MidiQOL

[dull sinew]

I understand

[vast bane]

the macro is essentially bonus damage on the first mwak, so....you could edit the hell out of this for your needs

bonus points if its for a barbarian

[dull sinew]

I'm party of a team who is creation a system based on 5e for League of Legends world. We have a couple of devs and I just don't understand anything they are doing (and it's just for the site) hahaha

The problem is that I want to automate the maximum I can, but I can't do a lot

[vast bane]

RIP two different IP's with wotc doing what its doing right now

[dull sinew]

Yeah...

I think we are f*** because of this

[weak quest]

is there a flag to "disgrant" advantage? trying to set up Shifting (Wildhunt). While shifted, you have advantage on Wisdom checks, and no creature within 30 feet of you can make an attack roll with advantage against you unless you’re incapacitated.

[spice kraken]

Can they have disadvantage on the attack?

[scarlet gale]

https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros/blob/main/Features/Race Features/Shifter/Shift - Wildhunt/Chris-WildhuntWorld.js

Wordscript. Set the person who shifted to have an active aura of 30 feet called Wildhunt Aura

[vast bane]

If you don't fast forward you can just put a hostile aura up with a message on all attacks saying as much for a simpler method

using advantage reminder

[white condor]

Hello! Does anyone know if there's a way for a player character to penetrate magic/cold resistance (bonus points if immunity is treated as resistance).

Maybe I'm blind but it looks like i cannot do it with MidiQOL. Any ideas are appreciated 🙏

[vast sierra]

@proper siren this option, in Midi settings

[proper siren]

yep found it earlier and that was it, everybody here is so helpful thanks again

[vast bane]

he specifically added the -acid resistance options for this, but I think you have to do it all in a macro when combining it with the same attack.

[hot flower]

if I wanted to apply healing to allies within 30 feet but only if they have less than half of their max HP, could I do that with an activation condition? Or would I need an item macro? And if the former, what would that activation condition be?

As a bonus action, you can bolster injured creatures with your Channel Divinity. Each creature of your choice that can hear you within 30 feet of you regains hit points equal to 1d6 + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) if it has no more than half of its hit points.

[vast bane]

you could probably steal the condition thing out of regeneration midi sample item and repurpose it in the activation condition

range/target on item would be set to all ally's within 30 feet, probably have to preroll item a macro to turn off wall restrictions

[covert mason]

Trying to make a homebrew item that grants a hit die when eaten. How would I achieve that with a macro?

[dark canopy]

the class item helds a "hit die spent/used" field

you would reduce that value by 1 via an item update on that class item

[vast bane]

I literally have this already

want my item macro lol?

[covert mason]

Sure 😂

[vast bane]

I have homebrew food recipes and one of them gives/restores a hit die

[covert mason]

Are you using Mastercrafted?

[vast bane]

nope, I'm using beavers stuff for motivation but not actually using the module, I have my own homebrew crafting that I feel is alot better

[covert mason]

Fair 'nuff

[vast bane]

const act=token.actor??game.user.character
for (let clas of act.classes){
  if(clas.data.data.hitDiceUsed!==0){
    clas.update({"data.hitDiceUsed":clas.data.data.hitDiceUsed-1})
    break;
  }else{
  continue
  }
}

Prolly needs some v10ification here

[covert mason]

Is it supposed to be class instead of clas?

[vast bane]

hmmm let me check, they haven't used this food yet

yep looks like a typo

getting an unexpected token error too after the fix

thinkin datas are an issue

what about the blue data in the above macro? System or yeet?

well shit, this macros dead in v10 I dunno how to fix it

ooooh, the actor has no game.user my bad

[dark canopy]

no, class is a keyword

[vast bane]

does the blue data need to be system or yeeted?

[dark canopy]

is hitDieUsed a system, or core foundry field?

[vast bane]

const act=token.actor??game.user.character
for (let clas of act.classes){
  if(clas.system.hitDiceUsed!==0){
    clas.update({"system.hitDiceUsed":clas.system.hitDiceUsed-1})
    break;
  }else{
  continue
  }
}

could it be the first lines lack of spaces around =?

[dark canopy]

log act

[vast bane]

console.log(act) gives me nothing in the console

Yellow warning is just a combatbooster shim for activating from it

[dark canopy]

nothing, or undefined? and did you put it after you defined act, but before you used it in the for loop?

[vast bane]

I put it after the FOR line

[dark canopy]

the script errors before that 🙂 put it right above

[vast bane]

um not sure what its doing here, if anything this is telling me that the first line is looking at the wrong thing, I need midi I guess

I get a bunch of stuff about the selected token instead of the targetted token

hmmm, actually, I think I'm moving this to an effect macro, then I can use it

Well now I can take it to #macro-polo muahahahaha:

[crisp quarry]

Found an Issue with Midi-QOL and LMRTFY. When you ask your player to roll a saving throw by casting a spell on them, they get a prompt that asks them the same thing twice and does not add their bonuses to the roll.

[vast bane]

are you using 2.1.3 or 2.1.4 of dnd5e atm?

[crisp quarry]

indeed

is it a kown issue?

[vast bane]

and are you using the newest midi, and are aware of its patch notes regarding LMRTFY

(or vice versa)

#package-releases message

[crisp quarry]

Compatibility change for lmrtfy 3.1.2 (which midi now requires - or later).
Yeah, I have LMRTFY 3.1.2 and Midi 10.0.27

[vast bane]

and you are definitely not using more than one roller?

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
Multiattack 5e

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

[crisp quarry]

I'm going to do Find the Culprit to only leave libraries and midi+lmrtfy

[violet meadow]

Someone else mentioned issues with LMRTFY after latest update

[vast bane]

k, looks like a valid issue/bug to me, report it on his git, you are leading the way for the rest of us

[crisp quarry]

yup, no change

I guess it's more of an LMRTFY issue than midi?

but it's hard to guess

[vast bane]

@covert mason

const act=token.actor??game.user.character
console.log(act)
for (let clas of Object.values(act.classes)){
  if(clas.system.hitDiceUsed!==0){
    clas.update({"system.hitDiceUsed":clas.system.hitDiceUsed-1})
    break;
  }else{
  continue
  }
}

put this on the item as an effect macro, probably works as an item macro too fyi, but my ability applies an ae anyway so I diverted so that it wouldn't have midi errors to get help in #macro-polo lol

[crisp quarry]

oh yea, it's an issue with Query Player option from the looks of it!

[vast bane]

nah this is totally midi imo

maybe theres a module setting that now needs to be tweaked in either one?

[crisp quarry]

Ok, did a simple LMRTFY with Query Player for a saving throw and it did the same thing, without midi on. It's a LMRTFY bug.

[crisp quarry]

Made an issue. https://github.com/League-of-Foundry-Developers/fvtt-module-lmrtfy/issues/172

[violet meadow]

@proven cliff so you use this one as a DamageBonusMacro <#macro-polo message>

[proven cliff]

So that allows the player to add more charges, how do I make it so if they don't want to use a charge. I spent 3 hours on this last night. I was thinking of just making a separate item for the charges and damage. .... on top of the player is a druid and adds Shillelagh too, its actually a cudgel of striking.

[violet meadow]

Do you want a dialog to ask the player if they wanna use the feature and how many charges maybe at the same time?

[proven cliff]

I think that is ideal. I was looking for how to provide the empty choice along with 1,2, and 3

[violet meadow]

got a bit sidetracked. Will write something up and ping you later 😉

[proven cliff]

amazing, thank you for the help!

[hard oxide]

Hi guys I have only MidiQOL and not any of those modules, and when I roll i don't see roll chart etc, any idea why ?

[vast bane]

you have require targets on and aren't targetting anything is my first guess

second guess would be the actor rolling has no token on the scene

[hard oxide]

It was exactly this thanks

The first one ty!!

[viscid lance]

Is there a way to tell where the damage bonuses are coming from? A character is rolling an extra +3 to hit and I don't know how to find out where it's coming from.

[pliant matrix]

hello, with midi I would like to set an effect that changes the range of the saving throw against death. how can I do?

[vast bane]

if you show us it we might be able to tell you

[vast bane]

modifiers do the same thing just look different, so just add a +X to mimic the same odds.

[pliant matrix]

sorry can you give me a screenshot as an example?😅

[vast bane]

lowering the dc is the same mathematically as raising the modifier, I assume theres a death save bonus in midi somewhere

[raven holly]

Tonight I had one of my player's damage not being included in the compact chat card, and didnt give me the damage application card, anyone have an idea why? It could just be that my player was rolling it a weird way, she does things strangely often...as the only remote player
Foundry v 10.291, DnD 2.0.3, Midi 10.0.24

The first two cards are the problem player, the last card is an NPC working correctly

[coarse mesa]

Max I never knew you dabbled in the dark side of automation. I’m just enjoying reading those cards 👍

[raven holly]

haha oh yea I've used midi since I started

but I would say I go with midlevel automation

[coarse mesa]

I do like the look of those pictorial inline links

[raven holly]

No FF rolls, Players dont see if it hits, never auto roll damage

[thorny solar]

Those extra tooltips are neat.. but could they be causing the issue?

[raven holly]

Those are from Inline Roll Commands, so great

no need to make a macro for using an item anymore

They are essentially a button to use an item, doesnt affect the current roll

[thorny solar]

Fair enough. No idea then.

Remote player though?

[raven holly]

heres one working right with those same links

[thorny solar]

Okay.

[raven holly]

Yup, they are the only remote player

[coarse mesa]

I wonder if she’s rolling damage off the character sheet?

You know, the little links midi puts in the description?

[thorny solar]

Thats possible

[coarse mesa]

DDB style

[raven holly]

These guys?

[coarse mesa]

I’m not sure if that would make a difference?

[thorny solar]

Probably yes.

[pliant matrix]

how did you create the interaction with maneuver and divine smite?

[raven holly]

Nah, doesnt look like it 😕

[spice kraken]

Are you rolling that by being logged in on her user?

[raven holly]

...no

[spice kraken]

Try that

[raven holly]

that would be smart

[coarse mesa]

Something seems to be stopping the workflow maybe

[thorny solar]

I may have to ask how you did those inline links with the module later, but first, lets see if we can sort this out.

[raven holly]

yup, logged in as them still working fine 🤷‍♂️

Inline Roll Commands 😉

[coarse mesa]

You may need to interrogate her further. I’m smelling PEBCAK

[thorny solar]

Eh?

[raven holly]

yup I believe it

[thorny solar]

My question is, in the item itself, is there an attack and damage button in the description?

[coarse mesa]

Max just tried that

[thorny solar]

Ah, fair enough

[raven holly]

Inline Roll Commands is a module from Kaelad, absolute gold
you can do [[/rollItem Slasher: Critical Hit]] to get a button to roll an owned item with that name as seen above, or [[/rollSave cha]] to get a button to roll a CHA save, [[/rollSkill ath]] for a button for an Athletics check, etc

[thorny solar]

I'm looking at it actually, and it looks neat, not sure how my games will use it since the description is usually collapsed but this is great.

[raven holly]

This 👆
The maneuver is just another feature to roll, Divine Smite is a Spell item

Stop it Zhell

[vast bane]

as for the auotmation not firing, I see this every so often, last session one of my players somehow loaded the server without midi enabled, they had to refresh/reconnect

[raven holly]

hmm odd, ok

[vast bane]

I've also had a world script that broke it, and also a bad wildshape macro that did it once

I use the fallback buttons with merge cards so that if damage ever fails you can use those buttons to apply to selected

he fixed it so they have a temp heal now too

cause you can't right click and apply damage with merge cards

[vast bane]

I'm curious about inline roll commands, can you do those in chat macros too?

[raven holly]

I'm sure you can.

You can use it in Advantage Reminder too, just set up Sanctuary to grant an AR message to prompt for the save in the attack roll

Is this what you were asking?

[violet meadow]

Fell asleep 😅
But I haven’t forgotten!

[robust vault]

Does anyone know if there is a bug with midi and flags.midi-qol.disadvantage.skill.ste?

I've been setting up a DAE effect, to give DA to stealth, but it doesn't seem to work. With the rest of the skills it does.

Foundry v10.291
System5e 2.0.3
Midi 10.0.24
I have other modules activated, but I don't think there should be any interaction with this.
I haven't updated midi to 10.0.27 because I don't know if being in dnd5e 2.0.3 there is some kind of conflict or the midi doesn't work properly.
I have been setting up a trap (npc actor) with an attack that transfers DA stealth, using a tile and the monk active tile trigger.

[violet meadow]

Seems to be working fine for me. MidiQOL 10.0.27 though and 2.1.4 dnd5e.
That said, I don't remember that one not working before

What does the DAE look like on the actor when it's applied?

[robust vault]

omg i miss set 1 on the stealth

works perfectly, it was my fault for not configuring stealth correctly.

[violet meadow]

Better use Custom for the flags.midi-qol.xxx in general (except for the ones the MidiQOL readme advises otherwise, like optional bonus flags)

[next basalt]

I've got a particularly ugly Giff boss coming up. What's the best way to configure a ranged weapon attack that includes a saving throw for a condition? ie: Ranged weapon attack with a 10ft radius, full damage on a hit, half-damage on a miss, and eitherway you have to make a save to avoid being deafened. I'll use a CE to apply the condition, just unsure how to configure the conditions under the attack configuration.

[vast bane]

You'd have to go the route of something like the premade ice knife peopole got from mr primate

if its indeed an attack roll and damage to nearby targets

If you just wanted to make it work, macros be damned, you could make it two items

first being the attack roll on the primary target, and the second being a template save for damage and condition application

You could probably also put an on use macro to fire the second one after the first

[next basalt]

Forgot about Ice Knife, thanks!

[violet meadow]

Why do you need a macro for that?

I don't think what you said reads as a secondary effect for 10ft around.

The weapon just needs to place a circular template with a radius of 10ft

[vast bane]

Ranged Weapon Attack kinda reads to me like ice knife

[violet meadow]

The damage will be full on hit and half on save, and if one doesn't save, apply Deafened condition 🤷

[vast bane]

Giffs are gun specialists so their ammunition can be explosive

[dark canopy]

however, there are no "weapon attacks" that ever target more than 1 creature, and especially not an AOE.

So, sure its using a weapon, but its an AoE save like any other

[vast bane]

is it indeed an ice knife concept? cause the base Giff uses a hand grenade attack as well as their gun

I can attest that the checkboxes at the bottom can cause an ice knife to half all damage as I've accidentally set mine up that way a while back lol

[next basalt]

I believe so,

and I made some...tweaks to the Giff Shocktroopers. They're essentially going up again Bebop and Rocksteady

[dark canopy]

iiwm, i'd model it as a normal AOE -- making an attack roll to hit a creature with a grenade launcher seems...excessive 😅

[next basalt]

😮 you do have a point there.

[dark canopy]

im just a simple badger that likes simple implementations, hehe

[dark canopy]

now, if you wanted to shoot a creature with it as like...an alternate firing mode or something. Making an attack roll as normal, applying the damage to only that creature that forces a save for knockback and/or prone would be kinda cewl

[next basalt]

Is there any easy way to do a knockback these days? Hated losing the functionality of Ripper's script, that was so cool.

[dark canopy]

if you are OK with designating the knockback location, it would be a very simple warpgate crosshairs+mutate operation

autocalculating the pushback is definitely possible, but an order of magnitude more complex

[violet meadow]

There is a knockback script around for sure. Search for it and if you don't find it, I will take a look when I am back at my PC

[next basalt]

I've got a couple of them, but none work. Probably all variants of Rippers 😦

[vast bane]

on a nat 1 save, take bonus damage...they get hit by the projectile lol

[dark canopy]

nods heh, yea, I love that

[vast bane]

bugbears shove/shieldmaster macro is a great push or prone item

[dark canopy]

tons of flavor, tiny impact to gameplay

[violet meadow]

So as is right now, after you hit with the Item, you can add charges to damage the target more, correct?

[proven cliff]

Yes, but by default because it has 10 charges every time it's used it will use one charge. The goal is for it to be used as an attack then ask how many if any charges to use up to a max of three.

[violet meadow]

The macro is exactly that though. It should ask for how many (up to 3) charges you want to expend and then damage accordingly 🤔

Can you export the Item and DM it to me? Just to take a look on how you've set it up?

[proven cliff]

I'll try but it will be later when I'm home. In person game tonight.

[dull sinew]

Soooooooooooo...

I'm trying to automate an effect kinda... strange. This is the effect:

On the start of a combat, you can use this rune to gain +1 bonus on your attack rolls. Each time after 3 rounds, this bonus increase +1, until the end of the combat, at the maximum of your Intelligence modificator.```

I wrote `+[[min(@abilities.int.mod, max(1, floor(##stackCount / 3)))]][Gathering Storm]` but it doesn't work for one simple reason: /3 it's not the right divisor and I am too dumb to know how I can make this work.

Can some of you guys help me?

[chrome gale]

When applying/removing an effect, is there a way to make it so it doesn't display the floating text?

[vast bane]

I'd just make it a stackable ae and if you ever go 15 rounds I will be impressed

[dull sinew]

It's what I did, but something it's not working

[vast bane]

no its not what you did, you are worrying about the stack count

don't bother 15 round encounters are as rare as winning the lottery

just make it a simple stackable ae

[dull sinew]

Ohhhhhhhhh

Right

The player will apply the stack only when the bonus increase, right?

[vast bane]

yeah I'd probably use an effect macro cause it can listen to triggers better

at round start, add another stack or something

[dull sinew]

Hummmmmmm

Thanks!

Man, I just understand your picture and your name hahahaha

[chrome gale]

If you wanted to slow the stacks down, you could probably add in some logic so the macro only adds a new stack on certain rounds. Or only on even numbers. I'm pretty sure the 'round number' is an exposed flag

but giving a +1 for each round probably isn't too crazy, very few combats last more than a couple of rounds

[violet meadow]

game.combat.round

get the startRound and math is out 😄

[scarlet gale]

Check if the round is dividable by 3 without a remainder and if so update the effect bonus

[vast bane]

Name so nice, you say it twice

[violet meadow]

Ah yeah I re-read it, it seems that can only be applied on 1st combat round, so even easier!

[vast bane]

I imagine effect macro can modify itself so no need to even do stacking

[violet meadow]

if (game.combat.round % 3 === 0) //update effect

[dull sinew]

The problem is: the first increase come only in the start of the round 4, so divide by 3 doesn't really work

[scarlet gale]

Check if the round is at or above 4 first

Can even add an int max check too

[violet meadow]

1 - 4 - 7?

[dull sinew]

yes

[violet meadow]

then if (game.combat.round % 3 === 1)

[scarlet gale]

Is the first round in foundry 0 or 1?

[violet meadow]

oh 🤔

[dull sinew]

in teory, with the int mod goes only a +5, would be round 1 - 4 - 7 - 10 - 13

[vast bane]

my turn start buton says the first turn is 0 fwiw

[violet meadow]

Yeah its 1

Turn starts from 0, Round starts from 1

[dull sinew]

What?

oh ok

[vast bane]

yeah thats just weird, so rounds are 1+ but turns decide to call the first guy 0

[dull sinew]

How can I use the game.combat.round in a AE?

@? ##?

[vast bane]

Effect Macro Module

[dull sinew]

Or just write the thing there?

[dull sinew]

???

[vast bane]

I assume they were talking about an Effect macro, its a module thats used alot here for premades and has a ton of yummy hooks for the active effect its on

[dull sinew]

Ahhhhhhh

[vast bane]

or you could do an overtime effect, but then it'd trigger on turn starts, similar.

[dull sinew]

I think I found a solution! I think it's just add +2 on the counter of the stacks.
In theory, would be this: +[[min(@abilities.int.mod, max(1, floor((##stackCount + 2) / 3)))]][Gathering Storm]

[vast bane]

oh no not gonna work for overtime

I don't think ae's update like that though

it'd apply once and then be done

you'd need a way of updating it at 4 and 7

[dull sinew]

if I change de stacks, they will update

I think...

I'll test

[vast bane]

I think we all were trying to come up with a way of automating the stacks, what is yours?

[dull sinew]

Doesn't work 😫

[vast bane]

I feel like theres a fundamental misunderstanding here what you are trying to do and what we are trying to do for you

if you apply an ae to a token, unless you reapply it, I'm pretty sure the value stays an integer once its an effect on an actor

you need a way of updating it or reapplying it when those critical moments happen

[dull sinew]

In fact, works!

[scarlet gale]

Almost got a macro for you

if you care for it

[tulip hound]

Latest 5E, MidiQoL, DF CE, cannot get flanking to work... I try all combinations.

[scarlet gale]

Is it +1 on the first round or the 4th round?

[tulip hound]

is there a known issue atm?

[dull sinew]

But, I don't understand why, if I put a [[]] on the formula, the result you always be 1

[vast bane]

flanking requires the DM to be very exact with token dispositions and its very picky with what some people would rule as flanking

[dull sinew]

+1 on the first, than the round 4 - 7 - 10 and 13

But, I already make it function

I just don't understand why it doesn't work if I put [[]] on the formula

[tulip hound]

I am testing with this setup, super basic

[vast bane]

that is because the effect on the actor is an integer, dae is letting you put equations in, but once it applies its a number

[dull sinew]

Like this works: +min(@abilities.int.mod, max(1, floor((##stackCount + 2) / 3)))[Gathering Storm]
Like this don't: +[[min(@abilities.int.mod, max(1, floor((##stackCount + 2) / 3)))]][Gathering Storm]

[vast bane]

what color are the tokens flanking when you hold down alt, and are they in combat?

[violet meadow]

Select an attacker. Target the target.
Does it apply the Flanked Condition?

This is my go-to and works

[vast bane]

flanked/flanking only apply in the moment of targetting, I think in combat?

[tulip hound]

No.

[vast bane]

what color are the dispositions of all three of those tokens when you have NONE selected?

[violet meadow]

Nope in and out of combat

[vast bane]

I see a white ghost token and I think yellow

[scarlet gale]

If you want one that doesn't requires tons of effect stacks:
Effect Macro - On Combat Turn Starting:

if ((game.combat.round - 1) % 3 != 0) return;
let bonus = (game.combat.round - 1) / 3 + 1;
if (bonus > actor.system.abilities.int.mod) return;
await effect.update({
    'changes': [{
        'key': 'system.bonuses.All-Attacks',
        'mode': 2,
        'priority': 20,
        'value': '+' + bonus
    }]
});

Effect Macro - On Combat Ending:

await effect.update({
    'changes': [{
        'key': 'system.bonuses.All-Attacks',
        'mode': 2,
        'priority': 20,
        'value': '+0'
    }]
});```

[violet meadow]

As Moto says, check dispositions

[vast bane]

also player tokens can seem green but have hostile in the token settings sometimes

[tulip hound]

Thank you, the enemy was Neutral

That was the issue

Thanks a lot.

[vast bane]

I find warpgate summons are usually the bane of my flanking automation for some reason

[dull sinew]

But the number is wrong! That's the thing. It would suppose to return me only the number, but without the [[]], it show the formula and return the right bonus, but with [[]], it always return 1. It doesn't make sense

[violet meadow]

Min of int.mod and 1

You freeze it in time with the [[]]

[dull sinew]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Damn =/

[vast bane]

thats what I was trying to say, you have to use a macro like chris made to better solve this

really no point in doing the equation there is it?

[dull sinew]

I understand

[dull sinew]

Thanks! I'll use that 😄

[scarlet gale]

If your effect does more than just that you'll need to tweak it a little bit

[vast bane]

its slightly off in that the update will hapen on turn though, but thats nbd

[scarlet gale]

Since it totally wipes out the changes to for it's own update. If it needs to keep other changes from the same effect it would need a minor tweak

[dull sinew]

It's just that

[scarlet gale]

Then it should work-as is

the bonus won't apply until their actual turn, but it's unlikely to be a noticeable issue

[vast bane]

do you have a check for combat end to clear it? oor actually have a special duration to clear it on combat end

[scarlet gale]

The 2nd macro I posted reverts it to a bonus of 0 on combat ending

[dull sinew]

perfect!

It's possible to use the game.combat.round on an AE? I think I can use this with one of my other effects.

[scarlet gale]

Depends if it the field is evaluated or not.

[dull sinew]

Let's say I want to add a +1 on my Max HP for each round that pass on the combat

Or just want to add the number of the round on something

Would be @game.combat.round?

[scarlet gale]

Worth checking to see if it works

[vast bane]

never update hp in an ae unless its overtime or an effect macro

[scarlet gale]

well

temp max hp is safe

updating the hp value is bad

[viscid lance]

I have a belt item that grants advantage on Athletics and Acrobatics checks. Can DAE automate this?

[scarlet gale]

Should just be midi flags

[vast bane]

midi would automate it

[scarlet gale]

Have it give a passive effect that gives the actor the relevant midi flag for advantage on those checks.

[vast bane]

Don't edit the item on the actor, one of the few wonky behaviors left in dae is when you mess with equippable/attuneables

edit it in the sidebar then move it over

[viscid lance]

Found the midi flag, thanks guys!

[scarlet gale]

??? I've never had issues editing on the character.

[vast bane]

sometimes it will untether the unavailable ae and create a new one

[scarlet gale]

I haven't noticed that, but it's easy enough to fix if it happens

[viscid lance]

Do I set the piority to custom or override?

[vast bane]

custom and 1

almost always custom and consult the readme when custom doesn't seem to do it, it will then say otherwise there

[viscid lance]

Gotcha.

[dull sinew]

What's the difference between ## and @ on the start of the, for example, @abilities.cha.mod and ##stackCount?

[violet meadow]

## will be transferred to the target as is and evaluated using the target's rollData

@ will always be evaluated using the source's rollData

[dark canopy]

find the setting that isn't correct on the source actor or not defined on the source actor's token or whatever, and add to the spawn updates

i cant think of anything special that would be going on unless something else is coming in mid-stream?

[violet meadow]

@viscid lance get from the MidiQOL Sample Items compendium the Divine Smite - no macro - 10.0.10.

Create on that one an onUse macro ItemMacro | Called before the item is rolled

In the ItemMacro paste this: ```js
foundry.utils.setProperty(this.rollOptions,'fastForwardDamage',false) //this will force your fastForward setting for Damage Rolls to off, when using the specific Item.

[viscid lance]

Awesome I'll do that!

That did what I was wanting it to. Thanks

[brazen venture]

how does one apply passive fire/burning damage for spells or weapons?

[vast bane]

midi overtime active effect, if in v10, can use actionSave in it for them to use action to put themselves out

are you sure you want to buff firebal that much though?

[brazen venture]

I mean

I am doing a homebrew and these knuckleheads decided they wanted to challenge a 500 hp boss

[vast bane]

piles of hp don't increase the challenge, instead increase the action economy

sorry misread that phrase

[brazen venture]

Yeah, I just thought that fire slash that doesn't do fire damage was dum

So now I'm here :)

And hopefully learn how to apply other effects

[violet meadow]

https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/tree/v10#flagsmidi-qolovertime-overtime-effects
With this you can create an effect that deals damage over time

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

will do 1d4 of fire damage at the start of the actor's turn

And with that I bid you all a good night 👋

[brazen venture]

Ooh

[vast bane]

you can add actionSave=true to get a prompt to use action to get fire off

[brazen venture]

I see, I'll test it rq

[vast bane]

capital letters matter in the syntax

so do the commas

[brazen venture]

so

flags.midi-qol.OverTime | OVERRIDE | turn=start,label=Pants on Fire,damageRoll=1d4,damageType=fire,actionSave=true
?

and how long does this last, other than using the option to turn it off?

[violet meadow]

Times UP module will help with turning off effects based on duration in combat

[brazen venture]

Kk

is it like this?

[violet meadow]

nope. Attribute key is the 1st part of what I shared up to the | omitting the |.
Change Mode Override
Effect value the rest without any |

[brazen venture]

ah okok

[brazen venture]

this?

[brazen venture]

OH

ok I done it

anythiong else I need to enable before it works?

[violet meadow]

Be in combat

[brazen venture]

aight

this?

[violet meadow]

Your effect seems to be on an item and you are attacking a target?

Yes click apply Active effect to transfer it to the target

[brazen venture]

yes

ahhh

I see

nice!

tysm!

[fathom socket]

testing dnd 2.1.2 with midi 10.0.27 atm.
I just roll an attack from the sheet and get this error.
Seems like there is some issue with libwrapper

[violet meadow]

Some things changed in the latest version for pressed Keys management.
I would log it in MidiQOL git issues.

*I do not see the same issue tbh but with settings and modules noone can be sure except for tposney 😉 *

[gilded yacht]

Yes there is a change in 2.1.3 that means DAE is not setting scale values. Fixed in 10.0.18

Correct

[errant gull]

Ever since the most recent version of DnD5e, I'm getting a weird bug out of MidiQOL/Let Me Roll That For You, where whenever you are prompted for a Saving Throw, the LMRTFY window pops up, you click to roll, and then TWO identical roll windows pop up. One does nothing, doesn't roll dice, just pops up. The other identical window rolls the dice though.

Is this a bug or do I have a setting configured wrong? I haven't touched the module settings since the updates of the last couple weeks.

[rancid tide]

Am I the only one that is getting this error with the recent update (5e 2.1.4, midi 10.0.27, tagger 1.4.1)

[crisp quarry]

You found the issue I reported, so I guess all is clear now 👍

[rancid tide]

Everything works as it should but I get this error

[violet meadow]

nope it is reproducible after latest Tagger update. Not sure if its MidiQOL related

[rancid tide]

Sorry I don't understand

Yes I believe at this point that is Tagger related, but idk if it's my fault or there's something wrong with the module

[violet meadow]

Tagger module got an update today.

It can be reproduced with only Tagger active

[rancid tide]

Mhm so it's not a fault of mine this error?

[violet meadow]

I guess not

[rancid tide]

I guess I'll report it to the github page then

[violet meadow]

Make a post in #modules pinging the dev or as you said in the github (even better) 😉

[rancid tide]

okay ty

[wheat marten]

Question, is it possible to have concentration automated without it preventing spells being cast with midi? Trying to recast sunbeam (because I don't have an item creating macro thingy), and it won't let me without restarting the concentration timer ^_^

[rancid tide]

Who is the dev so I can tag them?

[dark canopy]

a github issue is by far the best way to communicate this issue

[rancid tide]

okay i'll do that then

[violet meadow]

(Wasp)

[rancid tide]

ty

[wheat marten]

I should rephrase, is there any way to recast concentration spells without it overriding the existing concentration in Midi?

[violet meadow]

If you want to "recast" it when its "active", you need to Hook in the preItemRoll and "change" the actual workflow.item to not be a concentration one

[wheat marten]

I am super confused 😅 How would I go about that?

[violet meadow]

Cleanest solution? Make the spell create an Item called Sunbeam attack which will be used to do the damage part.

Otherwise you'll need to mess with Hooks or ephemeral Items or updates to the initial Item which will be reverted when the effect is deleted.

[molten solar]

That is NOT the cleanest solution! 😭

[violet meadow]

You go VAE elsewhere 😄

[rancid tide]

done

[wheat marten]

Appreciated, will try that!

[wheat marten]

What would be your suggestion? ^_^

[molten solar]

Redisplay the item

Or lol bonk Midi for refreshing the conc duration, that's silly

[wheat marten]

Redisplay as in showing it in chat?

[molten solar]

Or whichever, yeah

[wheat marten]

Hm, maybe! Will try both 🙂 Appreciate the help!

[last loom]

I asked in #macro-polo chanel a question about macro effects, but It has something of midi-qol elements,, and I need some help with this if someone can help me https://www.reddit.com/r/FoundryVTT/comments/10mlqa0/automating_form_of_dread_using_macro_effects/

[violet meadow]

@gilded yacht Could there be a slight change on the timing of the check for whether an Item is a Concentration one, or not?

So that a macro triggered Before Item is rolled could change the workflow.item.system.components.concentration to false and make it easier for Items like Sunbeam to have a macro changing the way they behave after their initial roll?

PS: Still not sure about how helpful that would be in the long run, but it sounds useful at least 😅

[dull sinew]

Hey guys, any of you know how the problem with the duplicate effects and the thing with the image would be correct?

And @violet meadow, the problem with the rolls with Optional Bonuses are solved with the last update. Thanks!

[violet meadow]

Update DAE if you are not on 10.0.18

[dull sinew]

Ohhhhhh

Good

Ok

[wheat marten]

To add to that, maybe an option to just ignore overriding the concentration and still be able to cast? If that is even possible code wise knows nothing about code

[violet meadow]

oh oh oh hmm, was there an override for concentration already 🤔 ?

[wheat marten]

Aye, it pops up a "you are already concentrating on Sunbeam, do you want to end it?" If you click no, you can't cast the spell, if yes, overrides concentration

[violet meadow]

No I mean a behind the scenes flag or something when you wanted to achieve that exact thing we are talking about

I vaguely remember something, but I cannot check now

[wheat marten]

If it requires making a macro or something, I wouldn't know I'm afraid! Will try to see if I can find anything

[dull sinew]

Thanks! It works!

[lime walrus]

I want to make a macro that applies tempHP to an actor based on rolling an ability. I know about the applyTempHP function but how would I go about making the tempHP self-apply to the rolling actor regardless of target or token selection? I have this macro as a base and I wanted to invoke the complete macro as an item macro

const newValue = 20
const tok = canvas.tokens.controlled[0];
tok?.actor.update({"data.attributes.hp.temp": Math.max(tok.actor.getRollData().attributes.hp.temp, newValue)});

[violet meadow]

If you want to use it as an ItemMacro just use args[0].actor

[lime walrus]

I tried but for some reason it wasn't pushing the update to the actor

[violet meadow]

Do you click on the Item Macro or use it via MidiQOL macro execution methods?

[lime walrus]

so redeclare tok as args[0].actor?

I had it tied to Midi's On Use Macros

[violet meadow]

This is for MidiQOL item onUse macro execution ```js
const newValue = 20
await args[0].actor.applyTempHP(newValue)

[lime walrus]

neat

that's so simple

thanks!

[violet meadow]

I suppose this is to be used by a player right?

Are you on v9 or v10 of Foundry?

[lime walrus]

one more question since I've recently switched back to Midi as my main dice rolling module, is there a way to restore the context menu options for rolls that let you apply the damage/healing rolls? I know there are damage buttons but I don't like how they obstruct the entire damage roll and the fade out time on their visibility after hovering away is too long

I'm using the chat card merge feature, that might be important

[last loom]

v10. It is an effect that will be in a token and that gives these benefits. What I am trying to do is that when it attacks a target, the midi-qol saving throw request is activated and receive the result to save it in a variable.

[violet meadow]

Yeah. You could use the Monks TokenBar API to request the roll and get the result to apply the effect or not.

I would go at it a bit differently though.
I would make the item create an Actor onUse macro when it's used, which would have all the logic of the special attack once per round etc.
If you want copy paste the macros you've in the reddit post here for easier access.
I can take a look at some point later.

[toxic spruce]

Strange thing, might be a mod, but thought I would ask if anyone has seen this.
I press the HOME button for Disadvantage, and nothing happened until I release the home button, then it rolls normal. lol

Does backing up the work flow - back up the sounds?

[vast bane]

is that some sort of custom keybind? Its an abnormal key, possibly the release does the toggle

[last loom]

This macro works for me, which is to give me temporary life at the moment of assigning the action effect

var actor = token.actor;
if (!actor) {
    ui.notifications.warn('Necesitas seleccionar un token para asignar la forma de pavor.');
} else {
    let tempHPRoll = await new Roll(`1d10+${actor.data.data.details.level}`).roll();
    game.dice3d.showForRoll(tempHPRoll);
        await tempHPRoll.toMessage({
          flavor: "Puntos de vida adicional por forma de pavor",
        });
    let newTempHP = tempHPRoll.total;
    
    await actor.update({"data.attributes.hp.temp" : newTempHP, "data.attributes.hp.tempmax" : null});
}

and this works for me but fear is applied whenever damage is dealt. But I want to make the frightened only apply when the target's wisdom saving throw (whose monks request appears if hit) fails

var uids = [];
game.user.targets.forEach(t => {
if(t.actor) uids.push(t.actor.uuid)
})

uids.map(uuid => {

if(uuid != '' && !game.dfreds.effectInterface.hasEffectApplied('Frightened', uuid))
game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({ effectName: 'Frightened', uuid });

})

It took me a while to answer because I had to leave the house

[hot flower]

anyone have ANY idea how to automate this? ```You are expert at slinking through shadows. You gain the following benefits:

You can try to hide when you are lightly obscured from the creature from which you are hiding.

When you are hidden from a creature and miss it with a ranged weapon attack, making the attack doesn't reveal your position.

Dim light doesn't impose disadvantage on your Wisdom (Perception) checks relying on sight.```

[dark canopy]

what portions of those mechanics are currently automated that you need to integrate with, vs what mechanics are purely custom to this ability?

[hot flower]

i'd say the only important one to automate would be the not revealing of the hiding, which is related to Midi

[dark canopy]

ok, so, naive guess, you will intercept midi near the end of the roll and modify whatever workflow parameter controls revealing a hidden token after an attack

[vast bane]

aren't those alt/ctrl bydefault?

[weak quest]

any way to disable the disadvantage/advantage buttons?

[vast bane]

yes, its in monks tokenbar settings

[toxic spruce]

yes, I changed it cause those were not working either, so I picked something without conflict

[vast bane]

there was a version of midi that had issues with the keys

[viscid lance]

How would I complete this so that it adds the wisdom modifier?

[vast bane]

this is technically a dnd5e question but we don't use brooms here:

[e-mail]

[viscid lance]

Thanks and apologies for the wrong room. I'll do better 🙂

[vast bane]

nah you can ask anything here

I was just noting that its a system key, not sure if dae is needed for the attribute nowadays

if anything dae's needed so that it dynamically changes when their wis mod does maybe

[spice kraken]

🧹 🧹 🧹 🧹 🧹 🧹 🧹

[vast bane]

thats alot of brooms of flying

[spice kraken]

Also, nothing to apologies for. People get re-routed a lot and it's a big discord

[viscid lance]

Thanks guys. Everyone is so nice here.

[urban seal]

Hey, do you still ahve those bloodhunter automations? 😅

[robust vault]

is there any midi flag or dae command to give DA on turn undead saving throws? i'm trying to make the corpse slayer item 5e

[vagrant wharf]

is there a way to configure Blur? I used to use advanced spell effects but thats not an option anymore

[spice kraken]

Well for the non-sight related parts, you can use the grants disadvantage flag

And target self of course

[robust vault]

use DAE effect and token magic fx

[vagrant wharf]

yeah I'm brain dead

I meant mirror images

sorry

[spice kraken]

No worries

Custom macro for sure

[vagrant wharf]

does one exist?

or some workaround?

I know that there's some shenanigans you can use to make armor of hexes work since its effectively a 50% miss chance

[spice kraken]

This might work
https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros/tree/main/Spells/Mirror Image

[vagrant wharf]

hmm don't see mirror

you just manually type it in then?

even if it doesn't auto bring up the drop down?

[spice kraken]

Did you do these 2?

[vagrant wharf]

no

[spice kraken]

Well, start with that, haha

[last loom]

does anyone have any idea how to do this? It is enough for me to know if there is a way to make the midi-qol api make the saving throw to the target and return the result to save it in a variable

[scarlet gale]

All on my GitHub. I need to probably document some of it. Not on my PC at the moment.

[urban seal]

What is your github!

[scarlet gale]

https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros/tree/main/Features/Class Features/Blood Hunter

[urban seal]

Thank you 🥰

I appreciate it!

[scarlet gale]

Feel free to ask how something is setup, I'll get back to you when I'm home.

[vagrant wharf]

there is no macro

[coarse mesa]

Any easy way to kill an existing Light cantrip if the caster casts it again? 🤔

[vagrant wharf]

so there's just a blank thing on the hotbar saying mirorr images rip

[vagrant wharf]

oh

[vagrant wharf]

fyi I tried to make a blood hunter bloodlust/regeneration macro and it kept breaking

[scarlet gale]

I have one for that I need to post it I think

The bloodlust one is there, but not the regeneration one

[urban seal]

Yeah I tried but I have no idea how to get it going 😅

[scarlet gale]

What feature specifically?

[urban seal]

Crimson Rite!

[scarlet gale]

Item macro, requires effect macros and warpgate

Also assumes you have the scale values setup for blood hunter

If you use the ddb importer that's already set for you

[vagrant wharf]

I tried to bake it into one big transformation thing, but activating it at sub 50% hp broke everything

[scarlet gale]

I can screenshot mine when I'm home

[vagrant wharf]

didn't appear to work

[scarlet gale]

Reload the page after adding a world script

[vagrant wharf]

I did

there's no indication its hitting a mirror image or not

a nat 20 broke thorugh but I don't think thats supposed to happen

[scarlet gale]

Make sure you don't have CE overwriting the effect

Screenshot your mirror image dae tabs

On the spell

[scarlet gale]

Check your mirror image item and check don't apply ce

Should be in the midi area at the bottom

[vagrant wharf]

ok yeah that worked

thanks

but yeah the regeneration passive in the transform doesn't work

[coarse mesa]

I’m actually thinking it could be a job for Effect Macro… but how to check if the effect already exists on another token and kill that?

(from the same user)

[scarlet gale]

I'll get back to you on that when I'm home

[vast bane]

self ae that doesnt stack?

tposney does it somehow with spiritual weapon

[coarse mesa]

It has a target tho

Potentially different targets on different castings

[vast bane]

in v10 you can self roll a serpate ae on self too

so have the spell fail if it cant apply the self, or just have an activation condition that checks if the caster has it already

and warns them so they can choose

[coarse mesa]

I’d prefer the earlier casting to end and the new one to go through unhindered

[urban seal]

Hey @scarlet gale I got it working! Its awesome work you've done. Quick question though! My bloodhunter has both Rite of the Dawn & Rite of the Storm, currently it automatically picks Rite of the Storm. Is there any way to let them choose between the two?

[vast bane]

I'd lean towards mimicking the way concentration works just cause of UX/muscle memory for players

even though its not concentration

[scarlet gale]

I must have mistyped the name of the feature

Let me double check the macro

[urban seal]

Aaah I see, its not in the macro.

[scarlet gale]

Looks like I didn't include it

[coarse mesa]

Yeah I don’t really want to cut him that slack tho, he’s been annoying us for a few weeks… I kinda want to spring it on him

[scarlet gale]

Easy fix

[urban seal]

Alright, yes. I can just copy paste one of the other rites, rename it and change the damage and it should work?

Ill try it.

[scarlet gale]

Yep

[toxic spruce]

Does anyone know of a way to automate Reckless Attack?

[scarlet gale]

Copy line 32

Edit as needed

[urban seal]

How would you add the resistance to necrotic damage while the rite is active?

[scarlet gale]

Add it to the DAE effect

[spice kraken]

Gimme 5. It's easy. Do you have Times Up though?

[scarlet gale]

Would require a small macro edit

Is that a homebrew rite?

[vagrant wharf]

how do these.. work?

like I'm guessing I paste them into a macro somewhere

[toxic spruce]

Yes I do, you serious? "easy" rofl

[scarlet gale]

My documentation has been lacking, it depends on the feature

Feel free to ask

[urban seal]

No, it comes with the Ghostslayer subclass.

[scarlet gale]

Ah

[scarlet gale]

Home in half an hour, I'll look into adding support for that rite

[toxic spruce]

TYTYTY

[urban seal]

Thank you so much!

[coarse mesa]

I think I have a path forward with a little ItemMacro. Does anyone know of a pre-made that pops a color picker? May as well go all the way with a proper Light implementation

[toxic spruce]

Does backing up the work flow - back up the sounds?

[mighty pier]

I don't quite understand how the legendary resistance from the MidiQoL library works.. I copy it to the boss from the library, it has an effect, and when the boss rolls the save die, it ALWAYS changes the saveroll to 99, without spending charges.

[vagrant wharf]

https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros/blob/main/Features/Class Features/Blood Hunter/Brand of Castigation/Chris-BrandOfCastigation.js is this supposed to target the actual target or the player

[scarlet gale]

This is a flags.midi-qol.onUseMacroName macro.

Let me screenshot how it's setup.

Honestly, I should probably update that one to autodetect whether to use your int or wisdom mod for damage.

[vagrant wharf]

so does this go in the world setting macro thing?

[scarlet gale]

No

Make a hotbar macro

set it to script

paste that macro it

Then bury it in a folder somewhere

[vagrant wharf]

what

ok hotbar macro set to script, that I got

yeah didn't work

[scarlet gale]

Maybe a bad copy and paste?

Could you screenshot your setup for the feature

Keep in mind it's not an itemmacro

[vagrant wharf]

idk what that means

but here's what I have

[scarlet gale]

Try unchecking the box that says execute macro for everyone?

Actually

it looks like you dropped an i

at the start

the first if statement just shows an f

@vagrant wharf

[vagrant wharf]

oh ok

[vagrant wharf]

yeah I fixed the typo but it doesn't deal damage when the target attacks

but its not spitting error messages either

[scarlet gale]

are the conditions met for it?

[vagrant wharf]

its standing next to her attacking so I guess so?

[scarlet gale]

The target has to be the person who gave them the brand or someone within 5 feet of that person

[vagrant wharf]

yeah

its attacking the brander

[scarlet gale]

could you check the attacker's effects

and edit the effect and screenshot it

[vagrant wharf]

also it should be 6 not 3

[scarlet gale]

They have a wisdom modifier of 6?

[vagrant wharf]

no, it says it goes up to double

[scarlet gale]

oh gotcha

I didn't set it up for that, my players aren't 13th level yet

on the original effect put a *2 at the end of it

that should fix that

[vagrant wharf]

original effect?

also its not dealing 3 damage

its dealing 0

[scarlet gale]

that's odd

Is the target immune?

[vagrant wharf]

also I have no idea what the original effect is

and no

[scarlet gale]

the feature on the actor

[vagrant wharf]

*2 on the end of what

[scarlet gale]

edit the DAE effect to have *2 at the end of the first box

[vagrant wharf]

liek in the name

[scarlet gale]

effect value box

@abilities.wis.mod*2

[vagrant wharf]

ok

[scarlet gale]

As for why it's doing 0 damage, I'm not sure.

it actually shows 0 psychic damage applied in the chat box?

[vagrant wharf]

no

it just doesn't do anything

the attacker remains at full hp

without reference in chat box at all

[scarlet gale]

sounds like it's failing to meet a requirement somewhere

[scarlet gale]

That doesn't seem tied to this

[vagrant wharf]

idk

I see a wall of text

and I try to copy paste it in as best I can

[scarlet gale]

if (args[0].hitTargets.length != 1) return;
let actor = args[0].actor;
let damage = actor.flags.world?.feature?.bas?.damage;
let featureToken = actor.flags.world?.feature?.bas?.tokenid;
let applySelfDamage = false;
let targetToken = args[0].workflow.hitTargets.first();
if (!targetToken) return;
console.log('Chris: ' + targetToken.id);
console.log('Chris: ' + featureToken);
if (targetToken.id === featureToken) {
    applySelfDamage = true;
} else {
    let nearbyTargets = MidiQOL.findNearby(null, targetToken, 5, null);
    for (let i = 0; nearbyTargets.length > i; i++) {
        if (nearbyTargets[i].id === featureToken) {
            applySelfDamage = true;
            break;
        }
    }
}
console.log('Chris: ' + applySelfDamage);
if (!applySelfDamage) return;
let selfToken = args[0].workflow.token.document;
await MidiQOL.applyTokenDamage(
    [
        {
            damage: damage,
            type: 'psychic'
        }
    ],
    damage,
    new Set([selfToken]),
    null,
    null
);```

Update the macro to this

then screenshot your console after making another attack

added a debug line to see if it's meeting the requirements

[scarlet gale]

Looks like it's failing to meet the requirements

could you screenshot how you have your tokens arranged on the screen?

[vagrant wharf]

attacker on the left

the brander on the right

[scarlet gale]

and the scale of that map is 5 feet?

[vagrant wharf]

beleive so

[scarlet gale]

updated the above macro again to add more debugging

copy and paste it again and retry

and screenshot your console again

[scarlet gale]

scroll up?

I don't see my debug stuff in that

[vagrant wharf]

I dont know what you're looking for

like I dont know what the debug print would look like

[scarlet gale]

I see it, thanks

I see your error

you have feature and world swapped around

in the DAE

flags.world.feature.
not
flags.feature.world.

[vagrant wharf]

ok it worked

but did like 90 damage

instea of 6 it dealt 87

[scarlet gale]

it dealt not a number

[vagrant wharf]

it applied 87 damage to the attacker

[scarlet gale]

I'm guessing foundry didn't like @abilities.wis.mod*2

Just to check

remove the *2 from it

and see if it actually applies the wisdom modifier as damage

[vagrant wharf]

yeah it applied the -3

[scarlet gale]

ok

try having a space

@abilities.wis.mod *2

if it doesn't like that

[vagrant wharf]

87 damage again

[scarlet gale]

hmm

2 sec

[[@abilities.wis.mod*2]]

Change it to that.

[vagrant wharf]

ok that finaly worked

pretty silly it couldn't handle basic math

but at least its going now

[scarlet gale]

Honestly, it's probably something I messed up in the macro. Something like trying to turn a string into a int would throw it off

[vagrant wharf]

ahh

I have no idea but it works now thanks

this is the catchall hybrid I made that was supposed to auto regenerate pre 50% (bloodlust not included) but yeah it either fails to trigger or flatlines if turned on when the character is sub 50%

also fyi Aid when upcast doesn't apply the right HP

[scarlet gale]

Let me finish up the rite of dawn I'm working on

then I can take a look at that

[scarlet gale]

The Crimson Rite macro on my github has been updated to support the Rite of the Dawn.
I also added a on use macro to accompany it to automatically add the additional damage to undead targets.

https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros/blob/main/Features/Class Features/Blood Hunter/Order of the Ghostslayer/Rite of the Dawn/Chris-RiteOfTheDawn.js

Make a hotbar macro named Chris-RiteOfTheDawn set the type to script then burry it in a folder somewhere safe.

If you use ATL it'll also auto give the token 20 feet of bright light.

[gilded yacht]

I'll have a look.

[scarlet gale]

I wouldn't use an overtime for this.

I don't have any blood hunters that high of a level, but let it should be easy enough to slap a regeneration in front of my macro.

[urban seal]

Awesome! This works wonders, however for some reason when the player user tries to do this the effect isn't applied to them. Do I need to set up permissions or something like that?

[scarlet gale]

Might need to set the macro to observer.

What effect actually isn't getting applied?

Also, this macro uses a warpgate mutation, they must have a token on the scene for it to work.

[urban seal]

Think I found the problem.

Ill try fixing these permissions and seeing how it gose.

[scarlet gale]

yea

that would be why

Surprised it needs both of those, but easy enough to fix.

[scarlet gale]

Looks like for my setup I just made the feature a self targeted one and have the transformation have an on turn start effect macro to trigger it.

if ((actor.system.attributes.hp.max / 2) < actor.system.attributes.hp.value) return;
let feature = actor.items.getName('Hybrid Transformation Features: Bloodlust');
if (!feature) return;
await feature.roll();```

await MidiQOL.applyTokenDamage(
    [
        {
            damage: actor.system.attributes.con.mod + 1,
            type: 'healing'
        }
    ],
    actor.system.attributes.con.mod + 1,
    [token],
    null,
    null
);

@vagrant wharf Slap that in front of it and you're good to go.

If that doesn't make sense, let me know I can explain it better.

[opal wagon]

guys! How do you do the rogue's evasion? I was thinking of creating an effect to give the rogue resistance to all damage when using the feature, be they already have resistance to necrotic from other sources... any ideas?

is it superSaver?

[opal wagon]

Awesome!

[violet meadow]

ps: For Uncanny Dodge get the one from MidiQOL sample items compendium

[vast bane]

super saver is also good for shieldmaster as an ae applied when their shield is equipped fyi

[dark canopy]

wildcard tokens need to get a list of files from the server (use file browser) and modifying token properties requires configure token permissions.

@urban seal The latest version allows the GM to disable these strict permissions checks, by...disabling checking all together. Simple spawning doesnt need anything other than create token, but from there, its really hard to tell. These checks were an attempt to head off other errors "at the pass", so to speak.

[scarlet gale]

Makes sense. I haven't run into that warning, but it's likely because most of my players already have those permissions. I use wildcards a lot, including on player tokens. And I think default settings must have configure token set.

[dark canopy]

for trusted plr, i think so, yea

[dusk jungle]

i'm trying to get the Duergar's Enlarge ability to automatically trigger the DFred's CE via MidiQOL, but it won't work - is that simply because it's called "Enlarge/Reduce" in CE? creating a custom duplicate named Enlarge doesn't seem to do the trick - what am i missing?

[violet meadow]

Do other ones trigger automatically?

Creating an Item named Enlarge, works immediately for me, without any setting up 😄

[vast bane]

you can't duplicate nesteds I think in ce

just drag the ce to the duergar's item

delete the duplicate though or that will break it

[dusk jungle]

yeah other stuff triggers ok, it's a bit weird

[rotund oyster]

Question. I see the shiny thingy that says that Dnd5e Rule System needs an update. Does Midi QOL work with the new system?

Or should I ignore the update for now?

[spice kraken]

You could always backup, test, and revert if things are broken

[vast bane]

its not midi that will fail

its any oddball sheet modules

[spice kraken]

Did DAE get fixed?

[vast bane]

or modules that modify sheets

yeah

Tposney is da man!

[rotund oyster]

Then wait

No worries. I was double checking since I learned my lesson from last time

[vast bane]

if you are already on 2.1.0, 2.1.1 or 2.1.2 you might as well update, but if you are on 2.0.3 you may want to hold out till tidy is set

but also you should always measure the worth of any update, module, system, or foundry build, if your stability is perfect why update for things you don't need yet

[rotund oyster]

I am at 2.1.2

Hence why I ask

And last time I updated I messed everything up

So me learn lesson and always ask first

Just incase

[spice kraken]

And just always backup before updating

[vast bane]

having 2 installs helps alot with testing too

[rotund oyster]

That's true. I will think about it. Maybe that's best

Thanks for the advice

I will think of it

[mighty pier]

I still need help with it

[scarlet gale]

normally it's just item.roll()

Not sure what you're trying to do with that 2nd part

[plain forum]

its just a life drain macro. heals for damage dealt. i may have found the problem? ill delete it for now until i try more shit.

[rotund yoke]

So I'm trying to set up automation - I don't want to apply damage to PC's automatically, but I want them to damage npc's automatically.

I've set up the following:

And PC's get the damage buttons - but when they click them, the damage isn't automatically applied - I get prompted to apply it

Is there a way I can skip that last step? I don't want to have to click something every time to apply damage to pcs

[last loom]

I have managed to progress a little more in the macro that I was trying to do, I now know how to call the saving throw request through the monks token bar api, however I cannot get the result of the throw (whether it happened or not) because it is a Promise , and when I try to put it in .then() it stops executing, and if I put it in async... await tells me that it is not inside an asyn function when it is. Would anyone know how to make it work?

var selected_token = canvas.tokens?.controlled[0]//.actor;
//var target_token = game.user.targets.keys().next().value;
var targets_token = [];

game.user.targets.forEach(t => {
  if(t) targets_token.push(t)
})

const options = {rollmode : 'roll', silent : true, fastForward: true, dc: selected_token.actor.data.data.attributes.spelldc, request: 'save:wis'};
game.MonksTokenBar.requestRoll(targets_token,options);

targets_token.map(target => {
  
  if(target.actor.uuid != '' && !game.dfreds.effectInterface.hasEffectApplied('Frightened', target.actor.uuid)) {


    const uuid = target.actor.uuid;
   

    game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect({ effectName: 'Frightened', uuid });

  }
})

Another problem I find is that the saving throw request is always thrown at me, yes or yes, whether it hits or not, and it has to be only when it hits.

[violet meadow]

Can you remind me quickly the workflow of your Item?

Is it an attack and the effect should be applied to hitTargets which fail their saves?

[last loom]

when my attack hits, the target should do a wisdom saving throw, if the target misses the saving throw, Frigtened is applied to the target

[last loom]

yes

[violet meadow]

Make the Item a Melee Weapon Attack as normal.
Add the appopriate saving throw and check the box Full Dam Save.

Add a DAE on the Item, and just click the +, selecting the Frightened effect from the dropdown

[last loom]

ok, I'will try it

thanx

i tell you next

why there is a formula damage in the weapon attack?

[violet meadow]

Cause it is a normal weapon attack too, isn't it?

Anyway if it isn't needed in your case, just delete the damage formula part from the weapon attack 🤷

[last loom]

it's additional effect but i'm starting to understand you

[violet meadow]

I meant you can add this in the normal attack (if there is one) so you don't need an "additional" step or Item for the application of the Frightened condition

[last loom]

Is there a way to make the action effect cause every time it hits to roll this new spell/item?

[violet meadow]

Hmmm do you want to export the Action you have and the additional spell/item you talk about and DM them to me, so I can better understand what they are supposed to do?

[last loom]

okai

[vast bane]

@real sluice take the macro, paste it into the items item macro(button on the topbar where ASE was) and change the on use field to simply say ItemMacro after active effects. Then make sure the word false is definitely in the actual activation condition.

when you paste the macro, get it from the original incase you have a missing character in your folder macro version

[real sluice]

bear with me, this is all quite new to me

[vast bane]

I still think that this whole thing is alot of work for something that really doesn't need automation. What you are doing is inhibiting the player and not the character with the extra work. Just slap down a fog cloud animation and call it a day

[dark canopy]

and could consider use of the new "Blinded" stock condition (quickly checks self)

[real sluice]

tbh its an exercise in understanding the whole process. if i can do this then it means im understanding more whats going on

[vast bane]

what version number is your active auras(and what foundry build/dnd5e are you on)

[real sluice]

active auras v0.5.6

[dark canopy]

yes, ok, that is a potential approach for quickly blinding/unblinding tokens

[real sluice]

foundry v10 build 291

[vast bane]

oh did they fix the ac in 2.1.4?

[dark canopy]

AC?

what you talking about, this is blinded condition 😅

[vast bane]

I assume the blue number is ac, wasn't that broke?

[real sluice]

when should the onuse macro be called?

[vast bane]

after active effects

[dark canopy]

oh, maybe, this world is on 2.1.2

[vast bane]

unless you spot a macropass line in a macro for midi, its always after active effects

can you show me the item details again now that you've edited it

I wonder if the on use field can't handle spaces

[vast bane]

show us the macro and show us the item details

```js
paste macro here
```

[vast bane]

oh boy

wrong macro

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

[real sluice]

this must be painful for you. really appreciate it though

[vast bane]

My mistake all along was assuming the premade macro was setup lol, I haven't had to look at it in so long, that I usually just yoink it out of cloudkill or silence instead

woops

you neeed to have advanced macros apparently

that macro will not run unless you do

[real sluice]

got that

already enabled

[vast bane]

@violet meadow Is this true? If so we can't really shave advanced macros off midi premades if we still use active auras?

I bet you its needed cause theres no guarentee the user has midi

you should be good to go with the new macro

[violet meadow]

Not sure. From Active Auras module.json I see ```js
"relationships": {
"requires" : [
{
"id": "socketlib"
},
{
"id": "lib-wrapper"
}
]
},

[real sluice]

pardon me for swearing, but fuck it works!

[violet meadow]

So not a hard dependency anyways

[vast bane]

maybe its like something needed long ago and kandashi never edited the main macro

[real sluice]

just copied and pasted your macro text into the item macro fired off fog cloud and it works

[vast bane]

yeah pro tip, whenever you need that macro, just yoink it out of the item macro on any of the template aura premades in the active auras item compendium

[real sluice]

wish i could share a video to show

[vast bane]

silence, cloudkill, darkness all got it

I honestly didn't realize the macro itself in active auras was a blank template

[real sluice]

its a thing of beauty. thank you so much

[vast bane]

probably could have just used darkness as a copy/paste with a larger radious

[real sluice]

the only limitation and its a purely aesthetic thing is the spell doesnt persist if i tell AA to remove the template for visual appeal purposes

[vast bane]

use aa's new auto hide template feature

[real sluice]

where's that? i use the remove template feature but that causes the issue

[vast bane]

I haven't updated my aa but I know Otigon definitely accomadated us with a new auto hide feature for templates so that it would be cleaner with midi

don't remove templates with automated animations it will cause issues with midi(and active auras)

let midi handle template deletions

but theres a setting somewhere in automated animations that auto hides them unless you hover over them

[real sluice]

just found it.

[vast bane]

kinda a pita to turn off template deletion on 50 items in AA, I wonder if someone made a macro to do it yet

I just do it on demand when the player casts one for the first time lol

but I'm lazy

[real sluice]

ok got that working. ive still got a black circle but not all the blue squares anymore

[vast bane]

Does NoTarget work in the race field on a player character sheet?

[sharp knoll]

a macro you say...

[vast bane]

I just been doing it as they show up cause I'm a huge procrastinator

Is there a way to stop an actor from ever being able to roll at advantage? That isn't too complicated cause my fallback idea is just an advantage reminder?

[dark canopy]

can you flag them with both advantage and disadvantage?

should result in always canceling, yea?

[vast bane]

oooh thats a nifty idea

no cause they CAN have disadvantage

[dark canopy]

o

[vast bane]

ooooh I got a neat idea

what if I gave them every single midi flag that is advantage, priority 100, and set the effect value to false?

wait thats probably alot of flags

would be ok if it was just one thing, but this bane effect is

For the next 24 hours, the target can't gain advantage on attack rolls, ability checks, or saving throws.

I has an idea, I will cover my bases with an AR message, but use the all flags for all 3 of those in midi and priority 100 a false value

I'm gonna assume that an individual midi flag for con saves will still get through

[violet meadow]

You can use an actor onUse macro to just "turn" advantage off in the workflow I think

[vast bane]

it would have to be a macro of some kind that adds the folder/system macro to the actor on use right?

[violet meadow]

The flags.midi-qol.onUseMacroName

[vast bane]

oh neat, now I just need the prolly one liner code to kill advantage

Add/custom/override?

[violet meadow]

foundry.utils.setProperty(this,"advantage", false)

Custom

[vast bane]

what do I do for the macropass?

[violet meadow]

Try after targeting complete

Might pick up cover levels etc

[vast bane]

do you happen to know the code word for that phase?

[violet meadow]

check readme

[vast bane]

nevermind got it in the readme

[scarlet gale]

I would run later in the workflow

[violet meadow]

Depends on the roll to be

[vast bane]

preambleComplete

[scarlet gale]

Probably a good one

[vast bane]

LammathsBane, preambleComplete for the effect value?

[scarlet gale]

Looks right

[violet meadow]

Can be an itemMacro on the actor too

[vast bane]

nah its being rolled from actor A to potential actor B, if its an item macro on actor A wouldn't there be a permissions problem?

either way I have already made the folder macro, i agree its quite the mess in there but what you can't see doesn't hurt right? lol

the amount of player macros that are jut BLANK drive me batty

should make a world script that fires on launch that destroys any macro called "New Macro"

[violet meadow]

I painstakingly updates all my New Macros to having unique names...

Never again ...

[proper ocean]

Having some trouble with my damage workflow. What I'm trying to do is
A) Have NPCs take damage automatically
B) Have PCs not take damage automatically, while also being able to click the damage buttons on the attack roll itself
Currently when I have auto-damage on, they can seemingly only take damage from the player card, the roll buttons are visible but only spawn a new damage card when clicked

[vast bane]

can you show us what you think "roll buttons" are? I suspect you have the fallback buttons enabled or another module installed

the fallback buttons for midi are selected token only and do nothing when nothing is selected

[vast bane]

those are the fallback buttons, you must select a token for them

[proper ocean]

When I select a token and click them it spawns a new player card but doesn't input damage

I am looking to bypass the card and just receive damage from them

[vast bane]

I have auto damage on for everything, but are you sure you don't have that backwards with the auto apply damage to target thing

nm you got it right

[proper ocean]

auto damage on for everything might be the call, I just didn't want to steamroll past PC reactions

[vast bane]

why do you need the fallback buttons, I only use them when midi breaks mid workflow

[proper ocean]

I'm just trying to streamline the PC experience and its what they're used to from better rolls

[vast bane]

if you don't fast forward you don't steamroll through the workflow hehe

They should get a damage card too, you just don't see it in the DM view

its only visible to the pure owner of the token

[proper ocean]

Hm

Alright I'll remind them to use that and maybe start fiddling with reaction workflows

So I can turn full auto on

[vast bane]

reactions are still going to be finicky

[proper ocean]

That was my concern

[vast bane]

there are tons of reactions that are not going to prompt

like cutting words

[proper ocean]

oh yeah

[vast bane]

protective bond for peace clerics, any reaction that lets a third party act

so in those cases, either use the undo key, or don't fast forward damage

put a stoppage somewhere in the workflow

[proper ocean]

WAIT UNDO KEY?

Can you ctrl+z stuff?

[vast bane]

midis damage card has an undo key that is as smart as ctrl z yes

I do not trust ctrl Z in live sessions

[proper ocean]

Oh yeah, the undo key that's always been there that I forget to use lol

Hm

Well thank you

[vast bane]

the players get a card like this when they are damaged by a monster

[proper ocean]

yeah

[vast bane]

the midi undo button is better than the core rollers undo button, it remembers damage overflows when brought below 0

[proper ocean]

Ah okay, and core roller is ctrl+z

I presume

[vast bane]

eh I really don't trust ctrl z with high module counts

theres so much stuff automating that you don't know what you are ctrl z'ing

[proper ocean]

true lol

[vast bane]

the core method I know of is to just heal for the same amount, but since the token can't go negative it don't work right

[proper ocean]

Yeah it sounds like I need to stop ignoring the damage cards lol

I've just been trying to arbitrate everything off the fallback buttons

[vast bane]

theres actually 2 cards the DM can't see while just logged in as a DM, theres another buttonless card that the players get, he doesn't show them to the DM cause they are spammy and unnecessary to see as the DM

they get that for things they damage

[proper ocean]

Ahh

That's cool

[vast bane]

if you login as both a dm and a player with another browser you'll see em

[vast bane]

initial test run shows this setup to work perfectly thank you for the help!

[proper ocean]

Thank you for the help also

[vagrant wharf]

is there a way to specify "HP cannot go below 1" for things like death ward?

currently I have to manually re-assign 1 hp but concentration is broken etc

[vast bane]

I automated this but I need to revisit it cause of a funny interaction let me pull it up

for death ward have it apply an ae on roll to target as normall in midi. Then install Effect macro and add an on deletion macro:

actor.update({'system.attributes.hp.value': 1});
await game.dfreds.effectInterface.removeEffect(
            {
                'effectName': 'Prone',
                'uuid': actor.uuid
            }
        );

and on the active effect put a special duration for:

However, we discovered last session that this hilariously drops a full health person to 1 hp when it expires naturally lol

so I have to figure that out in the macro somehow

Probably an IF statement for IF they aren't at 0 hp then do that

I wonder if I could define the pre hp amount and then do a math equation of max(1, preHealth)

[toxic spruce]

Do you now if anyone has tackled the artificer infusions? Like enhance defense seems easy enough to do in DAE, but thought I would ask.

Item: A suit of armor or a shield
A creature gains a +1 bonus to Armor Class while wearing (armor) or wielding (shield) the infused item.```

[vast bane]

I don't host for an artificer but to me, infusions seem like a perfect use case for the macro.createitem setup

until he fixes that items don't auto equip/proficient, you have to use your own compendium with the items pre checked for boxes though, but eventually macro.createitem will be as simple as yoinking items right out of the dnd5e compendiums

[toxic spruce]

Thank you

[violet meadow]

Ohhh that sounds fun. Got a couple of ideas. Will need to be on my foundry instance to test them, so that will be later

[vagrant wharf]

yeah for now that was about what I could do, I just don't see an easy way to automate it

also is there a setting somewhere I'm missing in MIDI or elsewhere for half orc racial oh shit button for death?

which is functionally about the same I believe

[weary rune]

is it possible to have two effects on a failed save but have one them only apply if failed by >5 ? for Drow crossbows, I can do the poison on failed save part and Full Damage on save.

[vast bane]

macro territory sadly

I swear bugbear wrote this macro for me long ago though

literally for drow poison

[weary rune]

I guess the save data is available to the effect?

[vast bane]

I love it when I fat finger a trash can button that is the ONE that Item Delete Check doesn't prompt for

[violet meadow]

Yes in the workflow.saveDisplayData

[weary rune]

ugh, UI is fun

[scarlet gale]

if (actor.system.attributes.hp.value != 0) return;```
Slap that at the top

[violet meadow]

You get each target and each rollTotal

So make it an onUse macro, After Active Effects, go through that, get the ones failed by more than 5, apply effects on them

[scarlet gale]

I have something like that for my sprite familiar, appears I don't have it on my GitHub tho

If you don't have something by tonight I can get it posted

[scarlet gale]

I find that turning off auto remove concentration quickly fixes stuff like that

I have too many players with reactions that aren't easily automated that require undoing damage (and potentially restoring concentration)

Easier to just manually remove concentration when they do fail the save

[vast bane]

would be neat if it'd prompt the DM kinda like how wildshape prompts them to delete the shape when its done

[scarlet gale]

I bet a world script could at least remind the dm

Depending on if the actor info is there, a dialogue could ask.

[sacred raptor]

Our GM doesn't use the newest version of Foundry we use V9 I'm trying to adjust a weapon to do more damage vs a creature type . I tried using the mace of disruption as a base but it just adds the extra damage vs every creature type. Using V 9 is there a way to do this ?

[vagrant wharf]

yeah I just was hoping there was a way to do "oh shit button at 0 hp" stuff like half orcs get and death ward

Chris will this register as "radiant" in the bypass damage reduction sense or will that just appear as text

[vast bane]

the key to the mace of disruption is the activation condition field towards the top of the details tab. What do you have in that field, share it exactly here and someone will fix it. What creature types is it suppose to look for? Also your DM needs to be Jonny-on-the-spot with all his creature stat blocks cause if they don't have a creature type setup the weapon won't work right.

[scarlet gale]

Yes, it will work right

[olive harness]

I'm having an issue adding an ItemMacro to a spell and could use some help. I've been using this macro on the hot bar to remove "poisoned" status and it works fine, and it runs fine when I manually execute it through the Item Macro. But when I cast the spell it off the spell use it never triggers.

const uuid = canvas.tokens.controlled[0].actor.uuid;
const hasEffectApplied = await game.dfreds.effectInterface.hasEffectApplied('Poisoned', uuid);

if (hasEffectApplied) {
game.dfreds.effectInterface.removeEffect({ effectName: 'Poisoned', uuid });
}

I have On Use Macro set to ItemMacro / After Active Effects.

[vast bane]

I personally do this as an AR message cause they could use a different weapon if they get disarmed

[vast bane]

my first guess would be theres an error with Itemacro in it in the console, and its likely cause you have character sheet hooks on

go to item macros configure settings and turn off character sheet hooks

[olive harness]

Just checked and it's turned off

[vast bane]

oh wait

duh, you need to args that up

when you roll an item you usually don't select your target

you target your target

[olive harness]

oh ok

sorry, just learning macros

[vast bane]

the first line is telling the macro to apply the following to selected

[scarlet gale]

Iirc I have an automation for that spell

[vast bane]

is it just poisoned?

I have an automation for lesser restoration that I really really like
