MidiQOL

[scarlet gale]

If you need an example for how I'm using it, this is a good one: https://github.com/chrisk123999/chris-premades/blob/master/scripts/macros/classFeatures/warlock/undead/graveTouched.js

[strong yew]

ah crap, actually shouldn't be doing it exactly like this

[scarlet gale]

Why's that?

[strong yew]

it's rerolling the attack rather than just updating the damage type

dice says 6, actually does 1 since I'm rerolling

[scarlet gale]

do you use dice so nice?

Cause otherwise you and the player would never know

[strong yew]

I do in fact lol

[scarlet gale]

ah

Yea, setDamageRoll doesn't play nice with dice so nice

You can probably copy the damageRoll and edit each section

then do setDamageRoll to the edited on

but that's a whole lot of work

[strong yew]

Ah, is the type set in a bunch of different places?

[scarlet gale]

each term has the flavor marked

In reality, it just needs to be fixed on Midi-Qol's end to not do the dice so nice roll until after the postDamageRoll workflow has been processed.

I mentioned it to Tposney like a week or two ago after someone brought this up with me (and my module)

[strong yew]

I guess this is just going to have to work for now

At least mechanically it's working

[scarlet gale]

yea, it's just a visual issue

If you can find where midi-qol runs the dice so nice api function

you can likely move it around locally

I don't use dice so nice personally, so it hasn't been an issue in my game

Also, for savage attacker, don't use the item name as the 2nd argument for the queue function, do something like "savageAttacker"

[strong yew]

will do

last question, unrelated, don't suppose you know what's needed to discard a template immediately after casting do you?

[scarlet gale]

You can make an effect to do it

[vast bane]

should be automatic outside combat and leaves after the turn in combat

[scarlet gale]

If it's something with a longer duration it won't do it after the turn

And not everything with a long duration needs to keep the template down

[scarlet gale]

let effectData = {
    'label': 'Remove Template',
    'icon': this.item.img,
    'changes': [
        {
            'key': 'flags.dae.deleteUuid',
            'mode': 5,
            'priority': 20,
            'value': this.templateUuid
        }
    ],
    'duration': {
        'seconds': 1
    }
};
 await chrisPremades.helpers.createEffect(this.actor, effectData);```

You'll just need to find the templateDocument

it should be part of the midi workflow arguments

Edit the above, midi just has the template uuid lol

You can slap this as an item macro on anything that needs to get it's template removed after the turn but the duration is longer than a turn

say for example hypnotic pattern

[hasty jackal]

Im having issues, for some reason the damage just applies automatic w/o asking for a reaction from my players

only for them, i can use reactions normally

[scarlet gale]

Check your reaction settings in the midi workflow settings

Maybe you have the timeout set too low?

[vast bane]

make sure the reaction is not reaction manual

[scarlet gale]

That too

[vast bane]

reactions only prompt for the victim of a spell

or attack

[hasty jackal]

this is how i have my reactions workflow

[vast bane]

reaction on player that should have prompted

details tab

and what are you doing to prompt it, attack what?

[hasty jackal]

just a normal attack

it works for NPCs like a mage npc using shield or a clay soldier using parry

weird...he created a test reaction and it works but no shield

[vast bane]

its a reaction manual shield probably

[hasty jackal]

yeah i reimported it

weird

the SRD version doesnt work it seems

even with the "reaction pre attack roll" toggle

[scarlet gale]

You want it set to just reaction

for stuff like shield

[hasty jackal]

welp im dumb, my player didnt set the spell as prepared

so the program didnt count it as a spell

[vast bane]

SRD shield has the effect suspended

Midi does not like suspended effects

you should not use SRD spells from dnd5e system

use Midi SRD

[hasty jackal]

yeah i noticed, at least i fixed it thanks c:

[molten solar]

Bab's next update will support ability checks if you're looking for a simple implementation of Pass without Trace

[scarlet gale]

Oh nice

I thought you were waiting for the next dnd system update?

[chrome island]

Quick question - i've got my rolling for weapons and things set up, other than the fact there is no description, which is a bit awkward with some spells and items etc. is there any way to make it display the description as well? can't seem to find it if so

[spice kraken]

Now this is V9 but what do you have your setting as here?

Or you have this selected in system settings

[molten solar]

Not if it's gonna drop after v11 which it's looking like

[zealous tiger]

sorry if this is well known, im new to foundry, i have Let Me Roll That For You for save roll prompts in my MidiQOL workflow, but I also installed monks tokenbar afterwards to use with active tiles, and having two roll prompting modules is a bit superfluous, so I wanted to check if tokenbar is working with MidiQOL atm? because I saw some things on reddit abt it not working and idk if its been worked out or not, and my game is tomorrow

[short aurora]

If you haven't found out already, the answer to 1 is in workflow settings > Mechanics. I don't get your second question, what kind of icons when your characters cast spells? Icons tends to be to show the actor/token is affected by an effect.

[idle stag]

Hey! Anyone knows why for some range attacks (shortbow on rogue) on really close distance disadvantage applies? I don't understand what's wrong. Here is screen. Midiqol of the last version, foundry v10

[fiery torrent]

When a PC casts a concentration spell like haste, the haste icon will show up on their token and it doesnt go away when concentration ends

[idle stag]

I also use Simbuls cover calc

I have tested with ranger's longbow and it was fine on normal distance and correct on long

[short aurora]

Yeah, that doesn't smack of intended behaviour, does this also happen when you only have midi and dependencies on?

[short aurora]

Does it only happen for you against that token particular token or also other medium sized tokens?

[idle stag]

Medium size also, but I will double check right now

same dis

Ok, nvm, one of the conditions were not shown at all
Anyway thanks!

[snow quarry]

Good morning! Any idea why when using DAE / MIDIQoL / CUB when applying a condition on hit it shows TWO conditions, as opposed to one? Ideally on a failed save it should just show the 'shocked' condition.

[short aurora]

The macro.CUB and macro.CE keys are intended when you have an effect that does something on its' own but also you'd like to add a condition from either of the module and "link them" (if you remove one, you remove the other). In the case of CUB here, I think you want StatusEffect instead? Should only add the condition from CUB and nothing else.

I think that's the equal to adding the condition on the token manually, so unsure how that works with duration and whatnot

[fiery torrent]

nope

it doesnt even put the status icon on

[snow quarry]

Per usual, you are a genius!

[short aurora]

You're not able to apply effects at all with just Midi and dependencies? DAE + Midi + socketlib + libwrapper? Have you enabled application of effects in midi's settings under workflow -> specials?

[fiery torrent]

no its set to "Don't auto apply effects"

[short aurora]

Right, it sounds like you have a little module overlap. If you want Midi to take care of your effect application and concentration, you want that option toggled on, and then also the concentration options in the concentration tab. It sounds like you had another module also doing something similar, which was presumably the one adding the spell icon to the caster too

[fiery torrent]

currently CUB is handling that yea

[short aurora]

I do believe midi and CUB can cooperate in that regard, but that still leaves you without Midi handling the effect transferral, do you have a third module for that? I don't think CUB handles it

[fiery torrent]

i'll have to check, would automated animations do that?

[short aurora]

No clue, only use Midi myself there. You can use a module like Find the Culprit to try and find whatever module's creating the icon error for you, but if you're not aware what your modules do for you, it might be time to have a look at your module list in general :p

[fiery torrent]

looks like its Dynamic effects using active effects

[short aurora]

That's part of Midi's dependencies, that should have been active when you were testing before, so that should not be the cause of the icon being added to the caster.

[fiery torrent]

looks like it only happens when someone casts a spell that puts an aoe template on the ground, and turning off DAE made it stop happening

[short aurora]

Midi handles templates' expiry by placing an effect named <spell template> on the caster and then removes it, when the template is no longer relevant. Is this actually what you're seeing?

Is the effect named <name> template?

I had an inkling it could be that but you mentioned Haste, and it has no template...

[flat gazelle]

@scarlet gale I hope it is okay that I pinged you, but sometimes there are certain spell animations that do not play on a player with dark ones blessing and I get following info in the console log. This still occurs if I tone it down to just the "required" Modules. It seems to affect all animations that are not template based or targeted like eldritch blast or weapon attacks

[fiery torrent]

yep

its just not removing the templates

[short aurora]

Right, install and enable the Simple Calendar module. About Time, one of Midi's dependencies, needs it, and it hasn't been added as a dependency it seems

[fiery torrent]

ok i installed it but it still doesnt remove the icon when the template is deleted or when the concentration icon is removed

or when the character fails a concentration check

[short aurora]

Which spell and when you say template is deleted, do you mean automatically or when you delete it manually?

[fiery torrent]

im testing it out with web

and yes, manually deleting the template on the map, not the icon on the actor

deleting the template from the character, does automatically delete the measured template

just not the other way around

[short aurora]

Right, it's a one-way relationship. That effect is there for Midi to handle the template deletion for you, it will not be removed by you manually deleting the template. Let me check how it works with a Concentration template spell.

(worth noting you can delete the attached template by deleting the effect)

[fiery torrent]

yea, but i use monsterblocks so getting to the effect portion of npc sheets requires sheet swapping, and going into effect section of the char sheet every time to remove it is a pain

[short aurora]

That's how midi handles template expiry. You can ask if they can change the feature to be a two-way relationship instead on the module's github?

All that aside, I actually don't see a spell template effect on concentration spells, so I assume it's because you're using CUB as the concentration module instead and that's not something I can help with.

[fiery torrent]

thx, i'll see if swapping from cub to midi concentrator fixes it

[native rivet]

I can't get the first lvl shield spell, from the midi srd to work. can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, but the spell ultimately does nothing.

Tried disabling "transfer to actor on equip" and "effect suspended" but it changes nothing :/

thing is... what I'm looking at right now, is the default version.

[short aurora]

Sounds like a pitfall with the Reactions settings, if you're expecting to be prompted to cast it when an attack hits you at least. Can you take a picture of them and show here?

[strong yew]

what module do you guys use for targeting?

[native rivet]

but even casting the spell normally appears to do nothing

[short aurora]

Even the SRD shield spell from core dnd5e should work if you toggle off transfer to actor on equip and un-suspend the effect, do you have these settings on in midi?

[native rivet]

Just making tea, give me a sec... I don't think I touched anything, but massive I clicked a preset by mistake

[short aurora]

If this is related to your question in dnd5e, I don't think it's possible to target a creature that's hidden with the system's visibility function (the button on the token that looks like this ) regardless of module

I know dnd5e the tabletop quasi-allows you to attack an invisible target, but system wise I don't think it exists for someone who can't see it, once that button is used

[native rivet]

Easy target allows it under a template, I think?

[native rivet]

That was it!

Thanks a ton mate

was going daft trying to figure out what had changed

[vast bane]

in the options you can turn on attribution, its right below the hide details at the top of the tab with export/import midi settings. However, this is so obvious to me that I'm willing to bet the bank on it. Your issue is that the attacker or victim has no sight settings setup, so midi is awarding disadvantage due to the hidden property. This new flag for midi is impossible to see unless you turn on attribution.

Oh I suppose since you are new here, it could also be that you have ready set roll or retroactive advantage installed too

[scarlet gale]

Could you give me an example of a spell or feature that's doing that?

[flat gazelle]

yes!

Spells that only have an animation and no effect: Counterspell, Dispel Magic
Spells that have animation + a linked effect/change actor values: Misty Step, Fly, Spirit Shroud

[scarlet gale]

Added an undefined check that should solve it.

It'll be in the next update.

What causes that first error to happen for you out of curiosity?

As it doesn't look like an error in my module...

[flat gazelle]

thanks!

I have no clue, I tried to replicate it just now and could not. really really weird. I sadly forgot to note down the spell the first time around

And when I went through all this time, only the second one occured

[scarlet gale]

Just pushed an update that should help with it

[flat gazelle]

thank you very much!

[scarlet gale]

Let me know if it doesn't resolve it

[flat gazelle]

worked like a charm!

[plain aurora]

Hello! I just installed Midi Qol last night and I'm going through character sheets to make sure their features are working as intended.
I'm having an issue with some reactions - 'Hadozee Dodge' and 'Sentinel at Death's Door'.
Sentinel aDD is displaying as a reaction when the player receives a hit and does not negate the crit.
Hadozee dodge displays correctly when hit but does not reduce the damage received.

Is there a setting I need to change for these to function as intended?

[scarlet gale]

Unless you've gone out of your way to configure them they won't do anything special

The negate crit one should be doable with the right midi flag as an effect on it

[plain aurora]

Would this be found at the bottom of the feature Detail page?

[scarlet gale]

No, you'll need to make an effect on the feature

First pin in here has a link to the midi-qol documentation

You'll want the immune to crits flag as well as setting the special duration for reaction

[unreal bolt]

Having a Midi QOL issue... Auto damage applies on ranged and melee attacks, but it's not working on Spells. Am I missing a setting?

[scarlet gale]

What's your midi version?

[unreal bolt]

Mine?

[scarlet gale]

Yep

[unreal bolt]

10.0.35

[scarlet gale]

Errors in console when you attack with a spell?

[strong yew]

So I have a player playing soulknife rogue

noticed in foundry, if I have the auto-disadvantage on ranged attacks within 5ft, it's applying them to his psy daggers too

even though they are melee or ranged

any way around that?

[short aurora]

Pretty sure Midi just looks at what kind of attack it's doing, what do you have his daggers set to?

Action type, I mean - ranged weapon attack, ranged spell attack etc.

[strong yew]

Looks like they import from ddbimporter as ranged weapon attacks

[short aurora]

I have found your culprit

[strong yew]

can I set it to melee but still have it be 60ft?

[short aurora]

Sure, there's Reach weapons and stuff so it's not limited (don't put Reach on it, just an example)

[strong yew]

huh, thanks. Thought that would interfere somehow

[short aurora]

Looking at the feature, I would probably make a melee and a ranged version.

[unreal bolt]

Let me clear my console and try. I'll post back.

[short aurora]

Seems like it's sometimes intended to be thrown

[jagged bear]

What's the best way to make an ability target each token within 10 feet of the token that used the ability, excluding the originating token? I've tried almost every combination in the target & range fields without success; is this squarely in macro territory right now?

[short aurora]

It's Special you want in one of those two fields, I always forget which one

... that seems to have changed

[jagged bear]

oh yeah damn, before the template has been placed, it targets the originator, but once placed only everyone else is targeted

[short aurora]

Ah yeah, I get that too. I swear there used to be two fields you could put Special in, but guess it's just Range now. 😄

[jagged bear]

yep lol

[plain aurora]

I'm trying to put a tokenMagic macro on an actor so it always appears as spectral. What's the best way to do this. I've created a passive 'Active Effect' but I'm not sure how to get it working.

[vast bane]

if it is a base tmfx filter, you can use the key macro.tokenMagic in a dae. If it needs to be custom, use the module mass edit to make a custom tmfx filter a default filter and then use the same macro.tokenMagic key, your new ones will be at the bottom.

alternatively you can use effect macro to on creation/on deltion the filter but you need to figure out how to adapt it to effect macro and I personnally do not like args on/off and effect macro on/off macros that mod tokens, they almost always wind up misaligned somehow and you have to delete the token to reset them.

plus macros don't mod all tokens of said actor, just that token

[plain aurora]

It is a tmfx - spectral-body effect. I'm having trouble getting it to run the macro. Is there something I need to specify in the duration page?

[inland vortex]

is there an automation for aura of vitality?

[vast bane]

I have one but its hard to share, I hope CPR has one so I don't have to lol

[inland vortex]

let me see if he does in the module

[vast bane]

he doesn't

[inland vortex]

poop

[vast bane]

aura of vitality is best done as a temp item you give via macro.createitem

oh shit actually my aura of vitality is a warpgate macro so it is actually shareable

since when do I do warpgate macros lol

[queen raptor]

I'm messing with Activation Conditions and just looking for a very simple one: The item should roll 1d10 and on a result of 4 or higher the effect is applied. I've tried "[[1d10]] >= 4" which rolls the die but seems to apply the effect irrespective of the result, and I've tried "1d10 >= 4" which doesn't seem to work.

[vast bane]

did you check the box on the bottom of item details?

[inland vortex]

where do you find the itemMacro code section?

[queen raptor]

Yes

[vast bane]

install ItemMacro module, go into the modules settings and TURN OFF character sheet hooks, then you should start seeing the item macro button on the top of the items

like the dae wrench

[inland vortex]

ok

[short aurora]

Can you evaluate rolls in Activation Condition? Doesn't the item keep on rolling?

[vast bane]

The item macro is meant to launch via aura of vitality dae:

my aura of vitality hasn't been used since dnd5e 2.1.x so who knows what versions have done to this macro

but its mostly warpgate so I bet you its resilient

[queen raptor]

I suppose that's my real question 😅 Can this work as an activation condition? It rolls the die but it doesn't seem to do anything with the result, it just goes "yup, that's true, applying effect"

[vast bane]

the roll needs to be in the roll formulas and you need to reference the items roll in the condition

[queen raptor]

I see

[vast bane]

bugbear has an example and there are numerous sample items that reference the roll

think any sample item with something on a nat 20

sword of sharpness/lifestealing

bugbears condition examples are in the pin here in the wiki

[queen raptor]

Yeah I'm looking at the example conditions right now

[vast bane]

Longsword of life stealing in midi sample items

[queen raptor]

It can reference something in the Other Rolls field, right? I don't want this applying any actual damage, and the feature doesn't include an attack roll

[vast bane]

can't hurt to try

you can also do a damage roll that deals "no damage"

or "none"

[short aurora]

you can execute js in that field...

[vast bane]

yeah he had to put in a fix cause the dnd5e default reactions all had "which" as the leading word in the fluff activation condition fields lol

it was causing js errors

apparently which is a key word for some language

[queen raptor]

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but entering it as a No Damage roll and trying to call it that way doesn't seem to do much.

[short aurora]

What is the feature supposed to do, actually? Do @attributes.super.die in damage if you roll above a 4 on a 1d10?

[vast bane]

Midi does not work with:

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

Concentration conflicts:
Concentration Notifier Module
Combat Utility Belt Concentrator

The following modules have template settings that step on midi:
Spell Template Manager

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.

If you are on dnd5e 2.1.x update to 2.1.5 and you can run the newest midi/dae/dfreds ce

Dfreds CE 4.0 requires midi 32+ and dae 22+.

Midi now requires sight to be setup on all monsters or the players will get unseen attacker advantage.

[inland vortex]

after i use aura of vitalty should an icon show up that lets me do the 2d6 healing each round?

[vast bane]

they are using our cousins system sw5e which works with midi

so their system calls are different than ours

[short aurora]

It's honestly pretty similar, but I'm curious what canaryman actually wants to happen when that feature is rolled

[queen raptor]

No. The player activates this ability (manually, at their choice) if they happen to roll a critical hit. The feature will maximize the damage of the critical hit (using the prepared Effect) if they roll a 4 or higher on their superiority die.

[vast bane]

does your system actually call a superiority die?

[queen raptor]

It can and does.

[vast bane]

cause @attributes.super.die does nothing in 5e

[queen raptor]

I'm using it in his other maneuvers as regular damage

But this one just needs to check the super die for a result

[vast bane]

for us in 5e, we have to make scale values

[queen raptor]

We have those too

Have to mod DAE to read them right >.>

[vast bane]

ok well I think you need to reference the damage formula instead of the roll

its looking for an attack roll

but I don't think bugbear has given us an example of that

maybe try damageRoll?

[queen raptor]

I did.

[short aurora]

So it needs to fetch this die and roll it, then evaluate it. HMMM.

[vast bane]

could do it all in macros but it should be doable in the acivation condition, we just don't have the keywrod for that roll

[queen raptor]

I can also manually set it the die I suppose but I assumed since it read elsewhere it can read here

[short aurora]

Maybe, let me check the doc

[queen raptor]

I'm not unwilling to do a macro solution if one is available but I also figured this was what Activation Conditions were for

[vast bane]

@violet meadow can Canaryman do this with an activation condition? They wanna roll a special die and have something apply if the value is equal to or higher, and the condition from the sword of life stealing is not cutting it, pun intended.

I might suggest going with the pure dice equation at first just cause you are technically using a sw5e specific call and that could be an issue

use the attribute after you get it working to see if it works

[scarlet gale]

That looks simple enough to make. I'll add it to my list

[vast bane]

pretty sure my item macro I shared is just plagerizing Badgers warpgate wiki

[scarlet gale]

Probably

Mine would also just be warpgate to add the item to use

[vast bane]

cause I'm no pro at macros and was pleasantly surprised it was not a macro.createitem when I went to show them it lol

yeah that one is very CPR esque I think

though I think its making the item from scratch not warping in an existing one

[queen raptor]

Nothing doing 😦 But thanks for trying

[scarlet gale]

Yea, I'm willing to bet I'm the only person using a compendium to pull temp items from.

[vast bane]

I pinged bugbear, hes the guru on conditions and he did type for a bit here so hes probably sussin things out on his end

[scarlet gale]

For warpgate item data

[queen raptor]

All good, will appreciate additional insight if he has any but no pressure.

[short aurora]

Try slapping a ._total at the end there, e.g. workflow.damageRoll._total >=4

[vast bane]

I feel like _anything is very naughty usually?

[short aurora]

badboys for life

[scarlet gale]

99% of the time yes

Use total

[queen raptor]

Didn't seem to work unfortunately

[vast bane]

total would also take into account modifiers but I don't think that formula has any fwiw

[short aurora]

is it rolling your super die for you? It seems to work for me just fine

[queen raptor]

I even set it to a flat 1d10 instead of calling the super die

[short aurora]

Whoops, throw a @ in front

@workflow.damageRoll.total >= 4

[queen raptor]

Oh

.total?

[short aurora]

.total but that should have worked there, too

[vast bane]

_anything is usually naughty to do outside of the console itself

[queen raptor]

Nope again

[vast bane]

shouldn't there be a space after the >=?

don't spaces matter in evaluations?

[queen raptor]

Didn't change anything.

[short aurora]

I am starting to think the evaluation is not the problem here

Because that works yonder dnd5e side

[vast bane]

I bet you its the settings

theres 2 settings for it in damage in workflow tab

but they are on sw5e so their location and settings might be different

theres two drop downs about activation conditions in there somewhere

[short aurora]

I mean we can just test if it's the activation, put it to 1. That evaluates true.

[vast bane]

empty also evaluates true

is there an actual active effect?

I want to see the first tab of the active effect

[vast bane]

I suspect the self box is checked

ah HAH

do I get a cookie?

uncheck that box

those two self boxes are very misleading

[queen raptor]

the boxes...betrayed me? 😭

[vast bane]

you want standard effect transfer, so the item details dictates self. Those two boxes are when you target something but want something to affect self too

they get alot of people mixed up

[queen raptor]

Perfect

Solved

[vast bane]

its workin?

[queen raptor]

Thank you

[vast bane]

woot

[queen raptor]

My player and I very much appreciate it, all 👍

Now...

to figure out how to do the other half of the ability that minimizes damage if he gets a 3 or lower <.<

(jk I'm not even touching that stuff)

[vast bane]

I think thats macro territory

[queen raptor]

So do I

[vast bane]

also it'd be the opposite of beacon of hope/circle of mortality that CPR does

[queen raptor]

Noted for when/if I decide to look into completing it

[scarlet gale]

World script territory probably

[inland vortex]

how do you get spells that are in a magic item to show up in your spellbook? we have a wand of fireballs that makes the fireball spell show up, useable, in the spellbook, but none of our other magic items are doing that

[scarlet gale]

Screenshot the magic item part?

If the player doesn't normally have spells you may need to add a dummy one to get the tab to show up. That may try be a tidy issue however

[vast bane]

Magic Items Module tends to suffer from a severe lack of compatibility with alot of modules including midiqol, you should use items with spells module in v10

Also the wand of fireballs requires attunement, so thats probably the mistake you are making with either module.

afaik items with spells doesn't care about attunement though so they should still populate.

or maybe it doesn't care about equipping I forget

[inland vortex]

ok

is there a version of shambling mound or blight that makes the monster roll it's save with disadvantage and take full damage on a fail?

[vast bane]

I can think of a janky way, but one of the macro gurus can do it less janky

Two items, first applies disadvantage on the next con save, second item is blight/shambling mound attack

have the disadvantage part be contingent on an activation condition if its a plant right?

So I don't like how I always typo my overtimes so I'm making a document to copy/paste them from and I'll share it here momentarily.

[scarlet gale]

I always just lookup my hold person spell and edit from there lol

I can never remember the parameters

[vast bane]

yeah thats my point here, cause not every spell or example has every option so my point is to make a cut and paste easier and rule out user error

if I had a nickle fore very time I capitalized a T in true I'd be rich

but fwiw those errors in the console are burned into my brain I can immediately tell its that

[short aurora]

That whole roll with disadvantage if you're a certain type is a pretty neat automation thing, is there an example of that out there? I can't think of a way to do it "clean"

[vast bane]

Midi Overtime helper copy/paste.

Any line that starts with a // is default and doesn't need to be entered.
I designed the last entry to not have a comma as its the label, which is always present, so you should paste it in last because the final line should not have a comma.
Each grouping are choices, only use 1 choice in each overtime effect.

yall might wanna bookmark this ⬆️

@gilded yacht I know you are on vacation, but in the overtime documentation it is not clear whether something is default or not for a few, so if you look at my document here above, if any of the // lines are not the defaults for a type let me know but I kinda sussed out they were based on the behavior when they are absent. Specifically rollMode, damageBeforeSave, and actionSave.

#1010273821401555087 message

I'm trying to automate the boneless creature in the house of lament. Its two different overtimes and I dunno how to remove both on success? I actually have the first one having no way to remove it, so if I put the second overtime in the same ae, would it remove both?

can you have 2 overtimes in the same ae?

[scarlet gale]

One way to find out

[vast bane]

yeah will check back shortly 8)

can you reference the creatures mods in the damage roll?

1d4 + @mod?

isn't it in dae that I have to use # and ## for them?

[vast bane]

to the best of my understanding the answer is no, but I also think maybe I horribly misunderstood what actionSave is meant to do

because when I set an overtime to actionSave it does NOTHING when said save is made manually and succeeds.

actually think I found a conflicting module

[vast bane]

Ok couple of things. First off, you cannot use actionSave with turn=end.

Secondly, you cannot combine two overtimes because actionSave is always resolved first.

[tranquil cloak]

what does the "Allow normal Critical" option do? does that just allow there to be threshold and nat20 crits

[vast bane]

yer gonna need to give us alot more context

[tranquil cloak]

its an option in midi

in the rules section

was wondering what it does?

[vast bane]

you mean the optional rules?

[tranquil cloak]

yeah

[vast bane]

ok yeah, I believe the normal crit rules work on top of threshold yes, so a 20, or in rare setups lower, a crit can still occur

you don't need that checked if you aren't using the margin rule above it

[tranquil cloak]

oky doky

thank you

[vast bane]

The answer to this question is to not use @mod but instead use @abilities.whatever.mod

[strong yew]

Anyone ever set a custom AC fomula for a character? Trying to figure out the format

[vast bane]

you'd get a better answer in #dnd5e I don't remember off the top of my head the two keys needed for it, but the guys in dnd5e would.

turn=start,
damageRoll=10,
damageType=healing,
rollMode=gmroll,
condition=@attributes.hp.value > 0 && @attributes.hp.value < @attributes.hp.max,
label=Undo heal if they took radiant damage this round.

With the change to midiqol recently, you can now whisper regeneration rolls but he never updated the sample item to reflect that. I added a label and the whisper to it above. Use as you wish.

Wow, mind blown, it never occurred to me to search CPR monster features for identical features, i was searching by monster name

[scarlet gale]

If you find any that can be copied over to other monsters let me know

[vast bane]

Turn Immunity just got dragged to Revenant

[inland vortex]

yes

Are there working verions of a dancing sword? I'm guessing it should be similar to spiritual weapon

[vast bane]

dancing sword is hittable so no

[inland vortex]

ah

[vast bane]

I'd make an actor called dancing sword with a stat block and warpgate it in like spiritual weapon though

[inland vortex]

i have the spiritual weapon as type No Target and listed as immune to everything, and it still takes aoe damage

[vast bane]

I think it ssuppose to be NoTarget and are you sure it actually takes damage?

is it 0(#) in the damage card?

[inland vortex]

if it (or any actors at 0 HP) are in AoE spells the game freaks out and gives me about 100 error messages

Yep, it takes damage

[vast bane]

show me the damage card in chat

[inland vortex]

not sure how

[vast bane]

and no creature at 0 hp should be targeted fyi

[inland vortex]

and yet...

i thought i had every place there was a choice to ignore incapacitated actor marked

[vast bane]

the simplest way is tto printscreen, then paste into mspaint and select tool it over with ctrl c/ctrlv. The neater way is to use the snippet tool from windows 8+, which is windows key +shift+S

snippeting the damage card in chat for the spiritual weapon taking damage would help, but also snippeting those errors you speak of would too

[vast bane]

show me the sheet for the spiritual weapon assuming its the top one there and not the bottom one

cause the bottom one took no damage fyi

[inland vortex]

top one

[vast bane]

thats an overzealous error message for an npc reaching zero

I don't know what I'm looking at

none of the creatures that took damage were reduced to 0, why would an actor be incapcitated?

does the effect do that?

[inland vortex]

Getting rid of the space made NoTarget work

Is there a wa to get rid of the overzealous error when an npc is down and gets aoe on it?

[vast bane]

exclude them from targetting like my image above?

#1010273821401555087 message

its a midi 35 problem fyi, so you could also downgrade to 33

but then you'd have to disable CPR or downgrade CPR to .90 and undo any changes you had done to it

its not an error, its just a warning alerting you that targets were incapcitated

[inland vortex]

is the targetting pic you shared part of midiqol?

[vast bane]

its the very top of workflow tab of midi's workflow button

[inland vortex]

100 alerts seems a bit much

ty

[vast bane]

100 alerts seems like you have a really large amount of creatures on a map 8)

creatures that are already at 0 hp or have the incapcitated conditions?

[inland vortex]

i set midiqol workflow to look like yours. one creature at 0 gives me roughly 100 alerts. maybe only 50. idk, but a lot for a long time

the alerts start once i hot the cast spell button, before i even place the template, if there is an actor at zero nearby

[vast bane]

ok then my question to this whole channel, is if midi 35 does this as Philip says, how come nobody else is complaining about it lol?

that seems broken to me

[inland vortex]

if the 0 hp actor is out of spell range, i don't get the warnings

[vast bane]

I don't know how to troubleshoot your issue, I have midi 35 installed and do not see this

[inland vortex]

but i get them if he's in range, even before i lay down the template

i don't think the players see it, only the DM

[scarlet gale]

I noticed it with stuff that uses the special range feature

[vast bane]

got it

found it and yep, highly recommend downgrading to midi 33, and that means you prolly have to live with this bug for weeks if you already integrated CPR post v90

I just upgraded and I'm downgrading this is too obnoxious to deal with in a live session

[scarlet gale]

Or just comment out the line that yells at you

[vast bane]

basic fireball spams the log file worse than simbuls cover calculator

[scarlet gale]

When I'm home I can find the exact line

[vast bane]

Its not just the warning, it does a white message too, the yellows are just more often

[scarlet gale]

Can you expand one of the orange ones?

[vast bane]

I just uninstalled but Philip can share one of his I'm sure

I only updated to see his error message for myself

[vast bane]

f12 and expand one of them in the console

[scarlet gale]

I'll find the line when I'm home for anyone interested

[vast bane]

@violet meadow does the official release of v10 midiSRD require midi 34+?

[scarlet gale]

Isn't 34 bugged with damage application?

[vast bane]

true but it was what gave you guys all the nifty new stuff for macro

[scarlet gale]

Mine very specifically needs 35

[past spade]

Hi, I want to make an item that adds an effect to all targets with the duration of 1d8. I would use the roll expression for duration but that rolls a different duration for every target. Is there a way to roll only once and have the same duration for all targets?

[inland vortex]

Is this what you needed?

[scarlet gale]

No

If you don't mind waiting I'll get it in a few hours

[vast bane]

macro territory, midi macro territory even

[inland vortex]

No problem. I'll look when i get home from work tomorrow

[scarlet gale]

My potion of growth macro does something like that if you need an example: https://github.com/chrisk123999/chris-premades/blob/master/scripts/macros/items/potionOfGrowth.js

[quasi needle]

I am trying to automate the -1d4 str value from a shadow attack. it works, it's stackable, BUT every time a new effect is applied to the actor token, it appears to reroll all the 1d4 effects. How do I avoid this?

[inland vortex]

Has anyone made class features for circle of stars druids that work?

[scarlet gale]

https://github.com/chrisk123999/foundry-macros/blob/main/Features/Monster Features/Shadow/Chris-StrengthDrain.js

I also have this in my module.

[quasi needle]

i'm a novice at this. do i past that in as a macro, do i import it somehow?

[scarlet gale]

Item macro on the feature

Post active effects (default setting) is fine

[quasi needle]

how do i do that? I tried pasting the code into On Use Macro and that's clearly incorrect 😉

ok, i think i see how....

[vast bane]

holy crap

he on use macros field does not utilize actual macros, it utilizes the NAME of macros lol

most of the time it will just have ItemMacro

and then you paste the actual macro into the item macro field at the top of the item

or you can reference a system macro

[quasi needle]

i opened the str drain feature, clicked item macro at the top, pasted the code in, attacked my guinea pig several times. there are 3 strdrain icons on the actor, but his str remains unchanged at 20. what did i miss?

[inland vortex]

If the guinea pig was named Boo, he is immortal and impervious to all attacks.

[quasi needle]

fun side note, i used to be a low level grunt in video game development, i actually worked on neverwinter nights.... lived in a hotel down the street from bioware in edmonton for 4 months

[scarlet gale]

Show me the on use area

[quasi needle]

it's empty now, should i add something there?

[scarlet gale]

ItemMacro

[quasi needle]

it applies the effect, i head dice rolling and see the d4 generated in chat, but the char's str remains unaffected at 20

[scarlet gale]

Show me the effects tab on the target actor

[scarlet gale]

Remove the ones on there

As well as any on the feature

Then try again

[quasi needle]

that fixed it

i think it was removing the effect on the str drain feature

yup, your code doesn't create stacking icons

thanks for the help

[scarlet gale]

Yea, it just updates the one

[quasi needle]

hah, can't get rid of the giant skull after killing him with str drain and then resting

[scarlet gale]

Should just be able to remove the icon

It's an effect

[quasi needle]

no, adding and removing death icon only affect the mini death icon

[scarlet gale]

Open the actor and remove it on its effects

[quasi needle]

thankls

i'll just tell my players they're undead now

[vast bane]

youhave too many modules auto defeating/autodeading

also there may be a dead monster underneat it

the dead overlay is always on top regardless of how many npcs there are there in the square

[quasi needle]

i'm only aware of midiqol auto-deading stuff

[vast bane]

midiqol, combat booster, and monks stuff does

alwayshp might also

[quasi needle]

don't have the others you mentioned

if (targetStrength <= 0) {
await chris.removeCondition(targetActor, 'Unconscious');
await chris.addCondition(targetActor, 'Dead', true, null);
}

his code flags the token dead at str 0, which is great, it's supposed to, i'm just saying the flag didn't get autoremoved when short rested

or long rested

maybe it's midi-qol's fault, because it adds those full token size skulls for dead

[vast bane]

dead condition on its own is not removed via a short rest though

to remove dead you must revivify, reincarnate, raise dead, resurrection, or true resurrection.

you can't exactly sleep off a dead condition, also per rules as written a character can only benefit from a rest if they have atleast 1 hp.

[vital carbon]

can someone help me? I think my MidiQOL Special Durations are not working

[spice kraken]

Like?

[vital carbon]

the effect does not end on any of the conditions

[spice kraken]

Those work for me but I'm on v9

[vital carbon]

i see, Im on v10

[spice kraken]

@vast bane you around?

[scarlet gale]

No reason they shouldn't work. I use them all the time on v10

[vast bane]

my first guess is they don't have delete on expire on

second guess is naughty other roller

third guess is it never is on the actor in the first place cause the items set to none/none

I think theres a dae and a times up module setting that shuts them off

also all of those are combat related is there even combat?

[vital carbon]

yes. there is a combat

[vast bane]

are they in it?

[vital carbon]

yes

[vast bane]

and by they I mean the canvas actor if its an unlinked actor

are you on dae 24?

if so downgrade to 23, its a bogus version

to downgrade you must find the v10 packages in the v10 branch of dae on his gitlab

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
Effective Transferral
Attack Roll Check for Dnd5e
Advanced Spell Effects(non beta version)

Concentration conflicts(Only use one, shut the others off):
Midiqol
Concentration Notifier Module
Combat Utility Belt Concentrator

The following modules have template settings that step on midi:
Spell Template Manager
Automated Animations
SIFT

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 or lack of ae's.

When troubleshooting issues of unknown advantage/disadvantage flags, its useful to turn on Attribution, follow the two images in this link:
#1010273821401555087 message

Damage resistance and Damage Reduction keys are very commonly confused in midiqol:
DR keys are damage reduction, like stones endurance, deflect missiles, and heavy armor master(the keys will have midi in them)
dr keys are damage resistance, which is when damage is halved like rage, or evasion. (the keys will have system in them or data if v9)

Overtime Effects Cheat Sheet:
#1010273821401555087 message

Legacy Info:
Dfreds CE 4.0+ requires midi 32+ and dae 22+.
Dnd5e 2.0.3 requires legacy versions of midi 24 and dae 14 and times up 10.3. Any later versions are untested and most likely will have breakages.

if the effect was added via effective transferral, ready set roll, or WIRE, then midi will not expire the AE and you need to turn them off

[vital carbon]

i see, so the culprit was effective transferral

How can I give actors effects in a way that Midi likes?

[vast bane]

it should be automatic unless you check boxes you shouldn't

do you have midiqol?

[vital carbon]

yes i do

[vast bane]

show me the item details

[vital carbon]

I mean, actor A gives actor B the effect

wait a sec

[vast bane]

default effect transfer in midiqol is dealt out via the item details tab's range/target settings

if its a target effect then the target needs to read anything but self/none

if you checked the abnormal boxes on the ae, they will not transfer right

noboxes in the dae's first tab should be checked in a standard effect transfer

Active effect transfer is a setting that is on by default but incase a module or fidddling has caused it to be shut off you can find it in the workflow button, workflow tab, SPECIAL section as the first of the two drop downs.

[vital carbon]

these are the item's details

[vast bane]

if that item nas an active effect, then...show me the whole item, I suspect you have more naughty modules

[past spade]

Took me quite a while, but I got to this in the end, if anyone's interested. Thanks for your help
I tried to edit the message from Midi to include the roll, but that didn't work when a non-gm used the feature, so I went back to normal message

[vital carbon]

how do I show you the whole item? all of its tabs?

[vast bane]

does it add an effect when you target something and roll it?

[past spade]

Oops, here's the macro

[vital carbon]

now it does

[vast bane]

make sure you have no other of those listed modules installed

gonna move effective transferral to the incompatible list

not just redundant, but incompatible

[raven holly]

Where is this coming from? "Midi now requires sight to be setup on all monsters or the players will get unseen attacker advantage." ?
I dont see this in my game

[vital carbon]

its applying correctly but it still not working properly, let me see all of those other options

[vast bane]

its a setting thats on by default that causes the hidden flag we constantly have to troubleshoot

you could shut it off /shrug but its always on by default and gets people

[raven holly]

oh

[vital carbon]

it is working on the special duration: moved

but it doesnt work on the other durations

[vast bane]

its an obnoxious flag that doesn't show on the actor and if you don't have attribution it can really confuse a novice user

most of the stuff in that copy/paste is borne out of repetitive answers

[raven holly]

wouldnt telling them to turn it off be easier than changing all their npcs?

[vast bane]

I'm pretty sure theres more to the setting than just that

I think its the general range check setting?

[raven holly]

want that pinned then so you dont have to keep reposting it? It's huge so it will take up a massive amount of space

[vast bane]

Let me clean it up then cause I've not really read it in a few days

[raven holly]

ok, I'll pin that and you can edit it as needed, that's how I handle my pins in the main channel/my FAQ posts

[vast bane]

you sure you don't wanna repost it in your own post so that its less um...manipulatable by a commoner such as me?

I edited it for a good final version now

[raven holly]

Lol I wouldnt be able to update it, I'm not keeping track of that information. Everytime I pop in here I see you post it so, just trying to make it easy for you.

But if I check up on that pin and you're putting bad stuff in it, ohh boyyy you're gonna get it!

[vast bane]

heh, if anything I might add situational things like say if he has a bad version release like dae is currently

[raven holly]

Perfect use case I think

[vital carbon]

how can I downgrade my DAE? i'm having a hard time finding the v10.0.23 url

[vast bane]

https://gitlab.com/tposney/dae/-/blob/v10/package/dae-v10.0.23.zip

Tim hasn't converted his default page over to the v10 branch yet so you have to do that in order to see the package folder with all the v10 versions

that should give you a zip file that has the folder, you can either delete your old dae folder in data/modules, or paste over it with the zips contents, I forget if dae has the folder included, I know midi does.

[vital carbon]

yeah, the special durations are still not working... downgraded dae but still the only one I've managed to make it work was the "end on move"

[vast bane]

is your times up module updated?

[vital carbon]

I should theoretically have no bad modules

[vital carbon]

prob, gonna check it

[vast bane]

are you on midi 35?

[vital carbon]

yeah

also times-up is updated

[vast bane]

k well I can tell you they work on 33, but once you step beyond 33, and if you have CPR installed, you can't really downgrade midi versions without breaking alot of CPR

also its not guarenteed its midi's version thats at fault

check times up and SC

[vital carbon]

what is CPR again?

[vast bane]

if they are updated and you still have issues, try CTRL f5 if that doesn't fix things wait and see if when tposney returns that he doesn't fix them

Chris' Premade Module

if you have integrated any items past version .90 of his module, then you can't go below version 34 35

The new midisrd may be in the same boat not sure yet waiting for bugbear to respond to a ping

times up got an overhaul/fix around the time of midi 34 release so I highly recommend checking to see if its updated as it primarily deals with special durations in midi/dae

and if all that doesn't solve it, try to watch your console while the special durations are failing to remove it to see if you have an error

[vital carbon]

Yeah, didn't catch anything, gonna wait for some updates while I deal with it like in the good old days

[vast bane]

yeah if you are on 35 the best you can do is just post a gitlab issue with as much information as you can to tposney so he can fix it. Try to replicate it with something everyone has, like his sample items or something

or a dnd5e item

the dfreds reaction item has a special duration is that functioning?

[vital carbon]

greate idea, thanks a bunch for your time

[scarlet gale]

I have the most up to date DAE and midi and they work. It has to be something else

[vast bane]

try just socketlib/libwrapper/midiqol/dae/timesup/simple calendar and see if the special durations work

and stare at the console when the failure to specially end happens

[vital carbon]

yeah, it works

now, I need to find the culprit 🤡

[vast bane]

my money is on a module in my list in the pins

however, I really do wanna know what module it winds up being so I can add it to the list lol

[vital carbon]

Yeah, it's not one from the list

[vast bane]

what version are you on?

[vital carbon]

I'm currently using these,

[vast bane]

foundry/dnd5e

[vital carbon]

v10

[vast bane]

build number 291?

[vital carbon]

5e v2.1.5

[vital carbon]

yeah

[vast bane]

what version of simple calendar do you have, version number

5e resources plus is a problematic module, use zhell's add a resource module instead

[vital carbon]

2.1.80

[vast bane]

isn't action pack a WIRE module?

[vital carbon]

um, idk what WIRE modules are

[vast bane]

what is your libwrapper and socketlib version numbers

Magic Items Module is problematic, if you can do so, I'd switch to Items with Spells

[vital carbon]

libwr - 1.12.12.0
socket - 1.0.12

[vast bane]

oh um, install find the culprit module lol

much easier to find the culprit thats causing the issue if you have Find the Culprit

faster and more systemic way of weeding out modules

[vital carbon]

that's a module? lol

[vast bane]

You also don't have dfreds CE as a midi user, typically cub is for the sw5e guys and stubborn holdouts lol

[vital carbon]

lol, so dfreds is better? noted

[vast bane]

its practically required when you start dabbling in midi srd and CPR

its infact required for CPR

[vital carbon]

yeah, I think I'm going crazy lol

with find the culprit targeting only the necessary mods it still doesnt work

so its either a mod configuration, or I somehow made the worst foundry world

[vast bane]

what necessary modules did you have on?

[vast bane]

@scarlet gale do you have simple calendar?

[vital carbon]

okay, it was a midi config

I don't know which one tho, I just enabled "full automation" and worked

sorry for wasting your time

[vast bane]

meh I'm sittin here preppin my third campaign atm no wasted time

[scarlet gale]

Yes, why?

[vast bane]

he figure dout his problem after I asked

So I been tellin people to do "No Target" for creature types and i can't find that anywhere in the readme. And I currently can't get it to work

supposedly somewhere you can put NoTarget and midi won't touch the creature

I thought I had it right but its not working for me

[vital carbon]

does midi checks for darkvision?

[vast bane]

if you have the optional rule mentioned in the pin by me here on, then yes it does

highly recommend having the attribution option for tooltips in the tab where the export/import settings are

its the only way to see if the hidden attacker flag is on

[scarlet gale]

Comment out line 1536 in utils.js to have midi-qol not give a notification.

[pliant matrix]

how did you manage to create a window to choose the effect?

[gilded yacht]

MIDI sad and midi sample items are very different. MIDI sample items should be v10 up to dare, midi srd is being worked on

[digital lagoon]

Thanks - I was unclear but I believe they managed to clear that up. Appreciate you clarifying. Aren’t you supposed to be on vacation though?! 👀

Get thee to a relaxerie!

[gilded yacht]

Yep, until end of week, but happen to have internet access tonight.

[frozen shard]

Hey guys!
Does anyone have an ItemMacro for Strength of the Grave shadow sorcerer feature?

[stable peak]

Hi guys, anyone know how to make the hexblade more automated ? My hexblade dont curse the enemy and dont roll the critic marge 19-20

bugbears macros has hexblade curse

[fringe crag]

there should we a folder with "midi qol sample" stuff. there is a twinned spell feature that has this stuff set up. But it didn't work fully. So we changed it up a bit here

[violet meadow]

No need for a manual installation link for the MidiSRD anymore

I will fix the items this week

[vast bane]

fixed

[native rivet]

Struggling to set up a spell type in Midi. Hoping someone has an idea.
Trying to make a spell that drains first, then heals. But so far, I can't seem to get the spell to not just combine both die rolls at once. Any ideas how I might segment this?

[boreal maple]

Is there a way a weapon can apply a debuff when it strikes a creature to increase the damage received by the attacker only by 1, which each hit adds a further +1 damage stacking up to its proficiency value until the creature dies? D&D 5e using Midi/Dae ? So for instance first strike on the creature now has +1 damage debuff going forward, second hit +2, third hit +3 (proficiency cap is 3 lets say) So then every hit after that is capped at +3 but only for the person who put the debuff on ?

[keen remnant]

How did you do that?

Because I work currently at a feature piercing existing immunity and or resistance so I might just make a separate damage type and do it that way

[keen remnant]

Works like hex just with +1 instead of a d8

And you can make it stack it up to 3

[boreal maple]

Not seeing that in Midi Spells. Where might I find that ?

[keen remnant]

It’s a AE and you should be able to stack it up to a certain ceiling

How to do that goes over my head tho

Because +1+1+1 and 3 are equal

[boreal maple]

ok thanks for the help, But what is AE?

[violet meadow]

Needs a macro.

One such example #1010273821401555087 message

[native rivet]

Huh, I'll have a gander, thanks

[violet meadow]

I am away for the weekend so I cannot help properly.
You want to ask around in #dnd5e about how to create new types. It's a really easy world script

You should be able to find lots of examples with a search too

Which feature are you trying to make?

There are Elemental Adept examples shared if that helps

[strong yew]

#1010273821401555087 message
I made a starry form that works.

[keen remnant]

I’ll take a look and decide later on the way how

[keen remnant]

Active effect (module)

[strong yew]

Anyone have something that creates a template in the macro?

[scarlet gale]

Lookup my Javelin of lightning

[strong yew]

Have 2 versions of an ability, since it can be cone or line template. Looking to simplify it to just one ability

[strong yew]

Cool, thanks

[native rivet]

The setting that allows the gm to fudge numbers before applying. Where is that? I can't find it, and I'm trying to turn it off. Think I've stared myself blind, at this point.

[scarlet gale]

I don't recall that being part of midi-qol

[native rivet]

it's one of the presets in midi

I turned it on to see what it did, but I can't turn it off again, and I can't see what it triggered

so every roll now, I get a secret chat box, where I need to approve. Can't seem to turn it off

[scarlet gale]

screenshot your gm settings in midi workflow

I think it's just auto fast forward damage

[lean holly]

When using thatlonelybugbear's v10 Crusher macro, i get the following midi error:

foundry.js:59187 There was an error running your macro. See the console (F12) for details

[lean holly]

Copy and past the error or the macro, both cases is yes lol.

[scarlet gale]

the macro

[lean holly]

Chris, you're amazing. There was extra crap at the bottom of my copy pasta macro from github.

[topaz fjord]

Hello everyone!
There seem to be a lot of "Hunter's Mark not working" threads lately.
What could be the reason for sample Hunter's Mark 10.0.23 not to add damage on hit?

The only possible problem I see is the console log when Hunter's Mark is first applied, which is

Hunter's Mark 10.0.23 - Hunter's Mark 10.0.23 TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'find')

It seems to point to a line in Item Macro that is executed:

const currentDuration = duplicate(actor.effects.find(ef => ef.label === game.i18n.localize("midi-qol.Concentrating")).duration);

Then both actors receive "Marked" effect, which is probably not how it is supposed to work.

Foundry 10.291
dnd5e 2.1.5
MidiQOL 10.0.35
DAE 10.0.24

UPD. On damage roll midi-qol logs no item macro found for ItemMacro, probably refering to Hunter's Mark's effect flags.dnd5e.DamageBonusMacro with value ItemMacro.

[inland vortex]

Moto talked me into v10 this week. I'd also been holding out due to Better Rolls. I'm liking v10 so far, but it is a bit of work getting things running for our campaign in it. I only jut started using midiqol though, so steep learning curve this week!

[inland vortex]

ty

[native rivet]

Think we're talking past each other. It's the bottom one I'm talking about. The rolls themselves are fine. It's this approval box I'm trying to get rid of.

[scarlet gale]

That box is there so you can undo the damage and see damage resistances.

By default it'll show up for GMs only.

[native rivet]

I see

Thing is... It wasn't always on

it got turned on, when I clicked this

but I don't remember what it said it changed, and I can't seem to untoggle it

[scarlet gale]

I feel like it's the damage card setting in workflow

[digital lagoon]

You can also click that quick setting again and it will show you the specific toggles that it changes and to what settings, which might help you isolate the individual setting. I think Chris is on the right track there though.

[native rivet]

It doesn't appear to make a difference...

[topaz fjord]

Btw, is there a recommended workflow for damage-altering macros to work?

[native rivet]

Is there any way for me to alter the output chat box? Currently, when this fires, it rolls 1d4 necrotic first, and then applies a 1d4 heal. The effects work, but the chat parse that players see, see the die as being added together.

Closer inspection reveals the individual rolls, but they're still shown added up in the parse, which isn't what's happening. Also makes it hard to read what's happening.

[scarlet gale]

You're likely not using midi-qol as intended if your doing a heal and damage in the same item.

Do you have auto apply damage disabled?

[native rivet]

Well the thing is... The effect actually works.

The general idea, is a life tap, that offers a temp hp shield. numbers are just place holder.

It taps hp first, then applies a temp hp boost. So far, so good. But the parsed output doesn't show this.

And it made me realise that I'd run into similar issues, if I tried a life drain spell or similar. Drain life from A, give to B etc.

[scarlet gale]

Ah

[native rivet]

the parser would show the cumulated values rolled by the die, as a single value. Not 2 separate things.

[vast bane]

you would have to use manual damage

[scarlet gale]

Not something that was likely taken into account

[vast bane]

and legacy card buttons or turn off merge/condense

[scarlet gale]

You can always do it with a macro to avoid the issue

[vast bane]

much simpler to plagerize Chris macro for vampiric touch lol

[native rivet]

where would I find that? Been wracking my brain all evening, trying to figure out how I try something like this

I've... not dabbled with macro's yet

I confess, it's daunting enough trying to figure out how midi even works

but if that's the way forward, then I guess I should get to it

[scarlet gale]

Also heads up, change that to utility as the type if there is any spell scaling involved

If it's not already that

[vast bane]

I made a chill touch upgrade that deals necrotic damage and applies temp hp to the caster is that what you want?

[native rivet]

I realised and did ^^

I didn't want an attack roll

[native rivet]

well... sort of. Thing is... the caster is draining these hp... from themeselves

[scarlet gale]

That would be a one liner macro

[native rivet]

it's as much to learn what I can, and cannot do... Down the road, I might try to feed it hit die as fuel, or a caster draining their own life force, to heal another etc

[vast bane]

what is the point of the spell?

actual hp is better than temp hp

[scarlet gale]

Sacrifice hp for more temp

It appears

[native rivet]

aye... but if the temp hp is 2-3 times the hp cost, it can act as a mitigation spell

and I'm messing about with some lower power lvl homebrew stuff

[vast bane]

function checkTrait(type, trait) {
    return args[0].hitTargets[0].actor?.system.traits[type]?.value.has(trait);
}
if (args[0].hitTargets.length != 1) return;
let damage = Math.floor(args[0].damageTotal / 2);
let hasImmunity = checkTrait('di', 'necrotic');
if (hasImmunity) return;
let hasResistance = checkTrait('dr', 'necrotic');
if (hasResistance) damage = Math.floor(damage / 2);
if (damage != 0) {
    let sourceToken = args[0].workflow.token.document;
    await MidiQOL.applyTokenDamage([{
        damage: damage,
        type: 'temphp'
    }], damage, new Set([sourceToken]), null, null);
}

Item deals necrotic damage, and applies half temp hp to caster

[native rivet]

does that just go in the effects section?

[vast bane]

I bet all you'd have to do is change the half line and it'd work for you

its an on use macro so it goes in either a folder macro you call via on use, or it goes in Item macro and you call Item Macro in the item on use

[native rivet]

folder macro?

[native rivet]

I suspect I'll need to read up on macro's... Is that in the documentation you linked above?

(I'm better at reading code, than writing it, so pardon if I'm a bit slow on the uptake. It's a lot to take in ^^ )

[vast bane]

if you have the module item macro, make sure its character sheet hooks are off in its settings and dump my macro in the item macro field at the top of the item pictured in the first image

then make sure your item points to the right target, for you its self/self range/target. and don't forget to reference Item Macro at the bottom

I'm pretty certain you just have to edit one line of my code

[native rivet]

I'll need to figure out how macro's even work in this first 😉
Hadn't gotten to them yet ^^

[scarlet gale]

At the top of your item do you have a button that says Item Macro in the title bar?

[vast bane]

the line where damage is defined as math.floor yada yada change to yours

[native rivet]

no... don't see that option

[scarlet gale]

Lookup the module Item Macros

[vast bane]

You are honestly just a few clicks away from having your item made, just follow the images, install item macro if you don't have it, turn off its hooks settings, and paste my macro

[native rivet]

will do, cheers

[scarlet gale]

I'll clean that up, you don't need the trait checking

[vast bane]

honestly all my stuff is just plagerizing you guys lol

[native rivet]

I should be ok to tie this to resouce usage, right? So for all intents and purposes, it'll act like a spell?

[vast bane]

yeah a self cast likely the caster wouldn't want resistance to it

[native rivet]

lol, talk about feels bad moments ^^

[scarlet gale]

Is this just a feature?

or is it a spell

or something else

[native rivet]

I'd want it to be a spell

[scarlet gale]

Remake the item as a spell then

[vast bane]

thats good cause my example is one too

[native rivet]

my initial experimentation just came about, as a means of changing shield spell for something more interesting... and then seeing if I could figure out how ^^

[vast bane]

the macro only cares about the damage parts of the item fwiw it could work with anything

[native rivet]

ah ok

[vast bane]

its expecting a damage formula

wait its checking hits, does that mean it won't work?

since they are just doing direct damage like a magic missile?

[scarlet gale]

let damageFormula = '1d4[temphp]';
let diceRoll = await new Roll(damageDice).roll({async: true});
diceRoll.toMessage({
    rollMode: 'roll',
    speaker: {alias: name},
    flavor: this.item.name
});
await MidiQOL.applyTokenDamage(
    [
        {
            damage: diceRoll.total,
            type: 'temphp'
        }
    ],
    diceRoll.total,
    new Set([this.token]),
    null,
    null
);```

Change the formula in line 1 as needed

and remove the temp hp from the item damage area

[native rivet]

Hmh, ok I think I get it... Lemme mess with it a sec

and thanks a ton for explaining ^^

[scarlet gale]

Unrelated to the macro or the setup. Watch out for players trying to find creative ways to get necrotic resistance or immunity when combined with this. Unless you phrase it like "This damage can't be mitigated" or something.

[vast bane]

I'd just rename the damage flavor to Nicrotic heh

can't resist what doesn't exist

[native rivet]

Ah well that's the beauty of what I'm doing. It's confined to a lvl 0-5 setting... they're playing gnolls (hence the emphasis on cannibalism and life from blood etc), and they don't have access to basic stuff.

They can be as creative as they like. If I don't add it to the module, it doesn't exist ^^

[scarlet gale]

ah nice

I just use damage type none for no mitigation

[topaz fjord]

inb4 resistance to None

[scarlet gale]

That's on the DM at that point

[native rivet]

GM: "any resistances?"
Player: "none"
GM: "... Well played"

[topaz fjord]

Is there a correct way to ask for help in this channel?
Can't get my head around basic stuff that's supposed to work as is

[scarlet gale]

Just ask

In reality, there isn't much that will work as-is with midi unless it's damage related

[topaz fjord]

Here's my question

[topaz fjord]

In fact it kinda is damage related

[scarlet gale]

I think bugbear mentioned a recent DAE update broke it

let me see if I can find the post

I can't seem to find it, but I'm sure he'll poke his head in here soon enough and know better.

I'm not familiar enough with the macro on that to know where it's going wrong.

[topaz fjord]

I feel like it can't get a reference to damageRoll macro, but have no understanding of "how it is supposed to work"

Tried to just set a name of macro in AE, no luck here

[vast bane]

@violet meadow does MidiSRD official require midi 34+?

alternatively, Chris can you share the edit to fix midi 35 if I can't find this out in time?

I have a radical idea...What if I unlocked CPR and Midi SRd and combined them into CPR's compendiums, would the update button work on the midi srd items?

[scarlet gale]

Probably lol

It's only doing name matches unless it's a monster

Also, what fix are you talking about?

[vast bane]

That sounds like a ridiculously awesome exploit of your module then lol

the fix for the incapcitated warning spam in 35

[scarlet gale]

I shared it above

#1010273821401555087 message

[vast bane]

also cursory glance at the new MIdi SRD, looks amazing @violet meadow

Prolly gonna convince someone in macro polo to write a merge macro for two compendiums, I take it the id of CPR's compendiums needs to be maintained yeah?

[scarlet gale]

Nope

It literally just matches by name

Dump your added stuff in and it should just work

[vast bane]

Should this be custom?

[scarlet gale]

Add probably

[vast bane]

those are system keys aren't they?

also no leading +, I think bugbear has said in the past that some keys take custom and it forgoes the need for a leading +?

[scarlet gale]

Test it and see

[vast bane]

DAE 24 is prolly not fixable with a quick edit locally right?

[proper siren]

Hey all, question. I'm trying to setup Beacon of Hope using flags.midi-qol.max.damage.heal to apply maximum healing to actors that have the spell. So far, it doesn't appear to be working. Is that the correct flag to use?

[vast bane]

I believe you need the grant version of that key

CPR has it premade for you if you have that

[proper siren]

perfect, that's the flag ty

[scarlet gale]

Keep in mind if one target has the grants flag it'll max healing for everyone if it's a multi target heal.

[vast bane]

Chris do I comment out just that 1 line 1536 or the whole function?

[scarlet gale]

Just the line

[vast bane]

k thats what I did

[scarlet gale]

Should be like ui notification

[vast bane]

lol I just performed the merge, lets see how stupid I am

[scarlet gale]

Good luck

[vast bane]

I need to double check, can you tell me if your module has a premade for vicious mockery?

I can't tell now that I merged

[scarlet gale]

I think so

If there is a duplicate it should just take the first it finds

[vast bane]

I chose the merge cause if anything it'd add the descriptions in

[scarlet gale]

My readme has a list

[vast bane]

oh actually any with descriptions mean they are midi srd right?

[scarlet gale]

Descriptions won't matter

It grabs it from the replaced item

[hexed coral]

Question: Do I leave 'Delay before rolling for players' empty if I want it to stay up until a player clicks a option?

[scarlet gale]

And yes

[vast bane]

I'm pretty sure that causes auto rolling

[hexed coral]

Hmmm

[vast bane]

I need to peel out the healing spells to turn on exploding and do the same thing as midi srd to CPR

I can confirm that it does indeed work, you can move all of midi srd into CPR's compendiums and use the update button from CPR 8)

keep in mind that every time you update CPR, its gonna wipe the compendium, I'm personally just going to leave midi srd's compendiums as sidebar item folders to quickly reimport to CPR

[scarlet gale]

Remind me to make you a world script to auto change formulas to exploding dice for healing

[vast bane]

I'll put it in feature requests

but not till after my session I gotta go get my gameface on for game night

[scarlet gale]

Might just make it a setting

[vast bane]

Its a fun homebrew rule we use, makes healing fun

want my worldscript that plays a sound on explosions lol?

My favorite part of CPR updating is that it remembers the properties like always prepared

[magic tartan]

Hey, Chris, is it possible to use your module's aura system on custom macros? Does the module provides an API for that?

[scarlet gale]

That's a planned feature. Right now no, but I need to rework my auras a little bit before I implement that

I'll have something for that in under a week, and possibly tonight

Active auras module is more user friendly

[proper robin]

Is there a way to make damage rolls from the chat (like typed in) apply to a selected target automatically? Like I know theres a way when you click an action from token hud or from the sheet but I'm not sure what's needed to make it apply if you type something like 1d6 into the chat and have a target selected

[short aurora]

I can't think of a way of doing this without running macros. Is it something you want to do often or what's your need here?

[proper robin]

I have no issue with using macros for that, the need for that is quite a few kobold press monsters have effects (damage over time effects specifically) that have very weird ending conditions so how I've been automating things with midiqol wouldn't work for those situations, hence asking more experienced people, I've been using over time for some of them that end on saving throw, but for things that only last one or two rounds that don't need a saving throw it doesn't pay to automate them that way

[proper siren]

I'm trying to pass an argument to an item macro with macro.itemMacro. The argument should be the wisdom ability modifier of another actor. I'm using @3UgrkjSGVjM60oRU.abilities.wis.mod which just returns 0. Any idea what I'm missing?

[proper robin]

Will go ask in macro polo to see if its something they can figure out

[short aurora]

It's still Midi stuff if you want it to respect Midi automation, like damage resistance and reduction, so no need there

You can create a damage flow that does all of that in macros, let me see if I can fetch an example

[short aurora]

That's not how you call for an actor's attribute, how are you trying to pass this argument/execute the ItemMacro? Can you take a pic of your setup?

[proper siren]

Sure np

[proper robin]

Ah ok, yea I'd still like to to respect resistances and such

[hasty jackal]

how can i create a bag of holding effect?for some reason my player has his encumbrance bugged instead of adding 500 it adds like 2000

[proper siren]

nvm, got it figured out, it's just @abilities.wis.mod

[short aurora]

It is, I'd shift it around to do all that in the spell's damage/healing formula and reference it by @damage tho', more flexible if something were to improve or lessen the caster's ability

[scarlet gale]

Effect macros

Anything with weird overtime stuff can be done with it's triggers

[proper robin]

Thanks I'll look into it

[proper siren]

Yeah the default macro from the dndbeyond import used @dense mistge there actually, but it just returned 0.. Any idea on what I'd need to change to get that working?

[short aurora]

It might have used the wrong ability modifier, I can see that the srd example just goes with "default", you want to change that to Wisdom.

Default refers to whatever mod is currently selected in the spellbook (and I'm assuming the caster here is wisdom, so maybe wisdom wasn't selected in the spellbook yet)

or they had a 0 mod which is fun as a wisdom caster

[proper siren]

ahhh okay, good to know

hmm, updated that but still returns 0 using @dense mistge .. odd

[short axle]

for some reason this command isnt reacting when i input the modifier, but it does react when i put a number.

However, when i use this command in other fields like adding movement speed, it works.

[scarlet gale]

Do not edit HP with an effect

That will not work as expected

[short axle]

what should i do then?

the user needs to have their hp increased when the effect goes active

[scarlet gale]

Every time there is an actor update it'll readjust the HP with that value

[short axle]

ah

[scarlet gale]

There isn't really an easy way to have the hp go up when an effect starts, then revert upon loss of effect

I'd just have the effect add the HP as part of the item roll

What are you even trying to make?

Temp max HP may be useful here

[short axle]

The user has a transformation that increases con, and i want to have that increase in con also increase their HP, because as of now it only increases max hp

[spice kraken]

temp HP note:Example: Player A has 10 hit points. Player A is given an active effect that adds 5 temporary hit points. They now have a total of 15. Player A is hit by an attack for 3 hit points of damage. So math is 15 - 3 = 12 current hit points. But then active effect fires on any update, so math goes 12 + 5 = 17 hit points now. Active Effects update on any change or update to the character (actor) sheet.

(applies for current hp too)

Max values are fine though (but can still get weird sometimes)

[scarlet gale]

Have the feature apply healing upon use

since it appears to be a set number

[short axle]

As of now its just an effect the user turns off and on.

[scarlet gale]

Not tied to a feature?

[short axle]

i didnt know that was possible until now

[scarlet gale]

Like you made it in CE or something?

[short axle]

i just made the effect in their effects tab

[scarlet gale]

Ah

make a feature

and on the feature have it do the healing and apply the effect to increase max health

or whatever it's doing

[short axle]

how can i copy the effect into the feature/connect them

[scarlet gale]

DAE, look on the title bar of the feature

[short axle]

okay?

[scarlet gale]

Click on DAE then press the + sign

then edit the effect as you so wish

On the feature make sure the targeting is set to self and that it has a duration

[short axle]

do i have to recreate the effect?

[scarlet gale]

Probably

[short axle]

this feature doesnt have a duration, it's an at will transformation. Should i just make the duration 9999 or can i not have one

[scarlet gale]

you can just not have one then

It'll show up as a passive instead of a temp effect however

[short axle]

Thats the intention

im recreating devil fruits in One Piece for my players, and the Zoans are by far the hardest to write

(animal transformations)

nevermind, it has to be temporary

[short axle]

I have now made it into a feature, but the effect isnt activating when i roll the feature.

[scarlet gale]

Screenshot the feature details

[scarlet gale]

screenshot the chat message that shows up when you click it

[scarlet gale]

hmm

click onto the effects tab

and screenshot there

[short axle]

i've been comparing it to the Rage effect and feature

[scarlet gale]

That's on the feature?

Not sure why it's set as disabled

Open up the DAE dialog and screenshot the first page

after clicking the edit button

[short axle]

DAE dialog and screenshot the feature after clicking the edit button?

[scarlet gale]

DAE button on the top

[short axle]

yes but that order doesnt make sense, the button isnt in the edit

[scarlet gale]

This button?

[short axle]

no you said click the edit before the DAE button, which confused me

because you click the DAE before edit

[scarlet gale]

uncheck effect suspended

[short axle]

Effect Suspend doesnt change anything btw. I turned it on because rage had it on

[scarlet gale]

and try again

Not sure why rage has it suspended

Also after doing that, go to the actor

and delete any lingering effects that may be on it

I'm thinking it's making the effect as suspended therefore not getting applied

[short axle]

i didnt turn on that suspension until the 15th time i tried it though

i only did it after it failed a bunch and i saw Rage had it on

[scarlet gale]

Just try it

and screenshot the actor's current effects

if there are any with the same name of what you're doing, delete them

[short axle]

i can only turn it on and off in the effects tab

[scarlet gale]

delete the one on the actor's effects tab

then try to use the feature again

making sure that the effect isn't set to be suspended in DAE

If it's still not working, export the feature for me and I'll import it on my end to figure out what's going wrong. You can DM me the json export.

[short axle]

it isnt suspended, and it didnt work again

aight, thanks

How do I comment out a line?

[weary rune]

I'm thinking of making a new Status Condition for "Dodge" action which would cost 1 action(maybe can't automate this in), expire at start of next turn, applies disadvantage to enemy attacks.
I'm not sure why this doesn't already exist, is there something impossible to achieve about it or something I'm forgetting about the Dodge action?
I'm hoping to end up with another item in the list of Poisoned, Stunned, Prone etc that when chosen just handles all the stuff. It would be massively handy for monsters and front rank defenders in in tactical situations to take load of DM.

[scarlet gale]

add // before it

[scarlet gale]

Dodge already exists in CE

[inland vortex]

where do i find a line to do this to it?

[weary rune]

yay! ok, I should look harder..

[scarlet gale]

Depending on your text editor it should show a line number somewhere

I don't recommend editing this file unless you really have to

[inland vortex]

I don't know enough about this to even understand where to go

I don't know what I'm editing or how to find the editor

[scarlet gale]

It's a file in the module directory for midi-qol. You would edit it with something like notepad++ or notepad

[inland vortex]

Are you saying I should not comment out the line, or not do anything besides that?

[scarlet gale]

I'm saying that you shouldn't do this unless you're comfortable with doing so. As lots of stuff will break if it's done incorrectly

Tposney will get this fixed once they're back

[inland vortex]

I can hope they just fix the problem soon 🙂

I have a similar problem every time I use DnD Beyonder character importer. About 2 minutes of error messages

I'll just work around the problem for now

Is there a working version of Hex?

TY Chris for trying, btw

[short axle]

I want enabling an effect to delete another, is there a way to do that?

i keep looking for scripts on the server for it but they dont seem to be working

[scarlet gale]

Do you want the effect to be able to be toggled off?

[short axle]

well i want to do that too

i have two effects that are in conflict (intentionally) and i do not want them to stack. I would prefer to not have to turn one off in order to turn the other on, i want to have the turn on button to delete the other effect.

so if i turn on one effect, it deletes the other

[scarlet gale]

make the names match then set the effect to not stack by name

or use a macro

[dark canopy]

with warpgate, you can use the delta callback to remove the hp.value information so that your current HP is not reverted, just the max

[scarlet gale]

I wouldn't consider that easy

[dark canopy]

ha, sure, just pointing it out -- its a little easier

[inland vortex]

Is there a version of Hex that automates the extra damage?

[scarlet gale]

There are a few floating around. My module has it.

DDB Importer has one

bugbear here has shared his as well

[inland vortex]

I may be using yours wrong
