MidiQOL

[vast bane]

the items have no durations on item details, its in the dae duration tab

[violet meadow]

Did you delete the effect from the character sheet's effects tab or did you delete it from the shillelagh item by chance?

I mean initially

[north ocean]

The first time i removed it from the players effects tab

[vast bane]

DAE 23

[violet meadow]

Wait in this one I cannot see an icon on the token for Mace of disruption.

I thought that was the issue.

[short aurora]

It's in core dnd5e.

[vast bane]

I deleted it cause it was not needed for the test since I can reproduce on any item

[short aurora]

No modules, it will show that active effect on the token if it has a duration, even if it's unavailable.

This might be related to the fact monsters don't really have equip/attune stuff, I did see that was added for next release

[scarlet gale]

Could anyone with tidy sheet tell me what version of tidy sheet your game updates to?

[tepid dock]

0.8.40

[scarlet gale]

Trying to figure out why my copies won't update past 0.8.20 unless I do a manual install

[tepid dock]

I will say, once I deleted the 90000 duration, the effect wasn't showing on the token. Still showed on the actor effects tab though.

[vast bane]

thats going to happen no matter what

I guess remove the duration

it also shows with force show

you can use TVA to exclude the ae

the ae's settings don't really matter cause the second it goes from unavailable to active its deleted

just is weird it shows like that

[short aurora]

Inactive effects doesn't, so I assume it's a bug or oversight and I'll post an issue

[vast bane]

TVA has a setting where you can set specific ae's to never show on token, it fixes it:

[short aurora]

Scratch that, seems to already be reported, they'll get to it

[vast bane]

but really you can just shut off duration/force show on it, its not going to actually be on the actor for more than a few milliseconds as the automation deletes the starter item as soon as its attuned/equipped

fyi DAE starts ticking down the duration of unavailable ae's

*in combat

wait no thats effect start not duration lol

[short aurora]

Moto's item doesn't need a duration, just remove that. I don't like how the item's not dynamic though thinking cap

[north ocean]

The hold person spell from the Sample items doesnt apply the Paralyzed on a failed save. Is this correct?

[scarlet gale]

Do you have DAE?

[north ocean]

Yeah

[vast bane]

you sure about that?

[north ocean]

it works if i apply it from the chat card

[scarlet gale]

That dialogue looks very wrong

[vast bane]

I suspect you have mixed up DAE srd with Dynamic Effects using Active Effects

DAE SRD is garbage, delete it, Dynamic Effects using Active Effects is the right module to have and that item won't work till you have the real DAE

[north ocean]

I got it from here

[vast bane]

yeah but you don't have dae

This is what dae looks like:

[north ocean]

this one?

[scarlet gale]

Make sure it's enabled

[vast bane]

0_o

I guess dae has a master switch like midi does?

Yep

you have a default setting set to off hehe

[scarlet gale]

At this point I would check for errors in console after using hold person

[short aurora]

... slight note of that should fail

[vast bane]

you have effect transfer to manual or you have another module installed

[short aurora]

Is the spell set up to ignore non-humanoids already? I can't recall

might be the issue

[vast bane]

the apply active effect button looks sus

I bet they have effective Transferral installed

[short aurora]

Looks like mine with a swaggy CSS overhaul for the ui on

but Hold Person does not work on anything non-humanoid and skeletons are not, is there an activation condition on the item or something?

[north ocean]

Just tried it on another player

[short aurora]

A player is most likely also not set to humanoid, lol

Try to remove that from your item and see if it starts working, I think that check evaluates to false on both players and skeletons alike

[vast bane]

does it even evaluate when effect transfer is set to off?

why would it automate when he has it on manual?

[short aurora]

... wut? You can keep the button even if it does auto also

[vast bane]

but does he have that setting on, occams razor

workflow button, workflow tab, special section, first drop down

[vast bane]

he has effective transferral or ready set roll installed

[short aurora]

Fair call, you should not be able to see that button

[north ocean]

None of them, I removed all the ones Midi said not to use in the wiki

[violet meadow]

Could be Argon too

[vast bane]

Rippers moved into the automation department lol?

share your module list with me in a DM

bugbear did you add the list to the wiki 0_o?

[violet meadow]

I didn't have time to do anything yet. I was completely off for the past few days. Tomorrow I'll have access to my PC again

[vast bane]

maybe hes using the readme as a wiki

[hot flower]

know this isn't a VAE chat, but what's the benefit of VAE over Dfred's similar module?

[vast bane]

@north ocean this is the official incompatibility list:
#1010273821401555087 message

[vast bane]

do you use CPR?

[hot flower]

yup

[vast bane]

if yes, that is the benefit

[scarlet gale]

You would want both

VAE doesn't replace CE

[violet meadow]

I think they meant the DFreds effect panel

[scarlet gale]

oh gotcha

[vast bane]

I assume Callbritton meant dfreds effect panel

[scarlet gale]

(I didn't know that was a thing)

[vast bane]

its pretty much the exact same module minus the ability to put buttons in it

[scarlet gale]

I recently added a feature to my module to autofill the VAE details from all effects

[north ocean]

ok...i just used the midi quick setting to turn on the no automation and then back on again and its working 😕

[violet meadow]

Not sure if Effects Panel enriches text for descriptions

[vast bane]

k, according to what you showed us you should of had one of the two other modules installed for the images to make sense hope you cross checked the list with your mod list

you can enrich the actual spell description of the item for dfreds

[violet meadow]

Now yes

I think it was recently added

[short aurora]

Enabling Argon does add that button for me as well, overruling the setting... 🤔 no is wrong'

[north ocean]

the apply effects button?

[violet meadow]

I thought so 😄

[vast bane]

wow Rippers moving into the effect transfer game?

do we need to add it to the list?

can you screen grab the setting in argon to shut it off for me?

[short aurora]

It's just the core dnd5e button, I think Ripper might be letting it escape somehow not argon's

Worth noting is that Argon does actually have an active effect apply setting, but changing that did nothing to the button

[vast bane]

is it a setting you can shut off in argon?

[north ocean]

Does it remove it on a fail?

[short aurora]

Not the button in response to Moto

[vast bane]

its problematic but probably not the cause of their hold person fail, they were casting on skeleton and hold person only works on player character sheets and humanoids

[north ocean]

argon on for both

the button went on a failed save

[violet meadow]

Oh FFS my server back home is off due to power cut and I cannot access remotely my latest MidiSRD dev version... I knew it that not updating my git dev branch would come back to haunt me... Now I am waiting for power to be back on...

[vast bane]

I had a weird one last night, everytime any of my npcs would use their reaction, the reaction CE would delete any temp ae's that were on the actor

only way I could fix it was to remake the CE from scratch

my reaction CE does have a delete an effect effect macro but it shouldn't be deleting anything, just a specific thing

[short aurora]

Vallant's right, I can repro this with just Midi as well

Ripper did nothing wrong™

[violet meadow]

So if you apply via the button, you cannot delete it?

[short aurora]

If you have this setting, it will apply effects on failure and remove the button, if they succeed, the button is there and will remain forever.

[violet meadow]

Ah ok there is an issue for that, correct?

[short aurora]

I don't think so actually

[hot flower]

I did indeed

[vast bane]

I just ran a whole session and never saw that

[violet meadow]

probably misremembering the issue 🤔

[vast bane]

maybe its caused by your save settings?

Im using MTB what are you two using?

Vallant looks like auto

[short aurora]

I put mine to nothing, so could be that, yeah

[north ocean]

I put mine to auto everything

[short aurora]

Can you do a pull request on gitlab? I want to redo tposney's readme so bad every time I look at it - edit: will just google

[violet meadow]

yes you can

[short aurora]

by email what is this 2012

[violet meadow]

TBH I never used this option. I always have it to Auto apply and not show buttong

[violet meadow]

You can create a Merge Request

https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/merge_requests

[short aurora]

Those say by email to me, but I think I'm just doing that workflow wrong and if I fork the project, do changes, I can do it without an email?

[violet meadow]

I started writing some things up, but didn't have the time. I might give it another try soon

[short aurora]

Just jest, I'm doing the exact same thing after all (merge request)

[violet meadow]

Yeah I know 😄
Just meant I had the same idea

[dark canopy]

i threw together this pair of scripts because seeing the hoops being jumped through was stressful 😅

[violet meadow]

Removing the jankyness. What a party pooper 😛

Moto doing warpgate will be a killer combo!

[vast bane]

The billiance of mine is that its a prefab, you copy it, drag X item to its effect value and its good to go

[short aurora]

cough the effect macro has item names hard coded cough

[dark canopy]

mine is the same, you can just export/move the masked item

[vast bane]

oh shit thats right

the new macro.createitem was suppose to fix it but its backwards 😦

[violet meadow]

No need for the hardcoding of names though 😄

[vast bane]

it runs the macro on the created item instead of the dummy item

[dark canopy]

dont even need the source item once masked -- completely self contained

[vast bane]

feel free to figure out how to make it call the item without name lol

half the magic items have item macros for their own automation on them so the macro.createItemMacro thing is kinda a deal breaker since you'd have to append a macropass to the magic items

which it ran the unidentified items item macro

[vagrant wharf]

is there a globe of invulnerability from MIDI or CPR that I'm missing? trying to figure out how to get that automated

[scarlet gale]

I haven't made one (yet)

[vagrant wharf]

oh ok

also for the call lightning one from MIDI srd spells I think, it asks the caster for saving throw when cast

[vast bane]

change the item to other and remove the damage formula and saving throw, I assume its a self buff spell temp item

[vagrant wharf]

idk I didn't change a thing just dragged it from midi SRD

[scarlet gale]

As an alternative, my module has that spell too.

[vagrant wharf]

oh you're not the author of both? I lose track of all these things

[scarlet gale]

Nope

[vagrant wharf]

alright i'll try yours and yes moto its a self buff

[scarlet gale]

@violet meadow is Midi-SRD

[vagrant wharf]

but I dont know if changing that will fuck up the spell so I'll try the CPS one

[violet meadow]

remove the Save DC set in the spell

actually the saving throw entry

[short aurora]

YOU DIDN'T POST THE MACRO??? Can haff how pls?

[dark canopy]

(gotta document it first 😘 )

[vagrant wharf]

for chain lightning is there a way to edit the jumps in AA? I'm trying to create crimson lightning but the secondary bolts are the default blue

[north ocean]

Does anyone have a forumla for green flame blade for a shortsword and add fire damage into the roll?

[vast bane]

mrprimate has that Im sure

[scarlet gale]

You can copy the macro from out of the module and change all references from chris to chrisPremades.helpers and queue to chrisPremades.queue. Then edit the macro as desired, such as changing up the jb2a animaions.

[vagrant wharf]

ok

thanks

[scarlet gale]

copy line 4 -> 81

[tepid dock]

Please do!

Thanks

[vagrant wharf]

wait how do I copy the macro from out of the module

[scarlet gale]

https://github.com/chrisk123999/chris-premades/blob/master/scripts/macros/spells/chainLightning.js

That reminds me, I need to update this to just add the targets after targeting instead of using a synthetic item.

[vagrant wharf]

er, and that goes where

[scarlet gale]

as an item macro

[vagrant wharf]

actually I'll just make do with the lightning as is instead of trying to tamper with its guts

this grants advantage to saves vs spells?

[north ocean]

Has a GFB formula?

[dark canopy]

@tepid dock @violet meadow https://ko-fi.com/post/Badger-Scripts-Masked-Items-U6U7KAGRY

[digital lagoon]

Hey I am trying to make the Sentinel Raven feature from the Warlock: The Raven Queen UA class. I'm using ATL for the darkvision part, but idk how to add the bonus to perception nor how to toggle it on and off on feature use.

[wide crystal]

How are you adding Darkvision exactly? I'm currently trying to do that and it's not working for me.

Also, what's the feature description?

[spice kraken]

Delete that

Share only relevant info

@digital lagoon

system.skills.prc.bonuses.check | Add | +1000000

make sure to always use + in the effect values. Without it, if you have 2 bonuses that both add 1, it'll be +11 instead of +2. You will see ++2 but that's normal. You want that

[wide crystal]

Also system.skills.prc.bonuses.passive for the passive Perception.

[digital lagoon]

this is what i am using for the dark vison btw

[wide crystal]

And it works for you?

[digital lagoon]

as a item yes, not as a feature

or atleast i'm not sure how to add it to a feature as a toggle

[spice kraken]

Easy way, create the AE, and drag it to your macro bar

Now you have a toggleable AE

[digital lagoon]

That works like a charm, thanks

[buoyant minnow]

After an attack the token is deselecting the target. Where is this setting in the mid?

[buoyant minnow]

after damage''

[whole bolt]

Heya, im trying to make the 5e Dyrrn's Tentacle Whip - Is there any way I can automatically apply disadvantage on attacks made against abberations?
"You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic whip, but attack rolls made against aberrations with this weapon have disadvantage."

[molten solar]

VAE does not touch what shows on the token

All issues with effects are ALWAYS dae

It is the only module that modifies effect behaviour.

[vagrant wharf]

thanks for the bestow cures chris

[molten solar]

Next release? It was added in 2.1.0.

[short aurora]

Yeah, I misremembered, the bug turned out to most likely also be this https://github.com/foundryvtt/dnd5e/issues/1859

[molten solar]

I think that's a core issue tbh

But yeah, effects always applying to unlinked actors was fixed in 2.1.0

[short aurora]

It is a core issue, yeah. Something about unavailable/suspended not technically being disabled/inactive.

[molten solar]

Well no, it doesn't apply

It just shows on unlinked tokens regardless

[short aurora]

This particular issue? On linked as well with my testing, just doesn't seem to care about its' "unavailable" status as long as there's a duration.

[molten solar]

Do its effects apply?

[short aurora]

Nah, just a visual

[molten solar]

Right

[gilded yacht]

workflow.setDamageRoll should not affect dice so nice at all. If the dsn dice have been display setDamageRoll won't redisplay them. Or is something odd happening?

[scarlet gale]

I'm setting the damage roll with workflow.setDamageRoll and the displayed dice is the original roll instead of the newly set roll. Is there any way to work around that?

While I could try to clobber in edits to the roll, it seems cleaner to me to just grab the old formula (make any changes) then re-roll it.

However this results in the displayed dice being totally wrong.

[short aurora]

Hey bugbear, trying to help out with a macro for disadvantage against aberrations, where did you find this conditionData again? I can't seem to find it in neither the arguments nor the workflow when trying to make a macro for checking if = aberration.

[short aurora]

Have your whip run this macro onUse before attack roll;

if (this.targets.size == 0){
    return
    };
    
const targetsArray = Array.from(this.targets);
if (targetsArray[0].actor.system.details.type?.value.includes("aberration")){
    this.disadvantage = true;
};```

[whole bolt]

You're a wizard Krig. Thank you

[scarlet gale]

If you want a cheap way to get the only target, such as with most attack rolls, you can do:

let targetToken = this.targets.first();```

That will get the first item in the set

[whole bolt]

Any idea how to override the current number of hit die on a 5e character?
Here I have an AE setting attributes.hd to 0 and it shows as 0 just below the portrait and prevents spending any hit die during short rest. But when you click the 0 under portrait it opens the shown dialog allowing the use of the actual 3 hd remaining.

[scarlet gale]

Hit dice available is stored in each class, so you may need to overwrite those too

I would look into rest recovery if you're trying to do some homebrew changes to hit dice usage. There might be a setting in there that takes care of what you're trying to do.

[whole bolt]

It's more the effect of a magic item. Reduces your HD to 0 in order to grant you the bonuses.

[molten solar]

While it's not the same, you could use babonus to grant a "-99" bonus to hit die rolls. They'll still have the dice but they'll all heal 0.

[whole bolt]

Thats a potentially easy work around. Cheers

[vast bane]

apparently its a dnd5e bug and already reported

[molten solar]

Idk I'm convinced it's a core bug

[violet meadow]

In the workflow data

[umbral basin]

Could someone help me with this?
https://i.gyazo.com/5279a258c1b3722c8d7dc96121ef3967.png
When I am trying to use Chris's Premades version of Vampiric Touch as a player this comes up. As a GM it works perfectly. Does anyone know what setting it is that creates this error?

[violet meadow]

You need to alter the user permissions to let them use File Browser

[umbral basin]

How do I do that?

[violet meadow]

Foundry right sidebar, User Management in Game Settings tab

[umbral basin]

ah, thank you!

[violet meadow]

Then Configure Permissions

[umbral basin]

You are truly a bugbearic angel 😄

[violet meadow]

Such a friendly bunch we bugbears are

[umbral basin]

You sure are, you got them long limbs for good hugs

[umbral basin]

@violet meadow
Could I ask you for some more assistance? Remember the other day when I asked here about a macro for a save ability? The one that deals damage to multiple targets and then heals the user.

I still cant get the thing to work😭 Iv been trying to Frankenstein some code but I dont know any script at all.

[vast bane]

https://github.com/foundryvtt/dnd5e/issues/1859

[violet meadow]

share the code you have and how you set the macro up

[umbral basin]

async function wait(ms) {return new Promise(resolve => {setTimeout(resolve, ms);});}
if (args[0].failedSaves.length === 0 && (args[0].failedSaves[0].value.actor.system.attributes.hp.value >= args[0].failedSaves[0].value.actor.system.attributes.hp.max)) return {};

const tokenD = canvas.tokens.get(args[0].tokenId);
const actorD = game.actors.get(args[0].actor._id);
const target = canvas.tokens.get(args[0].failedSaves[0].id);
const itemD = args[0].item;
const gameRound = game.combat ? game.combat.round : 0;
const halfDamageHealing = Math.floor(args[0].damageTotal / 2);

await MidiQOL.applyTokenDamage([{damage: halfDamageHealing, type: "healing"}], halfDamageHealing, new Set([tokenD]), itemD, new Set());
const effectData = {
    label: "Blood Spray",
    icon: "icons/skills/wounds/blood-drip-droplet-red.webp",
    origin: args[0].uuid,
    changes: [{
        "key": "system.attributes.hp.max",
        "value": `-${args[0].damageTotal}`,
        "mode": 2,
        "priority": 20
    }],
    disabled: false,
        }
    }
};
await wait(600);
ChatMessage.create({
    user: game.user.id,
    speaker: ChatMessage.getSpeaker({ actorD: actorD }),
    content: the_message,
    type: CONST.CHAT_MESSAGE_TYPES.EMOTE
});```

[violet meadow]

```js
code here
```

[umbral basin]

There we go

[violet meadow]

OK so this is meant to be used against 1 target

and this feels wrong args[0].failedSaves[0].value.actor.system.attributes.hp.value

the first value in there

args[0].failedSaves[0].actor.system.attributes.hp.value should be

but that conditional doesn't make much sense

[umbral basin]

Well this one was originally made to be used for an attack roll.

[violet meadow]

Probably would need OR instead of AND, meaning || instead of &&

OK so what is the intended result?
Get the damage dealt to targets that didn't save and heal for that amount the caster?

The sum of the damage, or the damage rolled?

[vast bane]

why even bother checking the save?

just heal for the damage applied?

[violet meadow]

I can see a world that it would get the essence of targets that failed to save 😄

[umbral basin]

So ye, its an instantaneous aoe aura around the caster. A save is half damage, but no matter if the targets fail or not the user heals for half the total damage dealt.

[vast bane]

if save doesn't matter to the heal then it doesn't matter to the macro?

just play off the damageApplied

[umbral basin]

"You swing your flail in a wide motion around you. Necrotic energy streaks around you to a distance of 15 feet for the duration.

A creature within the area must make a Wisdom saving throw DC 15. On a failed save, the creature takes 4d8 necrotic damage. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage. This ability has no effect on undead or constructs.

You regain hit points equal to half the sum of the necrotic damage dealt."

This is the ability I was trying to create.

[vast bane]

or will that create an error if require target isn't on

[umbral basin]

The save and damage is on the Spell sheet.

[violet meadow]

half of the sum of damage dealt

that is a bit more involved

[vast bane]

I actually have this already

[umbral basin]

You do? 😮

[vast bane]

its the lifesteal I shared whenever people ask for it

we zero in on damageApplied and just do a damageOnlyWorkflow of temphp or healing

#1010273821401555087 message

remove the first line for your aoe

maybe put in an If statement for if no targets are found

incase the user pops it with nobody around them

[violet meadow]

This still will not get the whole damage dealt. You need to go through the damageList and sum the sums up 😄

[vast bane]

oh shit

yeah multiple targets

wouldn't it though?

it'd just be like 10 heals

it'd be janky, but thats my middle name

problematic if its meant to be temp hp though

[umbral basin]

Luckily its not supposed to be tempHp xD

[umbral basin]

const damage = args[0].damageList[0].appliedDamage
if (damage != 0) {
    let sourceToken = args[0].workflow.token.document;
    await MidiQOL.applyTokenDamage([{
        damage: damage,
        type: 'temphp'
    }], damage, new Set([sourceToken]), null, null);
}``` 
Is this all that was needed?

[vast bane]

Someone might help with summing them up but my linked macro will do tiny individual heals to the source actor

I think you need a target count chck incase the user pops it with nobody around

[umbral basin]

How does one do that?

[vast bane]

bring back the first line but change it

have the statement be If targets are zero, return

unless midi accounts for null as zero

I think appliedDamage also requires midi damage automation to be set to any drop down other than No

[umbral basin]

Ye I have no clue how to do any of this xD

[violet meadow]

if (args[0].targets.length < 1) return;
let dmgSum = 0;
for (const d of args[0].damageList) dmgSum += d.appliedDamage
if (!!dmgSum) {
    const damage = Math.floor(dmgSum/2);
    const sourceToken = args[0].workflow.token.document;
    await MidiQOL.applyTokenDamage([{
        damage,
        type: 'healing'
    }], damage, new Set([sourceToken]), args[0].item, new Set());
}

[vast bane]

beat me to it

I was gonna do ! =0

errr that would have been wrong lol

[umbral basin]

You guys are heroes without capes😱

[vast bane]

I'm just a hero Cosplayer

[molten solar]

Aware, but that just means it hasn't been moved to foundry's github. The system doesn't do anything with tokens' visuals.

[frigid zinc]

Discard that, 3D Canvas is now warpgate compatible https://streamable.com/k00ba0

[vast bane]

Does Argon Combat Hud now perform effect transfer? Or is its setting dependent on Midiqol?

[frigid zinc]

Argon does absolutely no automation whatsoever

it just uses the items as if you click on them on the sheet

[vast bane]

we had some confusion last night around a setting related to disabling an apply active effects button in it

[frigid zinc]

ah, that is for special actions only

[vast bane]

so if midi exists it will show midi's apply active effect button, and if its just core, core's version?

[frigid zinc]

to be clear, it's just for the "Disengage" and "Dodge" actions basically

doesn't touch anything else

[vast bane]

gotcha ok, thats what we eventually got around to discovering but since I don't have the module I was curious if it did something like effective Transferral where it gives the user a button to apply ae's with

[vast bane]

Could probably add Help to Argon, its basically similar to dodge in a way so it'd do nothing without midiqol

Help action gives advantage against a target or advantage to a target depending on how the DM interprets it

[frigid zinc]

space is tight, i cut that out lol

@vast bane i wanted to test something and you probably know, where do i get a warpgate-misty step item?

[umbral basin]

Hmm, an additional question then. Is it possible to have the ability ignore Undeads and Constructs?

[vast bane]

its not warpgate

we all use automated animations

its like the only non animation thing that sequencer/aa does

[frigid zinc]

ahhh, i'll go bother wasp

[violet meadow]

Does this as an Activation condition do it?
!(["construct", "undead"].includes(raceOrType))

[umbral basin]

Do I just put that as the first line then? or where would it go?

[violet meadow]

Details tab of the Item. Activation condition field

But you will need to be using Activation conditions in the MidiQOL settings

https://github.com/thatlonelybugbear/FoundryMacros/wiki/MidiQOL-activation-conditions-examples#setting-up

[umbral basin]

Okay that has now been activated

Hmm

Didnt work

[violet meadow]

Can you screenshot the Item's details page?

How do you set it up?

Just a damage formula?

[umbral basin]

https://i.gyazo.com/e0ced6dbfa1e41b21e20251aeacd4027.png

https://i.gyazo.com/002d561bf6d1a2856f32f9bc6e7aadc9.png

Also, the user took damage this time even though the range was set to special

@violet meadow Is this what you were after

[violet meadow]

Activation conditions will not work for you

do you want to not damage undead and constructs at all with this spell?

[umbral basin]

Ye

Undeads and constructs should take no damage

[vast bane]

that target/range is wrong for the macro

change radius to creature

or enemy depending on whether he can suck on his allies

[umbral basin]

It can hit allies, thats the fun part xD

[vast bane]

then change radius to creature and the second drop down in workflow tab should be set to this:

Levels maps will have issues with these typs of spells targetting through floors without level auto cover module

[umbral basin]

https://i.gyazo.com/f9a2aedb62126ed602602bef97f57c80.png
so like this?

[vast bane]

the filter for undead/constructs has to be in the macro since its not an ae or other formula

[umbral basin]

There is a module to prevent that? 😮

[vast bane]

I think level auto cover is a patreon module, my solution that I use personally is to not waste 20 hours setting up levels maps and just to use MLT/stairways 😉

[umbral basin]

MLT/Stairways? So many modules iv never heard of xD

[umbral basin]

so just add this "!(["construct", "undead"].includes(raceOrType))" as the first line of the macro instead?

[vast bane]

I'm sure bugbears already writing the right syntax

its going to be an if statement and then return

If !(["construct", "undead"].includes(raceOrType)) return; bugbear?

wait no

you need the macro to exclude all targets that are construct/undead

this would kill the macro if any target is one

Thats above my paygrade

then again, I could use my crazy sculpt spells macro as a template...

[umbral basin]

Crazy sculpt spells?

[vast bane]

if (!token.actor.items.getName("Sculpt Spells") || args[0].item.system.school !== "evo") return;
game.user.updateTokenTargets(args[0].targets.filter(tok=>tok.disposition !== canvas.tokens.get(args[0].tokenId).document.disposition).map(i=>i.id))

I'm not sharing this for you Mrtoyama, its for @violet meadow

could the macro utilize this way of filterig the targets?

just a matter of removing the disposition filter and putting in race/type instead

for anyone interested in the macro just above, its my answer to my player whose an evocation wizard and hates having to micromanage how sculpt spells flag works in midi. His evocation spells just literally ignore all allies by default.

then we manually account for any allies who go over his allowed amount but it hasn't happened yet

[violet meadow]

@umbral basin change the onUse macro to be executed on All instead of only After Active Effects
Add this at the top of the macro```js
if(args[0].macroPass === "preambleComplete") {
game.user.updateTokenTargets(Array.from(game.user.targets
.filter(function (tv) {
if (['undead','construct'].some(v=>tv.actor.system.details.race?.toLocaleLowerCase().includes(v)) || ['undead','construct'].some(v=>tv.actor.system.details.type?.value.includes(v))) return tv
})
.map(t=>t.id)));
}
if (args[0].macroPass === "postActiveEffects") {
//put the rest of the macro in here.
}

[umbral basin]

So like this?

if(args[0].macroPass === "preambleComplete") {
    game.user.updateTokenTargets(Array.from(game.user.targets
    .filter(function (tv) {
        if (['undead','construct'].some(v=>tv.actor.system.details.race?.toLocaleLowerCase().includes(v)) || ['undead','construct'].some(v=>tv.actor.system.details.type?.value.includes(v))) return tv
     })
    .map(t=>t.id));
}
if (args[0].macroPass === "postActiveEffects") {
   //put the rest of the macro in here.
if (args[0].targets.length < 1) return;
let dmgSum = 0;
for (const d of args[0].damageList) dmgSum += d.appliedDamage
if (!!dmgSum) {
    const damage = Math.floor(dmgSum/2);
    const sourceToken = args[0].workflow.token.document;
    await MidiQOL.applyTokenDamage([{
        damage,
        type: 'healing'
    }], damage, new Set([sourceToken]), args[0].item, new Set());
}
}```

[violet meadow]

And here in the On Use Macros field, change the After Active Effect to All

[vast bane]

rare you get to use all in an on use lucky you

[umbral basin]

I set that up 😄

[umbral basin]

Why is it rare?

[vast bane]

I just don't see many that do is all, you don't want to use all when its not necessary generally but this time it is

[umbral basin]

https://i.gyazo.com/22ac96d54bd9aa1e7ea477a02cd855c0.png

Something didnt like this

[vast bane]

missing or extra ( or {

he edited it, make sure you didn't grab it before the edit, I always do that hehe

[violet meadow]

if(args[0].macroPass === "preambleComplete") {
    game.user.updateTokenTargets(Array.from(game.user.targets
    .filter(function (tv) {
        if (['undead','construct'].some(v=>tv.actor.system.details.race?.toLocaleLowerCase().includes(v)) || ['undead','construct'].some(v=>tv.actor.system.details.type?.value.includes(v))) return tv
     })
    .map(t=>t.id)))
}

            type: 'healing'
        }], damage, new Set([sourceToken]), args[0].item, new Set());
    }
}

[umbral basin]

Tried this one aswell
got the error again

🤔

https://i.gyazo.com/7a04815bacbb311c96e2f4db2b34a665.png

So missing a ")" somewhere?

[vast bane]

I was told a while ago that the error like that can also mean }

[umbral basin]

oh

[vast bane]

I don't see any errors when I checked it

[violet meadow]

Simplified it a bit, but it shouldn't have an error syntax

Copy paste again

Maybe you left out the last }

[umbral basin]

Hmm

Well lets see!

I got the same error again

Hmm...

I copied everything though

[vast bane]

Do you have any actor on use macros already or CPR installed?

[umbral basin]

CPR = chris premades?

[umbral basin]

if I have other on use macros? Ye

[vast bane]

my only thought is that maybe this actors got a bad actor on use?

[violet meadow]

Can you export the item and send it to me

[umbral basin]

How do I export an item?

[violet meadow]

Move it to the sidebar in the Items Directory and right click export

[umbral basin]

So, the item in question is that the Ability?

[violet meadow]

The one that has the macro onUse

[violet meadow]

Do you have ItemMacro module?

[umbral basin]

yup

[violet meadow]

Use this

[pseudo turret]

Hi, I'm working on an onUse macro with a preCheckHits trigger and I'd like to update the attack roll card at the end of it.

...
    let newContent = `<hr><p><b>Luck Points Used</b></p>You have used ${useFeature} Luck points`;
    const chatMessage = game.messages.get(args[0].itemCardId);
    let content = duplicate(chatMessage.data.content);
    const searchString =  '<div class="midi-qol-attack-roll"></div>';
    const replaceString = `<div class="midi-qol-attack-roll">${newContent}</div>`
    content = content.replace(searchString, replaceString);
    chatMessage.update({ content: content });

I don't get any error but also the card is not updated. What am I doing wrong?

[violet meadow]

remove the data in the chatMessage.data.content

[pseudo turret]

I tried now but it doesn't seem to make a difference/

btw, I do have merged cards enabled.

[violet meadow]

is the content updated at all?

log it before updating the chatMessage

is there the searchString present?

[hollow atlas]

Hi, I have an issue where MidiQOL automatically applies disadvantage for a ranged attack when in melee with a hostile token, despite that token having the incapacitated condition. Other effects it seems to apply properly though :/
Any ideas where I should check if some setting is messed up, or is that just not a feature (yet)?

[umbral basin]

Okay, Iv imported the new version of the ability. I can see that you changed the name of my macro into "ItemMacro". Should I do the same?

Also it seems to only target Undead and constructs now xD

[violet meadow]

Probably a case not thought of. Make an issue in the Midi git repository 😉

[violet meadow]

Use the Item as is on the character sheet. Delete your old one and drag the imported one on the chracter sheet

Does it work?

[violet meadow]

Lol undead and constructs only is an indication that it works at least 😄

I made them included not excluded by mistake 😩

[umbral basin]

LOL

I suppose I just need to change "Include" to "Exclude" in

(['undead','construct'].includes(tv.actor.system.details.race?.toLocaleLowerCase()) || ['undead','construct'].includes(tv.actor.system.details.type?.value)) return tv

Is it that easy?

Okay that made no difference

[vast bane]

#1010273821401555087 message

turn on attribution and sus out what is actually going on

also beware that dfreds CE has a ranged disadvantage CE that if placed on a linked actor will carry over to all scenes causing disadvantage if the combat dummy is next to them in the landing page

[violet meadow]

It's reproducible @vast bane . Needs an issue to disregard incapacitated from NearbyFoes

[vast bane]

I see "I have advantage/disadvantage why" posts and I immediately resort to attribution lol

I'm scarred

[north ocean]

Does any one know if it’s possible to make a formula for green flame blade which then allows you to select the second target for the splash damage?

The splash damage would need to be within 5ft of the original target

[umbral basin]

So how do I exclude them instead? xD

[vast bane]

does Mrprimates macro not do that?

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

[north ocean]

Thank you. I havnt used this importer before, is it fairly easy to use?

[vast bane]

you don't need to

but its useful for some items incase you can't guess how the item should be setup

that ones probably a good case for that, so maybe a ddb importer user can share the details of green flame blade

my guess is that macro is meant to be an on use macro in midiqol, probably stored as an item macro

it might be a dae macro.itemmacro I dunno

[north ocean]

It’s been a while since I used macros, but you need to make a new item for it?

[vast bane]

do you have item macro and midiqol?

[north ocean]

The latter only

[vast bane]

install item macro, in its settings once its enabled, uncheck the box related to character sheet hooks

[north ocean]

Ok

[vast bane]

If you haven't made Green Flame Blade yet, make it, then setup an on use macro for it via midiqol and then paste the macro in the url into the Item Macro at the top of Green Flame Blades window

Or make a blank spell in your sidebar and import this lol:

[north ocean]

Awesome thanks so much

[vast bane]

this'd be a neat way to give item macros to novice users who don't have it

you have to guess how the macro is called, my first guess is midiqol on use, second guess would be dae

If you give the item an action type, then you gain access to the bottom half of item details:

[violet meadow]

Got sidetracked```js
if(args[0].macroPass === "preambleComplete") {
game.user.updateTokenTargets(Array.from(game.user.targets)
.filter(function (tv) {
if (!['construct','undead'].filter(v=>tv.actor.system.details.race?.toLocaleLowerCase().includes(v)).length && !['construct','undead'].filter(v=>tv.actor.system.details.type?.value.includes(v)).length) return tv })
.map(t=>t.id))
}
if (args[0].macroPass === "postActiveEffects") {
//put the rest of the macro in here.
if (args[0].targets.length < 1) return;
let dmgSum = 0;
for (const d of args[0].damageList) dmgSum += d.appliedDamage
if (!!dmgSum) {
const damage = Math.floor(dmgSum/2);
const sourceToken = args[0].workflow.token.document;
await MidiQOL.applyTokenDamage([{
damage,
type: 'healing'
}], damage, new Set([sourceToken]), args[0].item, new Set());
}
}

[north ocean]

Ok and that was just a new spell made from the basic sidebar?

[vast bane]

its so that you didn't have to install item macro though most advanced midi users have it installed

if you don't shut off character sheet hooks in its settings it will wreak havoc on midi

[north ocean]

If it will benifit me in the long run, I’ll probably get it anway but I’m very much a novice

[pseudo turret]

The string was not matched, but I checked some of Crymic's recent public macros and saw a better way to search for the div. I was using the example in midi's readme. Now I have:

...
    let newContent = `<hr><p><b>Luck Points Used</b></p>You have used ${useFeature} Luck points`;
    const chatMessage = game.messages.get(args[0].itemCardId);
    let content = duplicate(chatMessage.data.content);
    const searchString =/<div class="midi-qol-attack-roll"">[\s\S]*<div class="end-midi-qol-attack-roll"">/g;
    const replaceString =  `<div class="midi-qol-attack-roll""><div class="end-midi-qol-attack-roll">${newContent}`;
    content = content.replace(searchString, replaceString);
    console.log(content);
    chatMessage.update({ content: content });

The content is replaced from:

      <div class="midi-qol-attack-roll">
        <div class="end-midi-qol-attack-roll"></div>

to

      <div class="midi-qol-attack-roll"><div class="end-midi-qol-attack-roll"><hr><p><b>Luck Points Used</b></p>You have used 1 Luck points</div>

The card does not change however

[umbral basin]

What is the difference here? Im trying to compare them but I dont see it.

or.. is it the js.length?

[north ocean]

I’ll make sure I do that! I’ve just had to nip out so will do it when im back but thank you very much for the assistance, much appreciated.

[static sparrow]

Is there any way to make an item roll and apply its damage automatically without pressing the button or having the GM press any buttons on a per-item basis (when the general settings are to not fast-forward and not auto-apply)?

[violet meadow]

The function returns true/false based on a different conditional check

[umbral basin]

Ah
Well, it still doesn't work for me🥲

Still only damages Constructs and Undead

I think Foundry hates me

[violet meadow]

Did you change the macro on the actual Item on the character sheet, or the sidebar?

Replace all your Blood Spray items

[umbral basin]

I imported the new Blood Spray.
Then I made a new Character and gave it the new Blood Spray.

[short aurora]

Turns out that an item I snatched from dnd5e SRD wont uh... generate? conditionData unless I change item data on it, fun times

[violet meadow]

🤔

[umbral basin]

What am I doing wrong?😭

And when you say "All Blood Spray items" are there more than one?

[short aurora]

You can make a macro for each of the items, that's about it.

[violet meadow]

I don't know how many you may have created. To be safe delete all the ones you can find.
Import the last one.
Get it on the character sheet

Use that 🤷

[umbral basin]

So just to be clear.

1. I import the new Spell.
2. I have my macro set as "ItemMacro" That being the macrop you sent earlier.
3. I add the New Blood Spray to an actor
4. I use it?

[violet meadow]

Just Import the Item. DO NOT change anything. Do not even open it 😄

Put it on an actor. Use it

Does this work?

[violet meadow]

The item from here

[umbral basin]

I might have found the problem

Nothing changes when I import the item :I

[violet meadow]

Do you want me to connect to your world quickly to take a look?

If yes, send me a temporary user/pass for a GM account by DM

[umbral basin]

Lets try that

[vast bane]

wrong item type

make a basic spell

then import his spell on top of the basic spell

somehow since dnd5e 2.1 we've needed to import over the same item type now

[violet meadow]

You got some double " in there

<div class="midi-qol-attack-roll"">[\s\S]*<div class="end-midi-qol-attack-roll"">

and the replace String

[pseudo turret]

You're right, I've messed up the copy-paste, but the macro doesn't have the issue. Here are the macro, the card html logged after the update and a screenshot of the card

[violet meadow]

Are you using that on a GM's client?

[fringe crag]

Hello,how woud you set up something like that?:

Two Birds, One Stone.

When you make a ranged attack using the quarterstaff's sling, you can expend 1 of its charges to cause the sling bullet to transform into a pair of birds mid-flight. The birds then attack the target. Make an attack roll for each bird, using either your ranged weapon attack bonus or Wisdom (Animal Handling) bonus instead, whichever is higher. On a hit, the birds deal piercing damage, instead of bludgeoning. If you used your Wisdom (Animal Handling) bonus to make the attack, you add your Wisdom modifier to each damage roll, instead of Dexterity. The birds disappear immediately after the attack.

[violet meadow]

That is a PITA... Just create separate items...

[fringe crag]

PITA?

[spice kraken]

Pain in the ass

[pseudo turret]

yes

[fringe crag]

ah, yea I figured. Was my first thought too, Thought maybe you could do it via versatile and a flag. Is there a flag for linking abiility values?

or just @mod + @prof

oh damn I pinged someone

[spice kraken]

Put those inside `text here`

[violet meadow]

only thing that seems to be different is the type of message.

did it a bunch of times testing some things 😅

[static sparrow]

Can anyone help me understand midi's over time action save stuff? From the documentation, it seems like it should listen for whatever I have it set up as, but with the following "effect value":

rollType=skill,
saveAbility=athletics,
saveDC=13,
actionSave=true```

the effect isn't removed when the affected target rolls athletics and gets at least a 13. Am I missing something?

[violet meadow]

ath instead of athletics

[static sparrow]

That was the first thing I tried, I changed to athletics because I thought I may have gotten the wrong abbreviation and didn't want to look it up XD

[violet meadow]

Are you in combat?

[static sparrow]

Lemme give it another shot because I think I had a different typo as well when I was using ath.

Yep, that was it, thank you.

@gilded yacht Minor documentation quibble, but for the overTime saveAbility stuff, the documentation says that full skill names are acceptable but apparently they are not XD May be worth changing.

[vast bane]

I made a cheat sheet for myself so I wouldn't ever screw up with typo's, and shared it here:
#1010273821401555087 message

the ones with // in front of them means if you don't do anything in that sub group in the overtime, that is the default, if a group has no default its optional.

and the way I setup the cheat sheet the last one has no comma cause 99.9% of all overtimes use label anyway, I made it the last one so beware of commas, always put the label last in my sheet and you will be fine.

I personally just have it as a notepad++ tab when I'm making new items

easy to copy and paste from

[hollow atlas]

It's a valid response and helps in confirming the issue ^^

[hollow atlas]

Issue created: https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/issues/1222

[pseudo turret]

strange, I've tried public message, logged as player, and changing the div the macro updates, but nothing.

[hot flower]

can you pin that cheatsheet, @vast bane ?

[vast bane]

I can't but I can add it to the pin

[violet meadow]

Try maybe with only the needed modules 🤷

[vast bane]

Updated the pin but I'd rather have The list at the top of it so its kinda low in the pin.

I kinda base the pin off what are most commonly the easy answers here.

[north ocean]

@vast baneHey, im home now and first attempt didnt go well. Could you take a look at what im missing?

[vast bane]

If anyone saw my comments on pondering if Heartbeat is incompatible with midiqol, I discovered the cause of my constant spam errors. There was a token on the canvas that was an improperly setup vehicle sheet and heartbeat module has a stroke over that throwing errors galore whenever the combat tracker advances turns.

[vast bane]

Does anyone have the details for green flame blade? NOT the description

from DDB

[north ocean]

not quite sure where to add the extra splash damage

[vast bane]

hol up

it looks like you are pasting in an imported items contents into an item macro

https://github.com/MrPrimate/ddb-importer/blob/main/macros/spells/greenFlameBlade.js
On this linked page, there is a button you can press to safely copy/paste the raw contents:

Once you have pasted his macro in, at the very bottom of that item you have, there is a blank field to the left of "After Active Effects" change that blank field to ItemMacro

[vast bane]

do you not have DAE installed?

[north ocean]

Yeah

[vast bane]

Its kinda required for midi I think

pretty sure this macro you are pasting needs it

[vast bane]

I gave you the item import cause I thought you didn't have the spell yet

you clearly have the spell, so take that macro and paste it into the spell instead

[north ocean]

The actual spell from the SRD?

[vast bane]

its not SRD

its a SCAG/TCE spell

your actor has Green Flame Blade with a dope icon, might as well use whatever that is

and delete mine, but copy/paste the macro into the that green items item macro

and at the very bottom of that green item, hit the + so that you create a new on use macro field and put ItemMacro in and choose After Active Effects for the drop down.

[vast bane]

the macro is not going to workunless you have Dynamic Effects Using Active Effects Module installed, its wrench is notably absent from your top bar

unless you cleared its wrench setting out of its settings

[north ocean]

Defo have it

[vast bane]

k just an abnormal setup, no biggy. I think the macro is ok, but the problem is neither you nor I know what MrPrimates version of the item looks like on the details tab

[north ocean]

So it kinda works

but doesnt add the splash damage

[vast bane]

my first thought is it doesn't want it to be a melee weapon attack, but I have no idea, it'd be super awesome if someone with ddb's green flame blade could share the item details to us.

[north ocean]

and no idea what it will do at later levels

[violet meadow]

@vast bane https://github.com/thatlonelybugbear/FoundryMacros/wiki/MidiQOL-knowledge-database-by-@MotoMoto1234

[vast bane]

I think I'm good with deleting that pin then honestly

[violet meadow]

Nah, don't delete the pin. Change it to a link maybe, but still it is helpful to have it here too.
Though maybe the full text makes the pins a bit less informative?! 🤔 🤷

[raven holly]

Done!

[violet meadow]

oh well 😄

[raven holly]

haha oops

[vast bane]

nah I was fine with it being unpinned

right under it is the link to the wiki

I'll just point people to that post

[violet meadow]

We need @dark canopy to include the <https://github.com/thatlonelybugbear/FoundryMacros/wiki/MidiQOL-knowledge-database-by-@MotoMoto1234 > in the first pinned message then

[vast bane]

hmmm isn't the link in his post the main category?

I like the wiki anyway, the post is kinda tedious

[violet meadow]

I mean it sounds better to have it available there too (the link I mean)

[vast bane]

and doesn't look great on our phones

[dark canopy]

pointing to the wiki link with that link being obvious upon click through i think is good

if you really want the link, i can add though

[vast bane]

but I'm still sharing the attribution instructions here lol cause I got a quick link to the last time I ran someone through it

I wonder if theres a way to get the wiki to open the discord links in discord instead of browser?

or is that my fault with my discord settings?

[dark canopy]

it should give you a choice, but I would transfer that information to the wiki itself. Having important data relevant to the article hidden in some other service isn't terribly helpful

[violet meadow]

I have no mental capacity rn to think about what would be better. I trust you all 😄

[languid wave]

Is there a recommendation for handling combat on maps that are non-standard sizes (10ft grid, etc). I think midi assumes maximum distance between the squares, so melee attacks don't happen.

[dark canopy]

scale the map to 5ft squares

using 10ft scales gets rough

[languid wave]

10 ft isn't even the biggest. Storm King's thunder has 50ft maps IIRC

😅

Was more a mental excercise than an actual problem

wondering to myself "what to do" if the scenario ever pops up

I guess the solution would be to just use them for reference, and use a regular battlemap of similar style if you had to run combat

[dark canopy]

in that case, about 50 tokens can occupy the same square...so have fun with that

[languid wave]

😂

[languid wave]

I as the DM want things as complicated as possible plz. Stacking all the tokens seems like a great way to do it

[vast bane]

gawd I cannot stand how hard it is to deal with tokens on top of tokens

[languid wave]

also it's 100 medium sized. way more if you go to tiny ❤️

[vast bane]

I've been kinda avoiding adding a module solution

I had a mount module butit was too clunky

[languid wave]

the worst one I've run into recently for needing stacked tokens

is Dragonheist Xanathar's lair

[vast bane]

I never ran them through it hehe

my party's villain was the Cassalanter's

and I didn't do the alexandrian version, I did a homebrew one instead as I tied it directly to dotmm

I think the suggested module is tokenz

[languid wave]

That room has four spores and a zombie beholder

[violet meadow]

token z

it just works 😄

[vast bane]

I have 2 small race characters and they have medium sized mounts, a Tabaxi with a robot(its a Roomba) and a Gnome with a Mastiff

[languid wave]

This 1-cell-wide jail cell has a half-ogre, a minotaur and some medium sized character

and this is canon -- per the book

[violet meadow]

Cut the map to pieces, blow it up and create the correct amount of grid squares per map square

[vast bane]

You don't need to buy into his patreon to use his maps, he even offers the UVTT files for them. When you buy in he gives you all the bonus assets like trap tokens and moveable map parts and the dungeondraft assets for your own copy of DD.

[languid wave]

That's the villain I've chosen. I amended them to be sacrificing refugees though, including refugees that my party is saving 😄

[dark canopy]

I think this will still work in v10 (with deprecation warnings). Was really helpful while i was playing a Small beastmaster ranger. https://ko-fi.com/post/Badger-Scripts-Mount-Companion-Z8Z6EH76Y

[vast bane]

use Tych's Maps they are the best for alexandrian and regular dragon heist and also if you go into Dotmm hes one of the best for map art there too, so your players won't notice any artwork differences

[languid wave]

Yo those are really nice. I'm also making some now in dungeondraft so I can learn the damn program

thinking about making a third party enhancement to go with DDB Importer's adventure muncher

#media-and-assets message

[vast bane]

I think...well I know my main problem is just combat in general, its so hard to get to the right token when theres 3-4 in the same square. Dead folks+mount+mounted

[dark canopy]

which is why this macro does all that work for you -- with the identifiers set up appropriatly, its one click to mount, one click to unmount

[vast bane]

I've burned down the manor 3 times now in my campaign and the players have had to remake it in dungeondraft each time lol

[languid wave]

LOL

[vast bane]

They also bought the Gralhund estate when it was at auction. The last time the manor burned down it took all the other buildings in its clump minus the bent nail with it so they bought the other plots and are currently constructing an adventuring guild in it and now reside in Gralhund

[dark canopy]

let's try to stay on topic 🙂

[vast bane]

I'm like a grandmother getting a call from a son/daughter, I will jump at any chance to talk about my campaigns lol

[pseudo turret]

I tried, but that didn't help. It turns out that I need to await chatMessage.update() Not sure why you don't need to, maybe your test macro was different? Thanks for the help anyway

[violet meadow]

Oh I was

But still it shouldn't be strictly needed 🤔

[north ocean]

How does spiritual weapon + warpgate work?

[dark canopy]

many approaches 🙂

(unless you are speaking about a specific macro)

[north ocean]

How do i link it to my "weapon actor"

[dark canopy]

generally by name

[north ocean]

Ive got it working for me but my player is getting the message "lacks permision to create the token"

[dark canopy]

give them core permissions to create tokens

[vast bane]

there is a premade item in midi sample items all you need to do is make an actor named "Spiritual Weapon" though its recommended you drag out the jb2a actor as its already made

[dark canopy]

(players still need permission to create tokens)

[north ocean]

Sorted, thank you

[vast bane]

I prefer the v9 warpgate macro rather than the v10 one, only cause the v10 one had growing pains its probably sorted by now

[quiet solar]

I keep hoping to find somebody asking about magic missile so I can link to this innocently... but I'm just going to suck it up and call it what it is (shameless self promotion)

Hopefully the Magic Missile at least will be useful for somebody - thanks to everyone here for all the help so far!

How to write on the attack the activation condition "if the creature is not immune to cold"?

[gaunt python]

Are you trying to automate damage application with a given resistance?

[mighty pier]

No, I want the effect to not apply if the creature is immune to cold

[violet meadow]

!target.traits.di.value.has('cold')

[gaunt python]

Damnit. First time, I was like 'I know this one! I know this one!' just had to look up if it was in traits and still too slow 🤣

[violet meadow]

Actually I haven't checked if that will do it. Going off memory 😁

[north ocean]

How can i add an aura to Channel Divinity: Twilight Sanctuary? or do i need another module?

[mighty pier]

Did not work. The checkbox next to "Activation condition must be "True" to apply the effect" put

Hmm.. Well, it should work.. It seems to me that I did something wrong

No, everything seems to be correct. There is immunity to cold, a condition too, a check in "The condition must be met too" in the box too, but the effect is still applied to a creature with immunity to cold

[violet meadow]

put a value after di

Actually log the target actor and checkn

I will be at my pc in a bit

[mighty pier]

?

[violet meadow]

!target.traits.di.value.has('cold')

[mighty pier]

Ah, literally "value"

[violet meadow]

Don't forget the !

Edited

[mighty pier]

Oh great, now it works. Thank you 👍

[north ocean]

Is there anyway to automate those 2 choices if the player ends their turn in that aura?

[vast bane]

CPR has twilight sanctuary

[violet meadow]

I wouldn't use an aura for this.
I would create an item which when this channel divinity ability is active, can be used by the player and trigger a dialog to..

Ok then go for Moto

[gaunt python]

Crymic has a Twilight Sactuary in his patreon.

[vast bane]

I highly recommend all of these:

Sources of premade stuff for Midiqol:

w15ps's Module
https://foundryvtt.com/packages/w15ps-srd

and twilight sanctuary as well as its other features are in CPR

[north ocean]

its ok to install all the dependencies i take it?

[dark canopy]

i would recommend adding modules as you find that you need them

rather than that whole list at once

[vast bane]

I personally would preinstall them, when I first installed CPR I got errors in 3 of the dependencies, I think cause foundry/github didn't expect that many installed at once

I think Vallant is referring to CPR's dependency list

[north ocean]

I'm just installing CPR's

[north ocean]

Yeah

[vast bane]

you can try but if you see an error uninstall that one and reinstall

I personally had 2 error out saying they couldn't find the manifest prolly due to throttling at github

[north ocean]

ill just prerinstall

[vast bane]

once you installit go through its settings,you don't have to have it all on but I personally saw no performance degredation. I left off the things that didn't matter to my campaign

if you have unautomated versions of stuff, you should see a lil medkit/chest icon on the top bar, you can click that to have it update it, make sure you turn on synergy with midi srd/other compendiums so that midi srd's items also update

Need to ask tposney if he can move the version numbers off the names of the sample items so that his compendium plays well with CPR

[dark canopy]

(imo, the module using the other's resources should be the one to adapt -- assuming what its adapting to isn't straight up wrong, which its not, here)

[vast bane]

its not like that. CPR has a feature where you can feed it your own custom compendiums to update off of, and it has the side benefit of letting us feed it other modules compendiums too but tposney puts the version numbers on the end of the names of the items and CPR checks vs the name of the item to sus out to update with them or not so all of the samples get ignored.

[dark canopy]

sounds like its exactly on CPR -- to match substrings

[vast bane]

pretty sure he only started putting them in the name in v10

you convinced me, instead I'll just unlock my own and rename them hehe

[gaunt python]

IIRC, late v9 also had some that were versionized

[north ocean]

@vast bane Ok so i added Twilight sanc to me players sheet and used it, got the animation etc but no prompts when players end their turn

[vast bane]

did you turn on its required settings?

also did you actually update it to his version?

[modern badger]

how do u code max damage?

with MidiQOL

I wanna do the Pugilist's Haymaker feature ;3;

[gaunt python]

do you mean, how to get the roll formula in the macro to return a max roll? in that case: .roll({maximize: true})

[modern badger]

yeah but

Is there a way to set an active effect that gives the actor the maxroll property?

this, basically

I could give them an alt. weapon that deals max damage but I'd prefer if it could be an effect

[north ocean]

As far as i can tell yes

Do i need to manually add all the compendiums?

@vast bane

[vast bane]

I already have every item so I just use the update button on the top bar to get his version/updated versions

[vast bane]

each item should say what it requires too of his global settings

[modern badger]

.3.

[vast bane]

I dunno if this is true or not, but I think all of those are hooks, so you have to restart after you check them in his settings

[north ocean]

I already updated it

Ok. doing a foundry restart

[gaunt python]

flags.midi-qol.max.damage.mwak. Add it to the effect and set it to custom 1.

[vast bane]

you also might wanna join CPR's discord:

https://discord.gg/2PymZMqt

[modern badger]

:0

so that flag should maximize all damage?

[coarse mesa]

Nice UI! Someone needs to style those inline links tho 👀

[vast bane]

I'm using your styling

[gaunt python]

Yes. All mwak damage rolls will resolve to max dice roll

[vast bane]

you changed the icon on document links for me

[pseudo turret]

I'm trying to write a onUse macro for the isSave trigger. What I want to do is to give the target of the save the option to add +X to the saving throw after the roll, but before knowing if the save was successful. Are there macros you can point me to to understand how to have the client of the target show a dialog and make a choice?

[north ocean]

Yup that got it!

[modern badger]

nicenice

thank u!

[vast bane]

typically this is handled by the optional.NAME shit in the midi readme, literally search for optional.name

[scarlet gale]

You don't need to restart after enabling them

[vast bane]

is DF chat cards the folder name for DF chat enhancements?

[gaunt python]

you could also maybe have a look at CPR 'Focused Aim'. Although it resolves after a miss, it gives the player a popup to add to an attack roll. Maybe there is a way to re-engineer it to your needs.

[scarlet gale]

On a technical level it actually manually checks if an attack would hit before midi gets to it

[vast bane]

Whenever I need things to pop up between the roll and the declaration of success, I'm always using optional.something

[scarlet gale]

They should just be able to do an optional bonus

No need for a macro for that

[gaunt python]

makes sense. 👍

[mighty pier]

I have another question: I need a condition like "if the target has an effect with such and such a name" and "if the target has more than 10 effects with this name" (yes, I know, it sounds strange)

[scarlet gale]

Activation conditions

Or a macro

[mighty pier]

Btw, where to watch it? Where to look for everything that can be written in the condition? Or is it a collection of information from different parts of the entire foundry and/or MidiQoL documentation?

[vast bane]

how can you tell how many stacks there are though?

[vast bane]

the pin by Honebadger has the wiki, and bugbears activation condition crash course is in the wiki

[scarlet gale]

Activation conditions are just evaluated JavaScript

[mighty pier]

Damn, by the way, this is a problem. I need this both for effects that are applied several times with the same name, and effects that, when applied again, increase the sum by 1

[scarlet gale]

What are you trying to make?

[vast bane]

I assume theres something in the workflow you can check against, I just never have seen how to tell the difference between 5 stacks and 1 of an ae set to stack

[scarlet gale]

A flag on it most likely

[vast bane]

I'm guessing the stacking drop down is a Dfreds or DAE feature right since its kinda hard to apply a stack in core?

[scarlet gale]

DAE I think

[mighty pier]

I need it for two things. First, there is a mob that applies effect A if the target has effect B. There is also a mob that applies effect A only if the target has at least five charges of effect B (charges are made through "each addition increases the amount by 1"). Secondly, there is a mob that applies a C effect to itself with "Stacking effects apply multiple times" selected, as long as it has less than ten C effects. The second one sounds strange, it's easier to do it through a macro, as it seems to me, right?

[mighty pier]

Well, as expected

[mighty pier]

Ok, nvm, I figured out how to do the second part through a macro, and it really will be easier. And I already figured out the first one myself

[pseudo turret]

thanks, what I don't understand with flags.midi-qol.optional.Name.save.all is how to handle giving the character multiple options. I've done reroll, but I would also need to add to the menu created by the flag other options. Specifically +1 up to +5 depending on how many uses of a specific feature (could be a resource instead) the character has left.

[vast bane]

oh, yeah now I get why focused aim was suggested

[pseudo turret]

right, ok, I've used focused aim to create a macro for attack rolls. That's fine. I have it now and it works - it's attached here. (I am trying to implement the Luck Points rule from Kobold Press and its applies to attacks, saves, and all skill/ability checks). Now I've started working on saves, but here I'm using isSave as trigger and this.actor obviously is not the target of the save. Also I imagine the menu won't pop up for the target unless the macro deals with that specifically.

[mighty pier]

I didn't figure out the first one, it doesn't work. Once again, how to make the activation condition "The creature has an effect with such and such a name"?

[vast bane]

did you look at the wiki cause bugbear has that exact activation condition as one of his examples:

[mighty pier]

Okay, I'm blind. Thank you

[violet meadow]

preTargetSave instead of isSave as the trigger

[mighty pier]

Btw, I realized what the error was, I wrote ...eff.data.label... instead of ...eff.label..., and I was given a warning that this is an outdated thing or type of that. I understand correctly that this would work on V9?

[vast bane]

I doubt the shim works in activation conditions

it prolly would have worked in v9, give it to super he can test it for us ;p

[pseudo turret]

even if what I would like to do is to give the character having rolled the save the possibility to spend resources to add to the roll, not the attacker?

[violet meadow]

Oof too late to wrap my head around that one now 😅

hmmm is that an ability on the defender?

[pseudo turret]

yeah, it's getting late for me too 😹.
It is in a sense an ability on the defender.

It's a mechanic called Luck Points. You have a pool of points and every time you roll an attack, skill check or save you can decide - before evaluatjng the result - to use points to add to the roll or spend 3 points for a reroll. For attacks it was easier to automate, now I was trying to do saves rolled as per of midi workflows.

[scarlet gale]

I'm still pretty sure they can just be done with optional bonuses

There 100% is one for saves

[violet meadow]

yeah it sounds like optional bonus

The issue is how to insert the amount of points to use

You can trigger a macro off an optional bonus

hmm oh well can you?! I need sleep

[pseudo turret]

yes, that is my problem going down the optional bonus route.

[pseudo turret]

in the changelog I saw flags.midi-qol.optional.Name.macroToCall OVERRIDE | ItemMacro | ItemMacro. But it says that the macro will be called when an optional bonus roll is clicked.

[violet meadow]

yes that was what I saw and seemed that it couldn't help you 🤔

So instead preTargetSave trigger and do everything in there

That will be a macro onUse on the actor that has the ability

[gilded yacht]

When are you calling setDamageRoll?

[scarlet gale]

Post damage roll @gilded yacht

[uncut citrus]

Heys guys

I'm using Mid with the Moken Token Bar. Wanted to make all enemies/allies within an action's template automatically selected. Currently it is selecting only who is marked as a target. I haven't found an option that causes everyone inside the AOE to be tagged. Is there such an option?

[vast bane]

it is literally the first option at the top of workflow tab

[uncut citrus]

oh, ty

[scarlet stump]

Not sure if this already exists and I've missed it, so I'm going to ask here before opening a feature request...is there a way to have a "reroll" button displayed on the chat card for an attack/feature? When pressed, it would roll back any changes applied by the automation (similar to what the undo button does) and then immediately re-use the same attack/feature against the same targets.

It would be mostly useful in case someone forgets to roll with advantage/disadvantage, or when some automation is missing (IE: halflings racial skill that allows allies to reroll ones) or other cases like that.

[violet meadow]

That is not easy. There are too many changes that might have happened in between.

Concentration failing upon being damaged is namely a huge one (that can be disabled though), but effects etc being triggered or deleted or ...

Your best bet is to try to catch most common cases of such things before hand or just deal with it later 🤷 😅

[spice kraken]

The way I do it, I tell my players I'll automate what I can. I'll make a journal for you on what is automated, what isn't, and how automated. It's your job to remember all this. If you had advantage or disadvantage and forgot well too bad, remember for next time

Makes life easy

[violet meadow]

The best thing is to not auto apply damage for me

[spice kraken]

I'm the same way

[violet meadow]

I always use No + Damage Card as the option of choice 😄

[spice kraken]

And don't remove chat buttons

We are one

[violet meadow]

hahah almost. I yeet all chat buttons before even rolling 😄

[spice kraken]

You also left me behind in v9 land 😂

[north ocean]

Can that be set for just players?

[vast bane]

I full auto damage cause I hated having to keep track of players hp

[violet meadow]

I don't remember the different combinations available

[whole cobalt]

I am look at the new item macro function calls. In the older versions there was code for get a tractor (token actor?) from the tokenUuid or the game actors how should this be replace using the function args.

[violet meadow]

args[0].actor will get you what you need when calling a macro via MidiQOL onUse macros

[scarlet stump]

Yes and it's the setting I use at the moment

[scarlet stump]

But that's already there - if you click "undo" everything is reversed, including restoring spell effects and concentration. This button would simply automate "click undo + use the same feature again"

It's a qol change more than anything, although it's not a big one since undo exists

[violet meadow]

What do you mean Undo exists?

[whole cobalt]

so the definition for the new style function call is function myfuc({ speaker, actor, token, character, item, args }) now the old code has let tactor = (args[0].tokenUuid) ? (await fromUuid(args[0].tokenUuid)).actor : game.actors.get(args[0].actorId); I copied this from an example so not sure why this is done. can I just use the actor arg or should I use tokem.actor?

[scarlet stump]

After the damage gets applied, you can click the undo button (for every target or for specific ones) and it'll revert all the effects it has just applied

[violet meadow]

OK what is the macro and how do you call it?

[scarlet stump]

Can't take a screenshot now but it's after the damage card, it uses the usual "round arrow" design that undo normally has

Actually here's a pic (sorry for the picture of a monitor lol)

[whole cobalt]

from the item on use macro

[violet meadow]

That is highly circumstantial and will undo only any damage dealt.

For example, you cast a spell like enlarge reduce with automation. No take backs with an undo button available.

Or you attack with a weapon that deals damage and also applies the poisoned condition.
You can Undo the damage with the button provided, but not take back the condition application

Same with concentration deletion. If a spell drops cause you fail the con save, nothing you do will get back the effects etc associated with that

[violet meadow]

As a general rule of thumb, to save you from potential troublesome situations, I always tend to go from token to token.actor

So either use args[0].workflow.token.actor or fromUuidSync(args[0].tokenUuid).actor when tokenUuid is available.

I would think tposney safeguards against unlinked tokens and gets the args actor from the relevant token.actor, but not sure right now

[scarlet stump]

I see, it's weird cause certain effects seem to be reverted - although I can't test right now to figure out what's causing it

[violet meadow]

Dead and the likes when a token hits 0 would be reverted yes, but not anything else afaik

[regal igloo]

Hello, I'm having an issue with Magic Items and Midi-Qol. Specifically when a spell associated with an item calls for placing a measured template. When casting the spell from the item it automatically allows for placing a measured template, but when the template is placed, the target does not get prompted for a saving throw, and the spell effects are not applied. A chat card is created with two buttons: Place Measured Template, and Apply Active Effects. The Place measured template button will just place another template, but has no other effect. Using the Apply active effects will apply the effect on the target without a saving throw, except if it's a damage spell, it will throw an error saying there is no template placed.
I've double checked that the actor is properly targeted by the template.
I have found a work around that if I right click when prompted by the first auto measured template canceling out of the template placement, and then go to the chat card and use the Place Measured Template Button, Midi-Qol will work as expected - prompting a saving throw, and applying effects or damage as normal.
So there is obviously something getting caught with that first measured template placement.
I have disabled all modules except Midi-Qol, Magic Items, libWrapper, socketlib, and lib - Color Settings, and have found the same issue still exists.
v10 291, DnD5e 2.1.5.
Has anyone else experienced something like this?

[dark canopy]

i dont think Magic Items plays nicely with Midi? I could be wrong, but there are at least caveats

[wide crystal]

I second that. I've been having some minor issues lately as well... I approached it by simply dragging the relevant spells directly onto the character sheet, rather than via Magic Items.

[regal igloo]

according to GitLab - it mostly plays nice. With the excetion of looking for passive / transfer effects

[regal igloo]

I figured that was the route to go eventually. It's just nice being able to have the charges tracked on the item.

[wide crystal]

I agree. Alas.

[violet meadow]

@regal igloo and @wide crystal , relevant comment by tposney #1010273821401555087 message

Having said that, https://foundryvtt.com/packages/items-with-spells-5e is a no-frills replacement if you want to try something different.

[wide crystal]

I tried it recently and I found it rather lacking... I believe upcasting was missing and the UI seemed a bit odd to me. Just using it felt like I was doing something wrong 😄

[languid wave]

it's not a one for one, but it will get you 90% there

[neon lava]

Hey y'all is there a setting on core foundry or midi-qol that allows you to click on an attack/feature/spell to allow you to roll damage without needing to roll attack? Most of my players enjoy rolling physical dice for the attacks when called for, but prefer to keep damage on foundry due to wild calculations and otrher bonuses. Thank you!

[molten solar]

That is core to the system and something midi has removed for you.

[gaunt python]

maybe have a look at DF Manual Roll module. It lets you combine both physical and digital rolls and still keeps MidiQoL open for automation

[neon lava]

thank you! i'll take a look

[vast bane]

Generally speaking MIM is not needed really. If you need items with spells, use Items with Spells module, if you need items with other item types use warpgate or macro.createItem from dae.

[vast bane]

DF manual rolls module

[regal igloo]

Thanks, I've been playing around with Items with Spells and it's working much better. Covers the simple uses I'm trying to do

[vast bane]

As for upcasting in items with spells, it is a bummer that it doesn't handle it but you can do it manually in the module this way:

Now if only we can get collapsible spellbook tab categories 8)

[neon lava]

checking out this module now and it's a GOD send thank you so much!

now i no longer have ot edit initiatives for folks who prefer rolling physical dice on the combat tracker

[tardy root]

Concentration in particular doesn't seem to be ending with TimesUp for me, is there a setting I may have mismanaged?

[vast bane]

Any guru's feel like checking my work?

const duration = duplicate(args[0].item.system.duration);
let newDuration;
if (duration.units==="turn") newDuration = { turns: dvalue, startRound, startTime, startTurn };
else if (duration.units==="round") newDuration = { rounds: dvalue, startRound, startTime, startTurn };
else if (duration.units==="minute") newDuration = { seconds: (dvalue*60), startRound, startTime, startTurn };
else if (duration.units==="hour") newDuration = { seconds: (3600*dvalue), startRound, startTime, startTurn };
else if (duration.units==="day") newDuration = { seconds: (86400*dvalue), startRound, startTime, startTurn };
else if (duration.units==="month") newDuration = { seconds: (2592000*dvalue), startRound, startTime, startTurn };
else newDuration = { seconds: (946080000*dvalue), startRound, startTime, startTurn };
//const [spawnedCreature] = <Your whole warpgate macro here and remove the slashes at the start of this line and the <> around this>
const token = canvas.scene.tokens.get(args[0].tokenId).object;
const actor = token.actor;
await MidiQOL.socket().executeAsGM("createEffects", { actorUuid: args[0].tokenUuid, effects: [{
    "changes":  [{
        "key": "flags.dae.deleteUuid", "mode": 5, "value": spawnedCreatureUuid, "priority": "30"
    }],
    "label": "Summon Bestial Spirit", //rename this to the actor you are summoning
    "duration": newDuration,
    "origin": args[0].itemUuid,
    "icon": args[0].item.img,
    }]
}); 

This is meant to tie the summons to conc, lets you just paste in the summon macro into the area in the middle? I know I'm defining token and actor but thats ok, this requires advanced macros which lets you 8)

[short aurora]

I believe you can just tick Concentration on the feature used to summon whatever and make the warpgate macro an args = "on" macro with a dismiss macro on args = "off" and it will do all this for you

[vast bane]

this deletes the actor when conc ends

[short aurora]

It should immediately delete it

Actually sorry, unfamiliar with that flag in particular

[inland tendon]

Anyone know of a good premade effect that can reduce a creature's max hit points by the amount of damage taken? Maybe a chris or midi premade that's out there alreay?

[vast bane]

effects should never be used to mod hp or max hp unless you are absolutely desperate

multiple CPR items reduce max hp, shadow attack in particular

Here is my updated macro after some one tested it:

const token = canvas.scene.tokens.get(args[0].tokenId).object;
const actor = token.actor;
const duration = duplicate(args[0].item.system.duration);
const startRound = game.combat ? game.combat.round : 0;
const startTurn = game.combat ? game.combat.turn : 0;
const startTime = game.time.worldTime;
const dvalue = duration.value;

let newDuration;
if (duration.units==="turn") newDuration = { turns: dvalue, startRound, startTime, startTurn };
else if (duration.units==="round") newDuration = { rounds: dvalue, startRound, startTime, startTurn };
else if (duration.units==="minute") newDuration = { seconds: (dvalue*60), startRound, startTime, startTurn };
else if (duration.units==="hour") newDuration = { seconds: (3600*dvalue), startRound, startTime, startTurn };
else if (duration.units==="day") newDuration = { seconds: (86400*dvalue), startRound, startTime, startTurn };
else if (duration.units==="month") newDuration = { seconds: (2592000*dvalue), startRound, startTime, startTurn };
else newDuration = { seconds: (946080000*dvalue), startRound, startTime, startTurn };
const [spawnedCreature] = await warpgate.spawn("Your Actor Name", {}) //edit this line
const spawnedCreatureUuid = `Scene.${canvas.scene.id}.Token.${spawnedCreature}`;
if(!spawnedCreature) return;  //in case it was cancelled.
new Sequence()
    .effect().file("jb2a.misty_step.01.blue").atLocation(spawnedCreature)
    .wait(300)
    .animation().on(spawnedCreature).opacity(1.0)
    .play()
await MidiQOL.socket().executeAsGM("createEffects", { actorUuid: args[0].tokenUuid, effects: [{
    "changes":  [{
        "key": "flags.dae.deleteUuid", "mode": 5, "value": spawnedCreatureUuid, "priority": "30"
    }],
    "label": "Your Actor Name", //edit this line
    "duration": newDuration,
    "origin": args[0].itemUuid,
    "icon": args[0].item.img,
    }]
});

This will link the deletion of the summoned to the conc of the actor

(requires advanced macros unless you go and fix token/actor definitions and their usages below it)

[short aurora]

In my summons, I do something like this. This is using an effect slot on the item itself, but you can still create the effect programmatically if you'd like, just include a flag that triggers this macro.

if (args[0] == "on") {
    // Warp Gate spawn macro.
    // Name your spawn something more clever and you can retrieve it from your feature, so it's truly dynamic™.
    const tokenId = await warpgate.spawn("Burny Ball");
    if (!tokenId) return;
    // We save the ID in a flag on this effect, so when the effect is turned off either manually or by expiry, warpgate.dismiss has a tokenId it can dismiss.
    // If you have multiple Warp Gate spawns of different types, say Summon Demons or something, gather all their tokenIds in an array and put it on the flag.
    const effect = game.actors.get(args[1].actorId).effects.get(args[1].effectId);
    await effect.setFlag("world", "tokenId", tokenId)
};

if (args[0] == "off") {
    // Checking if we actually summoned something, as to not generate errors if not.
    if (!args[1].efData.flags?.world?.tokenId) return;
    
    // warpgate.spawn generates an array with tokenIds of spawned tokens, dismiss expects 1 tokenId, so we loop over the array and dismiss each of them.
    const summonArray = args[1].efData.flags.world.tokenId;
    for (const tokenId of summonArray) {
        await warpgate.dismiss(tokenId);
    };
};```

[vast bane]

I think the main benefit of mine is that I feel its simply a copy/paste and edit two fields and every summon will work, just a matter of pasting in the right warpgate command if the attacks/actor changes details

[dark canopy]

i like this -- what I dont like is the pattern emerging where we need to flag the casting actor in order to get rid of the summon 🤔 I wonder what I can do about that

(to be clear, the part me not liking is a result of how warpgate works, not how you used it)

[short aurora]

You can cut down on those two fields (if you're referring to the actor name) by defining it in one variable at the top and refer to it later :p You also have two unused variables actor and token

[short aurora]

I think that's going to be hard for you system wise for Concentration, that stuff is always on the onus of the caster :S While you're here though, I was surprised to see spawn return an array and dismiss not accept an array, any particular reason?

I still want to improve mine to make it truly dynamic, but I think that would involve me flagging the actors I spawn with any change data, like scaling abilities, and figuring out a way to put actor names in spells to summon and that sounds boring

[dark canopy]

Not really. It's one of the older functions that hasn't needed/gotten much attention

A loop dismissing them all is basically all I would end up doing under the hood. They all get queued internally and handled sequentially, so no real need to await the dismiss either

[wide crystal]

Hey guys, would you be able to advise on the necessary change to the below bit, so that the target/result list in the chat card displays the token thumbnails correctly?

continue;
    } else {
        console.log(`Sleep Results => Target: ${target.name} | HP: ${targetHpValue} | HP Pool: ${remainingSleepHp - targetHpValue} | Status: Missed`);
        slept_target.push(`<div class="midi-qol-flex-container"><div>misses</div><div class="midi-qol-target-npc midi-qol-target-name" id="${find_target.id}"> ${find_target.name}</div><div><img src="${get_target.document.texture.src}" width="30" height="30" style="border:0px"></div></div>`);

I have an old (I assume) Sleep spell script and you can see the issue on the first screenshot. As per Bugbear's advice from Feb that I found here somewhere, I tried changing <img src="${find_target.data.img}" to <img src="${get_target.document.texture.src}", but I believe that simply breaks the function altogether, as instead I get nothing (2nd screenshot). Any thoughts?

[raven holly]

Im not sure, but I would try ${get_target.texture.src}

[wide crystal]

I'm afraid that doesn't work.

[vast bane]

aren't they used in the create effect function?

[dark canopy]

You aren't using them in that function if they are needed

[vast bane]

I thought the actoruuid was using actor my bad

[raven holly]

wait a minute, the rest of that macro is using find_target not get_target does ${find_target.document.texture.src} work?

[wide crystal]

Yes!

Sorry, I'm completely unaware of how these things work, as of yet.

Thanks so much.

[modern badger]

Is there a way to automate blood frenzy?

'3'

[spice kraken]

What's it do mechanically (don't just drop the whole description here)

[gaunt python]

IIRC, adv if the target current hp < max hp

[modern badger]

ye, adv. vs creatures missing HP

[wide crystal]

First thought would be:

flags.midi-qol.advantage.attack.all >> Custom >> @target.attributes.hp.value < max

No, that's not correct.

[short aurora]

So close! No need for @ there

[wide crystal]

That doesn't seem to work, though. I still get adv no matter the target HP.

[modern badger]

;3;

[short aurora]

HMM, does it still require a macro?

[gaunt python]

Thats because you shorthanded the max part: target.attributes.hp.value < target.attributes.hp.max

@modern badger If you are looking specific for Sahuagin, make that '.mwak' instead of '.all'

Editted, for future searches:
5e Sahuagin Blood Frenzy missing hp automation
flags.midi-qol.advantage.attack.mwak Custom target.attributes.hp.value < target.attributes.hp.max

[modern badger]

thanks!

[atomic badge]

Does anyone if it is possible to make Midi simulate "stack" mechanics?
Example being: If you take X amount of damage, you gain half of that as stacks.
Example 2: You gain a stack upon being hit by this attack.

[atomic badge]

Oh and does anyone know how to set vulnerabilities through status effects using DAE + midi?

[atomic badge]

Another thing, but does anyone know how one automates on-turn/on-enter persistent AoE effects?

[spice kraken]

Need a custom macro for this

[spice kraken]

Assuming it's a temp vulnerability thing?

[spice kraken]

Look at the readme for the overtime effects part

AOE things you'll need another module in conjunction to an overtime effect (active auras, idk if babonus can do it)

[atomic badge]

Thanks for all the answers!

1. Care to elaborate on the custom macro thing here?

2. And yeah it is for a temp vulnerability thing.

3. Thakn you, I assume I can find the readme somewhere in MidiQOL's github?

I do have active auras enabled ftr.

[spice kraken]

1. That is not something you can do with just AEs (active effects). So you will need to create a custom macro (javascript (JS)) or have someone here make it for you

2. system.traits.dv.value | Add | pick one from the drop down

3. Yeah, https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/blob/v10/README.md (ctrl f for turn=start and it'll take you right there)

What's the OT you wanna make?

I'll let you try and make it first but I'll make it myself too to help if/when you get stuck

[atomic badge]

Well, the main one I'd like to make is just a simple 1d8, 10ft aura, on-turn/enter.

I could definitely make an attempt on making automation for some of the other OT effects but I think they'd be far too complicated to make so I'll simply apply those manually.

[spice kraken]

Do you have Active Auras?

[atomic badge]

I do.

[spice kraken]

Also this Aura, is it something homebrew or actual spell (just so I can read it)

[spice kraken]

Good. Keep in mind this is a combat thing only and idk how it'll handle it outside combat so personally don't bother there

[atomic badge]

So I guess some context should be given.

Whenever I make boss fights I do one of two things, I either create something from scratch (this takes a lot of time and can get very frustrating for me), or I take a Raid Boss from an MMO and translate it to D&D.

One of my most common MMOs that I steal from are WoW and FFXIV, as they have the best documentation on them that I know of.

In this case the overtime effect is from pillars that the boss summons at one point that appears after a status has expired.

Initially I wanted to make an effect macro to automate this but remembered my troubles in the past trying to make a Death Ward effect that expires upon hitting 0 hit points.

I do have everything already written down, it is not a pure stat block as I did all my work on Foundry specifically.

[spice kraken]

Got it

So basically an aura that does 1d8 at the end of a turn (I say end cause if it's start and they enter the aura during their turn, they will not be dealt that damage)

What kind of damage

[atomic badge]

Fire damage specifically.

[spice kraken]

What happens if they save?

No damage or half

Also does that mean they are now immune to said aura damage?

[atomic badge]

No saving throw.
Just this damage upon fulfilling the conditions for being inflicted it. (That being inside of the aura)

[spice kraken]

Oh better question, is there even a save

Beat me to it

What is the name of this damage that you want to see in the chat?

[atomic badge]

Just "Overboiling"

[spice kraken]

No name will pop up something like DamageOvertime

Cool

Everything look fine (this is just my notes, not finished)
1d8 fire, turn end, on the boss, no save, label Overboiling

Oh, and 10ft aura

[atomic badge]

1d8 fire, turn end, on the pillars*, no save, label Overboiling, 10ft aura.

[spice kraken]

On the pillars?

Oh and 1 last thing. Is the aura always active or something you activate

[atomic badge]

Yeah, uh, so certain mechanics will spawn "pillars", these are the source of this aura.

Only the boss is capable of destroying these "pillars", these pillars spawn a "pool" that deals heightened damage upon death.

[spice kraken]

And is there a duration

[atomic badge]

Always active.

[spice kraken]

So no duration, got it

[atomic badge]

Aye. 👍🏻

[spice kraken]

I'll start making it so give me a few to make sure everything works fine

Keep in mind, you will need an actor for the pillars and them to be in combat for it to work

[atomic badge]

Oh okay!
Well yeah, I know that, haha. ^^

[spice kraken]

Last things, are you using Token Magic and want an animation when they enter the aura (as another visual note of being in the aura)?

Also, do you want an icon like this when in the aura or no

[atomic badge]

I am using Token Magic, an icon can be left out if an animation is playing instead.

[spice kraken]

Cool

Making it now

[atomic badge]

Highly appreciated! 🙇🏻

[spice kraken]

Soooo

If we do the animation, it'll also be on the pillar

Is that fine?

[atomic badge]

That's fine yeah.

[spice kraken]

1. Create a passive AE on the Pillars actor (you can give the Effect Label a name like Fire Aura just for your internal reference)
2. Create 2 Keys. 1 is macro.tokenMagic | custom | fire (you can change it to be anything else but it's a fire aura so why not)
3. Other key is flags.midi-qol.OverTime | Override | the stuff below

damageRoll=1d8,
damageType=fire,
label=Overboiling```
4. Auras tab, copy the picture (a grid needs to be on the scene)

These 2 in the AE can be changed to whatever you want

Or just leave them as default

[atomic badge]

Alright, thanks a bunch! Finished setting it up based on your instructions.

[queen raptor]

"Tale of the Avenger. For 1 minute, any creature that hits the target with a melee attack takes force damage equal to a roll of your Bardic Inspiration die."

Is there a way to make this happen with a custom effect and midi? I'm not sure whether there's some kind of flag for dealing damage to targets who attack the actor. It doesn't necessarily have to be able to pull the bard's inspo die, I'm happy to enter/change that manually

[scarlet gale]

You can have a bonus damage set to the bard dice scale

As a DAE effect

[queen raptor]

It's not bonus damage

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean

[scarlet gale]

oh

I misread what you said

[queen raptor]

It deals X damage to creatures that hit the target

(With a melee attack specifically)

[scarlet gale]

macro territory honestly

[queen raptor]

I gotcha

[oak mulch]

Hello everyone! I'm starting with automated combat and need some help. I want to change the way Exhaustion Works with MIDI + Combat Utility Belt + DAE. The idea is to make every level of exhaustion substract -1 to Attack Rolls, Ability Checks and Saving Throws. Since I don't find a flag for that on MIDI, what would should I type on "Attribute Key" field?

[scarlet gale]

That would just be the core attributes

Not a flag

For example: system.abilities.cha.value

[oak mulch]

Is there a sheet that includes all of these? I found one for Midi, but nothing for core stuff.

[scarlet gale]

Look in the #dnd5e pins

[oak mulch]

Tyvm

[short aurora]

@woeful topaz For your blood hunter Crimson Rite question, there's a few people who've made the features already. I recall Crymic has Crimson Rite somewhere on his Patreon and Chris' also have some Blood Hunter features available in his module https://foundryvtt.com/packages/chris-premades, I know Hybrid Transformation and Crimson Rite is in there somewhere.

[short aurora]

@queen raptor I noticed the chat in #macro-polo and for what it's worth, I am 99.9% sure Chris did not intent to lead you over there, I believe they just directly answered the question "is this possible with a custom effect and midi". :p It is macro territory, but as you've noticed, still also Midi territory. Can you share how your world is setup in terms of automation? How much are you looking to get this feature automated?

[queen raptor]

So, I already have a way (with a rolltable and world items) to have the bard roll on the spirit table, grab the item to add to his sheet, and then fire it at somebody - the item then destroys itself on use. I can make an active effect on the item I made for this Tale that lasts for 60 seconds, but I'm not sure how to write a macro that checks for that active effect and then applies the damage to people that hit the affected actor with a melee attack.

[short aurora]

Roger, tposney (dev of midi-qol may only good things come their way) actually has a sample item with something like this called Retribution and that seems to work. Can you do me a favor and test if that'd work with your setup? It should be in MidiQOL Sample Items, just drag it onto a test actor and try to attack them. If that works for you, then we can tinker it to fit your ability

[queen raptor]

Oho, I didn't realize there was a sample item for this

[short aurora]

It's a rare one but also utilizes a bit of macroing, but if this works, we should be able to make yours work as well, it'll just change how we go about it

[queen raptor]

Looks like it works. The Hill Giant has Retribution, Sam hits the Hill Giant, the Hill Giant does damage back. (Don't ask me where the hill giant got 1500hp)

[short aurora]

Great! For some reason, most of my intellect just seeped out somewhere, so we'll do a dirty version and then I'll come back with a better version later 😄 Do you keep a copy of this item somewhere for reuse? Like a compendium or the sidebar? The one the bard consumes to cast this

[queen raptor]

I don't keep it in a compendium (I'm betting doing so would be more efficient wrt data, though?). I keep the bard's spirit items in the sidebar. When the bard rolls Tales From Beyond, he can drag the item from chat to his sheet to get a temporary item to roll it.

[short aurora]

It's definitely better data-wise to keep it in a compendium. You should still be able to drag from the compendium onto the rolltable if you want to change that in the future, but for now, we'll just use the sidebar item. Create a script macro and fill it with this, where you change the damage roll to your Bard's bardic scale and the damage type to fit whichever it was;

const actor = args[0].options?.actor;
const token = args[0].options?.token;
const target = fromUuidSync(args[0].tokenUuid);
    
if (!actor || !token || !target ) return;
if (args[0].item.system.actionType === "mwak" || args[0].item.system.actionType === "msak"){
const damageRoll = await new Roll("1d8").roll({async: true}); // Change the roll to your Bard's scale
await new MidiQOL.DamageOnlyWorkflow(actor, token, damageRoll.total, "force", [target], damageRoll, {itemCardId: "new", itemData: game.items.getName("Tale of the Avenger")}); // Change "force" to whatever your damage type is, remember the " around the damage type
};

whoops, forgot to actually edit the item name in >_> get this one

Once you've made the macro, edit the item and on the effect that it applies to its' target, create a line with
flags.midi-qol.onUseMacroName | CUSTOM | WriteWhatYouNamedTheMacroHere, isDamaged

I just realized I assumed it was on hit, but you mentioned attack. Do they need to get hurt or just get swung at?

[queen raptor]

They need to be hit, specifically with a melee attack

[short aurora]

Right, we need to edit the macro a little bit afterwards to filter for that

[queen raptor]

Force damage is already correct, die is changed to the bard's d8, effect added

[short aurora]

Yush, give it a shot then, this should work like the Retribution sample item and just return damage to whoever deals damage to the effect's owner/the target of the bard's tale

I'm digging out the "melee attack" filter in the meanwhile

[queen raptor]

Yup, looks like that works.

Bard used his Tale on Sam, the Hill Giant hit Sam, Sam did 1d8 of Force damage to the Hill Giant.

[short aurora]

Good stuff, I found what we need to filter on but it's not doing what I want, bear with me here

[queen raptor]

No rush, I appreciate your time and effort.

[short aurora]

There, edited the original macro, give it a shot. We just enclosed all the damage dealing in an if checking for the item that attacked us' action type. You said melee attack, so I assumed both melee weapon attack and spell attack was ok.

[short aurora]

fack, 2 sec

[queen raptor]

No worries lol

[short aurora]

There 😄 Re-copy, re-paste and try again

[queen raptor]

Perfect!

Haven't tested the spell attacks part, but the Giant takes damage when he hits with his club, but not with his rock (as expected).

Just confirmed for spell attacks

Many thanks, Krig

[short aurora]

👍 No problem. I know it can be improved so might have a look later, for now, remember to edit the damage if the bard levels 😄

[queen raptor]

Yeah he's gonna upgrade his die next level so I'm gonna have to go through and redo a lot of d8's lmao >.>

I know I can do the scaling for the effects that the bard is rolling himself, but for the Tales where he grants it to other people I had to manually do a d8 because I didn't know how to pass the bard's scaling dice to other people

[short aurora]

Yeah, when the effect is on someone else, you lose a lot of info of the "caster". I can think of a few ways that it can be done though, I'll have a peek later when brain is less lukewarm

[queen raptor]

No worries, thank you again for your assistance.

If you do end up revisiting Spirit Tales, the only other thing I'm missing is the part of Tale of the Phantom where the recipient's next hit causes fear on the target - I can make the recipient invisible and give them extra damage for a single strike, but the Frightened transfer is beyond me.

Right now my janky solution is, like with some other Tales, giving the recipient a one-use item that lets them cause the Frightened condition on a target.
