MidiQOL

[vast bane]

lol so um Badger already answered this but I totally misunderstood what they said lol

I thought they were telling me to put that in the console to see the initials

[violet meadow]

Also its not an async function so don't await it

You need a number or the what I shared

[vast bane]

there are alot of "waits" in the macro this is in

[violet meadow]

you can check which function is async and which is not in the console quite easily 😉

[vast bane]

All set now, will reshare Divine sense all fixed in a second

u.u

[green wolf]

CPR?

[vast bane]

The module Chris' Premades. Its got a bunch of advanced automations for dnd5e and is one of the mainstays here for midi users.

[green wolf]

oh awesome i'll take a look thanks!

[hasty jackal]

it is possible to create this?i guess undead, construct and elemental doesnt count as "alive" for making it easier to do

[vast bane]

It wouldn't be perfect, would it be worth automating then?

ATL detection mode key for one of the senses

[hasty jackal]

hmm good idea

i guess if you can create an item that only activates on some "races" you can make one that excludes "races"?

[vast bane]

living in dnd terms is anything with more than 0 hp that is a creature

[hasty jackal]

so is as easy as adding one special sense using ATL keys

[frail osprey]

is it possible to make a DAE delete itself if certain conditions aren't met?

I mean, through item macro

[vast bane]

don't describe foundry/midi terms, describe the actual item instead

[short aurora]

Depends on the condition but yes

[frail osprey]

I have this effect that, if certain conditions are met, it creates stuff on an actor through args on and deletes them on args off. It's working fine, problem is, even if conditions for args on aren't present, the effect stays on the actor (doesn't create anything, but stays there).

conditions are: 2 other specific effects must be present

if I try deleting the effect through actor.deleteEmbeddedDocuments("Active Effect", [currenteffect]), the macro just goes args on and creates stuff

[vast bane]

are you making the thor premade items interactions?

[frail osprey]

thor?

[short aurora]

You can check for the conditions in args each (per turn), but deleting an active effect should not create one lol

[vast bane]

nm if you don't know it nm

[short aurora]

That sounds like some whack logic

(program logic not your logic)

[vast bane]

theres 3 magic items where one of them gets something special if you wear the other two, and alot of people make the mistake of not realizing they don't need to attune to the other two, just wear them, so if you had been making that, your approach was flawed because the other two don't need to be attuned therefore their ae's wouldn't be on the actor.

but you aren't making that so nm

[frail osprey]

nah, nothing to do with attunement, it's that same astral monk stuff I've been dealing with for the past week

it's not hard to do, but I've been doing and learning at the same time, hence the difficulty

I had no clue what "args" was until like 3 days ago, so... 😆

Right now, macro is like this:

//Check Arms of the Astral Self and Visage of the Astral Self
const hasArms = !!actor.effects.find(e => e.label === "Arms of the Astral Self");
const hasVisage = !!actor.effects.find(e => e.label === "Visage of the Astral Self");
const currentEffect = actor.effects.find(e => e.label === "Body of the Astral Self");

actor.deleteEmbeddedDocuments("ActiveEffect", [currentEffect])


//Define abilities
const empoweredData = await fromUuid('Compendium.world.monk.bZTGlfOBKpuDFQHC');
const deflectData = await fromUuid('Compendium.world.monk.uR3ou0xtetQ7TrlR');

//Check if actor already has abilities and creates them
if (args[0] === "on"){
  let hasEmpowered = !!actor.items.getName(empoweredData.name);
  if (!hasEmpowered){
    await actor.createEmbeddedDocuments("Item", [empoweredData]);
    ui.notifications.notify("Empowered Arms added to your abilities.")
  }

  let hasDeflect = !!actor.items.getName(deflectData.name);
  if (!hasDeflect){
    await actor.createEmbeddedDocuments("Item", [deflectData]);
    ui.notifications.notify("Deflect Energy added to your abilities.")
  }
}

/*When args off (effect is removed), it checks if feats exist and deletes them (this check is by item name, so, if you have other items with that same name, it won't work). Deletion can't be done using
empoweredData and deflectData because the ids are different than the ones created on the actor.*/
if (args[0] === "off"){
  actor.items.getName("Empowered Arms")?.delete();
  actor.items.getName("Deflect Energy")?.delete();
  ui.notifications.notify("Deflect Energy and Empowered Arms removed from your abilities.")
}

it stores the effect just fine on const currentEffect (used console.log to check), but, once it gets to the delete part, it goes nuts, doesn't delete anything and sends args on

actually, it's not args on, it sets true all the ifs inside args on

[cinder tapir]

AC was 16, and a 16 spell ranged attack misses?

Does midi fuck up sometimes?

[vast bane]

your world is fully homebrew so who knows

show the attack in chat?

[frail osprey]

nvm, it isn't messing with args or anything, it just isn't deleting itself

any clues how to make this lil'guy terminate itself?

[short aurora]

Hmm, yeah I wonder if it can find itself when applied, not sure when that check happens

Let me play and I'll get back to you

[vast bane]

give it a duration, or have the other dae's terminate it

[short aurora]

@frail osprey Actually, double checking the logic here; in what cases do you expect this item to delete itself? Not programmatically, but like the logic while the player plays the game.

It seems strange to need an effect to self-annihilate

[frail osprey]

so, this ability (the one that generates this effect) can only be used if two other effects are present
Ability 1 + Ability 2 -> unlocks Ability 3 (this ability)

Ability 3 grants 2 other abilities (lets call them subab1 and subab2)

Now, the original version of this macro checks if effects 1 and 2 are present and, if not, terminates it with a return, BUT this doesn't delete the effect, so the player doesn't get subabs 1 and 2 as intended, but the effect stays on the actor.

not really gamebreaking or anything, but sorta sends a false information to the player

tl;dr: I don't want the effect to show up if certain conditions aren't met

[short aurora]

Gotcha. I don't think letting the effect "catch" itself is the right approach here, I think you should make this an on use macro instead and programmatically create the active effect. The macro will check for the other two(?) active effects and create the effect if appropriate. Since you've also already created the items of the features that it's adding, instead of using args for on/off, use macro.createItem. Functionally the same, just saves you some coding

[vast bane]

I think Krig should just look up the Astral Self monk

its the first 3 features of astral self

I looked it up, I didn't think it needed this complex of an automation personally

[frail osprey]

will try. I was having a problem that my effects created through macro didn't carry the change 😢

[vast bane]

Arms is a macro.createItem key
Visage is an ATL key, 2 advantage keys for the skills
Body is a macro.createItem key and an optional.name set of keys for once per turn bonus damage

If you really wanted to automate when they can use them, make arms give visage as a macro.create, then have visage give body as a macro.create.

[short aurora]

Try this;

const hasArms = !!actor.effects.find(e => e.label === "Arms of the Astral Self");
const hasVisage = !!actor.effects.find(e => e.label === "Visage of the Astral Self");

if (hasVisage == true && hasArms == true) {
    const effectData = {
        label: this.item.name,
        icon: this.item.img,
        changes: [
            {
                "key": "macro.createItem",
                "value": 'Compendium.world.monk.bZTGlfOBKpuDFQHC',
                "mode": 0,
                "priority": 20
            },
            {
                "key": "macro.createItem",
                "value": 'Compendium.world.monk.uR3ou0xtetQ7TrlR',
                "mode": 0,
                "priority": 20
            }
        ]
    }

    await this.actor.createEmbeddedDocuments("ActiveEffect", [effectData])
}```

It should also have a clause for not finding the effects to alert the player, but we can add that afterwards

[frail osprey]

ui.notifications.alert("YOU CLICKED THE WRONG ITEM MOFO")

[short aurora]

pretty much ye, or create bugbear's eula accept macro

as punishment

[rotund mountain]

I am home and have tried to apply the new effect to the item. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working 😦

[frail osprey]

worked great, Krig! Thanks! I'll just add a notification and make the effect temporary 🥳

[violet meadow]

I had changed somethings between the first upload of the macro and the one that is now shared in the post. Had you grabbed it when I first posted it?

Any errors in console?

[rotund mountain]

let me check the version

[frail osprey]

btw, @short aurora , lemme know if you ever get around automating that fly thing I saw you talking about earlier

[rotund mountain]

is this correct for the effect value setting?

[violet meadow]

nope just empty effect value

[frail osprey]

I have a homebrew ability (created before we moved to FoundryVTT) that allows the player to move double their move speed and then deals AoE damage based on moved distance, and I have NO IDEA on how to automate that

[short aurora]

@vast bane I just discovered a limitation of macro.createItem regarding consumables and quantities; it can't be removed after being applied, if it's being applied to an existing stack (e.g. create another arrow on top of your 99 arrows). I think you had your jank reactions set up like that? Just a heads up if they ever behave weird about removal

[short aurora]

realistically, I'd just put in a dialog and trust the player, that'd seem a lot smoother in actual play

also maybe they get the jolly out of putting in a big number if they like hasted themselves or something

[frail osprey]

like: "insert how many feet you walked"?

Forgot to mention it also gives the player fly speed

[short aurora]

Yeah, how far you travelled. Basically to automate it, you'd have to calculate based on start and end position of their turn, presumably, and that's a big can of worms

[frail osprey]

name of the ability is "swoop of the electrical phoenix", actor gets electrical wings and flies to a certain spot, then electricity explodes around them

[short aurora]

Grid based gameplay means that the shortest distance is not always the distance you travelled, after all

[rotund mountain]

it still appears to not be working. I do appreciate all of the assistance so far though!
The effect doesn't change, nor does a new one get added
No console errors, and no console messages with it (tested with item added and removed)

[short aurora]

Oh, they pick a point? It is actually just the shortest distance?

[vast bane]

Yeah, I actually found that out then, just never responded to tell anyone lol

[frail osprey]

yup

[vast bane]

I changed the item type

its cause consumables can be stacked

[short aurora]

Then it's not so bad, midiQOL get distance before triggering the ability I guess

[frail osprey]

but the "max pickable point" should be double their speed

[short aurora]

if that doesn't calculate for the proper 5/5/5 or 5/10/5 grid based (it might, have not checked), then you need to do some shenanigans

[dark canopy]

search macro polo for "measureDistances" (plural) as a start

[frail osprey]

will do! Thanks for the tips, guys

btw, to have midi-qol autoapply damage through macro, I'd have to find a way to insert the damage in the workflow, right?

[vast bane]

if you mean for body, that screams optional.name

one on turn, deal extra martial arts die damage with a melee attack

[frail osprey]

no, for this other ability I was describing, that deals damage based on distance. Since macro will calculate the distance (and therefore the damage too)

[short aurora]

Yup, or if there's no save or anything involved, you can do a damageOnlyWorkflow as a line in the macro itself

Basically no evaluating of "does this hit you" if you're a target is a good usecase for a damageOnlyWorkflow, of course, you can also macro in the "does this hit you" but I tend to not do that personally, so midi can take care of that for me

the less logic already coded I have to code, the more sanity I have

[frail osprey]

so basically midi will check the hit and, if there is any, it'll get the damage from damageOnlyWorkflow?

[short aurora]

damageOnlyWorkflow is a function to damage someone, how we evaluate the target depends on the feature, but let's cross that bridge when you actually sit down to make it

lots of ifs and maybes here

[frail osprey]

you're right, unfortunately I have a lot of other more critical stuff to automate before that

[short aurora]

that just means you wont get bored!!!11

[violet meadow]

All midi distances functions respect the diagonal rules

[violet meadow]

Did you equip and attune to the item?

[rotund mountain]

yes

[inland tendon]

I didn't see these in the midi docs - what do they do?

[violet meadow]

Theoretically these flags on an actor, grant disadvantage on attacks that are type util and other. Now if that holds any value 🤷‍♂️

[violet meadow]

Share some screenshots of the DAE, item and the macro as you ve set them up to see if anything seems amiss.
Won't be at me pc till the morning in some 8 hours

[frail osprey]

@krig managed to get an effect to delete another effect on args off. Had to use effect.id

actor.deleteEmbeddedDocuments("ActiveEffect", effect.id)

[short aurora]

Ah yeah, I overlooked that in the original, you're right, need id for deleting embedded documents

[frail osprey]

weirdly enough, I didn't need to state the id when deleting stuff using actor on use Item Macros

just when macros were triggered by effects

[rotund mountain]

Sounds good 🙂

[violet meadow]

Ok that is the initial item and seems fine.
What is under the Effects tab in the actor's character sheet when you equip and attune to the item?

[honest wave]

Yo, for these kinds of saves, (flags.midi-qol.advantage.ability.save.all) do I need to input an effect value to get it to work?

Or, rather I guess, how do I tell that its worked?

I've tried adding a +1 and it doesnt prompt or automated advantage on saves when rolling as a player with the effect

[short aurora]

Just 1 instead of +1 should do it

Unless you fast forward though, all it does is highlight the advantage button for ya

[honest wave]

Ah ok, thanks

Should have known

[frail osprey]

not really midi related, but anyone here also had this issue at some point? I have an effect that gives 120ft darkvision, and the actor gets the darkvision, but the token doesn't

[short aurora]

Prototype token and sheet do not translate like that

[honest wave]

Hmm

[short aurora]

No correlation as far as I am aware

[frail osprey]

I mean, there's no vision at all

[honest wave]

The advantage isn't highlighted in the saving throw pop up, or am I missing what that highlight is?

[short aurora]

What I meant by no correlation is that you gotta set up the prototype token of actors separately

[honest wave]

Look into the module "Adequate Vision" it'll automate the vision from character sheet and token

Its something that should be in the system, but isn't (yet)

[frail osprey]

I see. Thanks, Tom

[honest wave]

np.

[short aurora]

Nope, looks like you got a conflict with a module or something, unless you already had disadvantage on the save. Works fine.

[honest wave]

(Adequate Vision, not lighting)

[short aurora]

Here's the quick big bad list of modules
https://github.com/thatlonelybugbear/FoundryMacros/wiki/MidiQOL-knowledge-database-by-@MotoMoto1234

[honest wave]

Alright thanks, I know what the conflict most likely is then, but need the other module to keep my current workload

Although it isnt on Motos list

[static sparrow]

@modern badger What's the normal damage and damage type of your weapon?

[shadow kernel]

Is there a way to setup a "damage absorption" that would absorb 10 points of damage / day? (similar to charges for an item that would recharge each day, but in this case it would be damage that would be absorbed)

[celest bluff]

dae + magic item module

You'd create a spell with the effect then drop that spell on to the item

You can assign cost, charges and how charges return

[errant gull]

So when using an item that drops a template that will target anything you drop it on, is there a way to get it to not select allies?

[spice kraken]

Don't think you can without a macro

[rough willow]

So I'm looking at the tab for the attribute key for Active Effect, and i see a bunch of "flags.midi-qol." in theat drop down. is there a list somewhere of what some of the less obvious "flags" are for? For example... what is "flags.midi-qol.inMotion" like, what does that mean? a lot of them make sense, but a few seem curious to me.

[gilded yacht]

Yeah, the default should be true (not false) for overtime effects

[gilded yacht]

It would have to be a macro that untargets friends before doing the rest of the workflow.

[pale magnet]

Does Midi account for disadvantage when making a ranged attack with an enemy at 5ft? (5e)

[spice kraken]

It might be a setting but yes

[modern badger]

oh fuck, sorri, was sleeping, normal damage is 1d8, 1d10 versatile, and bludgeoning

[violet meadow]

There is an Arcane Ward Item in the MidiQOL sample items compendium that might be good as a starting point too, if you are used to macros and such.

[violet meadow]

Which MidiQOL and DAE versions are you on?

[vast bane]

I didn't write an issue for that, cause I also discovered that there is a checkbox for this too in one of the later tabs in workflow button for ignoring incapacitated for actions. But it did seem like the wrong option was default in the overtime.

[molten moss]

I'm playing dnd 5e and trying to use an effect similar to heavy armor master to reduce damage taken by an amount. I'm using the "flags.midi-qol.DR.bludgeoning" tag for example, then putting in a formula there for the amount. Is it possible to have damage reduced by an amount, but to a minimum of 1?

[violet meadow]

flags.midi-qol.DR.bludgeoning | Override | min(1,formula)

@pale magnet In MidiQOL settings => Workflow settings => Workflow tab, you can have a setting to automatically match a DFreds CE to the name of the used Item.
So if Rage is used, the Rage CE will be applied.
Apply Convenient Effects which is the one shown in the cropped screenshot.

[molten moss]

Thank you so much!

[late briar]

Is it fine to ask here a question just about DAE? Its regarding the system.attributes.ac.flat key.

[vast bane]

We're probably the best source for the answer so I'd say sure

[late briar]

okay!

I noticed that in DAE the attribute system.attributes.ac.flat is deprecated but it seems to work fine if one just wants to reduce current armor by 2.
Even if one uses flat armor instead of a calculated one like natural or equipped. Why is it deprecated?

[short aurora]

I think specifically dnd5e deprecated that one in favor of bonus for adjusting armor?

[vast bane]

Its deprecated I think because calcs got added afterwards. That key will only do anything if the ac calc is set to flat

[late briar]

well it also works on non flat stuff

it tested it on monsters with flat, monsters with equipped, monsters with natural and also players.

[vast bane]

does it change the ac calc to flat though?

Krigs suggestion is the recommended key for what you want to do fwiw

[short aurora]

Not seeing a change with equipped armor for players personally, works if set to flat like Moto mentioned

[vast bane]

I think its overriding but not showing in your sheet/sheet module

[short aurora]

AC is 11 with leather armor and 0 dex mod

[vast bane]

I have an active effect that heavily uses a bunch of deprecated keys and the behavior of the sheet is really weird on them

[gilded yacht]

The easiest (but not strictly correct) is to have an effect that deals temphp healing of 10 points. To get it to reapply each day I'd suggest effect macro for the on/off cases and a special duration of end of day. The delete macro would just reapply the effect to the actor.

[late briar]

works on my paladin player with 23 AC from armor, shield and ring.
It even lists the modifications on the tooltip.

Maybe it only works with + and - symbol in front of it?

[vast bane]

I think the flat is how you set calcs actually

and since you didn't set it right its not doing anything right?

[short aurora]

Hmm, nope, I can't replicate yours, only seems to work with flat and natural

[late briar]

the flat one is just a left over from old tests.

[late briar]

weird...

[vast bane]

natural is actually like flat fwiw I found that out weirdly

[late briar]

How is this just working for me 🤣

I mean its nice but... why

[short aurora]

oh that's value, not flat, it adds if you put it in flat?

[vast bane]

dae and midi have alot of synergy and some things will work differently when midi is absent in dae

[short aurora]

your picture I mean

[late briar]

not using midi, yep

[short aurora]

value works fine, flat does nothing if not set to flat or natural

[late briar]

okay nvmd I am illiterate. I mean to ask about value, not flat 🤦

[vast bane]

value is really wonky, but why aren't you using bonus instead?

[short aurora]

Aah, fair fair. I think it is just to follow dnd5e's change to bonus, I recall it being value before?

[vast bane]

its a much stronger key as long as you aren't using flat

[late briar]

because bonus does not work with pure flat.

[vast bane]

I think its usually advised to swap to natural

[late briar]

which my DM loves

[vast bane]

natural is basically flat but bonus works

[late briar]

yeah but my DM is too lasy to swap everything to natural I think.

well I could write him a macro...

and then just to be sure remove flat from the list of options too...

[vast bane]

I think theres a setting with most importers to swap to natural vs flat fwiw

[late briar]

all creatures we use are basically hand made 😂

[vast bane]

oof

make a world script that defaults an actor to natural vs flat

[late briar]

good idea

[short aurora]

fwiw I can't think of something that breaks right now, despite it being deprecated, might just be a thing to consider for future or if AC starts doing shenanigans

[vast bane]

also fyi, I am pretty sure changing from flat to natural doesn't reset the value

cause both require a manual entry

[late briar]

yep it does not. just testet it. it does allow things like a shield to be added though.

which is neat

[vast bane]

yeah I recently ran into this exact situation, I was like...huh, whats the point of flat then?

[late briar]

thanks for the help. I think I need more coffee...

or less

[vast bane]

and deprecation is not always bad to use:

These ones work, but the sheet gets really weird in displaying them.

[late briar]

huh

why is the picture a cute kitty

[vast bane]

Then again I haven't looked at them since I dropped tidy so maybe the core sheet handles them

Its a "shocked" kitty

[late briar]

hmmm

yes

[vast bane]

Its used on especially difficult monsters

[late briar]

so for the world script I need to loop through all actors in the world... and then update the calculation.
All actors in the world means all in the sidebar and all unlinked tokens on all scenes as well?

[vast bane]

A macro could be made for doing existing things, I think a world script would be for making sure flat isn't the default on a created actor

hes electing to pick flat

maybe a world script or CSS to hide flat lol

default is "unarmored"

[late briar]

there is a CONFIG.DND5E entry for those things

so if I just delete that entry...

[vast bane]

You could tell them about natural maybe that will get them motivated to use it

[late briar]

yeah they just used the first one that did what they wanted to do lol

[vast bane]

I think it would be easier to get the DM to change than to go in and change so much stuff thats already using .bonuses

[late briar]

and then I just use the ac.bonus key, right?

[vast bane]

make sure before you give a macro that swaps flat and natural, that it passes the test of maintaining the value

you don't want to fire that macro on a compendium or scene and then have it turn a bunch of ac's to 0

[late briar]

players would love it

[vast bane]

it could also send a bunch of actors into validation errors too

if it nulls the ac field

[late briar]

eww

[vast bane]

basically, test it on a small unimportant sample before you make it override the bestiary or a whole map hehe

[late briar]

yeah definitely. You don't know an easy way to get all actors in the entire world at once, right?

besides a loop over scenes

[vast bane]

I know zhell would, but thats a really dangerous macro lol

I was thinkin something along the lines of all tokens on scene, all sidebar actors, and all actors in a compendium

[late briar]

the server makes a backup of all worlds every day at 0:00 and uploads it to a gitlab repository so that does not matter too much.

[vast bane]

but first make a macro that does selected token to make sure the actual macro method doesn't reset the ac

the UI method may keep the value because its left in the UI and then you hit save. A macro doesn't do that so I'd be worried about that

[late briar]

Migration completed without errors or wrong values ^^

World Script is also completed.

[violet meadow]

Went down the rabbit hole for that one.

Seems that next DAE will probably have some changes regarding this, making do not stack by name the default option more or less.

[vast bane]

oh cool, that would make the janky immune to custom ce's alot easier

the question though is, will that change existing aes?

will we have to delete and rebuild the dfreds CE item?

Fwiw, all you need is default behavior changed. The non custom ce's are typically not important for this as the conditions are all already handled with Conditional immunity

[violet meadow]

Up until now, if an AE didn't have a defined flags.dae.stackable, it would pretty much default to multi. In the future it will default to noneName.

Alongside this, the dropdown menu in the DFreds CE create effect dialog, should in the future default to the Do not stack by name instead of origin, so newly created CEs would have that as default.

Already placed AEs should not be affected

[hot flower]

is there a flag for "can't take reactions"?

[narrow saddle]

Does anyone know if there is a toggle anywhere to change initiative to fast forward/auto rolls?

I have not changed anything in a world apart from something in MTB that is totally unrelated and now the initiatives of PCs are being auto rolled. (I have changed the totally unrelated ting in MTB back just in case and initiative is still auto rolling)

[narrow saddle]

Would that not be in something like Dfreds CE incapacitated condition?

[hot flower]

oh, duh. I can just put a Dfred's reaction effect. I'm dumb.

sorry.

[violet meadow]

Quiet initiative module maybe?

[narrow saddle]

No, I do not have anything like that.

I have two worlds, different campaigns but identical set ups. One has suddenly started rolling initiative automatically.

Wait a minute, it could be Quick Combat, I installed it this week so that I can get combat sounds going when a combat starts.

Configured that for the Wednesday game but not Friday game. ha ha DOH!!

[proper siren]

Hey all, had a question on the let me roll that for you module. I'm using it with midi's prompt players to roll saves, but when the dialogue pops up they don't have the ability to select advantage or disadvantage. Is that just an inherent problem with lmrtfy? Should I just be using foundries standard dialogue box popup for that?

[inland tendon]

The reroll initiative feature is very fun, but a bummer that it messes up some effect expiry stuff. Does anyone know if there are plans in the works to get it working more smoothly?

[vast bane]

You have fast forward turned on for whomever is rolling, thats a midi setting

I don't use LMRTFY, I use MTB, I'm unsure if there is an issue with fast forward with that module or not.

[proper siren]

Thanks, fast forward isn't on, they get the dialogue box to initiate the saving throw, it just doesn't give them advantage or disadvantage option

[modern badger]

u can use shift and control in the dialogue

[proper siren]

cool let me try that

[proper siren]

hm, that doesn't seem to change anything

[modern badger]

o3o

weird

when I click it with shift it does adv.

[proper siren]

huh, and that's on midi popups not just the general lmrtfy manual request?

ahhh, it looks like lmrtfy + query works

[hot flower]

I'm trying to automate Staggering Smite. Is there another spell that gives you a bonus damage and then asks you to roll a saving throw or have AE applied? I just want to look at the code and see how that is constructed.

[vast bane]

I'm unfamiliar with LMRTFY, it must have a setting overrding midi.

you should not need to use keyboard shortcuts to live with fast forward, it should be a setting you can shut off

fast forward has 3 setting locations

[proper siren]

Yeah no shortcuts necessary, lmrtfy+query in midi settings works fine

[vast bane]

ability/saves is outside the workflow button, and then attacks/damage are inside the workflow button in player/dm tabs

[proper siren]

that gives you the lmrtfy dialogue box and when pressed then gives the diadv/standard/adv dialogue box

[hot flower]

basically i just need a macro that has a save function that i can look at.

[vast bane]

all of the bonus action smites need some desperate attention

[hot flower]

i've just about got it. I just need to macro the save.

[vast bane]

theres a midi sample and a ddbi macro available for bonus action smites

[hot flower]

looks like Thunderous Smite is the model to work off.

[umbral basin]

@violet meadow Are you here today per chance?👀

[violet meadow]

Intermittently 😁
Link me the latest comments and I will take a look!

[umbral basin]

@violet meadow
How one would do this?
Iv tried using the this.save/hit Moto suggested but Foundry does not like it xD I keep geting errors and it destroys the rest of the macro.

and im trying to put it into this.
@violet meadow

[violet meadow]

So if there is no hit, give something back?

Cause that one has no save, has it?

The macro I mean

[umbral basin]

No, if the attack hits or the target fails a save the creature that attacked should gain resources.

[umbral basin]

I have another version for a save, I can link that to

[violet meadow]

Ok I will need access to my PC to write this though so it will need to be later

How are you trying to update the resource? I might get away with some copy pasting of the code if you have it correctly doing that for now

Otherwise coding on mobile not good 😅

[umbral basin]

Well im using the "resources.legres.value"
If this.hitTargets != 0 {resources.legres.value}
Im probably using them wrong, I tried to include it under the second line of the script.

Im 99% sure all of my versions of that line was utterly wrong

[violet meadow]

Oh yeah 😅

if (!args[0].hitTargets.length) return;
await args[0].actor.update({"system.resources.legres.value": args[0]. actor.system.resources.legres.value+1});
``` maybe going from memory.

If you log the actor and find the data path to the resources legres you can find the correct update

[umbral basin]

Log the actor?

@violet meadow

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-so-sad-gif-25352430

[violet meadow]

Does the above work if you don't hit?

[umbral basin]

If I dont hit nothing happens

When I hit with that part of the macro added nothing changes from how the macro normally works. However im not sure what you mean with "find the data path to the resources legres you can find the correct update"

But when I use it alone it "works". It adds a resource no matter if it hits or misses xD

@violet meadow

[violet meadow]

Replace the line in your macro
if(args[0].hitTargets.length===0) return
with the one I shared above

[umbral basin]

I did in the original macro, it still adds a resource on both hit and miss

[violet meadow]

Share the macro then again to check it

[umbral basin]

[violet meadow]

And how do you execute this macro?

Ps you got the same line twice in the beginning, but shouldn’t matter in the grand scale of things anyways 😀

Item on Use , after active effects?

[umbral basin]

Not sure how that happened🤣

[umbral basin]

On use macro

[violet meadow]

With which trigger?

[umbral basin]

After active effects

[violet meadow]

So what happens when you attack with that item? It adds legres and stops?

[umbral basin]

It adds a legres resource aswell as the other parts of the attack

So the only thing thats wrong is that it adds a resource on a miss

[molten token]

anyone had an issue where the auto target works for evryone except for one player?

[opaque current]

Is there a player side setting they've messed with?

[violet meadow]

Wait you want to add a resource on a hit!?!

[molten token]

Nope

[violet meadow]

@umbral basin get this macro and replace the similar line

[umbral basin]

XD I thought I said that hahaha xD Im sorry
Yes so basically the plan is to have it as a part of a Boss mechanic. I find Legendary Resistance to be quite boring on itself.

So my plan is that the BBEG can have 10 Legendary Resources.
If it manages to drain the players on blood it gains a charge, it can use 8 charges to use a powerful Attack but also 2 resources to use a Legendary resistance. So if the players use a lot of abilities they can prevent the powerful attack.

The boss has a few other ways to gain resources such as minions bringing stuff so the players will need to kill these minions before they boost the boss.

[hot flower]

how would I have an Activation Condition of having an ally within 5 feet of the actor?

I basically want to automate this: When a creature the thug gang boss can see targets it with an attack, the thug gang boss chooses an ally within 5 feet of it. The thug gang boss swaps places with the chosen ally, and the chosen ally becomes the target instead.

I just want to stop the workflow, swap the tokens and then let the player target the new token manually and roll the attack again.

[celest bluff]

that would be a reaction macro, which could be easily done findnearby, dialog and warpgate

[hot flower]

does "args" not return anything anymore?

[umbral basin]

The similar line? Thats the part I added to the macro before.

[crystal idol]

I'm making this magic item
As an action, you can pull the hook on top of the Lantern of Souls to activate it, focusing on one creature within 30 feet. The target must make an Incapacitated Charisma saving throw until its concentration is broken or the Lantern is deactivated. You must continue using your actions to maintain concentration on the Lantern. If the target remains under the effect of the Soul Lantern after 3 turns, their soul leaves their body and is captured by the lantern, rendering them unconscious until the soul is recovered or the lantern is destroyed.
and I want a Midi-QOL macro to apply the incapacitated condition appropriately on the target. How do I do this?

Single target, on ST fail, for 3 turns

[crystal idol]

Figured out the incapacitated part. Still struggling with the overtime effect after 3 rounds to become unconcious

[violet meadow]

oh fml... wait nope

@umbral basin get this one

[umbral basin]

It works flawlessly!

[umbral basin]

What is the difference now then if I want to use this for a save ability?
So that if the target fails the save the user gains a resource? 🤔

[crystal idol]

What if I do a Macro on effect Deletion? How do I write a macro so that the person with the effect gains the unconcious condition?

I'm sorry, I am very ignorant on this topic, but I'd love to have this item working

[umbral basin]

I tried to add your changes to the previous macro to this one but im doing something wrong🤔

[celest bluff]

shouldn't need a wait for creating a chat message

[rotund mountain]

These are my versions

[celest bluff]

const tokenD = canvas.tokens.get(args[0].tokenId);
const actorD = game.actors.get(args[0].actor._id);

can just be

const tokenD = canvas.tokens.get(args[0].tokenId);
const actorD = tokenD.actor;

also if you want the full name, should go off the actor's name. The token name is always the prototypes name. Unless you're not using token mold.

[violet meadow]

Remove the .value after the failedSaves[0]

And make the changes Crumic suggested

I haven't gone through the whole macro. There are things that should be changed

[umbral basin]

In all places?

[violet meadow]

I count two instances

[celest bluff]

I've also had args[0].uuid, fail on me. args[0].itemUuid is more dependable

[umbral basin]

Well those are removed now and the

const tokenD = canvas.tokens.get(args[0].tokenId);
const actorD = game.actors.get(args[0].actor._id);

has been changed to

const tokenD = canvas.tokens.get(args[0].tokenId);
const actorD = tokenD.actor;

[celest bluff]

or could do args[0].uuid || args[0].itemUuid

so if one is null, it'll fill in. it's the samething

[violet meadow]

const tokenD = args[0].workflow.token;
const actorD = args[0].actor;
const targetD = args[0].failedSaves[0]

[hasty jackal]

two questions, if i want to create an effect that absorbs a damage (for example if creature takes fire damage absorbs half of it) what i would need to do and if i want to add "reflects damage back to the attacker" like armor of agathys if is possible?

[violet meadow]

Retribution sample item from the MidiQOL compendium is your how to for the reflect damage back

Absorbs meaning that is healed by that or resistant to the damage?

[umbral basin]

Do you mean to change

const tokenD = canvas.tokens.get(args[0].tokenId);
const actorD = tokenD.actor;
const target = canvas.tokens.get(args[0].failedSaves[0].id);

to

const tokenD = args[0].workflow.token;
const actorD = args[0].actor;
const targetD = args[0].failedSaves[0]

?

[violet meadow]

Yes

[hasty jackal]

healed by the damage

[violet meadow]

Check absorption midi flags

[hasty jackal]

okay

[violet meadow]

Is it me or something off on the MidiQOL screenshot and the version is not shown?

Anyway I had made a macro for that, which I checked on the latest versions of MidiQOL and DAE

I can share later

[violet meadow]

Or use target and not targetD

Whatever you use later in the macro

[umbral basin]

async function wait(ms) {return new Promise(resolve => {setTimeout(resolve, ms);});}

I think I fixed what you said ^

await args[0].actor.update({"system.resources.legres.value": args[0]. actor.system.resources.legres.value+1})

^ Can I use this?

To make this macro also give resources 😂

[violet meadow]

Yeah

[umbral basin]

Where would be the best to add it? I always seem to missplace it

[violet meadow]

You can put it in the end, or pretty much wherever 😁

The const item might be undefined though

What version of midi are you on?

And probably in the first conditional you probably need to use || instead of &&

[umbral basin]

Now it works 😄

Thank you

Ill check my Midi version

im on v 41¨of Midi

[violet meadow]

Ok you can use const sourceItem = args.item; then

Or however you want to call it

[rotund mountain]

my Midi is 10.0.37
I'll keep my eyes open 🙂

[vast bane]

enable roll automation is off on the players client, not account, they have to confirm it on their end.

[vast bane]

you are behind in versions, the two newest dae/midi's are the most stable releases, update.

[rotund mountain]

ah I will do this thanks 🙂

[violet meadow]

await sourceActor.setFlag("dae", "onUpdateTarget", flagValue);
}
}

Create a DAE on the Item, with transfer to actor on equip and an effect for macro.itemMacro | Custom |

Let me know, if you increase the HP of the actor twice in a row, what does happen?

[static sparrow]

@modern badger Version two, thanks to thatlonelybugbear. Put the following macro on the weapon, midi OnUse macro set to call ItemMacro for All passes; give it limited uses however you want that to be set up, 4 per day, charges with a recovery of 1d4, I don't remember. I think I changed like four things from thatlonelybugbear's example so really all the credit goes to them.

const {macroPass,isCritical,workflow} = args[0] ?? {};
    if (!macroPass || !item || !actor || !workflow) return ui.notifications.error("Error with item");
    if (macroPass === "preItemRoll") {

        workflow.config.needsConfiguration = false;
        workflow.options.configureDialog = false;
        return true;
    }
    else if (macroPass === "DamageBonus") {
        const charges = item.system.uses.value;
        if (!charges) return;
        const labels = ["None", "One", "Two", "Three", "Four"];
        const content = `<center>How many charges? Available: ${charges}</center>`

        async function dialogAsync(){
            return await new Promise(async (resolve) => {
                new Dialog({
                    title : "[[REPLACE ME WITH THE NAME OF THE FEATURE]]" , 
                    content,

                           resolve(i);               
                    }}))
                }).render(true);
            })
        }
        let damageDice = await dialogAsync();
        if(!damageDice) return {};
        await item.update({"system.uses.value": charges - damageDice});
        const damageFormula = new CONFIG.Dice.DamageRoll(`${damageDice}d4[piercing]`, {}, {
            critical: args[0].isCritical ?? false, 
            powerfulCritical: game.settings.get("dnd5e", "criticalDamageMaxDice"),

        }).formula
        return {damageRoll: damageFormula, flavor: "[[REPLACE ME WITH YOUR DESIRED FLAVOR TEXT]]"};
    }```

I'm sure someone else could pick it apart and tell me better ways to do everything but JS is not my native language and Foundry is not my native environment, haha.

Wait how do I make Discord do syntax highlighting?

[vast bane]

```js
Code here
```

[violet meadow]

What is the description of this item?

[static sparrow]

I think they posted a li'l screenshot of it but I don't remember the exact text; the gist is that when you hit with the weapon, you can expend a number of charges to deal an extra 1d4 piercing damage per charge.

[violet meadow]

Take a look at this <#1010273821401555087 message>

You can get away with no actual updates to the Item. Use instead a DamageBonus macro

[static sparrow]

Unrelated to adapting this to that person's use case, just for my own education, but why are you calling update on args[0].actor.items.getName(item.name) instead of just item?

[violet meadow]

no reason at that point. Remnant of older reused code

[static sparrow]

Gotcha, gotcha.

[violet meadow]

Although it needed a small change to define item properly. And with the newer MidiQOL you can also define it as args.item

[modern badger]

:ooo

thankye!

[gaunt python]

Hi folks. Once again in need of some help 😅
I am trying to automate a cursed item:

Curse. This item is cursed. When you hit a creature with an attack, you also take 2d10 necrotic damage and must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or have disadvantage for 1 hour on any ability check or saving throw that uses Strength or Constitution. You are unwilling to part with the staff until the curse is broken with remove curse or similar magic.

So far, I have the cursed weapon and made the curse a separate feature item that I thought to roll via OnUse ItemMarco (checking if hitTargets.length > 0 and then do a item.roll).
I added a active effect to the curse item that handles all the disadvantages and gets applied on a failed save. So far, when testing, this part works.
What does not work is the 2d10 damage to self from the curse. If rolled for a save, midi handles the roll, but I have to manual roll the damage and it does not get applied to the actor. What am I missing?

Oh, and if anyone has a good idea how to handle the magic weapon that has been cursed, I'd appreciate it. So far I am using Magic Item module and added a spell item handling the charges, but I was considering to butcher some macros and go the OnUse route:

This staff has 3 charges and regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn.
The staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff. On a hit, it deals damage as a normal quarterstaff, and you can expend 1 charge to deal an extra 2d10 necrotic damage to the target. In addition, the target must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or have disadvantage for 1 hour on any ability check or saving throw that uses Strength or Constitution.

[vast bane]

When I make cursed permenant items, I just put a trap item on my avatar to roll on the user the first time it matters cause the players almost immediately sus it out and I don't see a point in masking the permenant item. I put the description of the cursed item in the trap item on the avatar and copy/paste it after the "trap has sprung"

[violet meadow]

Is the curse damage always on, or when you use a charge for the extra damage?

You also don't need a secondary 'cursed' Item. You can put all the logic in an onUse macro, triggered when using the original Staff

[coarse mesa]

Yeah I never considered putting the nasties in the itemmacro but it’s perfect as the player won’t have a clue

[vast bane]

CPR's potion of poison is a great example of a hidden item

[gaunt python]

the curse damage is "always on" as long as the attack hits a target. ,

[violet meadow]

That is one mean item

and makes it a bit more convoluted

[gaunt python]

Yeah, I know... well, it came with a big "better not steal these ominous items from the dead dude who dabbled in dark stuff" warning, which my players totally ignored. The player who chose to use the item totally loves it, that it is cursed and really goes all in RPing the "not parting willingly" part while the rest of the party is not onto it being a cursed item. And as we enter a dungeon crawl, I thought to automate what originally was just meant to be a MacGuffin.

[violet meadow]

ok let me crunch some numbers

[opaque current]

Kind of offtopic but I am very curious how powerful the staff attacks are to warrant dealing 2d10 damage to self!

[violet meadow]

I would expect it only to happen if you expend a charge to deal more damage to the target.

And probably I would also expect it to force the wielder to use as many charges as it has with maybe a high CHA save to avoid.

But that's me and barely on topic too 😄

[gaunt python]

This staff has 3 charges and regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn.
The staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff. On a hit, it deals damage as a normal quarterstaff, and you can expend 1 charge to deal an extra 2d10 necrotic damage to the target. In addition, the target must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or have disadvantage for 1 hour on any ability check or saving throw that uses Strength or Constitution.

It's from a community made side-quest supplement for my current campaign and I never intended it to be a serious item, just a plot device and something to teach the rookies in my group that there are cursed items, so better not to fiddle with everything you can get your hands on, if your cleric is not prepared to beg their goddess to save your sorry asses. So there was not much thought about how to balance it. It's only now that the Tabaxi Monk player deems that the staff is her new toy, because the old one got boring and it's really sweet to play out that I've been thinking about it. And I think I will take thatlonelybugbear his idea and modify the curse a bit.

Anyhow, thanks for the macro 😍 Will study it to learn for futures use cases

[violet meadow]

No worries.
How do you deal with the charges? You can incorporate that in the same macro if you don't mind a dialog pop up when the player attacks, asking if you want to expand a charge (if one is available).

[gaunt python]

First thought was to use Magic Item module, but adding in to the macro seems smart. And now that you planted the idea in my head, I am really thinking of redesigning the curse and the workflow 😄
So it would be: roll attack > hit ? > CHA save for 1x (3x?) forced charge > apply weapon dmg to target > amplified dmg to target and self > CON save target/self for disadv AE ?

[violet meadow]

Hahaha yeah it can be done like that more or less.
I can work something out later when I have time 😉

[sour mica]

Reposting my question here from #dnd5e:

Does anyone have any advice on automating the Path of the Totem Warrior's Wolf Totem Spirit (grant advantage for allies attacks against enemies adjacent to you) in Foundry?

I tried to set it up with MidiQOL + DAE + Active-Auras and have an aura that sets the midi-qol.grants.advantage.attack.mwak/swak fields for adjacent enemies. That works, but the issue is it applies advantage for everyone (including the barbarian). Is there another way I can approach this?

[short aurora]

I believe Active Aura has an include or exclude self checkbox?

[vast bane]

That only applies for activated auras not persistent passive auras fwiw

[short aurora]

Works fine for me, just still shows on the character sheet

Like the active effect is there, the effects don't seem to be

[vast bane]

is it rolled?

[sour mica]

If I try and make an attack with the triggering barbarian they still are listed as having advantage.

[short aurora]

Just passive

[vast bane]

if its transfer on equip, you can't stop it from applying to the source actor

[short aurora]

Try this box for your aura

The active effect will show, but in my testing, does not give the actual effects

[vast bane]

what is the effect

on the source actor it doesn't show on the sheet but will show in the mods

[sour mica]

This checkbox does work, you're right. But what are the effects you have in this to make it give advantage only to enemies adjacent to the barbarian?

[short aurora]

Oh, only adjacent? I'd probably just give it a... what, 2.5 feet radius?

So it's just the squares next to them

[sour mica]

Wolf. While you're raging, your friends have advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature within 5 feet of you that is hostile to you. The spirit of the wolf makes you a leader of hunters.

This is the feature I'm trying to implement.

So any allies of the barbarian (regardless of distance) get advantage against enemies adjacent to the barbarian.

[vast bane]

have it set to hostile, and a grant advantage flag

[sour mica]

Yupp, that's what I did. But that gives advantage to the barbarian too. Once the grant advantage flag is set I don't think the "apply to self" is relevant any more.

[vast bane]

make it use an evaluation all allies not named bob

instead of 1 in effect value look up activation conditions

[gaunt python]

would something on the line of OnUse Before Attack roll > midiQoL.findNearby(target / distance 5ft ) > check result for barbarian > alter roll, grant advantage work? would have to add it to all allies, so nah, would not work 😅

[vast bane]

it'd be easier to just put an evaluation in the key since you gotta do a 1 there anyway

[sour mica]

Oh! I can put an evaluation into the midi flag?

[vast bane]

yep

[violet meadow]

Evaluation in flags

Frack my phone

[sour mica]

This should solve it, thanks everyone!

[vast bane]

if its a hostile effect though, you need to make sure that midi doesn't try to transfer the aura to everyone

[violet meadow]

No aura. Wait I should read this. Why an aura?

[vast bane]

nm its an aura not a template

Everyone within 5ft of the origin actor thats hostile should get a grant advantage flag with an evaluation to allies of the source actor that aren't named Bob(source actor)

I don't think 2.5 is gonna cut it cause diagonals are 5ft

[sour mica]

Yeah I had it set to 5 before and it seemed to apply the aura properly.

I was just missing the evaluation in the flag.

[sour mica]

As Moto mentioned, it's an aura because it applies to all enemies within 5 feet of the barbarian.

[vast bane]

is the aura activated?

[gaunt python]

If you feel like it, I would much appreciate it. But no stress ☺️

[sour mica]

This seems like it should be something easy to do but for the life of me I can't get it to work. I looked through the midi documentation and can't seem to find the answer either. How would I properly evaluate the attacking actors name in the flag? I've tried a few iterations of the attached image but can't get it to properly evaluate to false.

[vast bane]

Custom not override

that evaluation is probably wrong too

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

[sour mica]

Thanks! This should help. I 'll swap it to custom and take a look through these examples to see if I can get it working.

I got it working. I wasn't aware that it was the rollData that was being used in the evaluation not the entire actor. Thanks again for all the help @vast bane

[violet meadow]

Should it be one charge per use, after the CHA save, to make it less deadly or all 3 at once or should the user decide?

[gaunt python]

yeah, let's make it less deadly for both ends of the stick 😅

[modern badger]

might I ask what UI module ur using for items? it pretty owo

[gaunt python]

That would be the tidy5e sheets module: https://github.com/sdenec/tidy5e-sheet

[modern badger]

used it and it works perfectly :3 I love that it separates the damage rolls and lets u add flavor text, thankye v much!

[modern badger]

I have tidy5e and mine don look like that .3.

ooooooooooh

there's a separate option for item sheets

😅

ye!

[gaunt python]

yeah.. there are a couple separate default sheets 🙂

[violet meadow]

sooooo try this as an Item MidiQOL onUse ItemMacro | All

Oops wrong reply

Ah lol it was almost a correct reply 😄

[violet meadow]

Staff of Decay homebrew.

The staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff. On a hit, it deals damage as a normal quarterstaff, and you can expend 1 charge to deal an extra 2d10 necrotic damage to the target. In addition, the target must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or have disadvantage for 1 hour on any ability check or saving throw that uses Strength or Constitution

Curse. This item is cursed. When you hit a creature with an attack, you are forced to spend a charge or try to fight it (CHA save DC15).
If you spend a charge willingly or fail the save, you also take 2d10 necrotic damage and must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or have disadvantage for 1 hour on any ability check or saving throw that uses Strength or Constitution. You are unwilling to part with the staff until the curse is broken with remove curse or similar magic.

In the macro below you need to add a || !target in the check to return in the last macroPass for postActiveEffects.

The Staff should have its details page more or less like so

The 2d6[necrotic] secondary damage formula is there by mistake. No need to provide any extra damage info or save.
It will do 2d10[necrotic] when needed, doubled up for a crit hit as is right now.

Also check the Full Dam Save box in the bottom MidiQOL Item Properties

That was freaking fun 😄

[gaunt python]

Thank you sooo much 😍

[violet meadow]

Let me know if it works ok, as this might have some issues with different MidiQOL settings

[gaunt python]

Will do. Have to leave atm, but I sure will test it tonight.

[sleek glacier]

how do you do this? i copied the macro in the small On Use Macros Field under Midi qol Fields... but nothing seem to happen...

when i click on item Macro at the top of the spell (besides DAE) there's no entry, is that fine?

[vast bane]

paste the macro into them

I actually don't think the macro works after learning more about macros

I think that macro only works on owned tokens

[sleek glacier]

hmm

well then, i'll do it by hand for now ^^

[vast bane]

Needs a midiqol function to delete other tokens effects, or to run as GM via advanced macros

[sleek glacier]

not really worth the hassle i think

[vast bane]

put it in an effect macro on creation

then it will work

[sleek glacier]

just found your macro via the search option, so i thougt it was working 😄

[vast bane]

make the effect 6 second duration

change the definition of targetedToken to token

if you change the definition of targetedToken to token and put it in an effect macro that lesser restoration applies to a target token, then it should work

This lets you get past editing unowned tokens by leveraging midi's effect transfer to get to the token and then run it on the target actor, I think the dialog will pop up on the target owners screen though

[sleek glacier]

little fast for slow me 😄 but will try that...

[vast bane]

alternatively the e.delete function needs to be changed to MidiQOL.executeAsGM

Delete this line:
let [targetedToken] = game.user.targets.values();

The next line down change it to:
let availableValidEffects = token.actor.effects

This should be put in on creation Effect Macro(this is a module, Effect macro)

Lesser Restoration, Effect macro On creation.

let VALID_EFFECT_LABELS = ["Blinded", "Deafened", "Paralyzed", "Poisoned"];

let availableValidEffects = token.actor.effects
    .filter(e => VALID_EFFECT_LABELS.includes(e.label))

if(availableValidEffects.length < 1){
    ui.notifications.warn("No conditions exist on this creature which are removeable by Lesser Restoration.");
    return;
}

let dialogButtons = availableValidEffects
    .map(e => Object({
        label: e.label,
        callback: () => {e.delete();}
    }))

let dialog = new Dialog({
    title: "Lesser Resoration Condition Selection",
    content: ``,
    buttons: dialogButtons
})

dialog.render(true);

@sleek glacier

You can replicate this with greater restoration and Heal as well removing even more effects

[sleek glacier]

hmm have the module installed XD but not sure where to insert it 😄 edit the spell, right Effect section and add a temporary effect?

yeah i got it 😄
party... had to choose which effect too, thats really nice thyvm 🙂

[hot flower]

ok. i'm a little bumfuzzled. I'm trying to automoate this: When a creature the thug gang boss can see targets it with an attack, the thug gang boss chooses an ally within 5 feet of it. The thug gang boss swaps places with the chosen ally, and the chosen ally becomes the target instead.

Would this be a plain old reaction with an ItemMacro? A DAE macro, onUse macro? how would I even start. Basically, I want it to interrupt the workflolw, swap tokens, retarget the new token, and continue the workflow. Just not sure where to call the reaction or the ItemMacro.

[hot flower]

I think I got staggering smite to work correctly.

i can see how @scarlet gale swapped tokens in his Bait and Switch automation. Just thought I might be able to adapt that.

[vast bane]

I really need to learn how to move tokens with a prompt. I got like 3 things I want to automate that way.

thorn hawip and a custom grappling hook weapon that pulls a target towards the attacker

[dark canopy]

[spring dove]

@molten solar You told me to check here for the macro?

[gaunt python]

Hmm... so far, the dialogAsynch does not seem to get triggered and during the course of the workflow 2x1 charges are used, one at the beginning and one at the end. Will add some debug logs to see if I can trace the workflow.
Other then that, damage and ae are being applied just fine 👌

[violet meadow]

DMing you an Item export

[spring dove]

So, I need some help.

I have this macro @molten solar wrote for me. It checks if the attack roll was 10 or more over the target's AC, then adds an extra damage dice to the damage roll. I need to modify it so it checks if the attack roll was 5 or more over the target's AC, then roll an extra damage dice at the start of each of the victim's turn. This effect should end when the victim rolls a successful Constitution saving throw against the DC set in the weapon's details.

let workflow = args[0].workflow;
if (workflow.hitTargets.size != 1) return;
let targetToken = workflow.targets.first();
let targetActor = targetToken.actor;
let doExtraDamage = false;
if (workflow.attackTotal - 10 >= targetActor.system.attributes.ac.value) doExtraDamage = true;
if (workflow.isCritical) doExtraDamage = true;
if (!doExtraDamage) return;
let damageFormula = workflow.damageRoll._formula;
let diceNum = 1;
//if (workflow.isCritical) diceNum = 2;
let bonusRoll = ' + ' + diceNum + 'd' + workflow.damageRoll.terms[0].faces + '[' + workflow.damageRoll.terms[0].options.flavor + ']';
let roll =  await new Roll(damageFormula + bonusRoll).roll({async: true});
await workflow.setDamageRoll(roll);

The effect is called Wound. When a character attacks with a wound weapon and the attack roll is at least 5 higher than the target AC, the target takes an additional damage dice in damage at the start of its next turn. At the end of its turn, it can roll a Constitution saving throw against the source actor's Weapon DC, which is 8 + prof + STR/DEX. I can set that DC in the weapon's details.

[violet meadow]

[spring dove]

thanks

[scarlet gale]

Have your macro create a midi overtime effect on the target

[spring dove]

Can you help me with that

Actually, that wouldn't work, the condition damage is dependent on what item gave that condition to the target.

[violet meadow]

As Chris mentioned, this sounds like OT. Base it on the Life stealing item in the MidiQOL samples

[coarse mesa]

I’m just trying to process that Zhell wrote a midi macro

[violet meadow]

That seems like something Chris would write tbh 😄

[coarse mesa]

Yeah if the overtime AE is on the item the damage can be whatever you like for that particular item

[coarse mesa]

setDamageRoll() ?

[violet meadow]

all of the 3 last lines

[violet meadow]

Is that a known Item? I could give a title if others might need it, to be found easier with a search

[gaunt python]

It was called 'Staff of Decay' and pretty sure it was a homebrewed MacGuffin. So, I guess, not many will search for this item explicitly. But the solution to the curse mechanic is quite neat. I hope someone finds a use for that.

[vast bane]

Someone pinged Zhell in midiqol, thats asking for some serious wrath.

That can't be a chris macro because it doesn't have excessive use of this

[gaunt python]

Déjà vu

[vast bane]

holy cow, league swooping in and saving foriens unidentified items

[coarse mesa]

I asked up in #513918036919713802 what’s going on as there are no update notes. Did anything significant change? It was pretty buggy last time I tried it

No response yet

[vast bane]

its a league revival so probably just manifest fixed

[coarse mesa]

It’s been with the league for a while yeah

[vast bane]

4535992 is the person who revived it

https://github.com/League-of-Foundry-Developers/foundryvtt-forien-unidentified-items/pull/37

[coarse mesa]

I should be able to tell pretty quickly if it’s been fixed. The issue we had was the window that you drag the masking item into would only work occasionally

[short aurora]

honeybadger is still teasing us with a little wait before their module that should handle a lot of the same usecases

archon was the codename unsure if that will be end name, for when you need to scour package-releases

[coarse mesa]

Super looking forward to that. I also really hope the system implements it though, then it might get used in official adventures

[dark canopy]

https://youtu.be/Ba4hhwD2to8 its coming along 🙂 need the unmask function now

[coarse mesa]

Of course you went straight to using it for nefarious purposes

@empty fable here.

[empty fable]

test

now it works. gonna post again then:
A player of mine obtained a magic item from Griffon's Saddlebag and its ability feels rather complicated for me to automate.
So i want to ask if anyone can help me set it up so the feature of the weapon automatically gets rolled for etc.
Item for reference:
"You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. When you hit a target with this weapon, you can choose to roll a second d20 before calculating the weapon's damage. If you roll an 11 or higher on the second d20, the blade magically seeks out and hits the weakest point of the target, turning the attack into a critical hit. On a roll of 10 or lower, the blade ricochets harmlessly off the original target and scores a critical hit against you, instead. When the axe hits you in this way, its damage ignores resitances and immunity."

I took the greataxe item from the compendium and modified it to be a magical +1 greataxe. so far so good but now i have no idea on how to implement the feature that comes with the item.

[vast bane]

Do you actually have midiqol?

I don't think any player would use that item past the first attack with it though so are you sure you want to automate it?

[gaunt python]

With reaction features, is there a way to use the activiation condition to check if the trigger was a ranged attack?

[vast bane]

Bugbears been sharing this a bunch, its now possible with the latest midi's but I don't recall the code to use.

search for isAttacked

[empty fable]

i do have midiQOL and all i want to automate is a that a request is being sent as to wether he wants to use the feature or not and if he does then it should prompt him to roll 1d20. the targeting and auto crit we can do manually.

[violet meadow]

Not yet.
For now you will need a macro. Essentially you create an Item:
a. Reaction Manual,
b. Item onUse MidiQOL macro: ItemMacro | After Active Effects
and a DAE on the Item with:

1. transfer to actor on item equip,
2. Effect: flags.midi-qol.onUseMacroName | Custom | ItemMacro,isAttacked.
   Paste this macro in the Item Macro: ```js
   //Midi 10.0.41 verified

if (args[0].macroPass == "isAttacked") { // this will be executed when the actor with the onUseMacroName flag isAttacked.
const { [0]:{ workflow:{item:attackingItem} }, item:reactionItem } = args ?? {};
if (attackingItem.system.actionType == "rwak") {
const activation = duplicate(reactionItem.system.activation)
activation.type = "reactiondamage";
await reactionItem.update({"system.activation":activation});
return true;
}
else return true;
}
else { // this will be executed when the Reaction Item is used, After Active Effects.
const reactionItem = args.item;
const activation = duplicate(reactionItem.system.activation)
activation.type = "reactionmanual";
await reactionItem.update({"system.activation":activation});
}

Oh shite. Nope. Will need to change it

Oh I like the repurposed macro 😄

Add it to the item and set the OnUse to "Before Attack Roll".

ps: no need to remove the line await game.dice3d?.showForRoll(roll); //remove this line, if no 3D dice are used.

it will just do nothing if no DSN is used https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Optional_chaining

wow can I get this by default for all lol

Is it possible to make a world script that puts an active effect on players when they finish a long rest?

I'm trying to come up with a hands free no hassle way to track when they last benefitted from a long rest

right now I have to constantly check my session posts to remember the time of day it happened on

[gaunt python]

Sounds like a FR for Rest Recovery 5e?

[violet meadow]

is that long rest completed or any rest?

wow! thanks

[digital lagoon]

Does the Roll Groups (https://github.com/krbz999/rollgroups) module work with MidiQOL?

[vast bane]

no

[digital lagoon]

Aw

Is there something like it that will work?

I don't like having to redo the item description every time I use a flametongue greatsword for example

[vast bane]

what are you looking for?

Flametongue I deal with with a warpgate macro I believe

[digital lagoon]

Choosing whether a weapon deals a certain kind of damage

[vast bane]

I think you need to fix your name here before you get yelled at btw

[digital lagoon]

I think it's funny

[vast bane]

They won't

[digital lagoon]

Fine

[opaque current]

Doesn't a flame tongue just deal regular damage plus some fire

[vast bane]

only when its ignited

[digital lagoon]

Yes, but you have to activate it first

[vast bane]

oh, my flametongue I did lazy

I just have the bonus action feature that gives them a bonus to mwak damage

With advantage reminder

[gaunt python]

babonus territory perhabs?

[opaque current]

Fair enough. In the absence of roll groups, I would just make 2 swords. But the second is weightless and includes the fire damage.

[vast bane]

probably, I never know how to do babs, I just take ones given to me lol

[digital lagoon]

Mwak?

[opaque current]

Melee weapon attack

[gaunt python]

so true 😅

[vast bane]

I handle the flametongue this way:

The first main item is the weapon, it has a transfer on equip macro.createitem that gives the bonus action feature

Bonus action feature rolls to self and applies an ae that gives a light and adds the advantage reminder message to the actors mwak damage popouts. My setup only works if you don't fast forward and install advantage reminder.

I really need to add the VAE button for that item

I'm sure theres a more automated method

[opaque current]

An Optional BAB might be really good for this actually

[vast bane]

it'd probably be in the form of a dae item macro warpgate on the sword

optional bab is not compatible with midiqol fast forward

[violet meadow]

Just add an AE for the extra damage and enable disable it accordingly

[opaque current]

You said you arent fast forwarding

[violet meadow]

Ah strike that

[vast bane]

good point, I return to this statement however:

it'd still wind up being something I make on an ae, so since I already made it with AR, no sense in doing extra work

[gaunt python]

What GS item is it? I will add its name to the macro, just in case someone else is looking for it.

[violet meadow]

Put the damage on other formula . Activation condition false.
It will not roll it

[opaque current]

Do you ever actually use the sword with 2 hands? If not just set the damage as Versatile

[violet meadow]

Make it true and it will roll

[empty fable]

War's Wager

[opaque current]

Piece of cake

[empty fable]

@gaunt python im also having trouble implementing your macro. i put it onto the item macro scrip section but when trying to execute the macro or test it out with the attack it does nothing. is there anything i have to change in the script?

[opaque current]

And with BAB:

[vast bane]

console errors?

[opaque current]

So many options and none require fiddling with macros for hours

[empty fable]

VM52656:4 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: undefined. Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'actor')

[vast bane]

If the macro is sound, I'm pretty certain your issue is

hah

bam, mic drop

if you are a midiqol user, and you ever ever ever see an error in the console for itemacro you are midiqol'ing wrong.

[narrow saddle]

Hi there,

Might be a Macro Polo question however does anyone know what I can add to rage so that if the actor is concentrating on a spell the concentration auto goes down? When they rage.

[vast bane]

Midiqol hijacks the module Item Macro and turns it into a pure storage device and does NOT play well with its actual features

[empty fable]

so remove item macro?

[vast bane]

I find that auto ending conc is a very painful automation to use as it can be done accidentally and conc ending is not easily reversed, its better to always handle this with manual deletion of conc by the DM

[vast bane]

what does the image say?

[empty fable]

the box is unchecked and not working, thats why i was asking if it needs to be removed.

[vast bane]

Alternatively, janky solution, make rage require concentration.

[narrow saddle]

I forgot last night, and the Barb/Bard's suggestion spell ran on far too long after he started raging. I am getting old and forgetful ;-p

[vast bane]

nah that wouldn't work it'd make you roll and end rage early

a message to chat helps

I do this with a bunch of spells

like Command

[opaque current]

Fairly 🧠 move if you ask me

Although wouldnt you have to make it a spell

[vast bane]

I would actually not make rage use conc

[opaque current]

Or can you require Conc via AE

[vast bane]

I'd make it toggle conc

if you make it use concentration, then suddenly rage makes con saves and ends early if you fail

if you make it have a macro.ce custom concentration then it will toggle it offf I think

or worse casew, add the toggle macro to it

If it were my game, I'd put an effect macro on rage, on creation, that is simply a chat message to everyone: "Hey delete conc on this barb cause lawl"

rage already has a macro on it so you can just append on the end using the same already defined variables to pull off the toggle effect, make sure you await the toggle

[gaunt python]

Have you set the OnUse Macro to 'ItemMacro' (case sensitive) and 'Before Attack Roll'?

[vast bane]

dfreds CE gives you a proper toggle bane effect in a compendium

[empty fable]

that was the issue, thanks!

[vast bane]

actually easier solution @narrow saddle if you have effect macro, do an on creation effect macro on rage to just delete conc

you already own the ae, so theres no point in leveraging midi or dfreds

let effectNameFallBack = "Shield Master" //Define the name of your shield master feat
let effectName = actor.effects.find(e => e.label === effectNameFallBack); // Find the effect with the specified name
if (effectName) { // Check if the effect was found
  await effectName.delete(); // Remove the effect
  ui.notifications.notify(`Removed ${effectNameFallBack} effect from ${actor.name}.`); // Show a notification with the name of the removed effect
} else {
  ui.notifications.warn(`${actor.name} does not have ${effectNameFallBack} effect.`); // Show a warning if the effect was not found
}

change Shield Master to concentration

[narrow saddle]

I have EM for Chris' module.

[vast bane]

Put this in rage's on creation field in effect macro, change the name

if you don't like the notifications umI think you can just delete them

to remove them take out all the ui lines and then after the effect.delete line follow up with a singular }

to close out the if statement

this will only work as an effect macro as I'm not defining actor, instead just leveraging an EM helper

[gaunt python]

at the current state, the attack continues normal as soon as the choice is made. I will see, if I can learn some more to make it actually react to the result.

[narrow saddle]

Just testing it now.

HEADS UP

This thread's member limit has been reached - no additional users may join this thread.

If you are not active here, consider leaving the thread to make room for others in the short term.

This is the time to establish an official auxiliary server for Midi-QOL automation

I will pin links in this thread and the dnd5e thread for said server, please let me know.

@gilded yacht I want to alert you specifically, as your preferences/input are important here.

[vast bane]

Could just archive the thread and make another so that all the lost content is still searchable within dnd5e. That will more quickly remove the dormant users and make room.

[dark canopy]

i'd like to find a more permanent solution

[vast bane]

so with the removal of this thread, its not safe to talk about the module in the other 3 threads yes?

[dark canopy]

this thread hasn't been removed yet, and just as any other module, once domain specific knowledge is needed, we'll point to the appropriate aux server

[violet meadow]

It seems it's high time for this to be dealt with once and for all 😁

[vast bane]

this was always a solution for the non midi users

[violet meadow]

Foundry Gearheads could be a solution, if tposney doesn't have the time to deal with it completely.

[vast bane]

it already exists, its not going to effectively divert traffic away from the other channels. this was a more effective method imo

[dark canopy]

it will when instead of pushing here, we push to the other server

just like every other large module

[narrow saddle]

We do really need a Midi server separate to Foundry so that folk who really really hate Midi can choose not to join it.

[vast bane]

every other large module is allowed to be talked about in the other channels

[dark canopy]

and midi is as well, then we point to this thread for the best help

just happens to be midi does so much, basically anything midi needs to go in a specific midi context

furthermore, when its contained within foundry's channels, we'll punt immediately

notice how DDB and any ripper module is handled? help is provided until stuff gets weird, then moved

[narrow saddle]

I asked in DND5e about the concentrating solution, that you have provided for me Moto, and was told to come here because I use Midi for concentration automation.

[vast bane]

I mean I'm here, so I won't ship them off to another discord, the whole reason for ddb and levels getting shipped is cause no one knows the solution

[dark canopy]

and you dont need to 👍 moderators are here for redirecting

[vast bane]

maybe just give a role to the midi helpers so they can create a thread so it doesnt drown out the channels?

[dark canopy]

helpers can create threads already

[opaque current]

Honestly it's not gonna be particularly elegant. There are plenty of Midi users that will happily offer advice in #dnd5e or #513918036919713802, and that will generate a lot of posts which can drown out other queries. The question becomes do you ban talk of it altogether? Draw an arbitrary line somewhere?

[vast bane]

Id just archive this thread and make a new one, cause ultimately this was never about us, it was about the other users who didn't want us there

[dark canopy]

no one is banning talk 😩 all day every day, moderators see a convo drift, and nudge to a better location

[opaque current]

It's also an unusual case of telling a mod to get it's own discord, as opposed to the creator wanting to create one 🤔

[dark canopy]

despite what you may think, this was all to make sure midi users get the best help

[opaque current]

A nudge is a polite way of saying, talk about that somewhere else

[vast bane]

ok, but I'm honestly shocked the anti midi people aren't chiming in lol cause this is gonna be real apparent to them shortly that they didn't want this solution lol.

[raven holly]

We are just recognizing that the level of support needed for this module has outgrown all of the considerations that we have reasonably made to accommodate it.
We aren't banning talking about midi, we aren't expecting everyone to move over, we are just saying that the needs of that community have outgrown what we can reasonably provide, in being consistent with how we handle all other modules here.

[opaque current]

Well I don't imagine the thread will go anywhere, but it's not that useful for new people

[dark canopy]

anyone anti-anything here will be (as has been) addressed

[raven holly]

You 100% percent have that backwards. This thread was not created out of spite, it was made so that there was a clear place for users to receive support, due to the high demand for it.

[vast bane]

I'm all for this change, I'm just looking down the road at the obvious implications in #macro-polo #513918036919713802 #modules and #dnd5e when a broom can't be employed and I offer a solution to someone in them. I really don't think the usuals in those channels are going to like the uptick in midiqol conversations.

[dark canopy]

you can let the mod team worry about that 👍

[gaunt python]

The way I see it, it would be the same as MATT or BW: Sure, you can ask in #dnd5e or #513918036919713802 , but you'll be directed to the appropriate servers pretty quickly. And knowing that the detailed help is more likely to be found there, the regulars will soon move over and the occasional midi question here won't cause too much trouble.

[vast bane]

Sure, but the difference there is that Ripper and monk don't have people like me hanging out on this server 😉

[woven fog]

It's not even close to the first time modules and systems made their own servers to manage support of them.

[vast bane]

I genuinely am always lost with MATT so I never even try to help with those questions lol

[raven holly]

Where do you go when you need help with it though?

[vast bane]

CPR general discussion probably but I don't think Chris necessaruily wants to become the tech support for midi

[violet meadow]

For MATT?!

[vast bane]

If its a macro I'd probably ask chat gpt/macro polo.

I don't use matt

I use an avatar and fire my traps from that with the override key pressed

I don't really think I have many problems with midi itself atm, its almost always macro related now

[violet meadow]

One ... Function. MidiQOL.trapworkflow and Note Macro 😁

[gaunt python]

there is a trapworkflow?? whaaat? 😵

[vast bane]

I thought that was deprecated when trigger happy went bye bye lol

I use inline roll commands and an avatar actor with all my traps on them set as my assigned actor

this way I don't have to make a thousand macros and can just browse my avatar for a suitable trap to reuse

[violet meadow]

You will be surprised by how many things come along if you just type MidiQOL. or DAE. in console

[vast bane]

if anyone does go my route, beware that inline roll commands does not like the tinyMCE editor so unassign yourself from your avatar during prep, and only assign yourself to the avatar in live sessions

when you try to edit a journal with an inline roll command on it, it will error out if you use TinyMCE.

[gaunt python]

that is where trap premades with TA & MATT come into play 😄

[vast bane]

its due to how the image is made on the button

[vast bane]

yeah all that seems really clunky

I just filter my avatar, find the trap that fits and put the command in

but maybe it works for you and thats fine, I just felt that it was alot of work to do macros or matt compared to just using midi+an avatar

I also do not like real time movement in dungeons, I have players who do not behave well with real time movement

[gaunt python]

All good. Not gonna kink shame here 😉
I am just a sucker for animated traps 🤪

[vast bane]

Oh I have animations but they are triggered by me, not my players who then claim they didn't mean to move somewhere

[gaunt python]

Ah, I see. Yeah... My players learned the hard way "you wildly drag your token around and play video game? you better be ready to reap what you sow" xD
Anyway, BTT

[keen remnant]

I use monks active tile triggers for that

Player ran down a trapped corridor

Rolled 4 saves and went unconscious inside an armed trap, players did not get him and took a different path

[gaunt python]

@violet meadow Trying to learn more from your macro, is there a way to make the completeItemUse(pseudoItem) used for the curse a private roll?

[celest bluff]

Never had this issue with removal, although if you're trying to remove conc after a failed condition within on. It does have some timing issues. Midi does offer a concentrating check and removal pre-built in.

You can add in a wait for 500 - 1000 on apply depending on server latency and it should see it fine

[vast bane]

more of a style choice, its easier to just manually delete after everything is confirmed than to have automations end thanks to misclicks

[violet meadow]

I have been using the automation of concentration removal since forever.
Using it with NO + Damage Card and for the most part no issues.

Some macros might throw the workflow off but let's see the next iteration of workflow undo, for which tposney has worked out the concentration kinks 💪

[violet meadow]

Private roll? 🤔

Or GM whisper?

You should be able to inject a change of rollType or something

I don't remember it off the top of my head, but can take a look when I am home

[vast bane]

I know overtime does rollType

[gaunt python]

GM whisper would be more appropriate. Was trying to see, how to hide the curse part from the other players, but could not find (or more likely, lets face it: did not understand) in the midi wiki

[violet meadow]

Not something that I remember using before tbh

But you could change the message type

Like the chat message drop-down

Check the function and the midi code. It should have some indication of the parameters you can pass to it

Or ask in macro polo for a parameter when using the item.use()

MidiQOL will pretty much respect that

[gaunt python]

okay. will do. Thanks!

[hasty jackal]

it is possible to create a macro or effect for automatic warding bond?

this is the spell

[vast bane]

I'd suggest the warding bond in midi samples but its kinda old and may not be functional anymore

[hasty jackal]

is it on the compendium?

[vast bane]

I actually messed up, I was thinking of abjuration ward, warding bond is probably totally functional

[hasty jackal]

okay gonna look at it

[violet meadow]

Yeah I think it was working fine last I checked.
I clopied for a MidiSRD version I was working on

[covert mason]

I'm trying to get this Item Macro to roll the 'Eruption' item whenever these fists roll an 8 on the bludgeoning damage. I can't seem to get it to do so.

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()==="bludgeoning")?.results.map(r=>r.result);
const res = results.includes(8);
if (res) await pseudoItem.use();```

[signal kettle]

I've got a problem, where midi only automates attacks for self targeted rolls..

[gaunt python]

I assume the Fiery Fists always deal bludgeoning?

[covert mason]

Aye, they do

[gaunt python]

And I guess the Eruption is an effect the fists have on a max damage roll, yes?

[covert mason]

Yup!

[violet meadow]

Share a screenshot of the console log of the relevant roll

Does results get you what you need as it is defined?

[covert mason]

Nothin' in the console. I'll try log out the results

Nope, nothin' in the logs.

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()==="bludgeoning")?.results.map(r=>r.result);
const res = results.includes(8);
if (res) await pseudoItem.use();

console.log(res);```

[covert mason]

Not getting anything from this either.

console.log(results);

const eruptionData = game.items.getName("Eruption").toObject();
const pseudoItem = new Item.implementation(eruptionData, {parent: actor});
const targetRolls = [8];
const results = args[0].damageRoll?.dice?.find(d=>d.flavor?.toLocaleLowerCase()==="bludgeoning")?.results.map(r=>r.result);
const res = results?.some(r=>targetRolls.includes(r));
if (res) await pseudoItem.use();```

[coarse mesa]

@violet meadow @narrow saddle @strong yew care to test this for me? It now maps ammo types to weapons, I have added a dark mode boolean at the top – it should also be less annoying, if there's only one ammo left it will switch to it automatically and not present the dialog. Will leave the positioning thing for @short aurora's module since they can save window position in settings

[gaunt python]

I just did some tests

const results = args[0].damageRoll?.dice?.find(d=>d.flavor?.toLocaleLowerCase()==="bludgeoning")?.results.map(r=>r.result).includes(8);

does resolve to true or false accordingly. What is your ItemMacro Evaluation set to?

[violet meadow]

Good point. You need to have the dice roll results in, before executing this macro

So After Damage Roll at least.

[violet meadow]

I will sometime tomorrow. But I believe in you so 👏

[coarse mesa]

that 24 hr deadline was weighing on me 😅

[narrow saddle]

Amazingly brilliant.

I tested it with a longbow and two types of ammo, arrows and arrows +1.

Then added crossbow bolts to the inventory and those didn't show up as an option for the Longbow. 🙂

[violet meadow]

Just trying to motivate people 😁

[coarse mesa]

great! i've only really tested with crossbows and longbows, since we don't use firearms etc – but don't see why it wouldn't work

[gaunt python]

@covert mason Try this and set the Evaluation to "After Active Effects":

console.log(args)
const hasMaxRoll = args[0].damageRoll?.dice?.find(d=>d.flavor?.toLocaleLowerCase()==="bludgeoning")?.results.map(r=>r.result).includes(8);
if(hasMaxRoll) {args[0].actor.items.getName("Eruption")?.roll()}

(quick'n'dirty. could be heavily sanitized, though 😅 )

[narrow saddle]

Also unlike the previous version, if there is only one type of ammo available, you don't get a choice of one type of ammo. You just get what is available. 🙂

[covert mason]

@gaunt python@violet meadow
So this is embarrassing. I hadn't even turned on the On-Use macro, let alone set it to "After Damage Rolls"

Pardon me while I sit in the Corner of Shame ™️

[violet meadow]

Been there done that 😁

[covert mason]

[violet meadow]

Look for Moto's initials under the bench 😂

[gaunt python]

See, as I still have much to learn, shall we consider this an exercise instead? 😄

Which brings me to my question: I cut the roll Eruption part short and skipped the pseudoItem part to just do a item.roll(), assuming the actor owns the item.
I guess the other way is if the item does not exist?

[covert mason]

I'd intended to do it so the actor doesn't need the Eruption feature on their sheet.

I didn't want to clutter up the features.

[gaunt python]

Ah, I see.

[hasty jackal]

how can i make a keen sense that works? it gives advantage on perception checks

im trying midiqol-flag advantage per but it doesnt work

[violet meadow]

It is an "item" you create only in memory

[covert mason]

It's incredibly useful!

[violet meadow]

Wrong key

That is performance

prc

[hasty jackal]

oooh that explains a lot

[gaunt python]

Neat. And is there any differences with that and .use() vs .roll()?

[violet meadow]

Try CONFIG.DND5E.skills in console

[violet meadow]

The way you pass the parameters in each one and .roll() will be deprecated sometime in the future

[gaunt python]

ah good to know. Gonna start checking my macros then, because I believe there are more than one that uses .roll() 😅

[violet meadow]

Also .evaluate() for Rolls instead of .roll()

[violet meadow]

Oh misread that

CompleteItemUse will be better most of the cases as MidiQOL will take care to wait for all the workflow to finish before continuing

https://gitlab.com/tposney/midi-qol#notes-for-macro-writers
Scroll down a bit for the midi function

[celest bluff]

Probably in the options syntax

[celest bluff]

You could probably bind an ammo selector with a shift key on the weapon.

Since ranged weapons don't tend to have versatile damage

[coarse mesa]

Oh yeah I was thinking what key would be suitable and that makes a lot of sense, if midi doesn’t mind

[violet meadow]

I can send you the lib wrapper for the item use ammo selection.

[celest bluff]

It wouldn't mind. In the workflow under roll Options has the boolean for it

[violet meadow]

Yeah don’t remember at all now

[celest bluff]

I also asked if we can hide roll cards with item roll but cannot. So guess just delete it

Since if you variable out the last promise, it gives you the final workflow

[violet meadow]

Yeah you could delete it by the args[0].itemCardId easily, as a GM though, or socket it through as a player

[celest bluff]

Players can delete chat cards they own

[violet meadow]

Ah then easier

[celest bluff]

So shouldn't be an issue.. At least in my game they have been able to

[violet meadow]

😅

[celest bluff]

We did find out out if you blank out the id, it will 100% override the item stats

I had issues where if the previous item had No damage roll, you couldn't add one afterwards

[violet meadow]

The id of the message?

[celest bluff]

Id of the item

_id = "" worked but gave an error. Think latest midi fixes the issue

Cause without that it would say damage roll is not possible with this item

[short aurora]

It was to save the dialog's position for next time you open it, right? If you don't want to wait, you can put the settings on the macro document by setting a flag with the window information and load it through the macro.

[vast bane]

We should immortalize that moment lol its somewhere back there.

OH boy:
#1010273821401555087 message

Oh how I've grown?

[coarse mesa]

I did consider that. I guess it could be an optional Boolean at the top also, I figured it was bad practice for a macro to be setting its own flag on an actor or user 🤷‍♂️

[short aurora]

Macro's flags are set in a separate scope, so I'd say it's acceptable/expected. Can I steal your CSS with credit for the module? I've started, but I'm intending to design some basic GUI for all the stuff coded into the macro, so still no eta on when the module itself will be available for general consumption. >_>

GUI is the devil's work

[coarse mesa]

Good to know, is there somewhere I can learn about flag scope? Or best just to ask in macro-polo? And yeah go for it, steal away. Tbh I could have used more foundry classes and color vars so it would play nicer with ui mods but I’m shooting from the hip here mostly haha

[short aurora]

You can definitely ask the gurus in #macro-polo and they will know more, I just recall that you set flags in scopes, and without a module, when you set one, it has to be in world scope. I tried finding the doc on the website, but no avail.

[coarse mesa]

Ah cool, makes sense. Thanks!

[rotund crag]

Hello friends!
I want my "undead" enemies to take damage every time they are healed. How can I set it up?

[gilded yacht]

With this thread reaching it's limit for the number of participants, the time has come to create a midi discord server which will happen soon (TM). I'm looking for suggestions for the server name.

[violet meadow]

Some more context is needed.
Is this the ability of a player? Is it always active or not?
Should all undead be damaged when someone casts healing spells on them?

[rotund crag]

My bad. Let me clarify. In some RPG games, if you try to heal an undead creature, it instead takes damage equal to amount of health it had to regenerate. I want to introduce this mechanic in my campaign.

[violet meadow]

So if you target an undead with a cure light wounds for instance it gets damaged instead of healed.

That would probably need a world script hooking on the midi predamageroll and changing the healing damageType to another damaging one

[inland vortex]

I want to make a stackable effect that does one point of damage/rd and subtracts one from all attack/save/skill rolls. What are the codes/flags that are used for damage over time and roll penalties?

[coarse mesa]

Before my time, but I noticed that Minor-QOL graduated to MIDI-QOL. Is this something you intend to carry on with? Major-QOL one day? If so I’d advise against calling it anything ‘Midi’. Even this thread is much bigger than just that module. I’ll have a think 😀

[rotund crag]

I see. I do not think this will be necessary then. Not that important.
I just saw "healing" in "Damage Vulnerabilities" tab, and thought it could be it. But it did not work .

I'd say Tposney's Modules is a nice safe conservative name, he does have other complicated modules like potentially a renewal of Trigger happy, and DAE

[inland vortex]

• so, how do I make a stackable effect for one point of damage per round?

[gilded yacht]

I inclined to suggest anything that implies the server is about general foundry QOL or automation is not ideal. There are many great modules that enhance automation which are not midi and it would be presumptuous to have a name that implies to be all encompassing. It does seem that the standard is author/system and then modules.

[violet meadow]

I mean based on that list it should just be -- yeah that 👆

[vast bane]

Could also ask those other adjacent discords if you wanted to merge or something too

sorta how jb2a does things

[coarse mesa]

In most cases the actual server name doesn’t correspond to that list

The ones I joined in that list do lol

Midiqol Cinematic Universe

Should probably get buy in from a moderator here who can help you manage the channels well since the guys here are quite professional.

[coarse mesa]

That’s pretty much gearheads, no?

[gilded yacht]

I've been yelled at in the past for having the effrontery to use the word midi in the module title when it does not have anything to do with music - I can see that causing issues when people are searching for a discord server.

[coarse mesa]

There is probably a lot of midi music software on the git sites lol

[gilded yacht]

The moderators here are very good, but I can't see them taking time to setup/suggest/administer another server - when they already have more than enough to do. However there are certainly openings available for those who want to volunteer to moderate/setup the midi-qol server.

[vast bane]

such a shame that you can't rename a server

[gilded yacht]

You can (fortunately)

[violet meadow]

ChatGPT answer to further prove what tposney said before.

Yes, I am familiar with the MidiQOL module for Foundry VTT. It is a third-party module that adds MIDI functionality to the Foundry Virtual Tabletop platform. This module allows users to play MIDI files within the platform, as well as trigger MIDI events using macros. The MidiQOL module provides a variety of options for configuring and customizing MIDI playback, including the ability to control volume, tempo, and instrument settings. It can be a useful tool for enhancing the atmosphere of a tabletop game or for providing musical cues during gameplay.

[vast bane]

oh then in that case, have you talked to the other midi adjacent discords to see if they'd be willing to take on the task? CPR seems to be the most popular, gearheads I left mainly due to inactivity.

[short aurora]

That sounds like just kicking the ball down the road, if those servers blossom bigger :p

[vast bane]

lol, was midiqol actually midi on september 2021?

[coarse mesa]

Who’s in charge of gearheads? Put Tim on the board and call it a day? The traffic will ramp up if this is closed down

[short aurora]

Considering tposney is the dev and the qol originated from your game, maybe just posneyQOL or something?

[gilded yacht]

Chatgpt must be filtering to make me feel good - this is what I got
Overall, MIDI-QOL enhances the Foundry VTT experience by automating repetitive tasks, providing one-click actions, and offering convenient features that improve the flow and efficiency of gameplay. It has become a popular tool among Foundry users for its ability to enhance the quality of life during tabletop role-playing sessions.
But ChatGPT has been known to lie and make stuff up.

[vast bane]

Whatever you decide I'll help out just as I always have been but I'm not that great at discord shennanigans, I manage my own discord for my 5 players but I offload the managemnt to one of my players lol.

[vast bane]

I think you have the beta where its learning live details about the world

[short aurora]

It does make sense for it to be a dev server, as Moto mentioned, DAE gets shooed here too

[gilded yacht]

True I do.

[short aurora]

tposneys poseys™

[vast bane]

If you are looking for themes or ideas on how to make it look, I really like CPR's discord, very solid setup

I wouldn't bother splitting your modules out, just a nice simple general discussion, and then give helpers the ability to make threads to help divert traffic into a quieter format to prevent too much spam.

[coarse mesa]

Gearheads is already pretty much the perfect setup for midi and dae

[vast bane]

I like CPR's github linkage and his issue tracker/feature request

[coarse mesa]

Ah true

[vast bane]

then again, tposney doesn't use github

[short aurora]

Not exclusive, can be both, but I do think it should be new

Let people "rejoin" a new server instead of absorbing whatever those users have set up for an existing server, and realistically tposney definitely should get official owner status

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/integrations/discord_notifications.html gitlab notifications should also work like githubs

[violet meadow]

Yeah I was reading about that.

[vast bane]

then again, midi does kinda have about 200 issues outstanding so maybe not link its issue tracker hehe

or maybe do, then the helpers can help clear some

[short aurora]

I'm game for helping out with the Discord but have only a modicum of experience

Lead a guild discord of like 40 max in an mmo level

but I think Foundry started as that so y'know

[violet meadow]

need more hands

[short aurora]

just have more hands

[static sparrow]

👐

(Casting Burning Hands at y'all.)

[gilded yacht]

I need to walk some dogs (before they eat the sofa), but will pick up on my return

[vast bane]

The only valuable thing I can supply is lots of time online and good knowledge of the module. If it wasn't for foot-in-mouth-itus, I'd probably fit as a good moderator.

[scarlet gale]

Lmk if you want a hand

[vast bane]

Of all the discords yours is by far the coolest looking and very functionally helpful.

Then again yours targets just one module

[violet meadow]

How do these look for roles?

[vast bane]

I'm good but what are each role exactly lol.

Tposney is top as dev, blue would be other mod devs, purple is moderator, orange is helpers, yellow and green are something else?

[violet meadow]

Owner sorcerer supreme
Guardian moderator
Sage developer
Adept helper
Patron supporter
Apprentice member

[molten nexus]

i think the roles are good names but that order seems odd

[violet meadow]

The order is off ... Discord failed me

[molten nexus]

as it does on mobile

im assuming it would be sorcerer supreme, guardian, adept, sage, apprentice, patron, based on the colors. Though i'd put sage above adept and patron above apprentice

[static sparrow]

Is there a midi Patreon?

[vast bane]

no I think its patron as in the actual term patron

[static sparrow]

That doesn't really clarify things for me, haha

[vast bane]

patron would be a user who contributes to the community vs a user who comes for help with it

I think I'd be a patron probably whereas Truth would be a member

[static sparrow]

That sounds like the proposed "Adept" role.

[violet meadow]

Patron would be maybe for supporters (Kofi and whatnot)

[vast bane]

Adept is more like what chris and bugbear and krig are

[static sparrow]

I mean, bugbear added little summaries, and Adept is "helper" while Patron is "supporter."

[vast bane]

I parade as a helper but I'm more like wildmagic sorcery, half the time I'm right and half the time I'm a potted plant

[short aurora]

tposney does have a kofi, but they should maybe add a patreon so we can (easier) moneyguilt him into developing

[static sparrow]

"Supporter" is like... giving tposney money.

[vast bane]

I'd call that role, room for potential but no immediate impact on the community setup

[static sparrow]

Avoiding moneyguilt is, I think, a very sensible reason not to have one XD

[molten nexus]

probably why his kofi is buried anyway lol

[vast bane]

the patron/patreon thing can be handled down the road we can just placeholder it for now. Roles look good, I think the ranking of roles is important so that the right color shows on the user though

[molten nexus]

my take on it:

🔴 Sorcerer Supreme - owner (red)
🟠 Guardian - moderator (orange)
🟡 Sage - developers (is green, should be yellow)
🟢 Adept - someone that's contributed in some informational/helpful way, but doesn't qualify as an above role (is yellow, should be green)
🔵 Patron - some sort of monetary support, connected by whatever platform (is purple, should be blue)
🟣 Apprentice - regular member (is blue, should be purple)

[vast bane]

Why change the colors though? Its not like any other similar discord mirrors it.

[molten nexus]

rainbow

[vast bane]

hah ok now you sold me

at first I thought you were trying to match it to cpr

[molten nexus]

nah chris doesn't put that much thought into server role colors

i however, do

[violet meadow]

That pretty much is the list yeah

[molten nexus]

though, there might be a need for a distinct "admin" role, for the person(s) that would have actual control over the server, since they would have more permissions than a moderator. Would either be inserted between owner and moderator, or the sorcerer supreme role could be both owner and admin

[spice kraken]

The downside of having names like that is that it won't be inherently obvious what all roles are. A potential workaround would be like an Index channel that would detail the purpose of each role (like my Destiny 2 clan has) but would be better (imo) if the names were more specific

For example, the only obvious role from that list would be the last one, the other names are bad

[molten nexus]

that's fair, the naming scheme should probably be brainstormed more, but in terms of what types of roles are needed

[opaque current]

Or it could go the simple route of having role names that indicate their purpose, as many servers including this one do 😄

[molten nexus]

psh

that's boring

[opaque current]

It's informative 🧠

Short is simple. Simple is sweet

[limpid saffron]

I was attempting to cast thundershock
But its not going away after casting
Using Midi QOL
Not sure why
And now the spell wont work at all with Midi QOL

Now im stuck with this icon

No damage application or saving throws

All AOE SPeels seem to break

[narrow saddle]

Regarding MidiQol and a stand alone discord server @gilded yacht
Keep it simple, keep it safe!
Nothing wrong with just simply -
MidiQol by TPosney
Keep it to invite only!
Also consider @scarlet gale method and keep members simple -

1. Developer (gods)
2. Testers/Helpers/Moderators
3. Regular Bods
   Last thing make sure that folk in number 2 are spread out from around the world.
   Australia/US/Europe would cover it.

I’d be willing to help from the UK, I’m not the most knowledgeable but I’m pretty good at netiquette 😎 and signposting 👀

[limpid saffron]

ANy help fixing AOE Spells?

[scarlet gale]

There an error message in console?

[limpid saffron]

I just managed to figure it out

Error in the Workflow section

:/

[proper robin]

Inclined to agree with this, keep the roles simple

[gaunt python]

Picking up where I stopped yesterday. I am looking to make the chat message of a CompleteItemUse a whisper to the player and the gm while the rest of the item macro can be public.
From what I found and understand, I have the result of the midi call and therefore the ItemCardId which I can then use to filter game.messages and make an update to it altering the whisper array.
Am I missing something, or is this the way?

[gilded yacht]

I'm inclined to a small set, Sorcerer Supreme (admin) , Guardian (moderator), Sage (helpers who do stuff), adept everyone else, supporter (those who have provided financial support). I don't think there's currently a need for a developer role as there's only one developer.

[orchid hound]

Do what you think is best and what works best for you to manage.

[gilded yacht]

Currently you can pass a rollMode in the options argument to completeItemUse, so if that would work for your case putting completeItemUse(item, {}, {rollMode: "gmroll"}) or whatever should work.

[gaunt python]

Awesome! Exactly what I needed and so much easier than to update the message 😅

[gilded yacht]

Absolutely happy (delighted) to have help. @violet meadow has kindly been helping, but I know nothing about discord and what best practice for setting up might be.

[narrow saddle]

My Nephew has come to stay with us, he is from Brisbane, I was just showing him how the set up is and how much I was paying to Ko-Fi and he said when you convert to AUD that is nothing, so I have increased my payment to Ko-Fi ha ha 🙂

[gilded yacht]

You are most kind and your nephew is a star 😉

[scenic lava]

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask but I don't see any channel for DAE. I am having an issue with an OverTime effect that doesn't appear to be firing. Can anyone assist?
