MidiQOL

[scarlet stump]

ah that should be enough, thanks

[vast bane]

If that doesn't work I can check in about 20 minutes for a solution otherwise but I'm hoping thats it

[scarlet stump]

thanks, it works now!

[oak mulch]

Question: Where should I go into the settings to apply one Active Effect automatically instead of having to press the "Apply Active Effects" in chat?
Also Is there a way to make one Effect to force a restriction on, let's say, player movement?
The thing is that I'm trying to cast Hold Person, but unless I press Apply Active Effects on chat it doesn't pop the status on enemy token, and even if that goes on the objective (a player) can still move with the condition.
I'm working with dfred, midi, and DAE.

[vast bane]

Clear these off the checklist first:

[opaque current]

It's in the Workflow tab

[oak mulch]

If those are modules, no one of those on

[vast bane]

I'm unaware of any way to lock movement in midiqol. You also shouldn't need to automate hold person, its available in midi sample items and midi srd.

[oak mulch]

yeah, that's what I'm using

[vast bane]

when you apply grappled and restrained with a properly setup dfreds CE, the drag ruler will alert the user to a red movement bar

[oak mulch]

but even if the AE on MIDI SRD restricts the movement, player still can move

[oak mulch]

that's not happening

[opaque current]

You can have it set their movement to 0, but it doesn't physically prevent movement

[vast bane]

show me the actors effect tab who has it on them

[vast bane]

oh...good point

edit the paralyzed and show us the effect tab

does paralyzed really not have a movement key in it?

[oak mulch]

I have checked that, and still not auto apply, and button is there

[vast bane]

can you send me your module list in a DM?

[vast bane]

also fyi that second drop down is bad, set it to ae before ce

change the second drop down to ae before ce

in the previous image

If you always get the button in chat with the setting you just showed us, you don't have late targetting enabled and are not targetting anyone. And if that is not the case, you got a module I told you to check for

[vast bane]

you aren't targetting anyone when you cast spells

[oak mulch]

which option should I go with

[vast bane]

that doesn't matter

you are seeing the button in chat because you have no target

[vast bane]

do you fast forward or do you like having the advantage/normal/disadvantage popout and crit/normal popout for damage?

[oak mulch]

I like having the advantage option

[vast bane]

you see both popouts during the attack workflow?

[oak mulch]

Yep, attack and damage

[vast bane]

go to workflow button, misc tab, and export your midi settings and keep them somewhere safe

Once you export them, import these

If those work then you had your settings too loose for automation. Work backwards from my settings undoing the things you don't like one at a time

though my settings are similar to yours.

Drag ruler should be red when that actor is paralyzed btw, it doesn't stop them from moving but the measure tool should be red to alert everyone they shouldn't be moving

[oak mulch]

Ok, i've loaded yours, but now it does not display chat message to apply active effects but it doesn't apply effects

Manually aplying paralyzed, ruler is red. But hold person does not apply it 🤔

I've sent you a Video on DM

[vast bane]

Very weird. Its not a problem for you, its a problem for tposney. I just confirmed now, infact midi 41 the button is no longer clearing, not sure if this is a new design choice, but either way the setting in specials is now misleading as midi never removes the button now.

[oak mulch]

SO the only way is to press that button in chat? Can't do automatically?

[vast bane]

oh shit I didn't even watch that part of your video

[oak mulch]

No worries ^^ You are helping so much, I don't complain at all ^^

And i've been taking a look at your settings and i'm gonna take those for me 🙂

So if at the end of the day i have to press the button on chat to apply the effect, and cant do automatically, it has been totally worth

[vast bane]

did you change the second..nm you have my settings

show me the spell hold persons, effect tab on the caster

edit the spell, effct tab, edit effect, show me the third tab of the effect

no you don't have to press apply active effect, its only there due to a bug, your spells aren't transferring and I suspect its because dfreds is bad/not setup

[vast bane]

press f12 and pull up the console and then cast the spell again and share any red errors here

[vast bane]

show me the specials section in workflow tab/workflow button, I assume you have my settings but lets just make sure

[oak mulch]

not sure if that's what you asked for

[vast bane]

click console at the top

[oak mulch]

gonna record it

[violet meadow]

I ll take a look tomorrow cause I am away till late tonight 😅

Thought the origin would take care of it

[vast bane]

You guys aren't gonna believe what the problem was for Lyss lol, its a good'n

Apparently Hold Person only works on persons

and I made them test against starter heroes who are not persons

I'm guessing midi srd's hold person has a better check for player character races? if not thats probably an issue

[violet meadow]

Persons you mean player characters?

Vs NPCs? Or something else?

[vast bane]

it failed to cast on the starter heroes, unless one of them is asatyr and Lyss picked that one, the midi samples activation condition doesn't pickup player character races.

[coarse mesa]

They’re not humanoids?

[opaque current]

Hold Person wouldn't work on ye mum, because she's not a humanoid

Burn

[vast bane]

either that or the activation condition on the midi sample is bad

[weak quest]

I suggested this https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol/-/issues/1235

[oak mulch]

I'm a bot, but Moto saved the day!

[violet meadow]

What's the activation condition of the midi sample? I am intrigued now

[short aurora]

The proper activation condition for that is a filter nightmare in dnd5e

[vast bane]

let me guess, every race?

[short aurora]

Yeah, I can't think of a better way that catches all edge cases - all of them being player related tbh, maybe just always affect players and reinforce anti-player bias™

[vast bane]

can the condition check for player character sheet?

My thought was to just not give monsters the player version

let dfreds CE apply

[static sparrow]

The “correct” thing is probably for the 5e system to give player characters a creature type.

[torpid kestrel]

I am using the midiqol house rule for disadvantage when shooting into combat. I have a feat which would remove this penalty. Does anyone know if there is a way to turn this penalty off for a given token without the player needing to manually turn on advantage to offset the disadvantage?

[opaque current]

Yeah they need an AE that flags them with flags.midi-qol.sharpShooter

Wait that actually is for ignoring range penalty

You need flags.midi-qol.ignoreNearbyFoes

[torpid kestrel]

I saw that, but I guess I assumed that was for shooting out of combat, not shooting into combat

[opaque current]

It's not so much about out or in - normally you get disadvantage on ranged attacks if an enemy is next to you, regardless of if you shoot someone nearby or far away

However if your scenario is for shooting into a melee, when the shooter is far away on their own, then IDK

[torpid kestrel]

fair enough

[vast bane]

what house rule in midi is that?

[opaque current]

But the 2nd flag I posted is the standard for "Crossbow Expert" and the like

[vast bane]

theres cover, I wasn't aware of disadvantage when your allies are engaged with stuff

ooooh ok I get the comment now

reading is fundamental man

[opaque current]

And yet, so hard

[vast bane]

For me what they typed sounded like the cover rules to me

[opaque current]

Well there is certainly flags for ignoring cover

[vast bane]

isn't there also a variant rule for shooting someone engaged with an ally?

[short aurora]

Midi has that house rule? I thought it only had what monkeyy wrote how to against

[torpid kestrel]

I was fairly pumped to see it, because it duplicated a house rule we've used with pnp for decades, but not being able to shut off the automation is troublesome

[vast bane]

I think I saw it in the dmg or something, I don't know how midi would implement it

[torpid kestrel]

yes in house rule section.

[vast bane]

I'm sure you can automate this in midi, we already do the opposite

[torpid kestrel]

Seems to work perfectly - just stuck on how to shut it off situationally

[opaque current]

This is the kind of stuff that personally I don't have automated, and do manually

[vast bane]

pack tactics is the opposite

if I'm taking about what you guys are atleast lol

[opaque current]

Yeah here it is in the readme (House Rule) Ranged attacks at foes with nearby allies have disadvantage If making a ranged attack at a target whose size is less than that specified and there is an ally within 5 feet of the target the ranged attack is made with disadvantage. (You want to avoid hitting your friends but really big targets can still be hit safely).

[torpid kestrel]

Was hoping there was a flag for that which I just hadn't found

BTW I really really like that rule

[vast bane]

I was thinkin of this house rule:

[opaque current]

Well if you ask tposney nicely he might add a flag for it.

[torpid kestrel]

🙂

[vast bane]

am I going crazy or what, I swear to god there was a published variant rule for disadvantage if an ally is within 5ft of a target

oh jeez, its an actual midi optional lol

Here I am digging through the books

[fast thistle]

Hi all! Using MidiQoL with 5e rules. For some reason when clicking on spell names like attached, no one, including DM, gets an expanded description of the spell on the chat card. Any ideas which settings in MidiQoL I can tweak to fix this?

[opaque current]

It's in the Workflow Settings in the Misc tab

[vast bane]

does it expand when you click thunderwave?

[fast thistle]

Nope, nothing happens on click.

[vast bane]

that image is triggering me though. How do you have advanced hide settings but all automation off?

monkeyy's setting is your solution

[fast thistle]

Yep, just found this as you also shared it. It looks like that worked (at least for any NEW cards posted, the old ones didn't change.)

[opaque current]

Indeed, no backdating.

[fast thistle]

Perfect, thanks so much!

[violet meadow]

@vast bane tposney has already taken care of that. Humanoid should at least have all the proper races included

If I remember correctly you can check that in the args inside conditionData

I will double check tomorrow that I ll have access again

[vast bane]

I asked him to test on a starter hero, he said it never applied the ae but he never showed me it so /shrug. I dunno which starter hero he used

Aoth is the only starter hero who can be hit by it

In theory Randall should have:

maybe a byproduct of the changes for v11

Randal didn't get it because the Activation condtion is looking for the exact match

[hot flower]

Is there a bookmarking bot on this server?

[dark canopy]

there is not

[hot flower]

gah. why this isn't a default feature of discord I don't know.

@vast bane you had a screenshot of your modules that you posted -- SOMEWHERE -- and now I can't find it again. Can you repost that when you get the chance.

please?

[vast bane]

I posted it in CPR

general discussion

I'd be roasted here

[hot flower]

found it!

thanks

between this thread and CPR's discussions, there's a lot to keep up with

[vast bane]

I'm really happy where my dm client and server are with performance, very reliable now and combat is not that bad either. I'm about to trim down cub and go anonymous and a world script prolly tomorrow too should improve performance a smidge as cub is a lot larger module than anonymous is

[hot flower]

i'd love to get that HP rollling worldscript if you don't mind.

[vast bane]

search in dnd5e for posts from aedif, its the last macro he posted

I haven't actually put it in my world

#dnd5e message

I think its basically just the tokenmold hook

[violet meadow]

Randal has Human in the race race whereas Aoth human

[hot flower]

awesome, thanks.

[proper siren]

Hey all, was trying to get this macro I found here working for Cleric's Balm of Peace, but it appears completeItemRoll is deprecated and completeItemUse is recommended but requires an additional argument for config. Can anyone assist with updating this macro with completeItemUse?

let areaSpellData = duplicate(this.item);
delete(areaSpellData.effects);
delete(areaSpellData.id);
delete(areaSpellData.flags['midi-qol'].onUseMacroName);
delete(areaSpellData.flags['midi-qol'].onUseMacroParts);
delete(areaSpellData.flags.itemacro);
areaSpellData.name = 'Balm of Peace - Healing';
areaSpellData.system.damage.parts = [['2d6[healing] + ' + this.actor.system.abilities.wis.mod, 'healing']];
areaSpellData.system.consume.amount = 0;
let areaSpell = new CONFIG.Item.documentClass(areaSpellData, {parent: this.actor});
for (let targetToken of this.targets.values()) {
    let options = {
        'showFullCard': false,
        'createWorkflow': true,
        'targetUuids': [targetToken.document.uuid],
        'configureDialog': false,
        'versatile': false,
        'consumeResource': false,
        'consumeSlot': false,
    };
    await MidiQOL.completeItemRoll(areaSpell, options);
}```

[vast bane]

CPR has balm of peace, its setup where you can select all the targets and then hit the button and it will do a roll for each target.

[proper siren]

Yeah I don't use cpr so was trying to find a way to do it without that

[violet meadow]

You can still use it

[proper siren]

Thanks, using completeItemRoll didn't seem to work though, is there anything else I'd need to do to update it appropriately?

[vast bane]

is there a reason why you don't use CPR?

[proper siren]

I tried it in the beginning and had some items that didn't seem to work. I started putting my own together and now I have most stuff covered so don't feel like I need the overhead

[vast bane]

what is the error with the macro then?

[proper siren]

The error is that completeItemRoll is deprecated

[vast bane]

thats not an error

thats just a warning for when foundry releases v12

[proper siren]

Ah, maybe I didn't apply it correctly then, I'll try it again

[vast bane]

I don't know for sure, but that kinda looks like my requested item from Chris that he then put into CPR

specially with all those this's

That item is meant for you to select all the targets in the peace clerics path and then just fire the item, it shouldn't have a heal or anything in it, it should just be an item macro on use with utility or other and no damage formulas or other formulas.

If its the one I'm thinking of it will then roll the item for each target

[vast bane]

Exactly like CPR's

[steady estuary]

I'm trying to reproduce the +2 bonus given by Fighting Style: Archery in a passive effect. Even applying this to an actor, the +2 bonus is not considered in the roll automatically. Am I doing something wrong?

[vast bane]

always always always lead with a + or -

[vast bane]

what does perso translate to in english?

[steady estuary]

Custom.

[vast bane]

Change it to whatever ADD would be

[steady estuary]

Also, i thought of that, but it shows like this in the roll formula:

And nothing is considered.

[vast bane]

and change the 2 to +2

[steady estuary]

+3 is from DEX and +2 is proficiency.

[vast bane]

are you sure thats not showing up?

what level is the actor?

[steady estuary]

Without ''+'':

Level 2.

[vast bane]

too many pluses is not a problem, it looks ugly but wait till you start stacking a bunch of non pluses

you will start to see +22

ADD is not +, its append

you have to lead with a + because theres no way of knowing which active effect gets slotted first, the rest won't have pluses added

[steady estuary]

While selecting add and +2 it goes like this and nothing is considered besides the DEX modifier and proficiency.

[steady estuary]

I checked, it's just ignored. :/

[vast bane]

that is not proficiency

what is the level of the actor

OR, what is the actors dex

[vast bane]

because either he has no dex mod, or he has no prof

[steady estuary]

17 DEX.

[vast bane]

dex and prof are always before the double ++

[steady estuary]

Level 2, +2 prof. bonus.

[vast bane]

hes not proficient in the weapon

bad importer or you forgot to set proficiencies

[steady estuary]

You are right.

I don't get it, he is a ranger, was supposed to. I thought that by setting the proficiency on the front page it would detect longbow automatically.

[vast bane]

how did he get the weapon?

is it the roll20 importer?

[steady estuary]

It's vanilla, from the DnD5e compedium.

[vast bane]

did he have the weapon before the profs got changed?

[steady estuary]

Unless the player changed it by mistake?

[vast bane]

dnd5e reads the sheet on item drop

but doesn't update it after that

[steady estuary]

Maybe i added it on the sheet before setting the profs? Can be.

[vast bane]

yeah to prof it, just check the box on the bow

[steady estuary]

In any case you were right, that explains everything.

Just did

[vast bane]

FYI, its technically not raw what you did. That will cause darts and other dex ranged thrown items to also get the bonus

that feature is short and longbows only

but honestly....I never knitpick it in my campaigns

[steady estuary]

Yes. It's worth disabling it if he comes across another weapon type, but i don't think it will happen soon. It's worth the QoL.

Thanks Moto, you're always backing me up here. ❤️

[strong yew]

Yeah if you've already adapted it, would appreciate the share

Keep meaning to work on macro stuff but work is death

well, work at my dayjob I mean lol

[inland vortex]

Ok, I have Aid, Gift of Alacrity, and Bladesong all working now without using CE. Thanks for the help! I think I may have been on the wrong version of midi qol and updating it may have fixed Aid. That was te only thing I changed on that one. One way or the other, they are all working now. Except Gift of Alacrity does tend to give the same bonus for each use per casting. I noticed other people had that problem too.

[wooden herald]

Greetings, looking for some help with an item I imported from JSON, it contains an Item Macro, and I have the Item Macro and MidiQOL modules installed and active, but I cannot figure out how to activate the macro on this item successfully. I tried dragging to the Macro bar, but that gives me an error.

[short aurora]

If it's an item supposed to use the item macro, it should just run when you use the item normally. What error do you get?

[short aurora]

Looks like the item is trying to run a macro named Pacto and not (just) the item Macro, how does the item detail page look?

[wooden herald]

Not in front of my PC anymore. I appreciate the help and will reply later. Thanks!

[proper siren]

Hey completely forgot to reply to you, but you can do this with the following code as a rough example:

let tactor;
if (lastArg.tokenId) tactor = canvas.tokens.get(lastArg.tokenId).actor;
else tactor = game.actors.get(lastArg.actorId);
let originActor = await canvas.tokens.get(getProperty((tactor.flags), "midi-qol.enemiesAbound.tokenId"))?.actor;
const immunity = tactor.system.traits.ci.value.has("frightened");

if (args[0] === "on") {
await wait(2000);
    if (immunity === true) {
        ui.notifications.notify(`${tactor.name} is immune to Enemies Abound because it cannot be Frightened.`); 
        let conc = originActor.effects.find(i => (i.label) === "Concentrating");
        return await MidiQOL.socket().executeAsGM("removeEffects", { actorUuid: originActor.uuid, effects: [conc.id] });
    }}```

[short aurora]

Found the array, but the Activation Condition is ["human", "humanoid"].includes(raceOrType), so not accessing the array, unless tposney does some "hidden" evaluating somewhere. Also missing dragonborn and orc in the array, I'll probably pop that into an issue myself tho

[celest bluff]

You shouldn't need that long of an await just to see if it's immune or not. For concentrating yes.

usually around 1000 depending on server latency

[proper siren]

Yeah it was just for concentrating, I'll try with 1000 though thanks for the tip!

[celest bluff]

I would add the immunity a bit differently..
You can also add the immunity into the on clause.

if((args[0] === "on") && (immunity)){
// await then remove
} else if((args[0] === "on") && (!immunity)){
// else apply whatever else is needed
}

Or you can do

if(args[0] === "on"){
// add in what should be added normally
if(!immunity) return;
// add in the await and removal here
}

so if you wanted to add more to it

like jb2a effects or whatever

[proper siren]

awesome, will do. You can probably tell but I made this enemies abound macro based off your tashas hideous laughter.. fyi in your tashas you don't have a wait defined for the concentration check at the beginning

[celest bluff]

it probably needs to be rewritten anyway

[hasty jackal]

and what if is i one that macro but for "Frightful Presence" same effect

[proper siren]

Yeah that's just a part of the macro, but you could work in that piece to do what you need

[covert mason]

I'm using Effect Macro for this on effect creation, and on combat turn starting. How would I go about turning this into something that rolls to save against damage, or apply half on a save, instead of just applying a restrained effect?

let spellDC = actor.flags.world?.spell?.web?.dc;
if (!spellDC) return;
let save = await actor.rollAbilitySave('dex');
if (save.total < spellDC) {
    await game.dfreds.effectInterface.addEffect(
        {
            'effectName': 'Restrained',
            'uuid': actor.uuid,
            'origin': null,
            'overlay': false
        }
    );
}```

[vast bane]

isn't web a standard overtime?

[covert mason]

When entering on the first time on a turn or if it starts its turn there.

[vast bane]

oof, only module doing that is CPR and its heavy

[covert mason]

Overtime doesn't detect if a creature enters the template on its turn, and doesn't make the save

[vast bane]

I think you want template macro not effect macro though

[covert mason]

I'm trying to make an aura using AA, not a template. I'm trying to use the web macro as a basis for what I'm trying to achieve.

When a creature enters or starts its turn within 10 feet of the golem, it must succeed a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking [[/r 2d10]] fire damage on a failed save, or half on a success.

[vast bane]

active auras does not do on first enter. Spirit guardians in midi samples is an example of how to do it though, but midi does it in the item macro.

what creature is that?

If I had to make this myself, I'd throw a red token aura only I see on the golem and make a free action for fire damage

[wooden herald]

Here's the Details page.

[wooden herald]

One more....

[vast bane]

is the macro in the item macro?

Where is your macro?

[wooden herald]

I see a macro under "Item Macro" in the JSON file, I don't see a macro section in the GUI though.

[vast bane]

Well that item is meant to seek out a macro called "Pacto" in your macro directory

and the warning is telling you that you don't have that

did you export the actor from another world?

[wooden herald]

No, I was simply given the JSON file to import into an item.

[vast bane]

this is why its generally unwise to call world macros on items in midi as the item becomes connected to that world only

You need to contact whoever gave you that item import and get them to share the Pacto macro in their system macro folder

[wooden herald]

Got it. I'll reach out.

[vast bane]

Also I think midi's latest changes did something to macro.execute so the macro may need tweaks

[wooden herald]

This is in the JSON file:

Pretty sure that's the macro it wants to call, but it's not named "Pacto.

[short aurora]

That doesn't quite look like a proper macro for Midi, but you can always replace that effect value with macro.itemMacro and give that a go instead

I do expect it to behave a little oddly tying it to an effect without an on/off though

[vast bane]

no way that macro fires with midi's item macro

what is the feature?

I'lll look it up

[short aurora]

It looks like a macro to form your hexblade as a hexblade, I forget the feature name

[wooden herald]

Yes, it's the Pact of the Blade feature.

The idea was to allow the player to change the nature of their Pact weapon as per the rules.

[vast bane]

I don't really see a reason to automate this feature

[short aurora]

You got ItemMacro as a module, right?

[vast bane]

just slap magic on a non magic weapon and call it a day

[wooden herald]

Yes.

[short aurora]

Open that item's ItemMacro, copy paste it into a new script macro on the hotbar and run that

If that runs as expected, we can change it to run on the feature click instead, it's just the tying to an effect that's a bit odd

[wooden herald]

That doesn't cover Pact of the Blade. They can change the weapon to an array of different weapons with different abilities. Like a Sword, or a Halbard.

[vast bane]

is that really what they do though? Like warlocks just randomly choose a weapon? After they get a magic weapon they will always use that instead right?

[short aurora]

This macro demands a token's selected from the looks of it, too, or it was an ItemMacro and not a midi macro

[wooden herald]

No. 1) They are always proficient with the Pact weapon, 2) They can summon it, 3) They can take an action to change it to a different weapon. It's quite versatile in the right hands.

[vast bane]

yeah it was a macro polo macro

[wooden herald]

Yeah, just copy-pasting the macro into the hot bar, selecting a token and hitting execute doesn't work.

[vast bane]

its designed for that specific world

the pack key is probably off

its trying to point to a compendium where all the items were

[wooden herald]

Ahhh. Dang it.

[short aurora]

Copy paste the macro that you copied in here, put it like so;
```js
macro here
```

[vast bane]

what version are you in?

[short aurora]

It looks like it's copying the source SRD items from dnd5e

[vast bane]

why is item macro failing to show for them?

[static sparrow]

You don’t have ItemMacro put in as an onUse macro. Sorry if that’s already been discussed.

[vast bane]

I don't think Pacto was ever the item macro, I think this premade was two macros

[wooden herald]

Need to break this up into multiple posts. One sec.

[vast bane]

[short aurora]

Yeah, that's what I figured

[vast bane]

that would do it for why its not working

[short aurora]

From in Foundry, copy the ItemMacro from the item

[vast bane]

thats just it, there is no item macro thats why I asked for versions, he doesn't see it

I suspect they are on v9 foundry

and they took a v10 import

[wooden herald]

This is correct. I do not see an "item Macro" field in the GUI.

I am in v10.

[short aurora]

In this picture

At the top of the title bar that says Item Macro

[vast bane]

versions of foundry, dnd5e, item macro, midiqol

[short aurora]

Copy the contents of that for me

Please stop disregarding what they already posted lmao

[vast bane]

you are not me, he just said theres nothing in the actual item macro lol

[short aurora]

That is not what they said

They said they see no item macro field in the GUI

[wooden herald]

This is acurate.

[short aurora]

I copy pasted that picture from the pictures you sent

From the item itself, the feature, #1010273821401555087 message here

[wooden herald]

Ok, I am a dummy. I didn't see that.

[vast bane]

the real question is what were you pasting that into then 0_o

[short aurora]

's all good. If you copy paste that into a new script macro and run it, that runs just as expected, right?

[wooden herald]

I was copying direct from the JSON file I used to import the item. Here comes the nicely formatted text from the item. One sec.

[vast bane]

if you paste it into ah otbar button macro, change it to script, and select the warlock, it might run, but the premade looks like it was a dae user running a macro in an ae and also an itemacro as well

[wooden herald]

Yes, runnin git from the macro bar runs as expected now.

I need to create my compendium of weapons, but other than that it appears to work from there.

[short aurora]

I don't see any "off" part of this macro, maybe I'm just unfamiliar with Warpgate and they do a named mutation. Can you paste the macro here, too?

To me it looks like it will let you create infinite magical weapons

[vast bane]

its not the macro that runs in the dae

its a dae only user, probably ready set roller, and then theres a system macro that runs off the dae

[wooden herald]

I just got contacted by the guy I got it from. He confirms that it was DAE, and he's adjusted it for me. I need to try his update.

[vast bane]

just have them send you pacto macro

the dae is probably a warpgate or something

[static sparrow]

Warp Gate is certainly how I’d do Pact Weapon.

[vast bane]

yeah, its probably either a warpgate or an item update dae args on/off in whatever pacto was and apparently the itemacro was getting the base item from a compendium. I'm pretty certain its a ready set roller

[short aurora]

you hurt me when you say things like this

the macro has the word warpgate in the very last line we saw

how can you say probably

;_;

[vast bane]

you didn't see the macro we're talking about

the premade has 2 macros

we can't see the other one

[plain bane]

and just put the macro in the macro item and indicate no on use macro to work

[short aurora]

Are you on v9 baraki?

[vast bane]

are you on v9 foundry?

lol

[short aurora]

🚤

[plain bane]

v10

[marsh crescent]

jinx

[vast bane]

I think the breakage is in the datas, the filter is failing

[short aurora]

This works for you on v10?

}```

[plain bane]

I think I wasn't clear, the macro I put itrem macro and in the detail I point to the on use macro for it to call the item macro and it works normally

[vast bane]

are you a midi user by chance?

[plain bane]

yes

[vast bane]

they weren't ever using that macro then heh, pacto is what they use

its probably a v10 compliant args on/off warpgate

[plain bane]

yes

[vast bane]

or pacto is an args off warpgate dismiss function

[short aurora]

I'm calling kap

[vast bane]

I'm pretty certain they never touched that item macro, it was probably just there from before they installed midiqol lol

when they roll the item the dae applies to the actor and "Pacto" is what they see come out of the item roll instead of that itemacro

[plain bane]

this macro was fixed today by @molten solar, he posted it in macros#macro-polo message

[plain bane]

so I already let them know to remove the effect of the DAE, which is what is generating the error for them

[vast bane]

Its not though, your item macro is designed for non midi users it would never run in midi. It can run as a hotbar macro if you edit it and change it to v10 stuff

[wooden herald]

So strange. I'm trying to follow along, but I fear I know so little of how macros work in Foundry that I am totally lost... And I'm a Network Engineer with a background in coding and database management!

[vast bane]

past krigs macro into a hotbar button, and use it there

[plain bane]

i am using mine direct on item

[wooden herald]

That works 100% perfectly.

[vast bane]

you have character sheet hooks on in midiqol Item Macro:

you may have a functional pact of the blade but you are blocking on use macros in the rest of midiqol

[plain bane]

I have no idea the midi just mecho where it automates anything else

[plain bane]

you want to come in and look, I can give you authorization there you can see

[vast bane]

that macro is not the same macro we were given

[plain bane]

and the same one I posted

[vast bane]

those are both snippets of your posts

[plain bane]

I think that when copying and pasting I got it wrong, sorry for the confusion

I will post the file of the item

there you can see better

[frail osprey]

what we doing?

[plain bane]

just follow the macro

[vast bane]

@wooden herald paste this macro above directly into item macro, then at the bottom of pact items details, hit the plus symbol to add an on use macro and type in ItemMacro and choose after active effects

Make it look like this:

oops

forgot to capitalize the Macro in ItemMacro, edited now

[wooden herald]

Well, that freaking works!!!

Out of curiosity for completeness.... Is there any way to get it to "clean up" previous Pact Weapons it makes?

Since you can only have 1 at a time.

[vast bane]

thats why I really strongly believed the dae was what was being used, typically you want this to be a dae on/off warpgate

would be args on> your macro, and then args off > dismiss it

[wooden herald]

Ah

[vast bane]

and then the on use macro would be cleared and instead you roriginal item setup, a dae that runs macro.itemmacro

[wooden herald]

For now I think I'm happy enough allowing my player to manage cleaning up her inventory.

[vast bane]

(instead of execute)

you should see a dismiss button on the top bar while they have the pact weapon

if the user or you click that, it should delete the item

[wooden herald]

I only vaguely understood that, but enough to grasp the concept.

[vast bane]

Well...I didn't look at the new macro but I assume its a warpgate mutate?

whe you use it, do you see a dismiss button on the actors top bar?

or whatever the undo is called for mutates, I think its dismiss

[wooden herald]

No dismiss.

[vast bane]

Would you be interested in a solution to the oddball font looks of your windows desktop? I happen to notice you have really bad tearing in the edges of your fonts, its a windows setting doing that to you

[plain bane]

any help is welcome

[vast bane]

trying to find it, windows versions are so annoying when they move things around

[plain bane]

but exactly what was noticed by you?

[vast bane]

that medkit icon is destroyed by lack of font smoothing.

click the startmenu, type advanced into the search and then you should see advanced system settings as an option to pick in the search.

[plain bane]

ok

[vast bane]

it will improve how fonts look but also it will change the icons in foundry so they look a lil more...detailed

If you are worried about performance that checkbox won't really affect you at all

[plain bane]

thanks for the help there, grateful

If you're curious in what we added, it's the last 5 lines I changed, grabbed "does this have a mutation named Hexblade" check, if yes remove that then apply a new one, and named our mutation with Warpgate so it'd pick up on it

[wooden herald]

Thank you so much. I’ll test this when I get in front of my PC again!

[dark canopy]

very neat

[short aurora]

All of the Warpgate stuff is yours, so I hope so. 😄 By the way, is there an option to have mutates "overwrite" mutations of a same name? So instead of writing out the code to revert to achieve the above, I could put in a parameter and it'd revert the existing mutation before applying a new one?

[dark canopy]

hmm, not off the top of my head, but...check the return value of revert -- i think i send back undefined if no revert occurs, and something else if it does

[wooden herald]

Getting an error with the new macro:
From the console:

di-qol |  Error evaluating macro  SyntaxError: Identifier 'item' has already been declared

[inland vortex]

We're using the midi qol version of Absorb Elements, the one that says 10.0.10, and when we use it it offers what type of damage we want to be resistant to. Whatever we pick, we get fire resistance. I don't know if it's always been this way, as we had been fighting red dragons. But tonight there was acid and cold damage, and we got fire resistance anyway.

[short aurora]

Edited it, copy paste it again.

[wooden herald]

Interestingly now it no longer creates the item.

[short aurora]

Without an error? It's working just fine here

Until you do.

Because it's working 100%

🥳

[short aurora]

🥳 good stuff

[wooden herald]

Bedtime now. :🛏️:

FYI: You should pin this. This was a VERY common request on how-to for a long time.

[dark canopy]

i think i might just yoink it for the warpgate wiki 🙂 i like the reading from the base items. @short aurora if you dont mind

[short aurora]

Go for it for my sake, it's like 3 or 4 different macros Frankenstein'd together

[vast bane]

are there any errors I recently tested this and didn't see a problem

Working fine on our end, I'd confirm yourself if its failing, the player probably fat fingered the choices

the attached damage also is staying the picked choice:

Make sure you are on the newest midi and dae

[inland vortex]

i'll update them and see if it fixes

[inland vortex]

i'm on the newest midi and dae. when i look at the effect written in the spell it only has code for resist fire in it, unless I am understanding the spell writing incorrectly

[vast bane]

the item macro/on use macro does all the work

[opaque current]

Thats the default, a macro runs to change it when cast

[vast bane]

oh

I think I know whats wrong

[inland vortex]

everything is unchecked in Item Macro

[vast bane]

then the item was not rolled by midiqol

have you confirmed this problem yourself by testing the spell on the actor?

cause this could also just be user error, they chose fire

[vast bane]

Heres the last midi related setting that could be interfering, mirror my settings:

Otherwise, you are using another roller, or the player has roll automation off in their client in midiqol(only they can check this)

These buttons will also cause on use macros not to fire which would be a user error scenario:

[inland vortex]

I have my settings like yours, I'm not using any of the forbidden modules on that list, and i did try using the spell myself extensively on 3 characters. Same results

Fire res every time

[violet meadow]

What's the issue?

Absorb elements? Do you have the apply DFreds CE first maybe?

[inland vortex]

When we use Absorb Elements it always gives fire resistance no matter what we ask for

No, it's CE only if the other thing isn't there

[violet meadow]

Any errors in console when you fire the Reaction?

[inland vortex]

i'll look

[vast bane]

also when you are done with bugbear, can you show us the attacks in chat?

when you show us the attacks, mouse over the casters token in the DM damage dialog card so it shows the resistance in a tooltip like I did above

[violet meadow]

Also have you changed the item name from Absorb Elements 10.0.10 to Absorb Elements ?

[vast bane]

I cannot believe I didn't catch this

I'm handing in my helper card

[vast bane]

its not renamed is it?

You have to rename it for it to work:

[inland vortex]

no

[vast bane]

I had renamed mine, I tested from a players sheet

[inland vortex]

lemme try that

[violet meadow]

yes that error is the name issue

[inland vortex]

And that, of course, solved everything

So rename all spells that have extra bits like that in the title?

[vast bane]

@violet meadow While I got you:
If the target is within 5 feet of any of the angel’s allies, the target takes an extra 2 (1d4) radiant damage.

target.findNearby(-1, targetUuid, 5, {}).length > 1

[vast bane]

the real answer to your question is always read the descriptions of midi sample items fully through 😉

[inland vortex]

lol. will do, boss!

[vast bane]

I'm plagerizing from the pack tactics and its always rolling the d4 but I think its cause I am confused on how to setup the details of the weapon

[violet meadow]

Activation condition for that?
findNearby(-1, targetUuid, 5, {}).length > 1
and then Other Formula 1d4[radiant] should do it

[inland vortex]

i'll make sure i do that before asking you why the paladin's aura of protection is helping the saves of nearby monsters clearly marked hostile, even though it doesn't put the effect icon on them

[vast bane]

Is it because I checked the also roll other? I thought that was required but I guess its stepping on things:

[violet meadow]

Mostly is because of the target.findNearby... 😄

yeet the target

[vast bane]

oh I thought you had to define the target in activation conditions mb

[violet meadow]

findNearby gets some special handling

You indicate the center of the measurement using the targetUuid

instead of tokenUuid which would mean the attacking actor in this case

[vast bane]

k, its working now, unchecked also roll other too

noticed the item was set to reach for some reason, I think thats a typo in dndbeyond

[violet meadow]

You might need the Crit Other though

[violet meadow]

ah true, no idea though why that could be 🤷

[vast bane]

does midi even do anything with the reach property?

[violet meadow]

let me check

[vast bane]

I bet you the importer parses the descriptions and picked up the 5 feet in the description and false flagged it for reach

oh shit no, it really is a reach weapon lol

wtf lol

a redundant reach

or does reach 5ft mean 10....now its got me confused

oh, apparently this is probably a problem with all dnd beyond importer monsters, but since reach doesn't do anything its ok.

it takes the description word for word, and on the statblocks it defines the reach on everything

[violet meadow]

I don't seem to find any mention of rch property in the Midi code, so I don't think there's any special handling

[vast bane]

k, I just looked at the other sources of monsters and its just the importer monsters that do this, its probably a non issue till reach starts getting automated by something.

the srd monsters list reach in them too but they don't check the box for reach

Either way I'm all set thanks!

[rotund mountain]

Does any one know of an active effect or a midi flag that can cause an effect to trigger when an actor is healed? My goal is to have an actor gain a bonus on attack rolls for one round after being healed

I've tried looking around (mostly at beacon of hope automations as it is vaguely similiar), but to no avail. I looked in to hooks a bit,but macro polo suggested I ask here as there isn't a "on heal" hook

[opaque current]

Does it happen to anyone a specific caster heals, or is it a thing for a certain character who receives healing

[vast bane]

world script territory

unless its part of a heal item then its as simple as adding an ae to it

[opaque current]

I would go low tech and just give the receiver a Healing Boon feat. When they receive healing they click it, triggering the 1 round buff.

[vast bane]

heh, give them a reaction targetted

[rotund mountain]

Yeah is this my current solution, I was just hoping to automate it (my table loves automation lol)

[opaque current]

It's more automation than having to manually add in the boons to their attacks lol.

[rotund mountain]

It is an effect that an item gives to a character that is attuned to it. So only one character (the one with the item) would get the buff when healed

[vast bane]

a free reaction on isdamaged, can even filter for damage type I think now

[opaque current]

I don't use the reaction automation since I find it bogs down combat, but also sounds like it's expanded since I last looked

[vast bane]

I put a sound hook on the reaction prompt so the whole table yells at the user whose not paying attention and only have a 10 second time out for the prompt

[violet meadow]

is that once per day or something?

[vast bane]

I'd share the hook but my server just decided to go into its maintenance and I'm bored at work, someone post a problem with midi

[violet meadow]

Hey MidiQOL is no longer bringing me coffee in the morning. How come?

[violet meadow]

with or without ?! 😅

[short aurora]

I mean if you're offering, I could use some automation for my storm sorcerer player so she can swoop around but preferably with all 99 edge cases of flying 10 feet covered and with animation

[vast bane]

My big wishlist item to make currently is a pudge hook ability like from dota2

[rotund mountain]

Whenever they regain hitpoints

[violet meadow]

which edge cases? 🤔

[rotund mountain]

So something like absorb elements could have a macro already made that could be adapted.... interesting I will look into that after work

[violet meadow]

OK so what would that bonus be?

[vast bane]

I'd use shield, absorb elements has an item macro that will get in the way

[rotund mountain]

The bless effect ideally, + 1d4 on attack rolls and saving throws

[vast bane]

( 🤓 bless doesn't do ability checks)

[rotund mountain]

Oh lmao

[rotund mountain]

I'll check out shield then after work 🙂 d

[vast bane]

Your item is right up the alley of a fun new automation, I suspect bugbears fiddling atm with it

situational reactions

[rotund mountain]

That would be excellent ! (And much appreciated 🙂 )

[edgy pagoda]

Please help with two things:

1. How to correctly specify the number of uses of the Optional Bonus Effects effect?
   Option flags.midi-qol.Optional.1.attack.all - doesn't work.
2. Can't make a critical hit effect on Assassinate (rogue).

[violet meadow]

Try this.

1. Drag the Item on the sidebar and delete the one from the actor's inventory.

2. Create a DAE on the item which should have in:
   a. Details tab: Transfer to actor on item equip checked,
   b. Effects tab: macro.itemMacro | Custom |

3. Copy paste the macro in the ItemMacro of the item and CHANGE the itemName in the first line of it to match the name of the Item,

4. Drag the item back onto the character sheet and equip (and attune to, if needed) the item

5. (optional) let me know if it works correctly 😄

[fluid cradle]

Is there anything in dae + midi, that would check if the ability still has uses and if it does, whenever you roll any skill check, you can add a d6 or not, similar to bardic? (Im looking at Knowledge from a Past Life)

[vast bane]

Search the midi readme for optional.name

and it is precisely what bardic inspiration does

[fluid cradle]

Yeah, but for example: lets say you can use the thing 3 times per long rest, if you decide to roll, would it automatically decrease the usages to 2 or would i need a macro for that?

[vast bane]

read the readme section on that feature, its all right there, the answer is yes

[frail osprey]

for learning, can I use args onUpdateActor to trigger a macro whenever something in the actor is changed? similar to how a hook would work?

[cinder tapir]

Any way to specify a % of dr?

[violet meadow]

It is an updateActor hook essentially

It monitors for whatever is set in ```js
key: 'flags.dae.onUpdateTarget',value: ${itemName},ItemMacro.Item.${item.id},system.attributes.hp.value,mode: 0}

like `system.attributes.hp.value` in this case

[opaque current]

DR is usually a set number of damage reduction

You could give them healing resistance? I guess?

[cinder tapir]

What key is that?

For healing resistance

[violet meadow]

dr instead of DR and then use the autocomplete for the right one

[frail osprey]

that's noice. Is there somewhere I can check all the args passed?

[cinder tapir]

This is all I can see

[violet meadow]

and then choose Custom | Healing

[opaque current]

beat me

[cinder tapir]

Thank u

[violet meadow]

go to https://gitlab.com/tposney/dae/-/tree/v10
search for onUpdateTarget and then expand the Special flags.dae...

It mentions the set lastArg that the macro is called with

[frail osprey]

Thank you! 😄

I suppose I can't have macro.ItemMacro pass args as well if I use this, right?

or it makes no difference?

[violet meadow]

What I am doing in this one, is to have a way to share the macro easier.
You can create the flags in the DAE directly easily, alongside the macro.itemMacro you want

The shared one does this.

The Item has a macro.itemMacro by default on it.
When you attune and equip to it, that becomes a flags.dae.onUpdateTarget.

When you break attunement of unequip, it changes back to macro.itemMacro

You can omit this step entirely. It all depends on what you want to do.

you can also pass extra arguments to the flags.dae.onUpdateTarget as ```js
key: 'flags.dae.onUpdateTarget',value: ${itemName},ItemMacro.Item.${item.id},system.attributes.hp.value,@attributes.spelldc,"wis",mode: 0}

and then get them inside the macro

In this case args[1] would be @attributes.spelldc
args[2] would be "wis" etc

[frail osprey]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm that's veeery interesting

so I could, for example, pass spell slots and have macro trigger whenever they are updated (a spell is cast)

[violet meadow]

That would be better served as an Actor onUse midiqol macro

if (args.item.type === "spell") { /*do stuff */ }

//args.item as of the latest MidiQOL versions

[frail osprey]

true, it's cos I have a lot of homebrew conditions I use on my game. One of them makes all spells cast by the affected player cost 2 spell slots instead of one.

wrote a macro for it using hooks and world script, but was looking for a simpler way to do it

[violet meadow]

that hurts 😛

I meant the double the spell slots for the player

[vast bane]

The wiki has the explanation of DR and dr

I had a genius idea today while on lunch

everyones always asking how to make a creature immune to a specific custom active effect

and I think I got it and its ridiculous

[frail osprey]

lets say I'm known to be a harsh DM 😆

[vast bane]

Give them a suspended effect by the same name

[frail osprey]

harsh in a way that my challenges are hard, not that I'm rude or rule enforcer on players

[frail osprey]

that's... really genius

[vast bane]

If it has to be the same status id, then precast/preapply the actual same active effect on them and then suspend it

I think you need to change the default from stack by origin to stack by name though

[frail osprey]

but aren't dfreds all configured as "non-stackable by origin"? Would it work?

[vast bane]

which imo the default should be name

[frail osprey]

ah, you were faster than me

[vast bane]

What module gives us the stacking? Dfreds or DAE?

[frail osprey]

I've been using both for so long that I don't even know

[vast bane]

I mean cue, Zhell pointing out none of us ever know whats core or midi lol

[frail osprey]

to be honest, I don't even know what's core anymore. Another day I was asking Zhell's help on macro-polo thinking what I was asking was core, but it was midi

and I got hit with the chair

yup, just tested it, and it doesn't work with dfreds effects. Created a Blinded suspended effect and tried applying Blinded on the actor.

but I'm wondering now why "do not stack by name" isn't the standard

[vast bane]

Fwiw, you can change them

and it is indeed working perfectly when set to name

I wonder if he could give us a setting to change the default stack setting in dfreds

that way we don't have to duplicate everything

[violet meadow]

Stacking is DAE

[vast bane]

Can anyone see a point to origin instead of name by default?

[dark canopy]

conservative defaults, i would imagine

[vast bane]

Its technically all a janky solution so I doubt its worth a request to change a default setting. I'm abusing midi's ignorance of suspended effects to pull off a custom immunity. Its still totally possible manually though just gotta find the players sources of the effects and set them to name instead of origin.

[fringe brook]

How can I make every potion heal for x times hitdice instead of x times d4?

Example: Potion of healing heals a barbarian for 2d12 + 2
heals a wizard for 2d6+2

[vast bane]

Macro territory, I don't think there is a value you can reference for the size of the die.

[fringe brook]

would you kindly help me make an item macro that heals for x times hitdice? How to I reference the hitdice of the actor that uses the item?

[vast bane]

I don't know how to make it sadly I know half the things required to do so

[fringe brook]

alright, thanks tho 🙂

[vast bane]

whoever does make it I think wants what I just found though

you need to define that value in the actor data as a const, and then reference it in the dice equation for the MidiQOL.applyTokenDamage function. You could search for this here and see other macros using that function

[fringe brook]

will do

[vast bane]

and since its a potion you need to define the actor/target too

[violet meadow]

What about multi classed ones? Higher HD?

[fringe brook]

interesting question, I didnt consider this... probably higher HD?

or whatever the base class is? 🤔

[violet meadow]

you tell me what you decide 😅

[vast bane]

highest available, man that macro just got harder

(softban multiclassing lawl)

[fringe brook]

i am thinking of removing that homebrew rule

seems like too much efford to me now

[vast bane]

he sounds like hes making your macro so just make the decision and he'll put it in

[fringe brook]

my players mostly hord their items anyways

[vast bane]

bugbear thinks in binary, he's probably got your macro waiting for the input

[fringe brook]

😮 ok

then I would like the highest hitdice available

[vast bane]

Man Fey Ancestry is messed up with monsters of the multiverse

I dunno how to handle it with the wiki, theres two different versions and we actually have two automations of it too

midiqol does the old fey ancestry and CPR does the new version

[scarlet gale]

They're different?

[vast bane]

the old one combined trance and fey ancestry I think

midiqol's sample does the trance half but is called Fey Ancestry

[scarlet gale]

How does it do trance?

[vast bane]

condition immunity

[scarlet gale]

That's just not sleeping

[scarlet gale]

I would not do that like that lol

What happens when they hit 0 health?

[vast bane]

they have zero health

[scarlet gale]

They can still go unconscious

[vast bane]

they still go prone, theres no real difference mechanically

once you are zero hp combat attacks behave differently anyway

[scarlet gale]

Most sleep automations just look for the fey ancestry or elf race

So, doing it this way seems silly

[vast bane]

oh shit yeah, that is a bad one

well...

only the strength/dex save thing would be missing

oh actually no

[scarlet gale]

Huh

[vast bane]

thanks to statusEffect this doesn't matter

the zero hp elf gets unconscious through prone

cause it all combines

[scarlet gale]

Or you can just not use this jank

[vast bane]

true

but I'm not the arbiter of levels of automation, technically it still counts just by adding the language heh

I think I will denote old and new fey ancestry

[scarlet gale]

Adding a language hardly an automation

[vast bane]

I'm working on the race checklist for the wiki

yeah but not everyone plays at our automation level

[scarlet gale]

Plus what if they're using Tasha's?

[vast bane]

Basically is it setup for effect transfer and/or add something to the sheet automatically.

or does it follow midi's target/range setting shennanigans

(or does it have midi checkboxes checked on the details)

I am pondering using 2 checkmarks one for partial automation and one for thorough automation though.

Powerful build is an easy automation that nobody has done.

then again its probably best not to use an ae for this

[dark canopy]

here?

[vast bane]

Yeah ddbi adds it, but I was pondering just doing the flag for it in an ae for a premade item like powerful build

[dark canopy]

a bit overkill, but doable

[vast bane]

yeah I'm working on the wiki today

so I'm working on race feature automations available from the 6 main modules/sources

[scarlet gale]

An ae for every trait seems like a needless waste of performance

[vast bane]

yeah

DDBI just adds it during the import instead of using an ae

[scarlet gale]

There is a reason ddbi doesn't do it that way

[dark canopy]

it would be extremely easy to flag actor data changes on an item and apply them on create

[vast bane]

yeah I was pondering an effect macro on create

[scarlet gale]

Why

[vast bane]

oh good point I guess its still an ae lol

[dark canopy]

just item flag data, and a small worldscript to hook on create of an embedded doc

add data from item

done

[vast bane]

cut me some slack my eyes are seeing the grid overlay of my spreadsheet still reading discord chat

[scarlet gale]

Or just check it once, generally speaking player races don't change

[vast bane]

yeah true, but I still have to include it in the list as not automated by anyone

[violet meadow]

Janky way. MidiQOL item on use on the healing potion
ItemMacro | Before damage is rolled

const { hitTargets, workflow:{item:itemD} } = args[0];
const healingDefault = duplicate(itemD.system.damage.parts);
let healingDface;
const hitActor = hitTargets[0].actor;
if (hitActor.type === 'character') healingDface = Math.max(...Object.entries(hitTargets[0].actor.getRollData().classes).map(t=>t[1].hitDice.at(1)));
else healingDface = hitActor.getRollData().attributes.hp.formula.split('d')[1].at(0)
healingDefault[0][0] = healingDefault[0][0].replace(healingDefault[0][0].split('d')[1].at(0), healingDface);
await itemD.update({"system.damage.parts":healingDefault})

Oh nope it will fail for d12... will fix when I am back at a PC

[scarlet gale]

Because it's in core

[vast bane]

I do plan on going back through and X'ing out anything that shouldn't be automated

[scarlet gale]

Make a mark for core feature honestly

[vast bane]

wonder if a module could do what midi does with magic resistance

if a feature exists that is called powerful build, add the flag

but...only cause I've seen it now, its not always called powerful build

Centaur has a feature that is exactly like powerful build but is called Equine Build

[dark canopy]

matching by name is a losing game

[vast bane]

yeah

[honest wave]

Yo, what would be the right Attribute Key for an Effect to give advantage on a saving throw?

[fallen token]

flags.midi-qol.advantage.ability.save.str for Strength

[honest wave]

I need it for any/all saving throws

If thats possible, or do I need to do it individually

nvm

flags.midi-qol.advantage.ability.save.all

Thanks mate.

Been a while since I played around with effects.

[vast bane]

are you making Magic Resistance?

[honest wave]

No, creating a subclass feature for a 3rd party Pally Oath

[vast bane]

ok, was gonna warn you that you don't make magic resistance that way. For Magic Resistance midi has a special flag but 99% of the time all you need is an item called "Magic Resistance" in the inventory of an actor for magic resistance to work.

[honest wave]

Alright yeah thanks, good to know

[vast bane]

the flag for magic resistance is meant for the rare times magic resistance is a temporary effect otherwise you can just rely on the auto detect of the item

One of my longest oldest reliable automations has started to fail in midi 41 and am unsure how to fix it.

Divine Sense:

[edgy pagoda]

Please help me make a status that gives a bonus to damage once per turn.
I tried using flags.midi-qol.optional.NAME.damage.all attribute but after using bonus the status disappears regardless of what is specified instead of NAME.
I also tried to modify the Sneak Attack 10.0.33 macro, but I don't understand it and I couldn't set a fixed damage value that is not tied to accuracy and class.

[vast bane]

what are you trying to make? not foundry terms, dnd5e terms, is it published? whats its name?

[edgy pagoda]

I'm trying to add an NPC damage bonus applied once per turn.

I tried using every, turn as the `NAME' and entered the number of uses. All these options worked the same way: When an attack was made, a window with a request was displayed, and the status with the effect disappeared after that.

[vast bane]

can you show me the active effect's effect tab on the feature you made the optional.NAME's in. I suspect you made the mistake of actually using optional.NAME

[vast bane]

yeah you misread the readme, let me show you a sample so you are set right

[vast bane]

I feel like theres a mistake in this premade....that last add is sus

[scarlet gale]

Looks like it's potentially a bug in midi

[vast bane]

also fyi, this is a bad example cause the very key you want isn't shown lol

[vast bane]

oh god no, I need midi 41 to be safe lol

We gotta get it to tposney quickly cause I think he's sitting on 42 ready to drop soon

[scarlet gale]

Could also be bad things being sent to the find nearby

[vast bane]

@scarlet gale You were right btw about missing documentation, just add .fail on the end to get them to prompt on fails only.

[vast bane]

I remember a changelog about find nearby...something about maxsize being removed or added...

I think you just nailed it now I need to find it, I think its midi 37

[scarlet gale]

Yea, might need to be looked at

[vast bane]

its mentioned in the changelog that its a breaking change

[scarlet gale]

Also, v9 script

I spy some data.data

[edgy pagoda]

Did I understand correctly that the problem is in the MIDI itself? Looking at the example of the Bardic inspiration, I do not understand what to pay attention to.

[vast bane]

Breaking Addition to findNearby to allow inclusion of incapacitated actors, MidiQOL.findNearby(disposition, token, distance, {maxSize, includeIncapacitated}). Only breaking if you were including a maxSize before, you'll need to use {maxSize: size} instead.

[scarlet gale]

Yep that's it

Just needs to be slightly adjusted

[vast bane]

it was added in midi 31

[scarlet gale]

If nobody gets to it, I can later when I'm not at work

[vast bane]

k I will attempt to sus it out while I'm doing the datas

[vast bane]

did you read the readme?

your mistake was you are using the switches in the name of the key instead of in the effect value for the right key

My example was bad because bardic inspiration is the exception to the very key you need to add:

you need that key, but NAME needs to be changed to the name of your feature

and then the effect value for this key should have turn in it

I do not know if .count keys can take two values

My guess would be turn,ItemUses.ItemName if I had to guess

where ItemName is the name of the item with charges in the actors inventory

Heres another thing you can use for count:

yeah I think this is a bug we can't fix with a change to the macro

I think its a failure to null check

[edgy pagoda]

I still don't understand.
From what I see, the system does not care what is written instead of NAME. Also, the system does not care about Mode. Upon successful execution of the function, the status immediately disappears.

I changed the names in the Attribute Key. Changed the Change Mode. In the Effect Value section, I tried to specify options similar to the examples from Lucky (Uses per day) 10.10, but none worked (critical errors). But when I enter the value of the dice, everything works but once.

[vast bane]

you are not making all the necessary keys. Very importantly you need the .count key AND, the absence of that key, if you read my images above:

[dark canopy]

no, just pass it an actual maxsize instead of a null options

{maxSize: whatever}

[vast bane]

I was about to ask this before I changed to answering them lol

I was like...what if I just make a size

what are the codes for the sizes?

specifically gargantuan

[dark canopy]

CONFIG.DND5E.[actor|token]Sizes

actor or token

[vast bane]

thank you

@edgy pagoda the reason why you should typically use the features name in the key is because generic terms can over time get forgotten and you won't realize you have them on two different automations in your world. Using the features name makes it safest so that you don't reuse it. But whatever you do, Don't use NAME.

Even though DAE tries to make you use NAME, rename it this is one of those keys you don't want dae auto completing

@honest wave

Change Enemy to Ally to target allies

Change Special to Self if you want to include the caster

[edgy pagoda]

I have renamed it several times. But the problem remains in place: after the bonus is applied, the status disappears.

[vast bane]

again, you are not including a count lol, it will delete itself if you don't give it something to consume, just like bardic, I've shared and even highlighted the text in the readme to you

Share me what you have again, maybe theres another issue, is it on a feature as transfer on equip?

[honest wave]

Perfect, thanks

[vast bane]

Theres more to this though:
The second drop down in this image needs to be setup my way(or don't ignore defeated). This setting has weird results on levels maps and with walls with height.

[honest wave]

Alright, I've tested it a bit and it seems to work fine.

I don't deal much with wall heights/levels anymore, so not going to be a common issue thankfully

[vast bane]

the issue with them is that midi doesn't know what 3d is unless you have levels auto cover and even then it may not help

[honest wave]

Gotcha, will keep it in mind ty

[vast bane]

flags.midi-qol.optional.SomethingLessGeneric.damage.all
flags.midi-qol.optional.SomethingLessGeneric.label
flags.midi-qol.optional.SomethingLessGeneric.count
flags.midi-qol.optional.SomethingLessGeneric.criticalDamage

@edgy pagoda

replace SomethingLessGeneric with the name of the feature but change the name of the feature you made cause thats WAY to generic

or use mine, its unique enough

also FYI, I don't know if count takes 2 values

As for why its auto deleting, its because you have your time playing

you aren't in combat and your seconds are set to 10 seconds

you should clear out the durations entirely

@edgy pagoda Is it once per turn endlessly or does it have charges too?

Your item has no charges setup, so if its meant to be once per turn endlessly forever, take off the ,Itemuses.SomethingLessGeneric in my above effect image. Otherwise add charges to your feature.

Also remove the action type on the item:
(Clear the formula before you clear the action type)

I gave you an example of charges too in the image

[edgy pagoda]

That's how it should be! Thanks!
Additional damage is applied once per turn and has no restrictions in quantity.
There is another question: with your option, the request window is displayed twice and with different values.

I have removed the specified elements

[vast bane]

oof

You aren't going to like my answer bud

[lean holly]

Trying to do a midi overtime regeneration and I keep getting an error about opening or closing of ( ). I cannot figure out what I am missing. Will one of you wizards please instruct an apprentice like me?

turn=start,
damageRoll=max(1, floor(@details.level /2)),
damageType=healing,
condition=@attributes.hp.value > 0 && @attributes.hp.value < @attributes.hp.max

[edgy pagoda]

I completely forgot about this module. Thanks again!

[vast bane]

Try Math.floor, but also heres my preferred regeneration:

turn=start,
damageRoll=10,
damageType=healing,
condition=@attributes.hp.value > 0 && @attributes.hp.value < @attributes.hp.max,
rollMode=gmroll,
label=Regeneration(Fire or Acid prevents)

ask in macro polo if Math.max is also a thing

[dark canopy]

turn=start,
damageRoll=10,
damageType=healing,
condition=@attributes.hp.value > 0 && @attributes.hp.value < @attributes.hp.max,
rollMode=gmroll,
label=Regeneration(Fire or Acid prevents)

try ini coloring for these blocks, little easier to read

[lean holly]

So the roll isn't a flat 10. its based on total character level. But I do like adding the lable.

Ill pop into macro polo thank you 🙂

[vast bane]

yeah I suspect your () error is cause its technically a macro not a damage formula on an item

I think it wants Math.floor

[umbral basin]

Is there a way to make an attack/failed saving throw give a creature resources back?
I'm trying to make a boss where if the a player fails/is hit by certain abilities the boss regains charges to powerup an ability.

Is there an easy way to do this?🤔
Basically trying to give it "resources.legres.value"

[vast bane]

on use macro for the feature the boss uses

If this.hitTargets != 0 { Stuff}

if its a save I don't know that one

but its probably this.save something so you could ctrl F in here for someone that wrote one already

[lean holly]

well gang. Macropolo sent me back here lol

[umbral basin]

I see you refering to "this.save or something" xD

[vast bane]

Yeah maybe I wasn't clear enough, just share them the code and deny any reference to midi lol

[lean holly]

Too late, honeybadger is in both channels lol

nothing from this problem is a macro problem

Where in this would one best put in such a line? 🤔

[lean holly]

bugbear, same error.

[violet meadow]

@umbral basin quick recap of the issue?

[umbral basin]

@violet meadow

[vast bane]

hot take, who cares if its not a whole number?

does @details.level / 2 work?

[lean holly]

Yes, it gives me a roll of 0.5 at level 1

[vast bane]

and does it add 1?

[lean holly]

But it should be a min of 1

[vast bane]

but did their hp go up?

[lean holly]

It seems to.

[vast bane]

its ugly, but they don't call me janky for nothing

[honest wave]

Is it possible to give proficiency in skills upon equipping/attuning to an item?

[vast bane]

yes but that is extremely overkill and recommended against

[violet meadow]

applyCondition instead of condition?

[vast bane]

I think they are copying the regeneration premade

[honest wave]

Why is it overkill?

A weapon of my players gives proficiency to Sleight of Hand when its attuned to, would rather not have it unattuned and forget about it

[vast bane]

@lean holly can you show us the error?

[lean holly]

Yes I was, and just trying make it based on character level rounded down min of 1

[inland vortex]

I'm using the midi Paladin auras. They are unfortunately working for everyone within 10' feet, whether marked friendly or hostile. Aura of Courage actually puts the icon on the the token. Aura of Protection doesn't put the icon on, but it does give the saving throw bonuses. Aura of Protection says it needs BABonus, Devotion and Courage ask for Active Auras. All of those are running. None of them say they need to be renamed to get rid of the 10.0.10, but I tried them both ways and that doesn't change things.

[umbral basin]

If you have time later please help me xD

[inland vortex]

Those are the logs when i hit an enemy with Blight while a pally is near

[latent spade]

the problem there lies in the fact that midi is splitting on , and your formula contains a , so it gives the roller function a formula of max(1 which has imbalanced (

[vast bane]

the midi samples are old, the bab one is literally dead in the water don't use it.

[latent spade]

i added ( ) around the whole thing that is why it has a ( before max for me.

how would u code this? As in, letting the PC choose the amount of charges, rolling xd4 and spending that many charges .3.

[vast bane]

is there an alternate character they can use?

[latent spade]

no

[vast bane]

just don't use max

[latent spade]

i guess

[vast bane]

use round, its homebrew anyway

who cares if they get 1 more sometimes

Math.round

[latent spade]

does ceil give the right values?

1 for lvl 1, 1 for lvl 2, 2 for lvl 3, 2 for lvl 4... etc

[vast bane]

the actual book rule is always round down, but floor will cause 0 at level 1

wait a minute...is this a class feature @lean holly

I got a really funny idea

make it a scale value

[latent spade]

yeah scales are perfect for this

[lean holly]

It’s a race feature. If it says class it’s wrong.

Wereravens

From Curse of Strahd book.

[vast bane]

a janky solution would be to give their class a custom scale

then call the scale in that feature

oh wait its a monster?

yeah just do round

who cares if its 1 more sometimes

Math.round

and drop the max

If you also use my suggestion of putting in a whisper then the players will never know

[vast bane]

if you are using CPR, use his auras. If you aren't using CPR, Mr.Primate shared a functional active aura aura of protection in kandashi's server in the active auras channel.

[lean holly]

It’s a character playable race.

I’ll try round in a few minutes 🙂

[vast bane]

you could setup a scale value on their class item and then call it in the racial feature, or just wing it and use round(@details.level / 2)

[static sparrow]

I’d use Build a Bonus. Its resource consumption options can do exactly what you’re looking for.

[modern badger]

how so?

I dont see the way to do so .3.

[vast bane]

that item is all macro territory

theres been similar stuff done like that that included "Holy Power"

[latent spade]

not Math.round, just round

this is going straight into the roller of Foundry

[vast bane]

@lean holly Woops sorry take off the math in my example, I'll edit it now...

[inland vortex]

I am using CPR. His auras say the Effect Auras setting must be enabled. What is that?

[modern badger]

chris' premades has a divine smite that's similar but cant reverse engineer it

[vast bane]

its module settings

[latent spade]

but yeah it sounds like something an issue could be made about that you cant do a little bit more advanced rolls because of , 😄

[lean holly]

That worked!

round for the win

[vast bane]

its not similar at all actually, as divine smite only lets you expend 1 thing

[inland vortex]

In midi qol?

[vast bane]

you want the Holy Power shennanigans that were made 2-3 months back by some folks

Or you could look at Lay on Hands in midiqol samples

[inland vortex]

I'm not finding it so far

[static sparrow]

Make the damage bonus optional, set resource consumption to the item’s uses, give it a scaling value of 1d4.

[latent spade]

but since it is a racial feature going the scale route is still advisable. All that take that race get that feature right?

[vast bane]

you can't do that because you can pick X charges to use in one roll

[lean holly]

I didnt think scale worked on Races yet?

[latent spade]

ah right.... >.< sleepy brain

[vast bane]

I think we're telling you to just attach it to the actual class item but call it in the racial feature

[static sparrow]

BaB handles that automatically.

[vast bane]

I get that, but isn't that also the feature that doesn't work with midi?

[static sparrow]

It’s worked fine for me.

Maybe there are some edge cases I haven’t hit?

[latent spade]

gonna have a short think on what to do.

[modern badger]

this should work but its not asking me :<

wait this doesnt work with midi

D:

[static sparrow]

You want damage rolls, not attack rolls.

[vast bane]

do you fast forward Saga?

[static sparrow]

Nope.

[vast bane]

@modern badger do you fast forward?

[modern badger]

ye

I do :<

[static sparrow]

Yeah, maybe it won’t ask then.

[vast bane]

Try it out, if it doesn't work, try turning off fast forward

[static sparrow]

You didn’t screenshot it but make sure that bonus is set to optional as well.

[vast bane]

I'm 99.9% sure this is pointless if fast forward is non negotiable hehe

[static sparrow]

If you want to use fast-forward or auto-rolling or whatever, macro it may have to be.

[vast bane]

just fast forward is the problem, auto roll is fine

[modern badger]

fast forward is non negotiable ye twt

gotdamn

[inland vortex]

Sorry to ask again, but what module is that setting part of?

[modern badger]

if only chris' premades let me look at the guts

[vast bane]

@tepid dock was the user who made a bunch of Holy Power items, maybe they can share insight on how to help

[vast bane]

Chris' Premades

[inland vortex]

ty

[vast bane]

His auras don't show effects on tokens

[static sparrow]

It does, it’s all on GitHub.

But also I can probably write a macro for you later tonight if no one else helps you out, what you’re doing is similar to a Dream Druid feature I’ve automated.

[modern badger]

:0

[vast bane]

I actually think lay on hands is a better thing to plagerize

the midi sample

[modern badger]

well I'd be v grateful u.u

[vast bane]

it takes a value you enter and then applies a damage

[modern badger]

oooo

[vast bane]

it would be the value you enter *1(d4)

lay on hands is technically an item you roll that takes an input and then applies damage to the target(healing damage)

and expends that amount of the resource

[modern badger]

I'm gonna take a crack at it using lay on hands but I'd still appreciate the help offer

😓

[static sparrow]

Yep, I’ll follow up later.

[modern badger]

it says 'blocked by preitemroll macro'

:1

[inland vortex]

Thanks again, everything is working now

[vast bane]

you gonna need to add a lil more context than that

If you are trying to use lay on hands, it checks for paladin and resource linkage and returns a notification if theres a problem so start with those two

[tepid dock]

Just seeing this, anyone have a TL;DR?

[vast bane]

Tart wants to make an item that I thoguht sounded alot like your Holy Power features:

[inland vortex]

Is there a module or a way to automate players polymorphing others, or does the DM have to handle that in the case of enemies and the DM or affected player handle it if it's another PC?

I see videos online of people doing this, but I'm not finding those modules

[vast bane]

I'd use CPR's quick insert summoner macro for that

[inland vortex]

I'll go check that out, thanks

[vast bane]

its in the same compendium as the generic actions

it won't set the permissions right since the summoner summons it, but you can use a hotbar macro to swap permissions

OR, you could be really crazy and make it run the macro on the target...

advanced macros lets you run macros as other users

[inland vortex]

It may be time for me to learn about macros

[tepid dock]

I can't say I can help too much. Most of the custom holy power items I have created run off resource points. There aren't really weapon charges. You could try using the module Magic Item, but I believe is deprecated, or just not supported and has some bugs. But Magic Item does let you have charges on items and regain them on LR. I still use it and it some times is a pain.

[vast bane]

Its usually wise to set a weapon up like the lay on hands feature so that you aren't consuming charges everytime you swing the weapon anyway

aka resource pool setup via dae on the weapon

[green wolf]

Hey all, two questions.

1. Is there an OverTime tag that lets you add a description (not a name like label)?
2. Is there a way to make someone immune to an effect after the save? I have saveRemove=true but I was wondering if there was something else that would be better as this will reapply if the character re enters the aura.

[vast bane]

@violet meadow
let targets = await MidiQOL.findNearby(null, paladin, distance, {maxSize: grg});

What am I doing wrong? should it be {maxSize: grg, null, null}?

[vast bane]

No to a description but the label is basically a description if you look at what it is on the prompt/chatcard. As for immunity, CPR has a bunch of "stench" monster features that pull this off.

[violet meadow]

CONFIG.DND5E.tokenSizes.grg

instead of grg

or define grg first
