MidiQOL

[vast bane]

it gets even weirder if you think about it if a player has a summons thats an npc

[near sequoia]

no need to get defensive here, I just got confused haha. I just thought it meant PC & NPC in the way that PC & NPC statblocks are different, and assumed it would work since I was only testing things with PC character sheets. Thanks for the help!

[rancid tide]

Is there a way to set up an item to be an auto crit?

[scarlet gale]

Set the crit range to 1 I guess

[rancid tide]

like an actual item, not through the workflow

[rancid tide]

What if it doesn't roll?

[swift kettle]

I recently saw this video and in it he automated the fireball damage, how can I do this ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9NkFbtJVnw

[scarlet gale]

Like doesn't make an attack roll?

Then just double the damage dice and call it a day.

[rancid tide]

Yeah I can't do that sadly because I need the actual roll to be seen by the workflow as critical for other features to work off of that

[scarlet gale]

I don't know if it'll change the damage roll, but you can do ```js
this.isCritical = true;

Put as an ItemMacro.

Might need to have it run pretty early depending on what you're doing for other things

[rancid tide]

Honestly it's better if it doesn't

[rancid tide]

Ty!

[last mural]

do you have midi installed? then you can find it in the workflow settings

[coarse mesa]

I haven’t watched the video but as it’s BW I’m gonna assume they’re using Monks Token Bar to prompt the players to roll saves for the fireball. There’s a setting in midi to use MTB for that

[vast bane]

I stopped the video once I saw it was that 3d stuff

[last mural]

did you find the necessary settings?

[vast bane]

I think it would have been nicer to share the time as well in the video lol, I don't want to watch a whole baileywiki commercial for 3d foundry

[last mural]

i clicked through it, it's 100% midi. zephyr is even mentioning after using the fireball 😅

[swift kettle]

3d is nice and is great if your players can handle it 🙂
Yes thx all worked out 😉

[solid wing]

Does anyone know why my attack roll cards are being removed from the chat log when I roll additional attacks? I tried google and a search here in the sever but don't know what to search for. I think/hope this is a settings option in Midiqol that I'm just not finding. I used Find the Culprit and I have the same issue with just Midi QOL, Dynamic Active Effects SRD, Dynamic effects using Active Effects, libWrapper, and socketlib.

Problem: When I roll an attack roll it shows up in a merged card and auto rolls damage (which I want) then when I roll another attack instead of adding another attack card to the chat log the second attack replaces/removes the first attack. I want it to display both attacks for later reference and can't figure out what setting is doing this.

I've got all my modules updated and I'm on Foundry V10 patch 6 build 291.

[plain bane]

hello guys, so I realized that the damage is not being deducted from the HP of the characters and with that I checked the logs that return the error in the attached print, can anyone tell me what this error is about?

[kind cape]

MIDI is not yet updated for 5e 2.1.1

[coarse mesa]

there really needs to be a second layer of confirmation for system updates that explains that modules might not be ready for it... ideally it would give you a list of modules that are confirmed as compatible, which would be a very short list on day one

@raven holly is there even a mechanism in core that could be leveraged for that?

[molten solar]

"All but three" is quite a long list tbh

[raven holly]

I'm in a dentist chair

I don't think so

[coarse mesa]

I count four... three of Tim's plus Tidy – which all have significant user bases

[molten solar]

How.

Don't answer that

[coarse mesa]

Item Piles is ready as of 2 mins ago too

[molten solar]

Easy change there at least

[viscid lance]

Anyone here know if 2.1.1 will be able to offer any type of enhancements for midi?

[coarse mesa]

Not in significant ways, there are several smaller things like hooks for initiative and we have attributes.spellmod now, so some setup will be a bit easier. One thing is we won't need to rely on midi for confirmation of deleting items (one midi setting tposney can get rid of)!

[muted tinsel]

is MIDI SRD spells not keeping track of concentration now? I thought it was forcing concentration checks if player was flagged?

[coarse mesa]

have you upgraded dnd5e to 2.1.1 recently? because midi isn't ready for that yet

[muted tinsel]

No, as many folks in here have stated and dnd5e dont update yet

[coarse mesa]

just checking you're using lonelybugbear's v10 version of the midi srd?

[muted tinsel]

This I am not sure

[coarse mesa]

you have this part?

return {damageRoll: `${diceMult}d6[${damageType}]`, flavor: "Hunters Mark Damage"};

try this...

return {damageRoll: `${diceMult}d6[necrotic]`, flavor: "Hex Damage"};

can prob delete damageType altogether if it's not used elsewhere

it's just flexible for hunter's mark because of different weapons

[strong oxide]

I changed it to] let damageType = 'necrotic';

[spice kraken]

Where did you install MidiSRD?

[strong oxide]

and it worked, I was missing the ' '

[muted tinsel]

Foundry, then found somewhere that said a file was misnamed

renamed the file

[coarse mesa]

try this one:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thatlonelybugbear/midi-srd/master/module.json

[spice kraken]

Yeah. you got the original, which is v9 only. Use the one Lukas mentioned

You'll need to remove any items from characters that you have added from the v9 version

[muted tinsel]

Thank you all!

[proud zenith]

Alright, so I want to place a token on each targeted token that fails a save. I think the one bit I'm missing is how I would get a list of only the targets that failed the save. Is it possible to get that from the postCheckSaves hook?

[scarlet gale]

this.failedSaves```
Contains a set of all token objects that failed the save.

args[0].failedSaves```
Will also have the same info, might be an array instead however.

[proud zenith]

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for

[fervent shard]

Yikes. MIDI was broken for me tonight, really threw me for a loop mid session

Is there a timeline on 5.11 fix or should I roll back?

I’ve got games Thursday and Friday as well

[spice kraken]

Are you on 2.1.1 for dnd?

[fervent shard]

ya

[spice kraken]

Check the pins

[fervent shard]

ok so rolling back is bad too. Yeah I was noticing 2.1 was funky too

[spice kraken]

Rolling back would be good...

2.1.0/1 is where it's broken

for midi that is

[fervent shard]

So roll back 5e or?

both?

2.03 works yea?

[spice kraken]

What is both here?

[fervent shard]

midi

[spice kraken]

Why rollback midi?

[fervent shard]

I dunno

I am clueless

[spice kraken]

There isn't an update for it

So just the system

[fervent shard]

ok so roll back 5e to 2.0.3?

[spice kraken]

From your backup, yeah

Do you know how?

[fervent shard]

on forge, no

[spice kraken]

Then I would ask in their disc since they do things differently. Sorry I can't help further

[near sequoia]

I'm trying to modify the midi-srd Hunter's Mark item macro to grant Advantage on all attack rolls. Is there a hook similar to flags.dnd5e.DamageBonusMacro / macroPass === "DamageBonus" that I can use for that?

[vast bane]

Only chiming in to say that its midi sample items not midi srd. Incase anyone goes digging for the full thing.

you could set the grants advantage flag on the target and have it evaluate true instead of a 1 with some sort of statement like "attacker = "whatever the code is for the actors name"

[violet meadow]

Better add on the attacker an advantage flag for all weapon attacks if the target is the marked one.

[vast bane]

that could also probably be a passive right?

no sense in attaching it to hunters mark rolling

[near sequoia]

I see. So if I understand this correctly, instead of having a Passive Effect on the attacker be a macro, I can make the Passive Effect use the advantage flag, and add the target = marked check as an inline statement in the Active Effects editor?

[violet meadow]

Sounds about right. I will double check in a while

[near sequoia]

thanks! also, thanks for the v10 fork 😁

[vast bane]

I think the code needs to be fancier though

target == effect label something yada yada, if I know anything its that it gets weird after the double ==

theres like a single i in there somewhere, If I can remember a premade I have that uses it I'll find it and share it but bugbear writes them in his sleep so he'll probably chime in before I find one he already wrote for me lol

[near sequoia]

haha its alright if you can't, I'll figure it out, I'm sure it'll take me 20 tries to get the js right xD

[vast bane]

I think its regex for the activation conditions right?

you basically use the same thing as the activiation conditions feature for midi in the effect value of those keys

so if you go find the activation condtion section in the midi readme theres examples there to work off of

but finding an effect label named marked is gonna have weird syntax

you can also look at midi srd/midi sample items that have activation conditions for examples too, like the mace of disruption

[near sequoia]

I'm guessing I can borrow from the Hunters Mark macro code that matches for that already. But I'm afk for a few hours, will have to look later

[vast bane]

yeah also sometimes the macros in the items will have them, I think hunters mark is an example of that, and some of chris' premade macros are good sources of ideas too

[steady estuary]

Is there any way to set **Midi QOL **to auto apply damage to a token after hit+damage are rolled? Similar to what AlwaysHP does manually?

[spice kraken]

What do you mean by after hit+damage?

[steady estuary]

1. I target the enemy
2. I use the spell/attack
3. The module rolls to know if i hit and what damage i caused (if i did hit at all).
4. Enemy gets his health subtracted automatically on the board.

I can only make as far as step 3 right now.

[spice kraken]

Look for this setting in workflow, v10 may have moved it somewhere else

[steady estuary]

That's weird, i have it enabled, but the damage is not applied.

[spice kraken]

Are you on dnd 2.1.1?

[steady estuary]

I am.

[spice kraken]

Look at the pins

Also the few messages are here
#dnd5e message

[steady estuary]

Thanks, that's bad.

[spice kraken]

Do you have a backup before updating?

[steady estuary]

I have a old version on my PC.

Damage is applied fine there.

But the world i use has already been migrated.

[spice kraken]

Yes, I get that

But did you make a backup of your data before you updated?

[steady estuary]

Yes, i have a old version stored locally. The updated one is on a separate server.

[spice kraken]

Then you can downgrade and restore

[steady estuary]

I will probably do that.

[spice kraken]

Obv if you made changes while on 2.1.1 you'll lose that

Do you need the steps on how to revert?

[steady estuary]

Sure, i think i can use some help.

I was thinking about deleting the 2.1.1 system and just throwing the 2.0.3 there. I have the same world in a old version stored locally as well, would do the same to it.

[spice kraken]

Let me see if I can find my last message of this before I type it out again

2. Find the manifest link for the version of your system you want (you can ask in your system channel for it) and install that
3. Restore your backup (copy paste so you still have the backup)
4. ???
5. Profit```

[steady estuary]

Nice!

I was hoping stuff would update until my game this saturday but i guess it will take a bit more to repair the damages of 2.1.1.

Thank you, @spice kraken !

[spice kraken]

Module devs work at their own schedule. If you run a module heavy game, pretend system/foundry updates aren't released when they are and wait a bit

[steady estuary]

Definitely. It's fine, let's wait for fixes.

[vast bane]

to be clear, you have to restore a backup, you can't just intsall 2.0.3 over 2.1.1

you will heinously mess up your data on everything if you migrate backwards and then forwards again later

[steady estuary]

I will not. I intend to delete the updated system and put in place the 2.0.3 one i have elsewhere. The world i will use is not migrated and is currently on 2.0.3. I think everything will be fine?

[vast bane]

that sounds like another way to say you are restoring a backup copy to me so you should be good

use great caution with updating systems and foundry builds even little updates can have issues with major modules. I also think caution should be had with module updates too, especially the cursed update all button when having many modules.

[steady estuary]

If anything i learned that the hard way now.

[spice kraken]

You had a backup so you're good. Plenty of people lately didn't

[steady estuary]

[left cargo]

Hey, I'm looking for something that reduce damage (D&D 5e). I mean, when I apply damage It will reduce it by flat number.

[spice kraken]

Use the midi DR fields (not dr)

[vast bane]

I think I'm having a stroke here but I dunno what I'm doing wrong...

No reactions are prompting for spells that don't do attack rolls, has this always been the case if you have fast forward off?

[violet meadow]

Reaction damaged should prompt, no?

[vast bane]

oh i have it set to reaction

hmmmm, not gonna help

[violet meadow]

👂

[vast bane]

Its kinda weird but here it goes...

Arcane Deflection, wizard can pop it to gain 2 ac or 4 to a save after seeing the roll

I don't fast forward, so optionalname macros won't work here

however the player is using df manual rolls, so I was trying to come up with just a way to make it so they are prompted that they can use it as a reminder, but I realize now that basically only advantage reminder can pull this off

I thought the reaction prompt could work but it just doesn't fire in time

but AR would put a message and a document link in the saving throw window

[violet meadow]

For the Saving Throw part, reactions won't help

[vast bane]

yeah, and AR won't either now that I see things

[violet meadow]

Hooks on the other hand 🤔

[vast bane]

the problem is he can use it after seeing it

is there a way to make me fast forward against just him?

or, is it implied that the victim needs to have fast forward on, or everyone does?

oh wait, I think I got it

how bout this, I just simply put a saving throw reminder like: "Hey don't forget you can use Arcane Deflection after you roll this"

[violet meadow]

Arcane Deflection is always on?

[vast bane]

the official version is, and if it would make it easier I'd be fine making it the official one

the cost of using it is that you can't cast a leveled spell for a whole turn

[dark canopy]

just thinking out loud as ive been using arcane deflection for a while

arcane deflection can be used AFTER you know you have failed a save, so, what if you gave them a +4 saving throw bonus and when it passes by 3 or less, resolve the differences by hand then?

[violet meadow]

Could do that too 😅

[dark canopy]

trying to think of the "default" condition, which would be "always use if result fails by at most 3", so assume its going to happen, rather than assuming its not going to happen

[violet meadow]

Does MidiQOL trigger the save or all is manual for that player?

[vast bane]

thats how I had settled on doing, but we're revisiting it cause hes complained that he constantly can't remember he has it, so I'm trying to come up with some sort of visual reminder

[dark canopy]

could just slap a status on them 🤣 , but you can only hand hold players so much

[vast bane]

when I cast the spells, on him, I'm prompted for damage, I click normal, then he gets the MTB request in chat

[dark canopy]

its so strong and a core subclass feature, they really need to use it correctly

[vast bane]

This is the best I can come up with:

Its usually possible to pull this off with midi but something about the way tim did save bonuses dictates that you have to have fast forward on to benefit from it so thats why I can't use the usual midi method

AR is too core to the way my table plays to turn on fast forward

Btw, my arcane deflection is not raw, its an additional feature for a non war subclass wizard so I limited its uses to balance

[dark canopy]

consider going with a global +4 save, and have that AR dialog have a quick "-4" bonus for times when you know you arent going to use it (no reactions, need a spell next turn, etc)

if you are homebrewing, consider maybe cutting the bonuses in half instead of limiting -- that way you can still assume "always on"?

just my 2 cents, may not be the best

[vast bane]

Yeah, I'm considering it, I really am

I'm gonna put it to him since ultimately its his workflow

I'll give him both ideas

ooooh I got a good one actually borne out of your idea

Put a self ae on him everytime he casts a cantrip that buffs his ac by 2 and saves by 4

kill the ae if he uses his reaction

I think I'd probably make it have a special duration of is damaged, is attacked, makes a saving throw

[dark canopy]

huh...roundabout...but clever, nice

[vast bane]

I don't really have an issue with it being more prevelant specially if I put in the special duration endings

I think the only tricky part would be trying to get it to go away when reaction is on them

I could probably put an effect macro on Reaction that removes any effects called "Arcane Deflection" on the actor

[slate rose]

I know it's been addressed ad nauseum but is there any work arounds to help midi work things like damage application in the mean time?

[vast bane]

disable midi and right click on damage rolls and apply damage

if you disable merge cards you can right click while midi's still enabled I think, and there are those br esque buttons you can enable too

but who knows what else is broken

doesn't solve all the mess with dae

[slate rose]

also very true. but thank you

[violet meadow]

Change utils.js:300 to ```js
let trait = duplicate(actor.system.traits[type].value.toObject());

[kind cape]

I suspect that there is more breakage other than that one line 😂

[vast bane]

well maybe tims just really busy this week hehe

its probably stuff related to the hp and ac changes

Anyone help me by making the 1 or 2 liner macro that I'd pop into the Reaction Active effect, that when its applied, it deletes any active effect on the actor named "Arcane Deflection"?

I was thinking an effect macro on Reaction from dfreds CE, and on creation, it deletes the other effect

[violet meadow]

For the most part when you deal with damage this fixes the issue with the traits becoming a Set instead of an Array

[violet meadow]

await token.actor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label === "Arcane Deflection")?.delete()

[vast bane]

Thanks hehe, I've never made an active effect with this many special durations lol:

have to test to make sure the attack one fades too early though

[limber haven]

Hello! I was wondering how to make a target automatically take damage at the start of their turns (1d4 fire)?
Using DAE, I've selected the attribute key as "flags.midi-qol.OverTime" and so far have "turn=start", though not entirely sure how to proceed next

[buoyant scarab]

is there a known issue ATm Midi QOL stopped applying DMG

[violet meadow]

https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/tree/v10#flagsmidi-qolovertime-overtime-effects

flags.midi-qol.OverTime OVERRIDE turn=start,damageRoll=1d4,damageType=fire,label=Fire Damage

[violet meadow]

Yes if you have updated to Dnd5e > 2.1.x

[buoyant scarab]

oh boo

[limber haven]

Thanks very much!

[violet meadow]

@buoyant scarab if you cannot wait till tposney fixes, this might help you

[violet meadow]

edited it a bit to match your ask

[buoyant scarab]

i can wait lol we can just manually apply

[vast bane]

type=fire should be damageType=fire

also if they are on v10 and if this is "on fire" probably actionSave should be utilized

[violet meadow]

I copy pasted from the one that had it as type ...

[vast bane]

I got it from the link you posted 8)

[vast bane]

they both must work cause the one on top has damageType lol

[violet meadow]

Yeah exactly... There is a small mistake in there. The Devil's Glaive probably is wrong

[vast bane]

I wonder if it made it into the item in midi

[violet meadow]

No I meant from all the examples I could choose, I chose that one 🤦

[vast bane]

I'll check to see if its in the item

yep, its in the item so if it trully doesn't work then that items probably gonna need an edit

I think it works

I think type actually works

[violet meadow]

Maybe both do then 🤷
Cannot test it now

[vast bane]

yeah, I know the other one works cause I follow the readme for that constantly

I can never remember how to do them so I have it stickied

the stacking doesn't seem to be working right on that item though

oooh wow, just now realizing how actionSave actually works lol

its cause I'm not performing an action so it assumes he staunches his wound

nope it is just broken is all, it doesn't have actionSave set:

Also type may not be working lol, I think somehow it defaults to the weapons damage if no damagetype is set:

Disregard all this I'm a dufus I stopped rolling the right weapon lol

Now I remember that ask I had of tim, it was for this weapon. Theres no special duration for isdamaged Healing

I am right about the type not workign though, the glaive does slashing damage but the overtime effect is doing piercing for some reason

when you change it to damageType=slashing it changes

[runic bison]

I’m having trouble after just setting midi. I selected full automation in the quick settings, and it works mostly okay. One problem I’m coming across though is that it even though I have it set to auto apply dmg, it doesn’t actually do it. In the combat log it’ll say target took x amount of dmg, but won’t actually apply it; the target’s hit points remain the same

[vast bane]

you chose the worst moment to try out foundry, dnd5e, and midi at the same time it seems as dnd5e just released a major patch and modules are going to need a few days to a week to patch it, and you installed that version

And sadly systems and foundry builds can't be reverted, you can either make a new world with the older dnd5e version or give midi a few more days to release a patch for it to work with the newest dnd5e

also you should always backup before system and build patches

then you can revert to the backup if theres something bad going on(and if you intend on being a midi user, usually you never update right away and wait for midi to announce compatbility)

[runic bison]

Ah, ok, makes sense I guess. I literally just got foundry yesterday lol guess I’ll have to wait for midi to get patched up

[vast bane]

if you have nothing in your world, you could just uninstall dnd5e 2.1.x, install 2.0.3 manually, and make a new world and everything will be fine

I actually don't know how to install older systems lol neve rhad to but I imagine its somewhere....

hmmm they took it off their page for some reason

[dark canopy]

this is a great time to get used to core dnd5e without many modules (or any...ideally, hehe)

[runic bison]

Geez, foundry gives me a headache 😂😂😂

[dark canopy]

jumping on midi as a new user is...probably not the best choice

[vast bane]

Fwiw, I think this is the url to manually install 2.0.3 dnd5e:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/foundryvtt/dnd5e/2.0.x/system.json

[runic bison]

Yea I guess I learnt that the hard way

[vast bane]

Most of the folks here always suggest taking your time before jumping into automation, but fwiw, I jumped into midi immediately but I was using roll20 pro with automation there so I had a need for midi immediately

[dark canopy]

and if i recall correctly, you rode the struggle bus for a couple weeks as a result

[vast bane]

but my players had fun and there wasn't as much of a shock from roll20 to foundry

[runic bison]

Yea, I wanted to try online dnd since my in person group can’t meet up anymore. Wanted to try automation just cause the core can seem awfully slow at times

[vast bane]

Also everyone keeps calling midi automation but you can totally run midi without automated damage and attacks and rolls

I'd argue monks stuff have more settings than midi does

[dark canopy]

fwiw, im running a high level group without much automation (no midi) and our rounds rarely take more than 10 minutes

practice with foundry and knowledge of the dnd5e rules are the biggest speedups

[runic bison]

Wow really? That’s good to hear actually

[vast bane]

but the most important lesson to be had here is to make sure you backup religiously, I do it weekly, but always definitely backup before you update systems and foundry builds

Its really easy to screw up your data in foundry when first starting out

[fervent shard]

Is there an ETA for midi getting updated? Is the issue minor or critical?

[sudden crane]

I think Tim said he would work on it this week-end

[fervent shard]

yay tim

[sudden crane]

But he has to update DAE and MidiQOL, maybe times-up, but not sure

[fervent shard]

It's kind of remarkable how midi is basically core to foundry at this point

[sudden crane]

For some, I know others would differ on that…

[fervent shard]

There's never consensus on anything lol

But, I would suggest there isn't a more important third party module on foundry

Maybe the DDB importer for the 5e guys

[spice kraken]

Keep an eye on the pins here and #package-releases. Devs tend to not say exactly when an update comes out cause everything they do is volunteer work essentially

[vast bane]

Dice Tray has entered chat

Not only is dicetray probably more used, its more used across modules systems lol

[molten solar]

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-gif-19124743

[violet meadow]

Come back and I will share some more ZamBoni for MidiQOL users

[vast bane]

Find the culprit and Dice tray for most used, but most loved is probably those cute lil otters in Baboni

[weary rune]

in v9 midi overtime doesn't seem to work on the first turn for a template area spell, in the situation where you want turn=start + saveRemove=true because overtime doesn't run on the first turn the effect is applied, seems the effect is applied during combatant turn after overtime would process. maybe I need to use doOvertime for this? This is for any area spell with start of turn/enter area once per turn effects (ie Web spell's Restrained saves, but web also has a static movement penalty in the area as well).

[vast bane]

sounds like you are expecting an initial save on the same turn its applied?

[weary rune]

no, just start of target turn

[vast bane]

can you clarify what the actual item is you are making if its published so we can sus out stuff

oh, is this an active aura?

I think for stuff like active auras you have to make a macro that declares them immune to it after, otherwise they just reget the ae while standing in the aura after the save

also saveRemove doesn't need to be defined unless its saveRemove=false

[molten solar]

Ping me when a midi user uses the new Optional Bibbity feature

[weary rune]

it's for Web spell, target area is save at start of target's turn/onEnter (once), and target area is also difficult terrain
I think save is start of every turn, even after you succeed. if you don't move out you get stuck again, you're not immune to the web on save.

[weary rune]

urg, there's too many wrong combinations of settings to get this working with plugins, looks to be impossible

[vast bane]

what module are you using, template macro or active auras?

or just a simple midi transfer on templates?

[vast bane]

are you trying to do all of this on 2.1.x dnd?

[weary rune]

trying to do it without macro, foundry v9, dnd 1.6.3, midi+active auras, CUB, 5e helpers, CE, DAE, etc many other plugins ~120

having major hassles with any spells that have an area that starts the effect on entry/start turn and expires part of it's effects on save. ie difficult terrain in area + does something like restrain.

[vast bane]

I don't think you can do that, I think that was the whole point of them getting Template macro was for the on enter triggers

[weary rune]

am I missing template macro?

[vast bane]

along with v10 yeah

[weary rune]

oh I see.

ack so close.

I'll stick with my hackish way of overtime with turn=end setting and calling it via macro at effect creation. i used it on cloudkill, might work

[fickle gull]

does anyone know a macro to make blade flourish work?

[scarlet gale]

I have one on my GitHub if you're interested in it. https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros/tree/main/Features/Class Features/Bard/College of Swords

Crit Other: true

(side note: yes I can just track manually, but occasionally I let players with absent characters be monsters fighting the party, so these filters help safeguard against players not reading the monster abilities in full)

[scarlet gale]

You on v9?

[pine forum]

v10

[scarlet gale]

You should probably remove the .data

i.label

[pine forum]

that'd help, it currently works, but yes it is an improvement

[scarlet gale]

Yea, shims help with that

Could do an item macro to zero out the damage if you really want

But an activation condition is just as good

[pine forum]

yeah, if the macro is longer than the activation condition, then I'd stick with the activation condition.
But 4 characters less and removing a depreciation is an improvement, so mission achieved

Oh no... it'd doesn't filter correctly.
Other status effects not on the list are counting as true... damn

will have to remove ||"Paralyzed"||"Petrified"||"Stunned"||"Unconscious" so it is only Array.from(workflow.targets)[0].actor.effects.some(i=>i.data.label === "Incapacitated")...
I flew too close to the sun in trying to list all the conditions that have incapacitated as a sub condition

[violet meadow]

["Incapacitated","Paralyzed","Petrified","Stunned","Unconscious"].some(c=>workflow.targets.first().actor.effects.some(eff=>eff.label.includes(c)))

[pine forum]

neat, will test this out when I get back to the office

[violet meadow]

Now if only tposney added the effects present on an actor in its rollData as he does with the flags 😅

@gilded yacht Could token.actor.effects be added in the Actor's rollData, the same way flags are added in?
I'm thinking about Activation conditions working against multiple targets for instance which have a specific effect on them 🤔

Or I could make sure all effects added on an actor include a flag of their label too 😅

[molten solar]

Just gonna point out there was a change to how getRollData works in 2.1.0

Internally, that is

[violet meadow]

checking docs

[molten solar]

All to say, double check it works as expected if you wrap getRollData 🙂

If it is as simple as bab does it, then it's probably fine

[violet meadow]

yeah in the v2.1.0+ testbed it seems fine

[violet meadow]

If you don't fast forward rolls it works.

I am now trying to find a way for it to work if one happens to fast forward rolls.

[pine forum]

thankyou again; added sleeping, and the && grapple to better represent the requirement of Extract Brain
Array.from(workflow.targets)[0].actor.effects.some(i=>i.label === "Grappled") && ["Incapacitated","Paralyzed","Petrified","Stunned","Unconscious","Sleeping"].some(c=>workflow.targets.first().actor.effects.some(eff=>eff.label.includes(c)))
damn mindflayer crits are scary... 😵‍💫

[edgy pagoda]

Hi.
Can Savage Attacks (Half orc) be automated? I would like to make an effect that will automatically add an additional dice of damage when using melee weapons.

[pine forum]

either have a DAE flag flags.dnd5e.meleeCriticalDamageDice | Add | +1
or go to Attribute on the character sheet, in Special Traits and add numbers to the Melee Critical Damage Dice

[vast bane]

I would personally add to special traits since its possible that way, leave ae's for things that can only be done via ae

savage attacks is always on anyway

[pine forum]

From what I recall from a conversation quite a while back, mixing @ filters with non-@ workflows causes issues in the Activation condition.
what would be a non-@ version of
["humanoid"].includes('@raceOrType') suitable for v10 to use in combination with && or || conditions?

not urgent, just updating some stuff to a compatible standard

or another more complex sample
["plant"].includes('@raceOrType') || ("@target.details.type.custom".includes("Object") && "@target.details.type.subtype".includes("Wooden"))
Used on Hew from LMoP, or the Woodcutter's Axe from Witchlight

[molten solar]

Good luck with that

[sudden crane]

activation conditions are just JavaScript snippets that need to evaluate to true… so you can do a lot…

Here is an example I used for my unwavering mark to add a disadvantage but only if not attacking marker and marker is within 5ft:

      {
        key: "flags.midi-qol.disadvantage.attack.all",
        mode: CONST.ACTIVE_EFFECT_MODES.CUSTOM,
        value: `'@targetUuid' !== '${macroData.tokenUuid}' && (() => {let dist = MidiQOL.computeDistance(workflow.token, MidiQOL.MQFromUuid('${macroData.tokenUuid}'), true); return dist > -1 && dist <= 5;})()`,
        priority: 20,
      }

[pine forum]

not what I was looking for, but damn that's nifty... saved and thankyou

[sudden crane]

I shared my complete macro for unwavering mark if you want…

[violet meadow]

(target.details.type?.includes("plant") || target.details.race.includes("plant")) || (target.details.type?.custom?.includes("Object") && target.details.type?.subtype?.includes("Wooden"))

[pine forum]

just did a search and download. will come in handy later

[pine forum]

will test now

[violet meadow]

The raceOrType will work for both NPCs and PCs.

probably better to use .toLowerCase() just to be safe

changed it a bit

[pine forum]

yeah, will test the second version now, first had the bonus damage on everything (triggered on giants, aberrations and undead)

[violet meadow]

ok the NPC type "plant" is not a custom one

[pine forum]

update correctly worked on wooden door, and not on giant/aberration/undead, but did not trigger on a plant

I assume there was a third update? latest copy/paste is different

timing with the alt tabbing

[violet meadow]

(target.details.type?.value?.toLowerCase().includes("plant") || target.details.race?.toLowerCase().includes("plant")) || ((target.details.type?.custom?.toLowerCase().includes("object") || target.details.race?.toLowerCase().includes("object")) && (target.details.type?.subtype?.toLowerCase().includes("wooden") || target.details.race?.toLowerCase().includes("object")))

🤕

[pine forum]

wow

but working!

go to the kitchen an get a cookie, you deserve it

[pine forum]

I know going to this length isn't a common that folks do for their weapons, but it definitely contains all the options people will need for their smaller versions

I'm gonna jump into another discord as pronounce you the cool dude of the day for that youmagnificentbugbear

I actually do this for many of you lot when you help me

[vast bane]

I just lurk here man.

[violet meadow]

Now that I think more about it, I have to check if raceOrType parses all the available fields before returning true or false 🤔

[molten solar]

Could just use BAB.

[timber oyster]

Hello there, is there any way to make it so tokens roll attacks with disadvantage when the opponent is unlit?

Or under dim-light

[pine forum]

as in in darkness? yes though you may need some modules

[timber oyster]

Oh nice, which ones could i use if you dont mind sharing?

[pine forum]

Token Light Condition (relatively new)

[timber oyster]

Thanks! will look into it right now

[pine forum]

it was made for pairing with Stealthy, but for what you want that may not be needed

and you want something to edit the conditions for Dim and Dark to have disadvantage flags on. I use CUB, others go by DF Convinient Effects

[timber oyster]

Okay, thanks a lot!

Is there a way for it to give disadvantage only if the opponent doesnt have darkvision? i played with midiqol so i know how to give disadvantage, but not how to check these values

[pine forum]

that may be trickier.
Token Light Condition is for auto applying/removing the conditions Dim and Dark, and then using your choice of CUB/Convenient Effects you set the flags on those, but I don't know about tying darkvision into the mix, and I'm not sure if there is a way to have that cancel out without interfering with advantage as a whole

[timber oyster]

oh, okay, then i'll go with manual advantage/disadvantage in that case

[pine forum]

sorry I'm not that far down the rabbit hole (yet)
I'm only Two Torches Deep so far

[violet meadow]

OK raceOrType will not parse any custom type fields for NPCs as far as I can test

[pine forum]

I'm sure kaelad ran into that back when they helped me first set up Hew a year ago

[vast bane]

I think the new stealthy module is exactly what you want

[kind cape]

Just to be clear, you are trying to make it so that all attacks against any target in dim light has disadvantage, unless the attacker has dark vision?

[vast bane]

something makes that automatic in midi doesn't it?

I know for a fact unseen targets are attacked at disadvantage in my midi setup

[kind cape]

Yes, but that's unseen

[lean holly]

Anyone know if there has been a fix or workaround for "killAnim=true"

[violet meadow]

https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/issues/1099
Not yet afaik

[violet meadow]

Under Rules Tab, in MidiQOL Workflow settings

The player just needs to Target via the Combat Encounter tab (or Mini Tracker module ❤️ ) and everything works 😄

[pine forum]

oh, curious on this one, how do you target unseen actors via the Combat Encounter tab?

[violet meadow]

Mini Tracker module actually

Monks Token Bar does this too iirc

[peak kiln]

Question for everyone. I can't get damage to apply to any enemies or players. Same with healing. Is that still part of the breakages from the latest update of the 5e module?

[violet meadow]

yes

[peak kiln]

roger doger

ill lurk for any updates then thank you

[violet meadow]

If it is really urgent to get MidiQOL going in dnd5e versions 2.1.0+
<#1010273821401555087 message>

But I would wait a bit more. Tposney mentioned that he will be trying to push a fix over the weekend

[peak kiln]

good to know. but it can wait for me. we already had our session. thank you

[limpid nimbus]

Question about automation performance, is this driven primarily by the GM client side or are the calculations happening server side?

[scarlet gale]

Workflows are run by the client, damage application is sent off to the GM to apply

[limpid nimbus]

So the workflows happen client side either by the GM or Player?

[scarlet gale]

Well, the GM is also their own client

[kind cape]

Its primarily the GM client though

[scarlet gale]

If it's something with an item macro, whoever clicks it runs the macro. Although the macro can use certain functions to have the GM do things.

Such as applying damage and applying active effects.

[limpid nimbus]

So am I right in assuming that these workflows are primarily using CPU cycles rather than GPU?

[scarlet gale]

I can't imagine the GPU is involved in the workflow at all.

Something specific happening you're running into issues with?

[limpid nimbus]

I figured as much. I get significant lag related to attack roll automation

[scarlet gale]

That's more likely related to latency

[limpid nimbus]

Server latency?

[scarlet gale]

Nothing in a regular attack roll should cause a significant amount of CPU usage

[limpid nimbus]

Because like I see the attack roll pop up on the chat card, but the time taken to finalize the results is significant

[scarlet gale]

And it's not waiting for reactions and timing out?

[limpid nimbus]

No that's distinctly different

It just appears like it's chugging away doing the workflow resolution

[scarlet gale]

If the computer was bad enough for that to take long I doubt it would even launch Foundry in the first place

[limpid nimbus]

I mean it's not a new machine, but it's not that old

[scarlet gale]

Could you try making an attack roll with the minimal amount of modules

Core + midi and it's requirments

[limpid nimbus]

In typical asking for IT help fashion, I don't actually have access to the game environment right now to check, but I'll circle back when I do

[scarlet gale]

Only thing that I could think of that would potentially cause a small amount of lag would be a large scene and cover automation.

[vast bane]

What would it have to work on in a workflow?

I'd say the DM has the socket module installed to protect rolls but thats not midi compatible.

If its pending on rolls, are you absolutely certain that its not the reaction timeouts?

or save timeouts for that matter, if you have a save module set in midi that you don't have installed then the players will timeout and auto roll will happen

[violet meadow]

https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/issues/1099#note_1239238229
killAnim=true OT issue seems to have been caused by Automated Animations in the end.
Fix in A-A v4.2.07

[sharp knoll]

Note, 4.2.07 will be released tomorrow. Got a few other items on the agenda

[charred drum]

how does one get damage from save spells to apply to a selected target?

[coarse mesa]

A-A is unkillable 💪

[toxic spruce]

How do I get it to work? Are there instructions?
I dragged auto sneak attack 10.0.10 into the character sheet. She does get the effect, but nothing happens. 🙂
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niKFEAbNGGc

[coarse mesa]

Does it not roll the sneak attack after the damage roll? (assuming you are eligible)

You never actually roll damage in the video, just tease

[toxic spruce]

what I did twice. Lol bad video. So no it isn't. But I can remake the video 😦

[coarse mesa]

I don’t use the auto sneak attack one, I prefer the player to have the option. Maybe for the auto one you need to have damage rolls fast forwarded or something 🤔

Did you try the non-auto sneak attack in midi samples?

(it’s still automated, it just pops a dialog to ask if you want to use it or not… you may want to save it for your second attack)

[toxic spruce]

I did, that is just dragging over the one, right. Here, let me show you...

[toxic spruce]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZff26Pe6p8

[gilded yacht]

Makes sense. Will add to the next release

[gilded yacht]

I think you'll find that midi is both popular and unpopular depending on how people want to run their game. Using forge as a proxy for the installed count (and forge installs overestimate the number of active users) much less than a third of games use midi. I'd suggest that dice so nice is way up the list of important modules (if not top).

[violet meadow]

Console logs of what happens when you roll for damage?

Is the rapier set as Finesse weapon?

And what is the Sneak Attack button in here?

What is Customize Formula too?

Are you using some other Module that changes Rolls behaviour? If yes, try without it.

[coarse mesa]

Good eyes!

[gilded yacht]

That's the cusomised midi roll feature. From recollection if that is active then sneak attack does not trigger - but have not checked for ages.

[violet meadow]

I had completely forgotten about the customizable Formulas settings.

But, still it prompts for the Sneak Attack damage Dialog for me when trying.
Only thing different is the Sneak Attack button in the damage Roll.

[toxic spruce]

That is just a situational bonus I but in, in the mean time

[violet meadow]

@toxic spruce hmm I saw the error msg you sent me.
Can you open the Sneak Attack item's ItemMacro?

And disable ASE module

[violet meadow]

OK. Filter the console for Errors only.

Clear it by pressing the

And roll the item that is supposed to trigger Sneak Attack.

See if anything pops up in console then

Try rolling from the character sheet too and not via Argon to be safe

[violet meadow]

OK no errors then.
Are you in combat?

[toxic spruce]

no

I was earlier, but not since you started helping

[violet meadow]

Is the rapier set as a Finesse weapon in its Details Tab?

[toxic spruce]

Didn't help.
Yup, and I have been doing dagger too just in case

Does it matter that Sneak attack is not "Sneak Attack 10.0.13" like it is in the macro?

[violet meadow]

And you are attacking a token with different disposition than the attacker, correct?

[coarse mesa]

No it can be renamed, at least that worked for me recently

[toxic spruce]

ok ty.
Do you mean that he is an enemy? Yes - great question though!

[violet meadow]

I would try only with MidiQOL, libwrapper and socketlib modules active.

[toxic spruce]

ok

Nope did not work. Dang it I was hoping.

I swear it feels like, I just don't have something on. Simple.

[violet meadow]

Import the Sneak attack from the MidiQOL sample items compendium from scratch. Delete the previous from the character sheet and drag that one on it.
Try again.

[toxic spruce]

It did not work. Made another video in case it is obvious. But my upload is a .... slow.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy_w97QR3dg

[errant gull]

I might be blind but does Midi not do a changelog anymore?

[coarse mesa]

#package-releases took me straight to it https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/blob/v10/Changelog.md

Oh it looks like master is no longer the latest on gitlab even though that’s the ‘homepage’ for the module

[errant gull]

Ahhh, that explains it.

Thanks!

[steel apex]

Hi all, I'm still on D&D 2.0.3 but I updated Midi to 10.0.25 as its been a while since I've played and now Midi is not showing up on my installed modules list in my world. Is it possible to downgrade / install an old package? If so, can anyone point me in the right direction of where I can find that on the Midi gitlab please? I've had a little look and can't find it but I'm sure it is somewhere obvious and I'm just missing it.

[violet meadow]

https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/blob/v10/package/midi-qol-v10.0.24.zip

[steel apex]

Thanks so much bugbear, you may have just 'saved' my game tomorrow. Serves me right for not checking the change logs and just assuming that as I hadn't updated my system I'd be ok.

[vast bane]

Check the rogue class identifier

I would also test with the rogue starter hero instead of your dnd beyond imported one

Also I think the renaming was done at the wrong point in the video as the active effect still states its source as the improper name

[vast bane]

midi in 2.0 dnd5e requires DAE to be at a specific version threshold to enable, otherwise whenever you launch it will auto disable it till you have corrected the dae version.

[steel apex]

Thanks, think that must have been the issue. I'll check on Sunday after the game.

[vast bane]

Yeah I have commmented on this before, the Master Readme seems to be set so that the v9 users aren't confused with new features I think, if you are on v10, you need to switch the drop down. I think he could probably safely swap it over to the v10 readme now

[placid sorrel]

is it "safe" to update dnd to 2.1.2 ?

[coarse mesa]

tposney updated his modules earlier today, I’m not sure if many folk have tested them yet tho. If you use Tidy5E you’ll need to disable that, it’s causing issues

[placid sorrel]

thanks, I'm using tidy as the main sheet, so i'll wait

[coarse mesa]

I’m waiting too, half of our players prefer tidy

[violet meadow]

That would not matter any more. The effect has the flag needed and just ItemMacro in the value field, which is automatically translated by MidiQol to the correct ItemUuid

[vast bane]

man I really wish code could be searched here

Alright I give up searching, @violet meadow the other day you gave an answer to someone about a modified hunters mark that gave advantage instead. I'm trying to automate the cloaker bite attack. It needs to apply blinded condition if it had advantage on the attack, what would I put in the activation condition?

[violet meadow]

workflow.advantage?

[vast bane]

will test it shortly

Thanks bud!

[toxic spruce]

Thank you. I am at a loss.
Made sure on the class
Created a new PC
and renamed the at the source

[vast bane]

if the rogue's identifier is rogue it will work with the feature, if it is Rogue it will not

I'd test it on a starter hero since those are guarenteed to work

if it works there then you know its something in the creation process on your end

[toxic spruce]

I created one, let me grab a starter

[vast bane]

it has to be a specific starter hero, the rogue

also if you are on version 2.1.x of dnd5e, all bets are off for functionality of midi

[toxic spruce]

Shit - I am. omg, if that is it, I feel horrible. What a time to just start playing again

Negative on the starter

[vast bane]

update to the newest midi that just released last night but also, it will probably be up to the smarter folks to tell us if premade macros need adjustments

[toxic spruce]

Ok, thank you so much, at least I can get back to game prep

[vast bane]

Tim probably didn't get to the midi sample items for this emergency patch, We might luck out and one of the smarter helpers here will be able to spot an issue in the macros

I'd share the macro here but its gigantic

best to just open it in your editors locally

[rotund oyster]

I just updated it and even though it's a little bit laggy it works it works so much I am so very very very very very very very very very very very very very very happy

Just want to say to the team or whoever did it thank you

Now I can torment my players efficiently

[odd sable]

Is there any good way to make a Feature/Item roll its "Other" field automatically, even if it's not an attack or something that requires a damage roll?

[vast bane]

why are you using an other field?

is the roll damage or a heal?

if so, make a damage/heal formula field and use those

[odd sable]

None of the above

[vast bane]

k, then you could try typing true in the activation condtiion?

[tropic vine]

I've tried it and it seems to be working so far. Midi that is, Tiny5E is still borked.

[vast bane]

you could also make it be a damage formula that deals [no damage]

possibly [nodamage] I forget

[vast bane]

#modules message Not lookin good

[tropic vine]

Ooh, bummer. I really like that sheet.

[vast bane]

I think someone will eventually put in the PR for it

[odd sable]

In this particular case since it was a roll to determine the range of the ability, I figured the Other value was better since it would let me set [Range] as the type, which seems impossible if I add [nodamage], maybe I'm better off using an Item Macro...

But I'll try this for now

[tropic vine]

Yeah, I've got a game tomorrow, so the players can just suffer. Thank goodness Midi was updated. I was sweating for a bit there. My own fault, of course. I know not to update right away and to keep backups, but sometimes ... you just press the button to see what happens. 🤣

[vast bane]

there is a really cool range finder macro that someone made...let me see if I can find it

const api = game.modules.get("babonus").api;
const dist = api.getMinimumDistanceBetweenTokens(token, game.user.targets.first());
ui.notifications.info(`Distance: ${dist} ft`);

measures source to target

Requires Baboni!

(Build a Bonus)

[winged kernel]

Does anyone know if there was an update to times up or DAE the remove a lot of the Special Duration conditions for the deration of the effect. Just go done with a game and some of my player effects and spells around attacking or being attack for the durations seem to not be working. After looking at the Special Duration I see now it only has turn start and turn end conditions. I looked and DAE and Times up git page but nothing about this seem to show up. I also try using find the culprit but could not get the additional conations to back. I am on version 10.291.

[vast bane]

have you updated since last night when dae released a new version?

keep in mind the new version was for the new dnd5e version

so you could have a mess of stuff atm going on, what are your dnd5e, midi, times up, and dae version numbers, don't say newest

[tropic vine]

Just for fun, I asked ChatGPT to, "Create a Foundry VTT macro in javascript that takes a token by the actor id and rotates the token 90 degrees." This is what it came up with:

let token = canvas.tokens.placeables.find(t => t.actorId === actorId);
let rotation = 90; // rotation angle in degrees

// Update the token's rotation
token.update({rotation: rotation});```

Now, this doesn't work, but it was interesting. I think this might have worked back in 2021?

[winged kernel]

@vast bane I did update modules but not update dnd5e before my session but after doing still seem to have the problem. dnd5e:2.1.2, midi:10.0.25, time up: 10.02, and dae: 10.0.15

[vast bane]

ok my bad, I did not communicate right, I did NOT insist that you do update to dnd5e 2.1.x, as that will break a bunch of modules, sorry for that. I was trying to sus out what you have, so we can figure out what was the change

its probably very likely that the newest dae/midi is only compatibile with 2.1.x

or the newest dae needs a new times up

[vast bane]

did you backup before you updated to 2.1.x dnd5e?

If you have 25 midi, 15 dae, and dnd5e 2.1.x, then you should probably post an issue to dae/times up, it doesn't matter which one cause both are tims modules.

[winged kernel]

I think I have a 10.286 or older version I can back up from. thanks for your help. Guess I just wait and see if time up get an update over the week.

[vast bane]

you are essentially beta testing for the rest of us

its usually wise not to mash the update button for high module count setups, only update when you got plenty of time to troubleshoot the changes amonst the library of modules you have

So, revisiting Chill Touch cause I'm enhancing it for a feature, and its occurred to me that I could probably pull off the disadvantage thing on it with an evaluation

But then I realized tim already made it and I'm dummy

is there a reason why tposney put both the ae's seperate on chill touch?

[dark canopy]

in short, dont trust any code ChatGPT gives you. Its not worth it.

#macro-polo is our version of ChatGPT that actually works 😆

[violet meadow]

MidiQol has its own function just so you know

[vast bane]

I got baboni installed anyway so I guess its a wash right, doesn't matter which one I use?

Do you know why tim made the chill touch 2 ae's instead of 1 ae with 2 keys?

[violet meadow]

Nope just saying cause someone might now have Bab

[violet meadow]

One is expiring sooner iirc

[vast bane]

oh wow you are right, the special duration is off, wow good eye

[violet meadow]

It's the spell raw

[vast bane]

thats totally something I'd miss

[rancid tide]

Does midi work on the new d&d 5e update atm?

[vast bane]

Tim released dae/midi/item collection last night, there could still be issues, some folks think that times up needs an update too

Special durations are behaving strangely in the new builds

[rancid tide]

Okay thank you, I'll wait a bit longer then

[hot flower]

TidySheet is still completely borked.

in the new update.

[vast bane]

midi would have nothing to do with tidy's status

[hot flower]

true. just speaking to modules still janky from 2.1.x

[vast bane]

Yeah anything that deals with items in general probably need a patch too, I'm waiting for inventory plus, SANE, and a few others. Possibly MEJ as well.

cause they changed the price fields and such

[hot flower]

MEJ?

which one is that?

[vast bane]

Monk's Enhanced Journal(its the journal alternative to Item piles)

[hot flower]

oh, rightj.

[vast bane]

Where item piles uses character sheets, MEJ uses journals, plus is a major prep tool in addition

[jagged bear]

Technically it renders its own UI, but yes, I utilize actors

[tropic vine]

Agreed. It might be a good hint at how to do something, but really, you can just look at other macros for that.

[toxic spruce]

Wasn't there a mod (midi?) that misfired jb2a animations when missing?

[coarse mesa]

Automated Animations does that for me (I do use midi so there must be some synergy)

[vast bane]

it is automated animations and the miss thing only works if you have midi, and have the midi setting for check hits/saves on

you also have to turn on the setting in AA

[left cargo]

Is it possible to make damage rolls display separately? Something like on screen (Ready Set Roll addon)?

[vast bane]

thres no need in midi cause midi auto applies damage in an efficient way or auto sets up damage application for the manual user

that attack would also likely fail to work in midi fwiw, custom flavors are not midi's friend.

[left cargo]

What a pity 😦 I really like how clear Redy Set Roll addon displays damage.

[coarse mesa]

Midi gives you the total, you click it to see details 🤷‍♂️

[left cargo]

Yes, but sometimes I roll damage that I dont want to apply.

[vast bane]

I think the thing about midi is, that you don't roll damage you don't intend to roll

[coarse mesa]

So in the above screen shot you have to apply damage three times? How does that work with concentration saves?

[left cargo]

And we use in campaign custom types of damage so resistance will not work.

[vast bane]

ready set roll is very "thow the dice and let the player settle it" while midi handles damage application automatically, or preps it for the dm to apply manually

[vast bane]

they don't use midi so Conc management is manual no worry about 3 rolls

unless they are using CN/CUB that is

[left cargo]

No midi on screen 🙂

[vast bane]

midi handles custom damage types, you just have to add them

[coarse mesa]

Our GM would hate all those extra clicks

[vast bane]

so in the above image it would be 3 clicks and human math to deal with that result, while in midi it would be 1 click(or none if set to auto)

[left cargo]

Ill look into it than 😄

[vast bane]

and if for some reason damage is dealt that shouldn't have, just hit the undo button on midi and manually adjust the hp bar

midi's undo is smart too, it can deal with overflow past 0

[left cargo]

You dont have to calculate it, you have buttons next to the damage to apply damage (Full/Half/quarter/healing)

[coarse mesa]

Or just use AlwaysHP to make quick adjustments after the fact

[vast bane]

thats also in core fwiw, and still 3 button clicks

[coarse mesa]

You would need to calculate appropriate concentration save DC, that’s what Moto means

[vast bane]

midi adds them together and reads all the damage types and parses immunity, vulnerability, and resistances

[coarse mesa]

Oh yeah that too

[vast bane]

and as of like 10.0.18 handles custom damage types

[coarse mesa]

Our table is so lazy with math now, I can’t believe we used to do it with pen and paper

[left cargo]

Ill check it

But, where can I setup custom damage types?

[vast bane]

I haven't had to actually look at that myself, but I'm pretty sure that they just have to match, so if a monster has resistance to banana damage, and you deal banana damage, it will halve

you can either add the custom damage in manually or use the active effect key for it

Its 10.0.21 that added it:

I think those are world scripts? I dunno a smart person will chime in I'm sure

[scarlet gale]

They should be

[left cargo]

So now, where can i find CONFIG.DND5E.damageTypes 😄

[vast bane]

its a world script, but its also technically a menu in your character sheets

I think if you make them world scripts then you don't have to use the custom field

the "How do I make a custom damage type" question is likely asked alot in #macro-polo , I bet you you can find it in the history easily

or ask real nicely and one of them will chime in

I like to put all my world scripts in the world script module cause then they disable with find the culprit

[left cargo]

I think It's not about macro here, because I know how to make custom damage macro, It's about, how to make it work with midi qol

[vast bane]

midi will read the damage types just fine, its just a matter of getting the world scripts going

[left cargo]

I'll look into it

[vast bane]

they are meant to add a damage type to the character sheets

[violet meadow]

Yeah. Like the Flanked Condition Immunity here 😄

[vast bane]

ermergerd I kinda want that!

[violet meadow]

My big boy cannot get flanked and my players just wonder why

[frosty veldt]

Hi newbie here. I wanna try doing some simple macros for my group but I think I am hitting a block:
I want to make a Macro that when a player takes a "hide" action, it automatically roll "stealth skill check" for me
(The "hide" action is a active ability in feature)
actor.rollSkill('ste'); is what I put in the item macro. Am I missing anything? Thanks for the help

[vast bane]

I don't actually bank rolls anymore in dnd, I have a macro for hiding but its on demand and is a contested roll vs its target

Requires monks token bar, advanced macros, midiqol, dfreds CE

[dark canopy]

to answer your question, i think you put ItemMacro in the "On Use Field"

[vast bane]

If they don't have item macro module, then they put the name of the system macro they made

thats a fully created from scratch item whats wrong with it @dark canopy Its not copyrighted

[dark canopy]

its not the item i was swatting 😆

it was the half dozen modules that came along with it

[vast bane]

this is midi, 4 modules is lite in comparison to most stuff here

[dark canopy]

back to the question, which is using item macro -- is ItemMacro the correct thing to use in On Use?

[frosty veldt]

Good Lord you two are amazing! I put the little one-liner macro in "On Use Macro" and it works

And I will try the contest module thank you.

[vast bane]

that shouldn't work

the on use macro field should only take names of macros, either ItemMacro if you have the macro in the item, or a system macros name

[frosty veldt]

Oh sorry I meant I created a macro, and link it to On-Use-Macro

[kind cape]

Just gonna jump in here and point out that the Stealthy module exists, of course if you just want the roll without actually making them hidden thats a moot point

[vast bane]

I shared a pretty clean contested roll macro that hides on success

[kind cape]

Stealthy does it a bit more fancy 😉

[vast bane]

I dunno, badger sold me on not using banked rolls anymore ;p

[kind cape]

Banked rolls? 🤔

[vast bane]

rolling well in advance from when the roll is used

my players just declare they are attempting to hide, and then when they go to do anything that involves contesting it, they press the button against the target

[kind cape]

Ah, that makes sense

[scarlet gale]

Why would you do a contested roll for hiding?

[vast bane]

they don't, they do a contested roll to see if the creature they are attacking sees them

[scarlet gale]

Is it contesting vs their passive perception?

[vast bane]

I get that its usually passives but my table allows free cha/wis/int checks once per round, plus the passive system was meant for pre vtt days

[coarse mesa]

I think Stealthy is great during combat… if someone takes the Hide action they just roll stealth and boom they’re automatically invisible to anyone who doesn’t beat it with their passive. Creatures can of course challenge it with a Perception check, it may be “banking” but hardly anyone hides for more than a round

[inland tendon]

Is there a better place to ask DAE questions or can those go here?

[vast bane]

true, but then you have to manually edit creatures with advanced senses

this is why I like the contested roll, the advantage/disadvantage is dealt with in the roll

[coarse mesa]

Not if you’re using Adequate Vision

[vast bane]

adequate vision can tell when the passive should be + or -5?

[coarse mesa]

Stealthy handles that I believe, haven’t tested yet tho

[dark canopy]

You can start here 🙂

[vast bane]

nah in the examples on its project page it says the DM has to edit the banked rolls

[coarse mesa]

I thought you were talking about blindsight, tremorsense etc, although hide works against those iirc

[kind cape]

Experimental option on stealthy

[coarse mesa]

I knew I’d read it somewhere… haven’t had a chance to try it yet tho

[inland tendon]

Is it possible with DAE to create an effect that adds spellcasting modifier to all cantrip damage rolls? I know I'll be using @ attributes.spellmod but I'm not sure how to get it to apply to cantrips only

[vast bane]

at most theres 2-3 spells you need to moditfy

[scarlet gale]

Midi has a flag for that iirc

[vast bane]

just edit the cantrips

[inland tendon]

Normally I would but this is for a feature that can be dropped onto NPCs as needed

[scarlet gale]

Easy to do with an one use macro

[vast bane]

in DAE, type potentcantrip

nope wrong one damn

[scarlet gale]

That's half damage on success

[vast bane]

I can't find it if it exists

[scarlet gale]

Don't think so

[vast bane]

to be fair, the potent cantrip is srd

I think the other one is tashas...for clerics?

[inland tendon]

yeah, this is the potent cantrip feature for sidekicks from Tashas

macro it is, I guess

[vast bane]

maybe baboni?

[inland tendon]

I was playing around with that too, but didn't have much success. But I just got it so I'm still learning that module

[violet meadow]

You can have a filter on when the extra damage is applied, based on spell level in Babonus

[kind cape]

Yeah pretty sure I've even seen a babonus setup for this

[molten solar]

literally

[tribal hill]

Is the latest update fixing all the breakages or just some?

[frosty veldt]

Hi I was following the amazing guide of https://gist.github.com/trioderegion/5685387362ce90498bf83f87f1ddf84d
and implementing Dragon's breath. I can successfully grant the target a "Breath Weapon",
but once I remove it, and cast the spell on the same target, the following error pop out:
Warp Gate | WARNING | Duplication mutation name detected, "Dragon's Breath Ability". Stopping mutation.
and the spell is not added.
Am I missing anything?

[novel gale]

Did anyone every find a good macro for Healing Spirit? One that heals you when you enter it automatically, for instance?

[dark canopy]

how are you removing the dragon's breath?

[frosty veldt]

oh I go to the spell list and remove it using the "x"

[dark canopy]

that'll do it! Instead of deleting the granted item, you want to click the "revert" button at the top of the actor's sheet

warpgate tracks a bunch of data when changes are applied, that will revert any and all changes made by the last mutation (dragon's breath, in this case)

[frosty veldt]

Ahhh I see. Thank you for your guidance.
Follow up question: is it impossible to link this mutation to the concentration? Like if I drop the concentration the mutation will be automatically removed?

[dark canopy]

if you can have something trigger when concentration is dropped (maybe effect macro?) then you can call revert on that token easily

the key is triggering a script to either remove conc and revert, or potentially get tricky with the mutation stack and tell warpgate to also delete concentration when you revert

[frosty veldt]

I see I will take a look into it. Who know DnD can be this fun with Javascript.
Have a great night sir. I truly appreciate your help today.

[dark canopy]

o7

[scarlet gale]

One thing you can do is have an effect macro handle the mutation revert. If you set the origin on the effect to the item rolled midi will remove the effect upon concentration being removed. I do it for my version of dragon's breath.

https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros/blob/main/Spells/Dragon's Breath/Chris-DragonsBreath.js

I grab the item data out of a compendium instead of having it embedded in the macro.

[vast bane]

If there is any issues, report them so he can fix them, but he released this one so that people could start reporting with a more functional dae/midi.

@violet meadow Otigan said in another channel that the newest Automated animations fixes the issue with killAnim for active auras+midi things and specifically spirit guardians with global recognitions.

[vast bane]

I can confirm for sure it tackles and fixes the spirit guardians global recog glitch, everything works as it should now

However, moving creatures on their turn into spirit guardians is doing this now:
It rolls the damage in chat but the damage card fails to show to apply damage

10.0.24 midi, 10.0.14 dae, 2.0.3 dnd5e

SG's item macro says it is version 10.0.10 SG

That error seems to be random when it happens, not everytime a creature moves in, also any creature that gains SG's effect from walking in, their ae they have on them doesn't wear off when the concentration drops on the caster of the spell

[cobalt schooner]

I am trying to create an item with a spell stored using Magic Items Module.
When I cast the spell from the inherit section (stored in the item), midi does not work.
If I cast it from the player (same spell, but in players spellbook), everything is ok.
Any ideas how to fix it?

[vast bane]

switch to Items with Spells

before you switch, turn off all you MIM's if you use tidy

[cobalt schooner]

Is this another module?

[vast bane]

Items with Spells is another module that looks very very much like magic items module but doesn't have all the downsides of synthetic weird items inside of items that throw all the modules off

the only thing items with spells lacks is the premade module items, but pretty sure MIM is broken in 2.1.2 dnd5e due to the items inside of all the premade items not getting migrated

[cobalt schooner]

Thank you very much! You saved me. This new module works like a charm!

[vast bane]

Don't suppose anyone has a handy dandy on use macro that applies a condition if the targets hp reaches zero?

If the poison damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, the target is stable but poisoned for 1 hour, even after regaining hit points, and is paralyzed while poisoned in this way.

[violet meadow]

I have one shared here, but it might need some v10 luv.

But it can be done easily with an effect which is deleted on special duration "reached 0Hp".
EM then fires on deletion, with the DFreds API call to apply a condition

Don't remember if EM has an integrated trigger for that too

Hmm though there might be a few issues with that though now that I think about it.
You will need to make sure that the damage dealt is poison to trigger that effect?
Oh well... 🤷‍♂️

[vast bane]

do you know what you called it so I can find it lol

I actually have a janky way of pulling this off

[violet meadow]

Hp 0 boom?
That is totally different to what I suggested above

[vast bane]

I was going to put a reminder in the damage popout with a second item roll document link that puts poisoned/paralyzed on the actor

or remind the DM to do it after

[violet meadow]

This monitors effect parent's hp and does things when needed .

[kind cape]

The enhanced effect only applies if its that specific attack that reduces the targets HP to 0 btw

If the poison damage
Emphasis mine

[violet meadow]

I am on the train and reception is so and so... So the I am like talking with some delay 😁

[vast bane]

yeah I dunno, I think I'm just gonna retreat to an advantage reminder

on all damage messages remind myself about the poison effect

[kind cape]

But its not on all damage messages? 🤔 Which creature is this?

[vast bane]

the way AR works, is you can just put reminders unrelated to mechanics

also AR only has 1 damage message flag so I can't control where the message shows, but the damage message would be the best

[kind cape]

Yes, but what creature? 🤔

[vast bane]

Giant Wasp, but this could also get used for Giant Spider and Drows

they all have poisons that do things to 0 hp people

[kind cape]

Okay yes, so its when they make that specific attack, if the poison from it reduces the target to 0 HP they get paralyzed. Even if they are poisoned and another creature reduces them they don't get paralyzed. So a simple item macro that triggers at the end of the workflow no?

[vast bane]

yeah but I dunno how to write it

[kind cape]

Just in a league game, will see what I can throw together after ^^

Hmm just realized, this might not work without automatic damage application 🤔

[vast bane]

fwiw, I use that, but also fyi, I have an advantage reminder setup for it, so if this is going to be really difficult to do, you don't have to burn your personal tiem on this, I have a manual way of pulling this off well

I have a second item that aplies the hour long debuff, and a reminder everytime the wasp deals damage to use that other ability if they are at 0 hp

[vast bane]

Here is my Janky Displacement feature for Displacer beasts. I have special duration set for the effect to if at 0 hp, and if damaged. Then I have the item set to roll to apply the effect, and it recharges on 1. Janky, but I feel its decent enough. I think I could janky it up even more by making a second ability that is always on effect, with an effect macro that applies displacement at the start of turn via EM too?

actually, it could be all just one item. Have the displacement effect apply on item roll to self, and then have the EM effect set as apply on equip, and rolls itself at end of turn

[pine forum]

Does late targeting prompt for anyone else on legendary actions?
Mine doesn't want to.

[vast bane]

do you have late targetting turned on?

[pine forum]

yes

[vast bane]

it has two setting locations

you need it on in the DM tab and on outside the workflow button entirely

[pine forum]

on and on

is your's working on legendary actions?

[vast bane]

report the issue to tim for midi

if you can check the console and see if the yellow message is more informative there, that would help

[pine forum]

repeat question: my original question - is it working for you?
My intent was to open an issue for it, but I wanted to be sure it was a general issue first and not specific to my settings

[vast bane]

I'm not on the same version as you

its working for me

[pine forum]

thankyou, that was the answer I was looking for
issue ticket lodged

[proper forge]

It seems like the -[element] resistance functionality isn't working right now - or I'm doing something wrong. Adding -fire into an effect isn't removing a creature's fire resistance.

[vast bane]

more context here, cause nothing of what you said matches anything midi likes

[proper forge]

I have an effect for Elemental Adept that uses DAE and Midi's -[element] options to remove fire resistance, with a duration of on-hit. Unless these aren't actually from Midi and I've been misled. 🤔

It worked perfectly before I updated to v10, but now doesn't seem to apply.

[vast bane]

it could be that your v10 update reset the optional rule for on hit

[proper forge]

The effect is appearing and disappearing properly - what's not changing is the creature's fire resistance.

[vast bane]

what version of dnd5e, midiqol, and dae are you on?

version numbers pls

How would that work in an active effect?

the damage happens before the ae is applied

[proper forge]

Foundry: 10.291
DnD5e: 2.1.2
Midi: 10.0.25
DAE: 10.0.15

[vast bane]

report it as a bug to midiqol, sadly 2.1.2 dnd5e is very new and his versions that work with it were hurried

[proper forge]

I'm using preDamageRoll in the active effect

It auto-applies the effect on the start of rolling damage, then removes it after.

Of all things to break, I thought that part would. 😄

[vast bane]

its actually stuff related to damage types and traits that would have broken in 2.1.x

its why damage wasn't auto applying before the emergency patch

[proper forge]

Indeed.

[vast bane]

Ok, so, I got displacement automated well. The only parts I can't figure out how to automate is how to turn off the effect if they become grappled, restrained, or incapacitated.

[kind cape]

If its an overtime effect then maybe the applyCondition?

[vast bane]

I have it setup where displacement has 2 active effects, the first is an EM macro effect that launches the items roll at the end of the creatures turn, the other active eefect is self/self aplied on roll, that grants disadvantage to anyone attacking it, it expires if its damaged or reducd to 0 hp

[kind cape]

Also tried with the macro stuff, and yeah it only can really work with automatic damage application.

The second best I've figured is to apply an effect that expires at the end of the current actors turn, and in that effect test if the target hit 0 HP then do stuff. It works, but it is not limited to the single attack

[vast bane]

but essentially I also need special durations for is incapacitated, is grappled, is restrained

[kind cape]

By the way, @gilded yacht is the special duration is damaged supposed to expire before the damage is applied? If I apply it as part of an attack it expires before I get to press the "apply damage" button when in manual mode.

And related to that, is the workflow supposed to run after damage is applied when in manual mode? It feels like it should, but it doesn't look like it does. Maybe just a new "post-damage" hook?

[vast bane]

I think theres an optional rule for is damaged

[kind cape]

There is for 1 hit/attack/action, but thats different 🤔 I might have missed something though

[vast bane]

thats what I was confusing it with

[sudden crane]

@gilded yacht I think this line should be an add instead of a delete…

https://gitlab.com/tposney/dae/-/blob/v10/src/module/Systems/DAESystem.ts#L267

[vast bane]

is that related to the elemental adept bug just found?

[sudden crane]

I think it could, but there may be another problem elsewhere

[sudden crane]

I think it used to remove it on a hit, but now is should be removed after damage is done:

https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/blob/v10/Changelog.md#L412

[kind cape]

In my testing right now it seems to do it when you would take damage, as if automatic damage application is on

[sudden crane]

I think you are right, it check the detail damage for the target token but if you do not auto apply damage this damage is effectively the damage that would have been applied if doing auto damage application….
How do you apply damage to targets?

With damage card?

[kind cape]

Yes

[sudden crane]

Then maybe Tim could add some code to handle this case… it would need to update the actual method that removed the effect on is damage to verify if auto damage application is on and add some code in the damage card apply code to expire effects with isDamaged expirations

[inland tendon]

with the OverTime flag, is it possible to set it to proc at the start/end of the source actors turn? Example - the aasimar's radiant consumption does damage to all creatures within 10 feet at the end of each of its turns

[kind cape]

Kinda, you can add the overtime to the aasimar and then trigger a macro when appropriate, but you can't add the effect to other actors and have it trigger automatically based on the source actor.

[inland tendon]

cool thx

[vast bane]

I would not use that as an overtime effect

I would use that as an EM macro that pulses at the right time

[toxic spruce]

Good morning!
I am trying to program Ice Knife, and was wondering if one of you knew of a spell similar that I could augment 🙂
You create a shard of ice and fling it at one creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 piercing damage. Hit or miss, the shard then explodes. The target and each creature within 5 feet of it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 cold damage.

[civic fog]

Hi! Anyone around to help me QA my combat automations?

[vast bane]

have you searched here? I'm still using a v9 version that automats it, I'm sure someone has made it since

[vast bane]

if you have specific asks go ahead and ask but everyone uses midi differently

[vast bane]

#1010273821401555087 message

[civic fog]

Honestly, I'm not even sure I set up the base properly.

[vast bane]

show me what an attack looks like in chat

and what you want it to look like and what you don't like about it

[toxic spruce]

OMG ty

[civic fog]

See, that's the thing. I think I know what to expect... but what I expect, and what's happening are two different outcomes.

For example - the combat rolls of one test character is taking a very long time to show up in the chat messages log

and sometimes doesn't show up at all

I've attempted to follow others' examples of how to set up MidiQOL, but I'm pretty sure I've rolled all 1s

No Luck feat for me IRL

I'm not seeing any associated animations, nor am I seeing the combat rolls automatically resolve

that's why I'm wondering if I even set up the base settings properly

[mellow fossil]

need some help, troubleshooting automating spell damage with midiqol. When i toss a fireball on NPCs all the saves roll automatically and damage is rolled automatically as well. If amogn these NPCs there is a PC. No save happens. No damage happens.

[toxic spruce]

Does anyone remember off hand what it is that removes the spell template after casting? I have been just manually deleting them everytime

[scarlet forum]

Hi!
Is there any way to apply an effect on "1dx" round?

[spice kraken]

Can you elaborate

[scarlet forum]

Yes of course !
I'm trying to set up a skill that inflicts a condition that has a random duration, included in "1d4 round", and it's this randomness where I wondering if it's possible to set it up when applying the effect?

[scarlet gale]

Could make the effect with a macro.

[scarlet forum]

Oh. :O Do you know of any random macro that has a random duration like that?
Maybe I can get the "random" part of the macro and just apply it with Effect Macro, maybe. (Full macro writing is not my level. >.<)

[kind cape]

So after 1d4 rounds stuff happens?

[scarlet forum]

No the effect is applied for 1d4 rounds, and is then removed.

[kind cape]

Should do it

Hmm actually that might be broken 🤔

[scarlet forum]

I just tested (but it seems I had already tested) but it does not work :x

I wasn't sure what this box was for. :'D

[scarlet gale]

If that's not working, could do an effect.update to change the duration.

Something like:

let roll = await new Roll('1d4').roll({async: true});
roll.toMessage({
    rollMode: 'roll',
    speaker: {alias: name},
    flavor: 'Change This'
});
await effect.update({
    'duration': {
        'turns': roll.total
    }
});```

On creation effect macro, untested.

[frosty veldt]

Hi I have a more general question: Is it possible to trigger reaction on other player/token's action?
So like "cutting word" reacts on attack roll, and "counter spell" reacts on casting spells

[mellow fossil]

what does the enforce reactions and bonus actions on midiqol do?

[scarlet forum]

It works! Thanks a lot!
I had to change 'turns' by 'rounds', otherwise the effect went directly from 4 'turns' to 1 'turns' (for example), I don't know why, but with 'rounds' it works well I think! Thanks for this! :D

[mellow fossil]

Need some help about automating spell damage with midiqol. When i use a spell with a measured template on hostile NPCS, everything runs smoothly. Even something i previously did not have in foundry, which is a feature that removes the spell template when you advance the round. When i do the same previously mentioned action on a group of hostiles and friendly units, my player is not requested a save, only the npcs. and the new removing template feature doesnt occur.

[vast bane]

If the creature they are attacking has reactions, there could be a pending reaction prompt, or you could have a save module setup that you don't have installed. If you give us some snippets of what your attack workflow looks likein chat, as well as midis settings for workflow button>workflow tab>saves subsection that could shed light on those two problems easily.

you can make a snippet by holding down left shift+startmenu key+S in windows 8.1+ OS, sometimes it requires being held down a few times to take. then you drag across where you want the snippet to be

then you can just ctrl V into chat here and it appears

[civic fog]

I’ll DM the snips so chat doesn’t get flooded.

[analog nest]

im trying to get Midiqol to trigger the attack of opportunity quick card and I cant seem to get it to work.
would anyone have any ideas of what i can do to get it to work? the effect is checked yes in the setting...

could it be because an actors sheet doesnt have anything that states reaction? 🧐 or perhaps I have a problem

[vast bane]

reaction prompts only work when the actor is the target of a spell or attack

also attack of opportunity quick card sounds like a bad module to have with midi, whats it look like?

Midi does not work with:

Ready Set Roll
Better Rolls for 5e
Roll Groups
Fast Rolling by Default
Fast Rolls or Quick Rolls
Dice Tooltips
Taragnor's Gm Paranoia
WIRE(Whistler's Item Rolls Extended)
Minimal Roll Enhancements
Retroactive Advantage/Disadvantage
Max Crit

[analog nest]

so midiqol doesnt trigger attacks of opportunity by itself? 🤔

[vast bane]

nope

[analog nest]

may not be the thread to ask, but do you have any suggestions for modules that can do attacks of opportunity?

[shrewd cradle]

is there a non-mind numbing way to convert everything that can give an effect to the active effects version?

[thorny solar]

So a question about Hunter's Mark item from the samples. My DM is allowing the changes to it from OneD&D, How would I remove the Concentration requirement from the macro without affecting the rest of the automation?

[vast bane]

nothing like that would work with your roller module

[vast bane]

you are definitely going to need to rephrase this lol?

[shrewd cradle]

so, barbarian has rage, when imported from d&d beyond it's just the button, uses one of it's uses, and nothing happens. But when I use the DAE version of rage, it applies the rage effect to the token. There's obviously tons of things that give different effects, but it seems like i have to swap each one, one at a time to the DAE version, or add the effect manually to the standard SRD version

[thorny solar]

I believe D&D beyond importer has a setting to use the MidiSample ones.

[shrewd cradle]

hmm let me see

[vast bane]

Thats weird cause Mr.Primate is one of us, so to speak, hes got a ton of premades for midi, you must not have a box checked maybe?

also you said dae version, I hope you do not have DAE SRD installed, that module is very dead, Dynamic Effects using Active effects is a different and very important module, but DAE SRD is dead, should be deleted

The rage you want is from Midi Sample Items compendium

[shrewd cradle]

oh i do have that installed

[vast bane]

Dynamic Effects using Active Effects ✅
DAE SRD ❌

(Unless you are on foundry version 8, then by all means dae SRD is great to have)

[shrewd cradle]

i had both lol

[vast bane]

you want the green checkmark one cause thats the mainstay midi companion

10.0.14 in dnd5e 203, and 15 if you are on 212 of dnd

[shrewd cradle]

but yes, i now see in d&d beyond importer there's an active effects tab. it's quite obvious lol

[vast bane]

Mr Primate probably has rages for the special subclasses so stick with his if you got a zealot barb

if you have a zalot barb and he didn't automate it, I got it for you if you want

(the macro not the item)

[vast bane]

Me just realizing that you can do equations in overtime....

[vagrant wharf]

how would I specify this regeneration to only trigger below 50% hp

right now I just reverse engineered the regeneration entry in qol samples like the guy above me ironically

[shrewd cradle]

ok, so that worked, thanks a lot

[vast bane]

condition=@attributes.hp.value > @attributes.hp.max / 2 and add in the max thing too

[vagrant wharf]

add in the max thing too?

what would the entire thing look lik?

[vast bane]

see how it has 2 conditionals?

add everything after the && including them

so that it stops doing overtime when hes at full health

oh wait hang on, misread your ask

forget the second half, and reverse my symbol

reverse it to a <

[vast bane]

and if they regenerate at 0, you are fine, if they don't, then you will need to add in a && with the zero thing

[vagrant wharf]

the effect is set to cancel at special duration: 0 hp

I guess replace 0 with 1

just to be safe

so this should apply all the above as a permanent bonus (as long as the effect is active) and only trigger the regenerate below 50% hp

with a special duration to cancel the entire effect at 0 hp

[vast bane]

no that will disable the whole ae if the hp is above 50%

[mellow fossil]

Found the root of the problem. Imported character from an older version. Remaking them solved all issues with target parameters and stuff

[vast bane]

seperate them out if you don't want them shutoff at the hp threshold

[vagrant wharf]

thats one big disappointing oof

[vast bane]

thats the whole point of overtimes, they do that all the time to the other keys in the ae

[vagrant wharf]

that's not the way it appears reading it but i'll take your word, disappointing

that aside how come damage resistance doesn't work

[vast bane]

wait I don't think it will do that, cause you aren't saving

[vagrant wharf]

like regen aside that one just psits erorr messages at me

[vast bane]

it kills ae's if save is successful and yours isn't saving

[vagrant wharf]

and the MIDI flag ones don't work either

there's no convenient dropdown but I don't know what else would go there

literally just want to resist non magic physical

[spice kraken]

DR is not resistance. dr is. DR is damage reduction

Which needs an integer

[vagrant wharf]

what.

ok. what do I type in to make it resist the physical damage types (bludgeoning, piercing, slashing) that are not flagged as magical.

[spice kraken]

system.traits.dr.value | add | <pick on>

[vagrant wharf]

nope, doesn't specify non magic

already looked at that one

it appears to resist all bludgeoning etc

[scarlet gale]

There is another one that's similar that has non magical physical as an option

[vagrant wharf]

I hope so

[scarlet gale]

system.traits.dr.custom | Custom | Non-Magical Physical

[vagrant wharf]

yeah that just spits error messages and makes taking turns in combat break

that was the first one I tried

[scarlet gale]

Works for me, but I haven't updated my foundry to the new DND version

[vagrant wharf]

I had this originally

[scarlet gale]

What's the error?

[vagrant wharf]

I dont know since I just re-added it and its working for some reason?

[vagrant wharf]

you can see here I had exactly that

[scarlet gale]

Would need the JavaScript error from console to diagnose it

[scarlet gale]

Are you on the new DND version?

[vagrant wharf]

yes I updated everything a few hours ago

including MIDI

I typically try to update daily

[scarlet gale]

That may have accidentally been overlooked

Bad idea, the new version requires a lot of module updates

[vagrant wharf]

you can see though that this is literally the same screenshot as the first but with the DR on the bottom insetad of second to bottom

I mean I'm glad it suddenly started working but wish it had been doing that to start with

ok so if you turn it on below half health it breaks

if you turn it on above half health and then get injured, it doesn't regen

[vast bane]

version 2.1.2 eh?

I think your issue is probably that you updated to dnd5e 2.1.x, log the issue and he'll get a fix out when he can

[vagrant wharf]

I dont quite know what that means but I guess I'l lwait for another update and tell her to just manually regenerate for now

[vast bane]

he cant fix problems if people don't post them to his git

[rancid bloom]

Can someone direct me to where I can find the json manifest link for the last version of midi before the dnd5e system update? I can't update dnd5e because it breaks tidy5e sheet, but I autoupdated midi and now it just doesn't appear.

[manic tendon]

I'm using Active Token Auras, adding damage to attacks, and I've checked that it only does 1/turn, but it affects every attack; anyone know how I fix that? Or is it a bug?

[vast bane]

going silent mode for my game night but just had an epiphany about another module that breaks in midi so adding it to the copy paste warning:

Midi does not work with:

Ready Set Roll
Better Rolls for 5e
Roll Groups
Fast Rolling by Default
Fast Rolls or Quick Rolls
Dice Tooltips
Taragnor's Gm Paranoia
WIRE(Whistler's Item Rolls Extended)
Minimal Roll Enhancements
Retroactive Advantage/Disadvantage
Max Crit

Advanced Spell Effects module is just dead in v10 and often the culprit of things...

[sharp moat]

Hey all, I am having an issue where all my npc's are automatically rolling disadvantage on everything. Is there a setting I have to change or is this a bug?

[tidal stone]

SO have the DnD5e issues with midi been ironed out?

[near sequoia]

if I want to add a conditional advantage in DAE via a midi flag, how would I do it without overwriting any other sources of advantage? If I set a flags.midi-qol.advantage.something to ADD and an expression, will it still be able to get advantage from other sources? or not have advantage if this evaluates false?

[steel apex]

I've been re-directed here so here goes.

I'm using Arbron's Summoning and I'm trying to set up a sequencer effect via an on-use item macro to create an explosion at the site of the summon but I can't figure out how to capture the mouse click on the map that would give the co-ordinates or location that the token will be summoned to. Is there a quick and easy way to capture that so that I can add it into either of these two options in sequencer:

.atLocation("stored_name")
.atLocation({ x: 0, y: 0 })

[sudden crane]

You must use CUSTOM, and the expression must evaluate to true to give advantage, if you want it to always be active, you can put ‘1’ as value, as it will evaluate to true

[near sequoia]

Thanks, that's what I figured might happen. Can I do something like @checkIfItHasAdvantageAlready || myOtherExpression so that if it already has advantage, it won't get removed (not sure what that checkIfItHasAdvantageAlready expression could be though... it can't just check the same midi flag, since that would just check if that specific flag is set, right?)

[sudden crane]

If false, it will not remove advantage it will just not give it

[near sequoia]

if what is false?

[sudden crane]

If the expression evaluate to false, it will not give advantage but it will not remove it if the actor already has it from another place

[near sequoia]

oh, for the entire flag?

[sudden crane]

Yes, you only need to put an expression for when you want to give advantage

[near sequoia]

oh neat! I misunderstood what you initially said then

[scarlet gale]

At a minimum you can likely check the canvas for the spawned token by name and use it's coords

[scarlet gale]

Just checked the GitHub for it, you can use the arbron.summonToken hook.

It looks like it passes the item and token, so you can get the coords from that.

[neon pike]

With the new midi this is no longer working - any ideas?

args[0].hitTargets[0].actor.system.traits[type].value.indexOf is not a function

    return args[0].hitTargets[0].actor.system.traits[type].value.indexOf(trait) > -1;
}

 let hasImmunity = checkTrait('di', 'necrotic');
    if (hasImmunity) return;
    let hasResistance = checkTrait('dr', 'necrotic');

[scarlet gale]

That looks like something I wrote lol

The new DND version changed traits to a set

It needs to be adjusted for that

I haven't updated my macros for it yet since I haven't updated.

[neon pike]

It very well could be! I wrote a custom one for my use case but it's a fundamental part of my macro haha!

[neon pike]

Do you have any idea what the new syntax would be that I can try?

[scarlet gale]

Not at my PC, but I can guess

return this.hitTargets.first().actor.system.traits[type].has(trait);

Maybe

Need to see the data structure

@neon pike try that?

Otherwise when I'm home in a few hours I can figure it out

[neon pike]

Thanks will try in the AM!

[lost estuary]

Question, How do I accomplish the highlighted part of this statement in the Midi Info page:

I have a spell with an Item macro, and the macro fires both before the slot is selected and the spell is cast and again after the spell is cast. Hoping this is the solution

[coarse mesa]

Not quite sure what you're aiming for, but this is where you typically decide when the item macro gets called

On the details tab

If you have it in there, you don't also want it in the AE or it will fire more than once

[gilded yacht]

Yep, that one slipped through my testing. Fix in 10.0.26

[gilded yacht]

Fix in 10.0.26

[vast bane]

if the macro has absolutely nothing to do with midi, it should probably stay default of After Active Effects, you only set it differently if you know it can work with midi in the other parts of the workflow or if you need it to happen BEFORE the item rolls, inwhich case you do pre-itemroll. An example of a great preitem roll would be all the new tashas summons require an item to be in your inventory:

Summon beast:

if (args[0].macroPass === "preItemRoll") {
    if (!actor.items.getName("Gilded Acorn")) {
        ui.notifications.error("You have no Gilded Acorn")
        return false;
    }
}

[winter jacinth]

Quick Question, can i use MidiQol with DnD 2.0.3?

[violet meadow]

Yes. In v10.0.26 the issue of dnd5e versioning will be resolved afaik

Just wait a bit for it to hit the #package-releases

Or use a version before 10.0.24

[winter jacinth]

Ah thanks, will wait 🙂

[pine forum]

@vast bane just checking; with your prior recommendation of using simbul's, do you use simbuls-creature-aide in v9, or use a select others of their set?

[violet meadow]

I don't think that Simbuls was available in v9.
Dnd5e helpers were the predecessor

[vast bane]

yeah it was dnd5e helpers in v9, then it died and simbuls picked up most of its stuff

[vast bane]

10.0.25 and 26 are basically just dnd5e 2.1.2 fixes, 24 is essentially the same just doesn't work with 2.1.2

same with dae's nwer versions, 10.0.14 should be dae's 2.0.3 version. You get nothing waiting other than the ability to update your dnd5e, which honestly most of us aren't doing due to all the module breakages.

[winter jacinth]

Okay, i will get 10.0.14 and install it 👍

[violet meadow]

I am bored. I need a fun project 😄

[vast bane]

14 is in reference to DAE, 24 is midi's

don't install a really old midi, it gets more updates than dae apparently hehe

[winter jacinth]

👍
