MidiQOL

[scarlet gale]

Calling MidiQOL.applyTokenDamage makes a workflow without an item.

[celest bluff]

it wants the full item details

[scarlet gale]

Or at least, it can.

[celest bluff]

I'll test it out

[scarlet gale]

Reverting to 37 fixes the issue, so something in the new update broke it.

Either from 38 or 39

I want to say damageOnlyWorkflows also can be itemless

[celest bluff]

it dealt damage fine but no workflow was generated

typically MidiQOL.applyTokenDamage is workflow less and MidiQOL.DamageOnlyWorkflow makes a workflow

MidiQOL.applyTokenDamage provides

[scarlet gale]

https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/blob/v10/src/module/utils.ts#L446

It's looking for a workflow.item in some spots here...

So

[celest bluff]

technically you could dump all that into a workflow, but then it might trigger additional damage heh

[scarlet gale]

https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/blob/v10/src/module/utils.ts#L493 appears to be the exact line it's running into an issue now

[celest bluff]

You running a silent macro with no chat card?

[scarlet gale]

https://github.com/chrisk123999/chris-premades/blob/master/scripts/helperFunctions.js#L75
Most of the time I'm just calling this.

I wrapped the midi function, but that shouldn't change it

MidiQOL.applyTokenDamage is all I'm really doing in certain places

[celest bluff]

you can also toss saving throws into that as well

[scarlet gale]

https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/blob/v10/src/module/utils.ts#L464
This line implies that null should be supported.

[celest bluff]

and add additional damage or add a prebase damage total

[scarlet gale]

(And has always worked before)

[celest bluff]

I'll check my other box

you're saying 10.0.37 works fine, that's what i got to test with

[scarlet gale]

Yea

[celest bluff]

Tposney's not gonna answer anything until Monday

[scarlet gale]

Yep. But Tposney normally just goes through and checks all mentions from what I've seen.

[celest bluff]

I already alerted him about DAE 27 with @ items

[scarlet gale]

Saw that too, that seems like a much more annoying bug to deal with

[celest bluff]

I sent him a follow up message with what you're experiencing

[scarlet gale]

I think it's likely fixed with adding a ? somewhere in there

[celest bluff]

yeah tends to be the fix

he rushes through a lot of stuff and often it's just a ?

I've had to mod midi tons of times in the past

[scarlet gale]

I don't update midi-qol until I'm very certain it's safe to do so

At least for my own personal game

[coarse mesa]

do we need to downgrade DAE too? have a session in an hour

[celest bluff]

I'd suggest it

26 is safe

[scarlet gale]

My dev server I just mash the update all button normally

[celest bluff]

https://gitlab.com/tposney/dae/-/blob/451939e0a677db3965236dc5ee195e58e6a2eac6/package/dae-v10.0.26.zip

[coarse mesa]

thanks bud 👍

[acoustic atlas]

Working on an item with two effects, one temporary which that hits the target, the other a passive which buffs the user. It seems like the use of the feature is applying the temporary effect to the user not the target and overwriting the passive effect in the process,

Is it worth just splitting them up

[vast bane]

show me the item details, the effect on the ITEM's settings all three tabs, and if there is a second, which I doubt, and is the cause of all this, show me the second effecst three tabs

[vast bane]

I never updated and I'm on midi 37 and dae 26

I only update if chris says its mandatory to lol

I'm of the philosophy don't fix what aint broke

[vast bane]

whats the effect tab on them?

[vast bane]

always always always lead bonus fields with a - or +

+1

So what exactly is wrong with the item? its not going to be perfect, but it looks to be my kinda janky for a janky Magic Weapon infusion

Warpgate wiki has an example for this fyi

https://github.com/trioderegion/warpgate/wiki/Magical-Slap

lol it'll be a funny conversion, const thisToken= this.token

[acoustic atlas]

Test is the user, Battle Dummy is the target.

Test has the radiant weapon feature and when its applied, it immediately gives the blind condition to test and doesn't give the weapon buff

[vast bane]

actually midi samples or midi srd's shilleileigh is a better example

already setup for midi and it lets you pick the item to update

[acoustic atlas]

Rolling the effect with Battle Dummy targeted doesn't apply the blind condition to it

[vast bane]

is this a pre roll feature?

show me the effect tab of test

are you making the armor specials from the artificer?

[vast bane]

if so those are already made in CPR

drag the item to the sidebar, export it and dm it to me

or just send it here

[acoustic atlas]

Where in CPR, can't find in Class Features, Class Feature Items or Item Features

[acoustic atlas]

I'm making the infusions

Not the armor model features

[vast bane]

isn't the radiant thing the reaction to one of these armors?

[acoustic atlas]

Nope, its an infusion

[vast bane]

are you hosting for a level 6 character?

cause making stuff when you are amateur is not a wise idea, make what you need now, and learn, then build the far off stuff when you start to get a grip on stuff

[acoustic atlas]

OK,

[vast bane]

you are not making this item right

[acoustic atlas]

Not anymore

[vast bane]

The item itself with the +1 should be a warpgate or dae item update. Shilleligh and magic weapon are great examples. It should have a dae key for macro.createItem that grants a reaction item as long as the weapon is equipped that has 4 charges and deals the blind out.

you could go the route you are going for a janky way, but break the item up

don't do both items together

make the base buff item that buffs the caster/holder of the weapon. Add a key to the other two +1's that is a macro.CreateItem

then go make your second item thats a reaction that blinds

store that item that blinds in a compendium somewhere you won't delete, then drag it from that location into the effect value of macro.createItem

make the item that has the two +1's and the macro.createitem a standard effect transfer, target set to a creature, range of touch. No boxes checked in the effect. Duration should be set to nothing, but put a force show value in the first tab so it shows up as a buff on the actor so the artificer knows who has it.

Do you fast forward?

You could improve this janky method if you don't fast forward, install advantage reminder and instead of directly modding the global to hit and damage, instead add a reminder with a +1 button in it so the player can decide if they are wielding the radiant weapon or not

I actually think the sacred weapon premade might be a better item to plagerize

would have to add the damage parts to it but it comes with the lights done and the to hit

that blinded is gonna be ugly no matter how you do it unless you can get someone to write a good macro for it, almost a smite esque macro

a prompt at the end of the workflow to apply blinded and expend a charge

Dialogs are the bane of my existence so I can't help you with that, I'd just leverage the player to remember to apply it

you could put an advantage reminder/inline roll command in the damage message to roll the blind ability though

[vast bane]

You can hold your breath indefinitely while you're not incapacitated.

This sounds to me like it deserves a condition immunity for suffocating?

[vast bane]

I can't believe I've never seen this till now, kudos to this glorious cheat sheet:
https://github.com/trioderegion/warpgate/wiki/Item-Creation-Template-(DAE)

We need this exact thing only an active effect made via a macro lol

[scarlet gale]

Pretty sure that's just reverting the last mutation, not one via a name

[vast bane]

The races are not going as I had expected for the wiki checklist. Sure theres a few automations outside DDBI, but DDBI is basically nailing them all while every other module isn't, feels kinda pointless to do them but I'll keep at them.

https://github.com/MotoMoto1234/Midi-Wiki/wiki

Feats, Spells, and Races are done, the Class features is roughly just what MaxPat gave me so far unpolished.
**Races are not done, just a few are done

[vast bane]

It looks like its asking for a name isn't it?

it only gives feat and spell for examples, I take it items are a lil more complicated?

[scarlet gale]

The mutation doesn't have name set and the revert is just undoing the last mutation on the stack

So if you have another mutation occur, it may revert the wrong one

[violet meadow]

Just keep in mind that there is a possibility that this will not be the workflow in v11.
I am considering just always adding a line to define workflow to better be safe than sorry

[scarlet gale]

I'm not worrying about that yet. If v11 requires changes, so be it.

[vast bane]

Chat GPT will help alot

It can translate the advice you get well but its on a 2 year delay for foundry specific javascript

I largely get by, by just plagerizing similar things already made.

[violet meadow]

Just use current Midi SRD with caution.
With all the recent updates of midi/DAE I won't push the new version till their kinks have been sorted out and tested the changes in the spells.
Most of them are gonna be reworked.

Hideous laughter is one of them

[vast bane]

with my posted change to the overtime the macro-less one works now

the macro one has an issue with the args

and I'm on version 37 so it can't be the new stuff

it prompts just fine but the problem is the DC is zero so it always succeeds the first time they are smacked

[violet meadow]

I can go through and provide some pics instead when I get back

[vast bane]

if you ctrl F in this thread for "Sigh Attribution" you get my two images for attribution which is what I think he was referring to

I put those words in so they could be found lol

[violet meadow]

I was waiting for the onUpdateTarget to be fixed, cause I included an automated save with advantage if you are damaged (which is fixed).

Hopefully within this week we will be on a stable enough version to get it out and start working on v11

[sleek bone]

Was there a way to set up an effect like a grapple applied via an attack to be removable with an effect flag that pointed to a save DC? I know about the "Special Duration" of "Expire if the character rolls X Saving Throw: Success" but I don't remember what flag and effect value I had to set for this to work

[vast bane]

midi overtime active effect, just search for overtime in the midi readme

the wiki has an entry for an overtime cheat sheet so you don't make any typos in the overtime syntax

[foggy vigil]

Hiya, anyone know the name for the system attribute Hit Dice. Can't find it for some reason.

[vast bane]

select a player character and type _token.actor in the console and try to find it in the data

[sleek bone]

So had a read and while this does help with a lot of things I have tried to set up recently, it still kinda does not seem to give an answer to what I was trying to set up. The OveTime thing still AUTO rolls the check - I'm trying to set up a grapple that must be escaped with an ACTION and have the DC linked to the effect in some so that it auto-removes upon a success, even if I completely remove the "turn=start/end" bit the OverTime flag still just automatically rolls the save

[vast bane]

actionSave=true,

the overtime key and the macro.ce key that applies grapple are on the same ae, so when the overtime is defeated with an action save, both are removed

were you reading the v9 readme or the v10 readme? cause what you want is actionSave which was added in v10, it only works with turn=end fwiw

and don't remove those btw

use the cheat sheet to better make your ot's

[sleek bone]

Oh yeah I most likely read the V10

[vast bane]

when you set the overtime to turn=end and actionSave=true, you will cause a successful specified check of what the overtime is expecting to remove the overtime before the end of the turn happens

you have to define the check, my cheat sheet is very helpful in this, its in the pins in the wiki

[foggy vigil]

Thanks Moto. Worked like a charm.

[narrow saddle]

I am trying to downgrade/regress/go back to 10.0.26 DAE, I downloaded the ZIP, but when I unpack the ZIP, the folder is just called DIST?

Do I just rename it before I overwrite v27?

[vast bane]

yeah the dae zip has the wrong folder name in it

both midi and dae have a folder in them that probably doesn't need to be there but dae's is especially problematic as its the wrong name

[wide crystal]

Hello JS sorcerers. I was wondering whether you'd be able to advise on how to make an item reapply an effect at the start of the wearer's turn?

Cloak of Displacement: Disadvantage on attacks against you, disables when you're damaged, reactivates on turn start.

I tried adding the following effect macro on turn start: dnd5e.documents.macro.rollItem("Cloak of Displacement") and set the effect to apply to self when item is rolled, but I assume this doesn't work like that.

[coarse mesa]

Finally annoyed me, now that you've mentioned it. Test this for me?

[id^="ActiveEffectsConfig"] .window-content {
    overflow: visible;
}

[vast bane]

Recharge on 1 for junky solution

Effect macro roll origin for less janky.

[wide crystal]

How would I go about recharging?

[acoustic atlas]

What does "system.abilities.str.min" reflect?

[coarse mesa]

Not 100% sure but I'd assume it sets the score to a minimum, like how Gauntlets of Ogre Power set your STR to 19 if lower than 19 but don't reduce your score to 19 if higher

[acoustic atlas]

I am hoping to create a floor for strength checks (think "Indomitable Might"). If it is as you describe, then idk how to apply it

Its like reliable talent but I can't see the macro for that so idk

[vast bane]

recharge is below consumption on the item details, if you have simbuls creature aide that feature suddenly can act as a reminder to use something every turn as simbuls pops it up in your face.

its a box you check and then set a value between 1 and 6 as its the standard npc recharge

if you recharge 1, then it recharges every turn guarenteed and prompts the user that its available

you can also make 2 effects on the cloak, effect one is always on, and has an effect macro on turn start that rolls origin(Origin.use()). Then the other active effect is the displacement thing with a special duration of damaged, that rolls self/self to apply.

[dark canopy]

I am waiting for your contribution 🙂

[bitter pewter]

I need to activate an area damage to all tokens in 20 feet when an actor reaches 0 hp

I am trying to understand how to activate a macro on 0 hp or an effect

[raven holly]

Alright, so this is how I have a macro triggered when a specific actor dies, the macro I use is very basic, it just rolls that item from their sheet
1 Create an Item
2 Create an Active Effect with Transfer on Equip, Duration of Special - Zero HP, and the Effect of macro.itemMacro
3 Add item macro

[bitter pewter]

Thanks will try it on a feature

[bitter pewter]

Is there a way to have midiqol.trapworkflow place the template automatically without asking it?

[hot flower]

ok. sorry for this very basic question, but i've downloaded DAE 10.0.26, and it unzips to dist... i've tried renaming it to dae and manually uploading it, but it's not getting picked up by foundry. the module.json has the id as dae so not sure what i'm doing wrong. Any suggestions? Have a session in 1.75 hours.

ok. nvm. took a couple of uploads to get it working.

[coarse mesa]

If anyone else is sick of the DAE key autocomplete list only showing three at a time due to the window clipping, this seems to be the fix (Custom CSS). I haven’t seen any adverse consequences but let me know if you do

[proper siren]

Hello hello, does anyone know if midi has a way to initiate a saving throw against an active effect on the character any time that character is damaged?

[celest bluff]

You'd have make a Dae effect with an expiry isDamaged. then in the off statement to check for that expiry. Inside that you can place your saving throw.

You writing berserk for golems?

[violet meadow]

If you have a description of what you want to achieve we could suggest more specific solutions

onUpdateTarget DAE flag can monitor for hp changes and trigger whatever you want too

[hardy marlin]

Are midi damage rolls broken currently?

[proper siren]

Thanks, this is for the spell Enemies Abound

[proper siren]

Thanks! This is the description of the spell, I'm trying to automate the saving throws when the target takes damage:

You reach into the mind of one creature you can see and force it to make an Intelligence saving throw. A creature automatically succeeds if it is immune to being frightened. On a failed save, the target loses the ability to distinguish friend from foe, regarding all creatures it can see as enemies until the spell ends. Each time the target takes damage, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.

[celest bluff]

This macro needs the whole item, either it's set to null or it's just the item name

[proper siren]

Btw I sub to you on patreon and just modded your eldritch blast macro to create a custom magic missiles spell that I've been wanting to do for awhile, so thanks for that!

[hardy marlin]

It effecting every item after an update

Was fine last week somepoint during the week midi updated and now all damage buttons produce this

[scarlet gale]

Update or downgrade your midi-qol

[hardy marlin]

I have done full reinstalls still the same thing

[scarlet gale]

Actually, downgrade

[hardy marlin]

Do I just point to an old module.json

[scarlet gale]

It's same bug I mentioned yesterday by the looks of it

[celest bluff]

Yeah I suppose you can make the other version of magic missiles from it which needed an attack roll.

[proper siren]

Yeah Jim's magic missiles from acq incorporated, I made other changes to it as well. Works awesome now

[proper siren]

is there any documentation for onupdatetarget? not seeing anything in the midi docs

[violet meadow]

In DAE

[proper siren]

oh right

lol

[violet meadow]

It's a DAE flag and is exactly what you need. I am using it for Hideous Laughter automation

If I have access to my server later I can share something

[proper siren]

thanks appreciate it, looking for the docs on the dae documentation now

[hardy marlin]

Can someone point in the right direction of finding old midi releases on gitlab?

I don't know gitlab

[celest bluff]

Looks inside the commits

[violet meadow]

https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/blob/v10/package/midi-qol-v10.0.37.zip

change the version with the one needed

[hardy marlin]

I was trying to the manifest link kinda cba manually doing it but thank you

[violet meadow]

and https://gitlab.com/tposney/dae/-/blob/v10/package/dae-v10.0.26.zip

[hardy marlin]

Im guessing latest dae doesnt work with old midi

[scarlet gale]

Latest DAE has it's own issues

[proper siren]

Thanks, unfortunately not seeing anything in dae's documentation either, if you have an example you can send later that'd be awesome

[celest bluff]

Yeah the documentation for it on dae pages is there but it's not fleshed out enough. Also the flag line wants a ton of arguments

[vast bane]

I dunno, I kinda feel like Chat GPT, I have no creative thoughts of my own, I just copy the smart people here.

My one cool contribution here was my shieldmaster/dual wielder toggle, but chat GPT helped me make it lol

Heres a positive effect on the community this wiki has had:
Those two cantrip changes were borne from me pouring through ddbi to qualify his stuff for midi automations and he took the advice and they are now good spells to yoink for midi.

(DDBI patch notes)

[violet meadow]

Create a DAE with the flags.dae.onUpdateTarget | Custom | SpellName, ItemMacro, system.attributes.hp.value,@attributes.spelldc, wis

(SpellName is a placeholder name, change it to the spell name or whatever
Also I am passing spelldc and wis as the save to roll, which you can change easily ☝️).

The ItemMacro can be something like ```js
const saveDC = args[1];
const saveAbility = args[2];
if(args[0] === "onUpdateActor") {
const {originItem, targetActor, options:{dhp}} = args[args.length-1] ?? {};
if (dhp >= "0") return;
const flavor = ${CONFIG.DND5E.abilities[saveAbility]} DC:${saveDC} ${originItem?.name || ""}
const saveRoll = (await targetActor.rollAbilitySave(saveAbility , { flavor, fastForward: true, advantage: true })).total;
if (saveRoll < saveDC) return;
await MidiQOL.socket().executeAsGM("removeEffects", {actorUuid: targetActor.uuid, effects:[targetActor.effects.find(eff=>eff.label===originItem.name).id]})
}

Ah I got that from my Hideous Laughter so it has advantage on the save when the Actor gets damaged, but as a starting point should do it

[violet meadow]

small edit

[proper siren]

Awesome thanks! Yeah this should definitely work to get me there

[proper siren]

hmm looks like onupdatetarget isn't initiating the item macro. I'm using: flags.dae.onUpdateTarget = Enemies Abound, ItemMacro, system.attributes.hp.value,@attributes.spelldc, int

Does that look correct?

[sharp lynx]

is there anything in Foundry that can apply the "no reactions until the end of your next turn" for a target?

[proper siren]

you can apply a reaction with convenient effects, you can do that based off whatever condition you want to use as well. That will effectively stop additional reaction opportunities

[sharp lynx]

so you basically force them to use their reaction?

[proper siren]

Yeah, what is the condition for it to happen?

[sharp lynx]

this is for a blood curse - if they fail a save, their movement is 0 and no reactions until end of next turn

[proper siren]

Yeah, I can send you a screenshot of the dae you'd want

[sharp lynx]

sure thanks - trying to figure out how much of this I can automate 🙂

[proper siren]

lol depends how much time you want to spend

[sharp lynx]

of course 🙂

learning this so sticking my feet in all sorts of pools.

[proper siren]

for sure, here ya go, requires dfreds convenient effects and midi/dae of course

[sharp lynx]

and I assume the Dfreds CE gives you the Reaction option (hence the CE?)

[proper siren]

correct, and that integrates with dae's reaction checking, so if they have reactions available they won't get a prompt trigger for them

[stark badge]

Does anyone have any cursory suggestions for implementing artificer infusions? As far as I can tell ddb-importer doesn't quite handle this properly, and applying active effects to owned items of an actor separate from the one casting the spell seems complicated.

It occurs to me that I can manually administrate a consumable item that grants an artificer infusion effect

[dark canopy]

This may be helpful. #1010273821401555087 message

[stark badge]

Sick, thanks. So if I'm understanding this correctly, and based on the wiki entry you linked, this macro would apply the infusion itself, which gives you access to the action to shed bright light, but not necessarily a way to trigger the action itself

[dark canopy]

Yea, triggering this code is up to you. You can customize the changes/new ability items however you want as well.

[mystic timber]

quick easy one I think

how do I add a second subtype

I cannot get it to work

[spice kraken]

['construct'].includes('@raceOrType') should do it

[mystic timber]

I mean, I am trying to add "undead" to the forbidden types

[spice kraken]

Could do ['construct', 'undead'].includes('@raceOrType')

[stark badge]

Cool, thanks. I'm still learning js syntax and foundry's functionality, but if I'm reading this correctly, and using ATL which has its own flags, I can add things like 'atl.light.dim': 30 and 'atl.light.bright': 30 to the baLight shorthand to adjust those properties when the macro is run.

I appreciate your attention

[mystic timber]

eyyyyy that worked

Where does "@raceOrType" fit in the API

[violet meadow]

does it trigger a warning from midi that no macro present or something?

If yes, you can link the item by using Item's uuid instead of just ItemMacro. Easiest way just directly drag and drop the Item from the character sheet to the Effect's field on the DAE.

That will create a link and then use it to be ItemMacro.Actor.actorId.Item.itemId for a linked actor or ItemMacro.Scene.sceneId.Token.tokenId.Item.itemId

[spice kraken]

From the readme

[violet meadow]

@proper siren DAE version?

That flag was fixed in the latest DAE version 10.0.27

[vast bane]

we all had to downgrade due to breakage in 39 midi

pretty sure dae also has a bad breakage with @

[dark canopy]

All of that sounds correct to me 😀 the devil's in the details, but there are some brains here to help

[proper siren]

10.0.26 currently, so that makes sense, I heard @ variables were broken on 27

[vast bane]

warpgates gonna be better to mod the light settings of a token than ATE/ATL in a macro fwiw @stark badge

[violet meadow]

You would need to wrap the @ in "" if I read that correctly, but yeah there is an issue in latest DAE

[proper siren]

cool well I'll upgrade to latest once that's fixed and see if onupdatetoken is fixed too

[violet meadow]

onUpdateTarget I can vouch that it is fixed as I've tried it 😉

[vast bane]

the problem with downgrading for your specific issue is you will have to go Far far back and even downgrade dfreds CE just to get a fix and that means no CPR if you have that

if I understand it as such, the last dae that had that flag functional was before dfreds 4.0

best to just wait it out and sit on the newest or dae 26

I can't imagine dae 27 working well with midi 37, isn't he in the process of fiddling with v11 compatibility?

[proper siren]

what's broken in 39? I haven't noticed anything..

[vast bane]

and we absolutely have to use midi 37 if we're cpr users

Temp items break in CPR

[proper siren]

ahh okay, I don't use cpr so that makes sense

[vast bane]

You guys need to try out lukas' css fix for dae! No more weird scroll down here.

Share the code here so I don't look like a mooch lol

[coarse mesa]

[id^="ActiveEffectsConfig"] .window-content {
    overflow: visible;
}

('twas Moto's idea)

[vast bane]

plop that into custom CSS module and the weird glitch with the suggestions is no longer glitched

[coarse mesa]

Hopefully @gilded yacht can implement it – it's not technically one of his windows 🤔

[vast bane]

I feel like this deserves its own channel with foundry lol

CSS tweaks

[frail osprey]

pardon for the noobish question, but where do I insert this code?

[short aurora]

You need the Custom CSS module or to add a custom CSS file.

[frail osprey]

Also on the noobish questions streak, I've noticed that ddbi has a macro for Hail of Thorns spell (though it doesn't have an automated HoT for importing), how do I implement this macro?

[scarlet gale]

You likely just need to reimport your spells

[short aurora]

Or to run js const TestItem = game.items.getName("Hail of Thorns"); await game.modules.get("ddb-importer")?.api.effects.addDDBIEffectToDocument(TestItem); with the new version, Jack just fixed that macro and it works if you have all of the enabled dependencies. edit: have the item Hail of Thorns in your sidebar for this one

It spits out a debug in the console for which you need

[frail osprey]

I'm probably doing something wrong, but even after reimporting, hail of thorns doesn't show up at the ddbi spells compendium

btw, is there a way to make the ddbi macros folder show up as a compendium too?

[frail osprey]

I'm sorry, it seems I am too tired and having trouble understanding. If it's not too much trouble, could you eli5 me through this?

[short aurora]

Have your Hail of Thorns spell be in the sidebar, create a script macro on the action bar with that content and run it. If you don't see a change, it's because this macro uses a lot of dependencies and you can press F12 to see a yellow message from the importer saying something like "spell effects need these modules enabled" and expand a list in there to see what you need.

Sidebar being tab

[frail osprey]

Oh, yeah, right. I have all the dependencies, my issue is actually where should I paste this macro to make it automate my players' spells.

[short aurora]

If you run that macro, it sets it up for you on the sidebar item with ddb importer enabled

[frail osprey]

For a second there, I thought I was, maybe, the dumbest mf in the world, but then I took a breather, came back and tried again reading things attentively. It worked like a charm. Tyvm, Krig!

[vast bane]

you are probably missing one of these dependencies. Or never checked this box. If you imported the character, you probably didn't have this same setting checked their.

isn't hail of thorns brand spankin new, wasn't it Elwin's that he just shared to Mr.Primate?

[frail osprey]

I have all the dependencies and checked the box, but I imported only spells, maybe that's why?

[vast bane]

I imported only spells and got it

are you using a proxy or patreon

[frail osprey]

yup, github shows it's like 2 weeks old

[frail osprey]

nop

[vast bane]

yeah hail of thorns is only available from ddbi

[frail osprey]

I do have the js files on my computer (inside the ddbi module folder) but they just don't show up as a compendium in foundryvtt

weirdest thing of all is that the Darkness macro shows up at my macro directory

[vast bane]

they wouldn't be there

the macro is in the item macro of hail of thorns

[frail osprey]

makes sense

but then HoT should be here though, shouldn't it?

[vast bane]

you don't own it

[frail osprey]

is it patreon only?

[vast bane]

you need the players handbook for it

[frail osprey]

ah, right

for a second there I simply forgot ddbi uses DnD Beyond as source, lol

[vast bane]

Its a self/self item with:

so your other source of the spell would not know to change the item details to self/self

and clear out the action type

clear damage formula as well as any save info

[frail osprey]

That's very informative! Thank you, kind soul!

[cyan turret]

I'm having an issue where all my line abilities no longer target anything in the area...all other templates are working fine.

[vast bane]

there are so few line abilities are you sure its all of them. What one is reporting the issue?

and what are your target settings in workflow tab/workflow button

[cyan turret]

Every ability that has a line template is no longer targeting creatures within them for me

[vast bane]

lightning bolt fails?

[cyan turret]

Yes "no targets"

[vast bane]

show us the console error

and your target settings in workflow button>workflow tab

[violet meadow]

Are you using a templates changing module?

Ok Find the culprit time I guess

[vast bane]

what version of foundry is that?

[cyan turret]

v10

[vast bane]

thats alot of GM's logged in

disable better roofs and see if it starts working

while you are in that window give us your midi, dae, socketlib, libwrapper, dnd5e, and better roofs version numbers

[cyan turret]

I dont have better roofs enabled

[vast bane]

wtf is roofs then?

[cyan turret]

roofs and overhead tiles

[vast bane]

disable that module

[cyan turret]

I'll disable

[vast bane]

Adds to the list

https://giphy.com/gifs/mashable-l3q2K5jinAlChoCLS

[cyan turret]

Disabling that module didn't change the result

[vast bane]

whats the new error

I think we're about to play This is Your Life with v9 and older modules.

[vast bane]

you have 70 warnings on fresh load?

you need to purge your v9 and older modules

[cyan turret]

XD

[vast bane]

I'm just gonna assume right now that your problem is you have better rolls for 5e installed

[cyan turret]

I do not

[vast bane]

clear out your v9 and older modules and then make sure none of these remain installed or their settings are not tweaked so they don't mess with midi

[cyan turret]

I do have advanced spell effects...

I really can't have that?

[vast bane]

does it have a yellow 9 triangle in manage modules/add on menu in setup?

if you have module management+ that module hides the triangles

[vast bane]

Then yeet it

or yeet midi /shrug

[cyan turret]

Well yeeted or not, line template still not targetting...let me look through ...

[vast bane]

is your midi v10?

your world looks like its frozen in time

[vast bane]

what is your top 3 drop downs in the workflow tab of midi's workflow button

my guess is its set to a module you don't have

[cyan turret]

These are my options on the templates....some of these are new to me...like cylinder

[vast bane]

Settings Sidebar>Configure Settings>midiqol>workflow button>workflow tab

[vast bane]

show me the image of the map in walls mode

[vast bane]

do you think the template was stopped by walls?

[cyan turret]

definitely not. Been testing on multiple maps

[vast bane]

does it work with midiqol, dae, socketlib, and libwrapper as the only enabled modules?

[cyan turret]

cry

let me check.....

[vast bane]

the module find the culprit makes that test super simple btw

[cyan turret]

i'll download it now then

[vast bane]

you also have alot of dead modules installed just from this snippet lol:

[cyan turret]

Yes I know...I do need to purge

[vast bane]

is the caster an evocation wizard?

I wonder if midi 39 broke sculpt spells

[cyan turret]

not sure what i'm doing wrong with find the culprit

I click start and nothing happens

[vast bane]

find the culprit button is in bottom right of manage modules, lock in socketlib and libwrapper and then check midi/dae

did you just install it? 0_o or did you already have it?

[cyan turret]

Just installed

[vast bane]

jesus you are unlucky, what version is it?

[vast bane]

who is your service provider lol

go out and update find the culprit

wait

lets make sure you are on the right stuff here, nothing about this matches. What is your real foundry version/build and dnd5e system?

if you are still ingame hit settings side bar and snippet the top of it

[vast bane]

wait a minute you have 232 modules installed?

[cyan turret]

Okay, yeah I had to update find the culprit. give me a sec to check again

[vast bane]

yer probably stressing whoever your service provider is with that mod count but fwiw to fix find the culprit update it, for some reason your provider decided you should use an old version that doesn't work in v10

if its forge you might have forge set to a legacy mode and you are getting v9 stuff and manually overrode your system and build

[cyan turret]

Okay....so it looks like find the culprit literally disabled all my modules anyway

sigh

but good news is it was now targetting correctly

[vast bane]

its probably taking the first attempt and continuing it

[cyan turret]

I have no idea how to go back

[vast bane]

honestly take it as an omen, you need to do some house cleaning, 232 modules is massive even for midi user standards

only enable modules that are v10 or higher

[short aurora]

Just F5 and Find the Culprit should re-prompt you

[cyan turret]

Yes, thank you. Its not trying to find the culprit - I guess by 1/2 the modules every time

[short aurora]

Yup

[vast bane]

thats how it works but honestly we weren't setup for that

[cyan turret]

it's telling me 0 modules still in the list though...

[vast bane]

you aren't going to get an accurate read

bruh forget find the culprit you got the only answer that matters. You don't want to do a find the culprit with 232 modules lol

trim all your v9 and older and try midi with just that, if it works you can move on

if it doesn't work, start a ftc with a more tamed module count

[cyan turret]

How do I stop find the culprit though? lol

[vast bane]

hit the reset button when it asks you yes/no/reset

[cyan turret]

I did...

[vast bane]

lol

you are so unlucky

[cyan turret]

w/e i'll go through this like you said

But I am definitely getting unlucky

[vast bane]

go out to the meny and safe configure load into your world by editing the world

you aren't going to find the true culprit cause you only enabled 2 of 232 modules that are dependencies. You will get false positives or an endless loop

[cyan turret]

I'm just sad now all my modules are disactivated and I didn't write down which ones i had active

oh well

[sharp lynx]

ok weird - I am not seeing Reaction (CE) as a possible choice.

[proper siren]

Go ahead and right click on Reaction in the convenient effects sidebar and select Toggle Status Effect

[vast bane]

if its not showing up its cause you are using the wrong key though honestly

you are trying to use statusEffect

macro.ce doesn't have the limitation of status icons only and is a much better key overall since statusEffect doesn't work well with CPR and it has that weird effect where it squishes all status effects into one.

[sharp lynx]

oh that is the one gambit had in his screenshot

[proper siren]

I don't use cpr

[vast bane]

thats not the biggest point there, statusEffect squishes all status' together

[proper siren]

hm gotcha, guess I haven't run into that

[vast bane]

any active effect with two statuseffects will do it

[sharp lynx]

ok macro.CE does indeed show me Reaction. Thanks @vast bane

[proper siren]

I'm pretty sure I have one of those, maybe I'll poke around and see what happens if I use it, not sure what squished together means lol

thanks for the tip though, I'll use macro.ce moving forward for those

[vast bane]

it uses just one active effect on the actor and takes the other status Effects special keys and adds them to the other

[hasty jackal]

any way to disable the icon of CPR´s Aura of protection?

[vast bane]

I don't use it but my guess is its an active effect so clear the force show field, alternatively you can clear the icon field

I think you will find you want that to show, my player hated not having a visual clue

[coarse mesa]

On the token? FWIW Token Variant Art will let you hide any token icons you want specifically, and there's also an option to just hide them unless you hover the token/hold Alt (thats' what we do, so you can see them if you need to)

[vast bane]

I think its easier to just clear the force show field, I doubt CPR made a permenant effect have a duration

[coarse mesa]

yeah assuming you don't mind doing it again if you update it

[hasty jackal]

weird is only the aura of protection, aura of courage doesnt add the icon

[proper siren]

this isn't midi but does anyone know if the applyDamage function takes a damage type argument?

[vast bane]

lol if it isn't midi then you aren't using midi 0_o

[sharp lynx]

In the ItemMacro dialog should we be able to use console.log("my message here"); ? Or is there something different. Trying to debug something

[proper siren]

I don't trust chatgpt smh lol

[vast bane]

do you mean the macro window? What is this dialog you speak of, image?

[sharp lynx]

yeah the macro window

[vast bane]

chat gpt will not have anything right for midiqol

[sharp lynx]

sorry dialog was wrong word to use

[vast bane]

just search here for applyDamage

[scarlet gale]

I didn't use active auras for anything. There isn't any way to configure my aura of protection short of editing my module.

[proper siren]

yeah you really gotta twist it's arm for foundry then double and triple check

[hasty jackal]

maybe its bugged

gonna try to create the actor again

[vast bane]

use lukas' idea

have TVA filter it out

[coarse mesa]

Nice Gilthanas pic btw, grew up on Elmore

[sharp lynx]

You are like the FIRST person to recognize that!

[vast bane]

I only know Gilthanas as one of the elves in dragonlance

I think

[sharp lynx]

correct!

[vast bane]

I'm right lol?

[coarse mesa]

Elmore's style is pretty distinctive, hasn't aged that well but I still love it

[vast bane]

aren't they the one that ya know....had the unique love interest?

[sharp lynx]

yeah he did have a unique love interest

[coarse mesa]

oh that's right

[sharp lynx]

one of my other handles is Gilthalas, which is a mix of Gilthas, Tanis' son, and Gilthanas

(sorta ;P)

so I figured a picture of Gilthanas would do

[hasty jackal]

wheres that option on TVA?

[vast bane]

active effect tab in its settings

you need to know the name of the effect thats on the actor

Bottom setting here:

[hasty jackal]

thanks so i guess it should be
Aura of Protection, Aura of Courage

[vast bane]

on an actor who has it, look at their effect tab, THAT name is what you put in

it could be that, but often a default effect will add "effect" on the end of an items name

[sharp lynx]

ok - is there a way I can make midi only fire a macro if the saving throw fails?

or a way in the macro to see if the target made its save? problem is that save it made from the item's feature section, not sure if the macro code can read that.

[short aurora]

Yup, saw you experiment with console.log earlier, try console.log(this) to see the workflow from the item or console.log(args) to see arguments passed to Midi, should have all the info you need.

(As long as it's an ActiveEffect or an item triggering the macro)

[sharp lynx]

ok, console.log(this) gives me a bunch of stuff, and I see stuff for the target - any tips on what might tell me if it made its save?

oh wait I missed you said the workflow....examining...

[short aurora]

There should be a failedSaves somewhere

Gives you either tokens or actors that failed the save, can't recall which

[sharp lynx]

ah I see it, jeez

[scarlet gale]

https://github.com/chrisk123999/chris-premades/tree/master/scripts/macros

I do a ton of macro stuff based on workflow data if you need examples of what can be done.

[sharp lynx]

yeah I have your repo open in a tab 🙂

ok cool, I think I have something that works well for Blood Curse of Binding. Thanks everyone for your help the last few days - really appreciated!

[sudden crane]

@gilded yacht I think that when you refactored the code to display DSN rolls, the feature that added the dice flavor was broken at least for normal damage roll.
I tried with fire spell and the dice was black instead of red.
I’ll get back to you if I find the exact cause in the code.

[vast bane]

I find its easier to just think if something similar to what I wanna do and then plagerize that. for your case, probably the mace of disruption checks for a save in a macro

[proper siren]

anyone know how I could convert the following to a midi attack roll?

await game.dnd5e.dice.d20Roll({ parts: [`@abilities.${spellCasting}.mod + @prof + @bonuses.rsak.attack`], data: actorData, advantage: advantageCheck, disadvantage: disadvantageCheck, targetValue: armorClass, elvenAccuracy: elvenAccuracy, halflingLucky: halflingLucky, fastForward: true, chatMessage: false });

[short aurora]

... just fastforward and check hits I guess?

[stone mango]

Can someone help me with a macro that takes the damage rolled and adds it to the triggering player's health?
this is for dnd5e. I plan to trigger it right before applying damage, but after rolling it

[hasty jackal]

whats the key for absorption an element? midiqol flag ddoesnt work

this doesnt work

[spice kraken]

flags.midi-qol.absorption.damageType (acid/bludgeoning etc.) converts damage of that type to healing when applied to the actor with the flag set. As well as a trye/false value (set via mode CUSTOM) flags.midi-qol.absorption.type, can be a numeric value instead of true false. The damage type will be converted to healing and the quantum of the damage will be multiplied by the specified value (e.g. flags.midi-qol.absorption.acid OVERRIDE 0.5 will convert incoming acid damage to healing 1/2 of the acid damage). Negative numbers can be specified. So flags.midi-qol.absorption.acid ADD -1.5 will cause acid damage to do 1.5 times as much damage and be of type healing so will ignore acid damage resistance/vulnerability.

[high dome]

hex

[gilded yacht]

What's the error?

[gilded yacht]

That's certainly not something I thought to test - will have a look.

[gilded yacht]

Been away for a few days - what's the breakage in 10.0.39 that's causing the problem?

[vast bane]

Think its more missing items or something, CPR's having an issue with applyTokenDamage I think

[vast bane]

I never updated so I don't have the problem myself but @scarlet gale knows for sure

[strong yew]

So the current safe versions are midi .37 and DAE .26?

[vast bane]

39 is safe if you don't use CPR

DAE is safe but you gotta wrap any @ in "

I think your best bet for DAE is to live with the @ issue on newest, as before then a few key ae keys were broken

[strong yew]

Yo, did you ever post conjure animals?

[strong yew]

I think I'll stick to .37 and .26 then lol

thanks

[spice kraken]

No but it's easy to deconstruct

[gilded yacht]

Whats the @field issue in dae? (An actual example would help)

[vast bane]

Check your DM's from Crymic I think he was the one that found it I'm just parroting him, I've not updated to the new versions, just sharing what was shared by others who have.

[sudden crane]

@gilded yacht while looking for the DSN bug, could you also expose the displayDSNForRoll function in MidiQOL, it could be interesting to use in item macro that rolls dice.
While at it, could you also expose playerFor and playerForActor?

[scarlet gale]

It's not just CPR with issues Moto. There is a bug with damage application.

[spice kraken]

Also if you really need it I can post it

[strong yew]

I mean, I can figure it out, was just hoping to save some time is all

[spice kraken]

Give me a few to add some comments

[strong yew]

Cheers, and thanks

[strong yew]

Morning Chris. Quick question, for your Summon Beast premade, there's no way to have a custom token image as-is, right?

[spice kraken]

Read through all the comments

I know it works on v9. Idk about v10

[strong yew]

Much appreciated. I can tinker with it if anything is wrong

Thank you

[vast bane]

read the description of the item that comes on the premade beast, basically you are meant to edit an item macro thats on the feature and put your images there

[gilded yacht]

Sure, will expose those.

[errant gull]

Is there an easy way to roll back a MidiQOL update? I'm not used to gitlabs. It's super easy to do with github, but I'm not seeing where to do it with gitlabs.

[vast bane]

in here? you can probably find it by search for .zip lol

yep lol

[errant gull]

What about through gitlab?

[vast bane]

it is through gitlab, you have to copy zip contents into your modules for gitlab

its usually wise to move the old midi folder in modules out, and then bring in the midi folder inside the zip to modules

don't delete the old till you know the new is all set

for dae you need to rename the folder as the one inside the zip is poorly and wrongly named

[errant gull]

Sorry, I might be misunderstanding you. Are you saying I need to search for .zip on this Discord to find the link to the file on Gitlabs? Or are you saying that I run a search on Gitlabs?

[dark canopy]

https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/tree/v10/package

[vast bane]

its an easier way to get the download links then diving into gitlab atm

just cause nobody really uses the term .zip and the last person who did was solving your exact problem hehe

tbf, tim did get the info about fixing it so hes probably working on that, but you should definitely step down to midi 37 if you are a CPR user and planning on hosting today, no time table on the fixes for midi yet though

[errant gull]

Ah. Well since this is kind of a pain in the butt, is anyone else having a bug between MidiQOL, Let Me Roll That For You, and Dice So Nice where it has you roll saving throws like 3-7 times in a row for a single save?

[vast bane]

what are the errors?

[errant gull]

No errors.

And if I disable Dice So Nice it goes away, but Dice So Nice hasn't updated in months, so I don't think it's an issue with that module.

[vast bane]

does it happen if you disable lmrtfy?

set the saves to chat message or auto

(or try out monks tokenbar)

is the save an overtime effect?

for an overtime I mean

[errant gull]

It's for any item that calls for a saving throw.

[vast bane]

downgrade or swap to auto/chatmessage or monks tokenbar I guess

[errant gull]

Doesn't seem to happen with Monk's Tokenbar.

[vast bane]

LMRTFY is kinda on the rare side for midi users so maybe you are the first person to see it in 39

[errant gull]

Really?

How do most people call for saves through Midi?

[vast bane]

I personally have always used MTB but theres 3 options for it so its at best 33% of the choices

technically 4 if one goes manual in midi

[errant gull]

What's MTB?

[vast bane]

but thats HERESY!

Monk's Tokenbar

[errant gull]

Well that's weird. Downgrading Midi isn't solving the issue.

[vast bane]

LMRTFY updated 17 hours ago

[errant gull]

Yeah, that was the first one I downgraded.

[vast bane]

are you sure theres no errors?

you really should try to report that to his git cause midi 38+ have been attempts at him adjusting midi for v11 release and every report helps him fix it so that v11 is not so rough on us midi users.

[atomic badge]

Hey there Chris, I know it has been ages ago, but I was wondering how one calls functions from chrisPremades.helpers, I am not very code savvy so I think I completely misunderstood the assignment.

[errant gull]

Yeah, I'm happy to report it once I figure out what the heck is going on. I've rolled back both Midi and LMRTFY and I'm still getting the issue.

[vast bane]

join his discord server, he has an faq with the answer to that very question.

https://discord.gg/qMfrEQzR

[vast bane]

simplify the situation, drag out two fresh starter heroes and fight each other with them

also are you sure you downgraded LMRTFY, league modules tend to not store the backlog versions

yeah all the download links on LMRTFY are the same latest versions

[errant gull]

Hm

It says 3.1.6 in my module list

Latest version is 3.1.7

[vast bane]

I dunno how you got yours but the last 7 versions on the package page all point to 3.1.7

[errant gull]

https://github.com/League-of-Foundry-Developers/fvtt-module-lmrtfy/releases

[vast bane]

that one is 3.1.7 under the hood if not over the hood fyi

[errant gull]

What do you mean?

[vast bane]

look at the module.json in your LMRTFY folder

[errant gull]

This is why I prefer github personally. Makes getting earlier versions very simple.

[vast bane]

its just a different UI, you can do the same thing in gitlab, its just different

[errant gull]

I guess! Nobody ever told me to search discord for .zips to track down a github file before.

[dark canopy]

github has the benefit of template repos, and a lot have been based on the League's module release template, which uses the github actions to build the actual package

gitlab has similar, but i dont think its as easy to just copy and use, hence the differences in repo structures

[covert mason]

I'm trying to get an axe to use a feature from the item directory or a compendium whenever it rolls a certain number on its extra fire damage. How do I get this macro to do that?

const targetRolls = [6];
const results = args[0].damageRoll?.dice?.find(d=>d.flavor?.toLocaleLowerCase()==="fire")?.results.map(r=>r.result);
const res = results?.some(r=>targetRolls.includes(r));
if (results.includes(targetRolls)) await actor.items.getName("Eruption").use()```

[short aurora]

From the item directory it's game.items.getName, if you want it from a compendium, you have to get the item's uuid (you can open the item and right-click the tome in the title bar to fetch that) and await fromUuid(item_uuid_here).

[covert mason]

So it would be something like:

const targetRolls = [6];
const results = args[0].damageRoll?.dice?.find(d=>d.flavor?.toLocaleLowerCase()==="fire")?.results.map(r=>r.result);
const res = results?.some(r=>targetRolls.includes(r));
if (results.includes(targetRolls)) await fromUuid(cJW2jBaiHuYQsaMx).use()```

[short aurora]

The uuid is a string, so it needs to be in " ", but else yeah.

[covert mason]

It still doesn't seem to be rolling the feature after rolling a 6 on the fire damage
I'm not sure why

[vast bane]

are you using manual rolls for it?

[covert mason]

Fast rolls from midiQoL

[vast bane]

so you roll till you see the 6?

[covert mason]

Yup

After rolling the 6, it doesn't seem to trigger the eruption feature.

[short aurora]

That's not the uuid, that's the id

Right-click

[vast bane]

I think you are on an old advanced macros but thats not a problem just noticing it is all

[covert mason]

...OH

[covert mason]

const targetRolls = [6];
const results = args[0].damageRoll?.dice?.find(d=>d.flavor?.toLocaleLowerCase()==="fire")?.results.map(r=>r.result);
const res = results?.some(r=>targetRolls.includes(r));
if (results.includes(targetRolls)) await fromUuid("Compendium.world.magicitemeffects.cJW2jBaiHuYQsaMx").use()```
Hm. Still no luck. 😦

No errors either

[dark canopy]

you are checking if the results array contains an array with a single value of 6

the results array is an array of numbers

[covert mason]

Oh

I used it from this macro I had made by lonelybugbear

const targetRolls = [6,7,8];
const results = args[0].damageRoll?.dice?.find(d=>d.flavor?.toLocaleLowerCase()==="fire")?.results.map(r=>r.result);
const res = results?.some(r=>targetRolls.includes(r));```

[short aurora]

res is already the check you have, so you really just want if (res) in this case, then

[dark canopy]

sure, but you gotta fix it 😅

[covert mason]

[short aurora]

const targetRolls = [6];
const results = args[0].damageRoll?.dice?.find(d=>d.flavor?.toLocaleLowerCase()==="fire")?.results.map(r=>r.result);
const res = results?.some(r=>targetRolls.includes(r));
if (res) await fromUuid("Compendium.world.magicitemeffects.cJW2jBaiHuYQsaMx").use()```
I believe this should work, even if it is weird to check for 1 number with a list of them

[dark canopy]

....

results.includes(6)

[short aurora]

This way looks more fun

[dark canopy]

😆 cant argue there

[covert mason]

const results = args[0].damageRoll?.dice?.find(d=>d.flavor?.toLocaleLowerCase()==="fire")?.results.map(r=>r.result);
const res = results.includes(6);
console.log(results)
if (res) await fromUuid("Compendium.world.magicitemeffects.cJW2jBaiHuYQsaMx").use()```

Perhaps this might be easier

[dark canopy]

now log out results

[autumn lava]

Hello. I have a series of errors when casting Flaming Sphere from the sample compendium can i post them here for help?

[vast bane]

share the errors in the console

[covert mason]

Ah, there we go.

[autumn lava]

What is the console?

[vast bane]

f12 in the app and in a chromium browser, then choose the console tab(its technically called the dev tools)

[autumn lava]

I have screen captures of it, but it looks very hard to read i guess

[vast bane]

its like the matrix, we're used to reading them

[autumn lava]

ok 1 second

[covert mason]

Looks like it's picking up the 6.

Thought it's not rolling that eruption feature

[dark canopy]

now log out the item you retrieve before using it

(just step by step triage)

[covert mason]

Aye, thank you. This is a big help 😂

How would I format logging the item from the compendium?

[dark canopy]

first, retrieve it with fromUuid, awaiting as usual

then log it, then use it

[autumn lava]

pic 1
When i login, before i cast the spell i get these errors, right off the bat.

pic 2
When i cast flaming sphere i get these (before i place the flaming sphere actor. It is now in my mouse control)

Pic 3/4/5
When i place flaming sphere i get this error and flaming sphere does not function, but in effect tab it has it's effects on it.

[vast bane]

yeah I'm just gonna go ahead and blanket statement that nobody should use the midi sample item for flaming sphere

[covert mason]

const results = args[0].damageRoll?.dice?.find(d=>d.flavor?.toLocaleLowerCase()==="fire")?.results.map(r=>r.result);
const res = results.includes(6);
console.log(results)
const eruption = fromUuid("Compendium.world.magicitemeffects.cJW2jBaiHuYQsaMx")
console.log(eruption)
eruption.use()```
Like that?

[autumn lava]

What should they use then?

[dark canopy]

try it 🙂 there is a small error...mm...oversight

[vast bane]

make a new one or use core method of handling spells

although your problem is not related to mine

flaming sphere seems to set a flag on actors and then they are stuck burning every turn I can't shut it off

[covert mason]

Yeah.. I did that wrong, didn't I?

[vast bane]

your problem is probably related to unupdated modules if I had to guess

[dark canopy]

ish, you should away the fromUuid (as its async), but this says you are finding the correct item

[autumn lava]

I have updated everything and have created the actor called flaming sphere in actors

[dark canopy]

const eruption = await fromUuid("Compendium.world.magicitemeffects.cJW2jBaiHuYQsaMx")
console.log(eruption)
await eruption.use()

[autumn lava]

i can place it and it works great with lighting effects

Is this really the correct place to post bugs, this is just a textboard mess

[vast bane]

ok flaming sphere only breaks if you cast it outside of combat

it works fine if you cast it in combat

[covert mason]

There it is

[dark canopy]

usually the first step is the sanity checking you are doing now. if it gets resolved, great, otherwise, yes, a bug report may be needed

[covert mason]

So now it's finding both the roll and the item

[vast bane]

this is just how discord is

most of the midi sample items are mostly meant to show users how to make their own stuff, that sample is kinda old though

[dark canopy]

cool, now put your if statement back in (and log out res just for fun) and we have all the parts debugged

[vast bane]

what version of foundry, dnd5e, midiqol, and warpgate are you on?

[covert mason]

it's finding both the number and the feature in the log, but it's not using the feature

[autumn lava]

version 10 foundry. I have clicked update on addons

[vast bane]

go to manage modules and give me numbers of versions

[dark canopy]

and no errors in the log (make sure they arent filtered out)?

[vast bane]

we can't wing it when troubleshooting cause I don't see what you see, so I need to match what you have

[covert mason]

Hmm

[covert mason]

I am getting this one.

[dark canopy]

there ya go

the item has no actor to draw data from

[vast bane]

libwrapper showing up in a red message /gasp

[autumn lava]

I still get the error while in combat

will send versions now

[short aurora]

The sample item for Flaming Sphere is outdated. I think Moto might be using a fixed ddbi version?

[autumn lava]

oooh

thanks

[covert mason]

Hmm. Maybe this is why. It could be trying to read the strength and proficiency stats of a nonexistant actor for the feature's saves.

[vast bane]

it works fine cause its warpgate 😉 I'm using the midi sample item

as Badger would say, it works

[short aurora]

It does not work fine because the Warp Gate macro is wrong, the error is even from Warp Gate

[vast bane]

I'm using the right midi sample item lol

[autumn lava]

Yes. I get a pop up with warpgate error

[dark canopy]

read the error closely

[vast bane]

this is why I asked to see versions, they could have a different sample item

[dark canopy]

you are mutating an actor, but not providing enough information to create a new item -- likely you were trying to update an item, so double check the name/comparison key is correct for that embedded update

[vast bane]

I'm using the sample it works

[short aurora]

I'm on Midi 10.0.37, Flaming Sphere MQ10.0.13 + warpgate item, does not work

[short aurora]

Now that's interesting

[vast bane]

I'm on midi 37, dae 26, it works

[short aurora]

What's your item macro in that? The macro in this one is lacking a type

[vast bane]

you probably don't have an actor

[dark canopy]

the source macro is not necessarily the issue, its the world documents/embedded item data that is off

[short aurora]

The macro has an attempt to create one for you, that json import does not do well either

[vast bane]

mines working /shrug

[short aurora]

Is that a world carried over from v9?

[short aurora]

I just noticed the import the macro is trying to do is from v9, so if you had it all that time, guess that's why

[vast bane]

I got the item from the midi samples which has had like 39 versions since then and its on an actor I mad 8 days ago

[short aurora]

You made the Flaming Sphere actor 8 days ago?

[vast bane]

no I made the actor who cast it 8 days ago

the macro made the sphere

[vast bane]

do you have jb2a Hansi?

[autumn lava]

Yes

[short aurora]

Make an actor called Flaming Sphere, give it an action called Flaming Sphere Damage and see if that works as expected for you. I don't know how Moto got the macro to make his actor, because the import in it is wrong

[vast bane]

find its actor compendium and drag out a flaming sphere

turn it into an update to get past that error

this is identical to the early v10 spiritual weapon troubleshoot

[autumn lava]

I got an actor like that from the JB2A mod compendium. how do i turn it into an update?

[vast bane]

import the actor

so its in the sidebar already

then the macro will choose to update the existing "Flaming Sphere"

[short aurora]

Make sure it has an item called Flaming Sphere Damage in its' actions

[vast bane]

rename it

[autumn lava]

I just imported, changed name to "Flaming Sphere". Then i could use it

[vast bane]

rename the actor to "Flaming Sphere"

[autumn lava]

but you ar e telling me to do more than that?

[short aurora]

It needs an action called Flaming Sphere Damage in it, yes

[vast bane]

its probably going to need the item updated I guess too?

wouldn't it just make the item?

the error was just the creature type

[short aurora]

No, that's the error

[autumn lava]

Do i use make a spell called flaming sphere?

[short aurora]

The error is that it's a warp gate update to a feature that does not exist, so it should have been an add

Once you have an actor in the sidebar named Flaming Sphere with an item called Flaming Sphere Damage, you just use the same spell you tried to use the entire time

The Flaming Sphere mq10x + warpgate whatever named one

[autumn lava]

ok so drag flaming sphere MQ10x into it's sheet?

[short aurora]

Not the Flaming Sphere's sheet, the caster's

[autumn lava]

I already have that

[short aurora]

Then just use it and it should work

Cast the spell again

[vast bane]

heres a crazy idea....

why don't I just give them the actor?

[short aurora]

They're already done lol

[vast bane]

ok

[autumn lava]

But then i would have made no changed. I already had the actor called flaming sphere

changes*

[short aurora]

It needs an action on it called Flaming Sphere Damage

That's what was missing

[autumn lava]

It has it as an effect

will try

as action

[short aurora]

in here

in any of these

[vast bane]

download this file, right click on your flaming sphere actor in the sidebar and import data this file.

[autumn lava]

wait i think it works

[vast bane]

I'd be curious to know why my world runs it fine though

[autumn lava]

gonna relog and try again

YEEEES!"!!!

it works

fucking yes

[dark canopy]

because of this:

  "items": [
    {
      "_id": "O9ThymNjpRlq26u1",
      "name": "Flaming Sphere Damage",
      "type": "weapon",

[short aurora]

The import of the macro is a v9 that's lacking types, so I still don't quite believe the macro created that actor for you Moto

[autumn lava]

God damnnit, have the create add this to the readme file

[short aurora]

It must have existed before

[autumn lava]

creator*

[short aurora]

I'll make a MR to tposney with an updated json

[autumn lava]

does not do any damage to anyone though

[short aurora]

Or, well, maybe just make it more Warp Gate stuff

[dark canopy]

i'd just rewrite it to use a default actor and update everything through warpgate

dont need 90% of that json dump

[autumn lava]

Do i need to add damage to the action i added?

[vast bane]

this is the macro that created my actor from scratch:

I do have 2 flaming spheres in my sidebar but the other one shouldn't have any play here cause its not named the same:

[autumn lava]

Does your flaming sphere add damage to enemies after their ended turn?

enemies within 5 ft

[short aurora]

Do as Moto suggested before, grab this file #1010273821401555087 message and right-click import it over your current Flaming Sphere actor and re-cast the spell again

The Warp Gate macro doesn't have all the details needed for the attack, understandable if it thought it could import an actor

[vast bane]

if you cast outside of combat the effects never expire and are passive so make sure you find and kill them all lol

the item really should get redone I think

[autumn lava]

How do i import it? add the text file somewhere in data?

[short aurora]

Once you've downloaded the file, you can right-click the item in sidebar and click import, then you can find the file normally on your computer

[autumn lava]

aah, I have never tried that before. Thanks

I notice that when i place the sphere, no one is auto targeted. Is this the issue here?

Because it didn't work after import either

Flaming sphere effect is added to the "Flaming Sphere" actor i cast the spell, but it does not do anything

[vast bane]

it doesn't do anything because its also an active auras item 😉

[autumn lava]

ok

[vast bane]

Krig do you have active auras?

[autumn lava]

i have active auras

[short aurora]

They're supposed to be hurt by a Midi OverTime at the end of their turn

Does that not happen for you?

[autumn lava]

no

[vast bane]

are you in combat?

[autumn lava]

i am in combat and go though turns

[vast bane]

show me the map where it is

[autumn lava]

5 ft grid map setting

[vast bane]

is that actor in combat?

[autumn lava]

Yes

[vast bane]

lets see the actor

front page of that green image sheet

[vast bane]

effect tab of them

[autumn lava]

empty

[vast bane]

you don't have active auras or that map is not 5ft

[vast bane]

what version of active auras do you have?

[vast bane]

you didn't use my import did you?

[autumn lava]

never changed any settings

i did use your import

right click on flaming sphere MQ item and import data

then added it again to actor

delted the old one

deletedØ

[vast bane]

how many flaming sphere actors are in the sidebar now?

[autumn lava]

1

[vast bane]

did you change the images?

[autumn lava]

no it's the JB2L actor number 2

the cool one with effects

[vast bane]

do imports not mod default token guys?

or am I right in saying they didn't use my import?

[autumn lava]

i imported through the midi sample item actor Flaming Sphere MQ10.0.13

right click

import

[vast bane]

arggg

[short aurora]

That part shouldn't matter. 🤔 The ActiveAura burn effect thing wasn't what was erroring. What happens if you overlap the tokens?

[vast bane]

the actors dead

the flaming sphere has no hitpoints

can't transfer effects if you are dead

[autumn lava]

ok i try giving it health

!!

actor got effect

instantly

Working

[vast bane]

you didn't fix it yet though

[vast bane]

you only fixed that canvas actor

go to the sidebar and give the sidebar actor hp

[autumn lava]

it works now

[vast bane]

and while we're at it, change its creature type to NoTarget

you have to fix the source actor

otherwise the next casting will have the same problem

[autumn lava]

ok, how do i change it to notarget

[vast bane]

if you set its creature type to NoTarget it gets ignored by midi auto targetting

its one of those cogs that hide till you hover near it

[autumn lava]

Do i copy it into custom type?

[vast bane]

Its a hack of midi that lets you have a creature be ignored by most of midi's stuff

[autumn lava]

this is amazing. It even takes off the damage after turn. Everything just works now

[vast bane]

though I dunno if that actually works I was told it, but in practice I've not seen it work well lol

I really wanna know why my actor didn't throw the error lol, what version of warpgate are you two on?

I'm on 1.16.2

[dark canopy]

yours worked because you had the item on the actor warpgate needed

[vast bane]

my actor was created by the same macro as theirs

I never made my sphere

it was auto generated by the warpgate macro

my existing sphere was from my own premade sphere spell and was named differently

I got no errors in the console it just made it /shrug

I think I might know what did it

the bug with inventory+ where all newly made items are automatically weapons

[dark canopy]

that macro was creating actors with v9 data, so it doesnt surprise me something got left in the dust -- your's was created in v9 then migrated to v10, yea?

[vast bane]

my world is from v9 but the actor casting the spell was a v10 actor

I do see a few shims that fire when the spells cast

[dark canopy]

the caster doesnt matter, it was just the creation of the flaming sphere actor right at the top

at any rate, all of this should be rewritten and simplified 😅 , i think @short aurora is on the case, based on their "default actor" creation question

[vast bane]

the intial cast of flaming sphere had different warnings than the second cast of it

nah first time was cause I cast it outside of combat

I remember this exact troubleshoot in the opening weeks of v10 in midi here for spiritual weapon, I got so fed up with it that I made the v9 one compatible with v10 just so I could hand them that macro instead and tell them to yoink out the jb2a actor lol

the change between 9 and 10 for these two spells is that he added the making of an actor if none is found

[autumn lava]

How on earth do you know all this stuff, do you work for foundry or something?

[vast bane]

I have no life, and when you help folks constantly in here you just learn the common mistakes

the dead actor was actually another users problem that just clicked when I saw you hadn't used my actor

dead actors do not generate auras hehe

jb2a probably should put some hp on their actors though:

[autumn lava]

I have actually also had that issue before with spiritual weapon, Better write it down. Add health

but, this was just jeez

so many issues

[dark canopy]

since core doesnt automate/consider HP like this, its only an issue if your environment does -- so just ensure that the warpgate updates set a valid HP for your automation

[autumn lava]

Health was 0 -> change to 1
Creature type custom=Notarget*
Add update to Flaming Sphere actor
Change name to Flaming Sphere exactly
Add Flaming Sphere Damage to actions

[static sparrow]

NoTarget, not Notype 🙂

[autumn lava]

Double checked, i actually got it right in game. See i could never do this for a living

too many typing errors in this fat sausage fingers
*these

[static sparrow]

NoWorries!!

[autumn lava]

ok i made a post with the info on reddit for other people like me to use

https://old.reddit.com/r/FoundryVTT/comments/133z3px/flaming_sphere_active_aurasmidiqolwarpgate_errors/

[vast bane]

I've lost faith in the NoTarget thing I think it was in v9 but now in v10 stuff can still hit them sometimes

I think templates will miss them but aura like spells will hit them

or a manual target

[autumn lava]

I feel like all these functions should have been made by WOTC for their games already. They are seriously missing out of gamifying their great books

Guess they are just not as smart as the people making these mods are

[vast bane]

I don't really want the video game style play, if I wanted it I'd play baldur's gate 3, but here I am chuggin away with tabletop foundry instead

[autumn lava]

I feel the most important part is throwing the dice and deciding who get damaged and how much

my players got angry with me the first time we playing with foundry (last week) because i didn't know how to disable automatic saving throws

[vast bane]

the key is to get a request module and set them to that instead of auto roll

I prefer monks tokenbar

[autumn lava]

yeah, they will love it. I got LMRTFY

[vast bane]

but if the players take longer than 20 seconds to roll they get auto rollled

[autumn lava]

their shitty small laptop screens often hide the option to roll, so LMRTFY is a godsend

I play on an offshore multi-purpose supply ship in the north sea. I go into the panic room and hook up all the monitor to my PC and create the ultimate foundry setup.

[vast bane]

for the DM theres a key binding to ignore range limits

its unbound by default, what I do is I unbind th roll other key, which is O

and then bind the OVERRIDE to O

in configure controls

cause manually rolling other in midi isredundant

no need for that keybinding

then when a monster needs to make an op attack you can just hold down the O key and make it from afar

its DM only though

[autumn lava]

It won't change range for players casting/attacking on their own accounts?

[vast bane]

the override key only works for assistant and higher roles

you can also just shut off range checking but that will break a bunch of automations

like range checking for disadvantage on ranged weaponry

[autumn lava]

Wouldn't want that. My players love to cheat me in ranged weapons.

Actually one of them had to straight up admit he never added exhausting after losing frenzy on his barbarian. Turns up he just lied about it for 6 months, foundry found out.

He bought everyone free beers for that

[celest bluff]

I still blanket them in full resists just in case

[mint brook]

Entries from the same token are merging and the delete button in the top right is only on the first one. I think its midiqol doing it, but i dont know where in settings to change it. Either dont merge the entries or put the delete button on all of them

[scarlet gale]

That's not midi

[mint brook]

well that answers my question then

[scarlet gale]

Df chat I think?

[mint brook]

I have DF convenient effects and DF dropables

[scarlet gale]

Run find the culprit

[solid walrus]

What would be the correct midiqol flag to give +1 to all ability checks and saving throws? flags.midi-qol.max.ability.check.all is only the max, right?

[scarlet gale]

Easiest way to figure it out

[molten solar]

Don't need midi for that.

[tardy root]

What is the easiest way to go about setting up ongoing damage in an area? Is there a particular method with Active Auras that works well?

[molten solar]

system.bonuses.abilities.check
system.bonuses.abilities.save

(no module needed)

[covert mason]

Just an update to this. I've managed to get it working, but it uses the item directory instead of the compendium. However, I'd ideally like to have it use the item from the compendium, since I like to keep things neat and organized in them. Is there a way I can modify this to do that?

const eruptionData = game.items.getName("Eruption").toObject();
const pseudoItem = new Item.implementation(eruptionData, {parent: actor});
const results = args[0].damageRoll?.dice?.find(d=>d.flavor?.toLocaleLowerCase()==="fire")?.results.map(r=>r.result);
const res = results.includes(6);
if (res) await pseudoItem.use();```

[solid walrus]

@molten solar ty

[bronze peak]

Greetings,
Would someone be willing to help me set up midi-qol
I`m fairly new to foundry, as a GM, and started with a pre-made world to test some things
I have installed a bunch of useful modules and I am going an trying to set them up, but midi-qol is giving me some trouble
The attacks, should say if it hit or not someone, like if it passed their AC, but it is not working
I removed all modules and left only midi-qol to try and figure out some incompabilities, but it is still not working
I have tried to find some tutorials etc, but I might be doing something wrong, that is so basic, that is not in any tutorials.

I have, in the workflow settings enabled the auto check if attacks hit target, but it is not working

[bronze peak]

I found the issue, i needed to have DAE installed as well, but i only found the problem on a reddit thread.

[narrow saddle]

What does this replace in the original?

@vast bane

[violet meadow]

The same symbol. aoeTargets

[narrow saddle]

Thank you, but does it replace all of this?

const aoeTargets = await canvas.tokens.placeables.filter((placeable) => canvas.grid.measureDistance(target, placeable) <= 9.5 && !canvas.walls.checkCollision(new Ray(target.center, placeable.center), {mode: "any", type: "light"}) ).map((placeable) => placeable.document.uuid);

Or just up to the &&

[celest bluff]

What type of targeting are you looking to do?

[narrow saddle]

The AOE one when the knife hits or misses.

I have tried your version Crymic, but it also doesn't seem to do the AOE part of the spell either. 😦

Unless I am dong something wrong. 😕

[celest bluff]

latest build?

[narrow saddle]

Yeah the latest one.

[celest bluff]

i'll take a look

[narrow saddle]

Unfortunately I am off to bed now, but I will gladly test it again tomorrow. 🙂

[celest bluff]

what version of midi?

[narrow saddle]

10.0.37

[celest bluff]

looks like MidiQOL.ompleteItemUse is not respecting targetUuids or generated on target

[vast bane]

Active auras+midi overtime effects+advanced macros

[celest bluff]

something else broken probably

if I have it run strictly on the parent, it says the item doesn't exist

[vast bane]

pretty sure what bugbear gave me then worked but I haven't tested it since midi 35

[violet meadow]

All. Till the end of the declaration of aoeTargets.

[coarse mesa]

What would be the easiest way to have a d8 roll and then set an AE on targets with a duration equal to the number rolled in hours? Thinking about how to do Psychic Whispers 🤔

Is it full midi macro territory?

[vast bane]

does the duration take dice rolls?

[coarse mesa]

Not afaik

It would actually be a scale value dice, but baby steps

And it's the same duration for all targets

[vast bane]

1d(1d8*60*60)

as always, I point to my middle name

[gleaming echo]

Yes, once the player uses the feature he rolls a Psychic Die (from 1d6 to 1d8, depends on level), and that's the amount of time he can keep up the link.

[coarse mesa]

Yeah ideally we would see one roll in chat, then the AE gets applied to all the targets with that duration

[vast bane]

omg it works

[coarse mesa]

It would be an empty AE, just so we can keep track of who's got it going and how long left we have with VAE

[gleaming echo]

holly molly, did you input a formula on the time box?

[gleaming echo]

crazy

[coarse mesa]

Yeah but you'd end up with a different duration for each target?

[vast bane]

true

set the duration in effect macro

[gleaming echo]

Just do a macro

[vast bane]

origin.update

effect.update actually

origin would be the item, effect would be the ae on the actual actor easier to use effect macro with since permissions not an issue then

nope that won't work either jesus

I'd homebrew out the feature lol

[coarse mesa]

I could add it to Chris' ever expanding pile, but wondered if I could hack something together. I'm guessing an itemMacro could do it easily enough

[hasty jackal]

im having this issue

on a players character

[vast bane]

wall of workflows, I'm guessing a premade macro item?

[hasty jackal]

its a custom made one for some reason i copied the same feature to a player

and it worked

[vast bane]

what is the macro?

[hasty jackal]

doesnt have one lol....im checking and nothing is there

i created the ability from scratch

same issue

[vast bane]

what version of midi are you on?

[hasty jackal]

found the culprit for some reason this macro

let damageTotal = 0;
args[0].damageList.forEach((damagedToken) => {
damageTotal += damagedToken.appliedDamage;
});
if (damageTotal > 0) {
damageTotal = Math.floor(damageTotal/2);
await args[0].actor.applyTempHP(damageTotal);
};

[vast bane]

clearly it has a macro

[hasty jackal]

is causing errors

its a macro on an item

[vast bane]

is the item a premade item from a module and what version of midi are you on?

[hasty jackal]

latest one and its a macro that someone here did for an item that adds half damage to temp hp

[vast bane]

pretty certain the concensus right now is everyone should be on midi 37

[hasty jackal]

maybe the macro needs something else?

[vast bane]

nah you are on a broken midi

[gilded yacht]

Yes, introduced in 10.0.38 - rats. Fix in 10.0.39

[vast bane]

share me the item and I'll test for you on midi 37
