I couldn't get the animations to play from those menus. I tried following along with their website for finding the item IDs and hooks. But I can't really understand any of it and so can't get any further. I'd also like to know how to do this if you can figure it out. It looks pretty cool.

That looks like a system hook providing the weapon/item. I should easily be able to add support for this in A-A

verbal matrix Oct 18, 2022, 10:10 PM

#

This is Cyberpunk Red

next plank Oct 18, 2022, 10:15 PM

#

Yeah I looked at this one a while back, I wasn't able to add support for it. There are no system hooks, so the fallback is to look at the createChatMessage hook when and item is used. At a bare minimum A-A needs to find the item.id or item.uuid. Cyberpunk Red does pass the item.id in the Chat message, but it's buried deep and I couldn't figure out how to extract it

#

Plus the Damage and Attack rolls in the system are separate, so A-A would need some what to tell the two apart, or animations would run on both

#

I think it can be done with JQuery, but that's a bit out of my skill-set

verbal matrix Oct 18, 2022, 10:18 PM

#

lol, that'

#

lol that's fine, I dont have any of these skills. I don't even know how to use macros. But I kinda understood the wiki instructions so I just started looking.

#

The character sheets have two buttons the 'fist' that rolls for the attack, and a 'blood drop' that calls for the damage.

#

#

clicking the fist will bring up a modifer window and then submit the attack.

#

#

confirming the attack will generate this

If you can get it to fire the bullet animation and swing the club and sword that would be good enough!

Thank you for the help! I'm trying to get my friends to try another system other 5e. We mainly play 5e on Roll20. So moving into a system that doesn't have all the polish and support that 5e does can be hard for some of them.

There's a mod for 5e that handles Mob attack rules, and that dev put in support for A-A. He posted a video a while back of something like 30 goblins all firing arrows at once against the players lol

verbal matrix Oct 18, 2022, 11:19 PM

#

haha, someone is gonna have a bad day with that set up.

#

There is a function in Cyberpunk Red called suppressing fire where you just spray a ton of bullets and force an enemy to seek cover. That would be neat to animate a token fanning out a bunch of rounds.

#

But it's not super important as that is pretty situational. Shooting and swinging bats and knives is the core of it.

tardy harness Oct 18, 2022, 11:33 PM

#

Kinda like the flame trap animation, but with lasers or bullets instead...

verbal matrix Oct 18, 2022, 11:34 PM

#

The 'AIM' is a single shot, 'AUTO' fires 10 rounds, 'SUPP' fires 10 rounds.

#

Or maybe you could use the same bullet animation but changes the angle by one degree every time animation repeats.

median saffron Oct 18, 2022, 11:53 PM

Thanks Otigon, you are the absolute best!

verbal matrix The 'AIM' is a single shot, 'AUTO' fires 10 rounds, 'SUPP' fires 10 rounds.

It'll just be a basic implementation to start, but I can dig in to the item details and see if I can find where those options are set

#

Maybe have a toggle somewhere to set the number of repeats based on what was chosen

verbal matrix Oct 19, 2022, 12:47 AM

#

I don't know if this helps but when you fire automatic without bullets you get warning to reload, something is checking for ammo. So when I look at the ammo warning generated I saw this. Looks close but don't know if that could help or not.

#

Maybe useful if the use the same naming conventions throughout

#

That was the "createRoll @cpr-item.js:306"

#

this is"_createAttackRoll @cpr-attackable.js :172"

verbal matrix Oct 19, 2022, 12:59 AM

I think I understand that. Too deep in the system for AA to dig it out.

Oh could you use that to trigger the netrunner attack that sets other net runners on fire too?

next plank Oct 19, 2022, 1:00 AM

😂 no idea what a net runner is

#

The Active Effect system in A-A already appears to function in the system, so that's a plus

verbal matrix Oct 19, 2022, 1:02 AM

#

net runnners are cyberpunk hackers. Some of their attacks will overheat an enemy's cpu which is often inside their head so they catch fire. lol

#

but if the active effects work that's just as good. It'll be fun to watch the players react to their teammate combusting.

next plank Oct 19, 2022, 1:04 AM

They were able to point me where the Fire mode type is stored. What I want to do is have an A-A module setting for Cyberpunk that will let you automatically set the the number of animation repeats based on the firemode type. So if you have it set on Auto it'll will fire that many bursts on the enemy, and Suppressive will do the same but add a spread to fire around the enemy

next plank Oct 19, 2022, 6:18 PM

#

Question on Auto and Suppressive fire, are these always 10 round bursts, or does this change depending on the weapon?

verbal matrix Oct 19, 2022, 8:09 PM

#

according to the book. Auto and Suppressive both require and use 10 rounds as an action. If you don't have 10 rounds in your magazine, you cannot take that action.

#

I'm glad you were able to get in touch with the dev team 👍

next plank Oct 19, 2022, 11:08 PM

#

So I've got it set up to:
• Animate based on the ammo loaded in the weapon if an animation match is found, defaulting back to a base animation of just the Weapon name if found>
• Module setting (default to true/checked) to automatically detect if the weapon is set to either Suppressive or Auto firemode
○ This will override any "repeat" settings on the primary animation to 10 to match the number of bullets being fired
○ If Suppressive mode is checked, the Sequencer missed() method is used to spray around the target
• Added a Random Offset option in the Range menu to make those multi-fire options look better

It only works for weapon attacks as-is. I can't find any data passed when rolling things like skills or abilities, nor weapon Damage

#

I might add a feature request on the system page to see if they'd consider adding system hooks for abilities, weapon attacks/damage, etc

verbal matrix Oct 19, 2022, 11:22 PM

It would be nice if they made it more accessible to creators like you. A big emphasis in cyberpunk is Style and the Rule of Cool. So being a well known system (which just had a popular anime drop) without flash like animations is a bit sad. lol

You can do both

#

It will read the ammo that is loaded and look for a matching animation for that first

#

Then fallback to look for an animation matching the weapon name

#

The global menu is recommended to set those up

verbal matrix Oct 20, 2022, 2:44 AM

So fill out the ammo first b/c a gun wont fire without it.

next plank Oct 20, 2022, 2:48 AM

verbal matrix Oct 20, 2022, 2:50 AM

can't find

next plank Oct 20, 2022, 2:54 AM
