MidiQOL

[coarse mesa]

we did cross paths with them but didn't finish them off

[vast bane]

My players needed someone that was hateable, and those two were perfect

[mint nexus]

so does anyone have a way to automate wildfire druid's enhanced bond? i don't know if midi and dae can do it or if i need to get bab or what

[violet meadow]

Better share a small description of said ability

From MidiQOL readme (just for the long discussion about the Warpick above :P):

Because of the way the SRD monsters have been set up, (i.e. extra damage as versatile damage and the versatile property not set) the versatile formula will be treated as Other Damage if there is no Other Damage formula and the weapon property "versatile" is not set.

[spice kraken]

For the healing, you can use system.bonuses.heal.damage | Add | + whatever the bonus is

[mint nexus]

Whenever you cast a spell that deals fire damage or restores hit points while your wildfire spirit is summoned, roll a d8, and you gain a bonus equal to the number rolled to one damage or healing roll of the spell.

[coarse mesa]

@vast bane if you have anyone in the party using the Hide action you should check out the Stealthy module that just dropped.

Our player that has been specifically playing a Gloomstalker for DotMM, because dungeon and dark... is so miffed (we've moved onto something else)

Umbral Sight actually works properly with Stealthy

[violet meadow]

Ah hmm that is slightly different than what I thought it was when I shared the babonus one in #dnd5e

The bonus is equal to one of the results of the dice rolled?!

[mint nexus]

so like if i cast scorching ray only one ray gets the extra d8

[violet meadow]

Smell like macros needed

Or an optional bonus with Midi and a count of turn Nah, heal damage it can do, fire damage from spell specifically cannot without a macro

[coarse mesa]

Smells a bit like Divine Fury tbh

Could also be a job for Babonus?

[violet meadow]

yeah kind of. There is a Cleric's ability similar to that too

[coarse mesa]

Blessed Strikes

[violet meadow]

Yeah. Was intended as a reply to Divine Fury comment though, not Bab

#dnd5e message

This would still need a macro and an EM. Turn it OFF when used, turn it ON on turn start or turn end (if it needs to be used out of turn too)

[coarse mesa]

I had a great Blessed Strikes going in v9. I probably yoinked it from you

[mint nexus]

it doesn't specify any limitations on how many times you can use it, just that it doesn't apply to multiple damage rolls from one spell

[violet meadow]

You would need to roll each attack individually with MidiQOL probably anyways, right?

So when used once, it needs to be turned OFF. This should cut it 🤔

[mint nexus]

yes so yes

[violet meadow]

Can you use it out of turn?

[mint nexus]

it doesn't specify any limitations on when i can use it

any time i cast a fire spell, with no restrictions on when i cast that fire spell, it gets an extra 1d8 damage, but only to one of the damage rolls

[violet meadow]

Alright let me grab a coffee and will cook it up

[cerulean ocean]

Is there a way to hide the midiqol calculations on rolls and the info on a weapon like how damage is calculated?

Wanted to do a cool thing where players use weapons to discover their qualities

[violet meadow]

I think that optional bonus effects could be expanded to deal with that tbh. Maybe I will bug tposney for that 🤔

[mint nexus]

i was able to make an active effect that applies the bonus that i can turn off after the first shot with scorching ray

[violet meadow]

Hmm have you played around the settings for what is shown on the cards?

[cerulean ocean]

Oh I have not.

Thank you. I'll look through those

[vast bane]

I use a pretty dope setup for stealth now

[coarse mesa]

I was contemplating putting something together and then this module popped up and saved me a lot of trouble 😅

[vast bane]

I don't really need a module for outside combat and inside combat I got a macro made to handle it well

I use honeybadgers philosophy of not banking the roll, but instead rolling when its challenged

So the player and the target do a stealth vs perception contest and if he wins he gets advantage

[coarse mesa]

You could still do that but yeah

[vast bane]

my campaigns very totm outside combat like mercer's crit role so I don'tneed out of combat stealth stuff

[violet meadow]

Oh lol, just realised that there are many features that don't need anymore making sure you calculate the correct timings of usage in macros.

Use it, toggle the AE related to it off, and turn it on using EM on combat turn start (and combat turn end if it is to be used of turn too...)

[coarse mesa]

Yeah I knew EM would change the game in here. In some cases it is nice to have all the code in one box though

Mainly when posting on here so I can yoink 😂

[clear kernel]

oh wow this module's fantastic

[molten solar]

still nope

[jagged remnant]

Hi all, i'd like to set up a weapon to heal its wielder a flat 2HP on hits, i thought this should be fairly simple to do using the "on use macro" field but unfortunately i know absolutely no javascript, can someone point me in the right direction?

[violet meadow]

if (!!args[0].hitTargets.length) await token.actor.applyDamage(-2);

[violet meadow]

Do you use Effect Macro module? I can share an item which will deal with all you need if you import it and drag it on a character sheet

[violet meadow]

Enhanced Bond MIdiQOL, DAE, Effect Macro.
Feature with 2 DAE, both Transfer to Actor on Item Equip.

1. Named Enhanced Bond with an effect of flags.dnd5e.DamageBonusMacro | Custom | ItemMacro.Enhanced Bond
2. Named Enhanced Bond checker with Effect Macros for Combat Starting, Combat Ending, Combat Turn Start, Combat Turn End with this macro ```js
   await token.actor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label === "Enhanced Bond").update({disabled:false})

The feature's ItemMacro should be ```js
const types = ["healing","fire"]
let damageTypes = args[0].damageDetail
for (let other of args[0].otherDamageDetail) {
    damageTypes.push(other)
}
damageTypes = damageTypes.map(i=>i.type)
if (types.some(i=>damageTypes.includes(i))) {
    const dmgType = types.find(i=>damageTypes.includes(i)) 
    const diceMult = args[0].isCritical ? 2 : 1;
    if (game.combat) await token.actor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label === "Enhanced Bond").update({disabled:true})
    return {damageRoll: `${diceMult}d8[${dmgType}]`, flavor: "Enhanced Bond"};
}

If you want to name it something else, make sure that you will change all the relevant entries to the new name.

[white turtle]

Having a bit of trouble with concentrator, for some reason it's not removing the concentration on a failed save, even though the chat prompt is showing up in chat, but once the saving throw is rolled, nothing happens. Concentration is still removed when time expires, though. Also damage is applied manually through the token hp box thingy, if that matters, and these are the settings I have on

[violet meadow]

Strange. Can you check with only MidiQOL and its dependencies socketlib and libwrapper to see if you have the same result?

Any other Roller modules enabled?

And versions of Foundry, System, MidiQOL?

[white turtle]

latest foundry, system and midiqol, no other rollers enabled, but yeah I'm about to test it in a fresh game see if it gives me the same issue

I was previously using CUB but CUB didn't remove concentration when the spell expired, so was trying to give midiqol conc automation a try but now it wont properly do the saves for me but it removes it on expiry lol

Yeah okay even in a fresh game with just midi installed the saving throw doesnt seem to be doing anything lol

game's messing with me I think

[violet meadow]

Save your MIdiQOL settings and try quickly importing mine and then testing again.

By save I mean go to MidiQOL settings => Workflow settings => Misc tab, hit export and save them locally and then import mine

[white turtle]

Okay that works, it even autorolled the save without even prompting a roll, which I dont prefer but I can work backwards from there and see if I can get it to work with my preferred rolling settings

Oh, well I think i'm stupid, I guess concentrator needs auto-check saves to be on, not sure why I didnt even consider that lol

I thought it'd be its own thing lol

well my bad, thank you

[young owl]

is there a way to do damage reduction in 5e? (like older editions, DR/10 being reduce all damage by 10)

[violet meadow]

Use DAE and it's auto completion

Type in DR

To not be confused with keys including dr which are damage resistance

[young owl]

ah, wasn't sure that was any different from the normal one

so should be?

for DR/10?

yep. worked, thanks much!

[meager granite]

Someone informed me that Midi qol can do some card merging?! Digging through the options now, can someone let me know where these live?

[vast sierra]

(if you do that, you can no longer right click to apply damage, so make sure you are using damage cards OR enable buttons)

[meager granite]

How did I miss that option? I was SPECIFICALLY looking for it! :/

[vast sierra]

Forest for all the trees something something 🌲 😉

[meager granite]

Awww, it doesn't roll dice when I enable that. Is there an option to preserve rolling dice?

[vast sierra]

Having that on should have 0 effect on 3D dice appearing (or not) 🤔

[meager granite]

Let me turn it off real quick. I've only been fiddling with MIDI QoL settings and rolls stopped

Yep, turning off the merging brought back die rolls

Aaaaaand, there's an option for that too. Problem solved.

[fast stone]

Is there a way to disable resistances for a token with an active effect? I see that system.traits.dr.custom will enable them, but I can't figure out how to turn them off on a character that has them.

I will answer my own question. Just scroll down on system.traits.dr.value. There's a -trait option. Hopefully useful to the next guy.

[spice kraken]

You could add vulnerability if you know for sure they have that resistance

That'll cancel each other out

[meager granite]

If I am using the "fast Forward" option on my damage rolls as the DM, how do I roll crit damage in the event of a natural 20?

Nevermind. It does it on its own. Sorry about these silly questions.

[fickle sleet]

Hello! Is it possible to have a macro directly be used for damage?

Like having this type of pop up automatically appear through a macro

rather than having to go through the Attack Roll pop up?

[violet meadow]

Try this, using the actual name of the item inside the quotes, while having the relevant token selected ```js
await token.actor.items.getName("name of the item").rollDamage()

[fickle sleet]

Hmmmm

Okay first of all my laptop overheated and shut down
But

Right before it shut down, I tried that, but I got like a furnace macro error

Checking the console, it said that the function didnt exist

I have midi qol and furnace installed

[scarlet gale]

@covert mason I finally got around to testing my Cloudkill automation on newer advanced macros versions. It appears to be working for me fine. I've updated the export and macros on my Github to make sure I didn't accidently have an old one one posted there.

[violet meadow]

Which foundry version are you on? Furnace is deprecated anyways.

[fickle sleet]

Ahhhh

Hmm

Im on 9.0

I havent updated to 10 because i wasnt sure how much of the modules i installed would break lol

Though i am currenrly testing on a duplicated world 🤔

[violet meadow]

@fickle sleet edited... damageRoll should be rollDamage()...

[fickle sleet]

Lol hahaha

[violet meadow]

Most of the modules by now have been updated. Some older ones deprecated, with others picking up their place, but for sure there might be some gone.

[fickle sleet]

Just got home, booting up my laptop again with a fan cooler

Going to try it now

after my wifi also boots up

I think im going to start and try playing around and develop macros

My biggest issue rn is that im still pretty unfamiliar with javascript, and theres a lot of object names and functions that i dont get/dont know the name of

Still trying to figure all of this out

[violet meadow]

#macro-polo can help with most of the questions and searching through uncovers lots and lots of knowledge
#1010273821401555087 for more specific macros to this module
Google also helps a lot

[fickle sleet]

I feel like ive been playing with so many modules for so long now that i have forgotten whats vanilla foundry and what came from a module LMAO

Didnt even realize that what i was searching for a midi qol specific thing until a person pointed me here hahaha

[violet meadow]

That macro is not MidiQOL specific. Its a Foundry function

[fickle sleet]

Also awesome

Yep! It did exactly what I wanted it to

Thanks!

[coarse mesa]

Is this a good macro to pop damage buttons in VAE?

I was curious how you were going about that, as a best practice. I know Moto's method but thought there might be a more direct way

[violet meadow]

You could do that if you want to only trigger damage from an item with attack roll defined.
Or create an ephemeral item to roll that does only damage as needed

[coarse mesa]

Yeah I'm thinking of spells like Heat Metal where you can choose to use your bonus action to just do damage (no attack roll)

I'm not sure what ephemeral items are... cool name though!

[fickle sleet]

hmm

i'm quite confused now
it isn't applying damage to targeted tokens

i'm not even sure what it's applying damage onto

[violet meadow]

The macro will just trigger the core rollDamage() Foundry function.
You then **select **the token you want, right click on the chat card and apply the damage.

It just triggers the damage dialog as you showed.

What are you trying to do specifically?

[violet meadow]

You can create on the code for VAE a temporary item that has only the damage roll and use that to roll when clicked upon

No need to create an actual item on the character sheet to do that for instance

[coarse mesa]

OK I think I get it... is there a clean example of an ephemeral item I can use for reference? thanks for the lesson btw

[violet meadow]

#1010273821401555087 message

Something like that

[fickle sleet]

hmm okay I think I kind of realized what's going on
it's super weird

What I wanted it to do is for my player to press a single macro, and that macro will trigger the rollDamage() function. And after rolling for damage, the damage is automatically applied to a targeted enemy

and well, I kind of wanted the player to roll the damage of his Dagger and the Green Flame Blade Spell consecutively without having to roll for the attack for each

[violet meadow]

Is this for a specific item only?

Ah ok I see. Does the green flame blade have an attack?

[fickle sleet]

In most cases, it is doing that
but well

I can't automatically trigger the macro.
I first have to do an "initial" attack using an the item and the spell
this kind of makes the game flag which tokens are being targeted

and after that, I can keep spamming the macro, and it will only target the tokens that was initially targeted by the weapon and spell attacks earlier

[fickle sleet]

It does have an attack in foundry, which is what I don't want - since the attack of the Green Flame Blade spell is supposed to be Weapon attack

[violet meadow]

You can just change the Green flame blade to not have an attack roll and just use it after the original attack

[fickle sleet]

hmm how would I do that?

🤔

[violet meadow]

Edit the spell

Make it utility in activation type

Action Type 🤔

Keep confusing these two

[fickle sleet]

Ah perfect that solves my green flame blade issue
But is there a way to kind of fix the initial weapon attack issue?

Currently the macro triggers the rollDamage() for the weapon, and then activates Green Flame Blade afterwards

But once again, the damage Macro won't target a targeted token unless I specifcally initially do an attack roll via the weapon in the player's Inventory

and after that initial attack, the damage Macro will only target that actor, even when the actor is killed

Hmmmmm I probably can fix this just by having 2 separate macros actually...
one for the initial hit, and the second if my player is hitting the same person 🤔

[violet meadow]

If you change the spell, try dragging it from the character sheet to the hotbar. That should create a shortcut to rolling it from the hotbar.

Using that, should just create a proper MidiQOL workflow, respecting the target and such

[fickle sleet]

Ah well that was what I was hoping for
but well... I have never made a Midi QOL workflow before hahahah

hm I guess that's just my queue to start researching and learning I guess

[violet meadow]

When using MidiQOL, every item roll creates a specific workflow which you can manipulate in certain stages.

[fickle sleet]

alright, thanks!

[low trench]

I'm trying to figure out how to apply a random damage type from a list... to a cantrip. I'm not very good with Macros. Any help would be appreciated. I'll even buy you a drink or a dinner! (I don't mind paying people for their work.)

I'm trying to create a Prismatic Bolt Cantrip for my Wild Magic Sorcerer who really likes random things. I'm going to have it do a 1d12 dice (raw power and unpredictable results). I would like it to pull from the more elemental side of damage: fire, cold, lightning, thunder, acid, and poison.

I was told to come here from the community helpers. I'd like it to work with Midi. Attached mods using to do combat. I don't even mind sharing this with the community when its done. Hoping someone can help.

[violet meadow]

If you don't need it right now, I can share something later tonight.

For the damageType part probably have shared something in the past 🤔

[low trench]

My session isn't till monday so I'm in no rush and even then it wouldn't be a big deal. 👍

[charred acorn]

Is there one of these optional flags for initiative?
The guidance spell should affect initiative as far as I know but I'm having trouble getting the spell to do it while providing a choice if they use it

[violet meadow]

Nope. It’s a DnD5e system limitation as there aren’t any hooks for preRollInitiative or something similar, so no way for MidiQOL to come in and apply some optional bonus, like the rest of the situations covered by guidance

[violet meadow]

So, if the attack hits, do you want it to roll a d12 and get one type of damage from the ones you mentioned. 1-2 fire, 3-4 cold etc?

[low trench]

I think so. I don’t want it to be based on the damage dice rolled.

[violet meadow]

ItemMacro | Before Damage Roll onUse item macro ```js
const roll = await new Roll('1d12').evaluate()
const msg = await roll.toMessage({flavor:"Damage type decider"})
await game.dice3d?.waitFor3DAnimationByMessageID(msg.id)
let damageType;
if (roll.total < 3) damageType = "fire"
else if (roll.total < 5) damageType = "cold"
else if (roll.total < 7) damageType = "lightning"
else if (roll.total < 9) damageType = "thunder"
else if (roll.total < 11) damageType = "acid"
else damageType = "poison"
this.item.system.damage.parts[0][1] = damageType

[coarse mesa]

Could roll a d6 for those damage types, but I guess a d12 looks scarier!

[molten solar]

2.1.0 🙂

Which ... is getting pretty far up there
Issue: https://github.com/foundryvtt/dnd5e/issues/1997

(It was at 47% two days ago.)

vanishes

[violet meadow]

indeed but 🤷 😄

[molten solar]

Using a d6 will also let you write some neater code

[violet meadow]

yea

but d12 was the ask 😄

[molten solar]

const type = {
  1: "fire",
  2: "cold",
  etc
}[roll.total];

[violet meadow]

ooh just assigned

[molten solar]

Though you could just floor it with a d12

[coarse mesa]

We don’t get to roll enough d12s, fair

[spice kraken]

Which one is it Zhell?????

[molten solar]

Well it sure as fuck isn't 47 anymore

[coarse mesa]

Have they been trimming… or were there a lot of things hanging in the wind that just needed a little tickle up?

[molten solar]

iirc it was like 65 / 68 (open/closed)

so uhhh

Shit got done?

[coarse mesa]

Was not expecting that over new years

[molten solar]

I've no doubt drugs were involved.

[coarse mesa]

Copious amounts

[molten solar]

I helped /s

[violet meadow]

they are all getting ready for THE stream event of 2023 😄

https://youtu.be/VOz4uFHo75s

[coarse mesa]

PF2E just had a big roundup stream, is there some peer pressure?

ARE they gonna be using midi???

[violet meadow]

oh yes hahahaha

[coarse mesa]

With Atro there???

This is gonna be unmissable

[coarse mesa]

Oh man this is gonna be fun

I wonder if it will be 3D canvas

[violet meadow]

I would imagine so from the description

[coarse mesa]

Although, Baileywiki do a lot of MATT stuff

Unsure if that works in 3D, probably

[violet meadow]

Hmm no idea, haven't gone to such lengths 😄

[coarse mesa]

Aw, Tim needs a logo

[violet meadow]

😛

[coarse mesa]

Zhell will be keeping his eyes peeled for a glimpse of otter icon

[molten solar]

lol

ping me if that happens

[vast bane]

does the Override keyboard shortcut disable prompts like optional macro keys in midi?

[coarse mesa]

AFAIK it just overrides this stuff:

hang on that can't be right

it also ignores walls and range

I was just looking here

I think I already know the answer to this one, but is it possible to add the finesse property to a feature? Psychic Blades came in as a feature on our Psiknife and we were wondering why sneak attack wasn't working. The ranged blades work, because sneak attack looks for ranged or finesse

[low trench]

Thank you so where do I put this exactly? (Sorry 🙂 ) (so so sorry btw)

[violet meadow]

So it seems you are using Item Macro module. In the settings of that module, uncheck the sheet Hooks box if you want to use it alongside MidiQOL.

Then on the item (the spell), on the title bar click the Item Macro button and paste that in there.

Finally on the Item's Details Tab, scroll down and click on the + to add a MidiQOL on Use macro.
In the box that will appear, type ItemMacro case sensitive and select the Before Damage Roll in the second box.

[low trench]

Oh you are a god

thank you

[vast bane]

Remake it as a weapon, I dothis with alot of at wills just so they are all on the same tab for the player

[coarse mesa]

Yeah that's the answer I was expecting. It mildly irks me that Psychic Blades will be found under 'Inventory' but I'll get over it 🤷‍♂️

I tried tricking it by adding finesse to the JSON and re-importing, but it didn't like that 😅

[violet meadow]

get the feature's name and try ```js
await token.actor.items.getName('feat name').update({'system.properties.fin':true})

[coarse mesa]

hey that worked, you mad genius!

[vast bane]

You could also put the whole weapon in the item macro on use and auto hide the items message when it rolls

You should submit that fix to the ddbimporter compendiums

[violet meadow]

did you test it? all good?

[low trench]

Yes!

What can I give you!

[queen night]

Hi all, I'm setting this all up for the first time and for some reason when I place a fireball it rolls damage and targets everyone but it doesn't prompt anyone to save

I've tried both monk's and LMRTFY and I can't seem to get either to work

[spice kraken]

Did you enable either of those modules and did you tell midi to use them?

[queen night]

yeah, one at a time then I changed which one midi used as they were enabled

[spice kraken]

If no one can help you before I'm back I can try. Gotta eat dinner cause I'm starving

[queen night]

it looks like it's only that spell, color spary works

[coarse mesa]

You’re logged in as GM, do you have GM saves on auto?

Or is it happening for players when they’re logged in too?

[queen night]

so I get the prompt when I cast color spray, but not fire ball, super odd

[coarse mesa]

Color Spray shouldn’t even have a save

[queen night]

ah, right you are, that's damage, not save

ok, thunderclap does the roll automatically

[coarse mesa]

If you also log in as a player in an incognito window you can see if they’re presented with a save. You probably just have saves being rolled automatically for the GM

And if players aren’t logged in you’re rolling on their behalf

[queen night]

I'm on one now, but the console still throws that error and no damage applies

I cast fireball 10 times froma level 20 character on a level 1 pc

none "hit"

[coarse mesa]

Is damage being auto applied in your midi settings?

I’m not sure how that offhand weapon error has any bearing on fireball. Might have to wait until one of the midi gurus gets here

[queen night]

yeah, it applies when I use any other spell or weapon

I did the MrPrimeate import from DDB, it must have messed up that spell

Thanks for the help, I'll keep fiddling with it

[coarse mesa]

Give the SRD fireball a try, it’s a pretty simple spell

[queen night]

nope, I tried with a different actor as well

I also deleted the whole campaign and recreated it, still nothing

not a midi problem - some how the spell got set to have 0 of 0 limited uses

[vast bane]

I'd imagine most importers save on data by utilizing the srd in the system as much as possible and the fireball in SRD is 100% functional as it requires no automation at all.

[scarlet gale]

Pretty sure the DDB importer doesn't use the SRD stuff unless you set it to.

My fireball imports just fine with it, so there's likely some other issue.

[vast bane]

When in doubt:

Midi does not work with:

Ready Set Roll
Better Rolls for 5e
Roll Groups
ANything with "Fast Rolls" in its name
Dice Tooltips
Gm Paranoia
WIRE
Minimal Roll Enhancements
Retroactive Advantage/Disadvantage

[violet meadow]

@whole bolt so that we don't clog up #macro-polo , does this work? #macro-polo message

And do you need it to be only weapon attacks?

[whole bolt]

No, any player attacks, spell, weapon, etc

[violet meadow]

Ok small edit then. Should be ok

[whole bolt]

Ok, That worked

[coarse mesa]

First I’ve heard of TrueRNG… is it still a thing?

I see the module hasn’t been updated in ages… guess people are happy with foundry’s RNG

[spice kraken]

More of a #513918036919713802 thing

[coarse mesa]

Yeah was just part of Silvestrae’s setup above so thought they might have some insight

[spice kraken]

Well if anyone has it installed, it's likely gonna cause issues

[whole bolt]

I have it installed. Works very well on v9

can log into the TruRNG portal and see the requests as well.

[coarse mesa]

probably doesn’t touch anything that’s changed version to version… will look into it, thanks!

[violet meadow]

(leave the modules down... slowly)

[rough prism]

is there a way to make an arrow that ignores piercing resistance using midi-qol flags and/or macros?

[violet meadow]

Hmm. I wonder if having a macro onUse on the arrow would be triggered or not, when "used" by another item 🤔

[rough prism]

it is not triggered, I tried. the macro ought to be on the used item (bow or crossbow)

[violet meadow]

I haven't played with ammunition and macros that much.
You should be able to check what type of ammo is selected and then during the item roll, create an effect bypassing resistance if applicable with a duration of 1 attack

It sounds doable. Could try it out in a bit

[rough prism]

ah I see. applying like a convenient effect on the fly. I can try that!

[spice kraken]

71 active. Looking through them, I'm actually kinda proud I actively use what they all do

[vast bane]

I'm down to 63 live modules 70 total

[spice kraken]

v10 will prolly trim mine down

[vast bane]

probably not

dnd5ehelpers got turned into 3-4 modules

[spice kraken]

I don't use the cover functionality so that'll dim down anyways

[vast bane]

also you get enticed to use new stuff too like I really wanna try the crafting module and arbrons stuff

[spice kraken]

I just want VAE and the fishing one

[vast bane]

yeah VAE is really nice

[coarse mesa]

VAE makes me want to go through all my spells and features and make them better with descriptions, buttons etc

[violet meadow]

OK so a crude test might be this, as an onUse on the Weapon or Actor, triggered some time before damage application and having an effect duration of damaged 🤔 ```js
if (item.system.consume.type !== "ammo") return;
const ammoTypeID = item.system.consume.target
let ammo;
if (!!ammoTypeID) ammo = token.actor.items.get(ammoTypeID)
if (args[0].hitTargets[0].actor.system.traits.dr.value.includes("piercing") && item.name.toLowerCase().includes("piercing")) {
//construct the effectData and use await MidiQOL.socket().executeAsGM to add the effect
}

[rough prism]

I resolved to checking the ammo and applying a convenient effect with duration of 1 hit:

const workflow = MidiQOL.Workflow.getWorkflow(args[0].uuid);
const targets = Array.from(workflow.hitTargets);

if (workflow.ammo?.name === RUBY_DART_NAME) {
  targets.forEach(target => game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({ effectName: RUBY_DART_EFFECT, uuid: target.data.uuid }));
}

[jagged remnant]

sorry for the late reply, thank you very much for that, most appreciated 😄

[violet meadow]

@supple bloom do you see the Midi onUse macro field in the Item's Details tab when you edit the item? Close to the bottom if the item has an action type

Create a script macro, paste the code that Zhell shared.
Put in the onUse macro field the name of the macro you created and choose after active Effects

Roll the item and it should do it

[supple bloom]

yes but only if I select something for feature attack

[violet meadow]

You would roll the feature to get the AE on the source actor, correct?

Make it a utility or other type

No attack or save etc. And target Self in the 3rd box

[supple bloom]

ok it works now thx a lot

but somehow it deletes the ki uses when i close and reopen the sheet

holy ... it messed up so much...

[violet meadow]

🤔

[supple bloom]

I would assume that the active effect will return the added values back to normal if the effect is over?

[violet meadow]

The abilities values or the item uses?

[supple bloom]

abilities

[violet meadow]

The abilities should reset yes

[orchid hound]

why not just have the ki as one of the three resources, and have the feature that restores ki "consume" -1, to have it give one back?

that way you can easily set up all the features that use ki to consume them

[violet meadow]

Either resources or Item uses should do it, no?

[orchid hound]

yeah, but putting in resources makes it a little easier to find as a resource and puts in on the main tab, where you can put favorite items/actions

plus you would not need a macro to do that

[violet meadow]

Agreed for the macro

[orchid hound]

the other part is really more preference

[violet meadow]

I just saw the messages on #dnd5e . The feature by itself has limited uses per day.

[orchid hound]

o, pretty simple, have the feature put on two effects, reducing con and increasing wisdom, consuming -1 ki, and having a 1 per day use. since they have midi, easy to toggle

once the effect turns off, the ki would remain and the con and wisdom changes would revert

[supple bloom]

Can the max resource value track the monk level?

[violet meadow]

I think the max yes

Needs a DAE though for the max of the specific resource @classes.monk.levels

[supple bloom]

How would I do that in concrete steps?

[orchid hound]

create an effect on say the ki feature, marking the resource you want to use to use the value of the monk level

so basically add an effect that is system.resources.primary.max | override | @classes.monk.level

you can store that on that on the ki feature. and you can change primary to be secondary or tertiary if you want.

[supple bloom]

still I don't want to consume a resource but add one to ki

[orchid hound]

yes, the -1 would add one to the ki when used

[orchid hound]

just like that

[supple bloom]

i have nothing in the drop down

[orchid hound]

is it on the actor?

[supple bloom]

its an item that i created... then i drag it on the actor

[violet meadow]

Or if you have a specific Item with limited uses, you can also use that

[orchid hound]

right, once you put the item on the actor you can select the resource consumption.

since it reads what resources the actor has, it has to be on an actor to display anything in that drop down

can you use the class level total as the max value per uses? i dont think you can

[violet meadow]

Limited uses can reference class levels

@classes.rogue.levels

[orchid hound]

o, good to know

so, yeah, really depends on how you want to set it up, and how you like your sheet layout

[supple bloom]

I did both bc then both resources are tracked

[jaunty thicket]

Hi, I'm trying to activate the adamantium effect with midi-qol but it doesn't work. When I crit the target that should have the effect, it opens the chat to apply the damage but it contains the crit.
Tips ?

[scarlet gale]

Is this for adamantium armor?

If so, it should be flags.midi-qol.fail.critical.all on whoever has the armor equipped.

[jaunty thicket]

I made the flag into the item's effect, but if you look at the chat bubble you'll notice that the crit value remains in the damage sum.

[scarlet gale]

What version of foundry are you on?

You appear to be using better rolls or something similar.

[jaunty thicket]

v9.280

Maybe it's to be set in midi-qol's module settings workflow?

better rolls

[scarlet gale]

When you say item, do you mean the person who got attacked that has adamantine armor?

Could you screenshot the DAE on it?

[kind cape]

Does the target actually have the effect from the item? (Have you made sure that it is transfered on equip)

[jaunty thicket]

Give me a moment, I'll give you the screens

[scarlet gale]

Could you edit it and screenshot the details tab

[jaunty thicket]

Maybe we need to change this option?
Dividing crit from normal damage?

[scarlet gale]

no

We need to verify you have the DAE setup correct first.

[vast bane]

Oh snap, LightsHUD got updated!

[scarlet gale]

Could you try toggling off better rolls and see if it still does it?

[jaunty thicket]

I try disable better rolls

Without better rolls it does not roll the additional die in the chat bubble

[scarlet gale]

It's likely it doesn't work with better rolls then.

There are a few things that act strange with better rolls active.

[jaunty thicket]

DAE settings

[dark canopy]

if you are using midi, do not use better rolls (or any other roller module)

[vast bane]

Midi does not work with:

Ready Set Roll
Better Rolls for 5e
Roll Groups
ANything with "Fast Rolls" in its name
Dice Tooltips
Gm Paranoia
WIRE
Minimal Roll Enhancements
Retroactive Advantage/Disadvantage

[scarlet gale]

They're on v9 of Foundry. Midi has partial support for better rolls in that version.

I wouldn't recommend it however.

[dark canopy]

yea, just dont use it even in v9

compatibility was transient

[vast bane]

I believe they only work together if you sit in a very old version of dnd5e as well though, once they update things it gets messy

[jaunty thicket]

Thanks for the help, I'll try other ways

[kind cape]

The word partial is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence 😛

[limpid nimbus]

This has been asked before, but is anyone aware of a way to automate Primal Strike or making all melee attacks for an actor magical with an active effect?

[scarlet gale]

Warpgate mutation most likely

[limpid nimbus]

I'll have to look into that

[coarse mesa]

Or Effect Macros… I don’t think it would be too complex, a map of all weapons filtered by mwak that sets the property. Bit out of my comfort zone sorry but someone here or in #macro-polo could help

[scarlet gale]

Effect macro with effect creation to do the mutate and effect deletion to remove it

[coarse mesa]

Do you need warpgate? Bugbear set the finesse property on an item for me with a simple one-liner

#1010273821401555087 message

[scarlet gale]

No, but doing an update to the item is permanent

Unless you later do another update to revert it

[coarse mesa]

Yeah you’d want to reverse it on effect deletion

[molten solar]

and you want to store what the previous value was. That's where warpgate is helpful.

[vast bane]

Is there a reason the older readme is always on the front page of tposney's git?

It seems the v10 readme is the most current and "master" is old

in Overtime section actionSave is not on the Master but is in the V10

[coarse mesa]

I just thought it hadn’t been updated in eons lol

[cerulean phoenix]

What does it feel like flags.midi-qol.DR.all doesn't stack..

like if I have multiple effects that give flags.midi-qol.DR.all, only 1 of them actually gets factored in?

[vast bane]

My first question is do you realize that flag is not damage resistance?

[spice kraken]

That's damage reduction

[cerulean phoenix]

yes, specifically Damage Reduction

[vast bane]

yeah I don't think RAW they stack anyway, but also its the same key so priority would take precedent

[cerulean phoenix]

I know dr and DR are different

I see, so there's no way to have like a +1 to DR and a +3 to DR?

[vast bane]

the higher priority would apply and the lesser one would be thrown out unless a pro knows a way to override this

[spice kraken]

Show the effects

[vast bane]

You could manually combine them

[cerulean phoenix]

But isn't that like a setting you can turn off in midi tho? there's a setting for that

where they higher DR gets used instead of accumulating.

or am I getting this wrong?

[vast bane]

hmmm

what are your keys

[cerulean phoenix]

highest priority makes sense to me but if this is a part of the settings, why does it work like that?

[vast bane]

show us the whole effects maybe you are using the wrong drop down?

also if I recall the healing and healing temp DR's are weird

[cerulean phoenix]

note that I tried both +1 or just 1 for the value and it doesn't really work

[vast bane]

try add and +1 maybe?

[cerulean phoenix]

Sure, that might work

[vast bane]

if it doesn't work with both set that way, set one to custom and prirority high, with just 1

then the other to add and +1

lower prio

[cerulean phoenix]

AYO

it does work

setting it to Add instead of Custom and MAYBE making it a +N instead of just N

[vast bane]

its really hit or miss when custom is not the best practice in midi

[cerulean phoenix]

Midi recommends setting it to custom to idrk anymore xd

but yeah

Add and then +N works

thanks

now my players can appreciate how broken stacking these items now

time to add it to my campaign patch notes

[spice kraken]

Safest thing to do is use + everywhere anyways

[vast bane]

sometimes DR does not like a leading +

[cerulean phoenix]

I learned that the hard way

[vast bane]

I think its the healing/healing temp ones that do not like modifiers

[cerulean phoenix]

+1d4 damage turned into 11d4 because reasons

was an old problem of course, now everything is +something

[vast bane]

yeah thats cause some older compendiums had missing +'s. DAE's compendium notable had that

[rancid tide]

Hello I'm having quite the issue with a feature that re-rolls dices that rolled its maxed value, the problem is that this applies to damage bonuses too, and if I make this feature a damage bonus macro then it doesn't work with other damage bonus macros (since they have not been executed yet)

any practical way to solve this problem?

[spice kraken]

How are you doing it rn?

[rancid tide]

I tried with a OnUse afterEffect macro with a command (that I can't recall the name of) that straight up re-makes the roll all together, but that didn't feel super good (basically the dice rolled didn't reflect the actual result)

[scarlet gale]

Only thing I can think of is trying to figure out what method midi uses to execute damage bonus macros and try to get it to be the last one to go

[rancid tide]

Damage bonus macro but it works only with normal rolls

[rancid tide]

Yeah that would be the perfect solution for me, but I don't know how to do so

[rancid tide]

To be more precise this is the item I'm using

[spice kraken]

Are you on v10?

[rancid tide]

Yes

[scarlet gale]

Could you post just the macro

[spice kraken]

I can't download that to test so someone else would need to help

Like Chris

[rancid tide]

Yes of course

This is just the macro

[rancid tide]

The item has an Active Effect with flags.dnd5e.DamageBonusMacro Custom ItemMacro and this is the item macro

[rancid tide]

I posted just the macro if that can help

[scarlet gale]

Have you tried using a flags.midi-qol.onUseMacroName CUSTOM macroName,macroPass setup?

You can run on postDamageRoll and then just sort through the rolled damage and add your own bonus to it.

[rancid tide]

I did try to run on postDamageRoll and the damage bonus didn't evaluate yet sadly

[rancid tide]

And by this I mean if this feature is used on something that has a damage bonus of course

[rancid tide]

I'll test it again just to make sure

[scarlet gale]

I've personally avoided using bonus damage stuff and always just edit the workflow. So this is a bit outside of anything I've messed with.

[rancid tide]

The problem with editing the workflow for me is that it scraps the rolls you made, so it can be confusing for player to see result X when in reality the actual result is different

At least if you need to modify in anyway the roll that is

[scarlet gale]

You can do that

workflow.setDamageRoll

Should re-render it

[rancid tide]

Okay now I remember, it does evaluate the damage bonus if it run on After Active Effect

[scarlet gale]

That might be too late to edit the damage

Since the damage application step is done before that

[rancid tide]

Mhmm that's why when I tested setDamageRoll it didn't re-render it?

Because I did try setDamageRoll at one point but it didn't reflect the dice roll on screen

[scarlet gale]

It will if you do it during postDamageRoll

But that's before damage bonus

[rancid tide]

Yep

[scarlet gale]

I guess you could run on all

[rancid tide]

Quite the conundrum

[scarlet gale]

and see if you can edit the bonus damage during it's own step

[rancid tide]

What do you mean?

[scarlet gale]

Have the macro run on the "all" pass

and see if there is one that lets you edit the bonus damage

separately from the primary

[rancid tide]

mhm I think it will take me awhile to do so, I never tried something of the like

[scarlet gale]

https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros/blob/main/Features/Class Features/Bard/Magical Inspiration/Chris-MagicalInspiration.js

I kinda do that here with magical inspiration.

[rancid tide]

Okay ty

I'll be back in a bit, while I try this out

Okay it works if it runs on preDamageApplication too

But that's it, damage bonus is evaluated only on preDamageApplication and pre/postActiveEffects

Idk if that changes things

[rancid tide]

it throws an error if ran on preDamageApplication sadly

[scarlet gale]

Not sure what else can be done about it

[rancid tide]

I could just make this execute from the damage bonus thing itself, it isn't ideal and I don't like it, but it should work

Since it's only one damage bonus macro that this feature I'm making affects

Nope, never mind, I can't even do that

[scarlet gale]

Would take some work, but you could try converting your other sources of damage bonus to a postDamageRoll workflow edit.

Or just have the item not work on bonus damage dice

[vast bane]

Anyone feel like taking a stab at automating this fun feature from the Kuo-toa?

When a creature misses the kuo-toa with a melee weapon attack, the kuo-toa uses its sticky shield to catch the weapon. The attacker must succeed on a DC 11 Strength saving throw, or the weapon becomes stuck to the kuo-toa's shield. If the weapon's wielder can't or won't let go of the weapon, the wielder is grappled while the weapon is stuck. While stuck, the weapon can't be used. A creature can pull the weapon free by taking an action to make a DC 11 Strength check and succeeding.

[rancid tide]

Thankfully it's only one I have to worry about so that would not take that much work, but idk if I like it as a solution, I'm thinking that maybe there's a way to roll an item targeting an X target from a macro? Like with warpgate or something, I would prefer this because that damage bonus macro works really well with other features and I'm iffy about modifying it

[vast bane]

actually I don't need that automated duh, its just a simple reaction

[scarlet gale]

Why not just have that a a special feature on the creature?

[vast bane]

yeah for some reason I thought it was a passive effect

[scarlet gale]

Even then

An action type of special would be more fitting in that case

Since the person will just drop the weapon most of the time

[vast bane]

nah cause it can't use it more than once, its actually a reaction

[mighty pier]

How can I make a macro execute only on hit? I tried different conditions in MidiQoL, but it didn't help much

[scarlet gale]

if (this.hitTargets.size === 0) return;```

At the top of the item macro.

[mighty pier]

"Item macro" like module? Not MidiQoL?

[scarlet gale]

Midi uses item macro

[vast bane]

if you don't have item macro you could just use a folder macro

in the on use field

[scarlet gale]

yep

Either way works

[vast bane]

if you do install item macro make sure you turn off character sheet hooks, it does not play well with midi, midi uses the module as a storage device

[mighty pier]

Uh.. macro folder? What? Where? Why?

[vast bane]

how are you making on use macros if you don't have folder or item macros hehe?

system macros is another term for it but you access them from a button that looks like a folder so most of us call them folder macros

[rancid tide]

Also what do I put inside setDamageRoll, do I have to make a let damageRoll = await new Roll(damageFormula).roll({async: true}); thing to make setDamage(damageRoll) work?

[mighty pier]

Honestly, I don't really understand. Made the same mistake as always - decided to resolve issues right before going to bed in the middle of the night

[scarlet gale]

You put the new roll into it.

[mighty pier]

No, I understand that this is a macro folder, but I don't really understand how it has to do with the condition, that line of code, and...

[vast bane]

in order to fire a macro, you must first make the macro, they can be made 3 ways with midi's setup. Either folder/system macros made via the hotbar/folder button, effect macro(a module), or Item macro( a module)

[scarlet gale]

https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros/blob/main/Spells/Hex/Chris-HexAttack.js

If you want an example.

[vast bane]

You paste his line into the top of the macro

[mighty pier]

Okay, should I just put "if (this.hitTargets.size === 0) return;" into the macro itself or..?

[scarlet gale]

Yep

[vast bane]

at the very top yes

[rancid tide]

But that trigger the problem I was referring (the thing about having mismatched rolls, the ones on the screen and the result's ones)

[vast bane]

its going to stop the macro if nobody was hit

[scarlet gale]

It shouldn't be mismatched if you run it during After Damage Roll

You essentially throw out the old roll and reroll everything. The player will never know since it's not rendered until after that step.

[rancid tide]

But it does for some reason, maybe I'm doing something wrong?

[scarlet gale]

Most likely missing an await somewhere

[rancid tide]

I'm using DiceSoNice does that impact something?

[scarlet gale]

It shouldn't

[mighty pier]

Damn, this really works. Thanks for your help and sorry for being a bit dumb 🥹

[scarlet gale]

Dice So Nice gets the chat card for it's dice IIRC

There is an API if we need to manually render some dice

but it shouldn't be needed for this

[rancid tide]

Okay maybe I'm missing something very obvious

[scarlet gale]

If the card renders before the macro is done running you're missing an await

[rancid tide]

okay I'll test somethings

[rancid tide]

Okay I see now I think

[scarlet gale]

You might also be running on the wrong pass.

[rancid tide]

The thing is that if I do like the reference you gave me here, I re-roll an oldFormula + the damage bonus, problem is that that is a roll formula, so it re-roll the whole roll instead of getting the results, but even with that in mind I don't understand as you said there shouldn't be a difference between the roll and the result even like that

[rancid tide]

What do you mean?

[scarlet gale]

If you try to set the damageRoll during after effects or something

[rancid tide]

And how would that be possible?

[scarlet gale]

If you have the wrong pass set

If it's an item macro you want After Damage Roll

If it's an flags.midi-qol.onUseMacroName you want postDamageRoll

[scarlet gale]

If you don't want to re-roll the whole formula you'll need to get the total and add it or modify the roll.

[rancid tide]

it's a flags.midi-qol.onUseMacroName CUSTOM ItemMacro.Instruments of Destruction, postDamageRoll

[rancid tide]

Yeah that's a solution too

[scarlet gale]

Then you're good in that regard.

[rancid tide]

But I want to understand why it isn't doing like you said

It would be really cool to make it work like it should

[scarlet gale]

So you make a roll

And it renders the wrong info?

after being modified

That pretty much only happens when something async isn't being awaited

Such as a dialogue

[rancid tide]

mhm but I don't have a dialogue in the macro

[scarlet gale]

There might be some other async functions

Is it the one from before still?

or something else

The damage portion of the roll card won't render until all workflows that touch it finish.

[rancid tide]

This is the macro, I don't see another async function, but I don't have a lot of familiarity with javascript

[scarlet gale]

Hard to tell at first glance honestly

[rancid tide]

Yeah don't worry

[scarlet gale]

You're also looking at the item details instead of just the dice flavor

But that shouldn't really change anything

this.damageRoll will have all the info you need to find if a dice rolled it's max value

There should be an array with each term that you can iterate over

[rancid tide]

Sorry I don't understand what you mean

[scarlet gale]

It likely won't matter much, but if you want to just look at the roll instead of the item for figuring out what damage type each dice is, you can.

Helpful when you have multiple things editing the workflow and potentially adding their own extra dice.

[rancid tide]

Okay thanks!

Still, it's driving me mad not knowing why the results are different

[scarlet gale]

I would run a test macro with something far more simple and see if you're still getting the same issue

[rancid tide]

Will do thanks

[rancid tide]

I doesn't work even in a simpler macro

[scarlet gale]

Show me that one?

[rancid tide]

Still has different results

[rancid tide]

Here it is

The only difference I noticed is that with this one, it rolls the damageBonus

[scarlet gale]

You're doing roll.setDamageRoll

not workflow

oh wait

[rancid tide]

roll is equal lastArg.workflow

which is basically saying "roll = args[0].workflow"

[scarlet gale]

try this:

let damageRoll = await new Roll('1d4[slashing]').roll({async: true});
await this.setDamageRoll(damageRoll);

see if that just changes the whole thing to 1d4 slashing

[rancid tide]

okay

[rancid tide]

yep

[scarlet gale]

Then it's something you're doing I guess

[rancid tide]

;-;

[scarlet gale]

If you're trying to add a bonus to the roll

[rancid tide]

Still rolls the damage die it suppose to tho, it just replace it with the d4 afterwards

In the chat menu

[scarlet gale]

screenshot?

Because mine isn't doing that

[rancid tide]

Okay just a sec

[scarlet gale]

My hex is showing the dice correctly

[rancid tide]

Then it's a Dice so Nice thing

[scarlet gale]

I see a d20 and a d4 on your screen?

[rancid tide]

Because only the physical die isn't replaced

[rancid tide]

The original damage die where 2d6

Which are on the screen

[scarlet gale]

ah

Not sure why it's doing that, I don't use that module.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Just to double check

This is running on postDamageRoll right?

[rancid tide]

Yes

[scarlet gale]

Anyone else here using dice so nice and have this problem with workflow edits?

@coarse mesa @violet meadow Either of you run DSN and have this problem?

[coarse mesa]

I’ve never done any reroll stuff sorry. Bugbear did make me a macro once which set the attack roll to a 10 (clockwork amulet) – that’s the closest we got. IIRC we never quite got the chat card right but the to hit calc was fine. How do things like Savage Attacker work (assume someone has done that)?

[rancid tide]

Either way it would not work, I just thought that even if I make it work somehow it still needs to run on postAfterEffect for the damage bonus to be executed

So now my best idea is to create an item with the damage bonus that gets rolled as an attack or something like that

[nimble grail]

https://github.com/JamesBrandts/FoundryVTT/blob/main/BoomingBladeMacro

so I've been trying to get this code I found to work for booming blade, so far it works wonderfully on the attack + damage part of it, but it doesn't have the movement damage apply rn. does anyone know what I'd need to fix to make it work with the movement?

[rancid tide]

@scarlet gale I've made it work!

[scarlet gale]

Oh nice

[rancid tide]

I've used MidiQOL.completeItemUse

[scarlet gale]

Just rolling another item for the extra dice?

[rancid tide]

Yes

[coarse mesa]

Are you using the DDB importer? That booming blade works great. Not sure if it’s freely available…

[uncut rampart]

It's not, unfortunately

[coarse mesa]

https://github.com/MrPrimate/ddb-importer/blob/main/macros/spells/boomingBlade.js

[uncut rampart]

Hmm…

Guess I need to manually import it then

[coarse mesa]

That’s an ItemMacro, just paste it in

[uncut rampart]

Hmm... sure...

It doesn't seem to do anything but play an animation on the character and the effect goes away after an attack (Which I assume is intentional but it doesn't add damage or do anything after that)

[coarse mesa]

It does, maybe your item isn’t set up right. Gimme a sec

[uncut rampart]

Yeah, that's probably the case...

[scarlet gale]

If you are using levels auto cover it breaks the ddb macro

There's a fix, let me check what I did

[uncut rampart]

I'm using simbul's cover calculator

[coarse mesa]

me too and no issues

[scarlet gale]

You'll get this error with levels auto cover

Check your console after you move the token

[uncut rampart]

Ok yeah mine looks different, one sec lets see how it does if I change it to that...

Works now! Thank you (I just had the item set up wrong it seems)

[scarlet gale]

If anyone here is using the ddb macro with levels auto cover and midi line 105 needs to be changed to [targetToken.object], just an FYI.

[violet meadow]

Just to get the context right.
setDamageRoll() shows the original DSN dice and not the changed ones?
Will try it out

[tawdry frost]

I have a monster that gives debuffs when it hits someone. Can Midi slap an effect on a token?

[coarse mesa]

that's one of its main jobs

[tawdry frost]

Cool... how do?

[coarse mesa]

In the Workflow tab

The item you're attacking with will need an Active Effect that gets applied to the target

[tawdry frost]

You mean a temporary effect?

[coarse mesa]

temporary effects are a kind of active effect yeah

temporary ones just have a duration

most debuffs would have a duration, but not all

[tawdry frost]

I don't see a wrokflow tab and I only see temporary, passive, and inactive under effects.

[coarse mesa]

workflow tab is in midi settings

it sounds like you're starting out from the get go here – you might be better off looking in the Midi Sample Items compendium and see how those are set up

there's often something in there you can tweak to your own needs

[coarse mesa]

those are all kinds of Active Effects – AEs are a core foundry concept... the naming could be clearer for sure (you can have passive Active Effects)

[tawdry frost]

I added it for the auto rolling. I'm just now trying to do more with it.

[coarse mesa]

It works great with DFreds Convenient Effects... if you use a feature or spell that is also in Convenient Effects, it will slap that effect on the target with no extra work

[tawdry frost]

So where would one find the samples you speak of?

[coarse mesa]

In your compendium tab, there will be a compendium called MidiQOL Sample Items

[tawdry frost]

Think I'm mostly having issue with the actual effect. Like I can't find restrained as an option.

[opaque current]

There is no restrained effect unless you make one in some way

For example, adding a restrained effect would mostly involve setting the speed to 0

And disadvantage on saves and attacks

[tawdry frost]

I'm sorry. I seem to not be using the right words. It's 5:38am where I am.

So if I right click a token I can add a status effect to said token. It adds a symbol and the name of said effect pops up for a second.

I want to do that.

Doesn't need to actually make them stop moving.

[opaque current]

OK, so I think the best term for those would probably be "statuses" or something. If you want to customise the effects in that area, then you need a mod to do so. For example the Condition Lab section from mod Combat Utility Belt, or a different mod option Core Settings Extended.

By default, those statuses are all preset by the 5e system, so require a mod to alter

I think DFreds Convenient Effects might also be able to override that status panel but I haven't tried it.

[tawdry frost]

I just want to apply them.

[opaque current]

To apply them you click on them, as you said.

[tawdry frost]

But to have it happen as part of an attack I need to change them?

Just trying to understand

Think I have the dynamic effects mod.

[opaque current]

So generally you would need to edit the spell or attack, and set it to add the specific status you want

The easiest way to have it all done automagically is with DFreds Convenient Effects. Midi has a setting that it will automatically add statuses based on the spell.

[tawdry frost]

I'll look into that then.

Danka

[kind cape]

Wait, what setting is that? 🤔 I might be misunderstanding you

[opaque current]

The one that Lukas pictured a few messages above

[kind cape]

That's AEs, not statuses 😭 was hoping there was some setting I had missed that would scan the description for statuses 😛

[opaque current]

Sure, it was just the most appropriate solution at the time. If you use CUB, then you can have it specifically apply statuses via DAE

Doesnt auto scan though

[kind cape]

Which does remind me, what is people's preferred setup for having an attack apply e.g. prone, when the attack in question is not a multi turn effect?

Cause my current setup for those are a bit weird

[opaque current]

Like it's a one-and-done knockdown?

[kind cape]

Yeah

[opaque current]

Well, I would have it flag prone in CUB. But I think most people have moved on from CUB lol.

[kind cape]

I use Fred's yeah 😅 My problem with it is that it basically becomes either a nested effect, where the parent always seems to remove everything else, or I end up duplicating the status in its entirety, which I really don't like

Hmm, haven't actually ever used the DAE menu to modify an attack 🤔

[opaque current]

I think Tim considered using the DAE menu to be no longer necessary once Core caught up with its options, but that option for stuff like CUB statuses still needs to go through DAE

[kind cape]

Might be the same for Fred's actually 🤔

[opaque current]

Possibly. I need to look into switching since CE is far more currently maintained

It can override the default statuses area right?

[kind cape]

Yeah

[opaque current]

Yeah I need to look into it since Condition Lab is the only thing Im using CUB for now lol

[coarse mesa]

and applying a CE status effect with an AE is as simple as choosing the macro.CE key and then choosing the status from a drop-down

[coarse mesa]

And you can add any extras in there you want

[violet meadow]

@rancid tide I can see the same issue with Post Damage Roll setting the damage Roll with setDamageRoll().

The initial DSN dice are still shown.

[rancid tide]

Glad I'm not alone in having this issue

I didn't find a fix for it, my best guess is that Dice so Nice doesn't use the workflow in the same way as the chat results, but I couldn't find a way to prevent it, in the end I tried another approach

[violet meadow]

Makes sense though, as the DSN are rolled when the initial chat card is created.
This happens before the Post Damage Roll hook is fired.

If you uncheck the Merge Card option in the MidiQOL settings in the Misc tab, you will see the original damage card being created, but then Damage application card having the corrected damage displayed

Probably worth creating an issue in the MidiQOL git.

[rancid tide]

I'll think about it, I'm not very proficient with git hub tho

[mighty pier]

Hey! Again with a question! Recently I asked how to make the macro execute only when damage is dealt. At that point, I forgot to ask one more thing: how do I make a macro execute on a failed save?

[violet meadow]

if (!args[0].failedSaves.length) return;
``` stops execution of the macro if none failed their save

[mighty pier]

Thank you!

[kind cape]

IIRC the status is removed if the parent effect is removed, right? With this approach that is

[coarse mesa]

correct

[uncut rampart]

I'm trying to use this in order to give immunity to a certain condition but I can't figure out what to put in the value... is this even possible to do?

    {
      value: "Invisible",
      mode: 2,
      priority: 20,
      key: "system.traits.ci.value",
},

[uncut rampart]

Currently its just giving me this (The default 1st condition)

[scarlet gale]

Put the desired effect on an actor and then look at it in console or export the json.

That should tell you what you need to put there.

[uncut rampart]

I hate that capitalization matters so much...

I literally just changed the Invisible to invisible and now it works

[kind cape]

Welcome to the world of computers 😉

[vast bane]

For those not paying attention to package releases:

#package-releases message

[tropic vine]

Was wondering if anyone has a working macro/midiqol setup for Cordon of Arrows?

[vast bane]

Trying to come up with an easy way to manage the enslave ability of aboleths. I have an entire area of monsters who must make a wis save everytime they take damage. My first thought is to just cast the automated hideous laughter on them cause I believe that automated spell does just this

[magic tartan]

Foundry 10.291 | DnD5e 2.0.3 | DAE 10.0.14
DAE option Confirm effect deletions stopped working for me. Already tried with only DAE and dependencies activated. It happens to someone else?

[sudden crane]

It could probably be done with item pile to drop the arrows in the range area and put an effect with a 30ft aura on that item pile…

[chrome gale]

Odd bug - I'm trying to use an effect to apply two DFCE effects (charmed and incapacitated) but even though the chat log and floating text says both are applied, only incapacitated ends up on the target character sheet

[coarse mesa]

How are you applying them?

[spice kraken]

I think incapacitated trumps most effects, especially charmed since they would need to be not incapacitated

[coarse mesa]

Incapacitated sucks as a player but it’s not mechanically that full on. Just can’t take actions

I think only petrified or unconscious would trump charmed

[chrome gale]

sorry was playing with the rest recovery module

applying them using a spell that applies the effects

"On a failed save, the creature becomes charmed for the duration. While charmed by this spell, the creature is incapacitated and has a speed of 0."

hypnotic pattern. Though you're right, the overlaps make is largely irrelevant, but I guess its for the times when it's used outside of combat

[vast bane]

you probably have dfreds CE set to toggle on

nope no hypnotic pattern in the premades hmm

could you possibly have a cub interaction?

show us the active effect that applies both conditions?

[chrome gale]

It's also not actually hypnotic pattern anyway, it's a custom, it just has a very similar effect (for the part I'm having trouble with)

[vast bane]

maybe one is set differently

[chrome gale]

I immediately wonder... if custom means it's overriding instead of adding

but I don't have the option to choose 'add'

[vast bane]

Mine works, try statusEffect key instead?

[chrome gale]

and the chat log and the console are both not mentioning anything being removed. They just both get added to the actor (but the charmed doesn't display, only the incap)

[vast bane]

change macro.ce to statusEffect

WAIT what one is working?

Is charmed not showing?

paste your Overtime effect value into here

theres probably an error

or a naughty character

[chrome gale]

I just deleted both the overtime and the movement

and now only charmed is showing, and not incap

(before they were in a different order)

so they get applied in sequence, and the second one overwrites the first

[vast bane]

remake from scratch after restarting server

nope I just toggled mine and it works the very first time you apply it and then every other time it breaks like you say

this is a bug

wow is this some weird stuff

[chrome gale]

I haven't noticed it working the first time either

[vast bane]

status effect is even weirder

[chrome gale]

I just restarted

same behaviour - the second condition overwrites the first in the list

[vast bane]

you could create an item that applies them seperately but this seems gamebreaking to me for midi/dae

This effect refuses to apply both, and also refuses to toggle off in dfreds CE

[chrome gale]

For short term I can just rewrite the spell to be 'incapacitated and movement is zero' because the charmed part doesn't actually matter for this at all, but I just got drawn into it cos there's definitely times when I'd want to apply 2 conditions with one effect

[vast bane]

but it does indeed work the very first time every time

[chrome gale]

very odd

[vast bane]

This works

however, dfreds must have changed something or hes got a bug

cause this ae will not toggle off with his window

[chrome gale]

hmm

[vast bane]

yeah everything else toggles on and off when using dfreds menu, but this ae I just made does not toggle, if you apply it a second time you get 2 more ae's

[coarse mesa]

I wonder if there's a race condition or something. Try different priorities?

[coarse mesa]

the charmed part only really comes into play if you're using it against elves etc

[vast bane]

also anything immune to charmed won't be incapacitated

[coarse mesa]

but you don't need the AE true

[scarlet gale]

Multiple macro.ce effects never work for me. It applies both but the 2nd one makes the first one go away.

I just use a macro to apply it in that case

[vast bane]

will the macro screw up condition immunities?>

[violet meadow]

Nope. It should be OK. Using something like: ```js
await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({effectName:"Paralyzed", uuid:token.actor.uuid})

It would be best if DFreds conditions were set to not stack based on name and not origin, cause in this case it will keep adding inactive conditions every time the macro is triggered

[opaque current]

I'm using Warpgate to summon Shadow Blade as a feature when the spell is cast. How do I pass the spell level correctly through to the new feature? It interprets @item.level as 0.

[vast bane]

maybe try @spellLevel

[dark canopy]

generally you will evaluate that externally and assign the evaluated number -- like @item.level + 2 with level of 2 is 2+2 in the final damage formula you send as an update

[opaque current]

So you're saying it requires javascript

[dark canopy]

how are you using warpgate otherwise? 😅

[opaque current]

By stealing the examples and very carefully changing things so as not to break it

[dark canopy]

ah, nods

[vast bane]

you could go the route of bugbears call lightning and my scorching rays, they used macro.createitem and effect macro stuff

[dark canopy]

get the spell level from midi, however that happens, and use it in a string literal --

`${thisSpellLevel} + whatever`

[vast bane]

pretty sure its @spellLevel or something like that

[dark canopy]

its def not roll data

its buried in args, im sure

[vast bane]

I got this macro from the call lightning premade bugbear shared, but its getting the level from the castdata and using it in an effect macro:

game.user.updateTokenTargets()
canvas.templates.placeables.at(-1)?.document.delete()
let i = 0;
while (!token.actor.items.getName("Call Lightning attack") && i < 3000) {
    console.log("Waiting for Call Lighting attack item to be created, if needed!")
    await warpgate.wait(250)
    i += 250
}
const item = token.actor.items.getName("Call Lightning attack")
const {castLevel} = effect.flags["midi-qol"].castData;
if (castLevel > 3) {
    let newItem = duplicate(item.system)
    newItem.damage.parts[0][0] = `${castLevel}d10`
    await item.update({'system.damage.parts': newItem.damage.parts})
}

Its also not using warpgate but its a way to get the level nonetheless

[dark canopy]

assuming effect is defined and flagged

[vast bane]

my thought is cause its an effect macro, zhells module must define it

[dark canopy]

i meant in Monkeyy's case

[vast bane]

so put the macro for shadowblade in an effect macro

[dark canopy]

they made no mention of effect macro

https://github.com/trioderegion/warpgate/wiki/Badger-Medic

Second line

[vast bane]

There has to be a wiki example...

beat me to it

[opaque current]

Mm i was kind of getting there looking at summon badger. But also, not really.

[dark canopy]

//midi stuff
const level = args[0].spellLevel;
//more midi stuff
... { //mutation data
  'system.damage.parts': [[`${level}d8`, 'force']],
}

[opaque current]

Any feedback on what I've done that means this doesn't fire at all? 😄 (fixed typo pointed out below)

let item = args[1];
let tokenDoc = canvas.scene.tokens.get(args[args.length - 1].tokenId);
const level = args[0].spellLevel;

if(args[0] === "on") {
    const updates = {
        embedded: {
            Item: {
                "Shadow Blade Attack": { 
                    type: "feat",
                    img: "icons/magic/fire/dagger-rune-enchant-purple.webp",
                    data: {

                            parts: [
                            ["${level} + @mod", "psychic"]
                            ], 
                            },
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        };
await warpgate.mutate(tokenDoc, updates);
}
else if(args[0] === "off") {
    await warpgate.revert(tokenDoc);
}```

[dark canopy]

the formatting is broken, indicating a bad symbol

here: ["${level}" + @mod", "psychic"] is all garbled

need to use a string literal

`${level} + @mod`

[opaque current]

Oh literally including extra symbols isnt a good start

Mmm coming through literally in the (midi) roll card

[dark canopy]

did you use string literals?

(backticks)

[vast bane]

I think its the quotes there, they need to be the tilde symbol thing

What badger said

[opaque current]

I did not, it was in quotes. Changing it to backticks gives

[vast bane]

log out your args

[dark canopy]

so now log out level and any symbols you used to define it

[vast bane]

0 isnt always the answer

did you keep the quotes in?

pretty sure badger wanted you to replace the quotes iwth the backticks

[opaque current]

I replaced the ones around ${level} + @mod yeah

[dark canopy]

that's where undefined is coming ffrom

level is evaluating to undefined

[vast bane]

how are you casting shadowblade? is this an item macro?

[opaque current]

Yes

[vast bane]

wait, is it a magic items module spell?

or items with spells spell?

[opaque current]

No, just a spell with an AE executing Item macro

[vast bane]

oh that'll do it

you need to use my example not the warpgate wiki then

you need the cast data method

either that, or you have to pop something like @spellLevel or @item.level into the effect value of that effect, I forget

if you are putting it in an item macro and applying it as an ae, you honestly should just copy bugbears or my call lightning/scorching ray method with effect macro

Chris also has a few of them out there

[opaque current]

Was just doing it that way as that was the example I had for creating an item 🤷‍♂️

[vast bane]

Pretty sure you are just missing the thing in the effect value, if you go to the various midi srd spells and find one thats doing an item macro, I bet that can show you what to put in the effect value

[vast bane]

#macro-polo message

[opaque current]

Oh, recent too.

@covert mason could you post the finished Shadowblade macro you were looking at a couple of weeks ago?

[covert mason]

Sure, one sec!

[opaque current]

Works beautifully, thanks 🙂

[dark canopy]

distribute macros **not ** items

[opaque current]

Or nix the item description 😅

[dark canopy]

item exports have so much baggage, heh

[scarlet gale]

args[0].castData will have the cast at spell level

[vague relic]

@rough prism This is how you'd get the first target's actor, then use that thing Zhell wrote for you on said target actor

[scarlet gale]

I don't think you should be using _actor

[dark canopy]

shouldnt be using _ variables in general

[vague relic]

oops lol

not the only way to get it anyhow

[scarlet gale]

Personally I like using js this.hitTargets.first().actor

[vague relic]

could you just remove the _?

or would you need to find another way to get that actor

[violet meadow]

yes

[scarlet gale]

Probably

[violet meadow]

.actor is fine

[vague relic]

ooc, why is using the _ bad?

[dark canopy]

it generally represents "protected" methods and members in Javascript as it doesnt have actual protected member support

[violet meadow]

usually it denotes protected properties

[vague relic]

time to engage the google machine, and learn more

[vague relic]

Warpgate question, asking in here since this does use Midi, and idk where else to: I'm trying to make the token produce a light when it gets mutated, but no dice. Am I going about it wrong?

[violet meadow]

v10?

[vague relic]

yep yep

[violet meadow]

Create said light on the token manually. Log the token and get the correct object for the update of the light

[vague relic]

See, I did that, but it changed things in several paths. There's
token.light.yadayada
token.light.data.yadayada
token.document.light.yadayada

idk whether I should be changing all of these or what

the path with the most straight forward stuff to change is token.document.light, but changing that didn't work

[violet meadow]

tokenDocument.light

[dark canopy]

warpgate's updates are always applied to Documents

[vague relic]

that's what I figuredoh wait

i still have data in there

[violet meadow]

const updates = {
        token: {
            light: {
                data: {
                    alpha: 0.4,
                    animation: {
                        intensity: 2,
                        speed: 5,
                        type: "flame"
                    },
                    bright: 40,
                    dim: 80,
                    color: "#ff6d1f"
                }
            }
        },

I can see this in there

[vague relic]

yeah, figured it out

[last mural]

@violet meadow how do I add your midi-srd version from github to my server ?

[violet meadow]

Try this manifest: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thatlonelybugbear/midi-srd/master/module.json

[last mural]

worked, thanks ! :) didnt have the /master/ when i tried at first

[sinful hamlet]

Hello I'm using the formula {2d6,2d6}kh to give advantage on damage rolls for a move that deals 2d6.
But it won't even roll on its own and if I add a modifier the damage done is just the modifier.

It shows the damage roll correctly so I am unsure as to why it equals to 0 when calculating damage.

(Screenshot says kh1 but neither work)

[sweet burrow]

Hello, I have a basic combat encounters functionality question. I am having a problem where the attacking NPC keeps damaging itself, along with the PC.... or, the NPC keeps hitting itself.

[vast bane]

Not what you are looking for but heres my flametongue setup:

[vague relic]

i've got a setup, the light was the last thing

thanks though

[vast bane]

Its a macro.createitem setup where the command word bonus action only shows up if the sword is equipped and attuned, and I have the unidentified item setup on it too

[vague relic]

where are you calling that? as an effect?

that's the one thing mine doesn't do incidentally lol

[orchid hound]

you have both the target and the attacker targeted

you want to make there the token that is attacking is not targeted.

[vast bane]

how do you mean?

[vague relic]

not sure how you have it setup to add the item when it's equipped

[vague relic]

oh damn, I didn't know that was thing

neat

[vast bane]

when they attune to the unidentified longsword they get the Flame tongue longsword, attuned and equipped and it deletes the longsword, and then when the flame tongue longsword attunes/equips, the bonus action lightsource/bonus item damage turns on

well actually thats wrong

when the flametongue attunes the bonus action is created, and if they use the bonus action the bonus damage and lightsource starts up

[vague relic]

how are you doing the bonus damage

I've got everything setup through Warpgate, so this way of doing it is foreign to me

[vast bane]

warpgate mutation in the on use macro of the bonus action

[vague relic]

ah okay, so same way

i'm gonna use the itemcreate thing more though

that's super handy

[vast bane]

make sure anything you setup that way is in a compendium so its not accidentally deleted also equipment does not auto attune/equip so when you put them in their own compendium check the boxes for attune/equipped

the uuid's in the effect values are items stored in a special compendium

[vague relic]

does it have to be in a specific compendium?

[vast bane]

I made my own "Create Item" compendium so that they weren't mixed with my other stuff

[vague relic]

and you're putting "Compendium.world.create-item.(item uuid here)?"

in the effect value

[vast bane]

with the latest DAE version you can drag and drop items into the effect value field

so I drag the items from the compendium into the effect value and it creates it

[vague relic]

oh damn, yeah, that works lol

[vast bane]

if the source item is ever deleted the active effect stops working which is why you typically want to store them somewhere protected

[vague relic]

gotcha, thanks for this, gonna use it a lot now that I know about it

I've just been using Warpgate for making items, which I'll still probably do for macros that I wanna share for simplicity on the end user, but for personal use, this is way easier

[vast bane]

Either the user is targetting self and the defender OR the item details target and range are setup abnormally. If user error is ruled out share your item details of Slam. Melee Weapon Attack:

[vast bane]

if you need to figure out how to upcast and such for some items Bugbear shared a call lightning setup here and I shared a scorching ray setup here using macro.createitem, we used effect macro for the adjusting of the parts

[vague relic]

copy, thanks

[cerulean phoenix]

Using Midi's Challenge armor setting, is there a way to add to EC and AR? because when I do adjust it using an effect it doesn't seem to do anything.

and there's only system.attributes.ac.EC that changes it to my knowledge.

[cerulean phoenix]

Nevermind, the problem was that if EC was higher than AC, it would still hit even if its below EC.

[pine forum]

Doing some troubleshooting questions on this:
Which versions are you on with this working? (foundry, system, and token magic FX)
I'm on v10.291, DnD5e2.0.3, and TMFX 0.6.1.2, and I'm not getting the 'on hover' feature to work

[vast bane]

I don't think that feature is for DMs

[pine forum]

templates are still visible when logged in as player; even for templates belonging to other players

[last mural]

The feature works for me only when a tmfx effect is applied to the template

[pine forum]

ok, that's some progress.
thankyou

though i could have sworn it was working on the automated animations too back in v9

[last mural]

Either this option or a true 0 opacity fill color would be nice to have, please ping me if once you have more info 😅

[coarse mesa]

Me too 🤔

[errant cosmos]

Has anyone seen a behavior where MidiQOL (set to "Full Automation") does everything properly, but when a player is asked to make a Saving Throw it waits for about 20 seconds before displaying the results?

The play experience is something like:
"The bad guy casts Fireball... let me place the template... Huh, it looks like it says you have to rolling a Dexterity Save but didn't actually roll it... <confusion ensues>... Oh wait, it did it! It just took 20-30 seconds...!"

[last mural]

Did you check the saving throw settings? There should be an option : "prompt players to roll saves" where you can setup a delay before auto rolling

[coarse mesa]

Yeah if the GM is rolling on the players behalf, they’ll need to wait for that timeout first

[opaque current]

You don't have LMRTFY or Monks Token Bar so there's a good chance it's set to one of those and timing out.

[errant cosmos]

Okay thanks guys I’ll investigate!

[vast bane]

This sounds like a reaction timeout prompt or you have your saves set to MTB/LMRTFY without having it installed and the save times out

[errant cosmos]

Do you guys have a recommendation or preference for MTB vs LMRTFY?

[vast bane]

I prefer MTB cause I use all of monks stuff and they all work very well together

[errant cosmos]

I use at least a few of his other projects so I’ll test out MTB first.

[vast bane]

plus theres some automated fancy stuff with MTB around here somewhere

[errant cosmos]

Love that fancy stuff. 🙂

[vast bane]

We have shield bash, shove, taunt, and other skill contests automated in mtb

[errant cosmos]

Ooh… I’m interested in that. 🙂

Oh wait can it actually move the token?! That would be cool.

[vast bane]

Create a dummy item, and import this file to it in the sidebar

It will prompt if the shield basher wants to push them or prone them

requires item macro, midi, advanced macros, and MTB

and warpgate

[errant cosmos]

I gotta say spiritual weapon is like a continuous thorn in my side. When we sat down to play last night it behaved in a new way… generated a tile or template with the icon of the spiritual weapon spell but the player couldn’t move it and it didn’t have any way to click on it to do the attack and damage.

[vast bane]

and dfreds CE

[errant cosmos]

Excellent I have all that!

[vast bane]

My cleric still uses the v9 spiritual weapon premade I just updated the compatibility issues

I dunno why the v10 one was changed so dramatically from v9, if it aint broke, don't fix it

[errant cosmos]

Over the last 9 months I’ve gone through quite a few versions of Spiritual Weapon.

[errant cosmos]

Would you mind sharing so I can test it out?

[vast bane]

I only update things if people like Chris, fotoply, or Bugbear share something cause those guys typically make some cool things

Ok someone tell me wtf has happened lol????

What is doing this, I swear I have not updated at all and here it is totally new:

what module has changed the resource window like this???

[coarse mesa]

Tidy5E

[errant cosmos]

Wow mine doesn’t look like that. 🙂 Does it work?!

[scarlet gale]

Tidy update

You can change that on the settings

[errant cosmos]

Does it make an actor token that the player can use to attack..?

I wonder if I should add Tidy5E in my ongoing quest to have a usable Spiritual Weapon.

My poor cleric…

[coarse mesa]

It works great and I’ve grown to appreciate being able to easily see your remaining slots at a glance

[scarlet gale]

Tidy won't help with spiritual weapon

[errant cosmos]

Oh fine. :p

[vast bane]

I don't think its working right

if you don't check the box you can't cast the spell upcasted with this new ui

for instance I just wanted to test an upcasted 4 of it, unchecked the box so I didn't expend the spell slot and 4 just refused to do anything

nevermind, it is working fine user error

I'm getting the macro v10-ified right now in macro polo then I'll give you it

it has like 11 single datas that I can't sus out whether to yeet or keep

[pine forum]

do you currently have a persisting template in v10 that uses Automated Animations and utilizes the show on hover from TMFX?

would like to know if this is a dream worth chasing or if I'll just have to spit my spells up across different modules

This 100% worked for me in v9. I’m only gearing up into v10 now so I’ll have to play around. If it’s not working I’ll definitely report it, but I don’t think TMFX is being updated often

[vast bane]

Its too bad we can't override them all to be transparent blank images so we can utilize the feature withouthaving the graphics of tmfx

[coarse mesa]

There might be a workaround to apply an imperceptible TMFX to all templates 🤔

[vast bane]

you would have to make an override for every single spell and feature that prompts templates

[coarse mesa]

Well, the ones you can’t remove the template using A-A with anyway

I’m happy for A-A to remove template for fireball, lightning bolt etc

Something like darkness I’d want the hover function

[pine forum]

from the earlier conversations with the other above TMFX is definitely working in v10 for templates configured in it specifically, but if a blanket thing was working in v9 and we're all not just mandala effecting ourselves I cannot figure it out in v10.
Currently if this stays the case it'll become a divide between the two modules over what spells are configured where based on timing (fireball = AA, Web= TMFX, Spirit Guardians=AA, Darkness=TMFX, etc)

V9 warpgate/midi spiritual weapon

there is 1 compatibility warning left in it but its a warpgate issue not something we can change

I used to cast darkness a lot in v9 with the A-A anim and the TMFX hover. Ironically now that darkness works properly in v10 I don’t use that spell anymore
