MidiQOL

[molten solar]

It does not, no.

[coarse mesa]

ah sorry

[vast bane]

If effect.duration = 0, return?

[royal dragon]

==

[vast bane]

actually I dont' trust my laggy server, can I do less than or equal to 0?

I know for fact ae's can go negative durations does the macro know this?

[kind cape]

<=

[molten solar]

effect.duration.remaining <= 0

.seconds? 🤔 fuck if I know, log it

[soft basalt]

I'm trying to set up a spell with a wisdom save. On a successful save it should apply half damage. I have the following -- how do I make midi apply half damage when the save is successful?

[royal dragon]

There should be a check box at the bottom that says Half damage save. If you aren'y doing anything more complicated than that it should work

[vast bane]

check box at the bottom

[soft basalt]

Half Dam Save -- got it! Thank you.

[vast bane]

"Half Dam Save"

its a fitting short name cause we all forget to check it and go there and check that damn save

[vast bane]

I didn't do seconds and it worked, I expired it by duration by changing its duration to 6 seconds and advancing the seconds till it poofed and the hp value didn't drop to 1

[scarlet gale]

If you have the effect getting removed at 0 hp with DAE, just do a small sleep then check hp

[vast bane]

yeah that was my other idea

just wait a lil bit

[scarlet gale]

It's probably DAE removing the effect before midi sets the hp.

[vast bane]

I assumed it was a times up special duration

[scarlet gale]

I think it's just an order of how it's operating

[vast bane]

doh I edited the wrong damned death ward

ok the duration check didn't work, I gottta try seconds now

[scarlet gale]

await warpgate.wait(100)

Checking the duration remaining can get weird if you're in combat.

[vast bane]

thats just it though

we're trying to stop the natural duration ending from dropping them to 1

thats never going to be in combat

[scarlet gale]

Yea

That's what the hp check is for

[vast bane]

I dunno how to log out the duration to get the right syntax

[scarlet gale]

Wait then do the hp check

[vast bane]

k

await at the beginning

[scarlet gale]

Then check for 0 hp

Then do the update if so

[vast bane]

the wait works checking expiration now

Perfect

and the consol log for hp count said 0 when it fired

[scarlet gale]

Yea cause it gave time for the gm to do the hp change

I'm guessing it's related to damage application being done via socket stuff

While the effect removal likely isn't

Or just an order of operations

[violet meadow]

The issue is that you will need to not go down to 0 at any point, cause many things will drop, like concentration, other effects ttc

[scarlet gale]

I don't do auto concentration removal personally

It does the save, but has to be manually removed

Far too many times a player will use a reaction to change the outcome

[vast bane]

yeah I don't auto remove conc

for the same reason chris doesn't, too many mistakes happen in combat

[violet meadow]

At 0 hp, other effects might be deleted too based on MidiQOL settings or DFreds 🤷

[vast bane]

I like being the final arbitor of concentration drops

[scarlet gale]

Yea

[violet meadow]

Just keep it in mind

[scarlet gale]

I'm considering making a world script to change the damage application

[vast bane]

It sounds to me like you wanna write the midi version bugbear 8)

[scarlet gale]

So avoid ever actually going to 0

The problem is how to catch macros that directly apply damage

[vast bane]

or a manual reduction

[scarlet gale]

Actor update hook might be the way

Never messed with that however

[molten solar]

A manual adjustment would have no relevant options passed to the hook. Any scripted change to the hp, however, can.

You would need to check for that.

[scarlet gale]

I wouldn't worry about a manual update of hp anyway. Ideally that should never happen in a midi environment.

[vast bane]

oh it happens all the time

[scarlet gale]

Could always have the fallback effect macro for that I gues

[vast bane]

Midi breaks plenty

[scarlet gale]

Not for me

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vast bane]

or someone didn't click crit so they manualy roll their extra dice

[scarlet gale]

Not an issue when you fast forward lol

[vast bane]

Oh I forgot to click the fiend checkbox for that smite

[scarlet gale]

Zhell 🥲

[vast bane]

I'm fine with this death ward, I can't even think of something that would get screwed up by a momentary 0 hp

[scarlet gale]

My smite auto detects fiends

[molten solar]

babonus, item-only bonus on the smite feature, +1d8[radiant] against specific creature types

[vast bane]

my smite is an advantage reminder cause I want it all in one workflow

without an always prompt

[coarse mesa]

I was discussing this with Whistler – the reason he won't go full auto with WIRE is this exact thing, all that happens when you hit 0hp. If you went auto but the GM could still step in and authorise a 0hp/dead/downed before it takes effect that would be a lot safer

[vast bane]

although, that was when I was auto removing conc

now I don't care so I could use the midi item now

[scarlet gale]

Either way if it can't be caught with the hook it doesn't matter

Can do the hook and the backup method of an effect macro

[molten solar]

if they decided to go 'full auto', they might as well just delete the module and use midi and have someone else do the work anyhow.
let them do their own thing

[scarlet gale]

Yea

Wire doesn't need to be a midi replacement. It's a good middle ground option

[coarse mesa]

I don't disagree... but there is a ton of automation in WIRE... did you see how easily he implemented damage on forced entry of AoEs? No reliance on AA

[violet meadow]

Hooks.on("updateActor",(...args)=> {
    if (!args[0].effects.find(eff=>eff.label ==="Orcish whatnot") return;
    if (args[1].system.attributes.hp.value === 0) foundry.utils.setProperty(args[1],"system.attributes.hp.value",1)
})

🤔

[scarlet gale]

I would also delete the effect as well

[violet meadow]

Or disable

[molten solar]

You would do that in the "post" hook

[scarlet gale]

For death ward at least

[vast bane]

and have it set to roll itself back on at long rest via effect macro

origin.use()

[violet meadow]

Yeah I was thinking of returning false at first

but no need I think

[molten solar]

don't do that, there could be other relevant updates that should still happen

[vast bane]

effect macro has a long rest hook for Orc hp 1 thing

[molten solar]

Sidenote: a disabled EM does not call its scripts.

[scarlet gale]

I've been using template macros for that lol

Avoiding AA like crazy

Attach the template to the token and call it a day

[vast bane]

I really don't have an issue with aa

[scarlet gale]

My Australian player make AA cry

[vast bane]

only real issue I got now is the ATE wildcard bug

[scarlet gale]

It's always so buggy when high ping players get involved

[vast bane]

my players are texas, tennessee, Minesota, and New England

Host is smack dab in the middle

[molten solar]

So all across the globe, huh

[molten solar]

I presume it sockets a lot.

[vast bane]

I think 2 gm accounts really screw with AA

[scarlet gale]

AA picks one gm

V9 had buggy gm picking

[vast bane]

oh one thing I noticed of late is that random players load without some modules

sometimes its midi, other times its been tidy

they just flat aren't installed

[molten solar]

Just those two?

[scarlet gale]

I can only assume a weird script blocker

[vast bane]

we have no way of knowing if anyones loaded witha missing module

midi is obvious cause they go to attack

tidy was obvious cause the player wined that their sheet was not dark

I changed their sheet for them, and they still said it was white

thats when they snippeted and I saw it had no tidy

[scarlet gale]

Very strange

[vast bane]

I suppose the module count in settings tab could be a way to ensure everyone has them right?

[molten solar]

If it's only those modules, and not a randomly selected module, then the issue is there.

[vast bane]

pretty sure its been a few others I just can't remember the names

[molten solar]

Some random variable not set properly or something.

[coarse mesa]

parental blockers... illicit content

[vast bane]

oh monks tokenbar was another

[dark canopy]

its almost 100% the same reason your players dont see walls or fog properly

[coarse mesa]

that's so strange, and stressful

[vast bane]

hmmm I dunno the last one who had MTB not running is one of the nice players who doesn't have strange beliefs in obscure no name popup blocker extensions

this next session I'm gonna have them all tell me how many modules they see in the settings tab count

[dark canopy]

until that whole crew is running on actually clean browsers, its really not worth wasting time 😅

[vast bane]

We even got the anti chrome user to run chrome just for the session

[dark canopy]

as long as its a clean browser, and halfway decent connections, i cannot think of a reason scripts would not be downloaded

[vast bane]

I think its my server though, the thing is just so bogged down, I need to upgrade its ram, frikkin windows 12 bloat

[stuck eagle]

[midi-srd] Metadata validation failed for module "midi-srd": The file "scripts/midiSRD-styles.css" included by module midi-srd does not exist
#logPackageWarnings @ setup.js:141
I'm sure this has been addressed, but is there a fix for this?

[vast bane]

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

I never remember which link works

[stuck eagle]

So I need to replace the malfuntioning JSON?

[vast bane]

midi srd's officially published version is v9 or lower

bugbear fixed its json so it installs in v10 but you have to manually install it by pasting the link into the bottom field in addons

if the first link doesn't work for the manual install field use the second

[stuck eagle]

The raw url is the one that works.

[vast bane]

I dunno, think theres like a browser out there that likes the other link for some reason

sometimes people say the raw doesn't work

raw is what I use /shrug

could also just be user error

[coarse mesa]

If only we could pin it in this thread 👀

[scarlet gale]

Been discussed

[coarse mesa]

I was there

[vast bane]

nah, Bugbear knows how to get it fixed, he doesn't wanna be tied to the module, I don't blame him its not his work. he's doing us a courtesy

[molten solar]

https://tenor.com/view/rick-astley-rules-you-know-the-rules-follow-the-rules-break-the-rules-gif-19929342

[vast bane]

plus I'm pretty sure about atleast 10% of Midi SRD is still not fixed for v10, we just haven't found them all yet

theres a bunch of it thats not setup to be funnedl through the midi macros

[stuck eagle]

So after I install via the manifest link, I shouldn't allow updates to MIdiSRD?

[scarlet gale]

As long as you trust bugbear not to break anything

[vast bane]

that sounds like a forge thing but honestly, imo, don't jam that update button unless you got a strong reason to, and that goes for all of them, any update, don't do it unless you are being forced to. Stability>all

[stuck eagle]

What about Tim's update to Midi today?

[vast bane]

I trust Bugbear!

[vast bane]

Someone reported an issue earlier, no idea whats going on with it

I'm personally on 10.0.23, but I was fortunate enough to stay on 2.0.3 dnd5e

[scarlet gale]

Think it would be crazy to ask for the midi apply damage function to call a hook?

[coarse mesa]

then let Bugbear take the wheel

[molten solar]

What hook?

[vast bane]

I gotta do a meme with chris, bugbear, fotoply, and Mrprimate at some point

[violet meadow]

👉 Hooks.on("midi-qol.damageApplied", (workflow)) 👈 🤌

[scarlet gale]

Or have a hook

Whatever it's called

[vast bane]

I was thinkin of doing a voltron meme, but I can't find one with lance instead of alura lol

[coarse mesa]

Wolfe was sneaking into that group but has been quiet lately... their Starry Form is perfection

[violet meadow]

If nothing centralised for MidiQOL stuff comes out soonish I will ask around about MidiSRD

I have gone through half of the premade Items remaking them for v10

[scarlet gale]

I need to figure out a way to automate exporting stuff from my automation compendium to my GitHub. (That would also strip out descriptions)

[violet meadow]

When I finish I will create a PR and see how that goes

[scarlet gale]

That's not called for the exported midi apply token damage function iirc

Need something that's not necessarily part of a workflow

[violet meadow]

Is it not called when damage is applied? Don't remember now

[scarlet gale]

I don't think it is.

[vast bane]

@edgy trellis check your controls, maybe O is set to something else

I can't remember if this is default or not

I'm starting to think its not

[edgy trellis]

It was not set up but that did the trick!

[vast bane]

yeah I think its originally default O for other formula but I don't see a reason for that since midi automates other

so I moved it to the override

[edgy trellis]

Thanks! I think I'll just change the ranges for that 1 character and utilize the "O" key for all others if the situation arises.

[vast bane]

I have a barbarian and a paladin so I just rmeoved theirs really

just to make the op attacks less tedious

anotehr pro tip for things like that, I also made the help action ranged

[violet meadow]

@scarlet gale

[vast bane]

so that the damned owl doesn't have to micro manage its movement on its simple turn

[coarse mesa]

I don't even have a help action...

[vast bane]

Like the things turn is basically help action

oh get it, its in MASIF

its basicaly advantage all

minus saves

[coarse mesa]

yeah could just make a CE for that

[vast bane]

the MASIF one is allies, you can also get one that does the hostiles

depends on how you read the ruling on help action

I don't really care much either way so my players decided it should go on the ally instead of the next attack on the bad guy

So the owl constantly tag teams with the paladin for some rp

[scarlet gale]

Oh interesting

[edgy trellis]

What is MASIF?

[vast bane]

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

Hes not very active on discord here but his stuff is legit man

The stuff I was doing earlier with circle of mortality came out of his item

and if you have a battlemaster, that module is your jam

its so slick I even turned a few npcs into battlemasters just to use it

[edgy trellis]

https://tenor.com/view/interesting-batman-very-interesting-thinking-gif-16421084

[edgy trellis]

I'll have to check it out. The spell I am struggling with right now is Booming Blade, does he have anything on that?

[coarse mesa]

I can attest that Mr Primate's BB works great

[vast bane]

I dodged a bullet with both booming and GFB, my wizard player thinks they are dumb so he went with chill touch and shocking grasp instead

I don't share his opinion lol

[vast bane]

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

woops

[edgy trellis]

Do you mind giving me some advice on how to set it up? I am a big dummy when it comes to macros

[vast bane]

how do you have a different url than me lol

[coarse mesa]

Yeah yours was cleaner

[vast bane]

it looks like the macro is an item on use macro

do you have item macro installed?

[edgy trellis]

Item Macro is installed

[vast bane]

You get how to set it up? You need item macro, but if you are installing item macro fresh, you have to disable character sheet hooks in its settings

once you do that, copy and paste his macro word for word right into the item macro button at the top bar

and then look at lukas' image he has ItemMacro at the bottom of the details tab for an on use macro

[coarse mesa]

That screen shot is directly from DDB importer, so it's how it's expected to be set up

[vast bane]

I bet you, you could pull it off with times up and effect macro too

[coarse mesa]

it's the trigger on move thing that's the clever part

[vast bane]

theres a has moved special duration

[coarse mesa]

oh, quite possible then

[vast bane]

but why reinvent the wheel if Mr.primate carved a path for us

oh I dunno if efffect macro has it, but times up adds one into dae

[edgy trellis]

This was the step I was missing.

[edgy trellis]

It looks to be working now. This is pretty slick!

[coarse mesa]

especially with the lightning fx

[edgy trellis]

Should probably add Dfreds CE to the list

I use the active auras Silence fwiw too

Set this special duration and then put a midi workflow in the effects on deletion macro to apply damage

[edgy trellis]

Are all these set up for version 10?

[vast bane]

midi srd's official branch is v9 only, the one I linked is bugbears special v10 branch that works

as for the macros, I can't speak for them all, but I have to believe that the 3 of them have updated their stuff for v10

its not hard to v10ify them though so if you catch any that aren't working just share here and one of us will fix it

[coral dove]

Not sure if I'm using this correctly since it rolls NaN

[edgy trellis]

How do people handle upcasting spells that grant additional targets? Specifically bane

[limber violet]

I'm sorry to bring up Hex again today, but I'm using @scarlet gale macros and I have to use Hex, then immediately use Hex-Move to bring it over to target get the bonus damage to work (I'm also not seeing disadvantage trigger). Are there specific MidiQOL settings I need to have enabled?

[sleek pulsar]

I'm having a weird problem with MidiQoL. Turned on, I can't do any attacks from either a combat HUD or from character sheets. Turned off, no problem. This is what I see in the console.

Midi v10.0.28, Foundry v10.291, 5e v2.1.4

[violet meadow]

MidiQOL 10.0.28?
Try turning off in MidiQOL settings => Workflow settings => Rules the Hidden/Invisible attackers have advantage... option

Or the attacking removes hidden

[scarlet gale]

Do you have all the required modules?

Specifically warpgate

[rose wing]

I have/had the same problem. Went down to just MidiQOL and it's requirements and still had the problem. Deleted all my scenes and made a fresh one, problem went away.

[sleek pulsar]

That worked. I don't even recall setting it, but thanks. Can I ask? What pointed you toward that setting?

[violet meadow]

The latest version changed some stuff regarding this option so lets call it an educated guess 😄

[rose wing]

Thus.

[stuck eagle]

Do I need an ItemMacro to cause an area effect Str Save DC 19 to knock prone?

[limber violet]

I do, here's what I have for the spells.

[violet meadow]

Nope. Just an Active Effect for Prone on the Item, add a Saving throw on the Item's details tab and make sure that effects are applied to targets when an Item is rolled

[stuck eagle]

Also I've figured out how giving area info will generate template creation. Not sure if there's a way to automate their creation location when range is set to Self.

[violet meadow]

Not automatically.

If you want it to be centered on Self, you can make the Target be 30 ft enemies for instance

and will target all Enemies in a radius of 30 ft around the caster

[stuck eagle]

Ah

[violet meadow]

But it will not place a template down in that case

Any more than that and you're looking into macro terittory

[scarlet gale]

I'll be home in ~10 min and can double check that

[violet meadow]

Dont you need something in that Effect value for the hex flag?

[limber violet]

You're a hero, thank you!

[scarlet gale]

The item macro updates it

I should probably rework it to just make it on its own

[violet meadow]

(didn't go through the Item Macro etc, just saw that 😅 )

[scarlet gale]

Do you have your setup to manually need to press apply effects?

[limber violet]

I don't, it applies hex to myself and then sets up concentration.

[scarlet gale]

Or have a CE called hex?

[limber violet]

I don't, this the most I'

[stuck eagle]

Set as Inactive, Passive, or Temporary? I found the effect for Grease from Active Auras. Looks pretty close to what I want, but I don't think it's an OverTime effect.

[limber violet]

ve done so far. I did set Midi to Default recently though as I got the error Hidden/Invisible attackers and was trying to figure out what was causing it.

[scarlet gale]

I would check for an error in console right after using the spell

[violet meadow]

Do you need an overtime effect for some reason?

Do you have a module for Conditions, like DFreds Convenient Effects or CUB?

[stuck eagle]

Yes.

I've got CUB

So this?

And this?

[limber violet]

No errors either, it's very odd.

[scarlet gale]

You do have the Chris-Hex macro too right?

Not just the attack one

[limber violet]

All three, I even just double checked to see if I had made them incorrectly.

[violet meadow]

Why do you make it an Aura?

[stuck eagle]

Because it's an area effect around the token. Looks like it almost worked except it still self targeted.

[violet meadow]

Sorry Should be Saving throw instead of Melee Weapon Attack

[scarlet gale]

DM'ed you so we're not clogging up the chat here with troubleshooting

[violet meadow]

Range Special will exclude Caster from being targeted

[shadow kernel]

are there any settings that will handle something like Stone's Endurance (reaction that reduces damage taken by 1d12) or does this need to be done in a macro?

[stuck eagle]

Any idea where the "Wounded" effect is coming from? It says the image is from dfreds-convient-effects. I don't see the need for it nor how to keep it from being applied.

[scarlet gale]

We figured out the issue with my hex macro, the version on my github was slightly out of date.

had this.size instead of this.targets.size

[violet meadow]

Midi settings

In mechanics I want to say but not sure now

[scarlet gale]

Anyone know what the current method for pact tactics is using the advantage flag and find nearby?

[violet meadow]

<#1010273821401555087 message>

You can't do that with babonus though.

Should be doable with the automated conditions module after my next update soon™️

[coarse mesa]

pact tactics sounds awesome... advantage for having multiple warlocks in your party

[scarlet gale]

That's what I have, but I feel like it's doing it wrong

It's doing the source token, not the target token

[tardy arch]

Hey folks! love you guys! amazing work in this discord... Now that I've buttered you up

Which midiqol setting is it that shows and hides the attack/item/spell info card in the chat

[coarse mesa]

This might get you started... #1010273821401555087 message

Am actually kinda surprised that isn't a premade

[coarse mesa]

You mean the description? And do you want it gone, or just collapsed?

Under misc:

[tardy arch]

THANK YOU!

[coarse mesa]

oh no, I think the latest midi broke optional bonuses on skill checks – can anyone confirm?

this is the Guidance I've been using... the result is NaN now

I think (hope) @gilded yacht has been tinkering with making the DSN rolls work correctly so that might have something to do with it

(that's the DDB Importer Guidance btw, and I did get rid of those spaces after the +s in case that was it)

[stuck eagle]

My Dex Save attack was removing the Prone too early. I tried setting it for the special duration of when token moves. I set the duration in Details as Special. But how can I autodelete the template now?

[weak quest]

I just target more tokens before casting

[coarse mesa]

Yeah there's no elegant way right now, you just have to edit the spell in some cases so midi doesn't bark when you have too many targets selected

(Some spells come in with one creature as the target, and you can't upcast if that's the case... just remove it, or bump it up to a higher value – assuming you're having midi check targets before rolls)

[stuck eagle]

Would there be a way to automate this?
Inner Flame. A creature without fire resistance or immunity that touches the giant or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it catches fire; until someone takes an action to douse the fire, the creature takes 5 (d10) fire damage at the start of each of its turns.

[frosty veldt]

Hi All I have a question about Item Macro that sends chat message. So something like this:
const chatData = { user: game.user.id, //speaker: ChatMessage.getSpeaker("DM"), content: rolltxt , whisper: ChatMessage.getWhisperRecipients("DM") }; ChatMessage.create(chatData);
Is there a way to make this message ONLY visible to GM? So even the sender/user cannot see it?

[vast bane]

I would make this a reaction on the creature that applies an overtime effect

[scarlet gale]

I have an automation for being set on fire stuff

I can share it after i'm done with my game

[vast bane]

trying to v10ify a macro and I broke it so it doesn't work and the error is not informative

all I have done so far is swap out the data.data for system

I don't see a "startswith" in the macro

but to be fair, it was dead before v10ification apparently

this is weird cause it wasn't during life play

He used this feature like in the last two sessions, I haven't done anything to it and now suddenly it doesn't work and I definitely have not tweaked midi nor updated anything

I moved to the exact place he used it last even and its not working same error

[vast bane]

oh god what have I done....

All of my on use macros are causing the above error, I can't use midi?

const workflow = MidiQOL.Workflow.getWorkflow(args[0].itemUuid);
const targetTokenUuid = args[0].hitTargetUuids[0];
const targetToken = await fromUuid(targetTokenUuid);
const targetActor = targetToken.actor;
const effect = targetActor.effects.find(eff => eff.label === 'Beacon of Hope');
if (args[0].macroPass === "postDamageRoll") {

    // if Target HP > 0 return 
    //if (targetActor.system.attributes.hp.value != 0) return;
    
    //If no Beacon of Hope
    if (!effect) return;

    // check to make sure only one target is selected
    //if ((args[0].targetUuids.length < 1) || (args[0].targetUuids.length > 1)) {
    //    ui.notifications.error("You need to select a single target.");
    //    return;
    //}

    // compute maximum healing for the spell cast
    let healingRollMax = 0;
    for (let i = 0; i < workflow.damageRoll.terms.length; i++)
        if (workflow.damageRoll.terms[i]?.faces) healingRollMax = healingRollMax + (workflow.damageRoll.terms[i].faces * workflow.damageRoll.terms[i].number);
        else if (workflow.damageRoll.terms[i]?.number) healingRollMax = healingRollMax + workflow.damageRoll.terms[i].number;
    let bonusHealing = (healingRollMax - workflow.damageRoll.total);
    await setProperty(workflow, "BonusHealing", bonusHealing);

    return;

} else if (args[0].tag === "DamageBonus") {
    const actorUuid = workflow.tokenUuid;
    const actorToken = canvas.tokens.get(workflow.tokenId);
    
    if (!effect) return;
    
    let bonusHealing = await getProperty(workflow, "BonusHealing");

    // Bonus Healing
    if (bonusHealing > 0) {
        await setProperty(workflow, "BonusHealing", 0);
        return { damageRoll: `${bonusHealing}[healing]`, flavor: "Beacon of Hope Bonus Healing" };
    } else return;
}

This actor onuse macro is causing all other item rolls to throw this error:

its even killing a macro run via automated animations

Shame on me for ignoring a tiny message Chris said to me while making it sheesh. So apparently this macro kills all macros cause I set it to ALL instead of postdamageroll.

[coarse mesa]

That sounds like a good way to nuke midi

[scarlet gale]

let auraName = 'Fire Form - Aura';
let featureName = 'Fire Form';

This is how I handle splash damage type things, such as the "Fire Form" from a Fire Elemental

<#1010273821401555087 message>

Yeah I think the other link was wrong

I remember I had dealt with it, but too tired to think about it 😄

[fathom socket]

is there an easy macro that lets me switch targets for a player?

[violet meadow]

Ask in #macro-polo as this is not MidiQOL related 🙂

Also there is a module that should be able to help: https://foundryvtt.com/packages/manage-player-targets

[fathom socket]

oh okey sorry, but thanks anyway

[alpine steppe]

Does Midi support lowering of weapon critical thresholds? (i.e. "Your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20")

[vast bane]

specific weapon is probably babonus, all weapons could be midi but I think its a dnd5e flag now

[spice kraken]

Details tab of an item, change critical threshold field to 19 and it'll crit on a 19 or 20

[vast bane]

if its champion fighter just mod the special traits threshold, don't waste an ae on that

I would only use it on things like hexblades curse

[alpine steppe]

It's for an active effect on a temporary buff

[vast bane]

ok then if temporary then yeah active effect, I think its a system key now but midi still has its own too

[spice kraken]

It'll make all relative rolls crit on that. But yeah

[alpine steppe]

I spotted something about midi possibly phasing it out, so I thought I'd ask

[vast bane]

its cause theres a dnd5e key now

both keys target the same thing so its redundant

[alpine steppe]

Right on. 'Ta!

[vast bane]

the key may actually be dnd5e instead of system I forget

[violet meadow]

dnd5e is the system though 😄

[vast bane]

I mean the beginning of the key

don't all the special trait entries begin with dnd5e

or atleast some do

[molten solar]

always has been

[gilded yacht]

That's a bug I inadvertently introduced. Fix in 10.0.29

[sudden crane]

@gilded yacht By the way I made a MR to add support for expiry of isSave and isSave.<ability> in expireTargetEffects. Could you take a look at it and include it in the next version if it’s ok with you…

[violet meadow]

Good to put a ... discord handle to the ... username 😄

[narrow saddle]

Anyone know what is going on with this?

This is just in a test world so not panicking. Before I dig deeper with FTC, however looking at this I think I already know.

It is happening when I try to use any item from a players inventory.

[violet meadow]

Same error to the one discussed here: <#1010273821401555087 message>

@gilded yacht 👆

[narrow saddle]

I also have no memory of setting that feature. However yesterday, sometimes when I unticked some items in the settings and saved, they were ticked again later on. And I wasn't sure if it was me just losing the plot. 😕

[violet meadow]

In the MidiQOL settings you mean, or in general in module settings?

[narrow saddle]

Midi-Qol settings.

[vast bane]

what version of socketlib do you have?

[narrow saddle]

1.0.12

[vast bane]

Weird, I do know that its easy to accidentally not save stuff in settings

change a setting, hit close instead of save

[violet meadow]

Might you have forgotten to click on the Save settings button?
Some times it can happen when you need to scroll down to the bottom, especially in Workflow and Misc tabs

[narrow saddle]

It could well have been me for sure. Just thought I would mention it. 😕 🙂

[gilded yacht]

I have no idea why this is happening - it's midi attempting to check if the target can see the attacker - must be doing something wrong - 10.0.29 will patch so that it can't throw an error.

[vast bane]

I wonder if it could have anything to do with stealthy which has become a bigtime popular module lately

Obviously we'd need more input from the two guys having it

[gilded yacht]

I had a look at this and coded the change for 10.0.29. Then I realised that, because you can check magical effect on the weapon to achieve the same result, it feels more flexible to leave it the way it is now. That is to get the result you want, also check magical effect on the weapon and saves will be made with advantage by creatures with magical resistance. I can't think of a case where that would not work when adding the magical damage to the list of magic resistance types would, but does allow you to decide per item if the saver gets advantage on saves against the item or not. What do you think?

[violet meadow]

Not sure, cause there is also this comment for the same issue

[vast bane]

I think he was referring to features that deal an attack

like turn undead

[gilded yacht]

Merged and will go out in 10.0.29. Thanks.

[narrow saddle]

Here is another but I am not sure what it is affecting in the scene. I will try and recreate.

[gilded yacht]

I don't think so. It's perfect vision throwing a wobbly because the visionSource is not set up correctly (by midiQOL). Turns out that checking if a token can see another token is not as simple as I thought it was. Token vision is set per client/controlled tokens and I do some fiddling to make it work on player clients - and must not be doing that well enough.

[narrow saddle]

Just trying to recreate what I just did and can't get the error again. Weird.

[gilded yacht]

Agreed. Specifically if the iten/weapon both does magical damage and has a save the request was for magic resistance to apply on the save. I added that, but now realise you can achieve the same effect by just setting magical effect on the weapon/item in question. You can still do magical damage, but decided that magic resistance does not apply. If magical damage always triggers advantage on save you lose that flexibility.

[violet meadow]

@gilded yacht I was thinking to try and create a couple of MidiQOL sockets that do an updateToken and revertToken (for not owned tokens)
The updating would need to store the value to be changed in a flag and the reverting look for these flags and revert them to the original values. Probably link them together with some sort of variable unique to the "mutation", to borrow the term from Warpgate.

Trying to figure out a "simple" way to deal with ATL/ATE issues.

It sounds doable, but would it help? 🤔

[covert mason]

How do you set up the rest of the details? I'm trying to set this up, but I'm getting no dialogue prompt.

No errors either

[vast bane]

I think it needs to be an item macro

[vast bane]

I don't think you can set magic at the top on features

[dark canopy]

The updating would need to store the value to be changed in a flag and the reverting look for these flags and revert them to the original values

God speed, sir, god speed.

(just use warpgate 😅 , wrap it in a midi socket if you absolutely have to)

but seriously @violet meadow let me know what, if any, agnostic API functions would be helpful in warpgate for this stuff

i think a lot of the race conditions, odd timing issues, and odd data handling issues can be addressed by leaning on warpgate more

[earnest loom]

Hey @scarlet gale, sorry to bother you. i'm trying to get your awesome Hex macro working and I'm having a simillar issue to @limber violet, I have created the 3 Macros and configured the DAE as best as I could. I have the dialog popping up, and the disadvantage working on the target, but I dont get the bonus damage. Can you help ?

[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..

[sleek pulsar]

Is there a Midi workflow that supports the Assassinate feature of an assassin rogue? In 5e, of course. My rogue player has tried to maximize his ability to go first in initiative, so he often can use this ability. ((The rogue has advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn't taken a turn in combat yet, and any hit you score against a creature that is surprised is a critical hit.))

[vast bane]

#1010273821401555087 message

[earnest loom]

I have none of those module on my foundry server. The screenshot I sent was in the console log after trying to setup Chris Hex macro

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

[vast bane]

do you have character sheet hooks on in item macro?

otherwise is the folder macro not named what you have there, aka miscapitalized letters or the dash is missing

Its not finding a macro

[sleek pulsar]

Outstanding, thanks! Okay, so in addition to creating a CE called "Surprised", where do I put this macro? As an Item macro for the Assassinate trait?

[vast bane]

you can have it as an itemmacro, but it needs to be an actor on use

[sleek pulsar]

So, set the Execute Macro for specific user to my rogue player?

[vast bane]

like this if its a feature

[sleek pulsar]

Got it, thanks.

[narrow saddle]

Reaction icons are not disappearing at turn start, they are meant to right?

Is this set up right, anyone? 🙂

[vast bane]

what does your reaction icon look like

[narrow saddle]

The DFreds one, the blue circle.

[vast bane]

either a bug with your setup or possibly cub interfering

or you duplicated as custom and removed its special duration

oh

maybe you are missing times up?

or simple calendar?

[narrow saddle]

That is it...... cheers.

I did have a custom one. Thought that was it at first.

[narrow saddle]

That is it 🙂

[vast bane]

you can have a custom one but it needs that special duration

[scarlet gale]

Did you get it working or still need help?

[narrow saddle]

No I have deleted the custom one but I don't have Times Up.

[narrow saddle]

Success, thank you 🙂

[scarlet gale]

You get it working or still need help?

[covert mason]

Aye, i managed to get it working. Turns out i needed to set a radius target.

[scarlet gale]

That would do it

I always start with the preconfigured ddb import of an item when I make it

so I didn't even think to include the screenshot of the spell details

[scarlet gale]

Features don't have that section on the sheet. Although I'm betting I can still set it in a macro.

[vast bane]

I'll do you one better, you can put active effects on loot items via the wrench, hows that for weirdness lol

[earnest loom]

Still need help. I have a console message saying it can't find a macro : postDamageRoll

[scarlet gale]

Screenshot your DAE of hex

[scarlet gale]

Change add to custom in the 2nd spot

see if that fixes it

[earnest loom]

Oh yeah that fixed it. thanks 🙂

[dusk crescent]

Hi all, is there a way to make a sword have different attack/damage bonuses v. size of the foe? (ie, +2 v med, +4 v lar, etc).

[vast bane]

would require an on use macro I believe, I wonder if babonus can do this?

[dusk crescent]

Is that the name of a macro?

[vast bane]

No its a way midi launches macros

are you proficient in js?

[dusk crescent]

nope. 😦

[vast bane]

Maybe someone will come along with the curiosity to build it for ya

sadly its not something you can find a sample to work with

[dark canopy]

if you can filter by target data, im sure it can

[vast bane]

zhell answered you in dnd5e, if its babonus'able I'd go that route

[shadow kernel]

is there a way to handle the Goliath feat Stone's Endurance, an on use reaction that can reduce the damage taken by a die roll (i.e. reduce damage from an attack by 1d12+2)?

[vast bane]

there is a premade in MASIF(More automated spells items and features module)

its also really easy to make

[dusk crescent]

HOw does one get to babonus?

[vast bane]

its one of zhells modules

Build a Bonus, but talk to him in #dnd5e I don't really know how to use babonus

[slim summit]

hey, how I can install a old midi version?
I clicked update when I wanted to click on another module, and now I want to revert back to older version because something broke (I have a session later today, don't have time to try correct anything)

[shadow kernel]

Thanks, will try that

[vast bane]

This is whats in its limited uses max field: @prof

[vast bane]

check the first pin here

[vast bane]

make sure you download the right version, I've seen a few download 0.10 instead of 10.0 cause of how long his list of zips are

[slim summit]

thanks @vast bane

[lofty kindle]

Is there a way to make the Midi "Dragon's Slayer Longsword" work against goblinoids in the same fashion? It doesn't seem to support custom types when I've tried to modify the activation condition formula and creature type.

[vast bane]

you could either worldscript goblinoid in or if you don't rename your goblins you could do token or actor name

hmmmm, doesn't it take subrace?

cause I know I've seen devils

[lofty kindle]

I can't seem to get it to

maybe my formatting is off - I'm not much of a coder

[vast bane]

I bet you @violet meadow would know if it does/can

[molten solar]

babonus supports subraces

[vast bane]

yeah and babonus can probably do what they need too

but for sanity's sake I'm pretty sure midi does too we just don't know the syntax for the activation condition

[molten solar]

If it's "I want to add [X] but only when [Y]", then it's always 100% babonifiable

[lofty kindle]

Good to know. I'm trying to figure it out for a friend that's new to foundry. If I can't do it with Midi I'll look into your module for sure.

[lofty kindle]

@molten solar is this how it would work? It's still dealing extra damage to all humanoids.

[molten solar]

If you want it to have +2d6 against humanoids and explicitly not goblinoids, yes

[lofty kindle]

How do I specify a subtype to do damage to?

[molten solar]

"goblinoid"

[lofty kindle]

okay so it checks for both race and subtype in the same box, that's cool! Thanks!

[spice kraken]

Just for my future reference whenever I upgrade out of v9, why is that "explicitly not goblinoids" when the creature type also is included in that picture?

[molten solar]

For the left field, babonus just checks race, creature type, subtype, etc, and makes sure at least one of the ones provided is present on the target.
For the right field, it does the same but evaluates false if one of the provided is present

Left is "must be one of these", right side is "must not be any of these"

[spice kraken]

Can you have multiple in the left field?

Comma delimited?

[molten solar]

semicolon

The Keys button also pops a helper dialog

With helpful text and everything

You'd know that if you upgraded to v10 /s

[spice kraken]

What's v10? /s

[molten solar]

what, you can't count that high?

[dusk crescent]

hey @molten solar on your build-a-bonus module, how (if possible) would i set up a sword to have different attack/damage bonuses based on the size of the opponent? For example, +2 for medium size, + 4 for large.

[molten solar]

Make different bonuses, one for each size. Use an 'arbitrary comparison' filter

[dusk crescent]

Like this?

[molten solar]

Left side: @target.system.traits.size
Right side: tiny, sm (small), med (medium), lg (large), huge, and grg (gargantuan)

and with babonus, you don't need a leading "+"

[spice kraken]

What if I like ++ though /s

[dusk crescent]

Does this look right? Because the bonuses aren't showing up. Is there something else I need to do? Thanks!

[molten solar]

Oh sorry, just @target.traits.size

[dusk crescent]

Is there a document that has the formulas like @target.traits.size?

[molten solar]

pins in #dnd5e, it's just those with @target slapped in front

if there's more, move it there since this isn't midi related. 🙂

[dusk crescent]

This has been such a great help. Thanks for making such a great module. One last question, is there a condition so that the bonuses only work if the character is a halfling, for example?

[molten solar]

another arbitrary comparison, creature type, no @target

[dusk crescent]

I'm a little confused, is this what you mean?

[molten solar]

You want the actor's race

It's located in the roll data somewhere.

All roll data properties should be preceded with @.

#dnd5e

[sleek pulsar]

@vast bane Thanks for your assistance earlier. I have a CE named 'Surprised' that I can put on Assassinate targets. I have the assassinate macro in my macro folder and set up as an 'Actor On Use macro, set the details to 'Transfer to actor on item equip', and the effect value set to ActoronUse.Assassinate.postDamageRoll. It works very well! Thanks!

[brazen river]

Just running midi. Anyone know whats wron?

[sleek pulsar]

Do you have this set? Try it with it turned off. This is in Workflow --> Rules.

[vast bane]

downgrade midi versions if that error is too disruptive, its a known issue

[brazen river]

It stops tokens from attacking so yes very disruptive

thanks

[vast bane]

you can probably disable that optional rule gunfighter just shared to fix it

[brazen river]

That was the one, thx.

[vague relic]

Anyone have documentation of what all the MidiQOL functions do? I've done the MidiQOL. in my console to see what functions there were, and some aren't as self explanatory. Was just curious if anyone knew where I could read up on that, if anywhere

[compact monolith]

Anyone know how on an effect using flags.midi-qol.min.ability.save.con with a value of 10 can I make this effect only work if the character is concentrating?

[spring dove]

Anyone help me with this error? I'm trying to run a simple feature ability that adds d4 to a resource's uses. This is the feature ability. It runs this ItemMacro after active effects. And returns this error.

[dark canopy]

did you disable the option in the message i linked?

[spring dove]

Oh I didn't notice you linked a specific message, my bad. I thought you just linked this chat thread.

let me go try that

Ah, yeah, that did it. Thanks @dark canopy

[vast bane]

thats probably actor on use macro territory

[lean holly]

Oh great and powerful Midi Wizards. Will any of you write a thing for me?
"Midi macro which runs on preRollitem. You can have it check the short distance and if less than 10. Update the item to be 10. if it has an actionType of mwak"
This was suggested to me on how to account for long limbed. I know not how to do this. Please help. Thank you for your time.

[compact monolith]

Excuse my newbie ignorance, but I am not sure you mean by actor on use macro? Still learning alot about everything.

[vast bane]

that is automation to do something that just doesn't need to be done. Just clear the range of the weapons man, it just isn't worth the time to write it.

If you want them to respect ranges, give them a token aura to make sure

Also the range on long limb is their turn only

[lean holly]

I'm know its only on their turn. Having to edit every melee item they get is a pain. Just wanting a set it and forget it thing.

[vast bane]

I'm shocked bugbear doesn't have a bugbear macro

[brazen river]

anyone here experience dice so nice doing more rolling then shows up in chat... seems like it rolls the attack and damage dice twice but only keeps the last

[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...

[brazen river]

ready set roll seems to work

[vast bane]

yeah...no

welcome to the world of hard decisions

You must choose between the two rollers, no, they do not work together

Yummy flags and automation, or the ability to waste a d20 and throw 2 all the time ⚖️

[brazen river]

okidoki

[molten solar]

the hell is "Max Crit"

[spice kraken]

More and more modules come out every day it seems

[molten solar]

Module development oughta be a bannable offense.

[vast bane]

All of these have been either rollers, which are auto bad to use with midi, or modules that threw midi for a loop

or just ones that tim just came right out and said hes not working with(gm paranoia)

[vast bane]

Someone should probably tell Mango its Roll Groups for v10, it was Br and MRE in v9 hehe.

[coral dove]

Can anyone help me understand how can I reduce a Crystal Rapier's charges from the ItemMacro? I prompt the player to choose if they want to heal and that is fine but I can't find a way to reduce the item's charges

Don't want to use Description usages since those go down with basic usage

An easy workaround would be to make a companion item to hold charges but don't really like that approach if there's a way around that

[molten solar]

Make a macro? Doesn't sound like you want it tied to the item's basic functions.

[vast bane]

@zinc blaze

https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros/tree/main/Spells/Vampiric Touch

[zinc blaze]

Perfect!

[vast bane]

is this a published item?

if so what book so I can look it up

[coral dove]

From Fizban's

[vast bane]

Crystal Blade?

[coral dove]

How does that help with the daily charges?
Everything works but reducing those

[coral dove]

Yeah I guess I reskinned that

[vast bane]

I can think of a really simple way to automate it

well not automate, but do it

if you don't care about concentration check spam, you could make the radiant its own thing and basically steal from vampiric touch

[molten solar]

... click on the sheet? Uses can be adjusted right there.

[vast bane]

ooooooh actually you could totally do this, you can grab the previous rolls result, and heal for the radiant

thats doable in a midi macro for sure

I just don't know how to do it

it would need to be 2 items cause the charges need to be stored somewhere

[coral dove]

  const roll = await new Roll(`${args[0].workflow.damageDetail[1].damage}[healing]`).evaluate({async: true});
  const actor = await fromUuid(args[0].actorUuid);
  const token= await fromUuid(args[0].tokenUuid);
  await new MidiQOL.DamageOnlyWorkflow(
    actor,
    token,
    args[0].workflow.damageDetail[1].damage,
    'healing',
    [token],
    roll ,
    {flavor: 'Crystal Rapier - Heal'}
  );
}


try {
  if (args[0].workflow.isCritical || args[0].workflow.attackTotal >= args[0].hitTargets[0].actor.system.attributes.ac.value) {
    const dialog = new Dialog({
      title: 'Crystal Rapier',
      content: `<p>Do you want to heal for ${args[0].workflow.damageDetail[1].damage} hit points?</p>`,
      buttons: {
        confirm: {
          label: "Yes",
          callback: () => heal()
        },
        cancel: {
          label: 'No',
          callback: () => null
        }
      },
      default: 'cancel'
})
  dialog.render(true);
  }
} catch (err) {
  console.log(err);
}```

This does the healing

Not sure how to deal with usages, I guess I can recharge one if they choose not to heal

[coral dove]

If I give the weapon uses, don't they go down on every attack?

[vast bane]

they do

[molten solar]

no

[vast bane]

they don't?

[molten solar]

Using an item prompts you to consume a Limited Use.
An attack does not.

[vast bane]

thats gonna be painful

assuming yolo isn't auto consuming in midi, a martial character player typically hates prompts

then again its gonna be a prompt regardless

[coral dove]

Even if I use the action it still gets the prompt

It's gonna be an hassle for the player since they are hasted most of the time + extra atk

[molten solar]

I don't know how your setup works.

[vast bane]

man the more I look at that weapon, the more I want to remove it from my tables lol

that weapon has ridiculous potential abuse with holy weapon

[scarlet gale]

Could just have another feature that has charges

[vast bane]

When you hit a creature with an attack roll using the sword, you can expend 1 charge to regain a number of hit points equal to the extra radiant damage the sword dealt.

[coral dove]

I read it as the extra damage is just the 1d8 or 2d8 on crits

[scarlet gale]

Dialogue pretty much the only way for that

[coral dove]

That's how I'm implementing it anyways

[vast bane]

Holy weapon adds radiant damage to the weapon as weapon damage

[coral dove]

Yeah I guess I have to go with that

[vast bane]

I think theres a paladin only spell that also adds radiant to their attacks, then theres pally smite too

[coral dove]

Sure but I guess RAI is you don't heal for radiant damage on atk from other sources

[scarlet gale]

Personally, I'd just store the charges on a passive effect from the item

[coral dove]

Or if not RAI, that's how I read it

[scarlet gale]

or a unlinked resource

[vast bane]

you could link the item to the sword with macro.createitem 8)

oooh

Chris, he could do basically what the midi sample item for lay on hands does

the sword could have a passive effect that sets a resource pool

[scarlet gale]

In other news, could anyone confirm for me that DAE isn't as jank now in the new version?

Is it safe to update

[vast bane]

tim sounded like he had 2 updates in the pipeline this morning

but I'm no Tim whisperer

[scarlet gale]

the doubled up effects is at least fixed right?

[vast bane]

I dunno theres a new issue by someone in dae reporting it again

while confirming the equipped ones are fixed

[coral dove]

I still had issues with it

[scarlet gale]

One day I'll be able to update to the newer dnd version

[vast bane]

I think I'm still waiting on something else too

Character action list I think

import a potion of climbing, does it have a bugged double active effect on it Chris?

[molten solar]

babonus can do-- good lord fuck no

[scarlet gale]

Midi can with macros at least.

[vast bane]

the duplication bug thats new is reporting just potion of climbing

[molten solar]

Wait a min...

[vast bane]

I think I'd rule THE extra damage as referring to the special damage in the weapon, but god help anyone who rules all radiant lol

[molten solar]

EM could do this. Pretty darn easily.

[scarlet gale]

Oh?

[molten solar]

I mean you just read the values off the roll in a damage roll trigger and pop a dialog

[vast bane]

I think the resource pool dae would be a definite plus though

[scarlet gale]

Would be pretty much the same with a midi item macro too

Since that passes the damage dealt info

[molten solar]

Probably

[vast bane]

it has to be the damage dealt not rolled

[scarlet gale]

yea

it's all there

you can just look at the damageRoll

and add up anything that has a damage type of radiant

This would be fun on a paladin

[vast bane]

I'd leave the weapon alone, have it have a 3 key ae to setup a resource pool, then have a second item that checks the last roll for radiant and heals for that much expending the resource pool

this way its not a damned prompt on every martial attack

if he wants it, he rolls it

I know you can pull a previous roll workflow cause thats how circle of mortality worked in v9

and its how bugbear tried to do smite in v9

[scarlet gale]

I've never tried

But I'm guessing it's just grabbing the workflow from the id

Even if it's already over

[vast bane]

could look up bugbears really old divine smite he did it that way

[scarlet gale]

Gonna finish making my Elder Oblex Eat memories feature then I'll give a crack at making that

[vast bane]

oh yeah actually I know why it sucked, if the weapon causes a concentration check it screws up the last damage workflow target

[scarlet gale]

Seems like something fun

[vast bane]

cause then the item will pickup the conc check instead

[robust vault]

Eyy Moto, Do you know exactly how midi and roll groups interfere? I have both running and I haven't detected any problems.

[vast bane]

I don't use roll groups but its the spiritual successor to MRE

Zhell probably could answer you better

you likely aren't using it

pop a ** in a damage formula and roll it, do you get errors for roll groups and midi or just midi?

[brazen river]

Any idea whats going on here?

[scarlet gale]

Doesn't appear to be midi related

[vast bane]

thats Combat Booster Module

[covert mason]

I'm looking to summon two different tokens using warpgate, one after the other, while having a sequencer effect play on them as they're being summoned. Does anyone have any examples of this laying about?

[brazen river]

ah ok

[vast bane]

with a crosshair for each?

[covert mason]

Aye

[tender radish]

Hello, Midi keeps giving me this error: Uncaught (in promise) Error: undefined. Roll.safeEval produced a non-numeric result from expression " + NaN". It appears to be exclusively related the extra optional damage flags (effects). Anybody knows how to fix this?

[scarlet gale]

How would you guys rule an upgrading dice for the elder oblex eat memories feature? It says it goes from 1d4 -> 1d6 -> 1d8 etc and ends at 1d20. Think I should do 1d14 and such? or just go directly from a d12 to a d20?

[vast bane]

just combine two simple warpgate/sequencer macros

[scarlet gale]

Screenshot your effect?

[vast bane]

this is probably the same error that Lukas reported

he has the newest midi installed

for lukas it was with the dfreds bless/guidance

tim replied this morning saying its fixed and in the next update

[dark canopy]

if we are not homebrewing, yea, 12->20

[scarlet gale]

Guess by the time you reach a d12 and get hit again you deserve the next one to roll a d20 lol

[vast bane]

I think 29 is coming soon™️

[north karma]

Hello all! Pretty sure this is a MidiQoL issue.
It seems that all my targeting/ automations/ animations are not working. Has anybody else experienced this?

[scarlet gale]

Error in console?

[vast bane]

turn off the otpioinal rule that has conditional visibility mentioned in it

I can't access my server atm but theres a bug with an optional rule that has to do with seeing targets

it has condtiional visibility in its description

If you uncheck it your game will start to work again

[north karma]

THANK YOU!

[gilded yacht]

What are the ATL issues you are speaking of? Is it the use of the prototype token by ATL?

[stuck eagle]

How can I get this not effect characters with Fire Resistance?

[scarlet gale]

I mean, they're be immune so being on fire wouldn't do any damage. But you can check the target traits and if they have fire immunity just do a return to drop out of the macro early.

[gilded yacht]

The magic effect setting is a midi-property.

[gilded yacht]

Agree with that.

[violet meadow]

Yeah I saw the issue you created in ATL and discussions about that in general

[gilded yacht]

If they do damage or have a save they do - these are midi properties not weapon properties.

[violet meadow]

I think if there was a way to directly affect tokens via MidiQOL/DAE might alleviate that

[violet meadow]

Non owned ones I meant

[scarlet gale]

That's what I was asking for

[vast bane]

I think hes referring to the bottom boxes

[scarlet gale]

Checked magical

no advantage

[stuck eagle]

if target.system.traits.dr.value == "Fire"or something?

[scarlet gale]

not quite

export an actor with that trait

and look how it's setup in the traits section

Pretty sure it's a set or array

[gilded yacht]

I'm inclined to agree with the idea of leveraging warpgate (if present). But I'd suggest it is for ATL to make the call rather than something midi should try and fix - people already accuse it of doing too much 🙂

[gilded yacht]

Seems to work for me

[vast bane]

just for sanity's sake are the two of you using the same magic resistance method?

theres the flag and then just having an item called it

[scarlet gale]

was just checking that

I set the flag now and it's still not doing it for me

[gilded yacht]

Good point. I just dragged the SRD magic resistance to the character. Sounds like there might be a problem with checking the flag. I'll try that as well - just tried flags.midi-qol.magicResistance.all and that worked as well.

[vast bane]

also I think chris is on older versions?

[scarlet gale]

Only by a version or two

I don't think magical resistance has been touched

unless it was part of the trait update

[gilded yacht]

No should not matter. Can you export the target actor and I'll have a look?

[violet meadow]

Understandable. Warpgate definitely helps. Effect macro too.

I had leveraged in the past Midi sockets (expanding them a bit so as not to use my own 😅) to add an updateActor function in the MidiQOL.socket().executeAsGM() ones 😁

[vast bane]

I think you did that for my wildshape

[scarlet gale]

DM'ed you the actor json

Turns out I needed to check magic effect as well

doh

Wrapped up my Elder Oblex feature for Eat Memories: https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros/blob/main/Features/Monster Features/Elder Oblex/Eat Memories/Chris-EatMemories.js

[coarse mesa]

Check Aedif's post in the ATE channel... it just clicked in my brain that TVA can already do everything ATL can do, and better. I'm gonna experiment by shifting off of ATL and see if I run into any roadblocks

[violet meadow]

To be honest I just use the other module I was making for token updates so I am not using ATL anymore.
I need to play with that a bit more.

[gilded yacht]

What's TVA?

[violet meadow]

Token Variant Art module

[gilded yacht]

Can someone who's been having the perfect vision midi-qol bug update to 10.0.29 and see if the problem is fixed? I can't repro the problem on my worlds so looking for confirmation

[vast bane]

does expiry checks mean we have new special durations or is that something else?

[vast bane]

did you track down and squash the duplicate effects issue that was reported in dae yet? the one with worn items and apparently consumables?

[violet meadow]

The isSave and isSave.ability

[coarse mesa]

In case you're not on Kandashi's channel, this is Aedif's recommendation for sorting ATL... this is what he's already doing with TVA (which is already capable of adjusting everything in a token config when triggered by an AE or condition)

[violet meadow]

This issue with TVA is how much can it be integrated to midi workflows like ATE could through DAE

[vast bane]

I feel the same way about babonus I still haven't figured out how to put baboni into midi automation

[coarse mesa]

Not so bad in my case, I'm mostly using AEs for this stuff anyway. You could typically have an AE going for something temporary you want to revert

[vast bane]

everything I use baboni for is independent of midi lol

also I think ate has us invested in it just cause of midi srd I think

and dfreds ce's lights

[violet meadow]

ATE is making Token5e changes accessible to more users 🤷‍♂️

Or at least that was what only that module could bring to the table

[vast bane]

the wildcard bug is wonky, but its not gamebreaking for me, TVA can actually quickly fix it if you have it installed

[violet meadow]

Still it makes things more difficult to follow 🤷‍♂️

Warpgate UI and all is good

One module to rule them all 😁

[vast bane]

I love em all lol

[gilded yacht]

It is, but it works with standard rolls etc, so is used by midi if setup. The question might be how to get DAE to allow enabling bab bonuses as effects.

[vast bane]

yeah thats what I actually meant.

I think you are suppose to put them on the ae's you transfer?

cause he has a baboni button on ae's too I think

[gilded yacht]

As far as i can tell the worn items issue is resolved and I've not been able to repro the consumables issue. Can someone send me a consumable that exhibits the problem? Or is it only when importing via DDB

[coral dove]

Trying to reflect some damage after an attack but not managing to pull it off. This is where I got so far

  const reflected = Math.floor(args[0].workflowOptions.damageTotal / 2);
  const actor = args[0].actor;
  const target = args[0].workflow.hitTargetUuids[0];
  const roll = await new Roll(`${reflected}`).evaluate({async: true});
  await new MidiQOL.DamageOnlyWorkflow(actor.uuid, args[0].tokenUuid, reflected, 'force', target ? [target] : [], roll, {flavor: 'Barrier', itemCardId: args[0].itemCardId});
} catch (err) { console.log(err); }```

[gilded yacht]

Yes, that's how it's supposed to work.

[violet meadow]

I have tried using the custom script option of babonus and in there getting the workflow arguments of Midi by the getWorkflow(item.uuid) with some success

[scarlet gale]

You want the target token, not the actor.

wait

[coral dove]

Working with reaction damaged workflow, I'm having some issues getting the attacker's token

[scarlet gale]

just realize that's a dummy workflow

Why not just do a applyDamage function?

[violet meadow]

Look in workflowOptions.sourceUuid iirc

Not at my desk now

[scarlet gale]

await new MidiQOL.DamageOnlyWorkflow(
    casterActor,
    casterToken,
    damageRoll.total,
    damageType,
    targets,
    damageRoll,
    {
      flavor: `(${CONFIG.DND5E.damageTypes[damageType]})`,
      itemCardId: lastArg.itemCardId,
      itemData: lastArg.item,
      isCritical: lastArg.isCritical,
    }
  );```
Easier if you don't mush it all into one line.

[coral dove]

Can only get the actor

[scarlet gale]

Check in the workflow, that normally has more information to work with then just args.

this or args[0].workflow

[violet meadow]

From the actor go to actor.token for unlinked and actor.getActiveTokens()[0] for linked (better not to have more than 1 token for the same linked actor on the scene)😁

fromUuidSync(sourceActorUuid).token ?? fromUuidSync(sourceActorUuid).getActiveTokens()[0]

[coral dove]

Same infos

[violet meadow]

On my phone so watch out

It's a reaction workflow

You got what it's in the workflowOptions

[coral dove]

It worked!

[coral dove]

This did it

Thanks a lot!

[dark canopy]

Just added a new warpgate example for toggling mutations -- should serve as a template to mangle beyond recognition 😉 https://github.com/trioderegion/warpgate/wiki/Magical-Slap

[vast bane]

midi has a good one I think...elemnetal weapon?

its one of the midi srd ones

[dark canopy]

ah, good to know -- might poke it and see what its doing

[violet meadow]

Slap on slap off

[vast bane]

yeah bunch of those in midi srd

flame blade

thats what I was thinkin of

[dark canopy]

this one does show of some more advanced ways to compartmentalize and organize code

[vast bane]

oh is it not a warpgate macro, I forget now if its wg, I just know it adds an item and togges off and it poofs

[violet meadow]

It's not warpgate

Just creates an item

And deletes during off iirc

[violet meadow]

I have some homework to do 😅

[coarse mesa]

Aedif came back with a strong point that TVA is effectively using 'override' for everything, no option for other Change Modes (Add, Upgrade etc). I think in most cases override is fine so I'll still proceed weaning off ATL as much as I can to not get funky resets when I'm using light AEs etc.

[violet meadow]

I was always using OVERRIDE in ATL as far as I remember. I thought that was universally accepted

[coarse mesa]

For lights you often want to go Upgrade, because you wouldn't want adding a light to reduce the light amount. Goggles of Night would use Add... that's about all I can think of right now 😅

[violet meadow]

Yeah I cannot remember now. I will take a look at midi srds again. I ended up changing lots of stuff during the weekend.

[coarse mesa]

(eg adding a little dim light like Faerie Fire shouldn't override your torch)

[violet meadow]

Oh well 🤷‍♂️

[coarse mesa]

That's probably one of very few examples tbh

[alpine steppe]

I've arrived at a point of brain rot and need someone to do some thinking for me:
I've got an effect that upgrades a character's swim speed to match their walk speed. Is there a string I can just plug into the effect value to achieve this?

[coarse mesa]

Mariner's Armor I presume?

[alpine steppe]

Oh, there we go... I still had it at @merry ferry.attributes.movement.walk

[coarse mesa]

ah easy mistake

[alpine steppe]

And nah, it was for Tasha's version of the Deft Explorer perk "Roving":
"Your walking speed increases by 5, and you gain a climbing speed and a swimming speed equal to your walking speed."

I could have just told the player to adjust the stat, but why make things easy for myself?

[spice kraken]

physical

Also str increases by 1 (to a max of 20)

[violet meadow]

An all in one Hex Macro MidiQOL
Setup as a MidiQOL Item on Use ItemMacro | All or macroName | All. No extra Active Effects needed.
Target 1 | | Creature
https://github.com/thatlonelybugbear/FoundryMacros/blob/main/MidiQOL_related/Spells/Hex/macro.js

Duration based on spell level.
If you need to recast, after the initial target is brought to 0 HP, just target a new creature and recast.
The duration will be adjusted and no new spell slot or use will be consumed.

reused a part of @strong yew Hex macro for the DamageBonus part mainly

[scarlet gale]

Neat

[violet meadow]

I really don't know why I spent the time to write that 😅
I couldn't focus on other things I had to do 😩

[scarlet gale]

I assumed you were tired of people asking how to setup mine

An all in one solution is better for sharing for sure

[violet meadow]

The concentration check happening "before the item is rolled" Hook can actually do anything is a bit of a pain.
Thus a need to manually update the item to not be a concentration one and revert it after

[scarlet gale]

Makes sense

I didn't run into that issue from having another feature handle the move

[violet meadow]

Yeah I wondered if it was worth it to handle it by updating the concentration midiqol flags data but I went for a more brute force solution 💪

[ebon birch]

MIDI-QOL Question: Is there a way to have an OnUse macro fire the ItemMacro from an arrow fired from a longbow?

I swear it used to work - just put the ItemMacro on the arrow and it would execute when you fired the bow. Now it seems to ignore what's on the ammo & only use the bow's ItemMacro.

[stuck eagle]

I wonder if I can get some help finishing the radius boom effect on an item. It seems so close, but doesn't finish. @gilded yacht and @violet meadow made a lot of progress on it. I've installed Tim's latest version of MidiQOL to fix an issue it was having apparently.

[white thistle]

I've seen the error earlier, but I don't see how PV would make the los undefined. If that were the case, there would have to be so much more errors; even the error that has reported couldn't even happen, because the initialize call by midi would already break, because the los is used immediately to create the fov polygon. The only way los can be undefined is if initialize was never called, I think

[violet meadow]

Share what you have and I will take a look tomorrow. Too late now for me 💤

[stuck eagle]

Here you go.

[violet meadow]

Your answer in <#513918036919713802 message> seems more plausible.
The arrow will need to be rolled manually for its onUse macro to be executed.

If it had a ItemMmacro that was called by another one, what you mentioned at first might be possible. But it doesn’t seem to be such a straightforward way of execution.

[ebon birch]

Yeah, I found that the ItemMacro code from the Arrow actually resides in what the bow’s OnUse macro passes to it’s ItemMacro, under workflows.ammo but there’s no execute() function that will get that code to run it. Sooo close.

I’ve got a if statement that picks up the name of the ammo on the bow’s ItemMacro, and that works. It allows a simple interface to select the ammo you want to use from the sheet. Was just looking for a more elegant solution.

[charred acorn]

I have one player in my campaign who for some unknown reason can see midi damage cards as if they were a GM, but i have checked their perms several times and they are just a player. They are the only user affected and i cannot for the life of me figuring out what is going on

[coarse mesa]

Are they seeing all damage cards or just the ones when there is an adjustment (eg due to resistances). Because there’s a setting for that

[vast bane]

there is also a setting for when all damage is done too

if the player has permissions to the token, they can have a setting on that gives them the DM button

This gives players either a non button card for non owned, or a literal DM card if they own the card:

my guess is the OP is using monsters that are summons/polymorphs that had been set to the players permissions

[coarse mesa]

Good call yeah

[vast bane]

If I drag out a WS black bear to fight the players, the druid player will see the damage buttons for it. This is why I keep 2 seperate copies of my beasts and other summons, one for the Dm and one for the players cause I've yet a way to control the various token settings of a warpgate summons right.

[coarse mesa]

Ah yeah it’s easy with Token Mold but WG bypasses the drag to canvas

[vast bane]

the setting that is constantly wrong is the disposition

the player color is flagged but the actual disposition is hostile or friendly depending on which copy I warpgate in

which matters when you host for a paladin

[coarse mesa]

Surely you can set disposition as a WG mutation

[vast bane]

yeah I just don't know how

but also...that means I have to either do a dialog grrrrr, or two different macros for the same summons

[coarse mesa]

Oh right so you want to be able to warp them in as either disposition

[vast bane]

if a player does it they get the player color border but its still the proto tokens default under the hood and thats what the pally aura respects

but I solved this the long way, I just duplicated my beasts/summons compendium

ones all hostile, ones all friendly

[coarse mesa]

Ah yeah I think I did that too in the last campaign, used a macro to make all beasts friendly in one folder

[vast bane]

I would like to revisit the two divine smites in midi sample items. What are the points of them? The macro version, I thought would read the critical status of the attack but it doesn't seem to? it says its critical but it doesn't do double dice:

is there no way to catch the workflow of the actual attack in the macro?

[kind cape]

Setting disposition via WG is pretty straightforward, I use it for my summons macro, but can't grab the code right now

[vast bane]

const version = "10.0.8";
try {
    let target = await fromUuid(args[0].hitTargetUuids[0] ?? "");
    let numDice = 1 + args[0].spellLevel;
    if (numDice > 5) numDice = 5;
    // Apparently improved divine smite should not be added to the divine smite. Uncomment these lines if you want it to be included
    // if (improvedDivineSmite) numDice += 1;
    // let improvedDivineSmite = args[0].actor.items.find(i=> i.name ==="Improved Divine Smite");
    let undead = ["undead", "fiend"].some(type => (target?.actor.system.details.type?.value || "").toLowerCase().includes(type));
    if (undead) numDice += 1;
    if (args[0].isCritical) numDice = numDice * 2;
    let damageRoll = await new Roll(`${numDice}d8`).roll({async: true});
    new MidiQOL.DamageOnlyWorkflow(actor, token, damageRoll.total, "radiant", target ? [target] : [], damageRoll, {flavor: "Divine Smite - Damage Roll (Radiant)", itemCardId: args[0].itemCardId})
} catch (err) {
    console.error(`${args[0].itemData.name} - Divine Smite ${version}`, err);
}

This is the macro for divine smite, it clearly detects that the workflow was critical but its not multiplying the dice count

is this because I'm not fast forwarding?

I actually think its not picking up the last workflow, its just picking up the fact the target is paralyzed

I think if (args[0].isCritical) numDice = numDice * 2; is reading numDice as 0

or you aren't allowed to define it twice?

@scarlet gale I tried to install your divine smite and its got an issue where its doing the divine smite twice

[scarlet gale]

It's only defining it twice if there is another let or cost in front of it

I haven't checked my divine smite in awhile, let me see how it's configured

[vast bane]

after its done doing it perfectly I'm getting a prompt for divine smite again, could it be because I left my old divine smite spells in? it even goes through the consume resource dialog

[scarlet gale]

Potentially

[vast bane]

somehow it was auto firing my divine smite spell too after, no idea why

[scarlet gale]

Strange

[vast bane]

once I deleted them, its fine

[scarlet gale]

Also no damage in the damage field

This one will prompt every attack

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vast bane]

yeah I imported your json followed the instructions to the T

I think I'm gonna use yours cause it respects critical

I think your macro is running a synthetic item named "Divine Smite" and cause there was an actual item called it, it ran both

I dunno

[scarlet gale]

I don't think so?

[vast bane]

the combat booster is showing weirdness, if the items are deleted, then they should not show up anymore so something ran

the cheesestake is his weapon, the parry looking icon is what divine smite feature and the spells had for icons

[scarlet gale]

It's a post damage macro

there is no extra item being rolled

[vast bane]

yeah weird

[scarlet gale]

I'm just editing the damage roll

[vast bane]

must be some sort of strange interaction with combat booster

its all working fine now though

[scarlet gale]

That's good at least

It also auto adds the bonus damage for fiends and undead

[vast bane]

if you roll that smite icon it rolls your feature

I think combat booster is just being overzealous or something

its weird cause its a passive

[scarlet gale]

Do you happen to have a damage formula set on it?

Rolling it should just show the description if nothing is set in the feature as an attack or save

[vast bane]

no but it does have an action economy gonna turn that off so it goes passive for real

All set thanks

[coarse mesa]

This is fixed now, thanks! There's still some weirdness going on with the d20 rolling late, two cards being shown (perhaps a missing label on the private one?) and the optional bonus not being optional for tool checks. But it's functional and usable now so much appreciated.

[violet meadow]

OK just change the included macro to this one ```js
if (!args[0].hitTargets[0]) return;
const damage = Math.floor((args[0].damageList[0].appliedDamage)/2);
const itemData = {
"name": "Radius boom",
"type": "feat",
"img": "icons/svg/sword.svg",
"system": {
"activation": { "type": "special", "cost": null, "condition": "" },
"duration": { "value": "", "units": "inst" },
"target": { "value": 5, "width": null, "units": "ft", "type": "creature" },
"range": { "value": null, "long": null, "units": "spec" },
"actionType": "save",
"damage": {
"parts": [[damage, "slashing"]]
},
"save": { "ability": "dex", "dc": 19, "scaling": "flat" },
"type": { "value": "feat", "subtype": "" }
},
"_id": "Lb6zmde1jWwncmQx"
}
const pseudoItem = new Item.implementation(itemData, {parent: args[0].hitTargets[0].actor})
await MidiQOL.completeItemUse(pseudoItem, {}, {});

Should be good to go now.

[brazen river]

Could anyone tell me what this is about? The file in mention is in the script folder under midi srd.

[sudden crane]

With midi flags, you should use Custom, not Add

[violet meadow]

That is an error when trying to install the official Midi SRD module on v10 Foundry

It is not compatible

[brazen river]

do I need the midi srd for the midi qol to function?

[violet meadow]

not at all

[brazen river]

ok super, thanks 🙂

[vast bane]

for the record, bugbear has a fork for v10, and imo, its premades fill a giant gap in any midi setup

its not perfect, but its better than making 200 srd items(from scratch)

click on bugbear's profile, find his midi srd fork

[violet meadow]

( don't confuse them if they are just setting up 😅 )

[vast bane]

Karn's already be neck deep in troubleshooting

plus midi srd is just a compendium module

Imo these are must haves:

even if you don't use them, you can plagerize them for your own items

I literally created beacon of hope by plagerizing more automated lol(MASIF)

[coral dove]

Is there a hook to listen on for actor item rolls (like spells)?

[vast bane]

Hooks.on("midi-qol.RollComplete", function (workflow)

[kind cape]

There are a bunch of different hooks that Midi calls as items are used, but what is the end-goal you are going for? 🤔

[violet meadow]

Smells like an Actor onUse type of macro, brewing.

You can create one, executed before the item is rolled and check the args[0] for the item being a spell.
But yeah, specific usecase would help.

[coral dove]

The use case is: wizard with arcane wards uses and abjuration spell. I want to listen for the actor item rolls, check if they are abjuration spells and update the ward hp

[kind cape]

Yeah thats an actor on-use macro you are looking for then

[violet meadow]

Create on the Arcane Wards item a DAE flags.midi-qol.onUseMacroName | CUSTOM | ItemMacro, preItemRoll
and in the ItemMacro add a ```js
if (args[0].macroPass === "preItemRoll") {
//do the check
}

*Or whatever phase you want your macro to be executed in*

[kind cape]

If you click the gear here you can specify the name of the macro to run, which will make it run every time the actor uses any item on their sheet, on the chosen Midi pass. It will pass in a standard Midi workflow.

Or do as bugbear is describing above if you want it to be portable to the feature 😅

(Which is a good idea, since its not character specific but feature specific)

[coral dove]

Perfect! I'll try these options, thansk!

[vast bane]

feature makes it easier to share I think

can self contain it all on one item

[kind cape]

Also here is an example of Alchemical Savant (Artificer feature that works on specific spell types), which I run in the damageBonus pass:

let spellType = args[0]["damageDetail"][0]["type"];

if(args[0]["itemData"].type !== "spell") return;

if(spellType != 'healing'
    && spellType != 'acid'
    && spellType != 'fire'
    && spellType != 'necrotic'
    && spellType != 'poison') {
        return;
    }

return {damageRoll: args[0]["actor"].system.abilities.int.mod + "", flavor: "Alchemical Savant"}

Obviously you will want to modify it, but it shows what is getting passed in

Also just noticed I never updated it from V9 😂

[vast bane]

fotoply's on v9 everyone shame him!

https://giphy.com/gifs/mrw-mods-bethesda-vX9WcCiWwUF7G

[kind cape]

Its just my artificer living in the past 😂

[vast bane]

I actually turned off the silencer module so it would motivate me to fix my macros

it has the side effect of showing me that some mod authors are not as diligent as I

[violet meadow]

nah most of what it catches is from modules though

[vast bane]

combat booster still throws warnings

and warpgate

he knows about it

[molten solar]

Updated that recently?

[coral dove]

I'm dumb and that was already implemented in the compendium example so fixing the ward flags was enough

[vast bane]

you know me, update buttons are the devil

[coral dove]

Now works like a charm

Projected Ward's gonna be fun

[vast bane]

actually I think I do update badgers stuff cause I know his things are very neutral to the midi setups

(same with yours Zhell)

[kind cape]

Project Wards? 🤔

[vast bane]

its the later abjuration wizard feature

[violet meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/darla-finding-nemo-any-news-gif-14047010

[vast bane]

its the "Dm doesn't need to make traps anymore" feature

[kind cape]

Ohhh.. yeah its on of the classic "when another creature is attacked use your reaction"

Good luck with that 😂

[vast bane]

third party reactions, make this a thing!

I actually do have solutions for some of them

[kind cape]

It has so many pitfalls, and potential slowdowns 🤔

[vast bane]

I just give control of the reactions to the victim

[violet meadow]

Should I share a solution? 🤔

for reactive bond every bond partner gets it

[kind cape]

I am curious 🤔

[vast bane]

active auras can also be utilized for it

cutting words can be a macro.createitem active aura for allies

[kind cape]

Having the reaction be on the target is.. interesting 🤔 But my players are often "see button, click button!"

[coral dove]

Oh that seems something doable

[vast bane]

I don't have a bard, but I have a peace cleric, and he has Protective Bond, so I automate that by doing a macro.createitem to give all bondees the reaction and its basically a damage workflow for an ally and a damage reduction for the amount impending.

[coral dove]

I feel dumb af but I don't get why my aura effects refuse to work at times

This doesn't transfer

[kind cape]

By chance no combat active?

[vast bane]

its probably not falsing midi's application

[coral dove]

Yeah combat is off

Do they just pop in combat?

[kind cape]

By default Active Auras do not run outside of combat, you can enable it in the settings

[violet meadow]

I will bundle together a beta version in Automated Conditions 5e for testing later and let you know 😉

[coral dove]

What's this?

[coral dove]

It still doesn't get applied in combat either

Maybe if I did make it a passive item 💀

[kind cape]

The creature that has it is marked as part of the combat?

[vast bane]

what is the point of the aura

is it a macro.createitem key?

what is its key?

if its not set as a force show it won't show the icon either

[coral dove]

Yeah it was imported from ddbeyond so it was setup as a reaction instead of a passive feature...

[coral dove]

I'm gonna try to setup this now that the aura works

What's the value on Macro.createItem? Is it an item uuid?

Can't find the doc for it

[kind cape]

Yes, you can drag-and-drop from the sidebar or a compendium into the field to automatically get the UUID of the dropped item

[coral dove]

Great!

[vast bane]

you should drag and drop from compendiums sidebars get fucked with too much

[dark canopy]

dont @ me on deprecation warnings if you arent on the latest version 😉

(and if you are, please let me know! i thought i squashed them all)

[dark canopy]

shakes head nah, easier than that -- if (game.user.isGM) do hostile dispostion, else, do friendly

I also realized why your item creates were taking so long

low ram server + constant compendium access is gonna thrash the server. The documents you retrieve from the compendium are held in memory only as long as your browser wants, after that, you have to go allll the way back to the server to fetch the document again, rather than just directly from the in-memory world data

compendiums should be used for "cold storage" rather than a simple folder for organization

[vast bane]

hmm thats a good find, I will test that when I can later

It still might be macro.createitem shenanigans though cause macro created items and warpgate mutates are alot faster

chris does some neat tricks with it where he still references the item in the compendium that seems to be faster

[dark canopy]

you mentioned your server was weak

this operation would be noticably slower overall on a weaker server

[vast bane]

yeah its got low ram and a really bad version of windows

do you think more ram would improve it, well it doesn't matter I'm already in the process of improving the ram regardless, I'm sick of the long boot times

[dark canopy]

absolutely, foundry's minimum is 2GB

free, foundry usable ram

[vast bane]

it has 4, but I'm pretty certain the OS chews up most of it

[dark canopy]

absolutely

if its a platter hard drive, its even slower

[vast bane]

its an ssd that the data is on

nope whole things in the ssd actually, even the os

badger I was on your newest warpgate

that that doesn't mean theres an isue, it could be the macro

[violet meadow]

@kind cape really initial implementation.
Elwynn attacks Lor'ili.
In a 60ft radius from the target, there is Baelor who has an Item named Arcane Wards, which if used will add a +99 ac.bonus for 1 hit.
Attack is registered, item is found, item is rolled and result affected.

Now how to make that more robust... Well will see how that goes 😄

[vast bane]

this ones new, but the sheet seems fine in the summons
