Custom System Builder

[sharp geyser]

Firing Modes can wait because that's a pandora's box I do not want to try and open.

[formal goblet]

${item.name}$

[zinc verge]

Bet thank you!!

[zinc verge]

So you’ve got it set up to reference the attack’s target and declare in the roll message if the attack succeeded or not, huh?

[sharp geyser]

Will be doing yes :)

Just need to get skills finished so I can have an actual value to use for said attacks lmao

More importantly though, the targets DR and DT are taken into account when determining damage. Already figured the formula out for it.

[static zephyr]

For skills, I made a dynamic table that I'm pretty happy with. You may end up using items for them, since you see more comfortable doing that, but it beat the first way I tried, which was having a huge, hardcoded table.

That makes this on the char sheet.

[sharp geyser]

Is basically what I was going for, but the issue I have with tables in general is that it takes a significant time to re-arrange them. I may well change how I've set this up in the future if I change something (OCD brain likes to alphabetise lol)

[static zephyr]

The dynamic tables are way better for the rearrangement issue. I started with a normal table, and you're right, it was like pulling teeth.

[sharp geyser]

Well, I'll probably sink my teeth into it (see what I did there) at a later time, but basic functions are good. I overengineered the hell out of my firearm template because I intend to re-use it for other weapon types (melee, thrown).

Thinking about it, I could probably have Melee & Thrown use the same template, since if you're going to use it in a fight, you'll probably end up throwing it at some point lol

[sharp geyser]

While I've got you though;
I'm thinking of using a Dynamic Table for tracking XP thresholds for levels? Good idea or no?

[zinc verge]

Initiative formula works the same way as the drag ruler thing from earlier right? I should be able to just put [1d20+actor.system.props.<my key>] yeah?

[static zephyr]

You can do that, you can use the dynamic tables to make reference material for yourself, or give your players a place to input stats that you reference for computation later.

[sharp geyser]

I don't think you'd need all that extra stuff? For mine, I just referrenced a property on the actor called "Sequence"

[static zephyr]

There's an initiative blank in the configuration settings for the system builder, so are you doing something in addition to messing with that?

[zinc verge]

Hmm 🤔 the initiative roller doesn’t do anything at all when I just do [1d20+<key>]

[zinc verge]

Nah that’s what I’m messing with specifically

[sharp geyser]

[1d20]+<key> should work?

[static zephyr]

I haven't started messing with that yet, because I don't know if I can do anything with initiative passes, but my first placeholder in there looked more like this. I thought you needed to program something in there to rank the players by.

[zinc verge]

I just realized why mine isn’t working. The key I was linking to wasn’t the stat I was trying to add, it was the entire formula itself, so my formula was reading, [1d20+(1d20+stat] 🤦‍♂️

Seeing yours just say the key made me realize

[static zephyr]

I haven't done much with actual foundry, but do you "need" initiative if you know what order to take turns in?

Like, is there any options that only unlock in combat?

[zinc verge]

Not really, initiative is just how we determine turn order to begin with so automating that first step is comfy

[sharp geyser]

For my, I took inspiration from Fallout 1 & 2, where your 'initiative' order is just determined by your sequence. In the event of a tie, I guess I'll make enemies go first. Or players, depending on the circumstance.

Plus it also adds more consistency to combat if you know that you're before (or after) one of your teammates.

[static zephyr]

I think we're going to end up having to roll initiative with the in-game roller and then annotate it ourselves, as SR4 does turns in chunks that are hard to automate.

${fetchFromDynamicTable('ammo_dyntable', 'ap_multi', 'ammo_type', ammo_select) == 1 ? fetchFromDynamicTable('ammo_dyntable', 'ammo_ap', 'ammo_type', ammo_select) : 'Half'}$ I'm having a senior moment because I can't get this ternary to work to save my life. I have some ammo that halves armor instead of doing a flat value, and I'm trying to make this say "If the ap multiplier is 1, then compute the modifiers, if not, just tell the player that it is Half," but it errors out on me. The fetches work on their own. It's something that I've done to combine them that throws an error.

[sharp geyser]

I do like the idea of AP ammo, but I wasn't able to put items inside containers of item templates. Would've been really nice to be able to do it that way.

I may just have to have an extra space on the table where weapons are for ammo and their sub-types.

[static zephyr]

I just have a table with all the values that I reference in the same place that the player will be looking during combat. It's still in work.

[sharp geyser]

I do need to make dynamic tables strictly for referrence because I know in the long run it's going to kill me lol

[static zephyr]

The only thing that has bit me so far is that there isn't a prompt if you accidently hit the "delete" key while you're rearranging arrows. Otherwise, they're great.

[raven seal]

isn't there a confirm delete checkbox in the options for dynamic tables?

[sharp geyser]

The problem is though, I also want as little player-interaction on items and stats wherever possible, so I can't 'afford' to have text labels just openly everywhere.

[sharp geyser]

I think that's on the 'player' side of things. Just tried it on a defunct dynamic table I had.

Forgot to refresh the template 🤦‍♂️

[static zephyr]

I will be damned.

Thank you.

[sharp geyser]

I want the Dropdown menu on the "Skills" table to utilise the "Total" from the SPECIAL table. How do I do that? >_>;

DynamicTable explainations are ... Unfortunately too complicated for my smoothbrain.

(Realised I replied to an unrelated thing just now. Damn it)

[fierce harbor]

I think it is sameRow(dyntabname,totcol,skillcol,skillname)
but I'm checking.

[sharp geyser]

Godspeed! :)

[fierce harbor]

Not sameRow but fetchFromDynamicTable, same args

[sharp geyser]

So, what's 'skillname' needed for in this instance? :s

(Just so I have it right)

[fierce harbor]

It should be the skill selected in the Skill table dropdown, if I understand correctly

[sharp geyser]

So I want to use the Red section to get a value to be used in the blue area.

I feel Dynamic Tables definitely need more explaining/examples on the documentation.

[fierce harbor]

Yes, basically. The red section gives you a reference skill to use in the yellow (it's yellow, isn't it 😅) section to retrieve the total you need displayed in the blue area.

[fierce harbor]

It is a tad tricky, but with a few hundred cycles of trial-and-error you get the hang of it 😂😉

[sharp geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/i-want-it-now-charley-and-the-chocolate-factory-tantrum-willy-wonka-gif-14590840

I'm so confused

[fierce harbor]

Please, elaborate 😁

[sharp geyser]

How do I get "base" to use "stat" to determine which "SPECIAL" to use to get the "SPECIAL Total" which is then to be used by "Base" as a value

[nova storm]

I tried to create a userinput template for dice rolls, but I couldn't get it to actual popup when I clicked the label that was supposed to invoke it. - I followed the format in the documentation.

Could someone post a code snippet from I've of their sheets?

[sharp geyser]

Had a similar issue yesterday, I think someone pointed out that they need to be encased in ${ and }$

So you need to double up the existing stuff which was on the document for some weird reason

[nova storm]

Right. Same thing I worked out I had to do on my item container damage roller

[warped garnet]

I may have found a partial workaround : in the Prototype Token settings page, you can actually select the attribute bar. So you just have to set it up for each character once, basically.

[dense pine]

Thats what i do Right now, But thx!

[sharp geyser]

https://giphy.com/gifs/peteandpete-season-3-the-adventures-of-pete-and-l1AsSI9b7It0hNTm8

[sharp geyser]

Literally me trying to do a simple thing with Dynamic Tables :|

[fierce harbor]

Let's see...
When you select, say, STR as Stat in Skill Table you use that like this:
fetchFromDynamicTable(<tableKey>,'SPECIAL Total','SPECIAL','Stat').
That should work.

If Skill Table is a DynTab too, it is:

fetchFromDynamicTable(<tableKey>,'SPECIAL Total','SPECIAL',sameRow('Stat').

Edit: sry, my bad

[sharp geyser]

I think I'm just cursed to not have it work

[fierce harbor]

Hmmm, what is the setup for those labes up there?

[sharp geyser]

Just so I know which is the "main" stat

Well, it's erroring now. So idk.

https://tenor.com/view/head-to-desk-boom-gif-25667908

[fierce harbor]

Can you post the template of that table?

[sharp geyser]

Template? :s

Oh you mean the actor template??

[fierce harbor]

Ok ty. If you please could post Base and Max setup that would be great 😉

[sharp geyser]

Max is empty #LivingDangerously

[fierce harbor]

I think you need ' ' around tableSpecial

[sharp geyser]

😢

I've actually gotten a pen and paper trying to figure out the Dynamic Table stuff on the documentation

It feels like I'm taking a class :|

[zinc verge]

Ngl several of the decisions I’ve made on how I’m setting up my templates is based around specifically trying not to use dynamic tables. They’re a touch intimidating to mess with imo

[sharp geyser]

I know they're going to be great if and when I figure this nightmare out, but ... My god. The feeling of ineptitude I'm experiencing right now is next level.

[zinc verge]

You’ll get there fam. Hold strong

But also, I get you lmao

The stuff I’ve been struggling with isn’t even half as complicated or involved

[sharp geyser]

Now I'm trying to recreate the tables on the document

And the thing isn't even showing up - Despite refreshing/updating the sheet

So much for trying to figure out wtf a "data path" is.

[fierce harbor]

I'll be not at my desk for the whole day, I'll get back to you as soon as possible
Keep trying, you'll get it 😉

[sharp geyser]

I'll die of old age before I figure this out

[fierce harbor]

I'll be not at my desk for the whole day, I'll get back to you as soon as possible
Keep trying, you'll get it 😉

[fierce harbor]

Nah, trust yourself

[sharp geyser]

I am. That's the problem.

Genuinely had to break it out like this

[fierce harbor]

It's all good if it gets you where you want 😉

[sharp geyser]

Headaches.

Somehow still unable to get the damned thing to work

Throwing in a "sameRow()" to target the dropdown causes it to flip its lid.

[fierce harbor]

If I'm not mistaken, it is 'sameRow("Stat")' .

Cannot test it and my memory dies not help 😅

[sharp geyser]

I mean it was better than me going in curcles

[zinc verge]

Is \n still the “new line” character for strings in CSB?

[sharp geyser]

As in to do this?
String1
String2

[zinc verge]

Correct

[sharp geyser]

I've never used but, have used <p> and </p> on start and ends of lines.

[scarlet skiff]

<br> also works

[zinc verge]

how exactly do I format it?
for reference, I have ${concat(ITEM_name,'Type: ',SPELL_type)}$
this is where I'd like the new line separation to be
${concat(ITEM_name,
'Type: ',SPELL_type)}$

[sharp geyser]

Screenshot?

[zinc verge]

Sorry it was faster to take a picture with my phone

[sharp geyser]

NP

[zinc verge]

so where it says "Frei Type: Nuclear"
I'd like it to go
"Frei
Type: Nuclear"

[sharp geyser]

Frei<p></p>Type: Nuclear

Should work

But if you want it to look nicer

<p>Frei</p>

Just so you don't have some disgusting touching code things.

ioplex also suggested using <br> which could be nice

[zinc verge]

${concat(<p>ITEM_name</p>,'Type: ',SPELL_type)}$ like this more or less?

[sharp geyser]

exactly

[zinc verge]

it returned an error 😅

[sharp geyser]

Unsure-

Hmm

You may just have to change the 'text size' to not be auto? :s

[zinc verge]

doesn't seem to have affected anything. I think that only controls the size of the component within the template

[sharp geyser]

I pressed enter too early

But, you could also do something like this:
Item: ${(I TEM_name}$
Type: ${SPELL_type)}$

[zinc verge]

oh huh, I'll try that rq

[sharp geyser]

wait

I fucked it L}

:|*

fixed

Meanwhile I've made two pieces of paper to try and solve this fucking dynamic table idiocy

[zinc verge]

ah it just makes them separate boxes. That makes sense tho

[sharp geyser]

And it isn't goddamned working

Conclusion: DynamicTables are made by satan

2.5hrs wasted by circling the DynamicTable drain

[scarlet skiff]

i think you need the html as extra text so more like this?
``{concat(ITEM_name,'<br>','Type: ',SPELL_type)}$`
don't know if this works please try it

[zinc verge]

Returned as an error

[sharp geyser]

Break them up into two different functions using ${}$ and place <br> between them

[zinc verge]

Oooooh gotcha

Yeah that worked!

[sharp geyser]

Now if only I could get this stupid function to work

[fierce harbor]

What is your last formula attempt?

[sharp geyser]

I literally just realised that one of the functions I had copied (as part of an example) was incorrect.

So idk how long I spent wasted trying to get a function to work, when its foundation was incorrect :|

[fierce harbor]

But you found out 😉

[sharp geyser]

after what I suspect was 20 minutes

:/

[sharp geyser]

${getRefFromDynamicTable('tableSpecial','tableSpecialTotal', 'tableSpecialName', string(sameRow('tableSkill200')))}$ See this looks like it should work, but it absolutely is not

If I knew I didn't need dynamic tables so much, I would have given up on this.

HALLELUJAH

THERE IS A GOD

[fierce harbor]

Why getRef and not fetchFromDynamicTable?

[sharp geyser]

Yeah just changed it to that

Would honestly

I wish the documentation for dynamic tables was 300% longer and explained more.

Instead of "this is this. But we don't explain why this one is better, or its purpose. But you can figure it out. We did."

Just salty

https://tenor.com/view/so-salty-salt-bae-bitter-jealous-angry-gif-17584364

[scarlet skiff]

i am reminded why my sheet is so bare-bones 😅

[sharp geyser]

Honestly I don't blame you.

[scarlet skiff]

it doesn't help that my skills are not that easy to create and manage. so macros was on the table from the beginning. so i just got rid of all rolls on the sheet 🤷‍♂️

[sharp geyser]

I'm clearly the opposite lmao. Too much creativity but not enough technical ability lmao

By "not enough" I obviously mean non-existant

[scarlet skiff]

well i started i think 3 months ago with 0 knowledge of javascript
but i have to say understanding javascript is way easier than CSB-formulars

[sharp geyser]

Needless to say, you've circumvented it haha. I don't have that level of tenacity to learn coding, so I stick to what I know (mostly)

[scarlet skiff]

after all CSB is great for creating a sheet with little effort - so a big thank you to the Dev's for that. 🙂

[sharp geyser]

Agreed. There's absolutely no way I'd be able to do this much stuff on my own.

[static zephyr]

Did you figure this out? It'd be like ${fetchFromDynamicTable('top_dyntable', 'special_total', 'SPECIAL_COL', stat_dropdown)}$ where stat dropdown is not a string.

[sharp geyser]

Yeah I got there in the end

So many things were wrong. I was using a function which hecked, and who knows what else.

[static zephyr]

I was asleep when you asked. I had just done that for my ammo select.

[sharp geyser]

Just doing some reworking of stuff to do with my "character sheet" part

[static zephyr]

I saw your discussion of "sameRow" I belive that is only useful when you're trying to add the stuff in two rows together, like if you wanted to have a base and a modifier in one row and calculate a total, the way you would reference the objects in a formula would use same row. If you're just picking individual cells of a table, then you use the fetchFromDynTable.

[sharp geyser]

Got that figured out also. But was good.

Ended up getting it to work exactly how I wanted :)

[sterile bay]

Does anyone have a world setup in CSB they're willing to share? I learn much faster when I have an example I can poke around with. Doesn't matter what system you've set up, so long I can see some designs and formulas in action.

[sharp geyser]

People here are pretty helpful. If you ask someone for help (with something you have in mind) you can almost always reverse engineer it :)

Also welcome to the foundry Discord @sterile bay :>

[sterile bay]

thanks for the welcome

[sharp geyser]

No problem :)

[sterile bay]

mostly hoping to borrow a toy so I can see how experienced people think when they work with CSB

[sharp geyser]

I spent 3 hours today struggling with something because I was using the wrong function 🤣

[brittle moth]

There are many examples in the sheet library on gitlab :
https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/tree/develop/sheet-library?ref_type=heads

You can import a template a poke around with it 🙂
I designed the Warhammer FRP 4E, but there are other sheets & system you can try 🙂

[sterile bay]

Ooooh awesome

I'm too much of a monkey brain for gitlab, didn't realize there were other files there

[sharp geyser]

@brittle moth Is there planned support for a 'paperdoll' system?

[sterile bay]

my head hurts from staring at the wiki so this will be a nice break

[sharp geyser]

[startled in smoothbrain]

A kindred spirit haha

[static zephyr]

Martin, the resident badass, provided an example a few weeks back that I found: #1037072885044477962 message

[brittle moth]

I don't build systems myself, only the core CSB, so I can't say unless someone is building it 🙂
(Except my own systems for my games, of course)

[sharp geyser]

Ah. That's fair.

[brittle moth]

And I'm far from using all the features in CSB, some of you make way better use of the capabilities than me ^^

[static zephyr]

That last message was for Boomy. You can import that JSON into your world from the configuration menu where you can see the selection for module and world options.

[sterile bay]

Thanks Neo

For something more specific, can you use fetch from actor to get data from items?
I wanted to let players add items to a dynamic table and see both the name and description of the item.

[static zephyr]

fetchFromActor is how you tell items about the character they're attached to, so the opposite direction you said. Item properties are called out through like, item.key, but I had to defer my usage of items, because I was having a hard time understanding them.

Dynamic Tables are different than "Items" and are how I've been doing it. With those, you don't have to use fetchFromActor, but you have to use fetchfromDynamictable in order to get the rows and columns when you refer to items in the table.

[sharp geyser]

Items will interact with properties if they share a modifier. If you have armour which has the modifier MaxHealth, if it's put into an item container within an actor's sheet, that actor will receive the interactions said Item has with MaxHealth.

It's a good way of removing hard-coded bonuses/penalties to a character based of something they're wearing.

Like if that item from before had MaxHealth+10, any actor who 'equipped' it within their item container, would receive +10 MaxHealth

[static zephyr]

The word "Item" is confusing, because you could mean a sword in your game, or you could mean the "Item" object in CSB that goes in an "Item Container" that needs fetchFromActor to get information across that interface. I have used dynamic tables instead of the Item Container because it's easier for me to understand. But you'll see Martin's example uses Item objects for feats, races, armor, etc.

[sharp geyser]

@brittle moth What is the ideal use of Attribute bars?

[sharp geyser]

Agreed with dynamic tables. They're just tricky to get initially set up.

[brittle moth]

These are meant to be used in tokens. You can define your custom bars and add them to the token, in the 'resources' tab of the token settings

[sharp geyser]

As it is now, is there any functionality to use an attribute bar on an actorsheet? To display percentage of inventory (as an example)

[static zephyr]

Can you pin posts to this channel? This example of Martin's is a great example of what the system is capable of, imo. #1037072885044477962 message

[brittle moth]

You can either define your own attribute bars using formulas, or use automatically defined bars by using a number field with a max value. The second option will allow you to edit the value directly on the token.

[brittle moth]

No, that is not planned. But you can open a feature request on the GitLab to ask for it 🙂

[brittle moth]

I'd have to ask @formal goblet If he's alright with that, and repost the template with a better message to explain why it is pinned, but this is not a bad idea 🙂

[sharp geyser]

Sounds like a plan lol

[glass socket]

Thank you for your reply @sharp geyser. The initial issue was that when I drag and drop an item into the character sheet that item is added to every item container in the character sheet. What was suggested was using filters to hide items in item containers I didn't want to see the items in. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to drop items into specific item containers instead of the item being added to every item container. I don't if that functionality exists with this system.

[sharp geyser]

Oh god. I just had a vietnam-style flashback to my exact stuggle with this.

So the "item containers" have filters, but those filters check the key component values within the Item.

[static zephyr]

I asked him the same thing the other day and got no response, but he was getting hit with alot of stuff from everyone, so I don't know if he thought it was a bad idea, didn't see the message, or can't pin stuff. But I totally understand getting his permission. He ends up answering the same questions over and over with the turnover of newbies, and is pretty quick with the FAQ, but for more arcane questions it seems like having the JSON to reference would be helpful.

[sharp geyser]

So if you have a label in an item with the key EquipSlot, with the value "Armour"
You can use an Item Container which has a filter that is EquipSlot = Armour and it will allow you to place it in there, without duplicated it into every single other container.

[brittle moth]

I need to make a demonstration world for everyone to download, to show all the capabilities and allow people to test things out for themselves

[sharp geyser]

When I had initially struggled with them, I had tried to influence the containers filters by using non-item values. I kid you not, it was something like 4 hours.

[brittle moth]

That is a tricky one, and it has to do with the way Foundry handles Items at all (just so you know, Item is the official Foundry name for it, not something I chose)
Short answer is no, you need to configure the Item Containers to show only the item you want

Long answer is :

• Items are linked to actors, in their entirety, not to a specific component
• The system is then responsible for the item's display and handling. This is done in CSB (for now) by filtering the items inside each item containers, first by template, next by arbitrary formulas
• This could be handled better, and will, but it never will be a 'drag onto the right Container' situation, as this is not how the core of Foundry works

[glass socket]

Thank you so much @sharp geyser! I'll give that a try. 🙂

[sharp geyser]

I'm glad somebody has learned from my suffering lol

@brittle moth Where's the link for the suggestions? 😖 I somehow got to it earlier today no idea how to go back lol

[brave trench]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/issues/?sort=created_date&state=opened&first_page_size=100

[sharp geyser]

Thanks :)

Time for sleep now though.

[tiny hinge]

is it possible for csb sheets to be hosted on foundry so that people using it can get updates when there are new changes in the repo?

[formal goblet]

I have nothing against it, but I want to update it a bit to have a demonstration of all features. Or even a new "tutorial-template"

[dusky mauve]

You can use different templates for different types of item, this will allow use them as "PreFilter"

[sterile bay]

can drop-downs be used for rolls or do I need to use a numeric field

[raven seal]

drop downs can be used in roll formulas so long as the keys match up

[sterile bay]

lol, I was rolling 0 with fudge dice and sat there confused why my modifires don't work

also damn four zeros in a row with 4df

[sharp prairie]

I have to add my ETERNAL UPVOTE to the "in-depth tutorial template world" idea. I understand only about 10% of conversation I read here and even less of the gitlab documentation. The only thing mostly saving me is my copy-paste ability but that is starting to fail me now due to how much has changed with syntax and such on the stuff in the sheet library and I don't know how or what to do to get things working again.

I say all of this with 100% gratitude to ya'll for making a system that allows us to play any system we desire. And really, I may not know wtf I'm doing but I'm super proud of what I've managed to do and this whole group is super supportive and helpful. So thank you.

Also, also, I haven't actually asked any questions lately so here's one: I think I've seen this done somewhere... how do I make a label display text based on a selection in a dropdown? (Each choice will display a different description underneath)

[zinc verge]

I also would very much like to know how to do this

[formal goblet]

Instead of pc_clan == Grottan you use equalText(pc_clan, 'Grottan'). Even better would be the use of switchCase() -> switchCase(pc_clan, 'Grottan', 'Grottan-Description', 'Sifa', 'Sifa-Description', 'Nothing Selected')

[sharp prairie]

ooooooooh, that's what switchcase does. OK thank you, I'm off to experiment!

[zinc verge]

nice, can switchcase just go on indefinitely? like if I had 11 dropdown tabs could one switchcase formula cover each entry?

[formal goblet]

Yep, as much as you want

[zinc verge]

excellent

[formal goblet]

Whoever uses Google-Sheet / Excel, the function does basically the same

[static zephyr]

Is there any way to determine the grid distance from a selected token to a target token?

[formal goblet]

Nope, CSB doesn´t provide that information. You´ll have to look for modules / own implementation

[static zephyr]

Thank you.

[sharp prairie]

Mkay, does there need to be colons or semicolons or brackets or anything in your example? so far not working...

[static zephyr]

If anyone else wants to find a grid distance, the below will work to find the distance between your selected token and a target.

%{return distance = canvas.grid.measureDistance(canvas.tokens.controlled[0], Array.from(game.user.targets)[0]).toFixed(1);}%

[static zephyr]

Be sure you're using the key of the dropdown and not the value, I think. I believe I ran afoul of that once.

[formal goblet]

Only the quotes. And the formula-syntax ${}$ around it

[sharp prairie]

ok so far this just displays 'ERROR'.

[formal goblet]

There are quotes in the sentence 😅

[sharp prairie]

oh goody so I'm guessing I can't have any colons, semicolons, quotations, or other grammar in it?😆

[static zephyr]

You gotta escape that Grottan's great tree

like \

Look in 4.4 of the gitlab instructions, you can't type a breakout in discord for the same reason you're having trouble.

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/#44-use-text-

[sharp prairie]

huh ok, this just applies to the quote mark or to all punctuation?

[formal goblet]

Only quotes

[sharp prairie]

thank you, and sorry for the noob questions but like I said above ya'll are great. 🙏

[static zephyr]

At the very bottom of the dropdown, you can set the default value, so you could make that 'Grottan'

and you wouldn't need your 'Nothing Selected' at the end.

[sharp prairie]

Now to add a giant text wall of different descriptions🤣

[latent sorrel]

Can you wrap this in three ticks ` so it formats properly. This should be the key to the left of the 1 key.

[sharp geyser]

Depending on the situation you could use items and item containers for the description :)

[sharp geyser]

If you're looking to go the Item Container route.

• Allows for additional modifiers for actors to inherit such as attribute/skill bonuses

[zinc verge]

there's no way to rename the active effects in CSB currently, right?

[sharp geyser]

I don’t think so but i could be wrong

[pure pine]

I'm kinda new to csb and I have a question, is there a way to get a character's level that's not via bar attributes?

[zinc verge]

tbh I just have a number field set up with mine that has the + and - on it for easy editing

[tiny hinge]

set a max value to the field. in FU its lvl 50 then you can retrieve it for bar usage (if thats what you want!)

[sharp geyser]

I’m trying to achieve a similar thing using dynamic tables. But do you want a linear xp progression, or something that is different each level?

[pure pine]

oh no, it's something else, just wanted to get attributeBar.char_level so I can use it for a module

[sharp geyser]

Fair

I’m curious but what do you need the bar for? :s

[pure pine]

not the bar, I just needed the value,

[sharp geyser]

You can have a component (label, text bar, number bar) with the Key Name of "Level" and you should be able to reference it that way :)

[sharp geyser]

If you need it to be referenced by external things, you can also put it in your templates "hidden attribute" and retrieve it using (If it's ${fetchFromActor('self',CharacterLevel)}$

[sharp prairie]

Mmkay, I have a rather complicated problem to solve but I think the first question to ask is - what is the proper way to make a roll like "if Checkbox 'key' is checked, then roll 1d6"?

I understand this - ${ checkboxKey ? 'Checked' : 'Not checked' }$, but I don't know how to put it in a roll.

[sharp geyser]

So you'll need to assign a value to the checkbox, which may be easier with radio buttons, depending on how many checkboxes you're wanting

[sharp prairie]

Ok so, referencing the pic, if all four health boxes are checked, the player makes their rolls using a d8, otherwise its a d6, d4, and so on, and if only the last is checked then it's a desperation die which is calculated elsewhere. The player's skills are also marked with checkboxes which each add +1 to their roll results. So, if this player wants to make a 'Climbing' roll, then it would roll [1d8+3]. If it was a 'Athletics' roll and their health was down by 1 box, it would do [1d6+2].

I'm using checkboxes here simply because I understand them, I'm sure there are a million better ways to do most of the things I'm doing. 😛

[sharp geyser]

Would you like it so all checkboxes don't need to be selected to roll the d8?

(off-topic)

[sharp prairie]

Yeah, I suppose just marking the one die your health is currently at would be easier to calculate rather than all of them being checked. I was just doing that to simulate a health 'bar' as it were.

[sharp geyser]

(Doing some figuring out to get it to work, gimme a moment :)

Out of curiousity, what's the far left one?

[sharp prairie]

the little running man?

[sharp geyser]

I can't direction

I meant right lol

The red circle

[sharp prairie]

oh that's the desparation one

[sharp geyser]

Is it s d3 or d2?

[sharp prairie]

essentially a d2 but it gets tied into some other stuff on the sheet and doesn't need to be in this calculation

I think anyway, still also figuring that part out

[sharp prairie]

what exactly is a radio button?

[sharp geyser]

Think of them as part of a 'group' of checkboxes, but only one of them can be active

[sharp prairie]

can you have a 'group' of 1? and how do you reset it on the sheet to be unchecked?

just hypothetical

[sharp geyser]

I think you'd be better off using a Checkbox in that example haha

But, here's the other thing if you wanted it based off of health

[sharp prairie]

hehe

[sharp geyser]

I may need to work on it more whoops

[sharp prairie]

also just in general thank you for the visual example of how the radio button thing is used here, I had no idea what the doc was saying lol

[sharp geyser]

Big mood haha

I literally had to study the Dynamic Table stuff, giving myself a diagram just to understand it

Felt like I was back at school lmao

[sharp prairie]

I have no 'school' here, I'm a nurse 🤣

flying by the seat of my pants

well, ok my school taught me detail and deductive reasoning and such, it's helped here a little 😛

[sharp geyser]

I had this working before. IDK what the hell I've done to mess it up lmao

Okay so, assuming Full Health, is that the only time they get their d8?

Or so you want it to be so they can be a little injured?

IE, 8/9 health = d6, 9/9 health = d8
or 8/9 health = d8

[sharp prairie]

nope just 8, 6, 4....

[sharp geyser]

Ah kk

Struggling with the math

And then the roll message

_<"

[sharp prairie]

no worries I'm in no hurry, gotta go to bed soon anyway and I'll see msgs in the moring 🙂

[sharp geyser]

Heck it

Oh I'm going to work on my own stuff, but you're happy enough with the radio buttons, right? :)

[sharp prairie]

might be, gonna play with things more

thankk you!!

[sharp geyser]

Trying to figure out the roll stuff for some things, when there's a lot of math involved can be problematic :(

[sharp prairie]

indeed

[sharp geyser]

I tried haha.

[zinc verge]

Tryna make a button that restores HP to max using a button label and setPropertyInEntity, but all it does is create an infinite loop of making the health increase over and over unprompted

Is there a way to make it so the health only restores when I click the button?

[sharp geyser]

Post the function?

[zinc verge]

One sec, loading discord on my desktop

${setPropertyInEntity('self','HP_current','HP_max')}$

[sharp geyser]

Hmm

Works for me :s

I can change the value back as well

Ahhh

I see

[zinc verge]

putting it in a roll message makes my current health number field read [object Object]

[sharp geyser]

That may be because of a shared key component?

[zinc verge]

huh, lemme check

wait is that possible? don't all key components have to be unique per template?

[sharp geyser]

They do, but you can copy keys accidently when you control+drag something

[zinc verge]

I'm not finding any dupes

ohp

I figured it out

it's because my max-health value is a label

I've been noticing several formulas seem to run into issues when the value you're having them reference is a label

I've been trying to use labels for stats so I can use formulas to automate things like buffs and tracking max health and such

I found a way around it. Went ahead and had it just set current health to <the max health formula> instead of the max health value on the sheet

[sharp geyser]

I think that's the most frustrating part, needing a place to see if it's broken or not, only to discover that the 'type' of thing you're testing it on (ie, label) isn't compatible with the thing you're trying to referrence in.

I'm honestly staring at this documentation stuff for Dynamic Tables and it's making my stupid head spin

https://tenor.com/view/dr-phil-dizzy-gif-9451714

[sharp geyser]

Anyone know why this isn't working?

For referrence, it's on an item. need it to determine the firing mode within itself because I don't trust the forces outside of the Item (being the Item Container) to do it correctly.

[robust wren]

maybe try it with: "ref('FiringMode') + 1"

[sharp geyser]

Tried it

I'm actually at a loss, asking for help is always a final, desperate measure

And now, my the actor's which use my character template aren't loading...

https://giphy.com/gifs/leroypatterson-angry-god-dammit-W2978KMTDGrC36AJgQ

Was from this apparently

[robust wren]

work again? Made a backup?

[sharp geyser]

Nah found the offending thing within the template and removed it. Now I can look and load my actor with the template

Struggling an absurd amount with Dynamic Tables :|

IDK why or how. It should be so simple.

[robust wren]

maybe LinkedFluush has an idea. i never worked with setPropertyInEntity
i could give you a macro, that does the job, if needed 😄

[sharp geyser]

I'll take it haha

Honestly, it's going to save a lot of headache

This is my current Sisyphus-tier endeavour

Fixed it

[robust wren]

not 100% sure, but that should be it:
rollmessage:
%{return await game.macros.getName('ChangeValue').execute({args: ["FiringMode"]})}%
Macro Named ChangeValue:

const a = game.user.character ?? token.actor;

if (a.system.props.FiringMode >= 4) {
a.system.props.FiringMode = 1;
};
else {
a.system.props.FiringMode = args[0]+1;
};```

[sharp geyser]

My god that felt like I honestly didn't change anything

[robust wren]

i know that feeling 😄

[sharp geyser]

(RE: dynamic table)

I guess it must've sensed my frustration and decided to stop trolling me

[sharp geyser]

I've never used macros, where do I put the macro? lmao

[robust wren]

click on a empty field on the bottom. It will open a new Window.
Make sure to name the Macro and set the type to script

[sharp geyser]

I don't understand lol

Where am I putting it? :S

[robust wren]

klick on one of those. then name the macro, change type into script and paste the macro in. Save it

[sharp geyser]

Ah

Hmm, error

[robust wren]

ah, well, js validator says my semikolon is wrong:

const a = game.user.character ?? token.actor;

if (a.system.props.FiringMode >= 4) {
a.system.props.FiringMode = 1;
}
else {
a.system.props.FiringMode = args[0]+1;
};```

[sharp geyser]

Sorry for lack of response, was busy trying to make things look nice haha

Currently 'blocking out' and organising my weapon stuff on the character sheet

Right side will deal with weapon range, min and max damage output based off of weapon firing mode, etc.

[scarlet skiff]

This will not do anything because you dont Update the value. So this might Work as a temporary Change but doesnt save the new value

[robust wren]

ah, yes you are right. it works for me because it is not a problem for what i was using it.

[scarlet skiff]

Also keep in mind that game.user.character only works for Players assigned a Charakter. E.g. for the GM this wont Work Most of the time

And for the ??token.actor to work properly you assume there is one token selected. So i guess Most Times you will be fine but there are Edge cases where this could break

[sharp geyser]

Likely what was causing the error I was seeing :x

I think I'll try andfigure it out using CSB stuff so I can troubleshoot and figure other stuff out

[scarlet skiff]

It would be helpful If we could Pass the actor of the Sheet the Label Roll is in to the macro. But i dont think this is possible right now

[dense pine]

Messing around with a dynamic table:
I would like to return the value of a specific field that is in the row which is actually selected with a radio button.
So, if table key is "table", field key is "field" and Radio Group is "group" with the value "1", what would be the syntax please?
thought it would be - fetchFromDynamicTable('table', 'field', 'group', 1, '=') but doesnt work

[sharp geyser]

Dynamic tables are actually the devil in terms of trying to figure them out

[sharp geyser]

I'm trying to get better with then, but I can't help if you're intending to get the infomation from a source not within the table.

If it's in the same table, you can use ${sameRow(<column name>)}$ and it should be good to go.

[brittle moth]

fetchFromDynamicTable('table', 'field', 'group', 1) should be enough.
The error in your formula is that you are using only one =, should be ==or ===

• =is plain invalid and does not work
• ==matches loosely on the value (string will equal numbers and vice-versa)
• ===matches strictly (string '1' and number 1 will not be equal)

[dire socket]

Oh thats very pretty, mind if I ask how you're doing it and what assets you're using?

[zinc verge]

I believe they're using font awesome icons?

[wheat osprey]

If this was asked before I can't find it in the discord.
I just upgraded to v11, and upgraded the Custom System Builder world.
Now all my labels with stat rolls are getting error "Cannot Read Property (0) " for anything with a value or calculation. Even the items not in tables
Has this been a common thing?

[dire socket]

How are they colored? Is it new?

[zinc verge]

unsure. I suspect there's some way to color them though. Some font awesome icons have the same name but will be black or white or filled in vs hollow, and I think you can differentiate those by putting in some kind of code that uniquely represents them, but I don't know what that code is and I suspect that's how something like this is done

[formal goblet]

You can do that by adding this in your Label suffix instead of using Label icon: <i class="fas fa-dice-d20" style="color:green";></i>. Just replace dice-d20 with whatever you need as an icon.

[brave trench]

can a userinputTemplate reference a dynamic table from an item to propagate a dropdown? if so how? table key, nor item.table key are working.

[formal goblet]

I don´t think so

[brave trench]

is there a place we can store formulas or scripts that may be useful for future sheet builders? It would be helpful to have things we can just copy and paste or use as a reference.

[formal goblet]

We are listing them here: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/home#tips-and-tricks

If you want to add some, open a ticket in GitLab

[brave trench]

an issues ticket? or is there a different one somewhere? I haven't really explored git lab, don't know my way around.

[formal goblet]

Yep

[brave trench]

ok

how do I paste code in git lab so it looks nice and isn't a weird mess. I think some of it gets read as code and reformatted.

[formal goblet]

The same way you do it in Discord: https://www.remote.tools/remote-work/discord-text-formatting (Multi line code blocks)

[zinc verge]

ayyyy it looks like the item sizes have been fixed in the item containers!

[formal goblet]

Do you mean for the beta? Because for the normal version it is not released yet.

[zinc verge]

normal version of what? CSB?

[formal goblet]

Yeah, CSB

[zinc verge]

I'm a lil confused lol. I was just in my foundry and I noticed the items were small and clean again

[formal goblet]

Well. That wasn´t me 😅

Yo guys, I´m done with the Example-Template. You can download it here for the time: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/tree/template/example_template/sheet-library/Example?ref_type=heads Once it is released, you´ll find it in the regular Sheet-Library. I´ll try to keep it maintained when new features are added.

[sharp prairie]

yes sorry for late reply, but it is what others said. My exact formula for the blue d8 is this pic -- making it blue, slightly bigger than default and moving it to the left so it's not right on top of the number.

[sharp geyser]

Only thing i could suggest is maybe try grouping all the dice within a panel and changing the alignment of said panel to justify? :s

[manic junco]

In the Tips & Tricks "Macro for updating values", I couldn't get it to update hidden variables. It worked for other fields, and I managed a work-around, but should it have worked for hidden variables?

[static zephyr]

Is there a way to have a user input trigger on the target of a roll, like if a player goes to attack a target, the target gets a prompt asking which skill to use to defend?

I guess I could just put it on the attacker to say "Click which way the target chooses to defend" and that would do the trick.

[sharp geyser]

You could handle this automatically. I had a similar formula made for this exact thing.

[static zephyr]

The only thing is that there are like, 3 different choices for ranged defense and 3 different choices for melee defense because Shadowrun was written by Dustin Hoffman in "Rain Man."

[sharp geyser]

Are the defences used named after the attacks/elements?

Like Melee vs MeleeDefence?

[static zephyr]

I haven't named them yet. I've got Reaction Defense and Full Defense that I have to do for ranged attacks, but I haven't made variables for them yet.

[sharp geyser]

If you have the keys be the same, you should be able to use this: ${DAMAGE_NUMBER-fetchFromActor('target',string(concat(ELEMENT,'DT')),0)}$

Add this is you want it to be reduced further by a percentage
--*fetchFromActor('target',string(concat(ELEMENT,'DR')),100)%}$

[static zephyr]

Thanks! I'll end up using that method for sure.

[sharp geyser]

Remember to make sure the ${'s are at the ends too.

I've lost count of the times I've spent 5 minutes trying to be like "wHy iSn'T tHiS wOrKiNg?"

Only to find out, it was because I'm an idiot lmao

[static zephyr]

Yeah, getting some javascript in one the first time yesterday took me a long time, because I also suck at js.

[sharp geyser]

I don't even want to touch that

I'm struggling enough with DynamicTables lmao

Mostly trying to make it so the "AttackMode" and "Order" columns work together to find the correct row, but it doesn't appear to want to work.

${fetchFromDynamicTable('WeaponSheet', 'AttackMode','Order','CostAP')}$

I'd have loved to have made this a userinput thing, but (in my experience) they don't update any values, so they're literally worthless

[static zephyr]

which cell are you trying to make it point at in the bottom picture?

[sharp geyser]

"Order"

So I can use that to choose other columns, etc.

[static zephyr]

If you just want the column matrix, you can just put (WeaponSheet, Order), but you want a certain cell? I made a dropdown that referred to a similar table to pull things to another sheet. Let me pull it up.

[sharp geyser]

Well, this is mostly because I'm going to have every other weapon attack available

And so if I have something like an Assault Rifle, I can just "order" it's attacks 1-3

And then it won't go astray

[static zephyr]

Oh, so you want like an if-then that only shows certain attacks and puts them in order based on a dropdown?

[sharp geyser]

Well, I don't want a dropdown at all lol

[static zephyr]

Oh.

[sharp geyser]

The idea is that the button "1" would act as a mechanism for changing firing modes for the player.

Press the button, cycle through the firing modes :)

[static zephyr]

Oh, I see. My example was not going tobe exactly right then. I have been doing everything with dropdowns. I'm about to worry if I can get a drop down in one dynamic table to compare values in the dropdowns in another dynamic table. It's dropdowns all the way down.

[sharp geyser]

Doesn't sound impossible, but would be a lot of screwing around I'd imagine?

[static zephyr]

I don't know yet, but I think it'll take a javascript array function, which will add some time for me to figure out.

[sharp geyser]

IDK wtf it is

But me and Dynamic Tables DO NOT get along

I've been trying to get this one thing to work for literally 30 minutes

It shouldn't be this difficult, but I don't know wtf I'm doing wrong.

[static zephyr]

Can you make the button say 1, 2, 3, 4 independently of anything else?

[sharp geyser]

Well, the button is using "Switch" as its display variable

But I don't need it to be

[static zephyr]

if the button can make a variable that matches the numbers shown in "order" then you can do ${fetchFromDynamicTable('WeaponSheet', 'AttackMode','Order','button/switch')}$ and that'll pull the order row that matches, then you can use sameRow to get everything else.

[sharp geyser]

He smol now

[static zephyr]

Weird.

Maybe on the switch is not where to put the fetch code?

[sharp geyser]

It was because I had an error in the table

But; it's being strange now

Then I press the button

And it won't fully display until I mouse over any of the "Number Input" on the left

@formal goblet

[formal goblet]

Check the console for warnings, there might be uncomputed props

[formal goblet]

Btw, this translates into: "Get me AttackMode in WeaponSheet where Order equals CostAP"

[sharp geyser]

Could you update the dynamic table documentation to reflect that? I honestly keep struggling with this even though it’s so basic

[formal goblet]

There is already an example-table with some queries in the doc.

[sharp geyser]

I use those and i copied it exactly but still it didn’t work

I genuinely think I’m cursed

(Even after changing the keys etc, I’m not that clueless lol)

(But I’m pretty damned close)

[formal goblet]

Do you also use first()? Because the return-type is always a matrix, so you either have to aggregate e.g. with sum() or pick the first value with first().

[sharp geyser]

I did not 😭

If i have two item containers for weapons the player can swap between, how do i get the item stats from one and not the other? :s

[formal goblet]

Do you need the stats outside of the Container?

[sharp geyser]

Yes :(

[formal goblet]

Well, Item Modifiers it is then. No other way around it if you don't want to use Scripts.

[sharp geyser]

So if i have one player who has two weapons, won’t the item modifiers compete with each other? I’d prefer to display each weapons stats separately if possible

[formal goblet]

Not really if you define 2 separate modifiers, which target separate Labels. You can check my example with the 2 Inventory Containers, each displaying its own total weight.

[sharp geyser]

I’ll definitely have to give it a look. Out at the moment 😭

[wheat osprey]

Since I upgraded v11, the setting I ported over is having trouble recognizing rolls
From what I can tell the syntax is matching the sameRow('<colName>') change.
But every roll I make (clicking the d20 label) is getting that error.

[sharp geyser]

I think it’s because you don’t have enough paired parentheses?

[wheat osprey]

${[1d100]<=sameRow('skill_value') ? concat(sameRow('skill_name'), ' was a Success') : concat(sameRow('skill_name'), ' was a Failure')}$

That's what I was wondering, or if they were mispaired, but I found the pair for the parenthases and brackets

[sharp geyser]

I haven’t a clue 😅

[raven seal]

and I assume 'skill_value' is a Number Field and 'skill_name' is a Text Field?

[dire socket]

Awesome, thank you. You wouudn't happen to also know how to make if thens/switch cases work with the colors/icons themselves? Regardless this, is extremely helpful. Figured it out, but I'd still like to see it done a (likely) better way.

[hollow dew]

i'm working on my first sheet with this system, and i was curious if anyone might know why the item icon is acting up on the "heritage" section. i'm guessing this item icon on link thing is new to v11 (on 11.307), so maybe it's a bug, but it seems to be working find in my traits section below. perhaps something about them being in the header?

ah, ignore me, i see there's an open issue about it and it's already fixed for next release

didn't see the issue section, not used to gitlab 😩

[wheat osprey]

Yes

[raven seal]

well I'm really confused then, because I literally just copy pasted the code you posted

[wheat osprey]

That's very confusing

My server might be haunted. Something may have happened in the upgrade to 11

[sharp geyser]

For future reference you can use panels to hold things to try and display them in a better manner

[hollow dew]

yeah, i'm still getting a hang of the formatting, trying to plot out all the function first so i know what i need to contain

[static zephyr]

Is there an easy way to compare a field in a dynamic table to an array of fields in another dynamic table?

[sharp geyser]

Blocking out like that is a huge help with visiting

[sharp geyser]

Making all the values

[static zephyr]

I've got two places where users can input a possible skill value. The Pistols in the bottom left lets me know that they can accurately use the Pistol chosen on the right, but I don't know how to compare the inputs of the dynamic tables? Pistols is not necessarily always first. I tried doing array.some and array.filter in js, but I couldn't get it to work.

There are 100 skills in SR 4, so I cannot do that.

[sharp geyser]

Was previously what i had before deciding to change to DynamicTables

[sharp geyser]

It’s not alphabetised

https://tenor.com/view/eye-twitch-gif-21566093

Uhh, yeah idk man

[static zephyr]

It's 5-6 alphabetized groups.

[sharp geyser]

I think Martin posted something earlier to help me with my dynamic struggles

[static zephyr]

I'll check it out.

[sharp geyser]

It might work - i trust it should, he’s the G.O.A.T

Just about to get home and see for myself

[raven seal]

what do you mean by "inputs", what are you actually trying to compare?

[static zephyr]

In the bottom left part of the sheet, I let the player input their skill values in whichever of the 100 skills they choose from. Then, they input the weapon on the upper right side of the sheet into a dynamic table that holds weapons. Each of those tables includes dropdowns for skills, and I'm looking for a union between the two dropdowns, like Pistols on one list and Pistols on the other.

[sharp geyser]

Rephrase?

[static zephyr]

In 2 parts:
This is a dynamic table that includes ranged weapons skills, which is a subset of a big skill list.

This is where the player tells me his skills. I want to ensure that the skill he is using to fire the weapon in the first picture is located in his skills in this table.

I'm firing the gun, so I know that the player has set the first image's dropdown, in this case, Pistol: so I can get that with ${used_rng_skill:=fetchFromDynamicTable('ranged_dyntable', 'rng_skill', 'rng_primary', true)}$

but I cannot figure out how to interrogate the second skill list that is Pistols,Athletics Group, Blades. I have tried %{let x=${fetchFromDynamicTable('active_dyntable','skill')}$}% and %{return ${fetchFromDynamicTable('active_dyntable','skill')}$.filter(v => v == used_rng_skill)}%

Those are incomplete examples there at the end. I have tried a few things, but I'm javascript dumb, so I don't think I'm formulating it right.

I'll tell you when I figure it out.

[sharp geyser]

Seems like a massive problem because the system has so many skills o_o

[raven seal]

I'm not sure I understand, is this the behavior you want?

[static zephyr]

A_Noob, that is pretty cool, but I am trying to compare [Pistol] in the item dropdown to see if it exists in the skill array [Pistol, Athletics Group, Blades]. Like ```const array = ['Pistol', 'Athletics Group', 'Blades'];

array.some(skill => skill === 'Pistol'); // true``` I just don't know how to do that in CSB.

[raven seal]

Does first(fetchFromDynamicTable(skillTableKey,valueToFetch,skillDropdownKey,skillToCheck)) do what you need?

[static zephyr]

I think in this specific case it does, but that's not a guarantee that the player will build the skill list with his primary weapon skill first.

[sharp geyser]

I honestly want to give myself a concussion

I'm so sick of not being able to understand these fucking dynamic tables, or their functions

I need to attend a ted talk or some bullshit

And even still I don't think I'll get it

[static zephyr]

I may have to think of a different way to implement the skills

[sharp geyser]

You're lucky enough to be able to code. I'm stuck playing with dirt and sticks while you've got access to concrete

[static zephyr]

I've done ok so far cheating off the macro-polo channel, but I don't know any js.

Gentlemen, I'm going to sleep on this, and I will post how it's done when I figure it out.

[sharp geyser]

If I have any insight by then with how to fetch values from a Dynamic Table, I'll let you know @static zephyr

[sharp geyser]

@formal goblet sorry for pinging but I honestly have no f--king clue why this goddamned dynamic table isn't working

It's been ~8 hours of trying to get this f--king thing working

And I just CANNOT

As I understand it, this is more or less how it should work

So why the hell am I struggling so much with this thing

[fierce harbor]

May I ask what those numbers refer to?

[sharp geyser]

The Dynamic Table crap

fetchFromDynamicTable(1,2,3,4)

Sorry

Just impossibly frustrated at the dynamic table

Not you

[fierce harbor]

Oh, got it

[sharp geyser]

I have wasted SO MUCH time trying to f--king understand this

Just to even do a BASIC THING

And I feel like I'm further from it

THE KICKER?

I have a working dynamic table

[fierce harbor]

No worries, mate. I myself had the same hard time

[sharp geyser]

AND I COPIED ITS FUNCTION

Changed the keys and other garbage it targets

NUP. No beuno

It no like

So I want to kill it

But if I give up on it, then I'm going to have to go through this EXACT thing AGAIN when I use any other DynamicTable

[fierce harbor]

Now, how it basically works is: you have 4 args, of which
1 is the table data is stored in
2 is the column you need to extract data from
3 is, if needed, a column you use to 'filter' data
4 is a value in 4 that gives you the corresponding row in 3.
E.g.: you have a table called BirthDates with Name,Month and you want to know who was born on July. You go like:
first*fetchFromDynamicTable('BirthDates','Name','Month','July'))
It reads like: "give me the first Name occurrence of those rows in BirthDates where Month is July"
Hope this helps 😉

[sharp geyser]

Appreciate the breakdown but

I'm actually going to have a mental breakdown

[formal goblet]

1: The Dynamic Table
2: The column you want to target. If you do not specify 3 & 4, it will return all values from this column.
3: The column you want to filter by. It will compare with 4 and check if the values are equal. If not, this row will not be returned in 2
4: The value you want to compare. Each row in 3 will compare with this. 2 will only return those, which match

[fierce harbor]

No need to, think through it and you'll get it to work

[sharp geyser]

I honestly wish that was the case

With all the actual study I've tried to do to understand this function

I actually cannot

[fierce harbor]

It is, trust me. Been in your same boat and made it work. If I can, we all can 😂

[sharp geyser]

So it's to be used within an item template (God help me if that's the reason this hasn't worked)

How would I reference 1, 2 and 3 by the "Order" columm?

That's all I've been trying to do

And I've been having literally ZERO success

[fierce harbor]

So you need the AP cost?

[sharp geyser]

I'll need all of that stuff. They're going to be attack modes which the weapon can cycle through.

Order cycles through 1 - 3 with a button press to choose the 'active' firing mode.

So if I don't want a weapon to have a specific firing mode, I just remove the number from "order"

[fierce harbor]

Oh, the changing button it is.

[sharp geyser]

If I can just get ONE of these functions to return the thing I want, based off of the Order value. I can sleep for 1,000 years.

[fierce harbor]

But it feels like you got args numbers not right. Each of the columns you want data from will be argument #2 of the function.
Please correct me if I got it all wrong.

[formal goblet]

• ${fetchFromDynamicTable('WeaponSheet', 'Rate', 'Order', 1)}$
• ${fetchFromDynamicTable('WeaponSheet', 'CostAP', 'Order', 4)}$
• ${fetchFromDynamicTable('WeaponSheet', 'RangeMin', 'Order', 2)}$ - ${fetchFromDynamicTable('WeaponSheet', 'RangeMax', 'Order', 2)}$

[sharp geyser]

Martin I don't say this lightly

But have my babies

I could not be more thankful

The amount of time this consumed has been problematic

Absolute perfection that is this

Compared to the nightmare fuel which was this

This is literally a gigantic skill issue.

(On my side, clearly)

[fierce harbor]

But now you can add 'DynamicTables' skill to your list 😉

[sharp geyser]

I can just add Martin to my skill list lmao

I swear the ctrl+c and ctrl+v are going to get a good workout today

[dense pine]

would you add a simple example of a fetch formula where a radio button group is involved please? the code @brittle moth mentioned yesterday just doesnt work

[sharp geyser]

What's the radio group called?

${fetchFromDynamicTable('WeaponSheet', 'Rate', 'Order', RADIO_GROUP_VALUE)}$

If you're intending to do a similar thing what with I've done with my weapon attack modes, anyway

[dense pine]

can you try if it works? it doesnt when i try

[sharp geyser]

Well, instead of a radio group, I've got a button I press which cycles through variables.

${(Switch>=3)?setPropertyInEntity('self','Switch',1):setPropertyInEntity('self','Switch',Switch+1)}$

It may not play nice with the radio button

[dense pine]

this is the radio

[sharp geyser]

${fetchFromDynamicTable('WeaponSheet', 'Rate', 'Order', string(group))}$

I think that should be right.

[formal goblet]

Should be ${fetchFromDynamicTable('table', 'field', 'group', group)}$

And each of your Radio Buttons should have different values configured

[fierce harbor]

Why group as filtering value? Not grasping it...

[sharp geyser]

It's using the Radio Group Key as a value to use

[formal goblet]

The group key of the Radio Buttons has the value of the currently selected Radio Button

[fierce harbor]

Right, I get it now.

[dense pine]

i dont get it.

[sharp geyser]

So for example, you could have a radio button for which dice to use (1d8, 1d6, 1d4). Each radio button would need a different value to make sure that the correct corresponding dice is rolled.

[dense pine]

this is my table

in only use 1 radio button group in my template.

how can i give the radio buttons different values?

[sharp geyser]

Well, Radio Buttons (if you don't know) work like a group of Checkboxes. Only one radio button within the group can be active at any time.

[dense pine]

i know

[fierce harbor]

Give the button a value from the table row that you want to have available outside of the table.

[dense pine]

already did that

[sharp geyser]

Do both Radio Buttons have different values, or are they both "selected"?

[fierce harbor]

What you wrote will always return selected

[dense pine]

so how do i do it right? what should i put in the "Value" instead of "selected"?

[sharp geyser]

Ultimately it doesn't matter what the value is, so long as you're going to remember what to referrence it as.

For me, I have two radio buttons to display which weapon is displayed (primary or secondary)

[dense pine]

in my understanding, if i create 3 rows in an actor then the row with the "clicked" button will have the value "selected", and the other two rows would have no value. thats wrong?

[sharp geyser]

You could have the value be "Cheeseburger", as long as you remember that when it's selected, you have to say that the radio button equals "Cheeseburger", you'll be fine.

[fierce harbor]

No, you have to assign each button a value you can use. In your table may be Angriff text or a simple number (1 for row1, etc).

[dense pine]

how do assign values to elements that dont exist in the template? the rows are created in the actor, not in the template

[sharp geyser]

It depends if they're a dynamic table or a regular table.

And most importantly whether the Actor whom has those values has Item Modifiers which can be referrenced.

[fierce harbor]

I think you can reference a value in the same row, like $sameRow('Angriff')$ in a dynamic table.
If it's static, you can assign all the values at creation.

[dense pine]

i dont get this, maybe im just too stupid

[sharp geyser]

Uhh... So you can have modifiers on your Actor Template for "Strength", items can also have modifiers, which when you have "competing" item Modifiers, you can set how the item will interact with the one on the Actor (being the player character)

They're amazing for doing things like races, perks, whole heap of stuff. Even armours :)

I believe you can referrence the value of a "key" by using fetchFromActor('target/self/attached',KEY_NAME)

Target = For someone you're targetting
Self = The item/actor to whom the value belongs to
Attached = uh... I think it's the value of the actor who the item is 'attached' to. AKA, in an Item Container.

[sharp geyser]

I can try and explain better in DMs if it helps? :s

[brittle moth]

Regarding the radio button in Dynamic Table issue :
This is a little tricky, and there might be a bug / missing feature behind it all

You need to set a different value to each of your radio buttons. You can do so by using formulas, like ${samerow('field')}$, which will set the value of the 'field' column on the radio button.

Then, you can get which one is selected by just calling the group variable in another formula. This is an exception to the classic Dynamic Table fields, the radio buttons are created as a global variable and not as a row-dependent one.

This is what happens now, and not what I was building it for though, I will need to decide if I want to keep it that way...
A better way of doing this would be to use checkboxes, but it doesn't have the auto-uncheck option...

[fierce harbor]

Does this mean that to use radios to retrieve a row from a DynTab it would work like this:
fetchFromDynamicTable('table','column','radioCol',group)?

[sharp geyser]

I'm planning to make a sort of 'item sheet' which will contain all base stats for all items and using a Dynamic Table for that.

Unsure if this is a good idea, or a terrible one. Thoughts, @brittle moth ?

(Mostly due to foundry limitations, if any)

Plan to maybe have variable stats which could be randomised within the item at the push of a button

[dense pine]

Ok so im using this now:

How do i refer now to the selected row as group has a value now that i dont know as the value of "NK_attack" will be determined later when the Actor is created?

[brittle moth]

It would be something like fetchFromDynamicTable('table','column','<another_column_key>',group) if the radio button value is something like ${sameRow('<another_column_key>')}$

[brittle moth]

Based on the configuration you sent, it should be fetchFromDynamicTable('table','field','NK_attack',group)

[brittle moth]

This is not a bad idea, since Dynamic table have search capabilities, they can work as reference tables

[sharp geyser]

Ah kk. So if I have literally hundreds of items with several columns each, it won't cause performance issues?

[sharp geyser]

And should I have them on the character templates? Or visible on a user input prompt? :s

[fierce harbor]

In this setup it does not work.

[wheat osprey]

Yup, it was haunted. Uninstalled, Reinstalled foundry to actually fix it

[brittle moth]

It could, but I don't know to what extent 🙂
It's up to you to try it ^^

[brittle moth]

Indeed it doesn't. Radio buttons are missing formula computing in their values. This will be fixed in the next version 🙂

[fierce harbor]

Oh, so sameRow isn't working atm right?

[brittle moth]

absolutely 🙂

[fierce harbor]

Ok ty 😉

[formal goblet]

Well, sameRow() itself does, it´s just that the Radio Button cannot process formulas atm.

[fierce harbor]

Ofc, that' what I meant 😅
Thanks for the info 👍🏻

[fierce harbor]

Deeply appreciated 👌

[brave trench]

Can't tell if this is a bug or I'm missing something. I Recently got rid of my old deprecated code. One formula is getting odd results now. From sum(table$checkbox) to sum(fetchFromDynamicTable('table','checkbox')). Now with zero table entries/lines it reads 0 (working, because 0 lines is 0 checkboxes), with 1 line it reads true/false (kind of working, but needs to be 1, numeric), and with more than one line it works properly again with a numeric result.

[static zephyr]

If you do sum()*1 can that trick it into treating it as a number?

[brave trench]

yep! lol, thank you!

[static zephyr]

That was lucky.

[brave trench]

naaah i call that smart thinking.

^_^

[wheat osprey]

What's a good way to setup a large attribute table? I have an attribute table with 5 columns.
My default thought is to create a hidden table with all the values written out as either labels or number values, then reference stats as needed based on whatever the Attribute Value is

[static zephyr]

I did that with dynamic tables. It seems to be working ok so far. The only issue I've run into involved comparisons between dropdowns in dynamic tables.

[static zephyr]

When I try to get an array of dynamic table columns with fetchFromDynamicTable(2 args), I can't figure out how to get that into a notation where js can read it. I've tried %{let array=${fetchFromDynamicTable(2 args)}$;}% but that ends up throwing a group error. Is there anyway to get like actor.dyntable or something to put a dyntable column array into js notation?

[frank gazelle]

Is it possible to use a label button to execute a macro without sending a blank message in the chat?

[raven seal]

there's probably a better solution, but this does work
%{game.macros.get("macroID").execute();}%

It does throw errors into the console though, so I assume this isn't the best solution

[frank gazelle]

Unfortunately that is still outputting a chat message as well

[raven seal]

and you replaced macroID with the ID (not the name) of the macro?

[frank gazelle]

yep

It does execute the macro but adds that to chat

and leaving the hide formula ${# }$ around it also just produces a completely blank messages

[winged sequoia]

So I have been using Custom system builder to attempt to impliment the one page rules fire fight game, and I"m having issue figuring out how to change the dice behavoir in a way that still lets me even interact with how dice are rolled by default. Curious if anyone has some wisdom i can glean to pick this all into shape

[robust wren]

you mean, that it looks like that?

[zinc verge]

is there a way to have a label formula count the number of objects in an item container? I'm using an item container as a spell repetoire and in the system I'm importing to CSB you can only have a total of 16 different-named spells, so I want some way to have the sheet track that so players don't have to

[topaz coyote]

Use an item modifier that increases a label on your actor sheet by 1 for each item. If you have multiple item containers, you'll likely need a specific item mod for spells so that the label doesn't sum all items attached to the sheet (weapons, etc)
The FAQ instructions for getting item quantities shows how to do this
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

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/issues/280

[formal goblet]

It´s not an array at the first place, it´s just a csv as string. You have to convert it to an array.

%{
const string = '${fetchFromDynamicTable('Skills', 'Base')}$';
const array = string.split(',');
console.warn(array);
return array;
}%

[winged sequoia]

Correct I've subverted it through just creating my own chat out put given the modifier effects each dice roll, but nat 1's and 6's ignore modifiers. Making it able to display successes and fails at the same time in the format would be useful

[robust wren]

i hope i made this understandable. i do this by using the Foundry css and alernate it to my pupose. here is a example. I tried to mark the correct spots in the picture and the code:

have to plit it cause text length

${#Art:='Schicksalsprobe'}$

[winged sequoia]

Is my or less my cludgy slolution, and was hoping to be able to format it into the roll style if this helps with clarity

let myDialog = await new Dialog({

[robust wren]

okay, so you are using a macro, my example is directly in the label roll message

[winged sequoia]

at least as far as I could figure out it was the easiest way to get this behavoir, unless i'm mis understnading

I could be wrong though. That was the results of me having to refigure out javascript for the second time and cludging my way through foundries at times at least for me hard to parse api for 12 hours.

[robust wren]

i am no expoert in macro, but as far i understand this, this is the art generating the Chat message:

let myDialog = await new Dialog({
 title: "Dice Roll",
 content: `<form>
 <div>
    <input type="radio" id="attack" name="type"/>
    <label for="attack" checked>Attack</label>
    <input type="radio" id="defense" name="type"/>
    <label for="defense">Defense</label>
  </div>
 <label for="dnum">Number of dice:</label><br>
<input type="number" id="dnum" name="dnum" value=0 ><br>
 <label for="dmod">Dice Modifier(Default: 0):</label><br>
<input type="number" id="dmod" name="dmod" value=0 ><br>
 </form>`,
 buttons: {
  enter: {label: "Enter", callback: () => {Dice(dnum.value,dmod.value,attack,defense)}},
 },
 default: 'enter',
}).render(true);```

so you have to modify this part, with the code i gave you. I think that should work. But make sure to Backup your current template or work on a copy.

[winged sequoia]

^ ye i've been doing this just for satfy when trying out various bits of new data I've learned. I'll when I have some time see what I can do.

[robust wren]

oh nope, i made a mistake, the part i marked is for a popout asking for input 😄

[winged sequoia]

I mean I noticed that, but I figured the data that was relevent could still be used just in the different form.

[static zephyr]

Thanks, Martin!

I got confused because 4.2.1 of the docs says fetchFromDynamicTable('equipment', 'weight') : Will return a Matrix containing all the weights from the Dynamic Table equipment, here : [50, 2, 30]

[formal goblet]

How should I explain this... Yeah, the return type is a matrix, so you can normally perform a sum-operation on it. But once something leaves a CSB-Formula ${}$, it will be converted to a number/boolean/string

[static zephyr]

That's cool. I appreciate your explanation. When I get this working I'll post it for posterity.

Is there anyway to get the array of possibilities of a dynamic table dropdown in js?

[formal goblet]

Oof, this could prove tricky, because system.props stores only the currently selected value. So you´d probably need to get HTML-Element.

[static zephyr]

This code is to find an "alternate" skill to use a weapon, so that someone could use a pistol if they have no pistol skill but they have automatics in SR4 ```%{let string ='${fetchFromDynamicTable('active_dyntable','skill')}$';
let array1=string.split(',');
let array2=['Firearms Group','Automatics','Archery','Exotic Ranged','Heavy Weapons','Longarms','Pistols','Throwing Weapons','Gunnery'];

let filteredArray = array2.filter(value => array1.includes(value));

return filteredArray;
}%```

array 1 is the available skills that someone has, while array 2 are all the ranged weapons skills.

[thin leaf]

Hi! I have the following issue. I have a hidden attribute called "complexity" on my sheet with a default value of 0. I have an item that needs to increase that value from 0 to 1 the first time it is adquired, but never again. I am trying to use the following formula on an item modifier: ${ complexity < 1 ? 1 : 0 }$, but if equip copies of the same item, it still adds 1 every time. How can I make a formula that only increases the number once?

[formal goblet]

How about setting it to 1 instead of adding it?

[thin leaf]

I can't do that because other items need to be able to increase it past 1

[formal goblet]

Still doable. Define priorities then

[static zephyr]

If I had to do that, I would make each item have it's own 0 to 1, and then I would add up all the item 1s to get the final number.

Like on the character, I'd ahve a thing that says "has he ever seen complex_item 1" 0 or 1, then set it to one

It would be lame if you have alot of items.

[formal goblet]

I´d assign the set-operations a higher priority (lower number), so the add-operations are done after the set-operations.

[thin leaf]

I have literally as many items as the player can come up with so yeah that's problematic

[thin leaf]

This works wonderfully, I didn't even consider it. Many thanks

[tiny hinge]

I am trying to assign the name of targeted tokens on the canvas via something like this.

${#target:= @{target|name} }$

but that doesnt actually work, returns ERROR in caps

how do i go about this problem?

@{target|name} do however work though outside of the csb code

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/#62-property-reference-inside-a-chat-message
This syntax only works outside of a formula in chat messages

[formal goblet]

Use this instead: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/#4210-fetchfromactor

[tiny hinge]

ooooh awesome! thanks!

[dusky mauve]

Why User able change modifier of the item in item container?
And can I block adding/deleting items for user (Allow it only for master or assistant GM)?

[tiny hinge]

if i have to warrant a guess you can control that with visbility and permissions

under configure ownership see if that helps

[dusky mauve]

So user must be only Observer and lower of the Actor

But for observer user can't add items to dynamic table - only Owner can do that

and we have collision here) I set user to be able add custom items to dynamic table -> Owner
and it will be able change item modifiers in item container

it look like permission collision for me and logic issue
OR item container must have same option - allow to change ...
OR dynamic table must allow observers add items

for now such inputs has not the same type of permissions

[formal goblet]

It´s a missing Feature

[dusky mauve]

So it will be in future - when it's time will come? 🙂

[tiny hinge]

how do i remove these wrapper text? I can use !string in some instances but it causes error in longer scripts.

[formal goblet]

${!...}$

[tiny hinge]

ok that's in https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/#410-do-not-include-explanation-in-chat-message . my bad

[winged sequoia]

so if i am understanding this changing this part (roll1 <= (ref('modifier')- ref('Erschwernis') I should be able to put text there instead of a number?

[zinc verge]

so I have this formula
${CURSE_check==true?floor([:MAG:d:CURSE_base:+:CURSE_multipliedmag:+:CURSE_additive:]):'no post'}$
in a label roll message which is supposed to only roll if the checkbox CURSE_check == true.

Where the formula says 'no post' at the end, what do I need to actually put there to make the formula not post anything to the chat in the case of a false result in the checkbox?

[formal goblet]

You cannot suppress messages in the current state.

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/issues/280

[raven seal]

you also shouldn't need the ==true for the conditional to work

[formal goblet]

true == true is true after all 😅

[raven seal]

I am confused though, because I have labels on my sheet that don't create a message (which is the behavior I want).

[zinc verge]

Even though it’s a checkbox?

[zinc verge]

My formula’s in the roll message part of the label, I think that’s why they’re saying it can’t be suppressed

[raven seal]

I mentioned this earlier, it throws an error into console but doesn't actually create the message

[formal goblet]

Well, that's some kind of workaround... Not really elegant imo 😅

[raven seal]

I assume this is because I have a script that doesn't actually return anything?

[formal goblet]

Have you updated to 2.4.0?

[raven seal]

no I'm on 2.3.1

[formal goblet]

Well, that's fixed in 2.4.0 😂

[raven seal]

lol, I know it's messy but it does at least accomplish what I want for my use case

[formal goblet]

You cannot really rely on unintended behavior. And errors are most of the time unintended.

So expect fixes to come

[raven seal]

yeah, I made sure to thumbs up that feature request so I can do this properly whenever that gets implemented

[formal goblet]

I think that shouldn't be too hard to implement and I can understand the need for that after we've introduced setPropertyInEntity()

[dire socket]

Hello, I updated, and this error comes up whenever I attempt to add a new component to my sheet. It is, just a tad inconvnient, but a solution of some kind would be greatly apprecaited

[tiny hinge]

can you use sameRow() to get values of labels in a dynamic table?

[dire socket]

yes

[tiny hinge]

ah cant retrieve label value if the label value is also generated on run time

found the issue

thanks

[winged sequoia]

This is probably a stuipd question, but how do I get the value of a formula of an active effect?

[robust wren]

Everything on this part is for the text (marked as 7)
It is just a long formula from me to display 'Erfolg' or 'Misserfolg'.
You can put whatever you like or just öeave or blank

[zinc verge]

aighty, what am I doing wrong here? 🥴
trying to get the roll message to post my roll result in a, "Success! [roll result]/100%" and it seems to recognize that "ROLL" = the roll, but then doesn't want to put that roll in the result statement 🤔

${ROLL>MAG?concat(' Failed! ',ROLL,'/100%'):concat(' Success! ',PERCENTAGE_final, '/100%')}$```

[zinc verge]

it seems from the best I can tell like it just doesn't like when I try to reuse formula results specifically in a concat() formula

[formal goblet]

Check the warning: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder#313-conditional-modifier-list

[tiny hinge]

not really sure what's going on but it seems like for labels, once I start initiating more variables, the label display starts showing weirdly. am I using the label wrongly or in an unintended way? all subsequent data is an incremental of extreme0 e.g extreme1 , extreme2 ...etc

when i use 1 less variable initiation it works

it gets all jumbled up when i put in my full formula

[normal ore]

Hello everyone, how are you doing? I started using the Custom System Builder not long ago, after the lack of updates to the Sandbox. However, I have a few questions. In the Sandbox, I could use items like consumables, meaning that when I used the item, it would update the attributes it was supposed to update and be removed from my character sheet. Is it possible to do this in the Custom System Builder as well?

[formal goblet]

Not really built in but you can achieve that with a small Script.

[normal ore]

What script? Do you have one readily accessible? In a way that wouldn't give you too much trouble?

[formal goblet]

Here's the doc: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder#45-scripts

[normal ore]

So, I just couldn't grasp the part in the script about the routine to remove the item after it's been consumed. Could you highlight that for me?

[formal goblet]

These are just general examples. It utilizes Javascript, so you have access to the whole FoundryAPI.

I'd need to take a closer look how delete-operations work there. So I can't give you a concrete solution for now.

[normal ore]

Sure thing!
An example would be for healing potions. You click, it heals you, and disappears.

But I've already provided you with a good amount of assistance. You're very welcome!

"Sorry for my English coming from GPT, I'm Brazilian lol!"

[formal goblet]

Stat changes can be done with setPropertyInEntity() https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/#4211-setpropertyinentity, only delete-operations are not implemented in CSB, so you have to refer to scripts to achieve that.

[brave trench]

I just updated to 2.4 and now a script wants to send "undefined" to chat while before it was quiet. What changed? How can I fix?

[formal goblet]

This is intended, because otherwise it would throw an error, which was unintended.

[tiny hinge]

I hide it inside a div to counter act that.

[tiny hinge]

Can I get confirmation that this is unintended? So I that I can just workaround it.

[brave trench]

not sure what that means, can you explain?

[formal goblet]

I don´t even know why this actually works, because you cannot use temporary variables in a Label, it´s only meant for Label Roll Messages.

[tiny hinge]

If you use the script to do some stuff (for me is resetting roll tables after randomly picking attack targets), it will return undefined in that chat which you can't really modify.

[tiny hinge]

I did away with the undefined by wrapping it in a div and setting it's visibility to none

Not sure if that helps

For context I guess random targeting while I do an attack roll. So it's part of the chat card. The undefined looks out of place in it.

[tiny hinge]

Oh dang I hope you guys don't remove 'support' for it LOL

[formal goblet]

You could return something else in the script or wrap that to a CSB-Formula, which has # to hide this.

[brave trench]

yeah, mine isn't part of chat at all, its a button to update the sheet. :/

[scarlet skiff]

@normal ore
so for the item deletion (thanks to the new "entity" in scripts - praise the Devs!)
you could use this:
WARNING DELETION IS PERMANENT
%{let item = entity.entity; await item.delete();}%

or if you want only one line:
%{await entity.entity.delete();}%

[formal goblet]

That works well 🙂 . I´ll also add linkedEntity so that you can also reference an Item in an Item Container

[normal ore]

That's wonderful!
But is there a way to simply remove it from the character sheet without deleting the item?

[formal goblet]

Uhm.. It´s the same?

[scarlet skiff]

when you put an item on an actor you create a new item. so the base item in your compendium doesn't get deleted

this only deletes the item you execute the script on. so if you put it on an actor the base item stays. if you open the item from the side bar and click it you delete the item from the sidebar

[normal ore]

Ahhhh, I see, sorry, it must have been my translation, haha! I understand now. So this won't permanently delete my item, it will just remove the item from the actor's sheet, right?

Wow, that's exactly what I wanted!

[formal goblet]

It creates a copy once you drag an item to the actor. So you only delete the copy.

[normal ore]

@formal goblet , @scarlet skiff
Thank you very much. You guys are amazing!!!

[robust wren]

someone here, who can explain a bit to me, how the additionals css works? for example how i can change the background Color of a tabbed panel? i have never worked with html or css, but i am willing to teach it myself if i roughly knew, what i have to do.
do i just have to do something like this (i used ChatGPT), name it like test.css and just put test.css in the field additional CSS classes?

body {
   font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
   background-color: #f0f0f0;
}```

[brave trench]

I haven't messed with HTML much, what do I have to do to get this to work? like this? <div visibility="none"> ... </div>

[formal goblet]

https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_selectors.asp

[vagrant hollow]

In the „Additional CSS classes“ field you just set a new class for the CSS file from your the CSB settings.

Example: In „Additional CSS classes“ place “mytabpanel”. Create a “test.css” file in your Foundry Data folder. Open this file with a texteditor and ad

.mytabpanel { background-color: #f0f0f0; }

to it. Head to your CSB settings and ad “test.css” into the “CSS Style file” field (databrowser does not work here). Now you have to reload your gameworld for the CSS file to take effect.

[tiny hinge]

<div style="display: none;"> %{game.tables.getName("Nic and co. (AoE)").resetResults()}% </div>

just that

[brave trench]

i haven't had any luck getting html to work in chat short of creating rows/columns. Is that because the syntax is different? Online it just says <tr width="100%"> but your syntax looks like it might be interacting with css?

[tiny hinge]

tr is table row

div is like an invisible section and yeah its html

it should work

most of the stuff in csb allows html and css manipulation even the labels i can put a table in it

[brave trench]

yeah i know, sorry, I'm just speaking in general, that when I try to adjust tag properties for my chat it does nothing. Like I'm missing something

[robust wren]

okay, thank you very much,
i tried to start it simple, just to test it.
i pressed F5 ( and logged out completly, cause i am using oracle cloud)
but i makes no difference.
I have uploaded the lemantis.css into my worlds/lemantis folder (where also is the world.json to found)
and lemantis.css is in the setting from CSB

did is miss something?

[robust wren]

thanks, i can work with that to learn css 🙂

[tiny hinge]

i suspect it might be because of overriding css styles. best way to do it is actually to inspect the chat to see whether your class styles are applying

[vagrant hollow]

Foundry is not accepting every html order.

[tiny hinge]

css styles should work tho

[brave trench]

thank you for the div idea, it works. not optimal though, I'd rather have the old 2.3 error where it just quietly let my button function as a button lol. I hope they find a way to silence label rolls soon.

[tiny hinge]

i know

and i agree lol

[vagrant hollow]

Dann ist die Pfadangabe in den CSB Einstellungen nicht richtig. Die greift auf den grundsätzlichen Data Ordner. Daher muss bei dir dort „worlds/lemantis/lemantis.css“ stehen.
Aber du MUST die Spielwelt neu starten damit das CSS überhaupt geladen wird.

[robust wren]

ah super, das mit dem Pfad ist es gewesen, danke 🙂

[vagrant hollow]

Du kannst mit der CSS Datei auch ohne das „Additional CSS classes“ Feld fast alle optischen Voreinstellungen von Foundry überschreiben. Ich hatte mir als Ideengeber dafür einige Style Mods geladen und genauer angeschaut.

[normal basin]

Checked in here, saw that an update came out for CSB and hoped that it solved the problem of health and damage not really 100% working but it unfortunately didn't, was it supposed to fix that?

[scarlet skiff]

Why isnt it working for you?

[normal basin]

I have no idea, no errors show up when attempting to mess with it or anything, damage just stops working after working maybe once sometimes twice, if that but Martin said that it was some sort of bug so I was hoping that it might have been squashed in the most recent update but it seems like it wasn't

[dense pine]

Radio Buttons in Dynamic Table behave strange: The last row is automatically activated. Even is i select a different row, after a refresh it jumpf to the last row gain. Is there a way to prevent that? It want it to stay where i selected.

[fierce harbor]

Same here. Help says that if all buttons are selected by default only the last really is. Could it be something along the same line?

[cosmic karma]

hello. First of all, Thanks for the CSB @brittle moth .

now my question for everyone. is there a way to create custom checkboxes? i'm trying all kinds of tricks and nothing seems to work

I'm pretty happy wit how the Household system in going, but custom checkboxes would add that 'fingers kiss' finishing touch...

[fierce harbor]

Hi. May I ask what customization you're trying to achieve?

[cosmic karma]

Hi. Purely cosmetic. Want to change the art / elements that build a checkbox. There is a lot of tricks to do this with css but I cannot land anyone of them correctly...

thi is the original sheet, for example:

[fierce harbor]

I see. Sorry to say that's not exactly my field 🤷🏻‍♂️

[cosmic karma]

as it is right now I'm fully capable of playing. But as a personal preference I like to have sheets that add flavor...

[cosmic karma]

no worries, thanks for asking

[fierce harbor]

I too was thinking of having some cool graphics, but soon understood that was out of my league 😅

[cosmic karma]

I started with CBS this weekend and as soon as it clicked t made all the difference. 😄

[vagrant hollow]

With CSS I made mine into circles. But I don’t know if card symbols or else is possible this way.

[dire socket]

If you have any information on how to do literally any of this, I would love to know if you're able to share.

[cosmic karma]

would love to try. Can you share?

I have something like this right now...

.heart-checkbox {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.heart-checkbox input[type="checkbox"] {
  display: none;
}

.heart-checkbox label {
  display: inline-flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  width: 20px;
  height: 20px;
  background-image: url('artwork/Household/sheet/heart.svg');
  background-size: cover;
  margin-right: 10px;
}

.heart-checkbox input[type="checkbox"]:checked + label {
  background-image: url('artwork/Household/sheet/heart-filled.svg');
}```

tried also with content instead of images and nothing...

[dire socket]

Oooo

Thank you

[cosmic karma]

what I just discovered is that for the trick of using labels as checkboxes (customizing checkboxes are in general always doing this) the label needs no be AFTER the input element. And apparently CSB creates it after (I used a empty space in the label name to force the creation of a label):

[normal ore]

Can I include items from the spreadsheet in the dropdown list? I'm trying to do this using a pivot table, but I think I didn't quite understand it!

[sharp geyser]

You can use a Dyanmic Table as a referrence for dropdown lists which can be really handy :)

[normal ore]

I'm trying to do this, but I'm not sure why I'm not able to! Can you show me an example?

[sharp geyser]

Should be able to do it via an option on the Dropdown list.

However, trying to do it myself, I believe the Dynamic Table needs to be attached to the actor.

[normal ore]

What am I doing wrong?

[sharp geyser]

Can I see what the template looks like with the dynamic table on it?

[normal ore]

Would this be it?

[sharp geyser]

Uhh... The template with the Dynamic Table on it :)

[normal ore]

This?

[sharp geyser]

Hmm... Try without the item container having the same key as the column?

[normal ore]

Nothing!

[sharp geyser]

I have no clue :( I've been experiencing a similar issue

[karmic shell]

Can we add borders to Custom System Builder character sheets? I'm trying to figure out ways to divide the CS more. Make it easier to find info you need as a player.

[static zephyr]

I think the idea is to use borders in your css files.

[karmic shell]

How do I do that? Like what do I even open up to edit?

[fading rover]

Can you tag me a solution if you happen to work this out, please? I'm trying to solve the same issue.

[static zephyr]

You have to drop a css file in the foundry data directory and then you point to it from the CSB settings in the far right menu. Then you can give all of your panels and such css selectors, and style them in that CSS file.

I haven't done it myself yet, it just mentions it in 8.4 of the CSB docs.

[latent sorrel]

For css, I use Custom CSS module, its easier to edit live.

[static zephyr]

Is there a way to break out of a roll early, like, I have several rolls in a row, but half way in there's a condition where I can stop if a certain amount of success hasn't occured. Is there a command to stop a roll message mid-way?

[static zephyr]

I think I may have found a bug? I set net_hits, then I add to it using net_hits= net_hits + stuff, but then later in the roll message, it reverts back to the first value.

[normal ore]

Of course!

[formal goblet]

Nope

[formal goblet]

You cannot use the assign-operator = in CSB like in other programming languages.

[static zephyr]

But it worked for the 14?

I'm not arguing. I'm just confused why it worked a little bit, that threw me off.

[formal goblet]

I don't even know how that should even work 😅

[static zephyr]

I'll think of another way to do it. You can't use := in a ternary, I don't think. I errored out alot figuring that out.

[formal goblet]

You cannot really combine Item Containers with Dynamic Tables. At least not with a meaningful use case.

[formal goblet]

This here should work without an issue: ${test:= var ? 'val1' : 'val2'}$

[static zephyr]

Excellent! Thank you. I tried all my attempts to the right of the "?"

[normal ore]

Oh, I'm glad you warned me. I was racking my brain trying to solve that, haha! Thank you so much!

[winged sequoia]

so i've created a custom active effect using a world script, and after 3 or 4 times reading through the read me. I'm still at at a complete loss as to how the modifiers can be used at all. I'm under the understanding that you can't modify a num or input feilds without the use of a secondary modifier or speical key for it. but when i've used the set to a static value, and try to add the two together nothing even winds up occuring.

[formal goblet]

Only Labels are modifyable.

If you need additional/other status effects, you can use the 'Core Settings Expanded'-Module. This way you can edit the standard status effects.

[winged sequoia]

I did just find this, albiet i'm not sure what you mean by only the label being able to be edited, and not sure how that is super useful in this instance

I'm more or less just wanting a flag that signifies that they have done their turn, or one for a stun that they have lost their turn. Albiet using the same flag in the back ground given function makes sense.

[winged sequoia]

I'm slowly getting this, but currently can't seem to get the key from the active effect to do anything to this new lable

[winged sequoia]

I can at least get lable's to use the formulas but activating a value from an effect just seems off the table unless i'm just trying to access it improperly

[sharp geyser]

Still need help, or did you figure it out? :)

[winged sequoia]

i wound up doing the it is time to step back after trying some more permutations. So assistance would be appreciated

[sharp geyser]

So could you reiterate what your idea is so I can try and help (If I can :x)

[winged sequoia]

More or less I'm setting up an active effect as a visual indicator if it has taken it's turn for a round, and after deliberation a seperate one for being stunned which is pretty much loosing its next activation(turn)

Kinda just want a binary true, false bool that I can pull in other macro's and potentially an initiative tracker if I can get that to set up

[sharp geyser]

Will it be possible to be 'stunned' for more than 1 turn?

[winged sequoia]

no

The state that triggers it either leads to instant death, or being stunned as the better of the 2 outcomes

[sharp geyser]

And this is the result of an attack?

[winged sequoia]

sort of?

IT is the result of being hit, and then failing a defense save. and if for each 1 of those failed it accumilates a stack that increases the likely hood of death

[sharp geyser]

Mkay

[winged sequoia]

for most things it is 1d6+1(or number of to use the game term wounds) 6+ is dead below stunned

[sharp geyser]

Ah, good ole wounds system :)

I don't understand it lmao

But:

I believe you're going to need to familiarise yourself with the fetchFromActor() to tell the system which actor is going to be stunned, this would work in unisen with the attack roll.
setPropertyInEntity() (for setting the stun value)

If you have a button which already acts as a sort of "End Turn" button, you could make that 'disable' Stun when it's pressed.

[winged sequoia]

I mean I'm pretty much implimenting onepagerules GrimDark Firefight in custom system builder

if you want context for what i'm setting up

[sharp geyser]

Oh idk what either of those are haha

I'm quite basic.

[winged sequoia]

valid valid

I've yet to set up any inititive system. at the current i've seen up a macro that forces foundries dice to do what I desire

[sharp geyser]

For me I have no issue with formulas, but, I'm not a coder like most of the other exceptional people who use CSB. The closest I get to 'coding' is actually Google Spreadsheets lmao.

[winged sequoia]

I have a basic of code knowkedge, just 0 html, and css, along with lite javascript experience

[sharp geyser]

You've got more coding knowledge than I do haha.

So you'll be able to do wonders with CSB, I don't doubt.

[sharp geyser]

Rookie numbers! I spent 8 hours trying to figure out dynamic tables

[winged sequoia]

I have yet to mess with those

[sharp geyser]

They're incredible

But I'm unfortunately retarded

All the time I spent on them, I wasn't using them how they were going to work in the slightest >_>"

[winged sequoia]

weird

fetching from actor is either showing up as not a function, or returning undefined

[sharp geyser]

You might need to set a fallback value.

${fetchFromActor('target',<KeyName_Of_Value>,<Fallback_Value>)}$

[winged sequoia]

oh that's a sheet command not something from foundry

I was just doing an idle

pull this macro to see what info I get from the function

[sharp geyser]

Ah

[winged sequoia]

oh yes

progress has been made

[vagrant hollow]

Sure, here it is:

.sheet input[type="checkbox"] {
    -webkit-appearance: initial;
    appearance: initial;
    background: #fff;
    flex: 0 0 14px;
    width: 14px;
    height: 14px;
    border-radius: 7px;
    outline: 1px solid #000;
    cursor: pointer;
}

.sheet input[type="checkbox"]:checked {
    background: #71cafb !important;
    border: 2px solid #fff !important;
    -webkit-filter: none !important;
 }

Good luck

[winged sequoia]

I've figured out how to pull and computer formulas in a macro, but still can't get the active effect to effect the hidden attribute

which is being a pain

[cosmic karma]

Thanks, didn't try yet, bit I have a question. The .sheet class is something that you created/assigned to the checkbox or it's a general already in place class?

just tested... a general class..

Huge thank you!!

[scarlet skiff]

can you post a screenshot of the active effect, how you set it up and which key it should alter? should look something like this

[cosmic karma]

@vagrant hollow yeah, you did put in the right track! Thanks again!

[vagrant hollow]

Very Nice!!!
How you made it?

[cosmic karma]

all your code practically, the most important information was the .sheet class. This is for the butterfly checkbox for example, the same for all others. I just added my custom class (decorum in this case) to the Additional CSS classes in the advanced part of the component in the template

.sheet .decorum input[type="checkbox"] {
    -webkit-appearance: initial;
    appearance: initial;
    background: url(artwork/Household/sheet/butterfly.svg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
    flex: 0 0 27px;
    width: 27px;
    height: 22px;
    cursor: pointer;
    transform: scale(1.5);
}

.sheet .decorum input[type="checkbox"]:checked {
    background: url(artwork/Household/sheet/butterfly-filled.svg) !important;
    -webkit-filter: none !important;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
}

[vagrant hollow]

Thanks, will be help full for future projects.

[lofty lintel]

I am currently getting some experience with CSB. And I am stuck at calling a macro with an argument/parameter. My Macro is working and for simplicity let'S assume it is called "Testmacro" and its code is ```JS

let param1="This is a test";
console.log (param1);

I want to call this macro with a parameter param1 which should be according to documentation something like this from an actor sheet:

%{game.macros.getName('Testmacro').execute({param1: 'This is other text'})}%

How do I pass that param1 into the macro?

I am able to call the macro. The macro it self runs. I should know how to pass the param1 from CSB but I do not know how I need to adjust my macro to receive the param1

Make the text in " instead of ' should work.

That looks pretty cool, I think I will try it, after I got some basics 🙂

I am still getting the hang on java script and CSB. Can you give me the correct code/expression?

[robust wren]

I am at my mobile atm, I can do that later, when i am at the PC.

But why do you want to give a parameter and instantly change it in your macro?

[lofty lintel]

I would like to keep my macro generic and build the parameters in the formula on the actor sheet. Otherwise I need to know beforehand where I will store the information to retrieve it directly in the macro.

Actually the text is just an example. I will pass a string with informations which I will parse/slice in the macro.

this should be in the testmacro:

let param1 = param1;
console.log(param1);

everything you pass to the macro you should be able to call directly by the name you give it in the execute object

and of course you dont need the first line

Thats how it looks like with that setup. Also no output of 'MU'

[scarlet skiff]

hmm

did you put the macro in script macro mode?

[lofty lintel]

Yes

[scarlet skiff]

for me it works

[lofty lintel]

Hmm .. 11.305 and CSB 2.3.1 maybe I need to make the upgrade step?

[winged sequoia]

and what it is trying to modify

I have tried variosu different set ups with this to little effect

[scarlet skiff]

im on this

[lofty lintel]

Ok I will upgrade first. One never knows.
