I’m using it in my mario game :)

[cinder rock]

Thank You!

[somber bay]

Does anyone have a macro I can add to a roll that can check or uncheck a box? I wanna be able to equip and unequip stuff without opening the item.

[cinder rock]

I would also be interested in such a thing 👀

Honestly, there is a lot of Macros I'd like to make. Anyone got a good tutorial on making them?

One more question... I saw this on the roadmap... I do not expect it to be coming any time soon but... by chance is it?

#126 - Allow roll messages to edit values on the sheet

If @brittle moth says no that is cool, it means I keep trying to figure out macros

[hazy saffron]

I'm setting up a roll message to use a 'user input' in one area and then reference that key in another.

• Cost: 1+?{WillpowerSpent|2} Willpower

(Other display text)
Willpower spent ${WillpowerSpent}$

However, when I do this, the roll message shows as blank. When I edit the roll message I see all the text but when rendered in the item, it's blank. Anyone seen this?

Also I get an error on this: ${?{WillpowerSpent|2}+1}$

[mint arch]

Perhaps someone here can answer the question - as I am attempting my first build in Foundry and struggling hard. But I am using Custom System Builder, I hope you'll understand what I'm trying to do. Very simply, I'm trying to create a dynamic table so that I can re-use it to assert it as values in a custom character sheet drop down (20 rows) field. Problem: I don't know what constitutes as a "Dynamic Table". Docs and Google point me to rollable tables, which isn't helpful.

Can someone help me identify what kind of table I need to build here? I'm realizing vernacular matters.

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/#310-dynamic-table

[mint arch]

Thank you. When referencing the table and the column, is there a syntax? Copy and pasting the exact name does not register the table.

[formal goblet]

Whatever key you have used for your table and the column. Should be just the name of it without any additions.

[mint arch]

Nvm, I think I figured it out. It will only register dynamic tables in the same sheet. It won't register from other items/sheets.

[formal goblet]

Yeah

Cross-interactions between other sheets is limited

[mint arch]

Gotcha. i was testing making an item for it to reference, as I'm making 7 templates for different playable species.

Gotcha

Thank you for the clarification!

This helps a lot!

[formal goblet]

Why not just 1 template for all species? Are they that different?

[mint arch]

There probably is a better way, I'm just a newb and it's pretty in depth. My system uses a full range of dice, and stats can go up or down depending on what's happening so it makes rolling off of the character sheet itself pretty intensive.

So I just wanted a drop down that will help players keep track of base stats

Just with 17 dropdowns per template, I didn't want to generate a table line by line for each one.

With each playable species, there are buffs that players can choose from, and each species is different.

[formal goblet]

That´s probably something I´d make an Item Template for with Item Modifiers.

[mint arch]

May consider that. We'll have to see.

[formal goblet]

The player can drag the corresponding species into his sheet and the stat buffs will be applied automatically.

[mint arch]

I'll have to consider this.

Might be easier

[carmine escarp]

question for the fellas: i am about at the step where I just need to make a compendium. how would I go about doing that? should I make 1 of each item/monster/whatever I want and then click the compendium button or what?

[runic condor]

Im having trouble making a roll message. I just need a simple roll XD6 where X is the value of one of the components on the character sheet

Example ^^ When I click Fatigue I want it to roll 4D6

I cant figure out how to get it to use the component as a variable

[carmine escarp]

that seems like youll need a hidden label that concat's the values

or

hm

sorry im not very good at this

[runic condor]

I got it to reference the value with this: "@{selected|FatigueCurrent}d6 for Fatigue"

but it wont roll

[carmine escarp]

alright i can already tell youre ahead of me lol

ive got no hints or tips

[runic condor]

lol all good

[carmine escarp]

what i've done is hide labels that do Concat in a tab labelled "info" and pulled from there

because at a certain point shit stops working

so they concat keys for me

then i reference them elsewhere

still cant hide the tab though

[umbral jackal]

Is there a way to have an item check the key of its parent container? I have a system where Attributes and Defects can be applied to either characters or items, and choose which key value to change depending on that. If applied to a character, its point cost will be added to the character's spent points. If it's on an item, it will be added to the total points applied to the item, and half the total points will be added to the equipper's expenditures.

[hazy saffron]

Anyone else having trouble when using the user input ?{varName|value} and then referencing that key later like ${ varName}$ ? When I do it for a roll message/description, it clears all the text out in the display for some reason

[scarlet skiff]

Depends If you have a lot of similar items. You can Access the compendium File in your world File, but its kind of Tricky and i think only really worth IT when you have a lot of similar Elements (like just changing name and value)
I have done it but its not trivial to setup

[umbral jackal]

Additionally, is there a way to set the visibility formula in an Item Container label to check the value of a property in that item?

[umbral jackal]

Uh...uh-oh. I tried to make a label that was just a horizontal rule, and now, not only is there no horizontal rule, but I can't click on the label to open and edit or delete it...there's just a huge empty space now.

[brittle moth]

Its planned for the next release, but said next release is delayed by a bit of technical debt which I'm trying to handle right now 🙂

[umbral jackal]

Um...can Items not be equipped to other Items?

I'm trying to make it so that Attributes and Defects (which are classified as Items in CSB) can be attached to Items.

[burnt ridge]

Not currently, although I think there are plans for items within items in the pipeline

[umbral jackal]

Ahh. I hope so, because I've kinda hit a wall with this system until then.

[vagrant hollow]

I think you just need a label with “label text” “Fatigue” and “label roll message”: ${[:FatigueCurrent:d6]}$ for Fatigue
See: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder#45-add-rolls

[faint wharf]

Hi! i was looking at pool results for 2.3 i seen - Item management [#155 - Conditional item & active effects modifiers] - Will it let us acces items like in dynamic table? i need this feature and hope it is just that. also any notion of when 2.3 will be up?

[scarlet skiff]

The bigger Problem will be if the modifier of the item in the item also transfers to the actor. If Not the use of this is very limited

[umbral jackal]

In most cases, it is, but there also exists a Limiter that makes some Attributes only affect the item rather than the actor.

[somber bay]

Still incredible because this is not a 'CSB' problem, it is a foundry vtt problem, it will make CSB amazing.

[scarlet skiff]

anyone know if you can update a sheet (similar like pressing the reload button by hand or the "reload all item sheets") with a script macro?
I found the solution. There is "item.reloadTemplate("ItemId") you can use to get the item loaded with the right Template

[runic condor]

That did the trick thank you!

[hazy saffron]

Is anyone very familiar with the user input mechanism and then referencing the data elsewhere?

[shut harness]

${appleCounter:=?{howManyApples} }$
Something like that

[hazy saffron]

Interesting. That's different from what I saw in the GitHub docs, I saw ?{varName|default} and you could refer to the key later as ${varName }$. However, when I did that, it would clear out the message all together. In your example, can I use ${appleCounter}$ later to use the value entered?

[hazy saffron]

I did try the above in the description/chat message but it returned ERROR

[formal goblet]

That´s what the wiki says: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/FAQ/Frequently-Asked-Questions#q-i-want-to-make-my-roll-messages-look-prettier-how-can-i-do-that

[hazy saffron]

Oh I see the wiki shows a different format using a # before the input code! I’ll try that

[formal goblet]

# means that the message will be hidden in the chat. It´s useful for storing temporary results and such.

[hazy saffron]

When I try to implement the above, whenever I include the reference ${ }$ the whole rich text area disappears

[hazy saffron]

@formal goblet Here is a snippet of code in my Rich Text Field/Roll Message in an Item. I am trying to have user input for "WillpowerSpent" and then display that later in the roll message. Then ${WillpowerSpent}$ formula causes the whole rich text field to go blank when it's saved.

• Cost: ${#?{WillpowerSpent|2} }$ Willpower

Bonuses at Rank ${rank}$:
  • Gain ${legend}$ Bonus Dice on the reroll per 1 Willpower spent ${WillpowerSpent}$

[formal goblet]

What does the console say (F12)?

[hazy saffron]

There's a ton of things in the console, am I looking for something? I see that it correctly identifies ${WillpowerSpent}$ as an object with formula property of WillpowerSpent

The text of the rich text field is still there it's just not display on the item nor in the chat window when 'rolled'

[formal goblet]

Look for errors (red).

Post a screenshot if you see one.

Actually, also post a screenshot of the Label Roll Message

[hazy saffron]

There are no errors. There is a warning "Some props were not computed" but the item itself has a ton of hidden attributes representing actor attributes so it could be those

There is also a warning about the object itself.

Some cookies are misusing the recommended “SameSite“ attribute 3
Some props were not computed. item.js:207:21
Object { roll: "Roll ${dice_pool}$D+${succ_pool}$, Dif. ${dif}$", effect: "${recalculate(fetchFromDynamicTable('effects', 'effect_desc', 'effect_title', effect_select))}$", succ_pool: "${ref(concat(ability,'succ')) + roll_bonus_succ + ref(concat('m', concat(attribute, '_mod')))}$" }
item.js:208:21
WebGL warning: drawElementsInstanced: Using format enabled by implicitly enabled extension: EXT_float_blend. For maximal portability enable it explicitly.
Some cookies are misusing the recommended “SameSite“ attribute 3

The roll message says "undefined" at the point where the text would start

[formal goblet]

Check your formulas if they actually return a value. You can use the Label prefix or suffix for that. IMPORTANT: Only one formula at once for testing (everything inside ${}$ is considered a formula).

[hazy saffron]

So, without the added reference of ${WillpowerSpent}$ and only using the user input ?{WillpowerSpent|2}, when I do the roll, it asks for my input and then correctly displays what I enter in the roll message. Only when I include the later reference do things go 'blank' and not work

[shut harness]

Sorr for my mistake

[hazy saffron]

Oh not your mistake at all. The GitHub Docs and Wiki show different format. I appreciate the reference to the Wiki

[mint arch]

To piggy back off of that, is there any way that we can take the contents of a text field, and once parsed for content, use that syntax as a roll to chat? For my purposes, I want to take the text input for damage on a given weapon, and use that to roll from on the Weapon sheet (Yellow flow). In addition, I want to take that value, and turn it into an actionable item on the character sheet inventory tab and subsequent container I have made (Red Flow). Any thoughts how I can change it so that instead of ${[1d6]}$ as a static roll, it is a variable dependent on the input from the weapon sheet?

Changing it to ${[item.WpnDamage]}$ doesn't do anything in chat, so I'm guessing this isn't possible the way I've done it

So I'm wondering if any wizards can help me improvise a solution. Perhaps there's a better way to store the value, but it has to be variable as the damage will differ from item to item.

[formal goblet]

${[:item.WpnDamage:]}$ should do the trick. You just missed the :.

[mint arch]

Thank you! I'm so glad this was just user error. I was wracking my brain on this lol

[mint arch]

If I created a "Name" field, so that I could pull the name of the item in the chat when the damage is rolled this way, would the syntax be ${[item.WpnName]}$ Damage ${[:item.WpnDamage:]}$

or would it look more like:
${[item.WpnName " Damage: " :item.WpnDamage:]}$

I've tried both. Neither seemed to work, but I'm sure it's possible and one of these is closer

The intent is "<Estoc> Damage: <Roll>"

Or perhaps there is a better way and I'm making this harder on myself.

Open to learn!

I see 4.4 but it confuses me slightly

[formal goblet]

${item.WpnName}$ Damage: ${[:item.WpnDamage:]}$

${}$ -> CSB-Formula
${[]}$ -> Foundry-Roll-Formula with CSB-functions and keys mixed in it

You only need the Foundry-Roll-Formula if dices are involved. Rest can be pure CSB-Formulas

[mint arch]

Got it. Worked like a charm. Thank you for teaching me. I'm such a newb at this.

[mint arch]

Ah.. Worked-ish..

Doesn't show the content.

When i roll it from the character sheet *

[formal goblet]

Is WpnName a key you´ve created? If not, use item.name

[mint arch]

Yea, It's another text field.

I'll try item.name

[mint arch]

item.name worked. I wonder why the other didn't, not that I'm complaining. I'm just happy for the help!

Thank you so much @formal goblet

[gaunt bluff]

Hi all, I have need to reference a value from one item to another item on the same actor (different tabs, different item containers). is there a way to do this? (one item container roll formula referencing a value from another item)?

[keen sundial]

I asked about the system in the wrong thread... Now I am in the right place. Hey people.

[gaunt bluff]

I decided to do a physical table with a mass bunch of labels to store the relevant data. I had to create a new variable to store the name for comparisons as item modifiers don't work with item name.
using the ref() to compare the name on the other item container, I am able to reference the data properly for the rolls.

[umbral jackal]

How do I access an actor's/item's name when, for example, posting to chat?

Figured it out for the item, but not for the actor name.

[umbral jackal]

Also, I need rolls to be able to be made normally (2d6), with a minor (3d6kh2) or major (4d6kh2) edge, or with a minor (3d6kl2) or major (4d6kl2) obstacle. How would I allow the player to choose one when making a roll?

[mint arch]

OK, next hurdle! I am attempting to use a dynamic table to generate a dropdown option for each of my main attributes and skills. What I would like to do, is that when the Attribute header (label) is clicked, it references the table, but a different column from the same row (record) that the selected value in the drop down is referencing in the table. See the example image, in case this needs context or I'm not explaining it well.

Does this makes sense what I'm trying to do? Which section of the guide might help answer this?

I saw a few potentials but am not sure which one or if someone has the quicker answer.

This was my latest flub:
Strength rolled at Level ${STR_Value}$ <br> ${[DjinnStatsTable(Levels=STR_Value).:LevelRoll:]}$

Was attempting to use 6.2 as a reference "<dynamicTableKey>(<filterColumn>=<filterValue>).<targetColumn>"

[formal goblet]

${fetchFromDynamicTable('dynamicTableKey', 'rollColumnKey', 'levelsColumnKey', dropdownKey)}$

[formal goblet]

It only works with the item name

[umbral jackal]

Aww.

[formal goblet]

You can create a dropdown list with the rolls as your dropdown keys. Then you'd only need to reference this dropdown list in your Label Roll Message: ${[:dropdownKey:]}$

[umbral jackal]

... ... ... ... Why didn't I think of that?

[formal goblet]

Glad it's simple enough 😄

[umbral jackal]

Yeah. Thanks!

[keen sundial]

Hello. I´m trying to add a call to a rollable table in a character template, Depending on the name of the npc I create with the template it should roll on its respective rollable table when clicking on the button... but I can´t seem to make a value work as the rolltablename

${[#ref('npc_name')]}$... ${[#npc_name]}$... where npc_name is the key where I write the name of the npc, which is also the name of the respective rollable table... but nothing happens. If I write the rollable table name directly it works, but I want a template where I can plug the apropriate table to roll depending on the npc

any ideas?

[formal goblet]

You have to use colons if you´re using CSB-formula inside a Foundry-roll-formula. Try this: ${[#:ref('npc_name'):]}$

[keen sundial]

Thank you very much. It worked. Community is the best 🙂

[craggy crest]

I'm casting Resurrect Thread - as I try to figure out how to have, "Bless," or "Guidance" automatically apply their bonuses on rolls for dnd5e (edited to add specifics)

[brave heart]

Hello, I have drop-down list for attribute with dice types as labels (d4, d6, d8, etc.) and wish to create reference to this attribute. however when i refer to the stat i see key value instead of label value. How can I refer to label of drop-down list? I don't want to put die types as key because I plan to modify the referenced attribute by moving 1 step higher or lower (from d6 to d8 or d4) depending on situation, gear, etc. Is this even possible to reference the table behind drop-down?

[umbral jackal]

I see the Tooltip on Hover trick on the wiki, but I can't figure out where to put it to make it work. Are "dropdown" and "dropdown-content" not built-in classes?

[formal goblet]

It´s not possible to reference the Label of a dropdown list. The Label is just a visual representation.

[thorny cobalt]

i am trying to modify a label value using an item modifier. the label has it's own formula, but the final output is a number. whenever i add the item in question, the label switches to display "NaN". am i doing something wrong here?

[formal goblet]

Did you forget to add ${}$?

[thorny cobalt]

yeah, i added them

[carmine escarp]

how do you fellas implement crits for your systems? what roll message code do you use to double the dice?

[mint arch]

Is there a way to add the sum of a field's values from a Container?

[fierce harbor]

Can I ask how you did that?

[cinder fox]

How can I access an item image when using formula?

[fierce harbor]

Wouldn't it be item.img? As with an actor, that's what I'm thinking.

[cinder fox]

I got undefined while doing that

[fierce harbor]

Hm. I'm afraid that in formulas the system is expecting numeric values only, isn't it? What are you trying to achieve, if I can ask?

[cinder fox]

I want to display the image of an item in the chat as part of its roll message

[fierce harbor]

Let me get back to my pc and I'll tinker around a bit 😅

[cinder fox]

sure thanks! I

[fierce harbor]

I tried to append ${item.img}$ to my roll text(in a label inside the actor sheet) but did nor get the image. No error, though.

[fierce harbor]

I've checked API docs for v10 and there you have thumbnail accessor, but using item.thumbnail gets me nowhere.
I'll keep trying and let you know if a solution comes out of it. Sorry for now.

[cinder fox]

i think would have to check how the name is transferred to props and maybe do the same for images, but I am not sure which line of code that happens

[fierce harbor]

I'm currently exploring actor data and cannot see any way to get a handle to the itemContainer containing the item...

[scarlet skiff]

hey - anyone tinkered with item tooltips? i want to display item information (static or dynamic) in the tooltip of items. for a simple use case: is there a way to change the tooltip "Item" to something else like "This is the Item-Tooltip"

[burnt ridge]

I don't have a crit based on a specific dice roll, but all hits are relative, the better you hit someone, the more of their armour you are able to bypass/ignore. It means that for me I don't have a special roll message, or a doubling of dice, but a "critical hit" is one that bypasses all armour and therefore has 0 damage reduced from it.

[brave heart]

That's what I eventually thought... I then made hidden attribute with dynamic value based on the drop-down of the attribute. I use reference to this hidden attribute. Works better then expected.

[cinder fox]

Probably I can add in my world script a hook for updateItem to detect if the image has changed, if so set the url to a hidden attribute

[fierce harbor]

At the moment I'm having troubles even accessing item's image, let alone understanding what you intend to do. 😅
If you do not mind, please give us an update on your tests 👍🏻

[fierce harbor]

I'm attempting to build a skill list where each skill has a reference stat, a certain number of points assigned to it(with max depending on said stat) and a total(that depends on said stat). Tried with dynamic table, but sameRow() does not work in max formulas so I cannot get the correct reference to the appropriate stat.
Even with a simple table it is not possible to reference the needed stat.
I'm at a loss...
Any suggestion?

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/issues/201

But it should work with a simple Table, because the bug is only there with the sameRow()-function (normal Tables cannot use sameRow())

[formal goblet]

nope, currently not

[formal goblet]

You´d use Item Modifiers for that: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/FAQ/Frequently-Asked-Questions#q-i-have-an-item-container-with-inventory-items-and-i-want-to-sum-up-the-weight-of-each-item-but-sumfetchfromdynamictableinventory_container-weight-doesnt-work-is-there-a-way

[formal goblet]

I just check what the roll result is and depending on that, show the appropriate message. If you just want to double your result if it has a crit, you can do something like this:

${#roll:= [1d20]}$
Result: ${roll * (roll == 20 ? 2 : 1)}$

[carmine escarp]

its all good

i just tested some stuff and found that even the mostly blank sheets chug and lag. Even the item sheets do. I am coming to realize that I have no ability to make this the way I want it, and my hundreds of hours here have been wasted

[thorny cobalt]

i got it to work, but only if i remove the label's text formatting (like bold and size) is there a way to keep formatting and make it adjustable with item modifiers?

[formal goblet]

Huh? Why should the formatting matter? Can you show what you got?

[thorny cobalt]

this is the text for the label, if i delete the <> things, it works, displaying the modified number and doesn't display NaN as the output

[formal goblet]

Yeah, that´s really bad. Item Modifiers modify the whole Label text, not just the formula in it. If you still want the custom formatting, you can move them to Label prefix and Label suffix.

[thorny cobalt]

ooooh, thank you so much!!

it works <3

[umbral jackal]

"attached" still doesn't seem to work in getPropertyDataFromActor.

[formal goblet]

I don't know where the problem lies some are experiencing when using this function... Can you provide more context?

[umbral jackal]

I get this when I use it in an item that's attached to a character.

getPropertyDataFromActor("attached", "stat_ACV"), for example, throws an error.

[formal goblet]

Seems like you're doing something with a matrix you're not supposed to. What exactly is "stat_ACV"?

[umbral jackal]

Attack Combat Value. It's the average of Body, Mind, and Soul, plus any Attributes that directly increase ACV.

[formal goblet]

What does ${typeOf(stat_ACV)}$ return, if you create this in your character sheet?

[umbral jackal]

One sec.

. . . String. No wonder.

I need to add ref('') to it.

[formal goblet]

Well, you can try, but I think it'll do the same.

[umbral jackal]

${typeOf(ref('stat_ACV'))}$ returned number.

[formal goblet]

Huh. Well. Atleast it works.

[umbral jackal]

Yet it still doesn't work in getPropertyDataFromActor().

[formal goblet]

Does the fallback-value work?

[umbral jackal]

The fallback value works, yeah.

Also, ${getPropertyDataFromActor("attached", "stat_ACV")}$ returns a completely blank value.

[formal goblet]

Is it used in a Dynamic Table?

[umbral jackal]

Nope, Item Container.

[formal goblet]

Huh?

[umbral jackal]

Or did you mean stat_ACV?

[formal goblet]

You don't need this function if you're using it in an Item Container. You have access for the actor properties anyway.

[umbral jackal]

...Wait...really?

[formal goblet]

Yeah

It's meant to be used for Items

Not Item Containers

[umbral jackal]

Oh, I know that. It's on the item itself, and the item is attached to the Item Container.

[formal goblet]

Items are attached to actors

[umbral jackal]

Well, it's in an Item Container that's on an Actor.

[formal goblet]

That's what you see, but internally the Item is only attached to an Actor.

[umbral jackal]

Okay, then it's on an Actor.

[formal goblet]

Item Containers are only displaying them

[umbral jackal]

Ahhh, okay.

So yeah, the Items are attached to the Actor.

[formal goblet]

Post a screenshot of the setup

[formal goblet]

Can you try to use this function without any other additions (in a Label prefix for example)?

[umbral jackal]

All right.

Comes up blank.

[formal goblet]

Sigh... What about referencing a different key on the character sheet? Something simple like a number field?

[umbral jackal]

Still blank.

[formal goblet]

...

Are you updating the Item with every formula change?

[umbral jackal]

Yes.

[formal goblet]

Can you make a Test Template and an Item Test Template and see if it works there?

[umbral jackal]

Sure.

[mint arch]

How to do which part?

[formal goblet]

Does atleast "selected" work?

[umbral jackal]

That does.

[formal goblet]

Ok. I have no clue what is going wrong.

[umbral jackal]

Neither do I...all properties of "attached" are returning empty strings.

[formal goblet]

I just used it few hours ago without an issue...

Well, to be fair, I'm working on the dev-branch, not release-branch.

[umbral jackal]

That is a possible issue there.

[formal goblet]

But still... I tested it before it got even released so I still don't know where the issue lies.

[umbral jackal]

It's mind-boggling! Could it have something to do with the Item Containers having keys?

[formal goblet]

Nah. They are completely irrelevant.

[umbral jackal]

...No...I don't have keys on these containers.

This is giving me a headache...I don't know what's going wrong.

[formal goblet]

You can attach Items to Actors without a single Container.

[umbral jackal]

...You can?

[formal goblet]

Yeah. They will be invisible, but they will be there.

[umbral jackal]

Oh.

Then I don't know.

[formal goblet]

Same here. I'd need some in depth testing in a world, where it's not working.

[umbral jackal]

Yeah. :\

[fierce harbor]

I mean calculating total encumbrance

[umbral jackal]

I've had to just make a keyed label on the character sheet, then have hidden attributes on each item that modify that label's value.

[fierce harbor]

Thanks for replying. I know the problem is not there on a normal table, but then I need to reference the proper stat and I seem to not be able to.
Let'ssay there is a column with key stat that contains String data with the key for the stat I need, in the column where I store the Number data what I try is ref(stat,0) 'cause I need the number stored in the stat with that key. Correct?

[fierce harbor]

I've tried that,but it's not working. Gotta check again, though, as I think I got i wrong.

EDIT: it works as predicted. I was using the wrong column key. Thanks again!

[fierce harbor]

Well, it works with a standard table. I must have done something wrong when using ref(). Thanks!

[mint arch]

Martin1522 gave me solution here: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/FAQ/Frequently-Asked-Questions#q-i-have-an-item-container-with-inventory-items-and-i-want-to-sum-up-the-weight-of-each-item-but-sumfetchfromdynamictableinventory_container-weight-doesnt-work-is-there-a-way

This might be hard to follow, but here it is in practice. @fierce harbor

How do you reference the name of an item in its own sheet? When I try the following, it doesn't work. The objective is for it to say "<item name> Damage: <WpnDamage (roll syntax)>".

When I try ${name}$ or ${item.name}$ it doesn't work. However, when I use item.name from a character sheet used in the exact same way it works.

The shortcut answer would be to create a new field called "WpnName" and reference that, but I don't want GMs playing my system to have to work too hard to create new items and weapons.

If I can use what's already in Foundry, I'd rather keep the UX intensity low.

[fierce harbor]

I'm experiencing a sort of bug, frequently I would say, where moving a component (say a label) inside a table or panel creates a panel null around that component and no matter what said panel stays where it first popped.
Thoughts?

[mint arch]

Can you screenshot what's happening?

@fierce harbor I think I know what you're saying, but want to make sure I understand context.

[fierce harbor]

Not happening now, of course 😤

There you go

It happened in a table, not sure about panel.

EDIT: moving a grouped component to an empty row fixes the layout. Still I don't understand if this is a feature or an issue 🤷🏻‍♂️

And this happens when I try to move one of the grouped components oit of the group.

[scarlet skiff]

anyone using "Core Settings Expanded" with custom effects?
i wanted to add some custom effects but it overwrites other effects. e.g. when i create 1 effect the "dead" effect isn't there anymore.
i tried adding the "standard effects" first an additional time - but it reset again when i start the game again
in other words. i can create effects fine as long as i dont close foundry. when i close foundry other effects get replaced by the new ones i created.

[shut harness]

you gotta re-add them but use the same IDs

[scarlet skiff]

i'll try that - other thing i'm thinking is adding effects with a macro (if thats possible)

[shut harness]

Adding them to the list or to the player?

[scarlet skiff]

to the list - to the player i already got that down 😅

but instead of adding 30 effects by hand maybe with a macro/api this could be done faster

[shut harness]

I don't think it is worth keeping the mod if it doesn't save properly

[scarlet skiff]

i'm debating if i try your approach of saving every effect new and then adding new ones
or if its easier to create a world script which loads on startup and replaces existing effects with new ones - so on every start you create the effects you need.
since effects are stored in an array you can just change that and thats it

[zinc hound]

Hi, is there a recommended way to equip one of the items applied to a sheet? IE, if I have weapon 1 and 2 and I'd like to only apply the bonus from Weapon 1 to my attack roll, what's the best way to do that?

[formal goblet]

You can add a checkbox (equipped) to your weapon item template to indicate the equipped-state. Your modifiers would be applied based on this condition.

[scarlet skiff]

my solution is having multiple item containers and only apply item stats if they are not in the "backpack" - but this is way more effort than Martin's solution 😉

[zinc hound]

How can you check container?

[scarlet skiff]

I have a dropdown in the Item which is responsible for filtering the item in the right Container. Then you can use Formulars in the Item modifier to only apply If you "wear the item"
I Hope this makes sense? I can Post Pictures later If necessary

[zinc hound]

So it’s still a check box, effectively. You just have it displayed separately on the pc sheet

[formal goblet]

Yeah, more or less the same logic

[scarlet skiff]

Yeah in the end yes. I think at the Moment there is No way to properly extract Data from different Item Containers so you have to Life with the workaround

Maybe you could find different solutions with Scripts and macros.
I'm delving a little in Item creation with macros. But in the end you are Limited by the Basic CSB functionality

[fierce harbor]

Why on Earth if I put in a DropDownList a formula as Default Value it gets stuck to a specific value, namely the first in the list?

[formal goblet]

Because the default value doesn't allow formulas? 😅

[fierce harbor]

Dang! Somehow I skipped that part... I'll have to find another way then. Thanks 😅

[fierce harbor]

If I'm not mistaken, somwhere in this thread it has been said that rolls can't modify sheet values...or can they?

[formal goblet]

Well, they could... with macros...

[velvet heron]

Remind me again: How do we get a label roll message to perform a macro?

[formal goblet]

With the Advanced Macro Module and the command /amacro <macroName> <args>

[fierce harbor]

Thus it is not a straightforward call to the macro inside the roll text, correct?

[formal goblet]

Well, it´s literally just that. But also nothing else

[fierce harbor]

Oh no, I meant without the module on.

[formal goblet]

Yeah, not without the module.

Except you create an HTML-Button and an own onClickEventListener, which calls a macro.

That should be possible

[fierce harbor]

Would be great... if I had the time and will... both of which I unfortunately lack... 😅
But thanks for the hint 😉

[velvet heron]

Hrm, it appears what I wanted to do seems to be more complicated than I thought.

I have spells as Items. Each spell Item has a corresponding spell macro. I thought I could add a roll message in the template that could call the macro in the Item but it seems I can't do that directly. What would be a good way to implement this?

Unless there's a way to call the item name as a reference.

[formal goblet]

Well, you could call the macro in the Alternate Roll Message with Shift + Click, where the macro is the only thing in the Roll Message. That would work.

[velvet heron]

But if each macro is different, how would that be possible in the template?

[fierce harbor]

Can you put a dialog in the macro, so that players can select the appropriate spell to use the macro on?

[velvet heron]

I'm not sure how.

[fierce harbor]

Not an expert myself, but you migth check this and see if it helps : https://foundryvtt.wiki/en/development/guides/creating-custom-dialog-windows.
And I'm sure there are some examples out there you can look at.

[velvet heron]

Thanks.

[brave heart]

Hi. I set the initiative formula and all is working fine. However I wonder if I can program initiative button on character sheet, linked with button on encounter.

[velvet heron]

When I tried this (moving the macro from roll message to alt roll message), I couldn't shift+click it; it turned back to black instead of red. What did I do wrong?

In addition, when I put the string /amacro ${item.name}$ into the roll message field, it just returns the text string in the chat, it doesn't run as a macro.

[somber jay]

Sorry if this has been asked before - really loving how this system is built! Is there a way to use radio buttons?

[vagrant hollow]

For this I am using rich-text-fields where every player can set their macro (I placed as default {{macro "PlayerMacro"}} ).
In the roll label a normal click throws’ the dice to see if the spell was successful, and if yes a shift-click activates the macro ${!sameRow('macro')}$
Because every player has a diverent amount of spells, i placed this in a dynamic tabel.

[vagrant hollow]

A checkbox has the same function and via css can be changed to the look of a classic radiobutton

[formal goblet]

I think that he also wants the functionality of radio groups (only 1 selection in a group)

[vagrant hollow]

Arrrggg...If yes, then no! 😜

[velvet heron]

Some of my players are older and, how to put this delicately... not the most technically savvy individuals. I have a player who needs to be constantly reminded what the command is to roll basic dice, as one example (so I made a macro for it).

So I want to make it as drop dead easy as possible so it's one less thing I have to do for them (and not repeat myself over and over). So if it's possible to avoid having them set their own macros or having to shift+click (guarantee they will forget to shift) , I will go for that. Want to cast a spell? click the Cast Spell button on your sheet.

[vagrant hollow]

I have a player with the same memory and he's only 25. 😵‍💫
But you want to set it on the sheet, not on the template?
So, just place it in the roll-message field and you are done.

[velvet heron]

Nope. #1037072885044477962 message

Is there extra text I need to add to make it run as a macro instead of a text string?

[vagrant hollow]

Your /amacro ${item.name}$ is probably not the name of the macro.
/amacro "YouMacroName" works.

[velvet heron]

It is. I've set macro name as the same name as the item for simplicity, which is why I was hoping if the template is calling the item name in the macro roll message, it should work. Obviously it does not.

[fierce harbor]

Working on inventory at the moment, using Item Containers to store items. Problem is that if I use additional filters to check if an item is equipped or not (every item has an EQP checkbox field and the container has a itemUse label set to ${item.EQP}$ to collect the checkbox state) it just does not work. The filter is set as itemUse IS true to check for equipped items and itemUse IS false for unequipped ones.
Any idea what I' m doing wrong?

[formal goblet]

Because you're missing the double-quotes

[formal goblet]

The Field Key should be a key of an Item, not Item Container.

[fierce harbor]

You mean the field key should be EQP, same as in item templates?

[formal goblet]

Yeah

[fierce harbor]

Not working...

[formal goblet]

Reload your character sheet and the Items on your sheet.

[fierce harbor]

Just tested reloading the app then the actor sheet then deleting/adding items to the sheet, but to no avail. Items with flag=TRUE are added, others are not.
In addition, if a copy of an item with unique flag is made, the copied item cannot be added to the sheet.

[velvet heron]

Where do they go? I tried three different ways, and got three different results, none of which acted as a macro run, they were all text strings

Looks like I was missing the !
This is what worked.
Update: The below worked for macros with only one word, but failed for any macro names with more than one word. Adding the double quotes solved that problem as well: /amacro "${!item.name}$"

Thanks for your input and all the help@formal goblet and @vagrant hollow !

[formal goblet]

You should know that Items are added to an Actor and not to an Item Container. Item Containers are only displaying the Items an Actor has (to certain conditions).

You have set up a filter, which shows only Items matching this filter.

Also, the 'unique'-comstraint is a bit buggy, so I recommend to not use it.

[fierce harbor]

Oh well, looks like I'll have to find a more static way of handling inventory.
I'm sure players ...if ever I'll be able to gather any... will understand 😄

Thanks @formal goblet !

[brave delta]

I've finished my Sheet for Unknown Armies 3rd Edition. Is there a way to submit it to be included in the sheet archive?

[mint arch]

Creating a dynamic table and then referencing it in a dropdown object would be a way to meet this functionality just in a different format.

Plus it saves space!

[mint arch]

[fierce harbor]

I'm attempting to set a roll message for weapons and came up with this:
${weqp1='true'?(wtp1='wMelee'?(watt1+bodyStr):(watt1+bodyAgi)):'Weapon not equipeed!'}$
but it does not check for weqp1 nor for wtp1.
I'm sure the formula is wrong but cannot seem to find why...or if it can work in the first place, as I do not remember if conditionals in FoundryVTT can do what I want them to...
Any hint?

[barren kernel]

Are there any good tutorials on this system? To get a DnD inspired homebrew up and running

[shut harness]

You should prob just use a d&d system, but you can use the github for documentation

[mint arch]

Getting to the point where I'm finished my dev work on my system using Custom System Builder. I want to package everything I've done in to a single package for dissemination to my friends. I've seen export functions in both Foundry docs and CSB docs for macros and compendiums, but I've linked Foundry icons to custom items and done all sorts. I've also seen the adventure export function in the Foundry docs. Aside from literally copying the entire Foundry folder, is there a good way to do this?

[barren kernel]

It doesn't follow DnD rules. Only the use of a d20

[fierce harbor]

I might be wrong, becasue my memory often fails me, but there could be a 'generic d20 system' already out there.

[shut harness]

Then just build it as if you would any other system.

[lilac juniper]

Hey there, quick question. My friend and I are trying to resolve this error that's coming up in this formula for a Roll. The error comes up when we try introducing the item.opp property into it. So this is the formula currently

<p><b>Cost:</b> ${!item.cost}$</p>
<p><b>Target:</b> ${!item.target}$</p>
<p><b>Duration:</b> ${!item.duration}$</p>
<hr>
${!item.description}$
<hr>

${#dice1:= equalText(string(item.rolled_atr1) ,'DEX') == true ? ref('dex_current') : 0}$
${#dice1:= equalText(string(item.rolled_atr1) ,'INS') == true and isZero(dice1) == true ? ref('ins_current') : dice1}$
${#dice1:= equalText(string(item.rolled_atr1) ,'MIG') == true and isZero(dice1) == true ? ref('mig_current') : dice1}$
${#dice1:= equalText(string(item.rolled_atr1) ,'WLP') == true and isZero(dice1) == true ? ref('wlp_current') : dice1}$

${#dice2:= equalText(string(item.rolled_atr2) ,'DEX') == true ? ref('dex_current') : 0}$ 
${#dice2:= equalText(string(item.rolled_atr2) ,'INS') == true and isZero(dice2) == true ? ref('ins_current') : dice2}$
${#dice2:= equalText(string(item.rolled_atr2) ,'MIG') == true and isZero(dice2) == true ? ref('mig_current') : dice2}$
${#dice2:= equalText(string(item.rolled_atr2) ,'WLP') == true and isZero(dice2) == true ? ref('wlp_current') : dice2}$

<p><b>${!string(item.rolled_atr1)}$</b> = 1d${!dice1}$ = ${D1:=[1d:dice1:]}$</p>

<p><b>${!string(item.rolled_atr2)}$</b> = 1d${!dice2}$ = ${D2:=[1d:dice2:]}$</p>

<p><b>Check:</b> ${!D1}$ + ${!D2}$ + ${item.check_bonus}$ = <b>${D1+D2+item.check_bonus}$</b> vs. MDEF</p>
 
<p><b>Damage:</b> HR + ${!item.damage_bonus}$  = <b>${max(D1, D2)+item.damage_bonus}$</b>  ${!item.type_damage}$</p>

${! largerEq(D1, 6) and D1 == D2 ? string('<p><b>CRITICAL SUCCESS! Gain an Opportunity</b></p>'): string('')}$

${!D1 == D2 and D1 == 1 ? string('<p><b>FUMBLE<b></p>'): string('')}$```

The error is happening when we try modifying the second to last line with the following

${! largerEq(D1, 6) and D1 == D2 ? string('<p><b>CRITICAL SUCCESS! Gain an Opportunity</b></p>' item.opp): string('')}$

(sorry if it's a little messy looking, essentially we're just trying to have it display the Opportunity text from the item when the Conditional statement detects a crit success)

[formal goblet]

string('<p><b>CRITICAL SUC...' item.opp) is not a valid expression.

[lilac juniper]

So is there a way we can display the item.opp inside this conditional statement? We've been trying out various syntax but so far nothing has worked. Does it just need to be outside the string?

[formal goblet]

It's like wanting to do 5 + 4 but you only tell 5 4

[lilac juniper]

Oh so we need a + then?

[formal goblet]

Use concat()

[lilac juniper]

Ah, okay, we'll try that

[lilac juniper]

Works, thank you so much!

[mint arch]

Is there a way to send the icon/image used in an item to chat? I can use item.name to post the name in the chat log, is there something like a item.image syntax?

[formal goblet]

Nope, there isn't

[scarlet skiff]

Maybe there could be a way to create a world Script which listens to an Event to Output the Image into the Chat. But im not sure If there is a way to set Something Like this Up properly.

[mint arch]

Thank you @formal goblet and @scarlet skiff . I think I'd like to keep it as K.I.S.S. in principle as I can make it. This would be too much if it wasn't a clean-cut method.

I can do without. 🙂

[formal goblet]

I like it SOLID 😅

[mint arch]

I hate SOLID. lol. When each letter is effectively a derivative of other acronyms I draw the line.

😂

[opaque walrus]

(Copied from #core-how-to ) Hey everyone! I'm new to Foundry and looking to do some basic customizing as I'm developing a new TTRPG.

In the generic blank actor sheet, there's Description, Items, and Attributes. I could write everything out in Description and use [[1d20+5]] commands for example as a placeholder character sheet, but I'm wondering if there are any easy hacks I can use with the Attributes page to self-reference the document. (So that an Awareness skill references the Awareness ability, for example).

I know I could do basically anything with HTML but am very rusty on it so want a quick "eh, that's fine" fix while I'm relearning HTML. Do you have any suggestions either directly or for a youtube channel to watch? TIA!

[formal goblet]

Uhm. Custom System Builder is a system, which allows to create own rule sets (including character and item sheets). If you need more information about this system, here a source: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/

[vagrant hollow]

You are talking about the actor sheet of Simple-Worldbuilding.
This is a different system on an other Discord sub-channel.
Simple Worldbuilding is okay, if you want a VERY simple system.

I never tried self-reference in Simple Worldbuilding but don’t think that this is possible.
In Custom System Builder this is possible.

[cinder fox]

How can I use /sheetRoll with a roll label in an itemcontainer?

or is there anyway to trigger DiceSoNice when doing computablePhrase.parse?

[fierce harbor]

I'm trying to insert a reference to an actor stat in the description of an item, kind of you gain your Strength modifier as attack bonus. Using [[...]] syntax does not work, neither does ${}$. Am I attempting at something impossible or just doing it wrong?

[cinder fox]

Iirc you need to put ‘item.’

Let me check my code later

[fierce harbor]

Thank you.

[violet chasm]

Hi everyone! I have little to no experience coding and i need some help with the following:

-I want to show a derived stat from the sum two attributes but I'm not sure how to make the result of the formula show up as text in the character sheet

[fierce harbor]

You can use a label with text as the formula you need. Ex.: ${a+b}$.

[violet chasm]

Thanks!

[fierce harbor]

You're most welcome.

[scarlet skiff]

you want to use "getPropertyDataFromActor"
https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder#428-getpropertydatafromactor
most likely then in some kind of form like getPropertyDataFromActor(attached, str_mod) look at the link there are some examples listed there which should get you started 🙂

you dont need to use attached you can choose any actor you want

[fierce harbor]

Cool, I'll try. attached would be ok, as I need to populate the description of items the actor has on it.
Thanks a lot!

[scarlet skiff]

no problem - i remember some time ago someone was struggling with attached but for me it worked every time 🤷‍♂️

[formal goblet]

Good to hear that it works for someone 😅

I was going insane finding the issue the guy had

[brave heart]

hi, can i edit tab's name/key in tabbed panel? i try to make some modifications, but it's never saved. Also is it possible to copy an element and paste it elsewhere?

[formal goblet]

Sorry, but Tabs are currently a bit bugged. You can create but not modify them afterwards.

It´s possible to make copies of components. Just press CTRL while moving it.

[cinder fox]

Here's an example:

 getPropertyDataFromActor('attached', 'coreMagicDefense') : getPropertyDataFromActor('attached', 'coreMagicDefense'

However, I tried and it didn't work with the current version as there is a bug, which fix is pending release

[formal goblet]

coreMagicDefense should be in double-quotes. Otherwise it will only return the string.

[fierce harbor]

Thanks both @cinder fox and @formal goblet for further help. I'll have to test it as soon as I can get my hands on the system, I'll let you know then 😉

[scarlet skiff]

Couldn't you open the template Code and fix/edit names there?
Of course thats Not in CSB directly

But might be better than redoing a fully built tab

[formal goblet]

That's also a solution.

[pale tusk]

Any idea why a roll message from an item container would refuse to display the item name?

[formal goblet]

Because there is no name-key by default

[pale tusk]

I made a key on the item called display_name and set it to ${name}$, which displayed correctly on the item. When I tried to reference that in the roll, it still threw an error.

Is there a smarter way to do that?

[formal goblet]

That should't work...

[pale tusk]

Then there's literally no way to reference the name of an item?

But this does display correctly on the item.

Just not when I reference item.title, weirdly.

[fierce harbor]

I tried adding ${getPropertyDataFromActor('attached',"PTS")}$ in the item description and it doesn't work: it just writes it as a string.

[floral crater]

item.name ?!

[formal goblet]

That's only applicable to Item Containers, not Items

[pale tusk]

The item container is where I was trying to use it

[cunning meteor]

How do I "Link Actor Data" within a Custom System Builder world?

Sorry, I mean "Assign Represented Actor"

OK - I think I've got it now. The "Assign Represented Actor" is only available on a clone of a Token. Within the Prototype Token only the "Link Actor Data" checkbox appears.

[pale tusk]

I'm still not clear on whether "item.name" should or should not work from the item container, and if it shouldn't, I'm wondering how to correctly reference the item's name.

[formal goblet]

It should if it is from an Item Container. ${item.name}$ would be enough

[pale tusk]

Not sure why that wasn't working before, but now it is. Great! Thanks. 🙂

[pale tusk]

Any known issue with CSB that would cause it to refuse to drag actor tokens into the play space? For some reason (in a fairly new game I've made, haven't tested tokens before now) none of my actors will place tokens.

[fierce harbor]

Do you have a scene set up? It might be that.

[pale tusk]

I tried making a new scene. No actor tokens will place.

Okay, oddly, if I make a totally blank actor, it will place the default mask token.

But it won't place any of the actors I've worked on.

[fierce harbor]

Hm, never happened to me

[pale tusk]

Well, that's both just bizarre and a very serious issue. Damn.

[undone smelt]

Check your console for errors when this happens.

[pale tusk]

There's an error, but it means nothing to me.

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: setting getter-only property "actor"
[Detected 1 package: system:custom-system-builder]

[undone smelt]

Something either in the system or some script you've configured is accessing the actor data incorrectly.

[pale tusk]

Any idea how to figure out what could be causing that?

I'm not doing anything with scripts that I know of.

[undone smelt]

All I can suggest is to try to narrow it down to a specific source. Which actors, what's in common between them, does it happen on new ones with similar config, etc.

[pale tusk]

I have literally no idea. I've done nothing unusual.

The sheets are very simple.

Fresh actors don't do it. Clearly there must be an error in the base actor I was using (copying so I didn't have to do the initial setup on each actor over and over), but I have no idea what it could be.

[fierce harbor]

It means that a function is trying to modify a read-only property, but hell if I can think of something that could cause that...

[pale tusk]

I'm completely stumped. I don't want to have to redo the actors I've been building, but I have no idea what the error even could be.

[pale tusk]

Seems like it must be coming from an item I've added, but that doesn't narrow it down much.

No, it's not. And it's not any of my modules, either.

[fierce harbor]

You said that a blank actor is correctly added, so what is different on those that raise the error?

[pale tusk]

I've been trying to figure that out. I can't find anything.

I think it's happening when I add skills. Weird.

[fierce harbor]

Any macro or some other 'active' part that could modify the actor?

[pale tusk]

No macros, nothing fancy at all

[fierce harbor]

No label or other field where you use actor.<something> notation?

[pale tusk]

I don't believe so. It's happening when I access the skills section of the sheet. Trying to figure out what could be the reason for that.

[fierce harbor]

Oh well, there has to be some part that when switching to that tab attempts to access actor . Anything about how the switch is done?

[pale tusk]

It's just a normal tab

[fierce harbor]

Don't know how to debug deeper than this, other than having you send me the whole system and check myself but that would be rude.

[pale tusk]

I've tried everything I can think of. I don't know why toggling on some hidden sections would cause an issue.

[fierce harbor]

You mean making them visible triggers the error?

[pale tusk]

On my skill list, each skill has a checkbox to allow you to modify values associated with the skill. When I toggle them all on, the error begins to happen. I'm going to try one by one.

Wait...

There's a skill called..."actor." I am an idiot.

[fierce harbor]

No, you're human as we all are 😉

[fierce harbor]

By the way, how do you use that checbox? I'd like to add such capability to my system.

[pale tusk]

Just add a checkbox element, then when you want a particular panel to vanish/appear when you toggle it, go into that panel's advanced config and use the checkbox's key. (As in the pic, if you name your checkbox key "checkbox_toggle")

[fierce harbor]

Cool and easy! Never thought of that. Thanks!

[pale tusk]

Sure thing!

[native flame]

is there any way to remove or reduce de actors name ?

[fierce harbor]

You mean its font?

[native flame]

no

the size of the name container

[native flame]

if i reduce the font, the container will reduce as well ?

[fierce harbor]

The problem is that there is no setting for either of them. The actor name looks quite fixed to me.

[native flame]

I want to plau 4AD, and i need 4 sheets open to play

so i need that extra room

[fierce harbor]

Why 4 sheets? Can you use tabs instead? On the same sheet I mean.
Also, you can minimize sheets by double-clicking on the sheet upper ribbon, where the name is displayed.

[native flame]

in 4AD you play 4 characters at the same time

but i will try to use tabs and see

maybe it will work

[fierce harbor]

My bad, I did not know.
I think tabs will not help, 'cause you need 4 actor sheets at the same time.

[native flame]

so i solved the problem by using sub templates. Works just fine to separate 4 sheets in the same big sheet.

@brittle moth what do you think about migrating the project from JS to TS? Would it be worth the effort for a bit more safety?

[pale tusk]

I'm also having difficulty getting templates to load correctly since updating.

As well as some odd errors when I try to open items

[brittle moth]

Like they say in Shakespeare's language... Bloody Hell, seem I forgot items in my tests...... ><

[pale tusk]

Could anyone point me to where to ask how to revert the system to the functioning version?

I'm not sure if this is useful information, but: when I copy an item, the copy cannot be opened. However, if I reload the game, then the copy can be opened again.

[brittle moth]

You can clone the 2.2.4 with git inside of your system folder, like said by martin right above 🙂
Or wait for me to quickly fix this ><

[pale tusk]

Waiting sounds safer! 🤣 I'd probably break it worse. 👍

[brittle moth]

Version 2.2.6 has just been released,with the fix for items. Please tell me if you have any other issues

[brittle moth]

I'm not really familiar with TypeScript, so I don't know how much work it would take, nor if it would result in less issues than there are now. The code is not syntaxically wrong, it's just mistakes and forgotten bits on big changes that causes all the trouble :/

[scarlet skiff]

a little shorter than @formal goblet link:

const actor = canvas.tokens.controlled[0].actor; // Or some other way how you get the actor you want to change
const yourProp = "system.props.YOUR-PROP-HERE"; // Change "YOUR-PROP-HERE" to the key you want to change
const updateValue = 1; // The value you want to update your prop with

async function updateActor(actor, yourProp, updateValue) {
await actor.update({ [yourProp]: updateValue});
};
updateActor(actor, yourProp, updateValue);

Hope i didn't put any typos in there 😄

[winter folio]

Hy i'm new,
I'm looking for a way to use /r directly from a sheet.
I don't want to have to click once in the character sheet and once in the chat to see the roll
I could use the Label roll message to do that but it wouldn't look as good

[shut harness]

Is /sheetroll what you are looking for? It adds macros to roll messages

[winter folio]

Not really.
By using Label roll message or /sheetroll I get

But i would like to have something like

[somber bay]

This works great but it sets the value instead of increasing / decreasing it. Also do you know how I could open a prompt to ask for an update value?

[scarlet skiff]

ah yeah you are right 😅
well adding the logic for increasing / decreasing is not hard - you should be able to figure that out
creating a dialog is not that difficult - here an example. of course you should think about defining variables in advance and not hardcoding the props like in the example here:

const actor = canvas.tokens.controlled[0].actor;

let d = new Dialog({
  title: "Get Property and User Input",
  content: `<p>The actor's Prop: ${actor.system.props.'PROP-HERE'}</p><p>Please input a number:</p><input id='user-input' type='number'/>`,
  buttons: {
    select: {
      icon: '<i class="fas fa-check"></i>',
      label: "Submit",
      callback: (html) => {
        let userInput = html.find('#user-input').val();
        if (userInput) {
          console.log(`The actor's Prop: ${actor.system.props.'PROP-HERE'}`);
          console.log(`User input: ${userInput}`);
        }
      }
    },
    cancel: {
      icon: '<i class="fas fa-times"></i>',
      label: "Cancel",
      callback: () => console.log("Dialog cancelled.")
    }
  },
  default: "cancel",
});
d.render(true);

[brave trench]

How can I set up macros that are unique to a selected token? Instead of having to open up individual sheets to make an attack for example, I'd like to be able to click a token then have him throw a punch attack, click another token and have him fire an pistol.

I've come from roll20 where this was built into the core system, actors had their own macros that you could enable as buttons on the playing table when you selected the token. Is this achievable?

[scarlet skiff]

would you like from the sheet or creating script macros?

[brave trench]

I'm not sure what you mean by from the sheet? I'm pretty new to all this. I can do the basics in foundry but once it gets to macros/scripts I get lost.

I don't want to have to open a sheet (if that is what you mean) as trying to manage different unique enemies, as a gm, gets very tedious having to open a sheet for each. Ultimately it would be great if selecting a token brought up a list of available attack/ability options. (this is how roll20 functioned, if you never used that) or if a single macro button could allow me to select which actor/ability/item was to be rolled for.

[shut harness]

Label roll formulas allow you to save them as macros if they have keys

[scarlet skiff]

yeah the key question was if you want to open a sheet.
all the things you described can be done with script macros.
For a very simple example this shows you a warning with the name of the actor of the token you are currently controlling.

const actor = canvas.tokens.controlled[0].actor;
ui.notifications.warn(`This is the Token of: ${actor.name}`);

Since this is Custom System Builder there are no "prebuild" macros for you since all keys are different for everyone.
So you have to program them yourself.

Label roll formulas won't help the GM i'm afraid since they are unique for every actor? Not sure about that - i don't use them.

[brave trench]

Is there a script macros for dummies resource I can look into? like a compendium of stuff I can just copy and paste? lol... That's the hard part for me, I can't code and suck at learning it. I'm lucky I got my custom system builder sheet to function properly. I wish VTTs were more noob friendly.

[fierce harbor]

I'm getting pretty lost in all this 😅
So is there a way to execute a macro from a label roll message?

[scarlet skiff]

I think martin answered this like a month ago in this channel - search in this channel for "amacro". i'm not sure if this works all the time - i don't use it.
i'm using only script macros which are not placed or called in the sheet 🤷‍♂️

[fierce harbor]

Oh right, now i remember. Sorry for repeating and thank you 👍🏻

[scarlet skiff]

well you can use all the basic stuff from foundry which exists for 5e or pathfinder but you have to watch out for the data paths. you have to change them to fit for your system/sheet/keys
other than that for very basic stuff you could try chatGPT - but results are very hit or miss
also chatGPT doesnt know the data structure of foundry v10 and especially CSB / your system so you have to tinker there too

i'm also not a programmer - i startet with foundry like a month ago and i'm slowly learning
a lot of trial and error - just start with something very simple and work your way up from there

macro-polo is a great channel to get help - but dont use it to review code which chatGPT produced - they don't like that 😉

[shut harness]

ChatGPT is a shit programmer

Don’t use it

[scarlet skiff]

Oh yeah failed to mention: only use GPT4.
3.5 its 9/10 Times Garage.
Bit nevertheless you could use it to explain Code for you

[somber jay]

question! i'm messing around with the item container and trying to use the ${item.itemtype}$ . does this only copy number values and not text values?

[scarlet skiff]

what is item.itemtype ? has your item a key "itemtype"? if yes what type of component is it?

[somber jay]

itemtype is just the component key for a text field

[scarlet skiff]

and it doesn't show the value of your text field? have you tried with something else e.g. a label if the syntax works properly?

[somber jay]

the only thing i tried was a number field and that one showed up fine

[scarlet skiff]

then i'm not sure if you need to add some special magic with additional formula input 🤷‍♂️ maybe martin knows more

[formal goblet]

nope, it´s literally just that

[kind basin]

Thanks! this helped a lot.

[somber jay]

ah, i just deleted and recreated as a new key. looks like it works fine now. thanks @scarlet skiff!

[kind basin]

I appreciate the Help @scarlet skiff , still trying to wrap my head around macros , but this helped quite a bit. Thank you.

[scarlet skiff]

no problem - happy to help

[somber jay]

alrighty, been messing around with some syntax but no dice. essentially i'm trying to get a dropdown to record the label instead of the key on an item container. what code should i use for this?

[scarlet skiff]

If i understand you right you got a dropdown in an item. Now you want to get the label value of the dropdown in the item container the item is in?
This is not possible - you can only get the key values.
There are from the top of my head two solutions:

1. name your keys what you want in the item container to show up
2. use a formular in the item container label field to change every key you get to the output you want e.g. ${item.prop=key1?"labeltext of key 1":item.prop=key2?"labeltext of key2":""}$

additionally you have to be careful about naming keys of dropdowns. if you want to use them in formulars i believe you should use integers - but might not be needed everywhere.
where i'm sure you need them as integer would be if you want to use the keys in the item modifiers and use formulars there - then you need the keys as integer

[raven raven]

Hi all

Two questions: is there any way to put number values into a dropdown menu instead of labels?

Will radio buttons be implemented?

[formal goblet]

Well, you can basically just use numbers. That´s totally possible 😅

[formal goblet]

We have no plans for this one

[quasi sonnet]

how do I use "speed" to add a character an equal number of times to the initiative order?

[raven raven]

Solved it by using a dynamic table as the base of the dropdown

[raven raven]

can i make a commission to make it hapen?

Is there a youtube channel with more tutorials of custom system builder?

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/issues

[raven raven]

thank you

[formal goblet]

There´s one from a user, but that´s pretty much out of date

[raven raven]

😦

[formal goblet]

You should just stick with the README and Wiki:
https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder
https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/home

[formal goblet]

Well... That needs some custom implementation. Because the standard function is to sort the combatants by number (and that´s it).

[raven raven]

Is there any way to add a check box to an item container. What I try to achieve is this:

I use spells as items, and with this check box I can track wich spells are on cooldown.

this is in sandbox at the momet.

[raven raven]

may still be useful, how do i find it?

[formal goblet]

I don´t really know. It was posted in this channel quite some time ago, maybe you can find it via search.

[formal goblet]

Item Containers can only contain Labels. You can use icons, which look like check boxes, but you cannot click them. The Item itself has to handle every state change.

[raven raven]

This is not optimal for me, because the player has to open the spell, just to realize that it is on cooldown. Also refreshing cooldowns is a nightmare, because you have to click eatch and every spell one by one and unchek the cooldown. Also i can not supervise it from the GM side.

[quasi sonnet]

I forgot, it is the Year Zero Combat module that use "speed". I just can not figure out how I do the correct system call from the sheet in order to write that key into the module configuration.

[raven raven]

Question: is there any way to duplicate stuff? Like for example I need 3 tables, and I want them named table1, table2, table3, and all the settings should be the same, except their keys

could i just create the first and copy it 3 times and edit their keys later?

[formal goblet]

It´s possible to SHOW that it´s on cooldown, it´s just not possible to toggle the state from the Item Container

[raven raven]

how?

[formal goblet]

Something like ${item.checkbox ? 'Ready' : 'Cooldown'}$

[raven raven]

but where do you put this expression? and where will it present the info?

[formal goblet]

When you create the Item Container, you can add Labels as columns to it. There you can define what you Item Container should show besides the Item.

[formal goblet]

CTRL + Drag

[quasi sonnet]

Cant you do macros with countdown that toggles the checkbox?

[formal goblet]

Possible.

[quasi sonnet]

And macros can be triggered from the sheet? for example when you push a "cast spell" button?

I am new to all this, so I dont know much 😄

[formal goblet]

Possible with the Advanced Macros - Module

[quasi sonnet]

Aha 🙂

[raven raven]

AWESOME! thank you

[pale tusk]

Curious: does anyone happen to know if there are any plans to at any point allow items to be exported from within an actor sheet so they can be copied onto other actors?

[quasi sonnet]

Cant it just be dragged?

[potent fossil]

Hello, does someone has a clue about why this is not working ? :

${ref(sameRow('coup')) == ' Essai' ? 2 : ref(sameRow('coup')) == ' Doublé' ? 4 : ref(sameRow('coup')) == ' Attaque Lourde' ? 5 : ref(sameRow('coup')) == ' Attaque Débilitante' ? 6 : ref(sameRow('coup')) == ' Fauchage' ? 7 : ref(sameRow('coup')) == ' Balayage' ? 8 : ref(sameRow('coup')) == ' Smash' ? 7 : ref(sameRow('coup')) == ' Crash' ? 8 : ref(sameRow('coup')) == ' Action Secondaire' ? 2 : ref(sameRow('coup')) == ' Utiliser un sort' ? 3 : ref(sameRow('coup')) == ' Rengainer / Dégainer' ? 4 : ref(sameRow('coup')) == ' Action Spéciale' ? 5 : 0;}$

it's supposed to take make a label take a value depending of a dropdown list in the coup Row of the same dynamic table

[scarlet skiff]

have to tested it with only one if its working so e.g. is ${ref(sameRow('coup')) == ' Essai' ? 2 : 0}$ working? is there a error or nothing or how do you see its not working?
also why is there a blank space before every word - is this intentional?

[fierce harbor]

Not sure, but I think there was an issue with sameRow(). Tried to use it, but did not work.

[pale tusk]

I'm having a similar issue where a checkbox in a dynamic table seemingly can't be referenced in conditionals.

[potent fossil]

I also suspect the sameRow() to be the origin of the problem

[fierce harbor]

Because of that, I switched to a simple table and a more static approach.

[pale tusk]

I have an odd issue with item modifiers. If I set an item modifer, then have the actor sheet reflect that item modifier and pass it to another item, when I update the modifier on the first item, the value passed to the second item doesn't update until I refresh both the actor sheet and the second item sheet.

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/FAQ/Frequently-Asked-Questions#q-i-want-to-compare-if-2-strings-are-equal-and-i-tried-this-dropdownkey-dexterity-1-0-but-it-doesnt-work-what-am-i-doing-wrong

[potent fossil]

It's a dynamic table, not a item container though

[formal goblet]

You should look at the answer above.

[potent fossil]

😬 sry

[dusky parrot]

My character sheet I am working on has a side bar for character stats, with the main area occupied by a tabbed panel for everything else. Is there a way to restrict the width of the sidebar so when the window's size is changed, it does not become super huge?

Basically, is there a way to make the red measurement stay a certain width, say, 300 px, even when the window is resized?

[fierce harbor]

Maybe it's too easy to be good, but you could use a panel or table to contain both and set the size of the bar to a smaller value than that of the tabbed pane.

[dusky parrot]

I already am using some objects with set size to get them to appropriate dimensions when it is small, the problem is when the user makes the window wider, the left panel grows to fill up half the screen instead of making the main section larger

[fierce harbor]

Hm, dunno. Never played with that extensively, but the feeling is that there is nothing that might help you.

[floral crater]

You can use Panel (grid 2 column) and use CSS to define size of each.

[formal goblet]

Should be doable with Custom CSS

[dusky parrot]

ty

I'll give that a shot

[copper iron]

hi!! i posted this a minute ago in a different channel cause i couldn't find this one, but i'm looking for some help!! I'm super new to coding and stuff in general so a lot of the formula's are really going over my head and I don't really understand how to get things where I want them to be. What I want is basically if my players Roll 3d6, I want to grab one of the individual totals from that roll to log for use in a different roll. For example rolling a 3, 5 and 2, the player could pick any one of those totals and it would log that data for the other roll. If this doesn't make any sense I'm ok working directly with someone to figure it out.

[shut harness]

so... You want this in a macro?

[copper iron]

hmm, realistically it would be a label button in the sheet that rolls the 3d6, then something that lets the player chose one of the 3 rolls to keep for a later 1d20+chosen number roll.

i'd also like to include a bonus modifier added to that roll pulled from a table on the sheet, but i'm not sure if that would make it more complicated

[shut harness]

Why don't you just make 3 label being [3d6kh], [3d6kl], and [3d6dhdl]?

[copper iron]

the 3d6 roll is meant to be the characters attributes. the system im planning to use runs on d6's for attributes and d20's for action roles. the point of manually picking them is for the player to decide which attribute they want to use at that time and the number gives them the bonus to the d20 roll

[shut harness]

So is this just for character creation?

Just telling ya' here and now you will have to code macros for this btw

[copper iron]

it would run for the whole campaign. the 3 d6's would mean a character has 3 stats. they use these stats to respond to different situations, kind of like skill checks in regular 5e. knowing which attribute to use for what situation is important is this system. also, using macros is fine. i was going to swap to macros if i couldn't get this to work at all

[shut harness]

That does not answer my question

[copper iron]

it's not for character creation

[shut harness]

@copper iron Oh wait. Completely forgot you can just do ?{<varName>} for selection variables

[copper iron]

Ooh, i think i missed that looking through the github

[velvet heron]

I stumbled my way to do exactly this. My solution is here:
#1037072885044477962 message

[potent fossil]

I changed my code to the following :
${equalText(ref(sameRow('coup')), ' Essai') ? 2 : equalText(ref(sameRow('coup')), ' Doublé') ? 4 : equalText(ref(sameRow('coup')), ' Attaque Lourde') ? 5 : equalText(ref(sameRow('coup')), ' Attaque Débilitante') ? 6 : equalText(ref(sameRow('coup')), ' Fauchage') ? 7 : equalText(ref(sameRow('coup')), ' Balayage') ? 8 : equalText(ref(sameRow('coup')), ' Smash') ? 7 : equalText(ref(sameRow('coup')), ' Crash') ? 8 : equalText(ref(sameRow('coup')), ' Action Secondaire') ? 2 : equalText(ref(sameRow('coup')), ' Utiliser un sort') ? 3 : equalText(ref(sameRow('coup')), ' Rengainer / Dégainer') ? 4 : equalText(ref(sameRow('coup')), ' Action Spéciale') ? 5 : 0}$
but this resulted in the sheets not even opening with the following error message. When I delete this code from the template though, the sheets open just fine.

Hi, I use a coustom dice, module. What should I cange in the module to make the parts that i have marked with red disapear, I dont want them visible:

but only when i use this module, because sometimes i still roll normal d6 too

[brittle moth]

Hello !
A new beta version is available, with the following changes :

• Added undo / redo buttons in template edition
• Added consoleLog and consoleTable functions
• Added new function: switchCase()
• Added 'fetchFromActor()' ('getPropertyDataFromActor()' is now deprecated)
• Added option to use formulas for keys in item modifiers

FYI, Manifest URL for the beta version is https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/31995966/jobs/artifacts/main/raw/out/system.json?job=build-beta

[formal goblet]

Readme for the beta: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/blob/main/README_BETA.md

Issues with switchCase(), fetchFromActor() or item modifiers can be reported to me directly.

Btw, Item Template Modifiers is also a new feature, just forgot to add it to the Changelog...
https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/blob/main/README_BETA.md#53-item-template-modifiers

[scarlet skiff]

please ask at the appropriate module discussion. this is the channel for CSB.

[granite apex]

Is there a way to make a compound variable?

For example: player_(level)_(classnum) would end up being player_1_1 if level=1 and classnum=1

[formal goblet]

Well, you can construct such a value with concat() if you want: ${concat(player, '_', level, '_', classnum)}$

[granite apex]

I was just typing that, LOL. However it still doesn't turn it into a variable for the purpose of hidden player attributes.

I have tried these both in the formula section of hidden attributes, and no luck

${concat('pl_',string(player_level),'_',string(player_class),'_m')}$

${concat('$pl_',string(player_level),'_',string(player_class),'_m')}$

Ok, so Discord doesn't like my underscore and just puts two '

[formal goblet]

Just encapsulate it with ` to indicate that it´s code.

Wrong char 😅

There we go

[granite apex]

Eyes are going after staring at the screen too long LOL

[formal goblet]

Well, it should produce to corresponding value. What is the key?

[granite apex]

player_m

so it should be
player_m = {concat('$pl_',player_level,'_',player_class,'_m')}$
where the variable I set as player_1_1_m = 6 for example

[formal goblet]

Remove string(player_level) and string(player_class) to see if you get a result. And then readd them one by one.

[granite apex]

It's giving me the pl_1_1_m as the value and not what I have set (elsewhere) as equaling 6

[formal goblet]

So you have under the key pl_1_1_m the value 6? Then surround it with ref() -> ${ref(player_m)}$

[granite apex]

In the component where the pl_1_1_m is set?

[formal goblet]

There

[granite apex]

Perfect!! Thank you

All this to reduce record keeping on the player side LOL

[vagrant hollow]

This is not system or module related, it is a basic foundry function.
And as far as I know there is no way to hide the marked areas, while leaving the place between them viewable.

[granite apex]

Struggling with getting a variable from an attached actor. It's on an item attached to a player. The following just returns ERROR

${fetchFromActor('attached', 'Intelligence', 0)}$

[formal goblet]

Are you using the beta-version?

[lethal flax]

so how do i make it that a tab in a tabbed panel is only visible if a checkbox is checked?

[fierce harbor]

There should be a visibility condition in the advanced settings of the tab, where you can put the key of the checkbox as condition. Or you can put it in another component that has such possibility.

[lethal flax]

so how do i write it down in the visibility formula, ${ standuser_checkbox is true }$?

[fierce harbor]

Just standuser_checbox, no brackets needed.

[lethal flax]

thanks, kinda new to custom system builder.

[fierce harbor]

No problem, I'm no expert either, just stumbled through that 😉

[granite apex]

I had installed a second instance with it, since I saw the old method was on the way out. However I went a different direction and went back to the stable version.

[vestal vortex]

don't know if someone asked this before but is there a way to make the system recognize when you get a number on the dice instead of the entire roll?

for example: i want to roll a number of d6 equal to my characters DEX mod and everytime a dice lands on a 6, it adds the dex mod as bonus damage, but it only recognizes it when the entire roll is a six (all dice + modifiers equaling 6).

[formal goblet]

You can use the Foundry-Roll-API for dice-pool-operations within the system, but that has some limitations. But it´s possible to see how many 6 you´ve rolled and add it to the damage:

${#roll:= [:dex_mod:d6cs=6]}$
Bonus-Damage: ${roll * dex_mod}$

[grizzled moth]

Hello there, new to foundry and the custom system builder. Trying to put together a game to playtest my RPG and I'm using custom system builder to create the sheet. Here's my current one that I whipped up in word as a mockup. I'm having trouble creating the skills table at the bottom and I'm wondering how it would be possible to do so. If anyone can provide advice or assistance it would be greatly appreciated.

and here's my current progress with CSB

[formal goblet]

I´d say you should create a Dynamic Table for your skills, where you can insert the name, level and aptitude of the skill.

[grizzled moth]

I have tried a dynamic table, though I was unable to figure out how to create additional rows. It seems like row creation is something the player controls on their sheet?

Additionally the other method I tried was simply creating nested tables as I did in my word mockup, however things quickly broke and I was unable to continue past the first row

[formal goblet]

Yeah, players can insert their own rows. If you want predefined entries, then it might be worth to create a default actor, which already has these entries and just duplicate this actor as you need.

[formal goblet]

It should be possible to nest normal tables.

[grizzled moth]

I'll rebuild it again to show you the error that occurred. trying the dynamic table idea as well

There we go, eventually when I get towards adding elements to the nested table the action will not complete, and If i attempt it again it errors and says row is not iterable

[formal goblet]

That´s... interesting.

[grizzled moth]

past those first two tables I can't fill any other tables

in any row

tested further, everything past the 1st column of nest tables says row not iterable

[formal goblet]

Can you send your export file?

I´m not able to reproduce it

[grizzled moth]

Yes gladly, how would I go about doing that? Thank you for your help btw I greatly appreciate it.

[formal goblet]

Just right-click the template in the Actors-Tab

[formal goblet]

And you where unable to create, let´s say, 'Bushcraft' in the INT-column?

[grizzled moth]

Yep

[formal goblet]

Well...

[grizzled moth]

hmmm

[formal goblet]

Ok, to be fair, I´m running the beta-version, so there might already be a bugfix for this one

[grizzled moth]

Just restarted the foundry instance and I think I found whats causing the bug? Hold on let me reproduce it again

Yep okay, found it

If the first thing I put into the table is the checkbox in the bottom right corner, it breaks the tables and gives the error

hyper-specific bug lmao

[formal goblet]

Still not an issue for me

wtf

[grizzled moth]

I'm recreating it consistently

Every time I restart it clears, but if I enter a checkbox field into the bottom right hand corner of a table as the first thing in the table it breaks all my tables

😂

[formal goblet]

Can you show the console with F12?

[grizzled moth]

Before or after I break it?

[formal goblet]

Well, with the error message, so after the break

[grizzled moth]

ok

ok it's also not just the bottom right corner tested it again, inserting a checkbox as the first thing into a table is what does it

Seems to fuck up everything, tried to put a test text field onto the inventory page and it returned the same error

[formal goblet]

@brittle moth any ideas?

[formal goblet]

Otherwise I´d say create a new template and drag the components one by one and see if one of them causes the issue.

[grizzled moth]

I've recreated it a few times, it's avoidable, whenever I inset a checkbox as the first element in a table it breaks until i restart foundry, as long as I put something else in the table first it's fine

nested tables is working fine now as long as I avoid that

[lethal flax]

So, how do i make default value of a number field a certain value based off another number field, say Brawns x 4 or something?

[formal goblet]

The default value of a number field can only be a static number, you cannot derive it from other values.

[grizzled moth]

Is there a way to copy and paste elements? I'm having to re-create some smaller thing I made many times and it's killing my wrist

[formal goblet]

CTRL + Drag.

I made an update in the Wiki which covers this and some other questions.

[grizzled moth]

Thank you! My bad for missing it 😄

[formal goblet]

Np. It was updated a few hours ago

[grizzled moth]

Oh nice, is there a link to it?

should pin it in the channel 😄

[formal goblet]

I don't have rights to pin simething 😅

[grizzled moth]

😭

[formal goblet]

And the least are looking at pins

Just go to the projects site and you'll see in the left Sidebar the Wiki

[grizzled moth]

thanks

[potent fossil]

[formal goblet]

This will need some debugging. Check your keys and formulas one by one. It is hard to spot an issue in this big chunk.

[somber bay]

Ive been able to modify it using a formula in Min or Max but do not recommend it, it needs tabbing through to update

[granite apex]

Is there a way to use a chat message to add or remove from a number field (aka like using the + and - buttons) for a character sheet?

[formal goblet]

Basically a macro which changes your value?

[granite apex]

yes, or to add to a roll mesage (damage)

[formal goblet]

Label Roll Messages don´t support this directly. You have to refer to macros.

[granite apex]

Ok

Would that be a standard Foundry question for the macro then?

[formal goblet]

Hmm. More of a mixture of what Foundry and CSB offer.

You can use this macro here: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Tips-&-Tricks/Macro-for-updating-values

You can call it from the Label Roll Message with /amacro "macroName" (you need the "Advanced Macros"-module)

[glossy hare]

there is a way to ref the key of a dropdown list that is in an item? And the keys from the dropdownlist are a actor attributes.
I'm making a config tab inside an item.

[mint arch]

I had a neat idea to make an actor for chests. When players find them, the GM can reveal them to the players, and the players themselves can look inside to see the inventory items that are held. What I'd like to attempt to do is make a "Take" button that effectively labels what was taken, which player took it, and then delete it from the row.
The label is easy to do, and whoever clicks on it, the chat should log their name as part of the roll message. The part I need help with - is there a way to delete the row of the container from a button command?

[undone smelt]

While I don’t want to discourage working on this as a fun project, might want to take a look at the Item Piles module, see if it works with CSB.

[scarlet skiff]

Do you want to have a Chat Message with Buttons Players can use?
This is world-script stuff.

[granite apex]

I'm actually good now, I solved it another way using a combat mod. But thank you!

My newest hurdle is, can you do nested conditions, such as IF X and Y then do
for example
item.tag==1 ? player_tag==1 ? 2 : 0 : 0

And indeed you can! ${item.tag==1 ? (player_tag==1 ? 2 : 0) : 0}$

[formal goblet]

The only way would be with macros. Hint: Items are attached to the Actor, not Item Container.

[mint arch]

I see the delete method, but it appears that it will delete unique identifiers from the entire world file tree structure. Meaning items would need to be duplicated just to be added in to do this. My technical knowledge is slim, so please tell me if I'm reading this right.

If this is the case ^ , then I'm not sure that's intuitive to do it this way (thinking of GM UX).

[formal goblet]

actor.items.delete(item_id) will only delete the Item on the Actor.

[mint arch]

ahhh. ok. Thank you.

[scarlet skiff]

well you should try the item piles module. it pretty much does that what you want it to do? not sure if it works 100% with CSB - but you should try it 😉

[mint arch]

I'll give it a go as well. Just if I want to make this portable to share, i want to limit the number of modules needed to maintain.

If I barely understand what's happening, there's no way someone who isn't a power user is going to know what to do.

lol

[mint arch]

Would someone provide me an example of using the following in a Label Roll Message, please?

I feel like I'm missing something super basic, and would probably just benefit in seeing a working example.

[formal goblet]

I think the Wiki has one

[mint arch]

Looking...

[mint arch]

I'm sorry. I feel so dumb. I can't find it if there is one. lol

[formal goblet]

Thank you.

[oblique spear]

Hello, i have a question on css customization.
I try to neutralize dropdown arrow.
I know that this code can run properly :
-webkit-appearance: none; -moz-appearance: none; appearance: none;
But into the CSB css there are this code who control the selection.
.custom-system-actor select { width: fill-available; width: -webkit-fill-available; width: -moz-available;i }
I tried to create a new css class but with no success on my dropdown.
.drop { -webkit-appearance: none; -moz-appearance: none; appearance: none; }
There are a css specialist here ? Thx you 🙏

[cinder rock]

Outta curiosity, where is custom system builder at for compatibility with v11?

Too buggy to use until an update?

[white pumice]

I bought Foundry yesterday and was excited to see Custom System Builder, then updated to V11, and uh-oh! It looks like the developer is pretty darn active, though. I'm curious to know how soon compatibility with v11 is planned if it is.

[pale tusk]

I wonder, has anyone tried using Simple Calendar with CSB to track something like character birthdays or ages so they can display on the sheet somehow?

[somber bay]

I re-installed 10 right after and it worked fine for me. I'm curious too when he will update to 11 since it looks pretty but meanwhile...

[somber bay]

Straight up 'incomppatible core' message and it will not let you launch until you re-install 10 over it. I did so today and rolled back because this and Cyberpunk Red are not updated

[cinder rock]

Ty ty. Your testing has done us all a service

[granite apex]

Is there any possibility of setting table color and border to none without using a custom css stylesheet?

I literally just need one table to not have borders or shading LOL

[brittle pond]

Hey, quick question...

is there a way to make a hidden "database" with CSB?
i need to make a database with XP and coresponding level...
but i haven't found a way

[bright glacier]

Any news about the update to version 11?

[formal goblet]

We are currently working on some new features, but I think we´ll update to V11 either with the next major patch or shortly after.

[dire socket]

Hello, so I've updated to 2.2.6

And I couldn't help but notice that my main character sheet happens to be completely broken

hidden values are still present within it, but it also seems to affect the actual sheets that rely on this template, being blank.

nvm, seems like... renaming(???) the sheet brings it back

[white pumice]

As a newb here, does next major patch mean a week, a month, or what timeframe in general? Or is that a dumb question? lol

[formal goblet]

I can't really tell when. But we know that you all want to update. Just be a bit patient 😄

[granite apex]

Yep, renaming it makes all the fields populate. I've also noticed that sometimes edits to the template require a full restart to take place. Could be that I have it open for too long (8 hours while I work remote and play around in my spare time for example)

[dire socket]

Oh I see, it also seems that restarting foundry causes it to have the same issue again, which is a tad inconvenient

[dire socket]

You wouldnt happen to have the action buttons module would you?

[granite apex]

Nope

[dire socket]

Hmmm guess its not that then

[somber bay]

Cant update until Cyberpunk Red updates so that 'buys you time' 😆

[ivory dome]

Hello, is anyone else having trouble creating sub-templates after updating to 2.2.6? Every time I try to add anything to a subtemplate, I get an undefined error. I think it is failing to read the key I'm entering for the component? This is what the console said:

[vagrant hollow]

The foundry license allows you several installations, but only one active game per time.
So at the moment I have: one v9 backup of old settings, one v10 actual gaming, one v11 testing the new possibilities, one v10 on usb stick for programming and testing new ideas.
But I am a self hoster and switching between the installations is a bit annoying.

[somber bay]

Yeah I can tell it is not very DRM protected and you do not need to log in to use it which is a relief since I tend to hack and mess with things (I mean here I am in Custom System Builder lol) so I like knowing I will not somehow lose access.

[somber bay]

I love that CSB let me turn my friends draconian RPG into something fast to play

one click for hit roll, check if critical, damage (x2 if critical), damage type (in the weapon) and location.

[brittle moth]

As @formal goblet said, we are currently working on a release with many features, I planned to tackle v11 right after 🙂
It should not be too hard, as the Foundry devs tried to minimize the impact on system and module developments 🙂
I try not to update the system too soon, as I can't maintain two versions at the same time 🙂

[brittle moth]

Hm. I can reproduce your issue. I'll try and fix it quickly 🙂

[brittle moth]

Seems like I spoke too soon...
I found the solution for your issue, but my current beta system prevents me from doing a hotfix...
Seems like I'm gonna need some time to rethink the beta system ><

[brittle moth]

Should be fixed with 2.2.7 🙂
The beta system has also been modified to not impact the main version hotfixes anymore 🙂
Beta should now be 2.3.0-rc2

[ivory dome]

Thanks so much, at the very least, I now know I didn't break anything!

[brittle moth]

no, my fault entirely ^^

[ivory dome]

Now I'm dealign with the same "blank sheets on refresh" issue Tito brought up. Renaming the sheet does bring everything back. Here is what the console is saying:

[noble tendon]

Hi, i found a problem in rolls.
I am using

${arma1_name}$  contra ${getPropertyDataFromActor('target', 'nombre')}$```
Modificadores only admit one modifier, when i use 2 o mre modifiers, for example +30-10-40, say error.
How the player can input multiply modifiers in a roll?

[brittle moth]

Hi 🙂
They should input the final modifier, in your case -20
This is not a computed value, it must be a direct value

[brittle moth]

I never encountered this issue. Is it when you reload the template from the character ? From the template sheet ? Can you send me an export of the problematic character & template ?

[noble tendon]

Is there anyway to may the input and the roll later?

[brittle moth]

absolutely, the inputs & rolls should be in the same message, but not necessarily in the same Formula.
You could do something like :

${#Modificadores:=?{Mod1}+?{Mod2}+?{Mod3}}$
Realiza un ataque ${[1d100x>=90+:arma1_ataque:]+Modificadores}$ usando su
${arma1_name}$  contra ${getPropertyDataFromActor('target', 'nombre')}$

**Beta version 2.3.0-rc3 is now available, with the following changes : **

Features

• [#200] Added item template modifiers
• [#126] Added ability to edit properties from Formulas
• [#153] Added ability to apply modifiers to Dynamic Table Fields

Known issues

• Undo / Redo button functionality has been improved, rendering the first implementation incompatible. Any undo/redo history you may have is not to be used after updating beta. You can clean it by executing the following code in your javascript console :
  game.actors.forEach((actor) => {if(actor.isTemplate){actor.setFlag('custom-system-builder', 'templateHistory', []);actor.setFlag('custom-system-builder', 'templateHistoryRedo', []);}});
• Undo / Redo is not available for items yet. It will be added in the following beta release, and of course before the main version release

Please refer to the README BETA for instructions on new features : https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/blob/develop/README_BETA.md
FYI, Manifest URL for the beta version is https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/31995966/jobs/artifacts/beta/raw/out/system.json?job=build-beta

If you encounter any issues with the beta version, please open issues on gitlab and specify you are using the Beta in the issue title !
https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/issues/new

[ivory dome]

So whenever I log in or F5 refresh the world, the sheets are blank. But when I change the name on the sheet, it works. Seems to only affect all Actor sheets, Item sheets are fine. Reloading from the template works only after the sheet is "restored".

[winter folio]

Hi,
Is there a way to change the color of a roll depending on the result ?
I have tried the following roll message but without success

<div style="text-align:center";>
<h2>Custom Roll</h2>
<table>
<tr>
<th>${Roll:=[1d20]}$ + ${VitaliteCurrentValue}$</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th style="font-size:medium; color:${Roll==20 ? 'green': 'black'}$"> ${Roll + VitaliteCurrentValue}$</th>
</tr>
</div>

[formal goblet]

That´s what I did:

<table>
<tr>
<th>Rolling for (whatever)</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Rolls</td>
<td>${roll_1:= [1d6]}$ ${roll_2:= [1d6]}$ <span style="color: red">${roll_3:= [1d6]}$</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Total</td>
<td>${roll_1 + roll_2 + roll_3}$</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Stunt-Points</td>
<td><strong>${(roll_1 == roll_2 and roll_2 == roll_3) ? roll_3 * 2 : (roll_1 == roll_2 or roll_2 == roll_3 or roll_1 == roll_3) ? roll_3 : 0}$</strong></td>
</tr>
</table>

[winter folio]

Is it possible to link a token from a scene with it's sheet from the actor tab ?
So by decreasing the hp from the token it is also decrease on the sheet from the actor tab
Like with the pf2e system

[undone smelt]

That's what Link Actor Data does (in the actor's Prototype Token config).

[pearl tree]

what is the @ for an ability score's modifier?

[formal goblet]

@?

Do we know when CSB should be expected to work with Foundry11?

[lethal flax]

so how long til this updates for v11?

[vagrant hollow]

#1037072885044477962 message

[severe patio]

is there any way to make it show text like "1=pass,0=fail" and make it look nice like normal roll?

[raven tree]

Hi I am trying to do two things - one I want to return 6s and 1s from a result (I assume I need to create an array and then count both sixes and ones - I tried assigning a value to a roll e.g. ${roll:=[((:Strength_Score:+:Callesthenics_Score:+:Wounds_Score:+:RollModifier_Score:)D6])}$ then ${(roll)cs=3}$ but I assume it only persists the total value of the result (so say 14 as opposed to (1,3,6,4) anyone have any ideas how I work this? sorry not a function or script person

My second question is there anyway to give Players control of a re-roll so they can trigger a re-roll of all dice not showing a 1 or a 6 (all good if no

[formal goblet]

${#roll:= [1d100cs<=:status_str:]}$
${roll == 1 ? 'Pass' : 'Fail'}$

[severe patio]

Thank you, second one is that, how to make proficiency box, like

for example, if we check this box, the rolling would use "stat1+#" but if not it would be "stat1"

[formal goblet]

• The system doesn't support roll arrays atm. So you'd have to use macros instead.
• That's also not possible without macros

[raven tree]

No worries - was a dream of madness

Players will be able to see the dice and make use of them so all good

PS Its a nice system - I have set up a playable interface in about 8 hours (noting I had to teach myself a fair amount of formula work in the process)

[formal goblet]

${#roll_formula:= concat('1d20+', stat1, proficiency_checkbox ? concat('+', proficiency) : '')}$
${roll:= [:roll_formula:]}$

[severe patio]

thank you

[tranquil hollow]

CSB is great, was very happy to find it, thank you for all of your hard work

However I do have some questions

I'm trying to figure out the section for item containers- I see templates listed in the screenshot in the guide for item container filters, but don't see any in mine, and I'm unsure how to make my own templates

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/#5-items-

Go to the item-tab and you´ll be able to create an Item Template there

[severe patio]

Any chance we can do "If" command in VTT? like for example,

=IF(P11<(10), "3",IF(P11<(14), "4" ))
P11 being key P11

[tranquil hollow]

thanks!

I don't know how i missed that section

[formal goblet]

Ternary-Operator: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Conditional_operator

[tranquil hollow]

So to really get a solid understanding of building a sheet, I wanted to take a look at what a full template would look like from a system I know (for example, linkedflush's WFRP4e sheets) and look at the different roll formulas, etc

so, I imported those .json and, while it imported, when i open up the templates they're blank

[severe patio]

Sorry but can we just put those into Label section? or do we need to do anything else

[tranquil hollow]

is there some way to resolve this or is an imported .json not meant to work like that?

wait, just had to reload it

never mind

[formal goblet]

${P11 < 10 ? 3 : P11 < 14 ? 4 : 0}$ is all you need in your Label

[severe patio]

Do we need to edit the code somewhere? or like put the code anywhere else. It just show up as this (P11=10) and not the return result

[formal goblet]

Forgot to add ${}$

[severe patio]

Sorry, add that in P11? or add to entire thing?

[formal goblet]

Check my example

[severe patio]

Thank you very much, it work now

[severe patio]

If I want ### to have small number field, what do I add?

this code provide here only make the input field auto size and it's annoying <input type="number" id="status-men-input" value="${[(:status_men:)]}$" onchange="calculateResult()">

or like, are there any way to make it sit on same line

[tranquil hollow]

What would be the best way to approximate something like this? I essentially want five columns, with a text field at the top, and then rows that can be added individually to each column without them being added to the others

Would it be something like

5 column Table with text fields
And then one dynamic table per main table column?

[fierce harbor]

Dynamic table lets you add a full row, not single columns. You should, I think, use 5 separate dynamic tables, but that would lead to creating 5 separate items to be added, one for each table.
Would it be viable using static tables with elements to be made visible as needed with checkboxes?
It's a burden, but could work.

[tranquil hollow]

I figured it out

[fierce harbor]

Nice. How did you solve it?

[tranquil hollow]

If you put a dynamic table in each column, it allows adding a single entry into that column

this system builder is extremely helpful, i'm very happy i found it

results in

[dire socket]

Is there a way to remove this awkward box?

For images on labels of course.

[tranquil hollow]

Stupid question: I have a number field that needs to be centered... what's a good way to do that?

[fierce harbor]

CSS, I believe.

[dire socket]

Figured :playdead:

Guess I'll look into myself when I get the chance

[fierce harbor]

Tables panels allow you to choose component alignement, if I remember correctly, within each column.

[tranquil hollow]

Yeah, and I chose "center" and it didn't work :/

[fierce harbor]

Well...
The label and the box are two separate columns, right?

[tranquil hollow]

No, it's the label of the box

....

lol

I put in a capital C instead of a lowercase c

lmao

thanks anyways

[fierce harbor]

Np, glad to be of assistance if possible 😉

[somber bay]

How do I edit properties from a formula in the beta? I do not see it in the beta readme or addressed in the recent chat @brittle moth I really wanna test this

[brittle moth]

Here it is !
https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/blob/develop/README_BETA.md#4211-setpropertyinentity

[tranquil hollow]

What's the best way you guys have found to learn javascript formulas? I have little knowledge of coding.

[brittle moth]

This system does not use javascript directly, it uses its own "language" for the formulas 🙂
You can enter simple math equations as formulas (1+2, str*4)
You can also use a series of mathematical functions described here : https://mathjs.org/docs/reference/functions.html

Here is a presentation of the full syntax : https://mathjs.org/docs/expressions/syntax.html

[tranquil hollow]

Thank you! And thank you for putting this together, it's really cool and I've found it extremely useful

Now I don't have to use roll20 🙏

[somber bay]

one more thing I keep seeing blank templates in the beta even when I make a 'a whole new world' any idea how to troubleshoot this?

[somber bay]

Gonna go do something else but could not do any testing

In beta 2.3.0 rc3

1. I cannot make character templates work no matter what I do
2. Item templates do not show the Item Template Modifiers as a button (which I would assume it would be like regular items)
3. I created an item that would attempt to modify it's user and I would get a mistake

Is it possible the beta does not contain the updates?

[formal goblet]

{formula: "setPropertyInEntity('attatched', 'life', 20)", props: {…}}. Formula contains a typo: attatched -> attached

[formal goblet]

The beta contains all the new stuff. Just make sure that your world actually runs the beta and not the normal version.

[somber bay]

Ok I created a world that is 100% clean beta

and I get this creating an item template
commons.js:6407 Uncaught (in promise) Error: Flag scope "custom-system-builder" is not valid or not currently active
at CustomItem.setFlag (commons.js:6407:44)

(it is an empty world nothing dropped in it, no modules, just got that creating my first template to test)

[formal goblet]

Ok, I can confirm the issue. @brittle moth

[somber bay]

So I think it just does not like being called custom-system-builder-beta

I backed up my custom system builder, made a copy without the beta... and that is where it checks and finds the things it wants and all the new features show up (character template is still brokenish)

Like internally I think it follows a custom-system-builder folder structure for everything instead of -beta which is the installed one

(I'm not good at computers so this is speculation)

[formal goblet]

I´ve already tried to change the system-id to the normal one but that doesn´t fix anything. I´ll see if I can find the issue

ok, I don´t get the issue with the up-to-date-branch, so it´s really something with the 'beta'-thing.

[somber bay]

If it is a hint some of the errors point at the undo - redo like it's looking for a history that does not exist as it would be without the BETA

I got it to work by copying it to a folder without the beta and removing the beta from the ID in the main json and then creating a new world... my template got no errors and has the + to add stuff gonna test the rest

[formal goblet]

And I´ve found the issue in the code-base. The flag 'custom-system-builder' is static, but the beta uses 'custom-system-builder-beta'. So this flag should be either constant through both versions or set dynamically depending on the environment (environment variables)

[somber bay]

OH ANOTHER THING... for some reason the formula HAS to be in " " the way it is written so that it can strip the " " otherwise you get a mistake

I'm not a coder but this is the segment that kept giving me errors
setPropertyInEntity: (entityName, propertyName, formula, fallbackValue = null) => {
formula = formula.replaceAll('"', ' ');
formula = '${' + formula + '}$';

and it finally worked when I changed setPropertyInEntity('self', 'HP', 20) to setPropertyInEntity('self', 'HP', "20") so it could happily replace the " and do it's thing

I think because it is expecting a string and the 20 is a number or something I'm not that savvy

with this figured out I'm gonna donate when I can OMG @formal goblet and at @brittle moth this is such a game changer!

I'm now clicking to heal, clicking to reduce quanity, gonna try clicking to unequip and adding 'mana usage' to a spell after I do the dishes and clean the kitchen

[somber bay]

Clickable equip unequip

[brittle moth]

Hello @somber bay !
Thank you for your support and for this bug report 🙂
It will be fixed for the next beta release 🙂
Your implementation of item-changing labels is nice, I must say ^^

[faint wharf]

guys i see in changelog 2.3 but i can only update to 2.2.7 why?

[brittle moth]

@faint wharf 2.3 is in beta for the moment, not available in the main release channel 🙂

I will indicate that in the CHANGELOG 🙂

[faint wharf]

oh ok cant wait to implement waight and AC in my system! thank you for all those developments

[oblique spear]

Hello @somber bay .
Your clickable equip unequip demonstration is very nice and probably useful !
It will be nice to integrate your example with fews explanations in Tips and tricks on the CSB gitlab wiki 🙂

[prisma orchid]

Hey there! It's me again 🙂 Maybe i'm just too dense, maybe it can't be done. Is there a way to display the token image of a targeted token on a sheet somehow?

[somber bay]

Honestly that stuff is gonna look 'easy' once the beta goes mainstream. I always struggled with macros but with this it is like 'think about it for a minute and just do it' so much easier.

[potent fossil]

is '/amacro' not working anymore for someone else ?

[minor atlas]

Hello guys, some1 knows a way to use the module "Item Piles" in CSB? Or at least where the itens are in the system, the full link, like the atributes "actor.system.attributeBar.etc"

[formal goblet]

Should be under actor.items

[granite apex]

The following image is 3 item containers, each column is Smaller and Right Align, but it all seems to depend on the name size of the item. Am I missing something, or can I have it set to where the two colums on the right are always in the same position? I realize the one with the trash icon won't be.

No need, I resolved it using a different style and format

[pale tusk]

Has anyone found a fix for the issue where keys' default states don't work until you physically click the input? (For instance, a checkbox defaults to a blank, not a false; a number input defaults to a null value that throws errors, not the default value you enter, until you click the field to make the sheet recognize it. This means, in effect, having to click into every input field at least once before the sheet will recognize the content of the field.)

[crimson sapphire]

hi, how do I use custom css?

i've created a custom css file with a single class with color: red; and them assigned the class to the template, but the sheets dont change :(

[olive shard]

Is there any way to get data from an Item Container. Like let's say I have an item table for item that represents classes and each item tracks how many class levels someone has in that class. I want to be able to calculate the total number of class levels.
The other way I see for that is using a dynamic table which would be fine, except I want a link to that item, so I can repurpose it. How can I get a link to an item in the item directory like the first row of an Item Container as an entry in a dynamic table(I know that that one in particular links to the copy on the actor of that item, but there has to be a way to get a link to an item from the item directory, right?)?
I tried using a rich text field, droping an item inside of that, which generates that nice string, but when I save it does not become a link.

[granite apex]

You can have a hidden attribute for each class on the player sheet, and have an equal hidden attribute on the "item" that adds to the selected class, then have a formula in a Label that interprets it.

Such as:
Player attribute: class_fighter value 0
Item Fighter Skill: class_fighter + 1
Label: ${class_fighter}$

[olive shard]

Nice, thank you. You can even add the level tracked in the item. That makes it a bit more dynamic.

[dire socket]

So apparently hiding tabbed panels seems to break the sheet.

I'm not entirely sure what is happening, but it only seems to work sometimes on some sheets, but currently the issue makes it impossible to open older sheets and make new sheets that use the template with the hidden formula.

[dusk surge]

Is there a way I can ajutomate Custom System Builder to roll 316 style initiative?

In 316, you have a scolre called NFA.
To determine initiative, you roll 1d10 and that number is your initiative. Unless it is over your NFA, then your initiative is 0.

[static lotus]

Is there an example of someone using the getPropertyDataFrom Actor function? I'm trying to use the "attached" reference to look up a property in an item's attached actor and I can't seem to make it work. The statement reads:
${getPropertyDataFromActor("selected", "diceMod")}$

[granite apex]

Anyone know what the variable is for an item name? I tried name, itemname, item.name (though this should only work in containers) and no luck

[vagrant hollow]

You have to restart your world to let foundry use the css.

[tranquil hollow]

Is there support for v11 yet?

Are there any way to copy table and paste it for the next one?

[fierce harbor]

You can ctrl-drag to make a copy

[severe patio]

Thank you so much, this cut off like 50% time lose for me

[severe patio]

is there a way to get "Total load" and "Max equip load" to show up as number for the "Load%" to work? I tried component key and when I put up component key the whole sheet doesn't even work

I mean I can do this, but I have if else encumbered ready to go, and I don't want to put that whole Load code < 20 =something

[severe patio]

I might be dumb but I don't know which one of it is similar to my question in FAQ

[formal goblet]

You shouldn´t use colons : if you´re not using rolls.

[severe patio]

so just dp something like ${status_str}$ right?

work now, thank youi

another one, how do we use it if return value is text?
I got it, just dumbo and forget to add ""

[forest echo]

[Custom System Builder Question] I'm working on creating a sword world 2.5 character sheet using custom system builder to make the sheets. (i've got cursory programming knowledge but not enough to build an entire system from scratch) Does anyone know how to jury rig check boxes into a type of radio button set that won't allow other boxes in the set to be checked?

where the check boxes marked Scout Ranger and Special are listed are the checkboxes I'm trying to get modified so that only one can be selected at a time.

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/701846414208008302/1113293648839327754/image.png

[formal goblet]

The system doesn´t offer radio groups, so you´d basically need a custom implementation.

But we have dropdowns 🙃

[forest echo]

Thanks still having trouble with drop downs

[forest echo]

so question how do i reference something off a dropdown then?

for say a conditional

[fierce harbor]

You can only reference the key corresponding to the selection.
And in conditionals only numbers work...or at least that's what I found.

[formal goblet]

That´s because you cannot compare strings with ==. But you´re able to use equalText() for string-comparisons, so comparing strings is possible, just not with ==.

[fierce harbor]

Right, my bad on that 😅

[dusk surge]

Is there a way I can automate Custom System Builder to roll 316-style initiative?

In 316, you have a score called NFA.
To determine initiative, you roll 1d10 and that number is your initiative. Unless it is over your NFA, then your initiative is 0.

[fierce harbor]

There is an initiative formula in settings, where I think you can set up a conditional. Or you can set up a label with your roll formula, but dunno how it counts towards combat turn.

[dusk surge]

Thanks, does the ${}$ formation support "if" statements? I am not much of a coder and am trying to figure out the best way to do this...

[brittle moth]

It supporte ternary opertors 🙂
https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder#43-conditions

[wild salmon]

Ok, I've got antoher question. I'm trying to make items that modify my attributes, which I have in a blank label. A sword is supposed to give +1 ATK. I have a label keyed ATK but the sword isn't adding anything went dropped on the sheet

[dusk surge]

Cool!

Also, what is a ternary operator?

[formal goblet]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Conditional_operator

[dusk surge]

Oh, I hit the link, that helps a lot, thanks!

I really did read the wiki, I am just not understanding it all yet. Thank you all for this awesome module!

Is there a way to do a Label Roll Message for a pool of dice that doesn't sum them, but returns them as individual die results?

[fierce harbor]

Is that the only weapon that has to modify ATK? If so, adding item.atkmod (or whatever it's called) to ATK should do the trick. If not, either you have to use macros or have equipped checkboxes that you can use inside the ATK formula.

[wild salmon]

I'm certainly not ready to try and tackle macros just yet, and this is not the only item that is going to modify a stat. But inside of an item container, I can't seem to be to add a checkbox to make it "equip"...hmm

to back up, I'm trying to use the box "configure item modifiers" to modify the ATK score by +1 with the Sword. Is that not the place to do that?

[fierce harbor]

Containers take labels only. You can achieve that by using a table with a fixed number of rows, one per item, each containing an equipped checkbox. That is what I did, for example.

[brittle moth]

You need to add a modifier to the item, configured like so :

• Key : ATK
• Operator : +
• Formula : either 1 (direct value) or ${ATK_MOD}$ (to use an ATK_MOD field in the weapon)

Be careful though, items are copied when added to a character. Modifying the original item after adding it to a charater will not change the item on the character, you either have to delete and re-add it or modify it directly on the character 🙂

[fierce harbor]

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this way for every item with that modifier key the corresponding value gets added to ATK, doesn't it?

[brittle moth]

Item modifiers are defined per-item, only items with this modifier will add the ATK_MOD to the ATK of the character

[wild salmon]

This is exactly how I have it configured. I then drag it over to the character and get no change. The ATK is keyed to a label that I have done nothing to modify from it's defualt state. Is this the correct way?

[fierce harbor]

The label text has to be ${0}$, if I remeber correctly.

[brittle moth]

Indeed, as @fierce harbor said, the Label must have an initial value, which must be a number. It can be 0, no need for ${}$ in this case 🙂

[wild salmon]

When I put it in as "0" that did not work.

When I just put it in as ${0}$ worked like a charm.

[fierce harbor]

Could it be another stat?

[brittle moth]

it could, inside a Formula 🙂
Could be defined as ${floor(Strength / 10)}$ for example

[brittle moth]

Weird, works on my side... Then again, I test with the developing version, which can have corrections included ^^"

[fierce harbor]

Thanks for clarifying this point 👍🏻

[brittle moth]

AS long as the formula results in a number, everything should work 🙂

[wild salmon]

I'm a liar. 0 works. I originally had them in as number fields instead of label fields. When I switched to label, I must have just gone with a blank field, which actually netted me a 0 on the character sheet.

[fierce harbor]

Good to know 😉

[wild salmon]

Things are working as intended for now. Next problem is figuring out how to deal with changing levels, if I'm using class as a templated item. Since values really can't change once you bring them to an actor sheet, I'm afraid leveling up will be grabbing the new level in the class to add to your sheet to get a additive effect.

[brittle moth]

Values can change 🙂
In the item containers, if you click in the name of the item, it's the copied item which gets opened, not the original
Any changes in this item will only be applied to itself, and not be reflected on the original 🙂
So you can handle levels in the item, and have multiple characters play the same class at a different level 🙂

[fierce harbor]

I solved that avoiding automatic changes at level-up 😬
What I'm battling with is macros for hp/mana/etc. changes...but I'll eventually be victorious 😅

[wild salmon]

I think that's what I'm going to go with as well. A new item for every level, but so as not to clutter the sheet, I'm going to make the modifiers the total of the levels combined instead of just the totals for that level. It's about the same amount of work either way 🤷‍♀️

[wild salmon]

Very true, but that also means that it's not a drag and drop affair, which is what I really want for this as it's a playtest, and I want to make it as easy as possible to manipulate the vtt, so the players can focus on the game mechanics rather than the vtt mechanics.

[potent fossil]

Sorry to ask again 😅 but I'm wondering if "/amacro" is working for anybody ? It suddenly stopped working for me

[prisma orchid]

works for me. but i haven't updated since the weekend or so.

[dusk surge]

I put this:
${Roll := [1d10] ; Roll > ?{ FAorNFA | 2 } ? 0 : Roll}$
in the Initiative Formula.
It prompted for the number, then gave me an error:

What did I do wrong?

[brittle moth]

You should not use ${}$ in the initiative formula
Your formula should be directly Roll := [1d10] ; Roll > ?{ FAorNFA | 2 } ? 0 : Roll

Besides, i'm not really sure if variables work in the Initiative formula... I might have to test this out

[dusk surge]

Ah, does this help:

Judging from the output, the Roll variable seems to be working, but maybe not the user prompt?

[formal goblet]

Variables usually work there (if you mean the keys). It would be tricky with temporary variables.

[dusk surge]

If I am reading the log correctly,
?{ FAorNFA | 2 }
seems to always return 2, regardless of what I inout at the prompt.

I am new, so I might not be reading it correctly.

[formal goblet]

The semicolon is the issue, you can have only 1 result within a formula.

[dusk surge]

Oh, OK, I wasn't sure how to compare the roll and return the roll in the same ternary...

[formal goblet]

Yeah, I'm unsure if your logic is doable because you can only have 1 formula in the initiative-formula

[granite apex]

Is there a way to roll Xd6 and both total the results and check it for 1's? For example, can you recall the roll result?

I recently discovered how to do a user imput for the X in the roll, so that's all good

[formal goblet]

Nope, only one of both.

[granite apex]

Button options on an item it is then!

[dusk surge]

Can I use a Key in the Initiative Formula and if so, does it require a ::?

[formal goblet]

Check the Wiki for that. As a rule of thumb: Use : only inside [].

[dusk surge]

Ah, OK, thanks!

[granite apex]

Here's a head scratcher... I like the way the text looks in the block for dice rolls, so I am trying to get it to use a variable called special_message set on the same sheet. I have tried the following (among other varrients) to no avail. Thoughts?

${special_message}$
${'special_message'}$
${concat(string('),string(special_message),string('))}$

[granite apex]

${concat(string(special_message))}$ was the solution

[static lotus]

I'm wondering if I've gone about this the wrong way, but I'm trying to figure out how to create a roll button on an item that can be modified by a value in the item's parent character sheet. Essentially, the item is a power that the character rolls, but there might be modifiers to that roll that are captured in a field in the character sheet. Is this something I'd do with getPersonalDataFromActor or should I try another approach?

[vagrant hollow]

I updated today (Foundry v10 AdvancedMacro v1.19.6) and it works as expected.

[oblique willow]

I've made my own D&D4e spinoff system, and I've gotten most details down pretty well. However, I can't seem to find a way to let the user add a modifier / select from a dropdown?

On roll20 you'd do a simple [1d20 + ?{Modifier?|0}]
Which would prompt the user to to input a modifier, where the default value is 0

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/FAQ/Frequently-Asked-Questions#q-i-want-to-ask-the-user-for-input-before-a-roll-gets-submitted

[oblique willow]

Hm, but that doesn't work in chat macros right? I find the roll messages to be cumbersome to make, especially when you need hundreds of them

[formal goblet]

Dunno. Never worked with chat macros. But my guess would be that CSB-formulas don´t work there.

[severe patio]

how to set up HP/ MP and all those bar properly into the token?

[formal goblet]

Make sure that your number fields have a max-value. Then just select the corresponding attribute bar.

[severe patio]

I'll try

[tranquil hollow]

So I'm working on the same thing

I put in a test default max value for HP (999, in this case), but apparently that's universal for every token sharing that template. So if max HP changes from character to character, how can I do that?

[scarlet skiff]

Try unlinking the token

[tranquil hollow]

Wasn't linked to begin with :/

So different question: trying to roll initiative. I want to set up a specific formula and need help writing the right one. Specifically, I want to find some way so specific dice results are parsed different.

Essentially:
[numberfield1] times [d6 {0,0,0,1,1,2}] + [numberfield2] is what I want to accomplish, where 1-3 on the d6 count as "0", 4 and 5 on the d6 count as "one", and 6 counts as "2"

For example,

Numberfield 1 = 4, number field 2 = 1
(4*d6)+1, where the results of the 4d6 are 2 (0) 4 (1) 5 (1) 6 (2), giving me a total number of 5

Is this possible?

[formal goblet]

The max-value can be a formula. So it can be set dynamically.

[tranquil hollow]

Ah

[formal goblet]

It´s possible to count successes within a roll. That´s part of the Foundry Roll API: https://foundryvtt.com/article/dice-advanced/

The only thing I don´t know is, if it is possible to have 2 successes on a rolled 6.

[tranquil hollow]

Thanks. It's actually something I copped from Cubicle 7's wrath and glory, and mooman was able to implement that successfully

But maybe he had to format it specially for that.

[fierce harbor]

Have you thought using roll tables? You could apply defferent weights to roll results.

[tranquil hollow]

hmm

[fierce harbor]

Haven't studied them in depth so I might be wrong, but you could look into them 😉

[tranquil hollow]

thanks!

[fierce harbor]

No probs 👍🏻

[tranquil hollow]

Hmm, would it be possible to have it just add an extra 1 per 6 rolled at the end of the formula?

[formal goblet]

The issue is that you don´t have access to the whole array in CSB

[fierce harbor]

Would it work adding the number of successes, success being a 6?

EDIT: I now see it would not work, as you need 4,5,6 as successes.

[tranquil hollow]

Would it be possible to reference a script macro?

[somber bay]

On updating fields within a roll (beta) is there the ability to delete an item or is it something we could get? I do not wanna add it to requests unless there is a good reason to.
