MidiQOL

[coral dove]

I'll work on setting the damage type on the flag later

Don't understand the qol is not defined error tho, am I now allowed to call on midiqol inside the onUpdateTarget hook?

[kind cape]

JS does not allow - in field names, so you need to replace the following:
if (!target.flags?.midi-qol?.elementalBane) return;
With
if (!target.flags?["midi-qol"]?.elementalBane) return;

With that being said, I believe there is a getFlag method that you are better off using (on the actor)

[molten solar]

if( !target.flags?.["midi-qol"]?.elementalBane) return;

[kind cape]

You seem to have an extra dot in there or am I tired? 😛

[coral dove]

That is sensible

[molten solar]

You had one too few 🙂

[kind cape]

Right, I am tired.. Of JS 😂

[dark canopy]

shakes head not me, i just grab proto data and change what im told

[barren flume]

So they are friendly between each other now, and the enemy is neutral that they're attack but they're still not getting flanking

[vast bane]

its a strange interaction, the token is green, but per dfreds/midi cause it says hostile in the token setting, its still hostile and doesn't qualify for things like sneak attack ally or flanking or pack tactics

this is why I have duplicates of all my polymorph/summons for another compendium, the tokens in the summons batch have their hostile changed to ally and vision settings turned on

[dark canopy]

i cant speak to the skyscraper of modules you have running 😅 just saying that it is extremely unlikely to be a warpgate bug for something like this.

However, if such a thing can be reproduced via warpgate alone, i will absolutely address it

[vast bane]

if they are attacking someone, that someone should be hostile

red should target green/blue, and green/blue should target red. Yellow, I'm pretty sure, is ignored

[vast bane]

as sad as this sounds, I don't know how to use warpgate without midi lol

[barren flume]

Ok now he has flanking, so him not being hostile was the problem. I have it set to make everyone initially neutral, is there a way to easily flip them to hostile?

[vast bane]

either way though, my point is more that you can't trust the green color in midi

blue is reliable, but always double check greens are actually friendly

or is it the other way around, I can never tell which is player, and which is friendly of the two colors

let disposition = false
new Dialog({
    title: "Disposition Editor",
    content: "<h2>Select the disposition of the selected tokens</h2>",
    buttons: {
        friendly: {
            label: "Friendly/Ally",
            callback: () => {
                disposition = CONST.TOKEN_DISPOSITIONS.FRIENDLY;
            }
        },
        neutral: {
            label: "Neutral",
            callback: () => {
                disposition = CONST.TOKEN_DISPOSITIONS.NEUTRAL;
            }
        },
        hostile: {
            label: "Hostile",
            callback: () => {
                disposition = CONST.TOKEN_DISPOSITIONS.HOSTILE;
            }
        },
    },
    close: async () => {
        if(disposition === false) return;
        const updates = canvas.tokens.controlled.map(t => ({_id: t.id, disposition}));
        await canvas.scene.updateEmbeddedDocuments("Token", updates);
    }
}).render(true);

isn't there a naughty _ in this macro?

[molten solar]

There's a naughty lack of refactoring is what there is

[vast bane]

I got it a very very very long time ago lol

am I right that the underscore is not suppose to be used?

[molten solar]

in _id?

[vast bane]

yeah isn't that a console only thing

[molten solar]

No, you're thinking of _token

In this case, for batch updates, it tells Foundry what update object goes to what token document on the scene.

[vast bane]

I really like these kinds of dialogs, if they are actually dialogs, where the choices are all presented and you one click it

[molten solar]

im gonna rewrite it for shits and giggles

[vast bane]

I got it from macro polo waaaay back over a year ago I think, so its either you, flix, or freeze lol

[coral dove]

I managed to make almost everything work but the targeting in DamageOnlyWorkflow

const target = args[1].targetActor;
if (!target.flags?.['midi-qol']?.elementalBane) return;

const baneFlags = Object.keys(target.flags['midi-qol'].elementalBane);

if (!args[1].options.damageItem) return;

let damages = [];

console.log(args[1])

args[1].options.damageItem.damageDetail.forEach(d => {if (Array.isArray(d)) {damages.push(...d)} 
else {damages.push(d)}});

damages = damages.filter(d => d?.type).map(d => d.type);

damages.forEach(async (d) => {
if (baneFlags.includes(d)) {
const extraDamage = await new Roll('2d6').evaluate({async: true});
const targets = new Set([target]);
new MidiQOL.DamageOnlyWorkflow(args[1].sourceActor, args[1].sourceToken, extraDamage.total, d, targets, extraDamage, {flavor: `Elemental Bane - ${d}`});
}
});

} catch (err) {
console.log(err)}```

[vast bane]

log out args 1

[coral dove]

I did,

The target is there or I wouldn't get the flags

Should I get the token instead of the actor?

[vast bane]

yeah...cause its unlinked usually for targets

[coral dove]

Righto

[vast bane]

maybe this is an unlinked thing?

[coral dove]

WELL

That went wrong, it got stuck in a roll loop of some sorts

😄

I guess onUpdate does trigger itself again (thankfully I had to implement a once-per-turn logic anyway)

[molten solar]

const buttons = Object.keys(CONST.TOKEN_DISPOSITIONS).reduce((acc, key) => {
  acc[key] = { label: key, callback: () => key };
  return acc;
}, {});
const key = await Dialog.wait({
  buttons,
  title: "Disposition Editor",
  content: "<h2>Select the disposition of the selected tokens</h2>"
});
if(!key) return;
const disposition = CONST.TOKEN_DISPOSITIONS[key];
const updates = canvas.tokens.controlled.map(t => ({_id: t.id, disposition}));
await canvas.scene.updateEmbeddedDocuments("Token", updates);

[coral dove]

I might share it if I manage to make it work and anyone's interested

[barren flume]

Oh my god, that works. Thank you!

[vast bane]

@robust vault Autosneak works great if the rogue never offhand strikes nor has 5 levels in a martial to gain extra attack

If you want the choice back, don't use auto sneak, just use the other sneak attack in midi sample items

Also if you use dndbeyond, make sure its not replacing midis item with his

[robust vault]

yes, but that's the problem hahaha, I have a rogue with 2 weapons (one off-hand)

[vast bane]

Yer just using the wrong one from samples

You actualyl have to have both to have auto sneak, so just figure out which one is auto, and delete it

[robust vault]

Is it a bug that it rolls 2 times through the dae effect?

one of them seems to be visual effect

and happens when set mwak and rwak

[vast bane]

you are not using the right things

there is absolutely no reason to add mwak/rwak stuff

[robust vault]

melee weapon attack, and ranged weapon attack

[vast bane]

if you see that, then you must be using non midi sample items

its all handled in the item macro in midi sample items

if you use dndbeyond, tell it to stop replacing items on players, and then drag midi sample item 10.0.13 to the rogue, and delete its old sneak attack

that will get you the prompt, if you want auto, drag the auto too

if you mean therestwo instances of rolling, the way the damage bonus macro key works with DSN, is that it rolls the attack damage, then a second later rolls sneak attack

[robust vault]

How clumsy I am, you're right, eliminating auto-sneak and leaving the manual, yes, it ask for use it or not (midi sample item)

[vast bane]

but it should not be rolling any dice twice, its just seperating the rider from the attack roll

and if the weapon is also a d6, it may seem like rolling twice but its not

[robust vault]

yes, it only rolls once

So what was happening to me is a DAE bug?

[vast bane]

I have no idea what was happening to you

[robust vault]

Or maybe I should have separated it into 2 different effects? one for mwak and another for rwak

[vast bane]

the dae bug is for users who install 10.0.15 or later dae

[robust vault]

the same bug?

[vast bane]

nope cause I'm on 14 and never see it

[robust vault]

By the way, have you updated to 2.1.4 yet? or you still in 2.0.3

[vast bane]

I have a test build of it but I won't update till dae is fixed and everything looks fine

stability>all

for some reason I'm on 10.0.23 midi, I dunno why lol just noticed that

[robust vault]

I also did a test, but it seems that I had some error with "probably" tidy sheet, the item macro field was not seen in the sheet

[robust vault]

im on 10.0.24

I didn't want to update it anymore, because I think the author said he didn't know if later versions would work correctly in 2.0.3

[vast bane]

yeah thats why I'm not going anywhere

[robust vault]

I think you can update without problem to 10.0.24

[vast bane]

you see all the bug reports here, its just not worth the frustration. I only needed group sheets for my Battletech 5e crossover project anyway, nothing in 2.1.x was wanted/needed for my dnd campaign

Nah, I'm paranoid enough to trust my past judgement, I know theres something in 24 thats off

I'm vaguely remembering a MTB/midi bug with 24

[coral dove]

How can I go about changing an effect value in a macro? Do I use updateEmbeddedDocuments? Not sure how to patch values inside the changes array

[scarlet gale]

Copy the changes and add your own

Then update the effect with that

If it's on a unowned token you'll need to use a midi run as gm function

[stuck eagle]

I'm new to Midi QOL and I'm wondering how I could implement splash damage from a melee attack to creatures near the target. I currently have it set to take half the melee damage if they fail a dex save, but I realize that may be too complicated and could be a separate set or rolled value.

Obviously I don't want the attacker (a giant) to take the splash damage.

[vast bane]

can you share the feature you intend to implement instead of mechanics in foundry someone might have a better idea on how to do it

fwiw, Chris just did the cleave thing for me last night that is somewhat similar

[stuck eagle]

Ooh, Cleave does sound similar.

[vast bane]

but if you say what the rules as written are for the item, that'd be easier to figure things out with

[scarlet gale]

My macro can easily be edited to include a dex save

[vast bane]

cause you could be describing Green Flame Blade too

Or Ice Knife

is it a melee attack that splashes to all nearby creatures?

[stuck eagle]

Searing Greatsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit,
reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (4d6 + 7) slashing
damage and the target is pushed 10 feet away. If the
target is on fire, this attack does an additional 7 (2d6)
fire damage.
Creatures within 5 feet of the target must succeed on a
DC 19 Dexterity saving throw or take half the attack's
damage.

[vast bane]

I think this is more of a case of cloaning Ice Knife imo

[stuck eagle]

I forgot about the pushing target part. lol. This is so overkill.

I was thinking Ice knife also.

[vast bane]

Only change it to melee, but the question is, does the sword damage the user

[stuck eagle]

I was thinking it would use Active Auras. But I don't know if that can filter out active/selected token.

May require a whole macro.

[vast bane]

yeah has to be an on use macro

YOu'd probably need help from the gurus here, My thought is to plagerize mr.primates ice knife but you need the dex save damage to reference the damage.total of the item

if its homebrew, and you don't mind editing it, you could make this really simple and just make a second item for the save damage, and have the on use macro roll the second item and have that item be a template placement for damage

[stuck eagle]

Again, I think that part could be replaced with a new small roll instead of necessarily be related to the original damage roll.

[stuck eagle]

Exactly

[vast bane]

If you dont mind them being new rolls, then you could very easily edit ice knifes macro to work easier

[stuck eagle]

Where can I find that?

[vast bane]

however, does it damage the sword wielder?

[stuck eagle]

It shouldn't.

[vast bane]

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

will take some work cause ice knife is a spell though

[stuck eagle]

Thanks!

Where do I find automation of the critical hit damage option?

[vast bane]

there is a flag for it

[scarlet gale]

Like if the roll was a crit?

Or just the data for the weapon?

You can export the item as json if you want to easily see how foundry formats it, or look at the item in console with a console.log

[stuck eagle]

If the roll was a crit.

As in an overall Midi QOL (or other module?) setting, not for a particular item.

[scarlet gale]

Midi has settings for critical rolls if that's what you're asking.

If you're trying to see if a roll was a crit in an item macro you can check this.isCritical

[stuck eagle]

I see the part for setting what kind of damage a critical hit does. What I wanted to find was the way to roll by default the crit damage if it is a crit.

[slim summit]

I've tried make something using the midi item as base, don't know if there is something wrong there, but here is the monk deflect missile as effect macro

[scarlet gale]

just an fyi, you have some data.data in there

[slim summit]

yeah, I'm not good with programming, but with copy and paste I get things done

😄

[scarlet gale]

if it's data.data chagnge it to system
if it's just .data yeet it

[slim summit]

hmm

[timber horizon]

Hi! I'm on Foundry v.9. Using Midi QOL and convenient effects. Basically, I want to create a custom status effect that causes the sufferer to deal half damage with all weapon and spell attacks. It seems like it should be simple enough but I've been tinkering around in DAE with no luck

[scarlet gale]

Not sure about doing it via any specific flag, but pretty doable with an on use macro.

Is this for ray of enfeeblement?

[timber horizon]

No, it's actually a homebrew thing. Basically like a "Weakened" status effect. I couldn't find a flag that did what I wanted it to do. I was afraid that might be the case, I'm pretty bad with macros.

[scarlet gale]

ah ha

#1010273821401555087 message

I knew I did something like this before

[timber horizon]

My hero

I'll check this out now

[violet meadow]

Should do the 5 ft radius half appliedDamage.

[stuck eagle]

Wow, cool!

[violet meadow]

Will proof read it in a bit cause no way I haven't messed something up 😄

[stuck eagle]

Do I paste the whole text into the Field in front of After Active Effects or do I save it as a new macro and reference it there somehow?

Drag/Dropping the macro didn't do anything. 😛

[stuck eagle]

Definitely not pasting it into the field, lol.

Oh, ItemMacro is a new button at the top. I see.

[wind pecan]

Hi everyone! I'm homebrewing some spell-like abilities for my 5e game. I'm trying to get this effect to roll correctly, but it's not adding the advantage to the roll. Could that be caused by having the roll "fast-forwarded"?

[scarlet gale]

effect value field needs a 1

[wind pecan]

Ah.. empty is null then. ok

[spring dove]

Hey all. Is this part of Midi, or DnD5e module?

[scarlet gale]

Another module

[violet meadow]

Yes. I changed it a bit. Copy paste it again and try it out

Should it target only enemies?

[wind pecan]

Thanks! that fixed it.

[coarse mesa]

Rest Recovery

[spring dove]

Well shit. My Rest Recovery settings page is blank.

[coarse mesa]

Might need a reinstall

[stuck eagle]

It should target all but the sword wielder.

[violet meadow]

This should do it. ```js
if (!args[0].hitTargets[0]) return;

const pseudoItem = new Item.implementation(itemData, {parent: args[0].actor})
await pseudoItem.roll()

Another small edit. I had forgotten to add the proper damage

[stuck eagle]

I think I'm getting too many roll dialogues and the damage isn't being applied anymore. I don't know what to do. Sorry, I should get the basics of MIDI QOL figured out before I go into these advanced macros.

Do I need to remove the nromal Dex save setting on the item?

It looks like the Rock attack which I haven't messed with still applies damage.

[vast bane]

I didn't see anyone correct your earlier message but hes making you an on use macro, that means you save it in your folder macros or you make it an item macro. And then you get its name OR use ItemMacro at the bottom of the items details where the on use field is created

it sounded like you were pasting the macro into the on use field which is bad.

[violet meadow]

You just need this in the main weapon as either an ItemMacro | After Active Effects or macro name | After Active Effects

[vast bane]

they will need to install item macro and if its a fresh install, go in and turn off character sheet hooks in item macro

[stuck eagle]

I've got ItemMacro installed, yeah. I pasted it into the ItemMacro and set ItemMacro as the text.

[vast bane]

ok so whats not working about it, show us what it looks like in chat

[stuck eagle]

Oh, looks like the issue was that it wasn't equipped after I had dragged it from my items.

To the actor.

[wind pecan]

I don't suppose there is a flag to ignore Disadvantage when making a ranged attack, is there? That would just be something the player would hopefully remember (an effect of a homebrewed spell)

[stuck eagle]

I don't know why Windows has decided to turn everything bright white when snipping now, lol.

[hot flower]

As usual, i'm in awe of your encyclopedic knowledge of midi and foundry!

[vast bane]

I'm pretty sure you have two roller modules installed?

unless bugbear meant for the macro to repeat itself?

[vast bane]

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...

[violet meadow]

flags.midi-qol.ignoreNearbyFoes - when set cancels ranged attack disadvantage from a nearby enemy. Useful for Crossbow Expert feat.

flags.midi-qol.sharpShooter- cancels disadvantage when shooting at long range.

[wind pecan]

Hey Great! That's good enough 🙂

Is it necessary to give effects different priorities if you have multiple effects coming from the same spell/item/whatever?

[stuck eagle]

Thanks, that was really not clear. I had Ready Set Roll for 5e active.

[vast bane]

You cannot mix rollers

[violet meadow]

nope, except for some really unique edge cases

[stuck eagle]

Now I've getting this

I don't see a roll for dex save or damage applying to nearby tokens.

[scarlet gale]

That still doesn't look like the midi chat card

[violet meadow]

Can you get a screenshot of the rest of the Item pls?

It will not be an actual item that you roll. It will be used automatically after a successful attack of your Searing Greatsword

You don't need any saving throw on the greatsword

Just the macro execute call

[stuck eagle]

I joined one of the voice channels if someone wants to get on with me.

[scarlet gale]

Scroll down on the item

then screenshot it

[violet meadow]

Can you export me the Item?

[violet meadow]

👀

[stuck eagle]

Oh, maybe that happened after I deleted ll the empty things that were created when pasting in the wrong place.

[dark canopy]

oh, this might be helpful or fun here -- warpgate 1.16 added a notice function for pinging/panning any user as any user.
https://trioderegion.github.io/warpgate/warpgate.plugin.html#.notice

(a player is mutating unowned tokens and pinging them to just the owner -- the gm observing, in this case)

[violet meadow]

Works fine for me 🤔

[stuck eagle]

Yeah, I remade the item... It doesn't seem like the macro is triggering.

Uncaught (in promise) ReferenceError: undefined. math is not defined

I found this error.

math is a library I need for the macro?

[vast bane]

why is it attacking at -4?

[vast bane]

This is actually a bug I've been ignoring with midi/dae

dae's buttons and midi, sometimes don't update the UI when you click the + key

[stuck eagle]

It's to do with using proficiency dice instead of static proficiency bonus. I know, it doesn't make a lot of sense.

[vast bane]

you have to close and reopen and then suddenly you have 20 blank effects or 20 blank on use fields

[vast bane]

isn't that automated?

Does dnd5e really do that?

[scarlet gale]

I swear there is a setting for that somewhere

[dark canopy]

yes

[vast bane]

I know you can change to prof dice in dnd5e's settings, had no idea they did it...janky like that

[stuck eagle]

I added the negative because I found the attack bonus way too high, but this is a homebrew monster, so that may have to do with it.

[vast bane]

a prof die of 4 would be 1d6 I believe?

oh so you are just handicapping the monster then

its not dnd5e's feature doing that

either way, you need to clean the item up, but I suspect bugbears probably going to link a clean item for you to import

[scarlet gale]

That seems neat. Would be interesting to try adding pings to my token selector dialogue.

[scarlet gale]

@dark canopy There a way to not have a radio button take up 50% of the dialog box when using a warpgate menu?

I'm running into the issue of long monster names not fitting the dialogue well.

[vast bane]

part of the reason we had the name I think was to be able to tell them apart, but if that new warpgate thing can do pings..

[scarlet gale]

Honestly, dialogs confuse me to no end

I'm not sure how to get a 3rd column in here

or have the buttons do the ping without closing the dialog

Might be a case of making the dialog without warpgate

For now I guess I'll just chop off the end of the string if it gets too long

[violet meadow]

You will need to do stuff in the render, get the data.content from the dialog, change them as needed and rerender the dialog

If I understood what you said correctly

[scarlet gale]

oh

that looks super messy

[coarse mesa]

Would likely be a simple fix in Custom CSS for your own server… but not gonna help if you’re sharing it

[scarlet gale]

Wanted to avoid doing that

At any rate I cleaned it up slightly from the version I gave Moto (and removed the damage reduction). Here's a DMG cleave macro: https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros/blob/main/Mechanics/DMG Cleave/Chris-Cleaver.js

Setup as an on use macro on the actor that's run after active effects.

[coarse mesa]

I’ve been forced to do the same for a few dialogs. Have a special section in my CSS to keep them clear of more permanent adjustments

[scarlet gale]

I looked at the render thing and decided I'll just be lazy and clip the name to 24 characters

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[coarse mesa]

Be neat if there was a way to add inline CSS to warpgate dialogs

[scarlet gale]

the text takes html

But the dialog is made with a table and I didn't see any obvious way to customize that

[violet meadow]

Nothing to see here: https://github.com/thatlonelybugbear/FoundryMacros/blob/main/Loadout selection/Loadout_v10.js#L66

Well I need to update that ✍️

[coarse mesa]

I have an idea.... how do I trigger this dialog?

[scarlet gale]

Kill an enemy while having another one within 5 feet of the enemy and the attacker.

[violet meadow]

Make it a button dialog with each target another button 😁

[dark canopy]

you can pass a render callback similar to regular dialogs, but at the moment, i dont have a ton of styling control

[coarse mesa]

noob chiming in here... this will fix the dialog once it's onscreen but I don't know how to get this to run at the right time lol.... (async is hard)

let ths = document.querySelector('.dialog-content').getElementsByTagName('th');
for (let t of ths) {
    t.style.width = "auto";
    t.style.textAlign = "left";
    };  
let tds = document.querySelector('.dialog-content').getElementsByTagName('td');
for (let t of tds) t.style.width = "50px";

[dark canopy]

use the render callback: https://trioderegion.github.io/warpgate/warpgate.html#.menu

[gilded yacht]

Hey a quick poll for midi users - should damage be rolled before saving throws? Yes means that players see how important the roll is. No means that in the event that everyone saves and there is no damage on save, no saves would be required. 👍 means damage before save (the way things are now) 👎 change it so save before damage It should be a configuration option (this might be hard/tedious to do)

[gilded yacht]

Not sure if this got resolved, I think the problem is that it should be Math not math in the macro code

[coarse mesa]

I don't actually mind either way, and don't want extra work for you – but our table has often scratched their head at needing to roll damage before the save. Especially with DSN going it just takes more time. And yeah a config would be the ideal but not if it's tedious for you!

[coarse mesa]

Well isn't that a smart thing to have in there...
@scarlet gale it's kinda brute force but this works

[dark canopy]

in the render callback, i bet you need that wait because it was executing too early?

its because you are calling it immediately 😉

render: chris.funcName

no parens, that evaluates the function

[coarse mesa]

oh neat, thanks

[coarse mesa]

Smooth as silk now... have updated

[sudden crane]

@scarlet gale you should update your macro to MidiQOL.completeItemUse

[robust vault]

Doesn’t work with Roll Groups?? I have both activated and have not noticed anything "strange".

[fluid cradle]

Is there a problem with midiqol? I have the lastest 10.0.27 version and the workflow settings just dont save

[violet meadow]

Strange. I haven't encountered something similar

[fluid cradle]

It was already weird to me that when i updated the dnd system from 2.0.3 to 2.1.4, and all of my midi settings were deleted :/

[molten solar]

Does RG actually get to do anything?

[robust vault]

Yes... I have midi and RG, and I can roll RG as normally. I Actually have an item, dagger of venom that works. And I think I have a few more.

[molten solar]

Well then.

[robust vault]

So far it seems that both modules work fine. Even with automated apply dmg from midi

[timber horizon]

I'm trying to implement a "death burst" ability, like the Dust Mephit monster has. Basically, an AOE save that triggers when the creature dies. Is there a MidiQOL flag for something like that, or would I need a macro?

[sleek bone]

So I found this message further up in the chat when trying to set up AoA for a player yet it seems to not work - When I cast it; it DOES apply an effect to the player but there is no temp HP and no damage dealt when something attacks the player. I'm still on V9 of Foundry and got Version 0.3.4 of World Scripter (As it said it is compatible with Foundry V9 and 10 yet when I downloaded it I DID get a warning that it has no "set compatible version) - Must I have a specific version of World Scripter for V9 that is not Version 0.3.4? Or is that macro not functional for V9 and intended for V10 perhaps?

[keen remnant]

Should this not give Magic Resistance (spell saving throw advantage) or am i just missing something here?

[violet meadow]

There are 4 ways I can think off.

1. DAE with a special duration of ZeroHP and a macro.execute which will roll an Item (or a pseudo Item example but not to be uses as is #1010273821401555087 message).

2. DAE with a flag for onUpdateTarget checking HP and when the newHpValue is 0, execute macro.

3. Effect Macro with a trigger on combatant marked defeated

4. World script monitoring hp of actors

[violet meadow]

You are missing the proper Change Mode.
Should be Custom (or Override) and not Add

[keen remnant]

Assume 1 to set the effect "true"

[violet meadow]

Better share the actual link of the macro 🤷

[violet meadow]

1 or true does it yes

[keen remnant]

thanks

Also quick Question did anyone ever make the Adamantine Armors work? The make crits just hits?

[sleek bone]

https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros/blob/main/Spells/Armor Of Agathys/Chris-ArmorOfAgathysWorld.js Sorry bout that, this is the one in question

[violet meadow]

flags.midi-qol.fail.critical.all: (applies when targeted - attacker can't do a critical attack - think adamantine armor)

I would suggest going through MidiQOL's readme once 😉
https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/tree/v10#flagsmidi-qol for flags

[keen remnant]

oh yeah im in the process of setting things still up

[violet meadow]

The linked one is NOT v9 compatible

[keen remnant]

im currently converting everything from tabletop simulator and a ton of DND beyond homebrew things

[violet meadow]

well I have to say, make what you need currently and not everything at once 😅

It will ensure you don't lose your sanity !

[keen remnant]

was never sane in the first place, but i have 3 weeks of vacation from this sunday onwards so i know what im spending my time on xD

[sleek bone]

#1010273821401555087 message There is this one too apparently which by reading the Chat logg: Chris seems to refer to as a now "Older" version but yeah, I aint go no clue how to just look at a script and tell "Yep, that is / isnt compatible with V9"

[violet meadow]

if you see in the macro references to system, it should be 99% a v10 macro.

[sleek bone]

Ahhh, well - Now that I have learned that I am less likely to bugg you lot here AS MUCH in the future ^^'

[violet meadow]

Change the relevant lines to js let attackType = workflow.item.data.data.actionType; , js let targetEffect = targetActor.effects.find(eff => eff.data.label === 'Armor of Agathys'); and ```js
let tempHP = targetActor.data.data.attributes.hp.temp;

[sleek bone]

Hmm, even after changing that nothing seem to happen - Now it does not even apply the "effect" to the token anymore

[violet meadow]

There should be an error on the console

[sleek bone]

I don't get one of those flashy red ones at last - Not even a pop-up error kinda thing

[vast bane]

Would changing it allow for non fast forward users to be able to use the optionalname macro key for save bonus?

Cause if it does fix that, then I think that kinda answers things as its always a positive to expand user experience

For context:

[late fractal]

Hello, I am working on a macro for Thunderous Smite. I have used one I found online a base, it almost works...but the strSave gets rolled by the player for the target which is just a bit weird. Anyone have any idea how I can change that to have the GM do the save? Macro-polo redirected me here

[vast bane]

I need an on use macro that just ends concentration if it exists on the actor. Anyone help?

[dark canopy]

await warpgate.mutate(token.document, {embedded: {ActiveEffect: {Concentration: warpgate.CONST.DELETE}}}, {}, {permanent:true})

[vast bane]

If the item has the action type "Healing" is the fifth line still suppose to say damage?
Also, is there a missing [period] in line 2?

const item = token.actor.items.getName("Healing Spirit Heal")
const {castLevel} = effect.flags["midi-qol"].castData;
if (castLevel > 3) {
    let newItem = duplicate(item.system)
    newItem.damage.parts[0][0] = `(${castLevel} - 1)d6`
    await item.update({'system.damage.parts': newItem.damage.parts})
}

[dark canopy]

i'll answer after i give a protip

when in doubt about paths, put/create the item in the sidebar as desired, open the console and type game.items.getName('name of item').toObject()

that will dump out data in the exact format used in update

if you were to do that, you would see that a healing formula still uses the system.damage.parts entry, just with healing as the damage type 🙂

[vast bane]

Am I right in catching a missing period too?

after flags?

[dark canopy]

no, that is "map-style accessing", compared to "object-style accessing"

[vast bane]

phew, was gonna have to update a bunch of things lol

[dark canopy]

i.e. object.with.parts == object['with']['parts']

[vast bane]

Thanks!

Is there a way to link dropping of concentration when an item uses its last charge?

[dark canopy]

not inherently, but an item macro checking for remaining uses and killing conc could work

[vast bane]

ok so its likely item.system.uses.value

[violet meadow]

You will need to use the MidiQOL function ```js
await MidiQOL.socket().executeAsUser(handler,userId,...args)

[vast bane]

const usesLeft = item.system.uses.value
if (usesLeft === 0) {await warpgate.mutate(token.document, {embedded: {ActiveEffect: {Concentration: warpgate.CONST.DELETE}}}, {}, {permanent:true})
}```
Would this do it?  On use macro?

[scarlet gale]

Need a () around that

[vast bane]

I'm shocked thats the only part lol

[scarlet gale]

if (usesLeft === 0)

[vast bane]

isn't it a capital I?

[last loom]

Is there an attribute key to run "on combat turn start" macro?

[scarlet gale]

Like run a macro? Could be done with effect macros.

[vast bane]

there is a dae one, but I find that effect macro has better flags and you can jump into #macro-polo for help with EM

[last loom]

okai thanx

[last loom]

Yeah but I wanted to know if there was a way to do it with this

[vast bane]

Just to clarify above, my above macro is going to delete concentration on the actor who is using the item right? if its charges hit 0? What happens if it destroys the item at 0?

[vast bane]

I believe any of the macro.'s could theoretically run wth the duration tab macro thing for dae?

[scarlet gale]

Pretty sure it should hit 0 then and then delete, I think you'll be fine.

[violet meadow]

Actually scratch my previous answer... You are targeting self, so the hitTargetUuids will be, you guessed it, the attacker's 😄

Use game.user.targets.first() instead

[vast bane]

I'm actually shocked I pieced all that together and it is ok lol

[scarlet gale]

Personally I would just use the midi function to delete the effect, but warpgate is fine too.

[vast bane]

Badger beat you guys to it ;p

its a self delete fwiw

if it were a delete on unowned, I'd probably have to utilize midi right?

[dark canopy]

exact same syntax, that's half the point of warpgate 😅

[violet meadow]

Also for keeping it MidiQOL related, ```js
const usesLeft = item.system.uses.value;
if (usesLeft === 0) {
await MidiQOL.socket().executeAsGM('removeEffects', {'actorUuid': item.actor.uuid, 'effects': item.actor.effects.filter(eff=>eff.label === "Concentrating").map(eff=>eff.id) });
}

[last loom]

Why is this not showing up for me?

[vast bane]

are you on the right tab?

[keen remnant]

Anyone knows how to make a Monster Trait give magic immunity, due to me currently needing a solve for "immunity to magic third level or lower" and as Tiamat wasnt a import option to look at i am confused, first why she isnt in the importable content and also me not being able to copycat it and change numbers xD

[vast bane]

Named creatures are always copyrighted i believe

[vast bane]

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

Did you just edit that macro you sly Bugbear you @violet meadow

[last loom]

foundry 10.291, dnd5e 2.1.4

[violet meadow]

Do you expect Concentration to be active on the actor when you run this macro?

[vast bane]

yes, for context, I'm using it for the createitem of the holy weapon BOMB, so when the caster chooses to bomb with it, it should end his concentration killing the effect on actor B and actor A.

I'm also using it for healing spirit which creates a temp item on the caster as well. Killing conc when it empties

[violet meadow]

It should be fine

[scarlet gale]

If you care for it Moto, I have a holy weapon setup.

[vast bane]

what happens to a duration effect when the item originating from it is deleted?

[vast bane]

Did you mutate an existing item?

[scarlet gale]

Yep

[vast bane]

I've had bad luck in the past so I was afraid to do it again, the shilleliegh in midi srd ruined an item on me once. So I've been afraid to do it again. I did this instead:

[dark canopy]

the purpose of showing the warpgate answer was to give a line that will work under any condition -- owned/unowned, concentrating or not

[scarlet gale]

I use a warpgate mutate, it can't break the weapon

[dark canopy]

100% was not a warpgate mutate if it destroyed the weaponn

[scarlet gale]

shilleliegh does an item update IIRC

[vast bane]

Yeah I think the shileleigh macro was just an edit of the item with args on/off

and cause of weirdness it broke the original item

[scarlet gale]

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

Update line 1 in the effect macro to use your own compendium pack key

And the json file is the explode feature that needs to be in the compendium

[late fractal]

Thanks for the info. I am trying to work out how I would have a socket message identify an actor to do a str saving throw. It seems like it would require me probably write a new function unless there is one somewhere I dont know about?

[vast bane]

why does it need a pack name?

oh is it a macro.createitem?

[scarlet gale]

Because it's adding the explode effect as a feature, similar to how a macro.CreateItem does.

But it warpgate mutates it onto them

[vast bane]

oooh ok

so that second entry is an actual item I import gotcha now its making sense

the holy weapon effect macro goes on a simple empty holy weapon effect?

[scarlet gale]

yep

just make sure the duration is correct in the spell

[vast bane]

yeah 1 hour, I was letting dae handle that from the details tab

[scarlet gale]

should be good with that

oh hold on

the burst item macro needs a slight change

I didn't include my helper function in it lol

[vast bane]

Let me know when it is updated

[scarlet gale]

Updated

[last loom]

By the way, is the Auras tab due to a module that adds it or is it due to a foundry update?

[violet meadow]

const roll = await MidiQOL.socket().executeAsUser("rollAbility", game.users.find(i=>i.name==="Peter").id, {request:"save",targetUuid:game.users.find(i=>i.name==="Peter").character.uuid,ability:"str"})

Get the user.id some way

[scarlet gale]

If you ever want to cut out a bunch of duplicated code from my macros, you can this script into your world scripter folder:
https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros/blob/main/Macros/Utility/Helper Functions/Chris-HelperFunctions.js

Then you can cut out the whole let chris = whatever function from top top of any of my shared macros.

[violet meadow]

Active Auras module, if you mean a new tab in the DAE config window

[vast bane]

why doesn't he have the macro repeat field? is that a bug in 2.1.4?

or does it only show up if the item has a macro key?

Active Auras and Effect macro are pretty rock solid required modules for most of the premade stuff you can yoink here into your own world btw. And we mostly use Em for repeating macro stuff

[violet meadow]

Install Times up

[vast bane]

wow never knew that was a times up feature, that is strange lol.

[last loom]

thanx

[vast bane]

macro repeat feild is times up not dae.

How do I have an item roll a template and deal only damage to enemies?

My thought is to use this macro as an on use?

game.user.updateTokenTargets(args[0].targets.filter(tok=>tok.disposition !== canvas.tokens.get(args[0].tokenId).document.disposition).map(i=>i.id))

but when should this macro be called?

[violet meadow]

args[0].targets.filter(t=>t.disposition === -1)

[vast bane]

should this be a 1 line on use macro?

ok so mine is the good one?

[violet meadow]

After targeting complete

preambleComplete

[vast bane]

will it cause all their spells or only THAT spell? I want it just for THAT spell

[violet meadow]

Item onUse, not Actor onUse and you fine

[scarlet gale]

Thanks for the fix. Just applied it to my macro, although I rearranged where the function was kept.

[scarlet gale]

Didn't realize that function was deprecated, this is what I get for having the yellow warnings in my console turned off.

Looking much better.

[violet meadow]

@vast bane something that can help in some situations and I keep forgetting 😄 ```js
const concentationEffect = MidiQOL.getConcentrationEffect(actor)

[vast bane]

oh god where is this suppose to go lol

[violet meadow]

Wherever you want to define or check for the existence of a Concentration effect on the actor

Do you want a tip? Open console.
Type MidiQOL. and go through the auto completion entries! Heaven

DAE. too

[vast bane]

I've moved on to automating Wither and Bloom, I've already decided I'm changing the spell, its too dumb to cost a spell slot and hit dice. So my version is just aoe damage and then pick a target in the same template to heal

[violet meadow]

How many targets?

[violet meadow]

just one?

[vast bane]

1 target

[violet meadow]

Do you wanna try mine?

[vast bane]

If you got one I'll take it lol

[scarlet gale]

Clicking on it in console and looking at the code to figure out how it functions lol

None of these functions are documented at all lol

[violet meadow]

oh yeah

DAE.createToken
DAE.teleportToToken
DAE.blindToken

MidiQOL.canSense

[violet meadow]

It's a bit too much 😄
https://github.com/thatlonelybugbear/FoundryMacros/blob/main/Healing_sliders/healing_sliders_3_targets_withMidiQOL.js

Heals 3 friendlies in 30ft radius, up to a total of damage dealt in principle

sliders ftw

[stuck eagle]

Hey, Tim! No I still am not getting the whole macro to work as there don't appear to be Dex saves or damage applied to the bystanders.

[scarlet gale]

Could you show us the macro you're using?

[violet meadow]

Disable ASE module

[stuck eagle]

This one here.

[tranquil island]

Hi there. I am currently trying to program the potion of giant size, and I am having trouble with its function for tripling damage. Is there a way via midi qol to multiply a weapon's damage output by 3? The attribute key + mode I have been using does not work for such function, and I don't know if there is a better method to solve my issue. Any help is much appreciated

[stuck eagle]

Aww, but it's so cool looking. I'll give it a try though.

[violet meadow]

You are using a v9 module that is known to create issues with lots of stuff (until its updated to v10)

[scarlet gale]

ASE is currently buggy at the moment on v10

[violet meadow]

Do you use Activation Conditions in general?

Ah nah scratch that

[scarlet gale]

I have a potion of giant size automation available. Requires a little bit of setup however.

[violet meadow]

Actor on Use, setDamageRoll 3*roll probably 🤔

[scarlet gale]

https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros/tree/main/Items/Potions/Potion of Giant Size

First js is the item macro, second is an on use, and the 3rd is an effect macro to revert the extra HP.

[tranquil island]

great, ill try that out

thank you

[scarlet gale]

Let me know if you run into trouble with the setup

[violet meadow]

You could consolidate all in one ItemMacro

[scarlet gale]

If you give the potion to someone else I don't think it can reference the item macro on them?

I guess the whole thing could just be a hotbar macro and be one macro.

[last loom]

The AE icon is supposed to be visible to the tokens around Sefris, right? I don't know where in which channel should I ask this question about this module

[scarlet gale]

If it's an AA, not always. You can look on the effects tab on the other nearby creatures to verify it's working.

[last loom]

not seem

[dark canopy]

where is the item macro stored?

[scarlet gale]

If done as an item macro, on the item in the actor inventory.

The on use feature needs to work for everyone. So that should be saved in a folder.

[dark canopy]

was trying to puzzle out if bugbear was correct

[scarlet gale]

flags.midi-qol.onUseMacroName CUSTOM ItemMacro.whatever will be looking for the item on the character. And they won't have it.

[dark canopy]

but...im a bit out of my depth on the workflow here, so nevermind me 😅

[vast bane]

go to the first tab and FORCE SHOW = 1

[vast bane]

Also just an fyi, midi hates suspended effects, don't use dnd5e's srd compendium for any spells/features that suspend effects. Bugbears profile has his github link, get midi srd from there it solves that problem. If you are trying to make the paladin aura, its already in midi sample items in your compendium tab

[last loom]

so the auras module doesn't work if i use midi?

[vast bane]

it does

there are nuances you have to deal with for some things when midi and aa are running

but if you explain what you are trying to do we can help you better

[last loom]

I just wanted to make an aura of say 20ft that would give resistance to all damage

[vast bane]

the default setting for active auras is combat only, so you prolly aren't seeing a dang thing if combat isn't active

[stuck eagle]

Tried deactivating Advanced Spell Effects module, but macro is still not fully working.

[vast bane]

its probably really wonky midi settings

I don't see merge card, I don't see check hits, I don't see check save

do you have require targets on at all?

how bout target with templates?

[violet meadow]

You can do flags.midi-qol.onUseMacroName CUSTOM ItemMacro.Item.uuid, macroPass

[tranquil island]

the damage multiplier works (thank you!), but I am not getting the item macro to apply, likely due to me not completing a certain step. How do I get the item macro script to activate?

[violet meadow]

Any errors in console?

[scarlet gale]

Oh, good to know.

[violet meadow]

And also ItemMacro.compendium.macro.uuid

[last loom]

the same thing

[scarlet gale]

Is the item macro setup on the item. As in when you scroll down on details it has ItemMacro set in the on use field.

And that the SD card icon at the top has the item macro pasted into it.

[vast bane]

show me the first tab of the active effect on the item on the actor who has it

and show us the effect key you are using for the active aura

[tranquil island]

I didnt have the On Use Macro set

let me try that out

[vast bane]

Theres many things you could have wrong here.

1. You could be using the DR key instead of dr key for damage resistance(very common mistake with new midi users)
2. You could have no value in the keys effect value field
3. You could actually have a functional aura, but its not displaying the ae
4. You didn't roll the item and its set to roll.
5. You forgot to link the actor and its not on the canvas actor.
6. You could have the wrong version of active auras installed.

@last loom ⬆️

[stuck eagle]

commons.js:1703 Error: You are accessing the ChatMessage#data object which is no longer used. Since V10 the Document class and its contained DataModel are merged into a combined data structure. You should now reference keys which were previously contained within the data object directly.

[violet meadow]

Don't worry about that

Look for red ones

[stuck eagle]

I changed some setting and got Auto saves, but only by the targeted token, not the ones next to it.

[vast bane]

thats probably your midi target settings at the top of the workflow buttons workflow tab

[violet meadow]

That is Damage Reduction

not damage resistance. Moto got it 😄

[stuck eagle]

I've got Walls Block, Ignore Defeated for both targeting settings.

[violet meadow]

I sent you my settings. Check if it works with mine

[scarlet gale]

Did that fix it? Also depending when you copied I noticed there was a small miscalculation on the heal in the item macro that has since been fixed.

[last loom]

okay, but the idea is that the effect is applied to the nearby tokens, even though it is not that effect, it is not being applied to the surrounding tokens

[vast bane]

@last loom Pro tip on figuring out DR and dr:

Damage resistance key is a system key with a lowercase .dr

Damage reduction is a midi key with a capital .DR

resistance halves

reduction reduces(or adds) to the value based on what you put in the field.

(and for nuanced advanced points, the dr.all key is a dae key I believe technically that parades as a system key)

[tranquil island]

yeah, the item macro was enlarging the token by a lot for some reason. the hp did not change when it was activated

[last loom]

Fixed now, still not applying to nearby

[vast bane]

damage the actor whose not showing it

[tranquil island]

i was using the atl attribute keys to enlarge the token's size

idk if that has to do with it

[scarlet gale]

Very likely, my item macro is hardcoded to change one of the keys.

[late fractal]

legend. Thanks bugbear, amazing as usual

[scarlet gale]

system.attributes.hp.max must be the 4th item down on the DAE.

[vast bane]

if it still doesn't work after testing damage dealt to the actor, show us every tab of the active effect.

and the items details tab

[last loom]

zanna does not have dr, and sefris, yes

[tranquil island]

ok, ill modify the order of things. should i have the atl size keys on the effect, like what was shown on the screenshot?

[vast bane]

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..

is that Wire guys?

[scarlet gale]

Only if you want the token to actually change size.

[tranquil island]

aight

[last loom]

Well, I don't know why the bonuses are not applied to Zanna

[scarlet gale]

I can tell you the line to change in the macro if you want to setup your effect keys differently.

[vast bane]

do you have any of the above modules installed?

what module is doing the red message

[violet meadow]

Also do you have proper grid for distances etc? You never know 😄

[last loom]

health monitor, it only shows the life that is subtracted from a token either manually or by midi

[vast bane]

show us every tab of the active effect ON the item on the actor that is the aura, then show us the details tab of that item

[last loom]

my grid config

[vast bane]

Also what version of active auras are you on

I wouldn't doubt it if kandashi's modules got hit by the version package thing thats hitting a bunch right now

[last loom]

0.5.6

[vast bane]

k then show us the 3 tabs of the items effect, and the details tab of the item

4 tabs

we wanna see the aura tab too

[tranquil island]

@scarlet gale changing the order did fix that issue, and the Max HP has been multiplied properly, but the current hp of the user did not increase to be proportional to the new value

[vast bane]

Just so we're not assuming, those are all starter heroes right?

[scarlet gale]

It should just double your current HP.

[last loom]

It is just an AE that is applied manually, there is no item in between

[scarlet gale]

What did it do for you?

[vast bane]

I...I don't think you can do an active aura as a ce...

I've never tried it now you got me curious

I'm pretty sure thats impossible

[scarlet gale]

I think you can.

[last loom]

yes and there are two bears below

[vast bane]

right click and edit the CE, show us all 4 tabs

right click it in that menu on the left side of your video

[tranquil island]

It increased the maximum hp, but did not raise the token's current hp to be proportional

idk if the token being slightly hurt messed with the function

[dark canopy]

do not modify current HP with an AE

[vast bane]

can't believe I never thought to try a ce as an active aura lol

[dark canopy]

(if that is what is being attempted)

[scarlet gale]

It's not.

Screenshot your AE for me just to verify.

[vast bane]

Starter heroes are yellow by default

[scarlet gale]

The item macro is applying a heal for the current HP after the max HP is being set.

the AE on the item

not after it's been applied

should be 0, the item macro will update that field

[tranquil island]

whoops, sorry bout that

i had the current and item effect open, sent the wrong one

[scarlet gale]

does the chat log show a midi damage update?

[tranquil island]

yes

[last loom]

I got them from here

[vast bane]

can you edit the convenient effect in the dfreds CE window and show us all four tabs of that effect?

[scarlet gale]

Could you screenshot it?

[vast bane]

your problem is 99% likely to be in those four tabs and you have yet to show us

[last loom]

CE is the action effect "Test"?

[tranquil island]

by midi damage update, you mean the dice increase correct?

or am i mistaken

[scarlet gale]

there should be a dialog box showing the token getting healed

[tranquil island]

Oh, shit

i found the issue

[scarlet gale]

Looks like this

[tranquil island]

that is on me

i have it so damage/healing is not auto applied

[scarlet gale]

oh

[tranquil island]

the healing prompt is right there, but it did not apply given i did not approve it

the macro works

im sorry about that

[scarlet gale]

all good

[vast bane]

give me a minute let me try to replicate this, but a dfreds CE as an active aura is...unique

[last loom]

okai

[scarlet gale]

Good to know that the midi apply damage function still prompts you

Instead of just doing it

[tranquil island]

yeah, glad it does. thank you again for this setup; the end effect macro works to make the temp hp, so everything is good to go

[vast bane]

in the aura tab, remove the ft in radius

If you edited the CE, then you need to reapply it for it to update on the actor, and dfreds CE can infact be auras /impressed

[last loom]

still not working 😦

[vast bane]

you probably haven't reapplied it?

I literally just replicated your setup and its working

[violet meadow]

export the Item and someone can take a look

[vast bane]

show us your active auras settings

[last loom]

yes i did

[vast bane]

its not an item

[violet meadow]

is it just the CE?

[vast bane]

its literally just a CE

[violet meadow]

works fine for me

[vast bane]

ok guys I got it

[last loom]

lol

[vast bane]

show us your aa settings

[vast bane]

disable all modules except libwrapper, socketlib, Dynamic Effects using Active Effects, Active Auras, and Advanced Macros

and test again

[last loom]

and dfreds?

[vast bane]

oh yep and dfreds

although if its on him it would work lol as a regular ae

[last loom]

I haven't this Advanced Macros

[vast bane]

its only required for template auras anyway you should be fine

[last loom]

oki

still not working

[vast bane]

https://media.giphy.com/media/bq6F8QYqBU7Yc/giphy.gif

[last loom]

xdddd....

[vast bane]

go to the compendium tab

DELETE the aura of protection thats ON the paladin
drag aura of protection out onto the paladin starter hero

[last loom]

I put a paladin on the field then?

[vast bane]

yeah

[last loom]

in which folder is that aura?

[vast bane]

What version numbers do you have for:

Foundry
Dnd5e
midiqol
dae
dfreds CE

[vast bane]

pretty sure compendium tab doesn't have folders

[vast bane]

unless you installed compendium folders

@violet meadow you were testing with 2.1.4 right?

[last loom]

oh there is a folder active auras

[vast bane]

honestly its a bad test cause that active auras compendium is a disaster

[last loom]

I put this and there is no change in the sheets

oh

[vast bane]

I give up, if someone else wants to go through it all again with you fine but at this point, It has to be something between you and the computer

either user error or the pc is screwy

what operating system is that?

[last loom]

windows 11

Does it apply to you things to nearby tokens just like I had?

I have to be away for a second, I'll read everything you answer and when I get back

[vast bane]

nah I'm givin up, nothing makes sense from what you've shown us, so you must have an issue with your foundry install or what we assume you are doing is not what you are actually doing.

Also FYI, while you CAN do dfreds CE with active auras, its not wise to. When you toggle off the aura, all of the tokens retain the aura effect

[vague relic]

Heyo, trying to figure out how to untarget a token during an On-Use macro's workflow. Got as far as copying to workflow to edit it, and I know which token in the array I want to untarget, but I don't know what to write to remove it from the list of targets

I'm basically just trying to remove the actor using the item from the list of hit targets, even if they're targeted

don't want them to hit themselves with it :P

[last loom]

One thing occurred to me, what if you export me an Item with a CE that has an Active Aura that works for you so I can put it on myself and see if it works for me?

[vague relic]

figured something out

const params = args[0];
const workflow = MidiQOL.Workflow.getWorkflow(params.uuid);
const sourceToken = canvas.tokens.get(params.tokenId);

let targets = canvas.tokens.placeables.filter((target) => {
    return target?.actor?.system?.attributes?.hp?.value > 0 && canvas.grid.measureDistance(sourceToken, target) <= 15 && target.document.disposition !== -1 && target !== sourceToken;
});
await game.user.updateTokenTargets(targets.map(t => t.id))
workflow.targets = Array.from(game.user.targets).map(t => t.id)

if anyone's curious

[dark canopy]

one thing to note -- canvas.grid.measureDistance (singular) will not follow your current grid rules (5/5/5 vs 5/10/5).

you may want to look at the script i put here -- #macro-polo message

using measureDistances (plural) and the second option argumennt

that function will return the "actual" grid-based distance between two tokens

[scarlet gale]

Midi also has a function for this as well

[vague relic]

where can I find that?

[scarlet gale]

Trying to find the function, I'm on mobile

#1010273821401555087 message

One of the functions that pops up should be one to measure I think

[kind cape]

MidiQOL.findNearby

[scarlet gale]

Maybe I'm crazy, I swear there is another

[kind cape]

* @param {number|null} disposition. same(1), opposite(-1), neutral(0), ignore(null) token disposition
* @param {Token} token The token to search around
* @param {number} distance in game units to consider near

Is the docs for that function

[vague relic]

MidiQOL.getDistance?

[scarlet gale]

That sounds right

[kind cape]

There is checkNearby as well

[scarlet gale]

Both have good uses

[vague relic]

working like a charm

[vague relic]

why would I use findNearby or checkNearby instead?

[kind cape]

let targets = MidiQOL.findNearby(1, sourceToken, 15).filter((target) => {
    return target?.actor?.system?.attributes?.hp?.value > 0;
});

[scarlet gale]

Say you want to find all tokens around a specific one

[kind cape]

This (should) also do the same thing

[vague relic]

I'm liking how much cleaner that is, thanks

[kind cape]

I'm still trying to understand what spell/effect you are trying to emulate in the first place 🤔

[vague relic]

from the Solar

[kind cape]

Oh.. You don't need a macro for that 😅

[vague relic]

I've had many homebrew creatures with explosions centered on self

[vague relic]

please elaborate lmao

[scarlet gale]

Range special

[kind cape]

Just set the target like this

Of course range whatever the range of it is

So 5 -> 15

[vague relic]

What is range special doing there?

[kind cape]

It makes it target everything except the creature itself

If instead you set it to any it would also hit itself, iirc

[vague relic]

what's the difference in choosing creature/enemy/ally/radius?

[kind cape]

Radius makes it a template
The rest is just disposition based

So creature = any disposition, enemy = opposite (/neutral) disposition, ally = same disposition

[vague relic]

hm, I have it set to 'Enemy,' but it's not targeted anything around it

neither neutral nor opposite disposition

[scarlet gale]

screenshot your setup?

[kind cape]

Hmm, what is your settings for ranged set to in MIDI?

You want this one set

(To anything except None)

[vague relic]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaah

that was it

thanks guys, was too lost in the macro sauce to think of a way to do this simply lol

[kind cape]

I've seen it a couple of times, the setting is not super obvious what it does, and it was even less obvious before the help text below got added 😅

[crude aspen]

This feels like a really dumb question at this point, but is there some simple setting to both
a) Allow automated rolls, late targeting etc.
b) Still allow items to roll and output to chat even if no targets are selected?

I feel like I had that working at some point, but as of now the only way I can get attacks, etc. to output to chat is if I select a valid target

[scarlet gale]

There is a setting to allow no targeting outside of combat

and presumably no targeting at all

check your midi settings

[crude aspen]

Hmm I'm somehow now more confused, I already have that set to never

[young owl]

not a rush, but just checking, was there supposed to have been an update recently pushed for DAE/midi? Thought Moto mentioned it a couple/few days ago

[coarse mesa]

Just to see if I could figure it out, I tried moving the radio to the left where it should be and also added an event listener so you can click anywhere on the row to select (not just the tiny radio dot)... here's the code if you're interested:

// Update dialog table
let trs = document.querySelector('.dialog-content').getElementsByTagName('tr');
for (let t of trs) {
    t.style.display = "flex";
    t.style.flexFlow = "row-reverse";
    t.style.alignItems = "center";
    t.style.justifyContent = "flex-end";
    t.addEventListener("click", function () {t.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].checked = true});
    }
let ths = document.querySelector('.dialog-content').getElementsByTagName('th');
for (let t of ths) {
    t.style.width = "auto";
    t.style.textAlign = "left";
    }
let tds = document.querySelector('.dialog-content').getElementsByTagName('td');
for (let t of tds) {
    t.style.width = "50px";
    t.style.textAlign = "center";
    t.style.paddingRight = "5px";
}

[scarlet gale]

Neat

[coarse mesa]

learning js is way more fun when you're cleaving 😅

[scarlet gale]

Legit surprised you did this lol

This function can be copied and pasted into the magical inspiration dialogue btw. It uses the same helper function.

[coarse mesa]

yeah @dark canopy will come through with a WG update and make it irrelevant but I like this kind of problem solving

[coarse mesa]

Awesome, I've accidentally helped myself then... will whack it on our bard

[scarlet gale]

Your for loops don't need a ; at the end by the way.

[coarse mesa]

thanks – I know they're optional in some cases so always use them out of paranoia

[scarlet gale]

Time get a proper code editor 😉

[coarse mesa]

I'm using Sublime... what should I be using?

[scarlet gale]

Mine actually yells at me when I have unnecessary semi-colons

I've been using vs code

And I have another module in foundry that gives it a somewhat proper editor

[coarse mesa]

Is that Whistler's one? I should get into that

[scarlet gale]

not sure

I need to double check the name, it does get a bit confused about using await outside of an async function

Since it doesn't appear to know it's already running async

[coarse mesa]

https://foundryvtt.com/packages/improved-macro-editor?

[violet meadow]

Monaco 😭

[scarlet gale]

Using Ace

I tried another one but the theme of it was bothering me too much

[coarse mesa]

I'll give Improved a go

[scarlet gale]

Just just needs to ping the token when you click on the image.

[coarse mesa]

OK lemme see about that... I've simplified a bit btw

that image border is bothering me anyway

[scarlet gale]

I was thinking the same thing

Let me know if you need help with the function to ping the token

the new warpgate notice function might be useful here

[vast bane]

thats what the paladin aura was. You got something wrong on your end.

[robust vault]

one question, i try to use the Protection from evil and good spell macro from https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros/blob/main/Spells/Protection From Evil And Good/Chris-ProtectionfromEvilandGood.js (how should I use it? no instructions... I have tried ItemMacro, but it doesn't seem to apply DA against undead, fiend, .....)

[scarlet gale]

It's a worldscript

I recommend using the worldscripter module.

[robust vault]

ahh ok, I don't have that module installed :D, no wonder it didn't work.

[scarlet gale]

if you go that route make sure to look at how the module functions

[robust vault]

what exactly does this module do?

[scarlet gale]

you drop the macro into it's compendium

then reload your page

It allows you to do worldscripts without messing with your world files

[vast bane]

Radius I believe counts from the center of the creature, and the other doesn't count the creatures space, think size of spiritguardians vs size of fireball circle. Enemy/ally/creature is choosing dispositions. if you have to use radius, I have a macro above here today that I put in so that friendlies would be ignored.

[scarlet gale]

But can't be used for stuff that requires an earlier hook

[vast bane]

its probably likely that you can change midi to off temporarily if you wanted. Its a clientside setting so anyone could toggle it for a sequence where you needed to run without targetting.

[vast bane]

I think my own version took a mulligan and used advantage reminder

[robust vault]

I couldn't use it, I use fast foward 😛

[vast bane]

Whatever you wind up using, make sure it doesn't apply dfreds CE, as I believe he has one for it.

[scarlet gale]

I changed my midi settings to use DAE effects over CE ones to avoid those kind of issues

[robust vault]

the only part I could not use is the advantage reminder.

[vast bane]

depending on if you actually apply an ae with your premade, theres a chance that dfreds still fires, like if its all in an item macro

[scarlet gale]

I embed all my effects

[violet meadow]

Yeah if one uses macros a lot, DAE prioritization will solve lots of headaches

[scarlet gale]

I only use CE for conditions

[vast bane]

does dfreds/midi know if the ae is in the item macro?

[scarlet gale]

No

[violet meadow]

I use my module for conditions 😁

[scarlet gale]

But an item macro would have to go out of it's way to apply a CE

[vast bane]

if the item rolls, and it has no dae attached, wouldn't midi think dfreds should apply?

[scarlet gale]

then yes

[vast bane]

Then that is what I was getting at 8)

[scarlet gale]

Midi has an option to use DAE first, then CE if there isn't a DAE

[vast bane]

yeah, but if your automation doesn't preplant the ae on the item as its rolling, I think midi would accidentally think the dfreds is needed

Either way I'm super paranoid and check the boxes anyway in all mine

[scarlet gale]

I suppose so, but I can't think of a single spell where I wanted no DAE but CE has one with the same name.

[violet meadow]

Enlarge reduce

[scarlet gale]

oh interesting

[violet meadow]

Was there faerie fire too or I misremember?

[scarlet gale]

Yea that one has one

[vast bane]

I dunno but I use midi srd's faerie fire

[scarlet gale]

I use the ddb importer as a base and it takes care of the basic spells like those

[vast bane]

its also an easy way to recreate the ATE wildcard bug

faerie fire and enlarge/reduce in dfreds

[last loom]

Could you (if it's not too much trouble) make me a video recording of what the passive would look like at work granting the bonuses to those nearby? To know if I'm doing something, or if I'm missing something to configure.

[vast bane]

I can't share you an item because I'm not beta testing 2.1.4

[last loom]

okai

[vast bane]

if someone on 2.1.4 wants to give them the aura of protection they have they could try it again, but they already couldn't use the active auras compendium item either

(but the active auras compendium is kinda broken so that was a bad test)

I also couldn't suggest midi sample items because only spirit guardians works for auras, the pally one is broken

[last loom]

Oh...

[vast bane]

also like I said before, you do not want to use dfreds CE's for active auras, the toggling off causes the aura to persist on the tokens as they no longer have an origin point to know they have left the range.

Generally speaking I think its wise to attach all ae's to a source item, ae's without an item/origin seem sloppy to me, but thats probably an aesthetic thing.

[dark canopy]

i think the only thing i'd suggest is to slap this into the render callback for menu 🙂

[vast bane]

That'd be cool if you get the ping to work pre selection, then we won't have to reference token names in the dialog anymore

I'm a fan of not force spoiling names

[dark canopy]

is that directed at me?

[vast bane]

actuall Chris and Lukas but both are hard to ping lol

[coarse mesa]

It already is 🙂

[dark canopy]

oh, excellent 🧠 , i think the use of document rather than the passed in html is what threw me

[coarse mesa]

I know how to use the Anonymous API to not spoil but I'm not a CUB user

[coarse mesa]

That would be better, in the extreme case someone has two dialogs up

[frosty veldt]

Hi All, I have a question that also involves Active Aura and DAE.
It seems when I place the spell template with a effect (Silence).
The effect is actually applied twice? Did I mess up somewhere?

[vast bane]

you need to check activation checkbox on item details and put the world false in activation condition

the problem in this case is that midi should not be used at all, and to pull that off, you cause a false activation

you want active auras thing to fire not midi's

otherwise everyone becomes an aura

(You also need advanced macros installed, but we believe purely because nobody has rewritten the aa helpers item macro to ignore it)

[frosty veldt]

Sorry newbie question, how do I "put the world false in activation condition" ? Is it in the config?

Never mind I am just very blind. It is in the item card

[coarse mesa]

@scarlet gale
this is working:

// Update dialog table
let trs = document.querySelector('.dialog-content').getElementsByTagName('tr');
for (let t of trs) {
    t.style.display = "flex";
    t.style.flexFlow = "row-reverse";
    t.style.alignItems = "center";
    t.style.justifyContent = "flex-end";
    t.addEventListener("click", function () {t.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].checked = true});
    }
let ths = document.querySelector('.dialog-content').getElementsByTagName('th');
for (let t of ths) {
    t.style.width = "auto";
    t.style.textAlign = "left";
    }
let tds = document.querySelector('.dialog-content').getElementsByTagName('td');
for (let t of tds) {
    t.style.width = "50px";
    t.style.textAlign = "center";
    t.style.paddingRight = "5px";
    }
let imgs = document.querySelector('.dialog-content').getElementsByTagName('img');
for (let i of imgs) {
    i.style.border = "none";
    i.addEventListener("click", async function () {
        await canvas.ping(canvas.tokens.get(i.getAttribute("id")).document.object.center);
        });
    i.addEventListener("mouseover", function () {
        token = canvas.tokens.get(i.getAttribute("id"));
        token.hover = true;
        token.refresh();
        });          
    i.addEventListener("mouseout", function () {
        token = canvas.tokens.get(i.getAttribute("id"));
        token.hover = false;
        token.refresh();
        });       
    }

I added an id to the image in the menu options so it pings the right token:

           let html = `<img src="` + texture + `" id="`+ i.id +`" style="width:40px;height:40px;vertical-align:middle;"><span> ` + name + `</span>`;

@dark canopy I wasn't sure how to ditch the document for html – tried a couple of variations but they didn't take

looks a lot better without the image border

[vast bane]

does it ping the token before choosing?

[coarse mesa]

It pings when you click on the token image above ☝️

I don't see how you can ping before choosing

[vast bane]

so if they click the image it pings?

[coarse mesa]

yeah I guess so you can tell which one on the canvas it is without having to cross reference

ping might be a bit obnoxious – putting the token in the hover state might be better (like when you hover a combat tracker row)... but that's what Chris wanted

[scarlet gale]

I'll mess with converting it to a warpgate alert when I'm home.

Plus do the html thing that was mentioned

[frosty veldt]

Hi I have a question I am even a bit embarrassed to ask: Where is the elusive Midiqol Macro Compendium located? (I just want some examples)

[scarlet gale]

Pretty sure you just need to pass in the html variable.

[vast bane]

We've been told we can't have a sticky for it but here ya go:

Midi SRD fork that is v10 compliant:
https://github.com/thatlonelybugbear/midi-srd/blob/master/module.json

Chris' github full of his premades:
https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros

Mr.Primates github macros and more:
https://github.com/MrPrimate/ddb-importer/tree/main/macros

You can also search this discord for various things names and likely find a midiqol premade for it.

And finally ask if you can't find what you are looking for.

Oh one more:
https://foundryvtt.com/packages/more-automated-spells-items-and-feats

[coarse mesa]

Have updated the above so it highlights token when you mouseover and pings on click... if you do update your macro you'll need to add that id to the img and yeah pass in the html if you want

[scarlet gale]

Did you see where I moved your function to in my last revision that included your stuff?

It doesn't need to be all the way up in the main function.

[frosty veldt]

By Azuth you are amazing! I will see what I can find in this dragon's hoard

[scarlet gale]

My stuff in there is lacking good documentation, but ping me if you have a question how something is setup.

[vast bane]

When in doubt ask us, theres a bunch of modules that are required for some premades that nobody really talks about mainly cause its a faux pas to suggest modules before one needs them

[coarse mesa]

Yeah I just checked that out – now I see what you're doing with the chris functions

[scarlet gale]

It's like that because on my own setup it's buried away in a world script.

[coarse mesa]

yeah that's smart, making reusable components

[vast bane]

thats basically the premise of midi srd isn't it?

[scarlet gale]

It does the same thing essentially

If my stuff was a module I'd do the same

[vast bane]

in a way same idea as dfreds CE too, centralizing the moving part so that its just one place you need to tweak

except that we're discovering with midi srd that theres still the isssue where the items sometimes need to be patched with new settings hehe

[scarlet gale]

I mostly make non srd stuff so that will never happen

[vast bane]

has anyone come up with a use case for the offhand checkbox?

[scarlet gale]

For when you swap weapon hands

And don't want to mess with the damage

[vast bane]

but then it'd be permenantly offhand

wouldn't it just be wiser to versatile them since a versatile weapon usually can't be dual wielded?

[scarlet gale]

I'd trust a player to check that box then know how to fix a damage roll

[vast bane]

I already replaced the empty versatiles with the offhand formulas for the light weapons hehe

[scarlet gale]

Pretty sure my players don't know the details tab exists

[vast bane]

My players do cause they abuse the heck out of melvins and make new images for all their items lol

though thats not necessarily the details tab

[frosty veldt]

My players only commented: I like this better then roll20, why didn't we use this from the beginning?

[scarlet gale]

More obscure and not officially partnered with wotc

[frosty veldt]

and the DM must enjoy DnD and Javascript at the same time

[scarlet gale]

Only for high automation

[frosty veldt]

That is true. But for sure it saves me a lot of time

[scarlet gale]

I started on foundry not knowing any JavaScript

Only messed with Lua before this

[royal dragon]

lol, "enjoy" javascript. One of my least favorite languages

[vast bane]

My least favorite language is Thieves Cant

[coarse mesa]

Anyone ever used Druidic?

[vast bane]

I'm using it on the fifth floor of ||dotmm||

[coarse mesa]

You’ve been on level 5 for months!

[vast bane]

nope

they haven't even gotten there yet

I dunno about other folks running that module, but my group is in real time 24/7 in session and its taking FOREVER. Its about 4-5 six hour sessions per floor

they just arrived on floor 4 via the portal on 2

I am using the companion+homebrew+published book so theres alot of RP sidetracking

[scarlet gale]

Wish my dotmm game sidetracked that much

Would make prep a breeze for the gm

[vast bane]

the key is to overprep the floor lol

are you running the companion?

[scarlet gale]

I was a player at the time

[vast bane]

2 sessions ago was 4 hours of shopping

[coarse mesa]

We got sidetracked with Demon Queen Awakens and now we’re totally sidetracked with new characters for A House Divided… still messing in Skullport in our original campaign, which we’ll go back to in a year or so

[vast bane]

I really want the faction window from house divided 😦

[coarse mesa]

Once you get a taste for native Foundry adventures it’s hard to look back 😅

[vast bane]

I'm lovin the supplemmental content for the published stuff, I think the dotmm companion is the best book i've ever purchased

[coarse mesa]

Seems like the kind of mini module Xaukael would have whipped up in a jiffy

[vast bane]

I dunno if its possible since its in a paid module

[coarse mesa]

I really like how RSR shows the actual dice number on the right of the total… wonder if this can be shoehorned into the midi merged card somehow 🤔

[vast bane]

Dice So Nice 0_0

Post an issue to midi, I'm sure he'd take a look, even easier if you can PR it

wait, this might actually be already in it

can you pull it off with the tooltip settings?

I don't a functional tooltip with the tooltip setting lol, so either I don't know what a tooltip is or I got a module conflict

[ivory iris]

Is there a way to roll attacks when no tokens are on the board (theater of the mind)?

I've tried so many settings but nothing is having an attack show up

[vast bane]

Don't require targets setup, and also I think this setting matters:

You could also turn off roll automation temporarily but its a client side setting

[crude aspen]

Isolated the issue, seems checking the "roll a separate attack per target" box means that when you have zero targets, it rolls zero attacks

(Context for those who didn't see, MIDI setting should have been letting rolls be made without targets, but nothing was actually being rolled)

[ivory iris]

This fixed it

[crude aspen]

Oh lol @ivory iris I didn't even realize you were asking about this too

[ivory iris]

Lmao. Thank you tho! Have a TOTM fight planned for session 1 tmw so this helped a ton

[crude aspen]

I was having this issue last week and was trying to fix it today

No problem haha, gonna go submit an actual issue report now

[dark canopy]

if you wanted to get real clever -- create multiple crosshairs with locked positions using a different fill color, then use that same color in the dialog 😏

[subtle whale]

Hey guys, is it possible with midi to have a weapon, in this instance it's a Charge attack my player has, that when it hits causes a Monk's Token Bar contested Ath/Acro check and have the loser have the DF Convenient effects prone?

[vast bane]

Item On use, requires dfreds, MTB, maybe advanced macros. Also its technically shield bash so it offers either prone or move 5 ft.

I think bugbear has a better version, I'm lazy at updating things

[subtle whale]

What's MTB?

Oh

Nvm

[subtle whale]

I got this when I tried to use it

[gilded yacht]

can you DM me the item and I'll have a look.

[gilded yacht]

If you apply the potion to someone else the itemMacro should still fire correctly.

[vast bane]

did you leave in the discord codes at the top and bottom?

[subtle whale]

Ah I did not know those bits aren't a part of this, sort of clueless with macros

[vast bane]

```js at line 1 remove
``` at the bottom remove, sorry i don't know how to make a clean text link

You also need to make sure that the setting for "players can request" is turned on in Monks tokenbar

oh duh, it also requires warpgate

(and jb2a animations)

[subtle whale]

Yep! That fixed it, luckily I also already have that one enabled

[vast bane]

prolly free is fine

oh and sequencer, wow our premades always require alot of modules lol

Already got that one too 🥲 my module list is monstrous

One last thing, I have a shield that applies +3 to AC to some allies as well as giving the wielder 25 temp hit-points. Problem is, when I click the item it auto-applies that effect I configured to the wielder who shouldn't get the AC boost

When I click the "healing" button that is, not when I click the item

[vast bane]

you will have to do that with a macro

though I wonder if you have abnormal midi settings or are using two rollers just from what you said

If I was forced to make that item, I'd make it two items and have one item rol lthe second one with late targetting turned on

[subtle whale]

it's these settings that seem to be causing me grief, because it's easy to just have it manual but that breaks a bunch of other automated items

[vast bane]

or make it just the shield ac item, and then an on use macro that updates the source actors temphp on item use

[vast bane]

why would you have a healing button in chat?

thats the abnormal thing to me

but lets stop beating around the bush:

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...

[subtle whale]

I don't have any of those

[vast bane]

then you didn't have a target when you rolled the item?

[subtle whale]

Putting this in the item gives me the Healing button in chat

It's set to self

for the target

[vast bane]

is a healing item an attack roll guys?

[subtle whale]

I'm confused 😅 should it not be configured that way

[vast bane]

You must have the top checkbox unchecked, which is fine, just weird:

I'm not a fan of fast forward, but I atleast auto roll lol

[subtle whale]

Oh I and my players prefer it off so that they can add anything circumstantial that i haven't spent time automating

We run with a decent whack of homebrew so it's hard to go about configuring each little thing

[vast bane]

I would make the item the ac buff instead, and then get an on use macro to heal the source actor for the temp hp

[vast bane]

auto roll attack is not fast forward, its getting rid of the really redundant card with the buttons in it in chat

if one rolls the item, tthey don't need to confirm rolling the item again in chat imo. Thats why virtually every roller module adds this feature in.

[subtle whale]

Ooooh i was unaware of that, I just turned it off on install and never thought about it

I interpreted what that did wrong my bad

[vast bane]

its ok, was just pointing it out

I don't know how to write your macro for you though, and #macro-polo won't' want to help with a midi on use, I can say if you change it to an effect macro you might be able to sneak it into #macro-polo

I'm guessing you'd have to use the origin or source code from effect macros api to pull the source actor and update its temphp

[dark canopy]

its not about sneaking 😩 we just have no idea what any of the args and workflow calls mean

[vast bane]

For Item Macro you'd have to define the args of the source actor and then update its temp hp

the macro would be basically

Define the actors temp hp data path
Add 25 temp hp to it.

Since its always going to be an owned token, you can sneak this in as an effect macro

(I'm being silly with the sneaking badger)

[dark canopy]

hehe, and not wrong -- if you know where to get the root data, #macro-polo knows the api inside out to get that data to where it should be

that's usually the main issue, getting that root data

(for anyone, not just midi users)

[vast bane]

I think you might be able to plagerize stuff already made, the first thing that comes to mind is one of chris' lifetap macros like vampiric touch I think

[coarse mesa]

I’m just imagining the midi family of modules sneaking into #macro-polo in a big trenchcoat

[vast bane]

Bugbear, Chris, and Fotoply in a trenchcoat?

Now I gotta find a photoshop for this...

oh duh, an item that macros in temp hp, I just made this

let damage = 25;
if (damage != 0) {
    let sourceToken = args[0].workflow.token.document;
    await MidiQOL.applyTokenDamage([{damage: damage, type: 'temphp' }], damage, new Set([sourceToken]), null, null);
}

[coarse mesa]

They’ll be keeping a sharp eye out for the long furry arms

[vast bane]

only on bugbears turn

anyone want to check my macro?

oh wait we don't want to check targets

get rid of line 1

could he just use line 3 and 4?

and instead of let have it be const?

also its worth pointing out since you had really abnormal settings, I'm not sure if applyTokenDamage will work if you have damage off

one of the gurus will chime in and correct me eventually i bet

[subtle whale]

Well I put that in to the item as an on use after active effects and it seems to work?

[vast bane]

it should put a midi whispered damage dialog in chat adding the temp hp

[subtle whale]

It does indeed

[vast bane]

so depending on your settings it could be that only you see it. I have a asetting on that shows the players a public version of that card too, but the Dm can't see that card, you only know its on if you look at workflow button/workflow tab/damage and see the first drop down setting to yes/no + damage card

(or log a player in along side yourself and watch their chat

[subtle whale]

I believe mine is set so that only i can see it currently

Where would be the best place to learn to write my own macros should I want to?

[vast bane]

I just kind aplagerize and learned by doing

#macro-polo could give you advice on learning js, but you have to kinda learn the api's of all the various modules, item macro, midi, effect macro, dfreds ce, warpgate

but honestly copying already existing stuff gets you pretty far, I'm a total newb and came up with your macro for you

Can I use Advanced macros on a player account to execute a macro as another player?

The macro i want it to do is simply "Roll your hit dice and heal yourself"

[white turtle]

this might be me just completely dropping the ball, but I can't seem to get a spell effect to actually apply, I'm trying to get pass without trace to apply an effect when the spell is used on the person who used it (and hopefully aura if I can just get it working for the one person), the effect just... doesn't activate when the spell is used, even when I click the apply effect button in chat

nevermind it's me completely dropping the ball i'm so sorry

[vast bane]

I actually don't think that spell is an aura but its your call if you want to call it that, either way if you don't go the aura route, if its an instant pulse buff, then you can just make a blank pass without a trace spell that targets All allies within range, and then left midi+defreds handle it since dfred also doesn't call it an aura and has it already made.

If you go the aura route, just drag dfreds ce for it onto the spell the druid/ranger has, so it adds to the item as an effect. Then use active auras(you might be able to babonus this)

[white turtle]

man, been playing for 3 years and this is the first time I realize it isn't actually an aura, world shattered

[vast bane]

I think its loose enough in wording that either way could be interpreted

(but a pulse is easier to automate in foundry hehe)

[white turtle]

haha

thank you, I'll try it out

[vast bane]

it is a roll mod, so I bet you someone with babonus will chime in saying how to set it up, I have yet to figure out how to get babonus to work with midi automation

[vast bane]

@violet meadow
Animate Dead in midi srd is misbehaving pretty weirdly. it also throws errors due to having sanity enabled and you are pulling from a locked compendium. Might I suggest if you do revisit this, just doing a simple warpgate summons like spiritual weapon, and don't try to pull from a compendium?

[dark canopy]

that is a dnd5e 2.0.x bug

the updating a locked compendium

[vast bane]

Oh did that get patched in 2.1.x?

Nice!

its only a side problem though, the main issue with midi srds animate dead is that the token has no image and its called "MidiSRD" lol

but the sheet is very definitely the zombie from dnd5e's compendium

I just created my own:

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

In my world skeletons don't exist -_-

[dark canopy]

https://github.com/kandashi/midi-srd/blob/master/scripts/MidiSRD-macros.js#L215-L219 is outdated

so its not getting proper token data

[vast bane]

oooh but I see a good lookin dialogue that I might steal

[royal dragon]

No skeletons? Everyone is ooze?

[vast bane]

Its my way of saying I can't do warpgate dialogs lol so everyone gets zombies

[royal dragon]

Hmm, maybe two versions of the spell would be easier than a dialog

But that dragon's breath I was wrestling with was an example of a warpgate dialog

[vast bane]

I think I'm using chris or mr primates dragon breath

[dark canopy]

https://github.com/trioderegion/warpgate/wiki/Basic-Menu a decent template

[vast bane]

Man I'm having a devil of a time converting the dialog from midi srd to work with my simple zombie spawn macro

const buttonData = {
            buttons: [{
                label: 'Zombie',
                value: {
                    actor: { name: "Zombie" },
                }
            }, {
                label: 'Skeleton',
                value: {
                    actor: { name: "Skeleton" },
                }
            }
            ], title: 'Which type of Undead?'
        };
let dialog = await warpgate.buttonDialog(buttonData);
const [spawn] = await warpgate.spawn(buttonData);
new Sequence().effect().file("jb2a.misty_step.01.blue").atLocation(spawn).play()
new Sequence().effect().file("jb2a.misty_step.01.blue").atLocation(spawn).play()

Hows this?
