[vast bane]

midi doesn't like reusing saves like that I don't think

midi does overtime effects on targets

[marsh axle]

huh ok. I think I'll come back to this tomorrow, way too tired to make sense of some of this Im sorry

[vast bane]

personally I'd grab a guru's settings and run with them for a bit till you learn the ropes

[vast bane]

but you have to really rely on these modules for the right setup items Specially midisrd:

[marsh axle]

oh lord help me. Thank you

[tepid dock]

I keep getting this error, and it doesn't even spit out the console.log

[vast bane]

share the macro

it is highly unlikely its not caused by a macro on your activity

[tepid dock]

function getResource(act, name) {
    return Object.keys(act.system.resources).find(k => act.system.resources[k].label === name);
}

async function updateResource(act, name, newValue) {
    return act.update({[`system.resources.${name}.value`]:newValue});
}

function getResourceValue(act, name) {
    return act.system.resources[name].value ?? 0;
}

function getResourceMax(act, name) {
    return act.system.resources[name].max ?? 0;
}

const item = args[0].item;
const user = args[0].actor;
const workflow = MidiQOL.Workflow.getWorkflow(args[0].uuid);
const resourceName = "Holy Power";

if (workflow.hitTargets.size === 0) return;
if(item.name !== "Wake of Ashes Generation") return;

const resource = getResource(user, resourceName);
const maxValue = getResourceMax(user, resource);
const currentValue = getResourceValue(user, resource);

Console.log(resource);
Console.log(maxValue);
Console.log(currentValue);

if(currentValue >= maxValue) return;

await updateResource(user, resource, Math.min(currentValue + 3, maxValue));```

[vast bane]

is this on an item?

THE item?

[tepid dock]

No, seperate macro, with an AE of macroName, preDamageRoll

[vast bane]

how is it called?

just log out args[0].item I guess

[vast bane]

my guess is however you are doing this you probably want args[1].item instead but /shrug

log it out

you probably need this on the item as an on use macro

[tepid dock]

console.log(args[0].item);

that look right?

[vast bane]

I think that'd be it, after the const

[tepid dock]

yep, ok ill run it

[vast bane]

theres probably no item in the args, what has the ae?

[tepid dock]

The feature itself

[vast bane]

oh thats an actor on use key

[vast bane]

don't you need a macro pass to do predamageroll?

if it only activates on wake of ashes, why is it setup as an actor on use?

[tepid dock]

This I am not sure of, but I could attempt making it an ItemMacro use, or the effects macro area

[vast bane]

put it on the wake of ashes item and roll it

change the action type to other

[tepid dock]

Remove the AE then?

[vast bane]

yeah

if you do that, then args[0]. can become this

[tepid dock]

look good?

[vast bane]

is the right one the literal item macro field on the left?

[tepid dock]

Correct

[vast bane]

give it a try

[scarlet gale]

You don't need the macropass or args[1]

[vast bane]

I defer to chris I was only helpin cause he wasn't around lol

[scarlet gale]

Are you trying to have this macro roll for just one item?

[vast bane]

still felt wrong to be an actor on use though

[scarlet gale]

or run any time the character uses any item?

[tepid dock]

Run it any time the character uses this feature.

But it didnt work, the ItemMacro way

[vast bane]

yeah you want it to be an item on use then

[scarlet gale]

You'll want it to be an on use then

[vast bane]

whats the error

[scarlet gale]

error helps a bunch here

[vast bane]

putting it on the item makes a couple of those if statements redundant fwiw

[tepid dock]

No error, just throws a chat card with the description

[vast bane]

no targets set

[vast bane]

does the item on that specific canvas actor have your edits?

[tepid dock]

I edited off the character sheet item

[vast bane]

right but it could be an unlinked actor

it could also be the range fields, it should be 5/blank/feet

[scarlet gale]

function getResource(act, name) {
    return Object.keys(act.system.resources).find(k => act.system.resources[k].label === name);
}

async function updateResource(act, name, newValue) {
    return act.update({[`system.resources.${name}.value`]:newValue});
}

function getResourceValue(act, name) {
    return act.system.resources[name].value ?? 0;
}

function getResourceMax(act, name) {
    return act.system.resources[name].max ?? 0;
}
const resourceName = "Holy Power";

if (this.hitTargets.size === 0) return;

const resource = getResource(this.actor, resourceName);
const maxValue = getResourceMax(this.actor, resource);
const currentValue = getResourceValue(this.actor, resource);

console.log(resource);
console.log(maxValue);
console.log(currentValue);

if(currentValue >= maxValue) return;

await updateResource(this.actor, resource, Math.min(currentValue + 3, maxValue));

try this

Didn't actually test your functions up top

[vast bane]

is the source actor hostile in the token settings when you double right click

the item says to only affect enemies

[tepid dock]

Yep all 3 hostile

[scarlet gale]

what actually is this supposed to be doing?

[tepid dock]

Same thing Chris, just throws a chat card description, no rolling for attacks or anything

[scarlet gale]

press f12

[vast bane]

I mean is the source actor hostile

[tepid dock]

Nope hes friendly

[scarlet gale]

and screenshot

[vast bane]

its like a sweaping attack Chris

[scarlet gale]

It this supposed to be updating the target resources of the source actor resources?

Because changing target resources will just result in permission errors without the use of warpgate

[tepid dock]

It should roll to attack all 3 frontal adjacent squares with the primary weapon, if at least 1 enemy is hit, it adds 3 holy power to their tertiary resource.

[scarlet gale]

yea, this won't do that

[vast bane]

the item doesn't have an attack on it

[tepid dock]

This is the console.

[scarlet gale]

Updating target actors that aren't owned requires a way to get around permission issues

such as using warpgate

This is beyond the scope of a quick fix

[vast bane]

I think he means it adds to the source actors resoruce

[scarlet gale]

Unless you mean it's updating the tertiary resource of the attacker

[tepid dock]

Correct.

[tepid dock]

Yes

[vast bane]

the problem is the item doesn't have an attack

you probably want this as an actor on use like divine smite

[scarlet gale]

the log out didn't happen

so it either didn't get that far

[tepid dock]

Well its not an attack of its own persay, its supposed to run off their primary weapon

[scarlet gale]

or it's not setup right as an item macro

[vast bane]

you aren't defining a primary weapon

yeah I already said I think hes using an unlinked actor for there to be no errors/console

[scarlet gale]

function getResource(act, name) {
    return Object.keys(act.system.resources).find(k => act.system.resources[k].label === name);
}

async function updateResource(act, name, newValue) {
    return act.update({[`system.resources.${name}.value`]:newValue});
}

function getResourceValue(act, name) {
    return act.system.resources[name].value ?? 0;
}

function getResourceMax(act, name) {
    return act.system.resources[name].max ?? 0;
}
const resourceName = "Holy Power";

if (this.hitTargets.size === 0) return;

const resource = getResource(this.actor, resourceName);
const maxValue = getResourceMax(this.actor, resource);
const currentValue = getResourceValue(this.actor, resource);

console.log(resource);
console.log(maxValue);
console.log(currentValue);

if(currentValue >= maxValue) return;

await updateResource(this.actor, resource, Math.min(currentValue + 3, maxValue));```

unlinked shouldn't matter

[vast bane]

double right click the source actor, is its data linked?

[scarlet gale]

Try this

[vast bane]

if hes updating the sidebar actor it would

[scarlet gale]

this.actor is the actor of the token on the field

oh gotcha

the one on the field isn't getting updated

[vast bane]

if the item on the sidebar guy is right but the token on the map is unlinked and old it never had the item update

[vast bane]

well shit

[scarlet gale]

could you try the updated macro I just posted

I removed the item name check

Since that's not needed anymore for this

[vast bane]

oh oh oh there we go

[scarlet gale]

that looks better

did the resource get updated?

[tepid dock]

It appears so, but he was close to max, I wanna see if it will update the full 3 points

yep, that worked so far.

[vast bane]

it kinda feels like it should be setup like CPR smite

its like a choice for the attacker to use it or not right?

[scarlet gale]

I still have no idea what the context of this feature is

[tepid dock]

Homebrew

Once per round, you can replace an attack with Wake of Ashes. Make a melee weapon attack, this attack’s range is a 5 foot semi-circle in front of you. If the attack is successful on at least 1 target you generate 3 Holy Power. If the target is a demon, fiend, or undead they must make a Constitution saving throw DC 10 or be stunned until the beginning of your next turn.

[vast bane]

you can that screams smite setup

[scarlet gale]

nah

[tepid dock]

forget that save DC part, we scrapped it

[vast bane]

or optionalNAMEmacro?

[scarlet gale]

the big issue is it being melee attacks

this should actually be working as worded now

ignoring the save part

[vast bane]

well the problem is the weapon can change

[scarlet gale]

set it to an attack roll, and remove the limit of targets

OHH

[tepid dock]

Yea the save part is going out the window

[scarlet gale]

so it's after you hit with a weapon attack?

does wake of ashes have it's own melee attack stuff?

[tepid dock]

Correct, you choose this over an attack, and if any one of the 3 enemies is struck you get the holy power. "Enemies being struck" is by the currently equipped primary weapon

[scarlet gale]

That's worded confusingly

[vast bane]

I don't think you can define a primary weapon though

[scarlet gale]

Yea, no easy way to do that

[vast bane]

maybe the aphabetically first?

[scarlet gale]

or first found equipped weapon

[vast bane]

I'd just make it like smite

[scarlet gale]

I would just have it get clicked after you hit

and assume that means the last attack was a hit

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vast bane]

wow I wonder if...cleave could do this

[tepid dock]

Could I trigger the item off of an attack item currently equipped?

[vast bane]

they are lined up...

[vast bane]

that is precisely how smite works currently hehe

[scarlet gale]

It's not an easy setup

[vast bane]

yeah

when you activate the attack, have it warpgate the equipped items damage parts into wake of ashes?

[tepid dock]

I have warpgate, but not super familiar with its API, would this be hard to incorporate?

[vast bane]

it has a dope wiki for figuring that part out fwiw

[scarlet gale]

Why go that far

just make this a action type special

and have the player activate it after they hit with an attack

[vast bane]

but like chris and I said, you'd have to use the first found equipped weapon, the players at my table abuse the hell out of their sheets

[scarlet gale]

problem solved

[vast bane]

it has to check if all 3 were hit I think?

[scarlet gale]

says at least one was hit?

[tepid dock]

Only if 1

[scarlet gale]

so yea, just special action

don't even have the attack roll on this

let the player hit normally then

[vast bane]

is it one attack for all 3?

[tepid dock]

Correct

[vast bane]

turn off the individual attack setting, target all 3 and make the attack, add the resource to the sheet after the attack is made

oohh

you could put the on use macro on the weapon and have it return if less than 3 targets

[scarlet gale]

I still don't get why it's not just a special use feature

[vast bane]

then define a value for how many are hit, and update the resource with the hittargets define

[scarlet gale]

I feel like this is getting way over complicated

in fact you don't even need a macro for this, just set the item consumption to be -3 of holy power

[vast bane]

well it only happens if they hit

so it'd have to be a query, to consume -1-3

[scarlet gale]

huh

you need to hit at least 1

it's a flat 3

[vast bane]

can't you yoink the hit targets out of the workflow for args[-1]?

[scarlet gale]

according to the pasted description from above

[tepid dock]

Correct, as long as you hit at least 1, its a flat 3

[vast bane]

wait that wouldn't work cause args[-1] would be a conc check sometimes if he hits a caster

oh thats way easy then

[scarlet gale]

ok so

[vast bane]

item update, if hit targets greater than 0, update resource

[scarlet gale]

if you hit with any attack

using the weapon they're already using

[tepid dock]

I suppose any melee attack would do it.

[tepid dock]

yes

[scarlet gale]

does it not get the damage of the regular attack?

[tepid dock]

It does that also, or it should rather

[scarlet gale]

then just let the player attack it normally

and do a feature with a -3 usage of holy power as the resource consumption

don't even need a macro

well I guess may still be needed if you want to prevent it from overfilling

[tepid dock]

Yea true, just was hoping to automate and attack, and if hits, add 3 holy power

[scarlet gale]

What is there to automate?

This feature doesn't have it's own attack roll....

[tepid dock]

Yea I guess thats what I was trying to automate, rolling for it automatically

[scarlet gale]

Does this feature just happen? Or do they have to declare they want to activate it?

is it limited?

[tepid dock]

Declare it

[scarlet gale]

then automating the trigger would just slow things down IMO

[tepid dock]

Yea I get you

[pliant matrix]

is there a way to create an effect that references another actor's level?

[spice kraken]

Maybe with a macro but not an AE

[spice kraken]

Actually, What are you trying to do exactly?

[pliant matrix]

I was trying to replicate the shepherd druid's totems; in this case I'm creating a macro that evokes an actor for me but I don't know how to scale the bonuses

[spice kraken]

Macros are out of my wheelhouse

[pliant matrix]

so do you know how to apply this effect?

"Unicorn Spirit. The unicorn spirit lends its protection to those nearby. You and your allies gain advantage on all ability checks made to detect creatures in the spirit’s aura. In addition, if you cast a spell using a spell slot that restores hit points to any creature inside or outside the aura, each creature of your choice in the aura also regains hit points equal to your druid level."

[spice kraken]

I create an aura with AA and have a TMFX animation play to let me know if players are in it, and the rest I just handle manually

[vast bane]

do you fast forward?

I would summon an actor with the creature type no target, and then whenever the druid heals, have the actor run a pulse aoe heal

if you want it all on one actor, you could give the druid a template heal aoe and have them always center on the totem

[hexed coral]

Hmmm.... Is ther a way to auto set a NPC's initiative to 20 when combat begins? 👀

[vast bane]

are you trying to make lair actions?

[hexed coral]

Kinda yea but I want it to represent a full NPC with a sheet

[vast bane]

well simbuls creature aide automates any lair actions on an actor in combat

it also does legendary action prompts

[hexed coral]

ah, nah I think I already have enough modules haha. Its starting to effect if my game opens or not haha

Ok so just have to do it manually

Cool cool.

[violet meadow]

Catching up with stuff.
Is this resolved @queen raptor ?

[solid mountain]

Anyone know how to set up the help action from chris premades? Can't find it in the compendiums.

[fringe crag]

Still on my eladrin problem. IS there a way to Exclude Cantrips when sorting for prepared stuff? I even put them on not always prepared...

[short aurora]

No, that's a system/core thing. You'll have to remove them to not see them there

Which you can macro, of course

[fringe crag]

I tried the custom sorting module but it I can only sort them into catergories but the categories are still in random order... I thought yay just prepare the spell on a change. If clerics can do it why not my sorcerer. Cantrips screwed that

[short aurora]

Cantrips system wise (and rule wise?) are just always prepared. The core way is to have a folder in the sidebar or a compendium with the choices characters have to switch out and just make the player do it

Drag and drop style

[fringe crag]

🥹

ok

[vast bane]

add cantrips as an items with spell

if you want them at the bottom

[fringe crag]

I want them at the top but only the ones that are prepared for the specific season she is playing that day. I just need them to not only prepare or change with the seasons. both is 100 fine. Or you mean one item per season she can just prepare?

will it work with twin and quickened spell?

[violet meadow]

Use illandril's inventory sorter

or am I missing the point of the question?

Yeah probably missed it altogether 😄

[fringe crag]

can you sort spells into different spelllists with it?

[fringe crag]

Got an Eldadrin with different spelllists per season which she has to roll daily. I try to remove or hide the ones for the other seasons so the spell list is not clustered with 40 spells at level 5. But something always screwes me up. Right now it's the missing possibility to unprepare cantrips or sort them correctly via Custom Character Sheet Sections

[violet meadow]

You could use TIdy5e with the Multiclass spellbook filter, or grab that module to manually install from my fork for v10 https://github.com/thatlonelybugbear/spell-class-filter-for-5e/releases/tag/10.0.0

Then, you could flag each day the rolled spells with a flag (shown in the screenshot) and these will be available in the Custom dropdown option as shown in the 2nd screenshot

I am not using the Custom Character Sheet Sections to offer a solution with that one. Probably in #dnd5e someone could offer more help on that one 🤷

[fringe crag]

so I would have to grab every spell and change the flag or can I do multiple custom ones and sort for that?

[violet meadow]

only one. But you roll each day right?

[fringe crag]

yea, but I hoped that she doesnt have to edit two spell lists each day after a rest

[violet meadow]

And you get the results. You can go through them and unset all previous flags and add the new ones in a macro automatically

The spell list is one

[fringe crag]

😵‍💫

sounds complicated

[violet meadow]

Actually to be precise, you got the Spellbook, which holds all spells.
But you can designate specific spells to be available in a specific list.

So for example if you have a Cleric/Wizard you designate a spell as Cleric or Wizard

How does she get the spells each day? And does she manually change them?

[fringe crag]

right now I imported them all and she needs to change preperation each day. BUT cantrips are staying what annoys me

i did a passive effect to let her prepare spells = level +1 because sorcerer normally aren't alowed to prepare

[violet meadow]

I would create a rolltable with the spells needed to change each day.
Roll on that table and use a macro to sort everything out for her.

[fringe crag]

so the spell list for each season is fixed. Only the Season changes daily. I hoped to add it into the changing season macro but chris said I should try the custom thing. But that flopped. Is there maybe a way to import a compendium and overwrite current spells or something?

[short aurora]

macros

all roads to macros

[violet meadow]

Put all needed spells in 4 different compendiums.
Create a rolltable with the 4 choices.
Roll it each day and replace current spells with the compendium from the RollTable result

[fringe crag]

and how would I override the spells?

manually drag and drop and delete?

[violet meadow]

delete them and reimport the needed ones

Automatically

It will take a bit of setting up, but then the player will only need to click once on the Rolltable and the rest will be done automatically ( #macro-polo ez pz 😄 )

[vast bane]

tag the spells that swap, have a macro that deletes all tagged spells, and a button to import all the ones of the day

[fringe crag]

I'll try to set it up

btw is there a flag, I could use for sunlight sensitivity and i.e a sunblade?

[violet meadow]

would the disadvantage be when you are in the bright light radius? Or the dim too?

[fringe crag]

dim too

[hasty jackal]

using MIDI can you add a +1 to saving throws when an item is equipped?

[fringe crag]

theoretically I think you could use those

[violet meadow]

Sooo one take for that.

Create a Sunlight Sensitivity feature on the creature that attacks.

On the defender creature try this. DAE with:
Attribute key: flags.midi-qol.grants.disadvantage.attack.all,
Change Mode: Custom,
Effect Value: ```js
fromUuidSync(tokenUuid).actor.effects.some(eff=>eff.label === "Sunlight Sensitivity") && findNearby(null,game.user.targets.first(),game.user.targets.first().document.light.dim).some(t=>t===fromUuidSync(tokenUuid).object)

When a Sunlight sensitive creature attacks, will do that with disadvantage when inside the dim light radius

[fringe crag]

but inside of every dim light or only the one of the weapon?

thanks! 🙂

[violet meadow]

The weapon's. It can add that DAE in as well along with the rest

It should be a more generic one to affect all targets 🤔

You could add a DAE on the Sunlight Sensitivity feature, which checks if that creature is inside the dim radius of a light of a specific type.

like Sunburst animation maybe

It would probably need a World Script for that tbh.

@fringe crag try this for giggles.

On the Sunlight Sensitivity feature, create a transfer to actor on item equip AE with
Attribute key: flags.midi-qol.disadvantage.attack.all,
Change Mode: Custom,
Effect Value: ```js
findNearby(null,tokenUuid,100).some(function (t) {if (t.document.light.animation.type==="sunburst" && MidiQOL.getDistance(t,fromUuidSync(tokenUuid).object) <= t.document.light.dim) return true})

Then, create on a token a Sunburst animation type light

and move the attacker with the sunlight sensitivity in and out the dim radius of that light

Blimey, seems to work!

(if someone can try the above, I would be thankful, cause I am running a heavily modded MidiQOL right now as I am testing some things out 😅 )

[fringe crag]

I'll try

that worked great

in dim too, had the best possible outcome to test. haha

[violet meadow]

Added in https://github.com/thatlonelybugbear/FoundryMacros/wiki/Item-Ideas#sunlight-sensitivity-attacking-disadvantage

Conditional disadvantage on skill checks not yet implemented in MidiQOL.

[fringe crag]

and the second one sounds way easier than the first one haha

just have to make every sunlight effect the same lightanimation 😄

and never use it for normal light next to undead xD

[violet meadow]

It needs some sort of distinction so as to emulate the conditional check.

I thought of that one. If you want another check, it could probably be included

You can change the sunburst type to whatever you like too. You can find the relevant light types by typing in console ```js
CONFIG.Canvas.lightAnimations

[fringe crag]

yea i changed it to starlight, because that's my fav. sunblade like light animation. But I don't know how to do it for spells like Daylight 😄 but Thats not that important. the blade was more important

[violet meadow]

You could create a token with a light animation when casting Daylight, as the source of the light

[fringe crag]

yea just have to change the light range depending on the spell. That should work

Thanks! 🙂

[violet meadow]

Give it a custom type of NoTarget so that MidiQOL disregards it from AoE spells

There was a module that would allow light from hidded tokens be visible, but it's not v10 compatible 🤔

Invisible statuseffect kinda helps

[strong yew]

Man, it is so hard to keep up with this chat lol. Don't look at it for 12 hours and there's like 1000 new messages

I wonder if there's a way to refine reactions based on what is triggering them

some of my players aren't exactly game or technically savvy. Honestly should just be on them to learn, but it's piqued my curiosity

[violet meadow]

What would a relevant trigger be?

[strong yew]

I imagine there has to be some kind of trigger built into Midi right? Like "Target hit > prompt for reactions"

Parsing the args sent at that point to see what happened maybe? something like "Damage type = not fire,cold,etc" would exclude absorb elements?

My monk player and one other get confused when everything pops up for reaction, and sometimes press something inappropriate.

Sounds silly I know, should be on them. Just trying to avoid headaches in battle for me to clean things up

Some of my players are pretty atypically older than the avg I would suspect

[violet meadow]

MidiQOL reaction system will need some refinement tbh. I think tposney was thinking about it.

I have been trying some modifications to that extent (and offering reactions from other sources too)

[strong yew]

Obviously some things are way too versatile to even consider like Silvery Barbs

But I have noticed Absorb Elements kind of pops up whenever any damage is done

[violet meadow]

Indeed, there is room for improvement!

Filtering against relevant attacking ItemType is a big one

[strong yew]

Yeah I just haven't really dived into that whole area yet

[violet meadow]

Like Counterspell shouldn't prompt for a reaction if the Item rolled is a weapon

[hasty jackal]

can you add to an item the effect "advantage on saving throws vs spells"?

and disadvantage when a spell targets you

[strong yew]

Yeah, just trying to not harry out my players with prompts when I can. One of them previous had crusher, savage attacker, and draconic strike. So every attack would be like "Change damage type? reroll dice? move 5 ft??"

like old early pop-up heavy internet

[violet meadow]

https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol#magic-resistance

[strong yew]

This is similar to Gnome cunning right?

might be a premade for that somewhere

[violet meadow]

Will be in MidiSRD in the next release

[strong yew]

Isn't gnome cunning advantage on savings throws?

[violet meadow]

against spells, int, wis and cha saves

[hasty jackal]

yeah but i just need against spell saves and disadvantage vs spell attacks

ill need to check the midiqol effects

[violet meadow]

flags.midi-qol.grants.disadvantage.attack.msak Custom 1 and
flags.midi-qol.grants.disadvantage.attack.rsak Custom 1

Use these modules, don't make srd items from scratch install CPR and midi srd, then if both modules are enabled and all of CPR's stuff is turned on, at the top of each of your items will be a button that turns your shitty manual items into automated ones.

Now and again and not in any kind of structure, as a DM, I log in and every attack roll is auto rolled with disadvantage, until I refresh the page and then it goes back to how it should be.

Logged on as all my players and it doesn't affect them at all. Can't do FTC because it isn't consistent, anyone have a similar experience?

[vast bane]

FTC is unreliable if you do not pre enable the usual dependencies like socetlib, libwrapper, wall height, sequencer, warpgate, and lib color settings before you start the run(and the obvious modules related to the problem)

always having advantage is typically unsetup vision settings and/or having retroactive advantage/readyset roll installed(or better rolls)

[hasty jackal]

oh nice

[narrow saddle]

The problem here is, is that the problem corrects itself when refreshed, so refreshing after each run of FTC is useless.

[hasty jackal]

thanks

[vast bane]

When my server had low ram, I had a glitch where a player, and even myself would not load every module. It could be that you might have adequate vision installed yeah? And in those times where your rolling always advantage, adequate vision never loaded for your client.

you could also have sticky keys

I really really wish tposney forced attribution on all the time on midi, to solve all of the various "Why is there disadvantage/advantage" issues in this channel hehe

[narrow saddle]

Here look I have found where it happens in Console. But I have no idea what it means.

[vast bane]

in the tab where you can export/import midi settings, there is a drop down in there very close to the top that changes tooltip info, change that option to ATTRIBUTION. Then when you have THAT happen, expand the attack and it tells you WHY

I'm writing a github issue to request this on all the time lol

worth pointing out if attribution doesn't show anything, then your advantage was done by the user, or by another module

99% of all unknown advantage/disadvantage is the new hidden flag, because one or both tokens have no vision settings

excluding the obvious of using incaompatible modules

[narrow saddle]

Attribution either didn't show anything or I don't now where to look. 😕

[vast bane]

I'm spinning up my world, show me what your attacks look like

in chat

[vast bane]

click on the 2d20kl + 3 + 4 + 2

yours is gonna say hidden

cause you are smacking a duergar with invisible on or the vision settings of the attacker is fubar

[narrow saddle]

Invisible was taken off the Duergar before the attack and there are no active effects on the Duergar, however I have just tried attacking a none Duergar and it isn't rolling with disadvantage.

But still it shouldn't be auto-rolling.

[kind cape]

Check your keybinds, they are user specific and you might be accidentally holding down the disadvantage button

[vast bane]

Do you have ready set roll or retroactive advantage installed and enabled? That is a direct telltale sign of either of those modules being active with midi read the first pin in this channel

[narrow saddle]

I will check but I am not holding down any keys when attacking.

[narrow saddle]

Nope none of those.

[vast bane]

if you turned on attribution expand that attack and show us

the one you shared already where you never expanded the attack

bypassing the popouts and always rolling disadvantage, is either the user using keyboard shortcuts they didn't realize, retroactive advantage, ready set roll, better rolls, or something new that should be added to the list.

[vast bane]

devolver is a ranged attack within 5ft

Reg Shoe likely has an enemy near them on ANY scene

if hes a linked actor

it can be another map that you have no active user on

no thats keybinds

you are holding down or have a sticky key

[narrow saddle]

Yeah could be but do you now what is really weird.

When I set up the combat, the two Duergar were hidden on the combat tracker. When we got round to round two and the Duergar were not hidden on the tracker anymore, this problem has gone away.

[vast bane]

yep that is definitely you holding down your disadvantage key

[kind cape]

Yeah rollOptions indicate a keybind

[narrow saddle]

Devolver is a Shortsword, but is a magic item that can be thrown up to 30ft so it has a range too, and I have just realised the problem I have put in the details about this.

[vast bane]

that is a monks combat details setting and is unrelated, it auto hhides the actors, were they hidden to YOU?

[narrow saddle]

Really appreciate all your help both. I am not holding down a key. 😦

[narrow saddle]

No not hidden to me, were greyed out on the tracker, that is from Mini Tracker that uses Monks yeah.

[vast bane]

if they were hidden to even you, that is actually chat GIF module and LOL I hear you on that, that is the weirdest module interaction with the tracker I've ever seen, I love the module but have to shut it off if my group does combat.

[vast bane]

thats cause either they were hidden, or invisible and theres a setting in MLD/MCD where tokens aren't shown if hidden and don't show their turns till they have them to prevent metagaming the first round

other modules might have a similar setting but for me thats MLD(cause i'm stubborn and haven't updated past his split of the module)

its probably in monks combat details post split

[narrow saddle]

OK deleted all keybinds relating to Adv/Dis ha ha

[stoic seal]

Remind me but can Build A Bonus work alongside Ready Set Roll?

[vast bane]

this chanel is for midiqol, and ready set roll Midiqol cannot run with ready set roll

[stoic seal]

k

[strong yew]

If this is set to ranged, it will get disadv to within 5ft

I just ran into this on Psychic daggers from Soulknife Rogue

you can set it to melee, but still keep the range setting on the card

[vast bane]

and that definitely can happen to a linked actor who has a hostile creature on ANY scene, I had this happen last session to the player and realized after the fact that a hostile dummy was next to them in the landing page causing it

[narrow saddle]

WOW that is really weird, just reset the combat, when Reg attacks a Duergar that is hidden to him in combat tracker it auto-rolls, but when the Duergar has had its turn and it now visible in the tracker, it does not auto roll.
It doesn't roll with disadvantage at least, not that the keybinds have been disabled.

[vast bane]

split that weapon up

don't do a ranged/melee weapon as one item

[narrow saddle]

Yeah it is set as a melee weapon with a range 30ft.

[kind cape]

Mango is gonna be real sad to know that his module doesn't work with itself 😂

[vast bane]

just wakin up I need coffee

[vast bane]

I dunno what that is, but I'm worried its a zhell macro in midiqol

if it is, its ok if you don't automate damage at all in midi I suppose

[quiet solar]

nah - it's my wand of magic missiles - very much midi

[kind cape]

Did you post that anywhere? Looks pretty nice

[vast bane]

does it handle the complicated targetting

[quiet solar]

it applies in order of targeting, round-robin style

[dark canopy]

working on getting it submitted 🙂

[quiet solar]

but I do want to enhance it to allow for choosing # of missiles per target -- just haven't quite wanted to bite off the FormApplication chunk yet

[vast bane]

I found a booboo in midi srd

https://github.com/thatlonelybugbear/midi-srd/issues/4

if anyone wants to manually fix it, minus the damage formula

And since CPR combines, I can't tell which one does it but I assume since theres a description that its probably midiSRD

Chris you might wanna append the description with what compendium the items from otherwise people are gonna start reporting midi samples and midi srd items to your git

wow I thought the tint error was dae and even reported it to tposney, it was dfreds the whole time hehe
#package-releases message

[scarlet gale]

When you use the item replacer it tells you what compendium was used.

[vast bane]

yeah but as an example, I didn't look when I updated all 4 actors prepared spells, so I had to kinda guess 2 days later where divine favor came from

I think yer gonna wind up with midi srd bug reports unfortunately, I knew to report it there

I'm basically working by the logic that yours have no descriptions and midi srd does, hehe

Or /shrug you could just take it and invite bugbear to your discord lol

[scarlet gale]

Ehh, it'll be easy enough to figure what is my issue or not

I don't want to append names to things

[vast bane]

I have the SRD 5.1 in a bookmark cause its so hard to tell what spells are SRD and hwat ones aren't since the source on them says PHB instead of SRD

I was thinkin append in the description

kinda how you can always tell a sample item is a sample item cause he always puts something at the bottom

[quiet solar]

Probably another remedial javascript question, but I was thinking about namespace collision because I have classes like Wand and Magic Missile (OK, fine - I only have those classes so far, but...) and It seems like best practice to 'package' them somehow under myFancyModuleName but I don't know if that's even a thing in js... moved to #module-development

[scarlet gale]

I think ESModules avoids that issue?

I haven't touched making classes, so I have no idea how that works.

[quiet solar]

ah - I have them in "scripts" currently - I'll look into the difference

[scarlet gale]

#module-development or #macro-polo may be better able to help you with that

[quiet solar]

you're right - wrong channel - ty

[violet meadow]

In the next release, all Midi SRD Items will be based on the Dnd5e SRD included ones.

So no more, PHB and whatnow. They will include the SRD 5.1 title

[scarlet gale]

Does DAE/Midi have a way to reference the DC of the item being used instead of the spellcaster's DC?

Was making an overtime and realized the copy and paste I always use for the DC part is just the spellcasting DC

[vast bane]

I use flat for those niche situations

[scarlet gale]

and that would be wrong for multiclassed characters

[vast bane]

you can do the longform dc like my copy/paste

saveDC=@attributes.spelldc,
saveDC=@abilities.str.dc,
saveDC=@abilities.dex.dc,
saveDC=@abilities.con.dc,
saveDC=@abilities.int.dc,
saveDC=@abilities.wis.dc,
saveDC=@abilities.cha.dc,
saveDC=@abilities.san.dc,
saveDC=@abilities.hon.dc,
saveDC=##,

[scarlet gale]

I can just make the effect in a macro

but I was hoping something like @item.dc would exist or something

[vast bane]

I wonder if you can reference that value

the field where you enter the number for flat I mean

[scarlet gale]

bleh

How has this never come up before?

[vast bane]

I think many of us don't bother with that spell scroll rule lol

[scarlet gale]

this is for multiclassing

[short aurora]

Pretty sure the entire item's data is logged

Ah, didn't read it was for overtime, mb, might not be exposed

[vast bane]

I think the best way to handle multiclass shared spells is to duplicate the spells and have one set to int and one set to cha or whatever in those situations and don't use spelldc calls

[scarlet gale]

thats the thing

I would still need to set the DC right in the overtime

and using the spellcasting DC would be wrong

[vast bane]

right use the abilities.whatever.dc

[scarlet gale]

having to edit the overtime isn't ideal for what I'm doing

[vast bane]

you'd have to set them up manually specifically for each use case

[scarlet gale]

Guess I'll just apply the effect via a macro instead

[vast bane]

yeah multiclassing is messy if the casting ability is not identical

[scarlet gale]

Now I need to check if I'm using any other overtimes doing this too

[feral briar]

In my session last night a few different attacks, both ranged and melee, were auto-rolling with disadvantage and i couldn't seem to figure out why it was doing it. Is there some common mistake I might be making or something?

[vast bane]

Midi now requires sight to be setup on all monsters or the players will get unseen attacker advantage. You can still toggle off vision check box, but range and detection settings must be present. You can shut this off in midi rules tab, second checkbox from the top.

I recommend using this setting and instead fixing your monsters vision settings

however...this is painful that I have to keep saying this lol...I really wish midiqol had attribution on by default

this would solve many of these "why do I have advantage" questions

[feral briar]

I appreciate your telling me. Sorry it's a common thing. I don't check this discord too often

[vast bane]

in the tab with export/import settings, there is a drop down very close to those two buttons that has "Attribution" in it, set it to one of those, and for now on, whenever you have an advantage/disadvantage you don't understand, expand the attack and you can see why.

[feral briar]

It sounds like that's exactly what was wrong. It was both my human characters that were having disadvantage. I'm assuming they couldn't see

[vast bane]

I really wish this setting was on by default cause so many people get confused by the new hidden setting thats on by default

theres really no reason not to have attribution on as its informative, highly recommend flipping it on:

If you have it on, it will show stuff like this:

in my snippet the actor had advantage do to an mwak key on an active effect

ADV.rollOptions means the user had the key held down for advantage/disadvantage

"Hidden" means the vision settings weren't set right on either the attack, the victim, or both

if its rolling advantage/disadvantage and theres no attribution, that means you have a bad module installed alongside midi

I would also point out that if you use advantage reminder, you don't need this setting

its on and in the AR messages

[feral briar]

Thank you for all the info! I am trying to get my foundry pulled up to follow your instructions and get it fixed

[violet meadow]

Nice! I have included (well not yet, but in next release) in MidiSRD, a Staff of Striking similar to that one based on a macro shared here in #1010273821401555087.

I am pondering if I will include a proper Wand of Magic Missiles too.

[solid mountain]

Magic Missile... that spell is my bane. Never really get it working well.

[violet meadow]

Let me take a look at the macro for it. Now where did it come from initially, this bugbear remembers not

[vast bane]

I use the standard version and then just hit the legacy button X more times on various targets, takes a few extra clicks but is never a drag in combat(must have legacy buttons on if you are using condense/merge)

I subscribe to the belief that MM is a simultaneous effect therefore its 1 roll

So if its all on one target, I target them, roll once, then tap the manual button X times, if its multiple targets then I just target them all, and double tap the extra on sames

[solid mountain]

Yeah, that could sorta work. Possibly slight abuse if the player switches target when one goes down when they otherwise would have shot more.

Oups... I just noticed my DF broke with the last update.

DF CE

[vast bane]

what broke about it?

Tposney is on vacation so it would be ill advised as a midi user to update dfreds ce above 4.1.1

nested CE's are already broken in midi 34+

to fix them you must duplicate them and unnest them

[feral briar]

Not sure if this is a midi question or not honestly, but I am trying to set up my Wild Magic Sorcerer's tides of chaos and I'm trying to make it do a pop-up whenever they have to make a saving throw. Is there something I should be putting into Activation Condition for that? I have it as a reaction because I know reactions do that pop-up, but I don't want it to pop up when they're just attacked

[solid mountain]

I don't wanna spam the midi channel with it, but short version is the button for the ce doesn't even work. 🙂

[wide crystal]

Hey there, would any kind soul be willing to advise on how to trigger an active effect on critical hit?

Would that be done via Activation Condition (or does that only apply to "Other" formula?) or perhaps On Use Macros?

My case is that I want the Crusher feat to apply [Advantage on attacks against target] on critical hits with my hammer. I have the Effect set up on the hammer, I just don't know how to stop it from triggering on-hit and reserve it to crits only... Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

[feral briar]

Haha I'm out here trying to figure out what Activation Condition is too

[vast bane]

what button for CE?

[vast bane]

wiki pin in this channel

[vast bane]

revert to 4.1.1 and alert dfred to the issue on his git

[solid mountain]

Already did, but thanks. 🙂

[feral briar]

You're truly a Saint and I apologize once again because I always forget to check pins

[vast bane]

it is inadviseable to update dfreds CE while tposney is on vacation since dfreds and midi are heavily dependend on them collaborating versions

[vast bane]

Bugbear made this for us a while back i can share it

[wide crystal]

That would be amazing, maybe I can learn something.

[vast bane]

@scarlet gale what is the code you write for macropass in an ae for after active effects?

[scarlet gale]

huh?

[vast bane]

?

[scarlet gale]

oh that

postActiveEffects

[vast bane]

is ItemMacro right there?

[scarlet gale]

Looks like it

I do intend to make my own version of those feats eventually to use my queue system for damage modification

[solid mountain]

Chris. 🙂 While you are here. How do I implement the Help Action you recently added?

[scarlet gale]

Find it in class features under generic

drag it onto whatever actor you want

I need to find a better compendium to put it in

[solid mountain]

I... so sure I looked through them all, I'm sorry.

[scarlet gale]

I didn't want to make a whole new one just for help action lol

[vast bane]

oh shit, I never fixed the URL error in his crusher macro he gave me so eventually Bugbears gonna see this copy paste and slap me:(Or badger since its a warpgate mistake)

Create a Feature that has an active effect transfer on equip:

In the itemmacro on the item on the top bar paste this macro into it:

NOTE, the active effect assumes you named the item Crusher

my version here has a 404 error when using the warpgate crosshair, I forgot to employ the fix for it that bugbear shared to me a long time ago

In my defense I never see it as the player sees it and never complained when I forgot to fix it lol

[wide crystal]

Goodness, you're a star. Thank you for taking the time to help all the legions of such clueless people as me 😄

So just to be clear, by item Crusher, you mean the feat, correct? Not the weapon?

[vast bane]

theres a few datas in there that are gonna throw compatibility warnings, honestyl bugbear has the v10 version somewhere he will likely share in a few lol

mine works fine for my table though

in v10

[wide crystal]

I will give it a go and see how it behaves.

[dark canopy]

that reminds me i should put a "bounded token move" example on the wg wiki

[vast bane]

I'm pretty sure the 404 is caused by this line: crosshairs.icon = args[0].hitTargets[0].texture.src

[dark canopy]

lots of unnecessary hoops being jumped through here 🙂 , that macroexecute at the bottom hurts my wg mutate soul 😂

[vast bane]

this was made by bugbear during actually v9 foundry so its more my fault for using his old version

I know he has a refined version

[dark canopy]

oh, origin doesnt matter 🧠 can always be improved upon.

ah, but an updated one may be a better start

[vast bane]

this one works other than the fact the cross hair has an ! triangle instead of the token image

[violet meadow]

@vast bane its in here: https://github.com/thatlonelybugbear/FoundryMacros/blob/main/MidiQOL_related/Feats_5e/v10/5e Feat - Crusher.js

[vast bane]

You may want to use his linked new one, but I forgot to give you this folder macro too:

named moveToken

console.log(args)
let ttoken = canvas.tokens.get(args[0])

const {x,y} = canvas.grid.getSnappedPosition(args[4]-10, args[5]-10);
ttoken.document.update({x, y},{animate:true})

I'm actually swapping to his linked version now

[wide crystal]

I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I'm already confused by where these go... 😅

[violet meadow]

No need for that. Only warpgate

[wide crystal]

So the feat and effect creations are straightforward. But then... Where do I paste the chunk in, in the weapon under "On Use Macros"?

[violet meadow]

@wide crystal take a look at the linked macro. It has a how to in the beginning

[vast bane]

oh shit just now realizing with his readme there that its warpgate doing the odd prompts for the GM now

I assumed it was a midi thing

[solid mountain]

Do you know where custom DF convenient effects data stored?

[vast bane]

if you downgrade to 4.1.1 and create a new item, you will see it in the sidebar cause of the bug in 4.1.1 lol DON"T DELETE IT

to all users here, do NOT delete the Custom Convenient Effects item in the sidebar

[wide crystal]

Ah, so I simply create a Macro (say, on the hotbar) and paste this as a script. Is that correct?

[vast bane]

it is ALL your dfreds DATA accidentally exposed through a bug

[solid mountain]

How convenient. 🙂

[vast bane]

to the left of the hotbar is a folder button to do it without making an unnecessary button

if you go the folder macro route, name it and remember its name, and read his info at the top of the macro

you'll be doing a folder macro method, so the second example where he gave a crusher123 example is how you'd be doing it

ignore "crusherISDABOMB" example if you do a system macro

[plain bane]

Hello, does anyone know if midiqol's snake attack is working, I've tried everything my knowledge can allow and it doesn't work, can anyone help me?

[solid mountain]

Yeah, looks like some is missing.

[dark canopy]

shhh, shhh, no tears now, only warpgate

[vast bane]

what do you mean?

are you saying that upgrading to 4.1.2 caused data loss?

[violet meadow]

Magic Missiles try 1

ItemMacro | After Active Effects.

Target empty | empty | Creature
No damage formula

(based on a macro from someone, maybe Crymic, Kandashi, and a few others that come to mind. Will try to find an origin)

[solid mountain]

Nope.
Turned out it wasn't related to the upgrade at all.

Lesson learned: Do NOT rename effects that are in nested effects.

[vast bane]

I probably should have prefaced thatthat bug should not be exploited as that is a dangerous chance at losing your data

I'll edit the post above lol

but nesteds in dfreds CE, in THIS channel, is not a thing

thats a feature for everyone outside this channel

Midi does not like nesteds yet for dfreds

[violet meadow]

#1010273821401555087 message

Try these steps

[solid mountain]

Turned out I had created a custom nested effect, then foolishly renamed one of the nested ones. This caused the module to break when trying to load the menu since it was referring to an effect that doesn't exist. I could fix it by editing items.db. But that's dangerous. 🙂

[solid mountain]

I'm trying this out!

[vast bane]

@reef bluff

If you were infact using midiqol for that sneak attack, if you have copied the midi sample item for sneak attack to the rogue player, follow bugbears link just above this message.

[vast bane]

isn't there a bug in 35 where macro.itemmacro is not properly equipping?

or the sneak attack key is not doing it right

[violet meadow]

not exactly sure where it comes from but yeah there is an issue

For now make sure that you use ItemMacro.item Name

[wide crystal]

Sorry, is this still necessary or did Bugbear say to ignore this? For some reason the effect doesn't trigger, so I'm trying to figure it out.

[vast bane]

go to bugbears macro link

[plain bane]

I already did this scheme there, although I don't know if it's right, but it didn't work

[wide crystal]

I have, I used that.

[vast bane]

hes the original author and rewrote it much cleaner

[wide crystal]

Gotcha.

[vast bane]

its all one package item in his link

technically we could make a blank item and send it to you, but the mods here don't like us sharing actual items

[violet meadow]

share a screenshot of how its set up if there is still an issue

[reef bluff]

Is this right? https://i.imgur.com/FyEibrv.png

[vast bane]

I don't see DAE, are you a midi user?

the folks in dnd5e might have been overzealous with their broom this time

[reef bluff]

ye

whats DAE?

[vast bane]

Its technically not required for midi but...I'm pretty sure it is for you in this case

Dynamic Effects using Active Effects Module

[violet meadow]

As Moto says, DAE will be needed for this kind of macros with MidIQOL.

The effect should be though macro.itemMacro | Custom | ItemMacro.Sneak Attack

[reef bluff]

Ok guess I dont have that module

[vast bane]

I also see a totally unrelated issue in your snippet if you want to tackle that after sneak attack just ask me about it

[wide crystal]

This is how I have it.

[violet meadow]

are you on DAE 10.0.24?

[wide crystal]

Correct.

[vast bane]

Does it work?

[wide crystal]

It does not.

[vast bane]

We should probably also clarify that the macro requires warpgate module too lol.

[solid mountain]

That worked well! Cool!
Might be worth tweaking the popup for ease of use.

[vast bane]

Everyone here should not be using DAE 24

DAE 24 is bugged, you need to downgrade to DAE 23

[violet meadow]

yeah that is in the to do... (not soon)

[vast bane]

which means we just sent the new guy to get DAE and they installed 24 woops

[violet meadow]

not sure it's bugged for that key

[wide crystal]

Okay, in that case I'll have to do that tomorrow, as I'm not the host.

[violet meadow]

let me double check

[vast bane]

do you have warpgate?

[wide crystal]

Correct.

[vast bane]

honestly a bunch of core dnd5e midi items break in dae 24, rage noteably

wait its the update keys right?

not the damagemacro key

[wide crystal]

That's not a question for me, is it? 😄

[vast bane]

oh shit, crusher doesn't work with gridless....noooooooo

could this be a crosshair related issue?

does warpgate require grid?

it gives me a ton of false "on top of token" warnings

well, it gave me 3

[vast bane]

ok heres my theory on your reason its not working

I think you used my macro

OR, you used a selection of his macro instead of copying RAW

[wide crystal]

Let me re-paste that, but I'm quite positive I used Bugbear's.

[vast bane]

use the copy raw button

[wide crystal]

That could be the case.

[vast bane]

OH

you didn't show us if the item has its ae to transfer on equip, and looking at it now, it does not appear to be

transfer on equip would have a lil hand icon there

[plain bane]

I don't know where I'm going wrong

[vast bane]

@wide crystal if you edit the active effect for crusher, the first tab it needs to have transfer on equip checked

those other two ae's also aren't setup that way fyi but I suspect you corrected that

[reef bluff]

https://i.imgur.com/peZP7Tc.png
https://i.imgur.com/0JTFKMH.png

[violet meadow]

OK just tested, Crusher should be working fine MidiQOL 10.035 and DAE 10.0.24

[reef bluff]

Followed the steps and no result for sneak attack prompt

[violet meadow]

Did you change the Items on the sidebar or on the Actor?

[vast bane]

I am 99% convinced this is yet another run through of turning on attribution... let me scroll up and copy/paste

[wide crystal]

That hand icon has me confused as well, as sometimes it shows, sometimes it doesn't.

Here's how I have it set up.

I set it to "not stack by name" thinking that this means effects with the same name will not overlap, is that correct?
Then I have the Str +1 and Con +1 set as "don't stack by origin", so that it only allows one of them.

[reef bluff]

renamed in the sidebar

[vast bane]

I suspect your attack has a hidden disadvantage/advantage

Ironically the hidden attribution is probably hidden

[wide crystal]

I really appreciate you taking the time @violet meadow and @vast bane ...

[vast bane]

Crusher:Advantage 🤔 what is that?

[reef bluff]

change to that setting?

[vast bane]

yes, then make the attack again, and expand the attack and see what the flags are

I suspect there are two keys on the actor firing preventing sneak prompts

[wide crystal]

Crusher advantage is this effect (also the 1st screenshot in my previous message).

[violet meadow]

oh Houston we have a problem

It seems multiple flags.midi-qol.onUseMacroName calls to ItemMacro.xxxx on the same Actor are fracked up

[vast bane]

oh boy

each one needs a manual entry?

[violet meadow]

What's the name of the Crusher feat?

where the ItemMacro is upon?

[wide crystal]

Crusher.

[reef bluff]

https://i.imgur.com/7sIF0hi.png

[violet meadow]

OK use ItemMacro.Crusher, postActiveEffects as the effect value

[reef bluff]

https://i.imgur.com/HVPjK73.png

They should have advantage just based on being flanked right?

[vast bane]

in my image above I showed you that you can click on the attack roll and it expands

[reef bluff]

https://i.imgur.com/Glr2rYp.png

[vast bane]

did you change the setting?

[reef bluff]

yesa

[violet meadow]

false alarm. nothing to see here 😄

[vast bane]

you do not have advantage on the attack

[vast bane]

this is going to be bad for CPR users isn't it?

that looks like a "Everyone use midi 33" problem

[violet meadow]

for anyone using multiple ItemMacro calls 🤔

[vast bane]

who uses midi and has just one itemmacro

[wide crystal]

Oh shoot. I apologise, but the mistake was a silly one on my part. It now appears to work correctly - the effect was indeed not applied and the screenshots I sent were of the Feat unequipped, instead of the one on my character (which means changes were not applying). @violet meadow @vast bane

Once again, huge thanks for all your help.

[vast bane]

make sure your players are always linked actors just incase that was the issue

[wide crystal]

This is some amazing work. It's not clear I would not have been able to get even close to replicating crusher 😄

Do I want to ask what the difference between linked and unlinked is? 😄

[vast bane]

You do not appear to have flanking rules on

or you are not using roll automation?

[reef bluff]

does the player have to roll with advantage? I thought midi would be able to tell when they had advantage. Like I applied paralyze and it didnt roll advantage

[vast bane]

you don't have any flags setup

but that shouldn't be an issue if an ally is adjacent

I suspect you don't have midi setup yet

if he was infact flanking you'd see a flanking flag in attribution

[reef bluff]

I did set it up a while ago

[violet meadow]

If you manually roll with advantage, does the Dialog for Sneak Attack pop up?

[vast bane]

wow, I have to undo gridless, it breaks flanking too

lol Midiqol cannot have Euclidean set???

[violet meadow]

@scarlet gale can you replicate this or have I messed up my MidiQOL installation too much?

[violet meadow]

false alarm

[scarlet gale]

That's weird

it looks like you're missing the name of the macro?

[violet meadow]

You will need to make the ranges 7.5 or something

[scarlet gale]

I've had multiple on use macros work fine for me

[violet meadow]

It concats all the flags.midi-qol.onUseMacroName

[scarlet gale]

You don't happen to have one accidently set to overwrite?

If you export me the actor, I can give it a spin on my setup

[violet meadow]

Will take another look later cause I have been playing around with Midi files

[vast bane]

I think the fastest way to help you is to convince you to export your current midi settingsand then take an import from either me or one of the fst forward guys to test theirs/ours on your sneak attack

it looks like you have critical midi settings set to off

If you fast forward, you may want someone like bugbears settings, if you don't fast forward, then you'll want mine

[violet meadow]

OK false alarm... I imported a user's item without checking it...

[verbal compass]

Hey moto, thank you for the json, but it is still not working. I was able to import, I dont have CUB, but i dont believe that would be an issue to get this to work. but if thats the case i feel stupid but easy solution. but other words i am not sure what is preventing the effects to go on the a player.

[vast bane]

can you show me/refresh my memory on your issue?

[quiet solar]

I didn't think this could be done in a dialog -- I am going to be studying this one for a bit (and then steal it, with credit of course)

[reef bluff]

I want it as like it will do all the rolls but not fast forward the damage being applied. Cause I play with the AC rule where if attack matches AC it does half damage. So I want to be able to apply half.

[violet meadow]

I still need to find the original author that this is based upon

[vast bane]

in workflow button/workflow tab/damage section, theres a ddrop down set to YES + Card, change that to NO or one of the no's

[reef bluff]

ye its no + damage card atm

[verbal compass]

completly fair it has been a day.
I have been trying to use ablities like rage, and have the effect from the freature to show up on the player token. I have Dae, and followed the basic intructions and i have Midi QOL added in your setting you sent me, and still it is not adding to the players token.

[vast bane]

heh, you two confused me for a moment, sorry I got darune and detrivance crossed

[verbal compass]

hahaha.

[vast bane]

Here is my non fast forward settings for the folks that want to test settings

export your current ones so you can quickly change back, my settings are...less automated than the usual midi users tastes

in the MISC tab of midiqol workflow button is the export/import option

[vast bane]

can you show me the details tab of the rage item, and the active effects first and third tab on the ITEM

Also can botyh Detrivance and Darune Larch read the first pin in this channel and confirm you guys are not using any naughty modules?

[vast bane]

once you import my settings, the attribution on the attack should start saying things, however if it doesn't say flanking, then either you aren't using midi, not likely, or those actors around your source actor are ALL red, hold down ALT

[verbal compass]

I believe this is what you have requested if i am missing somthing please confirm what. and i will look at the pin to see if i am using one of the modules

[verbal compass]

looks like i am using a naughty modlue, which i will be said to see go. ready set roll. while this does not work with this, would this cause the issue we are talking about.

[vast bane]

click the pencil square edit buttoon in either of those right hand windows you sent, those are the wrong ones

[vast bane]

Yes it would

[verbal compass]

yup ok that was it. thank you. it was just that simple as removing that module.

[vast bane]

how are you doing with your issue?

damn it

D's man, they get me everytime

[reef bluff]

Tried your settings moto and it still didnt prompt for sneak attack

[vast bane]

Gonna need to have you two put numbers on your forhead

[verbal compass]

at the moment it looks like its working just fine. i need to do some more test, before i am 100% confirm i am good, aaaand you are talking to the other guy. well good luck.

[vast bane]

hold ALT down on the map, what color are all the squares, two reds, or two blues must surround someone to get advantage and a same color ally must be adjacent for a non advantage sneak

ALSO, show me the attacks attribution list

Click on the top attack area, in my image its the 2d20kh stuff, if you click there it expands and shows you the flags:

If your token colors are set right, then I suspect your suffering from advantage and disadvantage and sneak cannot happen if the workflow has disadvantage

[reef bluff]

omg shift alt printscreen is apparently a windows hotkey

[vast bane]

just Alt

[reef bluff]

shift printscreen is my hotkey for ss

[vast bane]

alt should highlight the borders and tell you who is hostile/ally/player

startmenu+shift+S is snippet in windows 8+ systems

its a faster snippet share tool

[reef bluff]

https://i.imgur.com/pTWqP7v.png

[violet meadow]

OK what about the console. Any warnings or errors?

[vast bane]

ok cause you have a green, sometimes, usually caused by modules, a green can actually be a red, can you double right click the green on the left and see the disposition setting and make sure its not hostile

player owned can sometimes screw up dispositions and hide a hostile

[reef bluff]

friendly

[vast bane]

I think this is likely bugbears direction then, its the damagemacro bug since it references an item.macro

you are gonna see 3 yellow errors in the console when he rolls

Someone else here had the issue, and they copy/pasted my effect value and it started to work

but I updated to midi 35 so mine are broken now too

yeah sneak attack breaks in midi 35

woops dragged out auto instead of normal

[vast bane]

Which one of these did you drag out? Auto alone does nothing

[reef bluff]

the 2nd

[vast bane]

if you want auto sneak, both need to be on the actor

[violet meadow]

@reef bluff

1. Delete Sneak Attack Item from the Actor.
2. Delete Sneak Attack Item(s) from the Sidebar.
3. Import Sneak Attack Item from MidiQOL sample items compendium.
4. Edit the imported Item's name to be Sneak Attack.
5. Edit the imported Item and the DAE's Effect Value to be ItemMacro.Sneak Attack
6. Drag the Sneak Attack Item on the actor which needs to have Rogue class levels.

[plain bane]

mine when I roll the attake and hit and roll the damage the snake warning window does not appear and these two warnings appear on the console

[violet meadow]

Follow the same steps as the message exactly above yours indicates

[scarlet gale]

In other news, I just made my own way to use the item DC in the value field of an effect.

[plain bane]

that's exactly what i did and it still doesn't work

[scarlet gale]

When Tposney is back, I really should just ask to have DAE do it...

[violet meadow]

I just point the macro to item.abilityMod and get it from there

[vast bane]

can we utilize it in our own items if we have CPR installed?

[vast bane]

hes trying to do it in the overtime effect value

[reef bluff]

Attribute key stays the same I presume? flags.dnd5e.DamageBonusMacro

[scarlet gale]

I couldn't find a @ key to get the dc of the item

[plain bane]

I can pass the table access for you to see

[scarlet gale]

There is @item and @itemLevel

[violet meadow]

DM me a link and temporary GM access if you want

[plain bane]

yes

[vast bane]

I updated the pin to include the flags.dnd5e.DamageBonusMacro fix

[scarlet gale]

But trying to do @item.whatever didn't get me anything

[scarlet gale]

Yes

[violet meadow]

@item.ability would get it but not inside a @abilities[@item.ability].mod I think

when trying to evaluate the saveDC = 8 + @abilities[@item.ability].mod + @prof

[vast bane]

I think he wants dc

[scarlet gale]

yep

[quasi needle]

is there a way i can automate the dodge action, any attacked against the actor have disadvantage until the start of the next turn?

[scarlet gale]

let me try that

[reef bluff]

OK, The sneak attack prompts now! but the auto doesnt go through when I applied it

[vast bane]

Chris is it saveDC=@item.dc,?

[scarlet gale]

let me see if I can get bugbear's method to work first

I couldn't use @ fields

[vast bane]

with dfreds CE installed, and setup, any player can use the dodge status from dfreds

[scarlet gale]

It kept getting wiped by DAE I think

[quasi needle]

ok, i'll try that

[vast bane]

you can also give all your players a generic self/self item named "Dodge" and midi will apply dfreds CE dodge

Someone has patient defense automated, you can literally copy that

welll, minus the ki consumption

and set bonus to regular action

oh...dfreds does lol

also, incase you have the module, TheRippers Argon Combat Hud gives all the generic actions to every actor, and if you turn off HIS automation for it, midi+dfreds will pick up his item roll and automate it in midi

But Argon Combat Hud is an acquired taste not everyone likes a bulky UI

[vast bane]

do you know what causes this? I'm unable to replicate the need for this in midi 35/dae23 with the starter hero, mine just is fine and works.

[scarlet gale]

At any rate, next update to my module will include my hack for it. $chris.itemDC will get replaced with the DC of the origin item.

[violet meadow]

Its not creating the damageBonusMacro correctly for some reason.

If your Special Traits of the Actor has a ItemMacro.Rakish Audacity or ItemMacro.Sneak Attack in the Bonus Damage Macros you are good to go

[vast bane]

oh so if you don't have more than one, you are fine

[reef bluff]

Got it working now

Thanks guys 🙂

[verbal compass]

Hi all. so i had to remove ready set roll to allow Midi to work. and i know my players, as well as i my self would miss this module. does any one have any module suggestion that would work with Midi, but give a layout like ready set roll.
mostly to let the roll happen, and have a option in the chat to add advantage or disadvantage.

[dark canopy]

midi is your only option if you are using midi

[vast bane]

a tale as old as time that I was tempted to point out to you when you said you had it, 99% of ready set rollers drop midi

[verbal compass]

ok. is there an option in midi to let my players add advantage to the attack roll. hopefully after the attack and with out the pop up.

[vast bane]

its like a design choice, you either throw the dice and decide after the fact(readysetroll) or you automate and presetup everything to work right and don't toss dice that won't matter(midiqol)

the two do not work together ever

[verbal compass]

oh i am def keeping midi, because it will allow effects we want. but still, just trying to have my cake and eat it to.

[vast bane]

there is no way, you likely want ready set roll and not midi 😦 a tale as old as time here.

fwiw ready set roll has a effect transfer setting now too, but theres alot more to midi than effect transfer that you lose

the yummy flags and build a bonus I think doesn't work with RSR at all

not to imply that build a bonus is in anyway related to midi, its just that midi works with it for the custom rollers(so does roll groups)

[verbal compass]

well i guess we will try midi this week and see what the players say they rather have. but thank you so much for you help.

[vast bane]

I think why it always happens is cause midi is rough out of the gate till the DM has set everything up, and ready set roll is very laid back and doesn't need automation setup so it works out of the gate

We shall see, but if you do wind up switching, your always welcome back if you find a group that is fans of midi hehe

[hasty jackal]

can you toggle advantage on saving throws as an effect for an item?i know some classes or races had that property (like gnomes)

[violet meadow]

<#1010273821401555087 message>

If Gnome Cunning is what you're after

[hasty jackal]

kk

gonna check if that is inside a Midi Compendium

[violet meadow]

nope its not as of right now

[marsh axle]

ok, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but hopefully someone can help me. I'm trying to get Midiqol to prompt to use sneak attack. I've searched and it's still not working I am in combat, I started a new round, I attack with advantage. I have the MidiQol Sneak Attack on as a feature, I renamed the feature tojust Sneak Attack, since it said to do so, I attack with advantage and then on rolling damage nothing abotu sneak attack shows up.

[violet meadow]

#1010273821401555087 message

[hasty jackal]

hmm so how can i set up that...

[marsh axle]

ah ok step 5 is what I missed

jesus

[violet meadow]

Gnome Cunning Feature.

Create a DAE on it.
Check Transfer to Actor on item equip in the DAE's details tab.
Add the keys as shown in the screenshot.

[hasty jackal]

okay

[vast bane]

Helpers for Midi while tposney is on vacation:

https://media.giphy.com/media/l4FATJpd4LWgeruTK/giphy.gif

[hasty jackal]

btw i copy and paste the ring of protection effect on my custom sword item and it doesnt add the AC for some reason

[vast bane]

show me your custom swords details tab, mostly just the top third

You either have a sword that requires attunement, or you copied the ae but never set it to transfer on equip

(or the swords not equipped if a standard weapon too)

[vast bane]

show the first tab of the right hand effect

[hasty jackal]

there

[vast bane]

you either have nothing checked, or you have one of the two selfs checked

ok then in the swords item details tab, its either not equipped, or it requires attunement and isn't attuned

[vast bane]

also the custom field there.....

@violet meadow isn't that key a system key, not a dae key? I'm guessing they yoinked this out of midi srd

[hasty jackal]

its equipped and with attunement

yep i just copied the protection ring lol...

kinda lazy

[vast bane]

mouse over their ac number on the sheet and show me the tooltip

[hasty jackal]

this?

[vast bane]

right click the actor in the sidebar and export the file and send them to me in a DM

[violet meadow]

ac.bonus needs ADD

[vast bane]

does the save really need custom?

[violet meadow]

nope

[vast bane]

can never tell with the secret dae system keys lol

[violet meadow]

system.abilities.cha.bonuses.save ADD +1 for example
or
system.abilities.cha.bonuses.save Custom 1

[hasty jackal]

maybe its because is a weapon instead of armor?

[violet meadow]

what is it exactly? 🤔

ah ok scrolled up

[hasty jackal]

a weapon with the same passive as a ring of protection

+1 to spell saves and +1 ac

[violet meadow]

Is the DAE set to Transfer to actor on item equip?

[hasty jackal]

yep

[violet meadow]

Attuned and equipped?

[vast bane]

@hasty jackal edit the item, go to the effect tab and click the lil hand:

they edited an owned item and I'm vindicated for saying the glitch still happens /smugsmile

[hasty jackal]

welp that worked

[vast bane]

its very rare

[hasty jackal]

its a glitch?

[vast bane]

yep

its in the pin fwiw

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.

[violet meadow]

The title bar saying editing effect on owned items is experimental is a good indication of something that might go wrong too 😄

[vast bane]

in your case you had the opposite, it glitched nad never transferred

hes nailed down most of the issues, but generally speaking for everyone here, when editing owned items, always always always double check the ACTOR effec tab

when they sent me the actor I saw this:

a lack of hex defender effect even though its transfer on equip

that meant weirdness with editing owned items

I typically only see it when people fiddle with the checkboxes too much with latency

the four checkboxes in the first tab of an ae

The folks in dnd5e would coach you never to edit an owned item, but in here...most of us are experienced to catch these glitches, but you new folks may want to consider editing in the sidebar instead, then dragging over.

[vast bane]

also fyi, your fighting style is inactive 😉

probably because its dnd5e srd's

[violet meadow]

Better safe than sorry. Drag to sidebar, edit, drag back

[vast bane]

and its checked as suspended

@hasty jackal
#1010273821401555087 message

the dnd5e srd's have suspended effects that really do a number on midi, its partially why midi srd exists I believe

I think midi treats suspended as immune or something, cause I've seen charm immunity and the actor gets it added but suspended

[hasty jackal]

its a reaction dunno why is there

[vast bane]

its suspended in the first tab of the ae

inactive typically means suspended, unavailable usually means its on an item that requires attunement or has the equip flag and is unequipped

[hasty jackal]

suspenden ill check the effect

[vast bane]

Before midi 35, Ranged Disadvantage was handled by midi alone and just kinda showed up situationally one a token that mattered, in midi 35, its applying dfreds CE, and when its applied to a linked actor, suddenly ALL scenes with that actor check for enemies within 5ft. This can cause ranged disadvantage if your players leave their tokens next to combat dummies on landing pages fyi.

I don't know how to shut this off or go back to midi's way in midi 33

you can only shut off midi's. Dfreds CE is force fed to us, you can't stop it from applying

ok I think I got it, it has no expiration

so they gain it while fiddling on the landing page and then the DM has to shut it off once they leave

man this thing is hard to replicate, but I swear its happening lol

I'm convinced that the situation I had was a player fat fingering their reaction toggle:

[hoary wagon]

What does this Damage Card setting do? Nothing seems to change on the damage as I change this

[hasty jackal]

for some reason my MidiQol is taking forever to check if a target passes or fails a saving throw

any ideas why?

nvm checked

the timer was 30 seconds

[spice kraken]

So I'm messing with Warpgate for the first time and tryiong to setup Conjure Animals from here - https://github.com/trioderegion/warpgate/wiki/Conjure-Minor-Elementals . I can change pictures and all but where do I define it to actually spawn the actor from? Do I need to make a specific compendium/folder?

[scarlet gale]

Pretty sure the actor has to not be in a compendium

[spice kraken]

When I change Azer to Dire Wolf (with the right picture path too) I get the same error

Oh, maybe cause of how I have the wolf named. Let me make it match 1:1

That was it!

Just had to speak it out to figure it out

Aw, doesn't de-spawn the wolf on loss of concentration

[scarlet gale]

There's likely a way to track what ones are summoned, then it's just a matter of triggering another macro when the effect is deleted

such as with DAE or effect macros

[spice kraken]

Any clue how to do that on v9?

If not I'm not too worried and can do it manually

[scarlet gale]

DAE on/off function

Effect macros also has a deleted trigger

Even on v9

As for tracking the summons, no idea. I haven't had to mess with warpgate summons yet

[spice kraken]

No clue how to do any of that so I'll just do it manually. Not much of an issue. Got spawning working, but the animation won't play

Got the path from the sequencer filemenu

[hoary wagon]

Is there a way to make Other Damage automatically count resistance?

[spice kraken]

put damage type in like 1d6[piercing]

[frosty veldt]

Quick question, is there an Active Effect flag that can reduce the damage output? Like system.bonuses.mwak.damage and add bonus, but can this flag say "reduce the damage by 50%"?

[scarlet gale]

I would look around the sequencer Discord for examples

[hoary wagon]

I tried that, that shows the damage type, but for some reason it is bypassing resistance. Those red buttons don't show for other damage

I need to use the standard apply damage with right click to apply Other Damage

[spice kraken]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Works for me

[spice kraken]

Got that figured out. Had to comment these out

[vast bane]

you have to jump through alot of hooops to warp in an actor from a compendium I think

basically you don't actually warp in the actor, you take a generic clean slate and warp in the actors items

and stats

[spice kraken]

Already got it working

No compendiums

[vast bane]

gotcha

[spice kraken]

It was off cause of the name of the creature

[vast bane]

the ol' scrolled up hit meh

[spice kraken]

cause I'm dumb

Now I'm just trying badger's WS to remove the summons on conc loss

[scarlet gale]

honestly, the only real hoop would be importing the actor from the compendium before doing the summon

[spice kraken]

I already had a folder for them cause we were doing it manually before

[vast bane]

Thats a timeout not timer, the user is not rolling themselves

[vast bane]

That card is this:

its the players version of the DM card that only players see, you'd have to login with one to see it yourself

[hoary wagon]

Hm, ok, thanks!

[violet meadow]

Nope. You will need a macro for that.

[short aurora]

tposney has an example how to do that midi style with their spiritual weapon, granted this is v10 so some changes would have to be made for v9 (all them systems to either data or data.data depending on where)

const version = "10.0.13";
try {
  const origin = args[0].itemUuid;
  if (origin) {
      const removeList = actor.effects.filter(ae => ae.origin === origin && getProperty(ae, "flags.dae.transfer") !== 3).map(ae=>ae.id);
      await actor.deleteEmbeddedDocuments("ActiveEffect", removeList)
  }
  const updates = {
      Item: {
      "Spiritual Weapon Attack": {
        "type": "weapon",
        "img": args[0].itemData.img, 
        "system.actionType" : "msak",
        "system.properties.mgc": true,
        "system.attackBonus": `${Number(args[0].actor.system.abilities[args[0].actor.system.attributes.spellcasting]?.mod) + Number(args[0].actor.system.attributes.prof) + Number(args[0].actor.system.bonuses.msak.attack)}`,
        "system.proficient": false,
        "system.damage.parts":[[`${1 + Math.floor((args[0].spellLevel-2)/2)}d8 + ${args[0].actor.system.abilities[args[0].actor.system.attributes.spellcasting]?.mod || ""}`,"force"]]
      }
    }
  }
  const result = await warpgate.spawn("Spiritual Weapon",  {embedded: updates}, {}, {});
  if (result.length !== 1) return;
  const createdToken = game.canvas.tokens.get(result[0]);
  await createdToken.actor.items.getName("Spiritual Weapon Attack").update({"data.proficient": false});
  const targetUuid = createdToken.document.uuid;

  await actor.createEmbeddedDocuments("ActiveEffect", [{
      label: "Summon", 
      icon: args[0].item.img, 
      origin,
      duration: {seconds: 60, rounds:10},
      "flags.dae.stackable": false,
      changes: [{key: "flags.dae.deleteUuid", mode: CONST.ACTIVE_EFFECT_MODES.ADD, value: [targetUuid]}]
  }]);
} catch (err) {
    console.error(`${args[0].itemData.name} - Spiritual Weapon ${version}`, err);
}```

an itemmacro on the item after active effects

[ebon bane]

i have given a player a cloak, that lets them use a reaction to give themselves evasion... i cant seem to get it to trigger on save spells, it seems to want to trigger on attack rolls

any advice?

[spice kraken]

Yeah, too much work to deconstruct. Manual isn't hard anyways

[scarlet gale]

I think using reaction damaged should do it?

[vast bane]

Heres my ridiculous recycled tashas macro in fey form that kills the warpgate summons on conc breakage:

this is mostly vintage Bugbear work btw

my favorite part of this macro is the preitem roll right there at the top that stops the spell if they don't have the component

[short aurora]

I also did a summon from compendium function, but honestly it ended up being just in the sidebar because I never figured out a good time when to delete the creatures from the sidebar, so I just collapsed the folder and forgot >_>

[vast bane]

I'm trying to move away from constant compendium pulling cause badger said on lower end host machines massive compendium parsing can degrade performance and I tend to agree as I feel macro.createitems are faster when they are in the sidebar

one thing I gotta add to these tashas spells is the adding to combat and giving the same init as the caster but 1 more decimal point out so that its always second

[hot flower]

This could be adapted for any of the Tasha spells no?

[vast bane]

Sorta, sometimes they have oddball stuff you gotta add into the warpgate section, and a different item, also the dialog is totally unnecessary for summon tashas spells, but I didn't know how to cleanly remove it

I basically use this macro for all my warpgates

the macro pass is ALL btw for this macro

[hot flower]

Cool. Will examine more closely once I’m fully up

[vast bane]

that one is very specifically summon fey

[hot flower]

Crymic has a bunch of summon spells on his patreon

[scarlet gale]

Summons are on my low-priority to-do list cause the Crimic ones exist

But I'll likely have to get into it when I update my echo night automations

[pseudo turret]

What is the best way to implement the general rule '... after the roll, but before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fail' while still having automations? I've been playing around with midi settings, but I can't find a setup I'm really happy with. Limiting myself to attack rolls here, ideally I'd like the workflow to just pause after the initial d20 roll to check if the player wants to do something before carrying on to damage. (The specific reason I'm trying to do this is to test the Luck rules in the latest alpha of Project Black Flag from Kobold Press, but the question applies to various official 5e features).

[vast bane]

OptionalNAMEmacro

search the readme for exactly that

they are a dae key that will never auto complete

[violet meadow]

What exactly is that Luck rule?

Lucky is already included in MidiQOL sample Items

[vast bane]

I think its indeed an OptionalLuckyMacro hehe

[scarlet gale]

DAE readme or midi?

[vast bane]

midiqol one

ok thanks checking now

[vast bane]

oh shit now you got me thinkin

isn't it midi?

I cannot find it there, checking DAE now

I always confuse it with the OnUseMacro key

Examples of this are Bardic inspiration, Indomitable, and I think lucky

I redid my dm inspiration to use this

Is moto just talking about optional bonuses?

[violet meadow]

(yes)

[vast bane]

I don't think the warning on the save bonus requires fast forward anymore, I've used it without it

[scarlet gale]

Had me thinking there was another way to call macros lol

[violet meadow]

You can call macros optionally

[vast bane]

I think weirdly if you haven't noticed yet

OK, I've checked the readme and the lucky feat (I banned that so long ago in my games I didn't even think to check if it had been automated). The rule I'm trying to implement in short is: 1 lucky point = +1 to the roll before adjudication (you can spend multiple points on a single roll OR 3 lucky points for a reroll.
So I guess one way to do it is a Luck item similar to the Lucky example for all characters or possibly a world script?

Specifically the example Lucky item that uses resources on the sheet

[scarlet gale]

Actor on use can likely do that

Also, why isn't the macro part for the optional bonus in the readme

Had to find it in the changelog ._.

He needs a secretary honestly hehe

I wonder if he'd take github suggestions for rewrites of the sections some

The really good nuggets in dae/midi are in those changelogs

[pseudo turret]

ok, in that case would it be the after attack roll pass? to allow for the total to be changed?

[vast bane]

didn't 34/35 just add new keys hooks precisely for that

[scarlet gale]

Can probably butcher my monks focused aim feature
