

I also auto favorite it

[strong yew]

Could I get those from you? lol

[violet meadow]

Oh my summoning spell worked

[dark canopy]

here is a recent "action grant" script i wrote for dragon's breath, but the same idea is easily applied to many others. https://ko-fi.com/post/Badger-Scripts-Dragons-Breath-spell-M4M3GED2E

[violet meadow]

@vast bane that's nothing actually. Just empty 🤔

[scarlet gale]

I actually have plans to rework both my call lightning and vampiric touch for v10. So you might want bugbears unless his is also out of date

[vast bane]

I made a midi compatible aura of vitality that is the same concept but the WG wiki for creating an item, is perfectly setup with a midi example

[gilded yacht]

I'm not seeing that behaviour, can you export the actor that is causing the problem? And screen shot you item-delete settings?

[strong yew]

Thanks! think I may use this for moonbeam too for the time being until I can figure out the auras on template stuff

I think the aura one works if the target starts their turn in there

but I tried to do the other part with entering for the first time as well and couldn't get it to work

but I was looking at spirit guardians and have gotten a lot more comfortable since then so I may retry

the midi spirit guardians that checks for first entry I mean

Or actually, for something like vampiric touch, I wonder if I could do something like the new hunters mark tposney posted? Just have a check to see if it's already being concentrated on and skip the dialogue to consume a resource while keeping the concentration duration consistent

[vast bane]

I dm'ed the info requestd, fwiw it only seems to happen on the players sheets, starter heroes are not having the issue.

[coarse mesa]

badger icon 🤣

[gilded yacht]

It should be passing the right thing. What is you new DamageOnlyWorkflow call?

[vast bane]

if you click on them the left one changes color and the right one does a barrel roll. Love it

[dark canopy]

i think they are otters?

[vast bane]

I just kinda assumed hehe

[coarse mesa]

yea, but should be beavers imo

otters only pretend to build

[vast bane]

are you seeing it too or do I got issues?

[coarse mesa]

You can put babonuses on the item or on the AE… did you check both?

[vast bane]

yes, and exporting the data I can clearly see babonus entries in the json.

[coarse mesa]

OK maybe @molten solar’s UI overhaul broke Tim’s pre-made?

Deliberately?

[scarlet gale]

https://github.com/MrPrimate/ddb-importer/blob/48faa957a8a010886b3e614df3ce545cf5a54a43/macros/spells/chromaticOrb.js

Was using this one from the ddb importer. It works without issue when not using the cover thing.

(The macro has since been changed to edit the workflow and not use a damage only workflow)

[molten solar]

That's a pre-v10.2 bonus right there.

The automatic migration would have updated all items in all unlocked compendiums.

[coarse mesa]

I see why you don’t like sample compendiums

[molten solar]

Can't say it's a great concern of mine. The API has a function to update a pack. 👍

[vast bane]

k I'll just issue it in midi

unless someones got a functional I can send tposney

[coarse mesa]

You can build it @vast bane - I believe in you

[violet meadow]

Dead and Unconscious are the Blocking conditions

[molten solar]

In fear of measuring on the Richter scale with the ensuring eye rolling I am about to provoke...

[vast bane]

wouldn't that block people who recieve the bonus too?

[coarse mesa]

The aura shuts down if you’re KO’d

[molten solar]

All fields that are a semicolon separated list of conditions are not validated for their contents (except trailing spaces). You can make it work for non-CE users too.

[vast bane]

oh ok so its a condition for the owner not for beneficiaries

[violet meadow]

Granted

[molten solar]

The core status ids are 'dead' and 'unconscious'.

[molten solar]

Correct.

[violet meadow]

I just used the keys from the list 🤷

[molten solar]

The tooltips should explain it all.

[vast bane]

Thanks guys

[molten solar]

Well I had to supply some, didn't I

[violet meadow]

you did well

[molten solar]

It's just all the ids from CONFIG.statusEffects, which CE changes

[coarse mesa]

I sensed no eye rolling

[violet meadow]

nah its fine

[molten solar]

The neat thing with that is that you can make any effect you like, give it a status id, put the same status id in the babonus, and boom, hunter's mark, hex, hexblade's curse, all the marks

[violet meadow]

Yeah, I went the long way around, cause why not ... and got some flags going to get only the correct targets to trigger the Mark

but its sexy!

[molten solar]

(and for you DAE folks: The 'force display on token' is the status id field.)

[coarse mesa]

That actually would make it super easy to move your mark 🤔

While keeping the same spell running

[molten solar]

That's the idea.

[coarse mesa]

Hex is a little more fiddly due to the debuff being variable

[molten solar]

I don't actually remember what hex does lol I just know I'm in a campaign where a player uses babonus for it

[coarse mesa]

Tbh the hex debuff doesn’t really need automation

Just disadv to ability checks of one stat (not saves)

Is there a way for babonus to work only on one successful attack per round (thinking Favored Foe)?

[molten solar]

Define 'successful attack' and let us remind ourselves that the babonus dev is not a Midi user.

[violet meadow]

Yes. EM after damage roll, make the babonus inactive and activate at combat start and combat turn start

Or actually not combat start

but you get the idea

[coarse mesa]

You get to apply it to one hit, so if you miss you could use the bonus on your second attack. But only once per round

[vast bane]

I just throw favored foe and hmark on the advantage reminders lol

[violet meadow]

What I have done in a similar fashion is have the babonus as inactive on the Item. When rolled, activate it and then play with turns etc making inactive/active

[molten solar]

Oh. Well if it doesn't matter if you miss 17 times in a row before your first hit, then that's easy yeah. Disable it after the first damage roll, re-enable it when your turn starts.

[vast bane]

favored foe is a You can feature so you have to use the always prompt method unless the player wants to play it like always first damage

[coarse mesa]

Yeah true

[vast bane]

You can means player decides when it applies

[coarse mesa]

Might be better as a babonus toggle

[vast bane]

sneak attack I think is the same way

but the normal midi methods treat it as first damage

[violet meadow]

Auto sneak does that. Otherwise it posts a dialog

[coarse mesa]

I think midi prompts on every valid hit until you use it

[scarlet gale]

Only if you don't use autosneak

[vast bane]

it is also kinda rare for a rogue to get 2 attacks, they'd have to two weapon fight or multiclass 5 into another martial

or be hasted

[coarse mesa]

It’s actually really slick, we often find midi correcting us on when we can use sneak

[scarlet gale]

Midi works fine when they get a reaction attack IIRC

[vast bane]

in my first campaign our rogue player was constantly trying to bargain for sneak so I never had to worry about it being forgotten lol

[coarse mesa]

Sometimes you miss that an ally is nearby etc

[honest osprey]

when you're using midi-qol do you need both of these or just the second one?

[scarlet gale]

Only the bottom one

IIRC DAE SRD is defunct

[vast bane]

the million dollar question is why does dae SRD install in v10 but midi srd needs a fork lol

same with better rolls for 5e that thing somehow survives to be a problem in v10

[coarse mesa]

It seems like a lot of folk are using Module Management + ... it's a shame incompatibilities aren't showing in there a bit more (aside from Tidy UI and MM+). Like the whole ghostbusters thing could be cut right down if those were flagged. But I guess that's on the devs

The feature is there, it's just not being utilised

[vast bane]

I assumed at first that the old modules would not install kinda how drag ruler and midi srd behaved

but apparently some modules make it in

[inland fossil]

Is there anyone that can make a world script that can make -1 to all rolls for each point of health that is missing from a token? Snippet included to show -1's

[strange dagger]

What are some basic things I can do with midiqol to help myself, given I know nothing about it as of right now?

[vast bane]

typically you don't install a module blindly, you are suggested it to solve a problem or make something simpler

[molten solar]

Build-a-Bonus can do this.

Not for the ability checks and init tho

[errant gull]

Am I crazy? Or did using Parry used to negate damage? I could have sworn you could use Parry, get the popup, use it, and it'd negate the damage if the boost to your AC was enough. Now the popup occurs, but I still take damage.

[vast bane]

did they still hit?

[errant gull]

No. AC is 15, with Parry it's a 17, the attack was a 15.

[vast bane]

show me the chat

(witholding a don't cross the streams warning)

[errant gull]

Just in case anyone else looks at this, we DMd, I needed to create a Dfred's Convenient Effect for Parry.

[keen mango]

At one point I updated to 0.9.74 and saw that the concentration icon would also have the spell that was being concentrated on. Has an option been added to not have the text float up stating what the spell is?

[vast bane]

floating text in core settings I believe, in v9 midi you can't turn off the template setting that you speak of, in v10 you can.

[obsidian orbit]

is there a macro formula to do half damage? I want to create an effect that applies on hit, that makes their next attack do half damage

[vast bane]

how often are you going to reference this feature, if its a throwaway, I'd just put a blank effect in and manually handle it in the damage card

[obsidian orbit]

definitely something I considered. But this is a magicial property that could get applied to a players weapon. (depends on roll tables to come up) IF that feature does get rolled. It could potentially come up every round.

[strong yew]

what's the proper way to call a preItemRoll?

Is this incorrect?

[scarlet gale]

There a module that can give a detection mode with an effect?

[strong yew]

Is there a way I can call the item macro on concentration loss?

[coarse mesa]

ATL can do that now unless I’m mistaken. Details are on Kandashi’s server

[scarlet gale]

Oh cool

I figured, but I didn't see it on the documentation

[coarse mesa]

Kaelad made it happen

[coarse mesa]

#853039153758601226 message

[coarse mesa]

I think you might be able to have Effect Macro trigger on effect delete (midi can remove AEs with concentration loss)

[scarlet gale]

Not in that server lol

[coarse mesa]

https://discord.gg/uEqsKCnS

[violet meadow]

Yeah incorrect. That is a DAE execution method of a macro.
It will always be executed when the effect is created or deleted or if you have a repetitive option selected in the duration tab of the effect.

If you want to execute a macro preItemRoll, you will need to use a MidiQol onUse macro, calling it from the corresponding field in the Item's Details tab when you edit it

[violet meadow]

When is this supposed to be applied? During a specific weapon attack? You might get away with creating an effect on that attack that will give damage resistance on the target for 1 attack.
But that means you will need to be sure that the next attack on the target will be made by the creature you want to do the half damage.

Other than that you could use an onUse macro on the weapon, which will be looking for a specific flag to designate when you need to do half damage and then set the damage roll to what it needs to be.

But would need some more info as to how frequently that is happening. Like, is it like every other hit of the specific weapon no matter what?

[strong yew]

If you have multiple BonusDamage macros, how does it determine which one gets processed first?

[violet meadow]

I imagine whichever is first in the Special Traits of the character sheet, but not sure

[scarlet gale]

I'm having trouble understanding the API docs for warpgate. Is there a method to find if a specific mutation name exists on token?

warpgate.mutationStack(tokenDoc).getName It appears

[violet meadow]

I have to say, I love MidiQOL + Babonus interaction 😄

[scarlet gale]

I'm still surprised Zhell made did some work for compatibility

[scarlet gale]

Oh neat

I just finally got my own game on v10 now. So I've been modernizing all my old automations. I really need to check what can be done with that module too

[signal kettle]

Hey guys, what does everyone use here to incorporate cover mechanics to MIDIQOL automation ? Is there a way we can change the cover condition of combatants manually?

[scarlet gale]

Convenient effects has some premade effects if you want to handle it manually, otherwise Midi in v10 has built in support for a few cover modules

Simbul's Cover and Levels Auto Cover

I personally use the 2nd

[molten solar]

To be fair, it was one line of code.

[sudden crane]

I just see a problem with the damage flavor… It will be ignored in the auto damage application if the target has slashing damage resistance…

[violet meadow]

I just posted to show that. In my case it works as intended.

The [babonus] or whatever flavor, makes the damageType to be of the 1st available same type as the main damage. So slashing. And it works as needed for the Hunter's Mark, respecting the damage resistance of the target against Slashing.

[sudden crane]

@violet meadow Ok, so no flavor or an unknown flavor of damage equals to the one from the first line of the damage parts

[scarlet gale]

@gilded yacht Don't suppose we can get a Special Duration for DAE for "Rolls a concentration save"

[violet meadow]

Hunter's Mark with MidiQOL and Babonus with DFreds CE.
You need:

1. MidiQOL adding an Effect on the target with a statusId of Convenient Effect: Hunter's Mark - Thorin (using the caster's token name to differentiate)

2. On the Hunter's Mark Spell, a babonus as shown in the attachment, with a target condition filter of: Convenient Effect: Hunter's Mark - Thorin

---

Optional (using Effect Macro).
3. For changing targets, a custom DFreds, with a Force display on token Convenient Effect: Hunter's Mark - Thorin and an EM which will take care of grabbing the correct duration remaining and changing the initial concentration effect targets (...).

4. The player to change the target will need a macro that will add the effect to a new target and delete it from the older one or if they have permission to use the DFreds CE button on the Token Controls sidebar, use that instead

If someone doesn't care for the duration and targets changing, the whole thing takes 1 minute to setup 😄

Take care that you'll need to make sure, if you use the link concentration to effect in MidiQOL settings, add first the new target and then delete the old one if you use the DFreds button

Forgot to include the EM macro on the DFreds CE (will link a new post here to actually fit better)
<#1010273821401555087 message>

[molten solar]

Deleting it from the old target can just be added to the EM as well when you set the duration

[violet meadow]

Yeah I didn't mention it explicitly, but it was meant to be included in the "changing of the initial concentration effect targets".

[sudden crane]

What’s your use case?

[scarlet gale]

Blood Curse of the Muddled Mind

The cursed target has disadvantage on the next CON saving throw it makes to maintain concentration before the end of your next turn.

Would be fairly simple with a special duration of next concentration save.

Right now I have it at con save, and that could be triggered from something else

[orchid folio]

Is there a default Midi-QOL settings file I can use to get a fresh start? Or someway to otherwise reset to how it was initially configured?

[violet meadow]

Go to Midi Settings => Workflow Settings => QuickSettings

You can click the No automation probably

[orchid folio]

That didn't quite do it. I'll see if re-installing the module gets me there

[vast bane]

make a fresh world with just libwrapper, socketlib, and midi. Export those settings, import to your main world

[violet meadow]

Yeah that would do it. I wonder what is different to no automation now 😄

Maybe the outer menu settings 🤷

[vast bane]

Some stuff is never touched by quick settings

[orchid folio]

Exporting settings from a fresh world seemed to work. I was trying to customize saving throw,card, and damage display settings for players triggering a trap, and somehow lost the damage display along the way

[spark briar]

Does anyone know how that the premade "deflect missiles" works?
It ether always calculates the damage reduction, or never. I feel like I'm missing something.

[violet meadow]

Are you using it as a MidiQOL Reaction?

Meaning is MidiQOL reaction processing setting on and does a hit on the actor with that feature trigger the Deflect Missiles reaction?

[vast bane]

the premade deflect missiles, last I checked is improperly setup, it expends a ki point every time its used

you only spend ki to return the ammo

[violet meadow]

Effect Macro for the Hunter's Mark changing targets to be used with <#1010273821401555087 message> ```js

if (initialTargetEffect) await MidiQOL.socket().executeAsGM("removeEffects", { actorUuid: initialTargetActor.uuid, effects: [initialTargetEffect.id]});

[spark briar]

Yes, because it does ask for reactions like slow fall.

[spark briar]

It has never given a prompt and always activates.

[strong yew]

And maybe a min on concentration save if you are already in there

For Starry form Dragon getting min10 on Concentration saves

[violet meadow]

Have you created a Ki resource on the actor? If it has no uses left, it will not prompt you to use it as a reaction

[strong yew]

Does this add the bonus to the original roll?

I was asking about the order of DamageBonus macros when working on Piercer last night

Right now it works, but if you crit, it doesn't let you choose to reroll from all 3 dice including the extra die you get

[violet meadow]

I had made this <#macro-polo message>
I will take another look on that later

[violet meadow]

What do you mean? Its a babonus damage bonus when the target has the correct effect on

[strong yew]

Ah, I thought it might be useable to create a bonus for piercer

but that doesn't put an effect on the target

[violet meadow]

It would work. nvm its for a crit.

[strong yew]

Basically, if on a crit, instead of doing Main roll + Bonus Damage roll for extra piercer die

I'm looking to do Die + Crit + Bonus Die on one roll

But I wonder if I could do a like post hit roll call or something

intercept the incoming formula, and then alter it, and send it back?

[violet meadow]

So you dont want the damageBonus because its a different roll?

[strong yew]

Yeah, so that way the "reroll" part can look at all three dice rolled and the player can reroll the lowest of the three

cause on a crit right now, they have to choose if they reroll the original die + crit before the DamageBonus even comes out

[violet meadow]

But does the Piercer work like that?

So if they reroll a 3 on the first die + crit, but then get a 1 on the bonus die

they can't reroll that 1 even though it's on the same turn

and they'd have chosen that instead

Isn't it? Once per turn reroll one piercing die

I'd typically have my player roll die + crit + bonus all at once, then choose the lowest of those three to reroll if they wanted

irl of course

I did and he does.

Huh, but then hunter's mark actually is the original damage type too isn't it

[violet meadow]

OK hmm. Try the babonus but instead of putting the 1d6 in the Damage Bonus use Critical Damage

[violet meadow]

It is

If the Deflect Missiles is the only reaction that is not getting triggered, you probably have something set incorrectly.

The triggering part at least works OK for me

I'm using this example as the basis for a basic exploding mine trap, combining MidiQOL, Sequencer, and Monk's Active Tiles: https://github.com/fantasycalendar/FoundryVTT-Sequencer/wiki/Traps-with-effects-and-optional-damage-with-MidiQOL
My macro looks like this:

//const trapActor = game.actors.getName("Trap: Mine APL6");
const trapActor = await fromUuid("Compendium.helianas-guide.creatures-polyhedrooze.uHcWlvs1jG9GPhl2");
const trapItem = trapActor.items.getName("Dynamite");

new MidiQOL.TrapWorkflow(trapActor, trapItem, [token]);

Hooks.once("midi-qol.RollComplete", async function(result) {

    new Sequence().wait(100)
    .effect()
        .file("modules/JB2A_DnD5e/Library/Generic/Explosion/Explosion_01_Orange_400x400.webm")
        .atLocation(token)
    .play()
});

I've tried removing all MidiQOL roll automation in the settings, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to let the triggering actor manually make the saving throw. I wouldn't mind it if the end result was just displaying the item card and letting the group resolve through the damage/save buttons

Well the idea is a magic weapon that “saps” the enemy’s ability to fight back. So on hit the enemy would need to make a con save or their next attack would deal half damage. So if possible I’d want an effect applied to target that expires after the next attack that hits. I have figured out how to do all that I just don’t have a formula to make it do half. Only reduces damage by a specific number.

I've tried the No Automation setting and setting auto check saves to off. Are there any other ideas?

I've had some issues with rolling last night - weapon attacks wouldn't roll when players pressed the thumbnail of the weapon in their inventory. I've recently transitioned away from Better rolls to fully midiqol. Is there a setting I have missed or is it just a item bug? They had to click on the item, and then press 'Standard roll'..

[spark briar]

And you just have the premade one? Nothing extra?

[violet meadow]

Hmm what do you have here?

Did you change the Resource Consumption to match the Ki resource attribute?

[violet meadow]

Had you enabled the client side MidiQOL settings for your players?

Do you have any screenshots of what you mean?

[vast bane]

link the reaction to the resource, common mistake when dragging items out to actors, and also it needs to be a resource, not an item with charges.

[violet meadow]

Also change the Deflect Missiles DAE effect from ADD to CUSTOM as a step further.

*at least I think you need to... I cannot check it now 😄 *

[idle crypt]

If it's what you do under the Player section in midi qol settings I have. Not on my PC now, but imagine the output card is just the name of the item, without any other information. No roll or anything.

[violet meadow]

Does the Dynamite Item have a saving throw set?

If yes, just remove it and let do damage. Then have the players roll manually and adjust the damage for each of them
