MidiQOL

[vast bane]

let i = 0
while (!token.actor.items.getName("Scorching Rays") && i < 3000) {
    console.log("Waiting for Scorching Rays item to be created, if needed!")
    await warpgate.wait(250)
    i += 250
}
const item = token.actor.items.getName("Scorching Rays")
const {castLevel} = effect.flags["midi-qol"].castData;
if (castLevel > 2) await item.update({'system.uses.value':castLevel+1,'system.uses.max':castLevel+1,'system.uses.per':'charges'})

right in my macro I modify that exact usage

yes but ignore all that and look at what I just shared

none of that matters his item is not made fully

you either need an effect macro or a DAE macro and if you go dae route, you will have to sus out how to do it that way cause I went with effect macro cause its easier

first funcion is a pause cause depending on where your temp item is stored there can be a delay before it arrives on the sheet, though I think its technically not needed

the rest is the updating of the feature based on the spells level

swap the name in blue for your spell, not sure if the equation is right for charges

Line 2 is looking for the item name in the effect value, which is the name of the item in midi sample items in the features folder.
Line 3 needs to have the spell name swapped out for flavor about melfs
Line 7 needs the feature name again
Line 9 you probably have to figure out the math and adjust the 2 and the castLevel+1's according to your spells scale.

no it has nothing to do with that, in my image above I showed you how to use Effect macro(a module)

on the first tab of that effect, when effect macro is installed and enabled, you can make an on creation macro, and paste in my macro above, but do the changes I said

alternatively, you can not automate the spell, and get the dnd5e version

Which is probably just called Minute Meteors

[maiden gale]

Sorry I'm confused because I don't think you ever said I needed that module 😅 .. so I need to get that first?

[vast bane]

Unless someone else can walk you through it another way, just drag out the dnd5e one, scaling doesn't mess with charges unless you make a macro

And I did:

[maiden gale]

You didn't say I need to download a module though lol

Doesn't say it in that image at least

I think I'll look for help elsewhere. thanks for your time.

[hot flower]

ok, this is kludgey as hell, and it doiesn't really work, but this is a second itemMacro on @scarlet gale's darkness spell: ```js
console.log("args[0]: ", args[0]);
let darkTemplate = await fromUuid(args[0].templateUuid);
console.log("darkTemplate:", darkTemplate);
let darkChanges = {
"visionLimitation": {
"enabled": true,
"sight": 0,
"detection": {
"blindsight": 0,
"devilsSight": null,
"echolocation": null,
"seeInvisibility": 0,
"senseAll": 0,
"senseInvisibility": 0,
"feelTremor": null,
"seeAll": null
}
}
}
await darkTemplate.update(darkChanges);

[vast bane]

I always panick when trying to at chris since theres like 30 of them on here lol

[hot flower]

now, when I run it, I get this:

[scarlet gale]

Line 4

[hot flower]

so, not quite sure how to fix that, but it's def possible to set the perfect vision flags

[scarlet gale]

you have the same name

change darkChanges to updates on line 4

then at the bottom

await darkTemplate.update(updates);

[hot flower]

oh, and I see i had pasted the macro twice ... dug.

hm. that doesn't throw an error, but it also doesn't seem to do anything to the template.

[scarlet gale]

what's your current macro?

[hot flower]

console.log("args[0]: ", args[0]);
let darkTemplate = await fromUuid(args[0].templateUuid);
console.log("darkTemplate:", darkTemplate); 

let updates = {
    "visionLimitation": {
        "enabled": true,
        "sight": 0,
        "detection": {
            "blindsight": 0,
            "devilsSight": null,
            "echolocation": null,
            "seeInvisibility": 0,
            "senseAll": 0,
            "senseInvisibility": 0,
            "feelTremor": null,
            "seeAll": null
        }
    }
};

await darkTemplate.update(updates);```

oh i think i know. the data structure isn't right. I need to add flags.perfect-vision... etc.

[scarlet gale]

Just released an update with some artificer stuff

[hot flower]

and here you go. ```js
console.log("args[0]: ", args[0]);
let darkTemplate = await fromUuid(args[0].templateUuid);
console.log("darkTemplate:", darkTemplate);
let updates = {
"flags": {
"perfect-vision": {
"visionLimitation": {
"enabled": true,
"sight": 0,
"detection": {
"blindsight": 0,
"devilsSight": null,
"echolocation": null,
"seeInvisibility": 0,
"senseAll": 0,
"senseInvisibility": 0,
"feelTremor": null,
"seeAll": null
}
}
}
}
}
await darkTemplate.update(updates);

set up on the darkness spell like so:

[scarlet gale]

You can just append if after my item macro if you really want

[hot flower]

Doesn't touch your code at all.

[scarlet gale]

the code is one line cause it's all funneled to my module

[coarse mesa]

I'm blown away by how many goodies there are in your module... had no idea how busy you've been

[scarlet gale]

It's all stuff that's been on my github

Just properly setup to be drag and dropped

[coarse mesa]

Yeah I think I've only ever gone directly to specific pages on your git, never had a rummage around

[hot flower]

this was a fun little project. Thank you, @scarlet gale for letting me hack at it.

[scarlet gale]

Just wait until I get to the monster features

I have a ton that aren't on my github since they don't really need macros

[coarse mesa]

I did wonder if you should be using names like 'Raulothim' and 'Tasha'... I guess carry on until you hear otherwise

[scarlet gale]

Just names of the spells

No descriptions

So it shouldn't be an issue

[coarse mesa]

Yeah, SRD doesn't use character names in spells, idk why exactly

[vast bane]

Tim has Melf for instance

[scarlet gale]

SRD spells actually have alternate names because they're in the SRD

Like Tiny Hut

instead of Leomund’s Tiny Hut

[spring hornet]

Somewhere in a module, I think it's MidiQOL? I have a setting that sets an expiring effect as inactive instead of deleting it. I can't find where that setting is and I'd like to change it for some testing. Anyone know where that is?

[vast bane]

you lack times up module

[spring hornet]

That's it! Times Up. thanks.

[vast bane]

the presence of that module causes the effects to start to remove instead of suspend

[spring hornet]

This is what I was looking for

[hot flower]

Oh, almost forgot. Crymic's patreon page as well -- if you're a patreon, that is... https://www.patreon.com/crymic/posts.

[fringe crag]

hello,

how would you set up Booming blade to include the initial weapon damage and the "damage on movement" effect?

thinking about creating an always hitting effect for the Movement damage

and putting it in as feature or extra cantrip

[scarlet gale]

The ddb importer has a good macro for that already.

[vast bane]

isn't there a hook for movement in dae special durations?

you could pare that with an effect macro on deletion

or just use Mr. Primates lol

[fringe crag]

I'll test the ddb one real quick

alriiight, setting it up isn't as quick as expected

[vast bane]

looks to be an item on use macro

looks like it uses sequencer too

and DAE

best stored as an item macro but if you don't have that module should be ok as a folder macro call

[fringe crag]

yea I have NOTHING bought on ddb. let's see how far I get with SRD

had to extract the cookie and stuff before teesting

[vast bane]

it has nothing to do with that module

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

though I should share this:

#1010273821401555087 message

the good thing about having his module is you don't have to fuss with the items setup cause he only shares the macro here, so you have to kinda guess at what the item looks like

[fringe crag]

ah lame. I just installed all the stuff for ddb. Misunderstood

thanks that worked

[spring dove]

I'm sure this has been asked before. Can someone help me program the Lightning Javelin? It needs to be a ranged weapon weapon attack that deals 4d6 lightning damage on hit and creates a 5 ft line between the user and the target that prompts a DC13 Dex save against 4d6 lightning damage for half which excludes the target. What would be the best way to do that?

[scarlet gale]

I have that on my github

[vast bane]

https://github.com/MrPrimate/ddb-importer/tree/main/macros/items

oops jumped the shark there lol

is it in your module Chris?

[scarlet gale]

Not yet lol

The ddb importer macro is pretty similar to the one I have

[fringe crag]

but I need tashas on ddb for it or not?

[vast bane]

if you want to make it yourself you can, then add the on use macro onto the item

[spring dove]

I assume this runs as an ItemMacro on the item itself?

[fringe crag]

and what can I do that This: looks better in chat than this:

I mean it works but it looks bad

[vast bane]

where did you get that?

looks like a copy and paste from roll20 hehe

oh thats not a midi item for sure its using custom flavors which is naughty in midiqol

[vast bane]

I don't use Mr.primates stuff, but I'm pretty sure all of his are item macros

on use macros that are stored in item macro

[spring dove]

When I put that macro into the Lightning Javelin itemmacro and use it, it just makes a tiny template.

[fringe crag]

yea I put it in the item macro thing and it worked

[vast bane]

if you are freshly installing Item Macro make sure you turn off its character sheet hooks in its settings

[fringe crag]

imported it but not via ddb

[vast bane]

that damage formula is very anti midiqol

looks probably like a roll20 importer lol cause foundry scales a different way

[fringe crag]

i figured after seeing the aftermath in chat. lol

[vast bane]

you can just put the base item damage and then set scaling to cantrip

[scarlet gale]

I'm actually half convinced the ddb javelin of lightning that was just added is just mine with the external API calls swapped out

[vast bane]

Mr.Primate doesn't really chime in here, you may want to use chris's since hes here and can translate how to set his up

[scarlet gale]

The variable names are all the same lol

[spring dove]

gotcha

[scarlet gale]

It's just an item macro

set to postDamageRoll

[vast bane]

ah yeah that'd screw up things

[fringe crag]

so you would just change the details everytime I get like a +1 weapon or a weapon with on-hit effects?

instead of "linking" it to my equipped weapon. if that is even a possibility

[vast bane]

I genuinely don't know how he uses it, my wizard didn't want booming blade or gfb. I honestly assumed it was a modification macro of the next attack

if I was making it I'd do it that way

[fringe crag]

oh. that's smart not making it a whole attack just amplifying the next one.

[vast bane]

the pally smites do that, the bonus action spells

does it not do that?

[fringe crag]

I got the macro to work, but now it messes up chris' flourish macro. :/

[scarlet gale]

yea, multiple things trying to modify a workflow don't work out well

[fringe crag]

yea, it gives me the flourish movement buff. But normally I should only get it after taking the attack action and BB doesnt count as attack action. But maybe I just ignore the 10 ft movement for the BB automation

[vast bane]

a bard using those two cantrips

did they magical secrets them?

[scarlet gale]

Oh

I see what's going on

[fringe crag]

Hexblade dip

[scarlet gale]

the macro makes it's own attack roll that's still getting counted as a melee weapon attack

instead of a melee spell attack

I need to look at how the feature is phrased

[vast bane]

booming blade and gfb are melee weapon attacks

[scarlet gale]

yea

It's how my macro for blade flourish is detecting making an attack

it's just checking the attack type without considering if it's something that doesn't actually take the attack action

I can put in a dumb fix for it and exclude booming blade and green flame blade attacks

[fringe crag]

is it dumb if it's working? 😄

[scarlet gale]

Next release will work-around that

[violet meadow]

@proper siren Do you fast forward rolls in MidiQOL?

[stuck eagle]

What's recommended for summoning spells like Conjure Minor Elemental?

[violet meadow]

Warpgate module and a macro

[coarse mesa]

If you want something that vanishes when you lose concentration then Flaming Sphere might be a good starting point?

[vast bane]

nah that one I use the master key summoner lol conjure random monsters is a pita

[coarse mesa]

There are modules that leverage Warpgate that can help to varying degrees... Arbron's Summoning, Automated Evocations – the latter is better for conjure type spells

[vast bane]

I have a macro that prompts for any actor in your sidebar and crosshairs it in

[violet meadow]

Yeah Automated Evocations help alot

[coarse mesa]

It does the number per CR thing well

[violet meadow]

Should I actually write something now or watch the Bad Batch? Hmm 🤔 😅

[violet meadow]

Oh the Tactical Grid 😄

Why did you drop the poor Commoner in between 😄

[vast bane]

Hey, my eyes are up here ⬆️

the rest were player campaign toons and I panicked in the video

I wanna change it to an open dialog where I can just fuzzy say the name and get an actor

kinda how your module works

[coarse mesa]

dig down api can prob do that

[stuck eagle]

Looks really cool.

That's a module called Master Summoner?

[vast bane]

its half a macro badger shared to me

/* Collect all actor names in the world */
const names = game.actors.map( actor => actor.name )

/* Prompt for target form */
const results = await warpgate.menu({inputs: [{type: 'select', label: 'Choose who to summon', options: names}]}, {title: 'Master Summoner'});
console.log(results)
/* if cancelled, bail */
if(!results.buttons) return;

/* get desired actor */
const targetActor = game.actors.getName(results.inputs[0]);

await warpgate.spawn(results.inputs[0]);

message at the top is prolly inacurate

[violet meadow]

You can re-create the same macro more of less for the Conjure Minor Elementals

But I think that there is already one such example in the Warpgate Wiki

[vast bane]

make a folder for them and point to the folder instead of all sidebar actors

[violet meadow]

Nah, from a compendium ( Monsters (SRD) ) directly, filtering for type Elemental and CR < 2

[violet meadow]

It's coming soon ™️
I have changed the implementation though so I need to make more tests

[proper siren]

Hey! Nope I do not

[violet meadow]

ohh so then different solution!
v10?

Ah it seems that Babonus Ability Checks are coming soon, so that one for non fast forwarding MidiQOL users should be doable afterwards

[violet meadow]

I knew I had seen that before https://github.com/trioderegion/warpgate/wiki/Conjure-Minor-Elementals

It might need some freshening up, but take a look and see what you can make out of it for now 😉

[proper siren]

Yep!

We're talking about the emboldening bond piece right? So there's a module coming that can help with it? I tried a few things with active auras but couldn't get it to work to specify the bonded users

[violet meadow]

Yes. But in the meantime, I will share in a bit a World Script for that feature

[proper siren]

Amazing, thank you!

[digital lagoon]

Hey all, just wanted to check in if there’s been like a best-working-combo update re: dnd5e/midi/dae? Right now I’m rocking the 2.0.3/10.0.24/10.0.14 dnd5e/midi/dae setup Moto pointed to as the most stable a couple weeks ago which is stable but if things are clear to let things go to current builds I’d like to catch up before I jump back to my 5e games. I knew y’all would be the crew to ask.

[violet meadow]

World Script (can be included as a script macro in the World Scripter module's compendium) ```js
function _preRollAbilities(actor,config,abilityId) {
if (!actor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label.toLocaleLowerCase().includes("emboldening bond"))) return;
const used = foundry.utils.getProperty(actor.flags, 'midi-qol.EmboldeningBondUsed') ?? false;
if (used && game.combat && used === ${game.combat.uuid}-${game.combat.turn}) return;
const token = actor.token?.object ?? actor.getActiveTokens()[0];
const findEffect = MidiQOL.findNearby(null,token,30).find(t=>t.actor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label==="Emboldening Bond"))
if (!findEffect) return;
config.parts.push("1d4[Emboldening Bond]")
if (game.combat) actor.setFlag('midi-qol','EmboldeningBondUsed', ${game.combat.uuid}-${game.combat.turn})
}
function _preRollAttack(item,config) {
if (!item.actor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label.toLocaleLowerCase().includes("emboldening bond"))) return;
const {actor} = item ?? {};
if (!actor) return;
const used = foundry.utils.getProperty(actor.flags, 'midi-qol.EmboldeningBondUsed') ?? false;
if (used && game.combat && used === ${game.combat.uuid}-${game.combat.turn}) return;
const token = item.actor.token?.object ?? item.actor.getActiveTokens()[0];
const findEffect = MidiQOL.findNearby(null,token,30).find(t=>t.actor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label==="Emboldening Bond"))
if (!findEffect) return;
config.parts.push("1d4[Emboldening Bond]")
if (game.combat) actor.setFlag('midi-qol','EmboldeningBondUsed', ${game.combat.uuid}-${game.combat.turn})
}
Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollAbilitySave", _preRollAbilities)
Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollAbilityTest", _preRollAbilities)
Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollSkillCheck", _preRollAbilities)
Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollDeathSave", _preRollAbilities)
Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollToolCheck", _preRollAbilities)
Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollAttack", _preRollAttack)

And the ItemMacro in the Emboldening Bond should be just this line to take care of the flags when the spell expires ```js
if (args[0] === "off") return fromUuidSync(args.at(-1).tokenUuid).actor.unsetFlag('midi-qol', 'EmboldeningBondUsed')

Known limitations: If more that one casters use Emboldening Bond at the same time, surprises are to be had 😄
It can be re-worked to get the origin of the effect and make it more robust, but for now it should be fine

[violet meadow]

Wait a bit for MidiQOL v10.0.31 to deal with a couple of bugs in the current one.

[digital lagoon]

Sounds like a plan. I can run the current setup this Thursday if I need to and wait on that. Thanks! 🙏🏻

[vast bane]

29 midi is pretty stable and dnd5e 2.1.4 is doing fine for me

[violet meadow]

10.0.30 needs a couple of small edits, as it will not roll damage or end turn currently 💪 in some cases

[scarlet gale]

I've not noticed anything too crazy on the newest version of midi

What part of end of turn is bugging out?

If you check and uncheck no full cover it appears to avoid the weapon damage bug

[violet meadow]

utils.js:1907 ```js
if (item?.flags.midiProperties?.ignoreTotalCover && item.type === "spell")

And utils.js:3512 needs to be const combat = fromUuidSync(data); instead of const combat = fromUuidSync(data.combatUuid);

It calls a function export async function gmExpirePerTurnBonusActions(data) when there are optional flags present on an actor

Then it just breaks End Turn

[vast bane]

tims doin something hehe

[scarlet gale]

Ah

[violet meadow]

Ah 10.0.30 is up again 😄

[scarlet gale]

I'm on .29 it appears lol

[proper siren]

Awesome, I'll test it out!

[violet meadow]

Yeah let me know.

Saves, ability checks, skill checks and attack rolls get a 1d4 extra once per turn

Should all of these get it? Not clear on that

[proper siren]

I don't think skill checks do but let me double check

[violet meadow]

Also death saves and tools?

Initiative?

so many hooks!

[proper siren]

So so many

[vast bane]

my idea for the level 6 upgrade is a reaction gifted by macro.createitem that lets the reacter shield themselves from damage and then nuke the bonded ally for the same amount and move them to within 5ft of them

[violet meadow]

That is a tomorrow problem 😄

But I want to try to inject the reaction

[vast bane]

I already have the reaction and damage reduction, need to remember where that cancel workflow reaction is I never bookmarked it

[proper siren]

yeah attack roll, ability check, or saving throw

death saves are technically a saving throw so that would count I believe

[violet meadow]

OK so it technically we need Attack Rolls, Saves, Death Save, Ability Test, Skill Check, Tool Check, initiative to be complete?

[coarse mesa]

You’re remaking Emboldening Bond? 👀

[violet meadow]

Add in the bottom ```js
Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollDeathSave", _preRollAbilities)
Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollToolCheck", _preRollAbilities)

[violet meadow]

Trying to take care the need to be in radius to have the bonuses.

Ah initiative is still missing

[proper siren]

I don't think it would effect initiative actually

[coarse mesa]

Oh damn that would be neat

[violet meadow]

It should be working fine right now

[proper siren]

mmm

it is an ability check

so I guess initiative falls in as well

[coarse mesa]

Radiuses right? It’s within 30’ of another bondee. Or am I misremembering?

[violet meadow]

As is it will work for one caster using it at a time...

Needs some small changes but not sure on how it should behave

[coarse mesa]

Most importantly, is it rolling the DSN d20 before the optional bonus?

[violet meadow]

No optional bonus

[coarse mesa]

Say what

[violet meadow]

first roll unfortunatelly

[proper siren]

thankfully I've only got one caster with it in my game lol

[violet meadow]

that roll can be whatever

then it stops affecting rolls for the turn 😦

[coarse mesa]

😔

I’ll stick with the status quo then, do the distances manually

I have two very different attacks per round and will only use it when needed

[proper siren]

ahh it only works for the first roll?

[vast bane]

I also handle that manually

I still think thats doable with bab though

its a bonus that is contingent on distance how is it any different than pally aura?

[violet meadow]

You are not FF so its like an easier thing to change

[coarse mesa]

Pally aura is only around the pally, not all the recipients

[vast bane]

yeah but thats just it

[violet meadow]

it will be when Ability checks are covered in Babonus (soon it seems)

[vast bane]

you make it a pally aura cause one guy modifies the other

[coarse mesa]

It has to work with overlapping auras and not stack, since every bondee provides the aura

[violet meadow]

Its a custom script. Check if another is in range when rolling. If yes return true, if not return false

[vast bane]

also I think emboldening bond is suppose to be like guidance

[coarse mesa]

It is, you can add it after the roll

[vast bane]

you see your roll and then say yes

[violet meadow]

I hate having choice. First roll or lost 😄

[vast bane]

Sample item has choice ;p

[coarse mesa]

Now now, that’s how it should be, not how it is

[vast bane]

does it refresh every turn or on their turn?

[violet meadow]

Everything has choice when the hooks are async and can be awaited. Dnd5e aren't so not exactly doable with fast forwarding

Otherwise Advantage reminder and all good

[coarse mesa]

Where did I get mine from? Midi QOL samples?

[vast bane]

yeah its in samples

[violet meadow]

99%

[coarse mesa]

That’ll do for now. Tim fixed the DSN attack rolls, think it’s just the saves and ability checks that aren’t popping dice

[vast bane]

he hasn't posted the real patch yet has he?

[violet meadow]

oh wait a minute! I just had a light bulb moment, but fml too late

hmm

[proper siren]

yeah so that world script works, but it forces the first roll instead of presenting an option lol. I'll take a look at it tomorrow and see if I can work anything off of it

[violet meadow]

function _preRollAbilities(actor,config,abilityId) {
    const hasEffect = actor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label.toLocaleLowerCase().includes("emboldening bond"))
    if (!hasEffect) return;
    const used = foundry.utils.getProperty(actor.flags, 'midi-qol.EmboldeningBondUsed') ?? false;
    if (used && game.combat && used === `${game.combat.uuid}-${game.combat.turn}`) return;
    const token = actor.token?.object ?? actor.getActiveTokens()[0];
    const findEffect = MidiQOL.findNearby(null,token,30).find(t=>t.actor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label==="Emboldening Bond"))
    if (!findEffect) return hasEffect.update({disabled:true});
    else hasEffect.update({disabled:false})
}
function _preRollAttack(item,config) {
    const hasEffect = item.actor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label.toLocaleLowerCase().includes("emboldening bond"))
    if (!hasEffect) return;
    const {actor} = item ?? {};
    if (!actor) return;
    const used = foundry.utils.getProperty(actor.flags, 'midi-qol.EmboldeningBondUsed') ?? false;
    if (used && game.combat && used === `${game.combat.uuid}-${game.combat.turn}`) return;
    const token = item.actor.token?.object ?? item.actor.getActiveTokens()[0];
    const findEffect = MidiQOL.findNearby(null,token,30).find(t=>t.actor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label==="Emboldening Bond"))
    if (!findEffect) return hasEffect.update({disabled:true});
    else hasEffect.update({disabled:false})
}
Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollAbilitySave", _preRollAbilities)
Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollAbilityTest", _preRollAbilities)
Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollSkillCheck", _preRollAbilities)
Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollAttack", _preRollAttack)

Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollDeathSave", _preRollAbilities)
Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollToolCheck", _preRollAbilities)

OK so make an Emboldening Bond as optional bonuses in DAE

~~The ItemMacro will be ```js
if (args[0] === "off") return fromUuidSync(args.at(-1).tokenUuid).actor.unsetFlag('midi-qol', 'EmboldeningBondUsed')

No ITEM MACRO NEEDED

[proper siren]

Awesome

I'll try it out

[coarse mesa]

Excuse me what is this

[violet meadow]

I am missing a test for re enabling the effect when it should

[scarlet gale]

Autofills stuff

[violet meadow]

bug

[scarlet gale]

Makes it stupid easy to find @ things

[violet meadow]

in some form application I think

[coarse mesa]

Module?

[violet meadow]

Ah not bug sorry...

[violet meadow]

Autocomplete Inline Properties I think

[coarse mesa]

Thankies

[coarse mesa]

How does this last bit work if no Item Macro?

[violet meadow]

I cannot think anymore clearly... I will test it tomorrow again...

[proper siren]

Cool, unfortunately doesn't seem to be working with the latest change, but I'm tired as well I'll test it again tomorrow lol

[coarse mesa]

Pretty sure you’re onto something tho

Sleep well

[violet meadow]

it's close 😄

[coarse mesa]

You will have a restless night now sorry

Man it would be so cool if we could have some kind of visual effect confirming you’re within 30’ of another bondee

I wonder if Aedif would have any thoughts on the matter

[violet meadow]

OK I think I found it!

Someone try this.
Needs:

1. Script macro in the macro folder named for the example Emboldening Bond WS ```js
   await actor.setFlag('midi-qol','EmboldeningBondUsed', ${game.combat.uuid}-${game.combat.turn})
   await actor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label==="Emboldening Bond").update({disabled:true})

2. ItemMacro on the Emboldening Bond Item ```js
if (args[0] === "off") return fromUuidSync(args.at(-1).tokenUuid).actor.unsetFlag('midi-qol', 'EmboldeningBondUsed')

3. DAE with the optional bonuses as shown in the screenshot.

4. World Script ```js
   function _preRollAbilities(actor,config,abilityId) {
   const hasEffect = actor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label.toLocaleLowerCase().includes("emboldening bond"))
   if (!hasEffect) return;
   const used = foundry.utils.getProperty(actor.flags, 'midi-qol.EmboldeningBondUsed') ?? false;
   if (used && game.combat && used === ${game.combat.uuid}-${game.combat.turn}) return;
   const token = actor.token?.object ?? actor.getActiveTokens()[0];
   const findEffect = MidiQOL.findNearby(null,token,30).find(t=>t.actor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label==="Emboldening Bond"))
   if (!findEffect) return hasEffect.update({disabled:true});
   else hasEffect.update({disabled:false})
   }
   function _preRollAttack(item,config) {
   const hasEffect = item.actor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label.toLocaleLowerCase().includes("emboldening bond"))
   if (!hasEffect) return;
   const {actor} = item ?? {};
   if (!actor) return;
   const used = foundry.utils.getProperty(actor.flags, 'midi-qol.EmboldeningBondUsed') ?? false;
   if (used && game.combat && used === ${game.combat.uuid}-${game.combat.turn}) return;
   const token = item.actor.token?.object ?? item.actor.getActiveTokens()[0];
   const findEffect = MidiQOL.findNearby(null,token,30).find(t=>t.actor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label==="Emboldening Bond"))
   if (!findEffect) return hasEffect.update({disabled:true});
   else hasEffect.update({disabled:false})
   }
   Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollDeathSave", _preRollAbilities)
   Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollToolCheck", _preRollAbilities)
   Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollAbilitySave", _preRollAbilities)
   Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollAbilityTest", _preRollAbilities)
   Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollSkillCheck", _preRollAbilities)
   Hooks.on("dnd5e.preRollAttack", _preRollAttack)

Missing Initiative still 😩

[molten solar]

Yeah good luck with that

Init needs its own very special handling since it's just so different

[hidden wraith]

Hey im trying to figure out a way to write an effect for indomitable might, but i can seem to figure out how to put a minimum on an ability check, anyone got any insight, i have DAE and Midi QOL

[spice kraken]

Ex:

Doesn't look like it can take @abilities.str.value

[hidden wraith]

I figured out how to put a minimum on the check dice roll but not the overall outcome

[spice kraken]

How are you doing it?

Cause what I put outputs this

Rolled an 11

[spice kraken]

And what did you roll?

A skill, or str check

[hidden wraith]

check

[spice kraken]

Show the AE?

[hidden wraith]

AE?

[spice kraken]

The active effect

Works for me

[spice kraken]

It's working...

[hidden wraith]

Not as Indomitable Might calls for, the overall total of the check needs to be 20 cause thats the Str score

I need the minimum on the overall check to be equal to the str value

I know how to call for the str value, but idk how to apply a minimum to the overall check mod included

[spice kraken]

Oh, then don't put 20, put 15

[hidden wraith]

Then it wont work for a character with more or less than 20 str

Can you set an equation inside of the effect value like attribute.str.value-attribute.str.mod

[spice kraken]

I'm going the partially automated way. Min score effect value would be the str score - the mod

And no

If you want a full automation way, custom macro or even custom world script

[hidden wraith]

I have no idea how to do either of those

Really no way to set a minimum for a total on a roll?

[spice kraken]

Not without a macro or world script

#macro-polo might be able to help, or someone here

[violet meadow]

Oh no way it's still missing for that exact reason 😁

I can link it to my module where I will wrap it to behave

[hidden wraith]

Pfft yeah i took one look in macros and its like deep coding language stuff that i know nothing about, ill just leave it as a manual ability

[cobalt salmon]

hey guys, quick question: do midi-qol flags for advantage and disadvantage work only when pc attack non-pc? bcs they doesn't do much, when pc attack each other

[scarlet gale]

If you have fast rolls off, it just highlights what button the player should press.

It's likely they're just ignoring it and selecting a regular roll.

[cobalt salmon]

i have full automation

kinda testing it by myself

hm... it works fine in "no automation" mode, and does not in "full automation"

[scarlet gale]

Just did a pretty big update for my module. Went through and marked everything that's safe to be renamed as well as included most of my Blood Hunter stuff. Along with some Artificer things.

[coarse mesa]

Very nice! This is what you should have called your module btw

[scarlet gale]

oh

lol

I already noticed another spelling error too

[coarse mesa]

Someone has to make a module called that. Maybe the next WIRE

[scarlet gale]

And Dragon's Breath is broken

D:<

[molten solar]

Welcome to module development

everythign works
release
users: "hey nothing works"

[scarlet gale]

Lol

Fixing up a pretty big error I made lol

[violet meadow]

This is my personal module. How did it get out there 😅 😛

[scarlet gale]

Now to not touch it again tonight as it's currently 3 AM

[violet meadow]

Create the Feature on the sidebar with a DAE of flags.midi-qol.min.ability.check.str | Override | [[@abilities.str.value]]
Move it on the actor where it will be evaluated to the correct value.
If Strength value changes at any point, this will not change automatically, so you will need to delete the effect and drag it again on the actor's character sheet.

Now if you want another solution, a world script is probably the best way 🤷

[molten solar]

Out of morbid curiosity, how is Template Macro working out?

[scarlet gale]

Pretty well, I've been using it to ditch active auras.

[molten solar]

How does it compare?

[scarlet gale]

Bit of a weird solution actually, but combined with token attacher I can have more fine control of when to apply and trigger effects. For example my Cloudkill automation moves itself and handles the dnd overlapping spell effect rules.

While an active auras implementation wouldn't have the control to do what I'm doing.

[molten solar]

Any socket / latency issues? 🤔

[scarlet gale]

I do need to play with it a bit more. I want to get more stuff like wall of fire going.

Nothing I've noticed, but I don't have players often using it yet

Less latency issues than AA for sure

Only thing it's really missing is a way to catch tokens that move through the template without stopping. But it's easy enough to just tell the players to at least stop once in the template before moving out.

[molten solar]

hmm

I am messing with the grid for babbity anyhow, lemme take a look

[scarlet gale]

I can't think of a simple solution for that. Since it would require testing points between the start and end point. Or finding some complicated way to handle the different type of line shape intersections.

The passed through grids formula was already confusing enough, and that was mostly just taken from Foundry's own method.

[molten solar]

I may have found something

[violet meadow]

Exactly this. I made a Template Macro + Token Attacher for Spirit Guardians to be RAW, but boy oh boy it was a PITA

[vast bane]

what part of sg doesn't work from midi sample? 0_o

[scarlet gale]

A few small things

I'm willing to bet the midi sample item would also let you stack it multiple times

[narrow saddle]

If this is you going to bed at 3am 🕒 I’m impressed you’re still typing. 😂

[violet meadow]

This is the mostly RAW of Spirit Guardians with Active Auras I managed to do before I got bored
<#1010273821401555087 message>

The part about differentiating auras, has stayed unchanged 😄

[vast bane]

was midi 30 a ninja patch?

[scarlet gale]

My solution was to just recalculate what effect should be on the actor by looking at all templates they're in. Not just the one that gave them the effect.

[violet meadow]

Makes sense yes and this is a part of the PITA flag 😅

[molten solar]

// old and new coordinates
const [ta, tb] = [...canvas.scene.tokens]; // just two tokens for testing
const template = canvas.scene.templates.get("ANF7ntHgvm5lBzWP").object; // the template placeable

const ray = new Ray(ta, tb); // a straight line between the two coords.

// number of 'tests' along the line.
const segments = ray.distance / canvas.scene.grid.size;

const lineCoords = Array.fromRange(segments, 1).map(n => ray.project(1/n));

const movedThrough = lineCoords.some(({x,y}) => template.shape.contains(x - template.x,y - template.y));

[violet meadow]

Template drawn, moved, entered, exit, stay, token attacher, flags, checks
But works for a fleeting feeling of accomplishment 💪
(and for players never to use it again...)

[scarlet gale]

Moving the macro to my module actually cleaned up my cloudkill setup a bit. Since I could just reference the same function from all the triggers. Although it looks like template macro has a never automatically trigger now.

[molten solar]

(Door Macro too...)

[scarlet gale]

One of these days I'm doing to actually use that module

I have it installed

[molten solar]

Apply macro directly to the door™️

It has opportunities aplenty

It opens so many doors

[violet meadow]

but does it hold the key to my heart?

[molten solar]

Heart Macro was scrapped, sorry

[violet meadow]

the one to rule them all with much luv

My trapped doors make my players stressed when opening them

@gilded yacht Could the DAE macro.execute have the option to be executed (Macro repeat in Duration tab) both on Turn Start AND Turn End, with a relevant tag in the args, instead of either or?

Could have 2 different DAE for that though 🤔

And also last I used the Macro Repeat at start of Turn, I happened upon some timing issues, as it seems to trigger when it's still the previous combatants combat turn.

[narrow saddle]

I use door macro to play Syrinscape sounds when doors are opened and closed.

[sleek glacier]

anyone knows how to make preserve life works? Used the spells/macro from more automated class features, it gives me a popup to enter the healt but the target gets healt for a mediocre amount of hp ^^ (typed in 7 healed 3, target way below half hp)

[vast bane]

I don't even see how that feature works, it has no dae on it

its looking for a dae flag thatjusts isn't set yet

I also see a hell of alot of datas in it

[sleek glacier]

yeah if i use it its really gets laggy ^^ may just screw it and do it per hand... not sure if its worth the fuss

[violet meadow]

Did you do that?

[vast bane]

I get this:

my resource is set to channel divinity

it says something about lay on hands but the item has no dae to set the resource pool like LoH does

seems like its missing the dae

[violet meadow]

Nope it's an onUse macro

[vast bane]

so is LoH

where does the dae flag come from?

[violet meadow]

From the macro itself

Let me check the actual feature, what needs to do

[sleek glacier]

The macro says use Channel divinit: Preserve life, then preserve life right? only preserve life gets the resource consumption link ^^

it heals my target but for a strange amount of hp i can't comprehend ^^'

[violet meadow]

It heals for 2

[vast bane]

I can't even get it to roll

[sleek glacier]

yea... why? XD

[vast bane]

am I doing something wrong here?

[violet meadow]

cause you haven't created a resource of the amount of HP max that can do

[vast bane]

thats what I said lol, the LoH does it automatically, this one doesn't

[violet meadow]

Create a Resource, with max the max number of hp that can heal

[vast bane]

this could totally be automatic if they set the dae

[violet meadow]

Link that to the Resource consumption

not Item uses

[violet meadow]

but yes. I am just talking about how to make the MASIF one work 🤷

Also the 3 data, need to be system

[vast bane]

how do we know what the resource name should be?

[violet meadow]

Ah frack it wait a minute

[vast bane]

oh I know my mistake

theres two items

[sleek glacier]

yes ^^

[vast bane]

nah theres two items

the other item is the LoH like item

[sleek glacier]

yeah once channel divinity: preserve life second preserve life

[vast bane]

this is basically how we do macro.createitems only the items permenantly there

[sleek glacier]

but how do you set up that it heals max. max hp diveded by 2? ^^

[violet meadow]

OK so you need both Items on the Actor 🤔

[vast bane]

I dunno I don't have a life cleric now that I got both items setup it won't roll

are you using his two items or do you have only one of his items fuma?

[violet meadow]

Channel Divinity: Preserve Life will create the DAE flag

[sleek glacier]

using both items, first channel divinity: preserve life..... then preserve life only

[vast bane]

the channel divinity one needs to be rolled, though...that seems weird, it could just be apply on equip?

[sleek glacier]

cleric gets a preserve life "buff" after the first one (the flag?)=

[vast bane]

yeah, I think this can be done alot better with the modern dae/midi features

the only thing it does I don't know how to do is the management of how many can heal

[violet meadow]

Not sure why the Channel Divinity: Preserve Life is not a transfer to Actor on item equip and you need to roll it

[vast bane]

yeah I agree

[sleek glacier]

thats the tipping point / whats realy don't work well

[vast bane]

I think its just a really old implementation is all

its probably because the pool resets everytime they use it

[violet meadow]

so essentially it's a LoH

When should it reset?

[vast bane]

yeah but can't go above half health

preserve life gets a pool everytime you use it of your levelx 5 I think?

[violet meadow]

oh what the heck

we are talking about something like a Heal spell no?

ok I got it

[vast bane]

its the life clerics main channel divinity

[violet meadow]

up to 5 times your level divided to the creatures you want in 30ft radius

[vast bane]

and they can't go above half health with it

[violet meadow]

healing sliders to the rescue!

[vast bane]

I think it'd be better as a temp item

[violet meadow]

I got it already (in another form) easy to change

https://github.com/thatlonelybugbear/FoundryMacros/blob/main/Healing_sliders/healing_sliders_3_targets_withMidiQOL.js

[vast bane]

man I really wish we could do macro/document links in the flavor text of an item

how is there no module for that ;p

if we had that, then we could put the document link to the temp item in the flavor

instead of relying on vae to do it

[weak quest]

is it possible to make the character with devil's sight see through the darkness? (I mean not just actors, but just as if it wasn't there)

[proper siren]

Heyo, should the emboldening bond setup match this exactly? Right now mine specify emboldening bond ie 'flags.midi-qol.optional.emboldeningBond.save.all'. Not sure if using NAME makes a difference. Anyway, this does work but it's not prompting the user to ask if they want to use the roll or not, still using it on the first roll

[vast bane]

As long as they are the same

[violet meadow]

it should roll an Optional Bonus

I think that needs FF 🤔

iirc

[vast bane]

no I use it

oh shit yep

let me test that actually

it works without ff

it works without FF if you are using a requester module

cause it slows the workflow down for it I think

[proper siren]

ah yeah I don't use fast forward on rolls, I guess I should try it out, no idea what it effects

[sleek glacier]

if i use that macro i get an error ^^ do i need some other mod?

[violet meadow]

It is not primed to use with Preserve Life yet. I will share one later

[sleek glacier]

thyvm ^^

[vast bane]

it does not need fast forward

only if you use midi to roll saves

if you use mtb/lmrtfy its fine

[proper siren]

ah I use midi for gm stuff

that might be why

let me ask this, can you insert a creature type via dae? If so, can a character have more than one creature type?

[dark canopy]

you could likely use the PIXI drawn outline of the template to do a collision test against with PIXI method

get ray, collide against shape

[lean holly]

@violet meadow You helped me with a custom effect macro for V9, well in V10 it is broken. I tried the things I knew how to fix and it throws errors which I am not sure how to fix. Any help would be appreciated.
Macro:

//Will add tempHp to the target of an attack as a reaction via MidiQOL's reaction processing, equal to the damage dealt or 10 if that's more than 10.
//Needs MidiQOL/DAE/ItemMacro/TimesUP (/About Time/Simple Calendar for recharging 1 charge in 60 minutes).
const lastArg = args[args.length-1];

    let workflowNew = await MidiQOL.Workflow.getWorkflow(lastArg.origin);
    const tokenD = await fromUuid(lastArg.tokenUuid)
    await tokenD.actor.setFlag('world','workflowtrigger', [`${workflowNew.workflowOptions.sourceItemUuid}`,`${workflowNew.workflowOptions.damageTotal}`])
}

    const workflowNew = info[0]
    const damageDealt = info[1]
    const workflowTriggering = await MidiQOL.Workflow.getWorkflow(workflowNew)
    const tempHp = Math.min(damageDealt,10)
    await MidiQOL.applyTokenDamage([{ type: "temphp", damage: tempHp }], tempHp, new Set([tokenD]), null, new Set(), {existingDamage: workflowTriggering.damageList,  workflow: workflowTriggering.uuid});
    await actorD.unsetFlag('world','workflowtrigger')

its likely im making things up, lemme poke around

[molten solar]

(anyway wrong channel)

[violet meadow]

Can you export me the v9 Item which was working and DM it over?

[vast bane]

did tim make a mistake with the 30 released last night or did he do a ninja patch to 30?

[violet meadow]

@sleek glacier Cleric Channel Divinity Preserve Life, for MidiQOL.

Test this out. Follow the Readme steps and let me know if it makes sense.

[tired steeple]

ALL my ranged attacks don't do damage attacks anymore. Everything is working fine, except for ranged attacks. Can someome give some light?

[violet meadow]

Are you on v10.0.30 of MidiQOL?

[violet meadow]

Yeah it's a bug in v10.0.30 of MidiQOL

You could downgrade to v10.0.29 if you need an urgent fix

[tired steeple]

How I downgrade?

[violet meadow]

Click the 📌 in this thread. Message from honeybadger.
Locate the 10.0.29 zip and uninstall its contents in your modules folder in Foundry User Data for a local installation.

If you are on Forge I am not sure

[spring hornet]

I noticed that Items and World Macros are both blank from More Automated (MASIF). Looking at github, their dbs were removed months ago and left empty. Shouldn't those categories be removed? Should I toggle edit lock and remove them?

https://github.com/jbowensii/More-Automated-Spells-Items-and-Feats/tree/master/module/packs

[violet meadow]

Doesn't matter 🤷
If the module gets updated and they are not removed from its module.json, they will be recreated

[tired steeple]

I think I don't get it, now nothing work anymore

[sleek glacier]

Tried it but i get a error evaluating macro syntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token ... not sure if i did something wrong (pretty new at foundry after all)

[violet meadow]

Can you screenshot the actual error?

[sleek glacier]

sure

[hard oxide]

Hi guys im using variant encumbrance bulk system. When I update items with the suggested bulk and reload, they automatically go back to 0, it looks like its not saving, any ideas why ?

[violet meadow]

https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/blob/v10/package/midi-qol-v10.0.29.zip
Go there and download it.
Go to your Foundry userData, locate the <username>\AppData\Local\FoundryVTT\Data\modules\ folder and unzip the downloaded file in there.
Reload Foundry aftewards

[violet meadow]

Is the feature you created as shown?

ItemMacro After Active Effects ?

[violet meadow]

no idea, what that is 😄
Maybe try #modules?

[spring hornet]

Does that mean they will be recreated if any part of the module gets updated, or only if those dbs get updated?

[violet meadow]

Any afaik

[spring hornet]

ah well

[violet meadow]

Not a good idea to modify modules' compendiums. They will be overwritten with an update.

[sleek glacier]

somehow there was a different makro in my browser window now... it works very well, you're awesome... can be used for good but there are 2 flaws (if i'm not misinterpreting something) 1. if you chose only 1 creature, nothing happens, 2. if the players are above half max hp it still heals them

[violet meadow]

Noted. As this was not the macros initial use case it will need some further tweaking. I will do when I have some time and ping you

[sleek glacier]

thy very much, your code skills are pretty awesome ^^

[violet meadow]

Also for your first point. When you say "chose only 1 creature", do you mean there is only 1 available or you have selected only 1 and then pushed Heal Selected?

I should probably could check the missing HP of the available targets and auto heal them if they healing Pool is enough. But should I? 🤔

[violet meadow]

( nah really aren't! Learning more as I go 😅 )

[sleek glacier]

lets assume only 1 pc has lost health .. only one pc is available to choose, so far so good, but when i apply it it nothing happens... he doesnt get any hp ^^

[violet meadow]

Hmm did you actually choose that pc? OK I see. I will take a look!

[sleek glacier]

will try it again...

[violet meadow]

Yeah I can see the issue

Will fix soon 😉

[sleek glacier]

yes... choosed it... aswell as locked hp (dont seem to be mandatory) but dont work for single targets

[narrow saddle]

If you do not want to regress to v10.0.29 for each ranged weapon you use for now, go in to the details tab scroll to the bottom and tick then untick No Full Cover.

You should be good to go after that. (That only covers the individual item though, not all ranged weapons)

[worldly geyser]

Hey everyone,

I've got an issue with a Dynamic Active Effect, for either a spell or a feature, ending the moment the round ends (just by hitting the 'Next Turn' button). This, for instance, is the logging I get right after ending the round and Mage Armor getting removed from the token that had just applied it.

Any chance this is an issue that's come up before? Because I can't be the only one using Midi-QoL and DAE at the same time.

This issue popped up for me when I updated my modules about 3-4 weeks ago.

[vast bane]

its a midi dependency module, they were right to come here. That module is in rough shape till the author catches up, there has been 9 midi versions since Variant Encumberance + midi last updated. @hard oxide

Also its a niche module so you should check the github for that module and report the issue to the author, alot of people haven't actually updated to the newest stuff yet so he prolly doesn't see the issue himself yet.

[violet meadow]

Known bug in MidiQol 10.0.30 when the combatant who tries to end turn has on optional effect

[vast bane]

yeah 29 is the version to sit on for now, you can downgrade with the zip link above pinned by Honeybadger

I'm curious what the re-release was of 30 last night by tposney, was it nothing?

Did he ninja patch it?

[dark canopy]

should be able to tell by the commit diff -- link to the release tag/commit?

[vast bane]

You just spoke french to me ;p

[dark canopy]

"linky" to something half relevant 😅

[coarse mesa]

May have been something to do with changing v10 to master? Idk how gitlab works

[vast bane]

I don't see any changes in it, maybe he was fixing a typo on the package page

[worldly geyser]

Awesome to have it identified. Thanks for the assist, you two :)

[worldly geyser]

Welp, the MidiQoL error has been sorted (reverted to 10.0.29), but the issue persists. It neatly adds it, and at the end/start of the round it neatly removes it for.. reasons.

It's probably Spell Template Manager that's stopped working somehow. At any rate, I'll stop bothering you lot with it :)

[vast bane]

yeah don't have other modules manage templates

midi 101

if you want the template to be less noticeable Otigan did us a solid as midi users and added a auto hide for the template in AA

I should add SIFT/Tmfx/Spell template manager to the list

[coarse mesa]

Don’t you dare put TMFX on the list!

[vast bane]

whats SIFTS actual name?

[coarse mesa]

TMFX is part of the TVA family now

[vast bane]

Got it!

(SIFT is v9 only but the list does not judge)

[worldly geyser]

Curiously, all of this worked perfectly a month ago :')

[vast bane]

were you on v9 a month ago?

cause template managers stepping on midi has been a thing since late v9

well actually thats unfair, v9 got it in the final midi build when v10 was already active

[worldly geyser]

I run a session every two weeks, and so I update roughly once every two weeks; all modules, the 5e ruleset, and Foundry itself

[vast bane]

oof

[worldly geyser]

So I've been on v10 since not long after it released

[vast bane]

That is like Russian Roullette the way you are updating lol

[worldly geyser]

I mean, I do it a couple days in advance and make backups; I have learned from previous times where that blew up in my face :D

[vast bane]

if midi's automated items are playing off the template, then if a nother module kills the template, midi can't continue its functions on that automation. so either you haven't used THE item in question alot to notice it, or its a new item.

Sift/spell manager/tmfx have always been bad things for active auras for instance

thats true as far back as AA's launch

cause the aura tethers to the template on template spells

[worldly geyser]

hmm

The things having issues aren't new, though; spells like mage armor and whatnot. Anything lasting longer than a turn is proving problematic

[vast bane]

also your animations will die if you have them setup to tether to the template

mage armor doesn't have a template what do you mean exactly?

sounds to me like you lack times up module if your durations are problematic

[worldly geyser]

[vast bane]

also make sure you have midi srd's or ddb importers mage armor, the dnd5e srd version is bad for midi

[worldly geyser]

haven't a single clue how that happened

mhm, I try to

[vast bane]

its a dependency module so it can get shutoff during find the culprits or troubleshooting by accident, I don't judge 😉

[worldly geyser]

Well, that makes one of us :D

but that's probably what happened then, yeah. At least I got it all sorted, again!

thanks ever so much for the assist :)

[violet meadow]

Spell template manager had stopped working or at least being developed pre v10

[vast bane]

holy moly thats an issue, they should definitely clear their v9 and older modules out before coming to troubleshoot midi

the project page for Spell Template Manager is a 404 error...

I would definitely yeet that module if you are on v10 foundry

And check all of your v9 and older modules to see if theres a v10 branch on the package page, the UPDATE button will be unreliable to use if they are on earlier branches of foundry.

[iron folio]

cuz, searching threads is wonky - Anyone else having issues with late targeting not popping up if youve already got a target selected, despite having it set to always show late targeting, even if you have something selected? Only started happeneing recently. Not sure what we broke, or if it broke.

[vast bane]

his patch notes have been changing things related to that, are you on 10.0.30?

I'd advise stepping down to 29 for now, but I don't know if changing versions can help you

[coarse mesa]

Aw Chris... this is cute. Great idea

[scarlet gale]

Thanks lol. I figured it was a simple solution to get people to understand where the content was.

It started with me needing a way to allow people to set descriptions for temp items that are created.

Then I realized I can set the first page to have a little intro blurb.

[coarse mesa]

That's clever. I guess by default it could just replicate the description from the originating spell/feature (if it isn't already doing that)

[scarlet gale]

That's what I was originally doing, but I pretty often trim down descriptions for other things.

[coarse mesa]

Yeah absolutely

[scarlet gale]

Like having dragon's breath give you the full description would be annoying. I would only have the breath attack parts in the description for the created item.

[coarse mesa]

Agreed, I think you've come up with a great workaround. My only concern is that folk will overlook it, but that's on them lol

[scarlet gale]

100% made it for myself

I want to be able to use my module in my own game

And it would annoy me to have empty descriptions

[molten solar]

2.2.0 might grant the ability for items to have two versions of their description, one for the item, one for the chatlog

[scarlet gale]

That will be nice.

[scarlet gale]

You asked yesterday about template macros. I just remembered one last request. A turn start in template trigger would allow me to not need any effects for cloudkill and similarly worded spells

I can probably get an effect macro to handle it, but figured I'd mention it

[molten solar]

Do you wanna make a PR or two?

Much of the code can be copied from EM directly

I'm currently neck deep in babonus

[scarlet gale]

Focused on my module at the moment, still tons of stuff to do. I'll take a look at it when I get a chance.

[coarse mesa]

turn end in template too maybe? wall of fire is turn end if you're within 10' of one side of it which is annoying

[scarlet gale]

Only reason I haven't made an attempt at that spell yet. I can't figure out an elegant way to designate what side the fire is facing.

[coarse mesa]

Advanced Spell Effects pulled it off in v9, but yeah looks super full on

[scarlet gale]

Might be able to look at that for inspiration

[molten solar]

With a dialog? It's a choice, isnt it

[coarse mesa]

Near side/far side? North side? 🤔 I guess the choices presented would need to adapt to the situation?

[vast bane]

Do the UUID's change of an item if its in a shared campaign module compendium in two different worlds? Do I have to relink all my macro.createItem?

[dark canopy]

nope

[odd sable]

No idea how tricky this would be since I'm not very good at macros, but I have a Rogue in my game who recently got some features that interact with Sneak Attack, without being attacks with a weapon themselves (i.e. they're set up as Features rather than Weapon Attacks, but can do extra sneak attack damage under the right conditions). Would there be an easy way to add them to the latest MidiQoL Sample Item for sneak attack so that the sneak attack feature detects usage of these features, or would I be better off just salvaging the damage parts of the Sneak-Attack itemmacro (while getting rid of the checks for weapon type and similar) and just run those as a direct separate item macro from said features?

[scarlet gale]

Doable, but why not just make those features into weapons?

Unless that interacts poorly with other stuff

You can likely edit whatever line is in sneak attack for detecting valid items and updated it to include whatever feature name you have.

[odd sable]

Hm, it's possible I could do them as weapons actually, that's a good point. Some of them have limited uses per day, but I guess those fields are available for weapons as well as features... some of the features are Saves rather than attack rolls, but I guess I'm still one step closer to where I need to be to get it to work if I base them on weapons to begin with!

[atomic badge]

Hey gang, I'm looking for a way to replicate the following effect in the macros but I'm struggling to find how to do it in the most efficient manner possible:

Increases the effectiveness of healing from features and spells targeting creatures other than yourself, increasing the amount of healing die by two times the original amount. The healing die increase is further improved at 12th level (three times) and 16th level (four times).

[scarlet gale]

Doable with an actor on use

I have something similar let me see

Item Macro:

let modifier = 2;
if (this.targets.size === 0) return;
let oldDamageRoll = this.damageRoll;
let newDamageRoll = '';
for (let i = 0; oldDamageRoll.terms.length > i; i++) {
    let flavor = oldDamageRoll.terms[i].flavor;
    let isDeterministic = oldDamageRoll.terms[i].isDeterministic;
    if (flavor.toLowerCase() != 'healing' || isDeterministic === true) {
        newDamageRoll += oldDamageRoll.terms[i].formula;
    } else {
        let diceNum = oldDamageRoll.terms[i].number * modifier;
        newDamageRoll += diceNum + 'd' + oldDamageRoll.terms[i].faces + '[healing]';
    }
}
let damageRoll = await new Roll(newDamageRoll).roll({async: true});
await this.setDamageRoll(damageRoll);```
Make a DAE with the following set as a passive effect:
flags.midi-qol.onUseMacroName | Custom | ItemMacro.FeatureNameHere,postDamageRoll

Untested, should work.

Might be a less dumb way to recreate the formula

Just noticed you want to double the dice, let me change it quick

Edited the above code.

[violet meadow]

Just a FYI v10.0.24

• Hooks that fire on midi-qol.DamageRollComplete can now modify the damage roll and the chat card displaying the damage will update accordingly.

[scarlet gale]

oh nice

[violet meadow]

Hmm also I think you need to filter for healing flavor in the else conditional

[scarlet gale]

Don't think so? The above if catches all non-healing

[violet meadow]

OK I see. I would still bail out first thing if no damageRoll terms contain healing 🤷

Too early ☕

[scarlet gale]

oh sure

this was to just get started

it could be improved for sure

[scarlet gale]

This include postDamageRoll?

Or just the called hook 'DamageRollComplete'

[violet meadow]

I haven't used that yet, but I thought it meant it will wait all damage rolls + bonus damage only ones and then on whatever fires.

testing

[scarlet gale]

I assumed it just meant we could drop the setDamageRoll function

and just do workflow.damageRoll = whatever

[violet meadow]

Might well do 🤔

but I thought the setDamageRoll would be able to modify all damage

[scarlet gale]

oh sure

You mean directly editing the damageRoll terms?

Actually

I bet we can just directly do that here anyway

Not sure if it's easier then just remaking the formula however

[vast bane]

is your balm of peace the one you made for me?

where you select all targets and click it once

[scarlet gale]

Yep, although I cleaned it up slightly.

It's using a temp item now instead of duplicating the original item.

Doesn't change much, but it fits the workflow of my module better.

[narrow saddle]

Without going in to too much detail, the way I handle characters when players don't turn up to the virtual table for a session is that in the Undermountain, Halaster has cursed them somewhat so that the character without a player that week will turn in to a statuette and another character has to carry them around.

This helps for various reasons, I don't have to play the character and neither does anyone else and I can tailor the session to fit fewer characters.

One player suggested that to help the rest of them out slightly is that when a character turns in to a statuette some of their abilities transfer onto the character that is carrying them around and gets some of their skills/abilities/spells/features (limited). e.g. Cure Wounds if the Cleric is a statuette that week. Bardic Inspiration if the Bard has been turned.

Is it fairly easy to put these things in to an item so that when the character carrying the statuette receives these boons? Using DAE or anything else related to Midi.

(Sorry about the waffle)

[scarlet gale]

Depends

Quick and dirty way is to use a macro.createItem effect

[vast bane]

I play them cause I don't want the party to suffer and my encounter balance is based on them existing

plus I enjoy mocking them and roleplaying them hehe

[narrow saddle]

They have been turning in to statuettes for some time now.
It is so much easier and a lot less hassle.

Just thought it was a neat idea for them to get some benefit from the statuette. 🙂

[winged anchor]

Hi all, anyone able to help with Convenient Effects + Midi? I just want to add a start of round, add resource, passive, similar to Regeneration CE

[violet meadow]

So at the start of your round you need to add 1 to a specific resource?

[hot flower]

@scarlet gale filed an issue on github, but FYI, spirit shroud is doing necrotic damage no matter what I select.

[winged anchor]

YES 🙂

[molten solar]

It's an additional module, but could use Effect Macro and it would be trivial.

const {value, max} = actor.system.resources.primary;
await actor.update({"system.resources.primary.value": Math.min(value + 1, max)});

[violet meadow]

Or a DAE start of turn with a macro.execute or macro.itemMacro ```js
if (args[0] === "each") {
const effectActor = fromUuidSync(args.at(-1).tokenUuid).actor;
const {value, max} = effectActor.system.resources.primary;
await effectActor.update({"system.resources.primary.value": Math.min(value + 1, max)});
}

[winged anchor]

Thank you!

[winged anchor]

Thank you as well! 🙂

[vast bane]

can you clarify the wording cause if its accurate to how I'm reading it, neither of them gave you the proper solution

theirs refresh on the turn of the owner of the ae, you are saying start of round, I don't think either module have a start of round hook

Though I bet one could ask Zhell nicely and get that hook added to EM

[dark canopy]

if there is a turn start event, then you can check for turn 0 (or 1, however it counts) pretty quickly

[molten solar]

Would be trivial

[vast bane]

Hmmm I do remember turns and rounds being different for starting integers but I don't remember which

I think turns are 0 and rounds are 1

[molten solar]

"round 0" is before combat has begun

[dark canopy]

Here is some reference code from Helpers: https://github.com/trioderegion/dnd5e-helpers/blob/689bbfecdf42fc016f1f34decc117d3b022f2003/scripts/module.js#L78-L89

(it looks for turn starts, avoiding 0th round, but you can see all of the data structures you are interested in)

[molten solar]

It's changed in v10

There's a direction now as well

[coarse mesa]

@molten solar, I have an idea for TM that would increase its stock… but does drift slightly outside of macro territory. But could loop back around into the macro so you might be amenable…

[vast bane]

Hey @coarse mesa I'm sending a user your way at some point cause their browser is not taking the chat gif css fix right so be ready for a ping by them.

hes not gonnna ping you till he gets to his pc later today

for some reason the css i gave him is kinda like not doing the same thing, its moving it the opposite direction or something

[coarse mesa]

Cool, sounds interesting

Moving it outside the window bounds completely seems like the best place for it

[vast bane]

Does anyone have a premade for Relentless Rage? I think its kinda like Undead Fortitude but the DC goes up the more it happens?

I see simbuls added the ability to flag a player with undead forittude but its not exactly undead fortitude....but I don't fast forward so I guess I could manually make him put a -5 in his subsequent rolls

[woeful jay]

Hello all, new guy here.
I am trying to get Concentration to automatically fall off when a spells durations is up and am having some issues.
I have MidiQol, DAE, and Times up but concentration seems to be hit and miss. For instance
Cast Resistance on myself: Concentration and Resistance applies, they each show 10 rounds. Fast forward 10 rounds and they both stay active with Duration = zero
Case Bless on myself: Concentration and Bless applies, they each sho 10 rounds. Fast forward 10 rounds and they both fall off.
Is this just a simple thing I am missing somewhere?
Thanks in advance 🙂

[vast bane]

I could be wrong but I don't think tims solved the combat timer not killing ae's

its intermittent I think, and I never have the issue but I think its cause I'm neurotic and always put a seconds duration AND rounds

I think it only happens if you put just rounds into the duration tab of an ae

so whatever you are concentrating on has a combat only duration

Are you on midi 29?

[woeful jay]

Sorry, like I said, pretty new here. How does one check that?

[vast bane]

manage modules and look at the last bit of the version number of midiqol

[woeful jay]

you mean the version? 10.0.30

[vast bane]

downgrade to 29, 30 is bugged

https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/blob/v10/package/midi-qol-v10.0.29.zip

this will be a zip file with the whole midiqol folder. You just need to find your midi folder in your userdata/modules folder and replace it

[woeful jay]

Will that revert settings? I've went through all the MIdi settings. I'll grab screenshots if I will need to reset everything lol

[vast bane]

if you are a midi user, I highly recommend being very cautious with update buttons till you have a confirmation things are safe

settings are handled by your foundry install/world file. replacing the module folder does not harm you(if you replace the right one that is)

[woeful jay]

I'll remember that in the future. I've installed everything today, so I guess I just have bad timing lol

[vast bane]

whenever you click an update button in foundry it actualy replaces everything anyway, it doesn't do smart patching

[woeful jay]

Well thanks for the response! I'll downgrade and see what happens 🙂

[vast bane]

if you don't know where your data is, in the main menu the configuration tab gives you the local location of it

[winged anchor]

at the start of your turn -> regen 1 primary resource

[vast bane]

its a bug unrelated to your durations, I don't think hes fixed that bug with combat ending on durations, so the solution is to just be meticulous with all your ae's:

I think it happens when the spell is relying upon dae to convert the item details IN combat. if you manually set these like a good dooby, then you won't really see that bug.

[vast bane]

then their solutions are perfect

Not entirely sure if round start is a worthwhile hook, having a hard time finding one to justify begging Zhell for it hehe

Hmmm, the simbuls feature to add undead fortitude is kinda meh. It doesn't work perfectly for Relentless rage.

[woeful jay]

What do you mean by being meticulous. Are you saying I should cast resistance, then go manually edit the AE in the tokens "effects" tab to have a 60 second timer?

Or is there a way to change the resistance spell to use 60 seconds rather than 10 rounds?

[coarse mesa]

@vast bane what’s the issue with .30? I have a game coming up this weekend and may have accidentally hit Update All 👀

[vast bane]

something about damage not dealing out in some cases and overtime effects on end of turns

[vast bane]

edit the spells ae before you cast it to include the timed duration instead of rounds or both if you can easily calculate it in your head, anything above a minute doesn't need rounds

what version are you on, I really suspect its fixed and you are on an earlier version, I don't see that bug anymore at all and I'm not 100% meticulous with my spells

[coarse mesa]

Ok the damage part sounds grim. I’ll downgrade unless Tim saves the day

[woeful jay]

I reverted to .29 like you said. Doesnt seem to fix the issue I am having with Resistance not falling off. If I adjust the Temporary effect to 60 seconds it works.
And I notice the temporary effect on Bless is 60 seconds by default.
How would I chance the duration from 10 rounds to 60 seconds for resistance? Sorry for the dumb questions, but I dont see it on the spell details.

[vast bane]

it was never a fix for that, its just a fact that 30 has 2 glaring issues that screw up combat

[woeful jay]

Oh I see... its not under the details duration. Its under effects

I am learning! lol. Thanks again

[vast bane]

you shouldn't have to do it, and the bug is not 100% so you could just shut off the buffs that persist after combat, its probably just a handful

are you using the dfreds bless or the midi srd bless?

[woeful jay]

The midi SRD bless wasnt falling off

[vast bane]

open the clerics sheet, edit the bless spell on the cleric, and show me the effect tab of the item, not details

[vast bane]

Unknown source looks really sus thats prolly a bad import

[woeful jay]

I setup the resistance spell to mirror that temp effect and it works properly now

Bless actually works. It was resistance that wasnt. And I think it was the base SRD resistance. Probably why it wasn't working

[vast bane]

I stand corrected:

[woeful jay]

Is that the Midi srd one?

[vast bane]

does anyone have a bless from ddb?

[vast bane]

yes it is

your player prolly swapped the icon

[woeful jay]

That is what my midi srd looks like

[vast bane]

thats not midi srd

thats dnd5e srd and fyi, dnd5e srd spells like that confuse the hell out of midi

never ever ever use dnd5e srd items with suspended effects in midi

[vast bane]

midi uses suspended things to denote immunity to the effect

what version of midi srd do you have

[woeful jay]

10.10.0

[vast bane]

shit thats passive not inactive

god I need to go to bed

midi srd might be the cause of this "spells don't end when combat ends" cause midi srd seems to lean heavily on dae converting durations

like 99% of its stuff have passive ae's

[woeful jay]

Well, at least now I know how to fix a spell if it comes up again. I am slowly working on moving from roll20 to foundry, so I am trying to get everything set up before I start a real game. I don't mind editing spells to have a temp effect is necessary when they come up.

[vast bane]

yeah set the duration manually on the source spell then anytime you cast it it should be ok

it also should only happen for spells cast in combat that are relying upon the dae feature to convert its details druation to effect duration

I think you will find its mostly just midi srd items doing that

[woeful jay]

yeah. Spell out of combat have durations long enough to mostly ignore until I tell the player it wore off lol

[vast bane]

and again, you can fix this after the fact by just noticing a bless lingering and killing the clerics conc manually

[woeful jay]

or just kill the cleric as a whole!

[vast bane]

if you have a module like VAE you can quickly kill conc on a player by right click ing it in the vae display:

Shoutout to Simbuls Cover calculator giving us the Feels:

[woeful jay]

I have Dfreds effects panel which lets me do it

[vast bane]

Dfreds and VAE are basically the same module except that VAE works smoother with zhells other modules and he gives us an editor for descriptions if you fancy yourself for dumping time into gussying up the descriptions

[woeful jay]

Maybe one day. For now, I need to make things as easy on my players as possible for the transfer from Roll20.

[winged anchor]

these beauties, I cant get either to work, and my previous temp health one wont work anymore (I would prefer NOT to use Temp health though since the player cant benefit from actual temp health)

is there a dependency im missing?

I rename as the instructions state, but I activate, use abjuration spells and nothing. I use it, and Apply Active Effects nothing. 🙂 I am sure its something silly but I cant figure it out.

[vast bane]

the apply active effects button is causing my eye to twitch

you either are using modules you shouldn't, or your effect transfer is turned off in midi

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

The following modules have template settings that step on midi:
Spell Template Manager
SIFT(Spells, Items, Features Toolkit)
TokenmagicFX

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

Midi requires Item Macro to have its "Character sheet hooks" feature set to unchecked in order for on use macros to work right.

When editing owned items(items on actors) active effects beware of duplicating active effects that interfere. Always check the actors effect tab for rogue ae's.

[scarlet gale]

Speak of character sheet hook, I have my module yell at you if that setting is incorrect

I don't know why midi-qol doesn't do the same.

[vast bane]

Wow this ones back in 29 midi...this seems wrong, didn't he fix this?

Reactions with naughty words for flavor are triggering an error again

[scarlet gale]

yellow not red, could you show more to the left?

unless it's actually stopping it

[scarlet gale]

Does it actually stop it from working?

[vast bane]

no, but I'm trying to troubleshoot arcane ward with shield on a starter hero

thought maybe that was an issue

I think the resource usage arcane ward is bugged

or needs better instructions as it doesn't apply on equip

[scarlet gale]

I'll have to double check, but it being yellow instead of red means midi might just be logging it out, but not actually breaking anything

[vast bane]

its also throwing compat warnings from its IM so I think it needs v10ification

content: `${args[0].itemData.name} gains ${args[0].spellLevel * 2} points to ${newWardStrength}/${wardStrengthMax}`,

is this data needing to be replaced?

        args[0].itemData?.system.school === "abj" &&
        args[0].itemData?.system.level > 0) {

it throws 2 data warnings when you open the item details, I suspect its from the item macro I see 3 data entries.

[vast bane]

I don't think either arcane ward are functional in midi atm, I just do not understand how its suppose to work and its throwing compat warnings on top of its ineffective setup

[vast bane]

Ok I am able to get the resource one to function, you must link it to one of the 3 resource pools, you can name the pool if you want, no need to change its value/max the macro does it itself. Once you cast an abjuration spell, you need to MANUALLY roll the feature(you may want to rename the feature so its more proper looking). Then when you take damage it should subtract from the resource pool.

[molten solar]

🤔
babonus could do it...?

[vast bane]

it wil find the last thing that actor has cast and if its abjuration it will calculate the wards strength

I guess a world script could be employed to get it to auto roll after abjure spells

or you could get a basic item.use going on all abjure spells to roll it

[vast bane]

I'm not well versed in baboni to set it up

[scarlet gale]

I should take a look at that some time. I'm betting a damage applied hook would simplify using this

If target has a arcane ward, adjust the HP and resource value correctly

[vast bane]

the sample item just needs a way to auto fire the ward so it starts up

it should activate on long rest and be 0/0 and then fire everytime an abjuration spell happens

as its setup now it only updates itself when it rolls

but it totally shields damage

[scarlet gale]

Doesn't it use your temp HP or something for that?

It would be interesting to get it to work using item uses or a resource value.

[vast bane]

no it uses a resource pool

leaving temp hp free to be modded as well by other features

[scarlet gale]

neat

[winged anchor]

Is that correct? If so Im still not there, sorry for being the dumb its been a long work week 🙂

[vast bane]

yes, cast shield spell using a slot, then roll arcane ward

its not fully automated you have to fire the wards item use after every abjuration spell immediately after

[daring carbon]

Currently doing the same thing. I see you used @details.level. That gets the level of the caster and not of the target, right? Are you doing this out of convenience because all your players have the same level?

[vast bane]

Yes exactly that, I'm sure a pro could make it work in a macro but I really felt it was a needless effort when it really doesn't matter

[daring carbon]

Feeling the same way. Thank you :)

[pseudo turret]

is it enough to disable automatic template effects in TMFX to avoid midi having issues with it?

[vast bane]

yes, but if you have automated animations, you want to uncheck the one right below that too, and then you can use the same exact feature in AA with midi

[pseudo turret]

the show default template when hovering?

[vast bane]

its a really nuanced reason for doing so but just uncheck both of those in tmfx

yeah

its cause Automated animations has the same feature, and it won't work if tmfx has that setting checked, even though it doesn't work if the top feature is off

its a weird nuanced thing that I think Otigan didn't notice about tmfx

[pseudo turret]

great, thanks! I didn't know about this weird interaction

[vast bane]

so bottom line if you really like that hover feature, AA has it, but you have to uncheck it in tmfx even though tmfx is already off generally

[elder path]

Not the king we deserve but we love him Thanks Chris 🙏 👑

[coarse mesa]

Oh Otigon noticed... it's mentioned in the A-A settings

[scarlet gale]

There was a discussion about it awhile back in here.

They got pinged about it IIRC

[vast bane]

yeah but my issue was I turned off the master switch in tmfx instead so I had no clue I needed to check that box too

and the user who just asked about it was doing the same thing

you don't realize it till you can't get AA to work right cause you assume its off cause tmfx is off

[coarse mesa]

I guess TMFX has varying levels of 'off'

[vast bane]

prolly nothing he can do about it other than what hes done

[hot flower]

Absolutely. these are boffo.

[spice kraken]

Chis, you're on a roll with the updates

[scarlet gale]

It's all stuff I'm converting from my personal game, so the macro part is pretty much done. It's just a matter of slightly reconfiguring it for the module.

I'm pretty close to being through all my class features, I still have monster features and items to go.

I have a ton of monster features

[coarse mesa]

WotC is gonna have to pump out more books to keep ahead of you

[molten solar]

It's spicy. Crispy, if you will. Rice Chris Pre(made)s

(i'm sorry)

[scarlet gale]

lol

It helps that I make macro for 4 different DMs. Each with their own set of characters.

My group rotates between DMs and each game has it's own setting and characters

[coarse mesa]

I was gonna say, your game must pretty much run itself

[scarlet gale]

I really dislike manually rolling things.

Pretty much the only thing that gets a manual roll is Silvery Barbs

[coarse mesa]

Yeah that is a tricky one. Would be so fun if you could interrupt with a dialog – 'roll that again, sucker'

[scarlet gale]

The problem is that it would be spammy

Since you can use it on others

not just yourself

So any time someone nearby you gets attacked you can choose to use it.

So any dialogue would just slow things down

[coarse mesa]

yeah I feel like you could make it like an actual reaction – ie. the player using it has to hit it after the attack roll but before damage is resolved... no dialog

but that would be tricky af

and for things like saves etc that are fully automated that's harder

[scarlet gale]

Not something I want to touch, that's up to another module or midi-qol to deal with

[coarse mesa]

yeah pretty niche, from a contentious book

[scarlet gale]

._. Half my players have that spell

[hot flower]

Like the Pally's vigilent guardian, etc.

[coarse mesa]

just listening to CR's Calamity 4-parter and it's flying around a lot lol... we use it but only one PC has it and he hates spending slots

[scarlet gale]

Personally, I'm just a bigger fan of the shield spell and absorb elements

[coarse mesa]

however for this AHD campaign, all our characters have Strixhaven backgrounds for the extra goodies lol

[scarlet gale]

I turned Strixhaven into a magical college in my setting

Used all the teachers and students to fill up the place, but didn't actually go with any of the module story

[coarse mesa]

yeah we just used it as a starting point to get the group together before tackling the Mansion

the actual campaign setting is pretty irrelevant for what we're doing

[sleek pulsar]

Moto, which TMFX template settings step on midi? I'd like to check my set up.

[vast bane]

Hmmm, good point it doesn't have an auto delete, it steps on Automated animations not midi

I will fix my copy/paste

[sleek pulsar]

Cool, thanks. Appreciate the help! 🙂

[vast bane]

any module that auto deletes templates after the cast, can make midi get really confused with template automations

[sleek pulsar]

So, is the best way to let A-A handle template deletions, or midi?

[vast bane]

Midi, otherwise you will start to see midi throw red errors that its trying to do something it can't find anymore and the player sees those messages too

not technically a problem till it kills an overtime effect

midi will sit there wondering wtf happened to its template

but theres a good reason to do it too for you...AA is per item, you have to set them all up to do it, midi is a global setting, no fiddling no individual setup, its always going to manage your templates if you use its feature.

Its the checkbox in this section if you still want AA to do it instead:

in v9 foundry you can't shut it off

[sleek pulsar]

So, if I want to keep it with Midi doing the work, I keep it looking like your screenshot, correct? That's how I have it now.

[vast bane]

yes but you will probably have to go fish out all the latent "delete template" settings in all your individual template/aura automated animations items

@violet meadow Improved Divine Smite in both the midi sample item and Midi SRD just add 1d8 in the effect value, should it not be 1d8[radiant]? (Also it prolly doesn't need to be in midi srd if tposney has it in the samples)

Though maybe he prefers the srd stuff get moved to midi srd instead /shrug

[scarlet gale]

I feel like that feature could be done with build a bonus more cleanly, depending on how the feature is worded

[vast bane]

that would then make it require 1 more module though

as it stands now it doesn't require any module fwiw

[scarlet gale]

fair

[vast bane]

well other than midi

I think I'm right though on the missing flavor, I assume that key can take flavors

if theres no flavor I think it couts as the weapons damage type

[scarlet gale]

I think it just picks whatever was to the left of it

I've never actually tested it

It'll allow flavors in the key

[vast bane]

I'm prepping the level 11 level ups for the players as they are likely hitting 11 on sunday and noticed both versions of Improved Divine Smite like that

[scarlet gale]

Anyone remember where the setting is for ability checks to not have the pop-up dialogue?

It's happening on my test world, but not my normal game and I already imported my midi-qol settings...

Found it, it's not in the workflow settings

[vast bane]

workflow is for attacks ;p

Beginning at 10th level, you can add your Intelligence modifier to one damage roll of any wizard evocation spell you cast.

Is this possible with babonus?

[scarlet gale]

Easily

[vast bane]

guessing it needs a custom script?

cause all I see is spell, not evocation spell

[molten solar]

spell school filter

[vast bane]

ok, figured it out, but for the record, lighting something up red kinda means stop to me so I thought I had to do this:

[scarlet gale]

what

[vast bane]

apparently its the other way around lol

[molten solar]

...

[sleek pulsar]

ummm 😂

[vast bane]

should this go on an active effect or can it be on the feature itself?

[molten solar]

bab don care

could slap it on a template and use token attacher

[scarlet gale]

I would put it on the feature, less effects is probably a better idea.

[molten solar]

or actor

[vast bane]

nice thanks guys sorry for the dummy move there lol

[molten solar]

I'd be with you on "red = stop" if it wasn't the only color used for activation throughout the entirety of foundry

[coarse mesa]

purple is 'on' for toggles in the control tools fwiw... they're kinda toggles?

it's a stretch

[molten solar]

That's just a shade of red

[coarse mesa]

Nice red name ya got there

[molten solar]

I am Atro's alt account

[coarse mesa]

That makes so much sense... the anti-module modulist

[violet meadow]

Yes I think it needs the damage flavor.

I am back from a deep dive into SIFT! It now seems to work for me 😄

[vast bane]

You pullin a 4535992 and trying to rescue all the modules hehe?

[violet meadow]

I was using that quite a lot!

[vast bane]

what feature was important?

[violet meadow]

Texture on templates, no hightlight grid etc

[vast bane]

AA does that now doesn't it?

[violet meadow]

It kind of does yes, but there was an issue someone had before, I don't remember now what 🤷

[gilded yacht]

Should be easy enough to trigger both. The timing of the trigger could be an issue - it first on the hook combat.preupdate and and so could fire while the rest of the update is happening - since the macro execution is async and the preUpdate is not timing is unpredictable, at best.

[coarse mesa]

Why don't you just world script the bit you need? I pretty much had it installed for one setting too, but gave it up in the v10 update

This mildly plays into my idea for extending TM slightly but I don't think Zhell wants to know 😅

[vast bane]

Oh Chris I think I know how to solve the overtimes and only one status/macro.ce/macro.cub. you can use a macro to remove the others and have them as seperate ae's

[scarlet gale]

I considered making my own way to "fix" it.

By having the macros apply conditions instead of macro.ce

[vast bane]

I was thinkin make macros for each default condition

[scarlet gale]

nah

You can just use an effect creation and effect removed trigger from effect macros

It's just a lot of work

[vast bane]

oooooh

[scarlet gale]

And less easy to detect with my condition advantage implementation

[vast bane]

ok yeah that makes it easier actually

then I don't have to make all of them I can just have a template to dump into em

[scarlet gale]

The real issue is solving what happens when multiple effects give the same condition

[vast bane]

you can't have both

[scarlet gale]

I guess I could just let you have multiple conditions

Why not? Only spell effects can't overlap

[vast bane]

I think that falls under the similar effects rule

[scarlet gale]

no reason you can't be charm monster'ed and charm person

[vast bane]

oh good point yeah that gets messy, I'd just still use it myself lol

[coarse mesa]

most effects in 5E aren't numeric so it probably won't come up much

[scarlet gale]

I have ideas about it

Like making the condition origin the effect instead of the spell

Something I'll mess with in my module one day

But first to finish porting everything I have over

Ideally, this should just be fixed on a core level with the 5e system

And let us flag spells as applying certain conditions

Part of me just wants to go down the rabbit hole of adding my own properties to items similar to the midi-qol properties section

[coarse mesa]

That's starting to sound like Rule Elements in PF2E... I have a vague understanding of it but it sounds really powerful

Are you familiar with that?

[scarlet gale]

nope ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[coarse mesa]

Here's the 'short version'... it's interesting to see what can be learned from other systems anyway imo https://github.com/foundryvtt/pf2e/wiki/Quickstart-guide-for-rule-elements

[scarlet gale]

Wouldn't need to be as complicated, but it makes sense that system has a good way to handle it

[violet meadow]

Nah not doable with a world script for the most part 🤷

[violet meadow]

Are you flagging conditions to roll with advantage ?

[scarlet gale]

I'm listening in on all workflows and sneakily adding a effect to give advantage to the person about to make a save if they have the proper flag set.

If your curious: https://github.com/chrisk123999/chris-premades/blob/master/scripts/macros/mechanics/conditionResistance/conditionResistance.js

For example, if the target actor has the right flag, say for advantage vs charms. It'll slap an effect on them to give them advantage.

And I'm detecting the condition via reading the effect properties of the item that's being rolled

Not ideal, but it works

Editing the workflow directly wasn't working for me when I first made this like a year go

[violet meadow]

Yeah I am working around this by hooking on the various preRolls and adding (dis)/advantage based on flags or even just plain description on Items or names of Items on the rolling Actor

[scarlet gale]

My "simple" fix would be to have the items have their own boxes to get checked, similar to weapon properties or midi-qol properties

That way I don't need to dig around the effects

[vast bane]

My solution is advantage reminder 🙂

[violet meadow]

I am off two minds. Either making a compendium with some SRD Items with the proper flags already set to work together with my module or hardcoding specific ones in the module.
And adding an interface to check what's on and add or delete accordingly for extra sauce,

[scarlet gale]

That's your solution to everything

[vast bane]

It is quite easy hehe

[scarlet gale]

If we both wind up doing the same thing, we should just match our flags for it

Or we could try to get it pulled into the actual dnd system lol

It makes no sense that there isn't an actor field for condition resistance

[violet meadow]

Yeah something like that would make sense

[scarlet gale]

and a way to mark items as doing said conditions

[violet meadow]

Until then I am hardcoding under an extended conditions setting all the relevant Racial Features (SRD), like Dwarven Resilience etc 🤷

[scarlet gale]

makes sense

It's a low-priority thing for me since I always configure my things to make use of macro.ce

So it's easy enough to look for effects with that key set

I may attempt to make my own way to tie conditions to another effect so it works more cleanly then macro.ce

macro.ce doesn't play nice with multiple effects applying the same condition

[violet meadow]

I end up changing the default to not duplicate based on name instead of origin

I suppose that would actually be better as a default to the CEs 🤷

[scarlet gale]

That reminds me
