[formal goblet]

Should work if you remove '{}', I can't even guess what that should mean 😅

[mint basalt]

Dorking around?

Or the shite formula I'm trying to get working?

With the '' it just creates a string.

[formal goblet]

That one should be fine now

[mint basalt]

Without it, nothing appears

[formal goblet]

Check the console then

[mint basalt]

So, you think the first one should work? With just ${current_hp <= breaking_point ? vehicle_base_speed /2: vehicle_base_speed}$

[formal goblet]

It has correct syntax at least

But I can't verify your keys tho

[formal goblet]

That's an indicator that one of the keys is not correct

Try out game.items.getName('itemName').system.props in the console and check your keys

[mint basalt]

Yep, it was an issue with the keys. Thanks!

As always, I highly appreciate your helpful responses and patience.

[static cargo]

There's a deprication warning now, having switched to v12. Is there a patch or mod I need to smooth things over?

[late ferry]

Top danke! So wie ich das verstehe füge ich dann diese Code zu dem anderen dann einfach dann hinzu ?

[tulip obsidian]

Thks for the answers

[high stag]

Someone using the polyglot module?
could you tell me where i put the Language (Foo) item to make it works?

[high stag]

I was trying to make a input text field in a dynamic table allow a player to write another variable to pick that value.

${sameRow('matrizatq_mod', 0)}$
but only works when the input its a number.

i want it to pick a variable like ${atk_mod}$

[formal goblet]

Use ref() in this case (together with sameRow())

[high stag]

hm
like ref(sameRow())?

or like samerow(ref())?

tried every combination and doesn't seems to work with the script

[formal goblet]

Give an example with concrete values and what the desired output should be

[high stag]

Ok

the script
${roll:=[ 3d20dhdl + ${sameRow('matrizatq_mod', 0)}$]}$

so
writing these without the ${}$ or with idk but i tested with both

should return a number, like 5.

this atk_mod its a label. The 5.

the image didn't help, but when I said "writing these" it was when I mentioned the field

I want the modifier atk_mod to be an option, so if possible still being possible to write numbers.

[formal goblet]

${#matrizatq_mod:= sameRow('matrizatq_mod', 0)}$
${#roll_mod:= ref(matrizatq_mod, matrizatq_mod)}$
${roll:= [3d20dhdl + :roll_mod:]}$

If you still got issues, check the console and post the error message

[high stag]

ok

thanks

The difference its if i typed with ${}$ or without

[formal goblet]

Try out game.actors.getName('actorName').system.props in the console and check your keys

[high stag]

the key its correct

[formal goblet]

Test this one out

${matrizatq_mod:= sameRow('matrizatq_mod', 0)}$
${roll_mod:= ref(matrizatq_mod, matrizatq_mod)}$

[high stag]

sadly no

[formal goblet]

My example doesn't have the variable roll

[high stag]

I must have forgotten to refresh sorry

it works

[high stag]

but that doesnt

same "string error"

[formal goblet]

And this?

${matrizatq_mod:= sameRow('matrizatq_mod', 0)}$
${roll_mod:= ref(matrizatq_mod, matrizatq_mod)}$
${roll:= [:roll_mod:]}$

[high stag]

works

[formal goblet]

${matrizatq_mod:= sameRow('matrizatq_mod', 0)}$
${roll_mod:= ref(matrizatq_mod, matrizatq_mod)}$
${roll:= [3d20dhdl+:roll_mod:]}$

[high stag]

also

[formal goblet]

Well, that's basically the same we had before...

[high stag]

i know

but if im trying to copy the previous it returns tha same error

[formal goblet]

Does it error out if you add the empty spaces back in?

[high stag]

yes

[formal goblet]

Well, then without I guess 😅

[high stag]

you help a lot, thanks

[late ferry]

Hallo Martin ich habe soweit alles übertragen und es Funzt soweit danke dafür! Hätte jetzt 4 Fragen: 1. Durch die Ausgleichspunkte kann jetzt eine 20 auch zum Erfolg führen. Eine 20 soll aber immer eine Misserfolg sein, wie kann ich das in der Formel anpassen? 2. Ich würde auch gerne Einfügen dass wenn ein Wurf gewürfelt wird da dransteht im Chatlog auf welches Talent gewürfelt wurde. (Diebstahl, Bauen, Reiten etc.) 3. Ich habe ein Label Initiative. Die Augenzahl hier soll immer der Würfel sein. Also 5 wäre w5, 7 wäre w7 10 wäre w10 etc. Kann ich das irgendwie hinzufügen das wenn ein Spieler das würfel zur Turn Order beim Combat Encounter hinzugefügt wird? Aktuell scheint mir der Standard immer bei einem w20 zu liegen. 4. Kann ich euch irgendwie/wo finanziell danken für die Hilfe und Arbeit die du hier leistest?

[late ferry]

ok punkt 2 hat sich gelöst hab das grad selber rausgefunden

[oblique spear]

So, trying to create the dice pools for WOIN, essentially for 1,2 = 1d6; 3,4,5 = 2d6; 6,7,8,9 = 3d6; 10,11,12,13,14 = 4d6; 15 = 5d6.
Would a switchcase be the best for this, or is there a cleaner way of working it out?

[formal goblet]

I'd use a nested ternary operator for this

[oblique spear]

do you have an example of this?

[formal goblet]

${#dices:= value <= 2 ? 1 : value <= 5 ? 2 : value <= 9 ? 3 ...}$`
${[:dices:d6]}$

[oblique spear]

Ahhh, I see!

[formal goblet]

• ${(Gesamtwert <= 0 or RollErgebnis == 20 or RollErgebnis2 == 20) ? 'Fehlschlag' : 'Erfolg'}$
• Initiativeformel kannst du in den Einstellungen anpassen.
• Es gibt nen Ko-Fi-Link auf der Projektseite, dem kannst du folgen

[late ferry]

top danke hat geklappt! nur bei initiative krieg ich ne fehlermeldung weil es ja durch die formel zwar gerundet wird aber eigentlich eine dezimalzahl ist. habs probier mit der round funktion aber ich mach dann wohl noch was falsch hier 😄

[formal goblet]

"Enter a Formula without ${}$..." 😅

Ansonsten gelten dieselben Regeln wie bei Labels auch

[late ferry]

hab ich auch schon probiert aber dann kommt immer nur null raus

[formal goblet]

Musst auch [] verwenden

Sonst rollt da nichts

[1d:Initiativewert:]

[late ferry]

alles klar funzt xD wo kann ich lernen was die ganzen zeichen in den formel bedeuten? bzw was für ne programmiersprache ist das? dann schau ich dass ich da mal die grundlagen lerne, macht voll bock 😄

[signal river]

Hello! is there a way to refresh/reload all actors with a single button? I have a bunch of enemies and made a change to the template they all use, I would prefer to avoid going 1 by 1 clicking this

[grave ether]

You should be able to force update all of them, go to the monster template and at the top it should say force reload or reload all @signal river

[signal river]

OMG I love ya, it worked! thanks!

[mint basalt]

Ok... question. So, if I want to reference a value in an item container, on a different tab... how would I go about doing that?

${fetchFromDynamicTable('electronic_container', 'item_proc_power')}$

That is what I tried, but it is not populating with anything. The item container itself is on a different tab

[formal goblet]

Item Containers are not referencable (at least for now), so you'd have to fall back to item modifiers or a Script

[mint basalt]

Ahhhh, ok.

Thanks

[late ferry]

versteh ich das richtig das bei numbers field keine formel gehen?

[formal goblet]

Ist richtig

[late ferry]

kann man bei dropdowns eigentlich irgendwie einfügen das man dann den ausgewählten punkt mit einem rollwurf verknüft? man kann hier ja die 5 hauptattribute auswählen wo ja schon in ner andere formel definiert war wie der wurf funktioniert

[formal goblet]

Ist möglich, wirst allerdings auf JS ausweichen müssen

[late ferry]

ok ne hört sich zu kompliziert an 😄 hab meine version von foundry aktualisert. scheint alles zu klappen aber ist hier ne meldung die aufpopt. ignorieren?

gibt es bei modulen etwas zu beachten? oder kann man bedanklos die nutzen?

[formal goblet]

CSB ist nicht auf V12 getestet. Gibt auch bereits vereinzelte Bugmeldungen

[late ferry]

i see also besser auf 11 wechseln?

[formal goblet]

Module musst du separat kontrollieren

Vorerst ja

[late ferry]

ok top danke !

bin jetzt auf version 11 gewechselt und komm nimma rein :/

[formal goblet]

Schau dass Chat Commander drauf ist

[late ferry]

is drin

wenn ich ne neue welt machen geht es auch komischer weise

aber auf der alten ist mein ganzes zeug 😄

[formal goblet]

Mouseover mal das rote Icon

[late ferry]

da stand was von core update. hab jetzt einfach das latest bachup hochgeladen und jetzt gehts wieder 😄

[glacial bluff]

Hey all, I have a question about triggering scripts in roll label messages. Can it not process functions defined in script macros? I've been having trouble making it work.

[formal goblet]

Definition alone is not enough, you have to call the Macro: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Guides/Formula-System#334-calling-macros

[civic finch]

Hello there! I'm not sure if this issue is with CSB or a FoundryVTT issue, but I can no longer add tokens to my battle maps. Tokens already on the map seem to work fine

[formal goblet]

Are you using V12? That would be the issue

[late ferry]

Kurze Frage, hab für die Healthbar bei Configure attribute bars bei Maximum die Formel reingehauen wie das Leben berechnet wird und bei Value die Zeile im Sheet wo das aktuelle leben manuelle angepasst wird . Wenn ich jetzt im Sheet das leben ändere ändert es sich auch im Icon auf dem Feld. Kann man auch irgendwie verlinken dass wenn ich es auf dem Feld änder es auch im Sheet angepasst wird? Dass es quasi in beide Richtungen geht?

[formal goblet]

Das System generiert automatisch ne Bar, wenn du ein Number Field mit nem Max-Wert hast. Brauchst keine eigene Bar konfigurieren

[late ferry]

ja aber mein max wert varriiert ja z.B bei jedem lvl up dann müsste ich das jedes mal anpassen oder nicht? oder versteh ich was falsch

ah oder kann ich beim dem number field in max auch ne formel rein schreiben?

habs danke!

[formal goblet]

Ja, genau das

[lime pewter]

Hello everyone,
Could a kind soul explain to me if it is possible to create consumable items?
I'd like to create items with a limited number of uses, like healing potions for example. These items would be in a dynamic table like this:
Name | Remaining uses | Max uses | Activation
The aim would be to have a button to use the item, which will modify the affiliated stat, life points in the case of a healing potion, and reduce the use of a unit. Ideally, the item would even disappear from the character sheet when “remaining uses” reaches 0.
Does anyone know if this is possible? And if so, could you tell me how to go about it? I've tried looking everywhere with no real success and I admit I'm not 100% at ease with the system, especially as I'm French with an average level, so I don't fully understand everything.
Thanks in advance!

[oblique spear]

Is there a way to do a slot-based inventory?

[formal goblet]

It's possible to do so, but it will require a little Script from your side to achieve this effect. Check these sections for more info:

• https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/#45-scripts
• https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Guides/Formula-System#33-script-expressions
• https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Scripts/Scripts-for-Items

If you have difficulties with English... The creator of the system is from France, so... 😅

[formal goblet]

Tricky, because Item Containers are just displaying Items, they do not contain them. The Actor itself holds all Items

[lime pewter]

Thanks, I'll have a look tomorrow!
It would be more practical if someone could explain it to me in French, indeed. 😂

[oblique spear]

Ah, fair enough.

[formal goblet]

Btw, are we talking about a Dynamic Table with entries or actual Items?

[lime pewter]

A Dynamic Table with Items.
I have created a Healing Potion item which have 1 use and give 1d6 healing. I drop it into a Dynamic Table named "Consumables".

But maybe it's not the good way to do it.

[formal goblet]

So a Dynamic Table with an Item Container?

[lime pewter]

My bad. It's indeed an Item Container and not a Dynamic Table ! 😭

[formal goblet]

Alright, that's an important difference 😅 .

Your Script should look like this then:

%{
const remainingUses = linkedEntity.system.props.remainingUses;
remainingUses <= 1 ? await linkedEntity.delete() : await linkedEntity.update({'system.props.remainingUses': remainingUses - 1});
}%

[lime pewter]

Thanks !
So, in my Item, I go to item modifier and put this script, that's it ?

[formal goblet]

No, put it into an Item Container

[lime pewter]

Sorry, I'm not very comfortable with the system.

Okay !

[formal goblet]

It should be in the Label Roll Message of the Labell

[lime pewter]

I'll try it tomorrow ! You're a life savior !

Thanks you very much !

[glacial bluff]

Hmm I have another question. Is a formula like ${ [1d20] }$ considered a Roll() object that could be passed to a script in a roll label (%{}%) for example?

[formal goblet]

nope, it will return a number

[glacial bluff]

Hmm, okay. I'm a little lost on how to do what I want here. Basically I have a macro which defines an async function which takes a Roll object as input and modifies it (turning 1s to 10s and reevaluating highest/lowest), and I want to connect that through the CSB formula roll so that it can be applied to rolls made via CSB buttons. Is this possible to do?

[peak jacinth]

Anyone know a way to set a label's contents to the entry of a dynamic table dependent on the value in another number field?

[glacial bluff]

I'm a noob at this but I'd guess a combination of switchCase and fetchFromDynamicTable

[peak jacinth]

Do you know where I could find out how to use those?

[glacial bluff]

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

I've just been going off what I can find here and on the wiki

[peak jacinth]

So, say I have a table called charCurrHealthTable, and columns named 'healthValue' and 'healthDescription'. Would this get a specific healthDescription dependent on the value of charCurrHealth?

fetchFromDynamicTable('charCurrHealthTable', 'healthDescription', 'healthValue', ${charCurrHealth}$, '=')

[glacial bluff]

I think you'd need to use '==' but I'm not sure.

[peak jacinth]

Oh yeah, good point -

[formal goblet]

The only thing would be this here: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Guides/Formula-System#334-calling-macros

[glacial bluff]

Yeah, I've been messing around with that but my JS ability is pretty limited. I can't seem to figure out how to produce a roll using the Label Roll Message and simultaneously have that roll subjected to the async function in the macro.

[peak jacinth]

What'm I missing here? 🤔

Is there something I need to do for the label text to go through that code and display the result, instead of plain text? (Also yes, I fixed the '=' to '==', my bad.)

[glacial bluff]

The ${}$ need to be around the whole thing

not the charCurrStamina

[peak jacinth]

Oooh huh.

[glacial bluff]

Do rollable table results have to be numbers to work in the ${[#table]}$ format? I'm trying to use a rollable table with HTML formatting in the results and it's throwing an error.

[glacial bluff]

Nvm, trouble was with string delimiters. Had to use a different workaround.

One final question for the day: How complex can Roll Label Messages get in terms of formulas? Will there be a significant degradation of performance if I have a button checking a whole lot of attributes to determine what kind of roll it makes?

[peak jacinth]

Is there any way to fetch the contents of a specific item container via a script?

[mint basalt]

I may be wrong, but I think that the item containers are just "displays". And that the items themselves are all just contained by the actor.

When you pick what an item container can have in it, it is just what is actively displayed. Almost like they act more as windows into what templated items are put on the actor.

[peak jacinth]

Is there sny way to fetch items, then?

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Scripts/Scripts-for-Items

[peak jacinth]

Oohh, sick! Thank you!

-Using Custom System Builder
Problem: Can't edit attribute bar on a token. As in, I have the bar set up and showing, but I can't add or subtract from its total. I try clicking on the number box and nothing happens
-I do have various Modules installed, but the problem persists even after I disable all of them
-REALLY need these attribute bars to work, cause the system i'm making is rather resource tracking heavy thanks to the Action Point system
-Only found one mention of this issue online on reddit, but no one answered it sadly
-I made a custom attribute, and the bar does properly track it. It's just I can ONLY update it on the character sheet

-Can't even select or otherwise type in the number box for the bars, its acting like a static label

[vagrant hollow]

Don’t use „configure attribute bars“ for this, they can only be changed via sheet changes.
Simply ad a maximum value to the number field of your attribute. The system generates a bar automatically. On the token settings resources select this bar “attributeBar.your-numberfield-key” an you are good.

[humble geyser]

AH ok thanks

[lime pewter]

Hello Martin,

Hello hab mal wieder n Anliegen aktuell habe ich für die Talente in meinem Spiel folgende Formel: Springen

${RollErgebnis:= [1d20]}$
${RollErgebnis2:= [1d20]}$
${Ausgleichspunkte:= springe1 + EXSP}$
${Gesamtwert:= Ausgleichspunkte - max(RollErgebnis - Koe, 0) - max(RollErgebnis2 - Gen, 0)}$
${(Gesamtwert <= 0 or RollErgebnis == 20 or RollErgebnis2 == 20) ? 'Fehlschlag' : 'Erfolg'}$

Es werden auf zwei Würfel gewürfelt und es gibt Ausgleichspunkte um den Wurf warscheinlicher zu schaffen. Jetzt ist es in meinem Regelwerk so dass die übrigen ausgleichspunkte und die Different zum zu gelingenden Wurf addiert werden um einen Qualitätsstufe zu bestimmen. Nach den Beispiel: Man Würfel auf 13 & 12 und hat 5 Ausgleichspunkte. Die Würfelwerte die rauskommen sind 5 & 13. Den ersten Wurf schafft man und hat einen Different von 8, den zweiten Schafft man nicht und muss von den 5 Ausgleichpunkten einen hernehmen und 4 bleiben übrig. Somit hat man 12 Restpunkte (8 Differenz und 4 übrige Ausgleichspunkte) Jetzt würde ich das gerne im Chatlog automatisch darstellen damit die Spieler das nicht nachrechnen müssen. Aktuell wird ja sogar angezeigt wie viele Ausgleichpunkte man hat und wie viele Übrig sind. (Hier jetzt 5 & 5) Kann man hinzufügen in die Formel das bei einer Bestimmten Anzahl an Restpunkten die Qualitätstufe angezeigt wird? Nach Folgender Logik:

Legendäre QS: Zwei 1er
Epische QS: Eine 1
Perfect QS: 20+ Restpunkte
Gute QS: 10-19 Restpunkte
Geschaffte QS: 0-9 Restpunkte

Natürlich sollen die Qualitässtufen nur angezeigt werden wenn der Wurf gelingt. Wenn ein Wurf eine 1 ist aber der zweite auch mit Ausgleichpunkten nicht geligt soll das nicht erscheinen.

[small nacelle]

Hoping someone can maybe help. - I'm trying to make it so that certain check boxes only show if other check boxes are ticked. for e.g. if the "Level 1 Fire" checkbox is ticked then the "Level 2 Fire" Check box is visible. I'm not sure if I'm using the correct formula in the "Level 2 Fire". Assuming the Level 1 Fire's Component key is "comp_fire1check" what would my formula need to say? I had: comp_fire1check is true but suspect there should be more to it then that.

[small nacelle]

Just found the answer to my own question - In case of a Checkbox it's either just the key of the Checkbox or not(checkboxKey)

[mint basalt]

Does anyone know if we should wait until the next release of CSB before we upgrade to Foundry Version 12?

[quasi plume]

I believe Martin has said CSB currently isn't ready for V12.

[brittle moth]

Kommt leider ne Fehlermeldung

habs mit chatgpt gelöst 😄

danke dir !

[small nacelle]

Is it possible for a Item container column to display a radio button if the item in question has a radio button on it? Also it appears as though whenever i close a character sheet the radio buttons reset ?

[earnest imp]

@formal goblet Heya, I wanna ask something, does template reload only happens when a user tries to read an actor sheet?

I need to confirm something, currently narrowing down the cause of bug I've been having

---

So I think the "user not having permission to update an actor" bug I've been having

Came from me dropping a stat-enhancing item into a token, but never opening that token's actor sheet leaving the actor sheet values unchanged by the new item

So when a player with Observer permission tries to open the actor sheet

The sheet is trying to reload the template to re-calculate the actor sheet, but since the player is not the owner of that Actor

It results in that error

This issue almost always fixes itself when I, as a GM, open the actor sheet, which I assume reloads the entire template

And player immediately was able to read the Actor Sheet they previously could not see because of the error above

[formal goblet]

@brittle moth we might need to rethink the rendering process

[formal goblet]

Yeah, rendering does trigger computations. You can observe that with the log

[earnest imp]

Thank you! This is all the info I need to know to workaround my bug problem

// Workaround fix for CSB 3.0.0. There is a bug where if you add a stat-altering Item to an Actor,
// but never open the Actor Sheet, the sheet remains not updated by the Item, so that if there is an user
// trying to read the Actor Sheet, they would get permission error of not being an "Owner" of the sheet.

Hooks.on('createItem', async (item, temp, uuid) => {
    // Makes GM client responsible for updating any actor sheet that gets an item.  
    if (game.user.isGM) {
        item.actor.templateSystem.reloadTemplate();
    }
})```

I'm currently running the above script on my worldscript as a fix to my game, but it still would be great to see official fix implemented to the main build

[brittle moth]

Can you create an issue in Gitlab si that we can track it and not forget about this bug ? ^^

[earnest imp]

Give me a bit

I made an issue already but apparently I've gotten the bug completely wrong so I'll close that and make a new one

[formal goblet]

You can just edit the text tbh

[earnest imp]

Oh i guess i can do that

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/issues/350

Issue updated!

[sturdy mesa]

I want to create concentration spells where the player presses a button on the sheet and a customized image is set as the status effect icon on the player's token (or something like that, maybe just to place an image on the token). I use Condition Lab & Triggler, which allows me to create custom statuses with my icons. Would this be possible?

The image that would be set as the status effect on the token would be housed in an "iconimage" key.

[formal goblet]

I don't know enough about Active Effects from the head, so I can only lead you to this page here: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Scripts/Scripts-for-Active-Effects

I would like to know if there is a compendium or creature/monster sheet for the Custom System Builder system already ready, and where I can import it.

[late ferry]

Hello Martin: Die Formel hat wohl doch nen kleiner Fehler drin: Es scheint als würde man hier die Ausgleichspunkte und Restpunkte gleichsetzen. Wodurch ein Wurf der eigentlich nicht gelungen als gelungen zählt. Leider kann mir ChatGpd hier auch nur fehlerhafte Formel zukommen lassen. Hast du da noch ne Idee? Hier in dem Beispiel Würfel ich eigentlich auf 8 & 8 und habe 4 Ausgleichpunkte. mit einer 16 im zweiten wurf kann ich selbst mit den 4 Ausgleichpunkte den Wurf nicht schaffen. Es scheint aber als würde die Formel denken, dass die Restpunkte auch zum Ausgleich verwenden werden (deswegen steht hier neben der 4 eine 2 weil er denkt 6 Restpunkte von Wurf 1 + 4 Ausgleichpunkte sind 10 "Ausgleichpunkte", der zweite wurf wurde um 8 nicht geschafft also bleiben zwei Punkte übrigen)...Hier wäre der Code:
${RollErgebnis:= [1d20]}$
${RollErgebnis2:= [1d20]}$
${#Einsen:= (RollErgebnis == 1 ? 1 : 0) + (RollErgebnis2 == 1 ? 1 : 0)}$
${#Zwanziger:= (RollErgebnis == 20 ? 1 : 0) + (RollErgebnis2 == 20 ? 1 : 0)}$
${Ausgleichspunkte:= springe1 + EXSP}$
${Gesamtwert:= Zwanziger >= 1 ? -1 : Ausgleichspunkte + (Koe - RollErgebnis) + (Gen - RollErgebnis2)}$
${(Gesamtwert < 0 ? 'Fehlschlag' : Einsen == 1 ? 'Epische QS' : Einsen == 2 ? 'Legendäre QS' : Gesamtwert <= 9 ? 'Geschaffte QS' : Gesamtwert <= 19 ? 'Gute QS' : 'Perfekte QS')}$
Kannst du da nochmal helfen?

[formal goblet]

How do you expect the stats of a creature to be?

[elder jasper]

Well, I'm creating a Solo Leveling RPG, so I need the creatures' stats to be "close" to what we have in D&D 5e. I haven't seen any monster sheets in all the systems I've found for CSB so far, so I wanted to see if there are any ready-made models for me to base myself on as well.

[elder jasper]

How do I get this variable from itemContainer ?
I've already tried the following codes and they didn't work:
${nivelConjuracao}$ and ${item.nivelConjuracao}$
I tried getting other variables from the container item but in the same way I'm not getting it

I'm trying to scroll through them but it's generating this error:
Uncaught (in promise) Error: undefined. Uncomputable token manaSkill
[Detected 1 package: system:custom-system-builder]

[formal goblet]

There's none officially, so I can't help with that

[formal goblet]

"Uncomputable token manaSkill". Seems like manaSkill is not defined

[elder jasper]

but manaSkill is set as one of the itemContainer variables

equals nivelCojuracao thats doesn’t work

[formal goblet]

You cannot use variables from Item Containers (at least not in the stable-version)

[elder jasper]

So I basically can't put a variable in the container item? (I was trying to put the skill's casting level in the itemContainer so the player doesn't have to open the skill all the time) From what I understand, I can't do that

[formal goblet]

You can use variables in the Item Container, but you cannot pull data from Item Containers

[elder jasper]

Ohhh, okay
Tks

[elder jasper]

I have this code below that makes a roll. The first values ​​of the variables: rankNumero, scrollAcerto, typeSkill are not working correctly. But the last code that defines the Degree of success, does not work, instead of returning the text, it returns a random dice roll.
Part 1:

${#rolagemAcerto:=rankNumero == 7 ? ${[7d8]}$ : rankNumero == 6 ? ${[6d8]}$ : rankNumero == 5 ? ${[5d8]}$ : rankNumero == 4 ? ${[4d8]}$ : rankNumero == 3 ? ${[3d8]}$ : rankNumero == 2 ? ${[2d8]}$ : ${[1d8]}$}$

[vocal sorrel]

Could someone please hint me what the Conditional Modifier List can be used for? I read the description, but I can't really get my head around its purpose.

[vagrant hollow]

Having a central place on the character sheet where the players can switch item modifiers on/off without need to open every item and change the config.
It is up to GM if a specific item modifier shows up in this list.
Example: The effect of an magic item can be activated or deactivated by player.

[summer kiln]

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried making a deck builder with CSB

[elder raft]

Hello!
I have almost got my system figured out and implemented, but I was wondering if there was a way to display individual dice rolled from a pool, similar to FoundryVTT's default rollcards?
https://foundryvtt.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/website-media-dev/user_671/screen/count-successes-2020-10-21.jpg

I'm using
Roll: ${roll:=[${dicecount}$d${trait}$cs<=${attribute_saturationvalue}$cf=${trait}$]}$
As my label roll message to output a customizable dice count, dice size roll and label successes (based on "Saturation value" and failures (max dice face)
And it works! (after much trial and error)
But it displays as a single icon with the fail-count, and required a hover to see the actual dice rolls.

Being able to see the whole pool in the card would be awesome!
(Since this isn't a math'd pool. It's a bastardization of the WUSHU system, where I need to see all the successes and failures separately/individually)

Any knowledge/pointing in the right direction would be appreciated! If possible, of course.

[formal goblet]

You sure that the Roll Message fits the code you've posted?

[formal goblet]

You could use a Script to get the default Foundry output. CSB itself doesn't offer to display individual dices unfortunately.

[toxic lintel]

Hi - pursuing the implementation of Descent: journeys in the dark,
the game uses 6 different 6 sided dice.
a rolled face can show up to 3 effects:
range, damage, power surges, power enhancement and miss
each type of dice is a different color.
how do I go about defining these dice to the system?

[elder raft]

Ahh, I had a feeling CSB wasn't able to get that defaul output, considering everything I read in my search.
I'm guessing by script you mean something that ties into the Macro-system Foundry uses? Or something else?

[formal goblet]

More or less. Macros are executing JS code. CSB lets you do the same if you use the Script-Expression syntax in a Label Roll Message. So you can directly interact with the Foundry API.

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Guides/Formula-System#33-script-expressions

[elder raft]

You may be asking me to dive into deeper waters than I'm used to swimming with that one! lol, I'm no programmer
But I shall take a look and see if I can use that!
Thanks!

[formal goblet]

Check the pinned messages of the macro-polo channel. There should be enough code examples for a simple Roll Message

[elder raft]

Cheers! Thanks! I shall do!

[late ferry]

@formal goblet hast du eventuell hierzu für mich noch ne Lösung :/

[formal goblet]

${Gesamtwert:= Zwanziger >= 1 ? -1 : Ausgleichspunkte - max(RollErgebnis - Koe, 0) - max(RollErgebnis2 - Gen, 0)}$
${Differenz:= Ausgleichspunkte + (Koe - RollErgebnis) + (Gen - RollErgebnis2)}$
${(Gesamtwert < 0 ? 'Fehlschlag' : Einsen == 1 ? 'Epische QS' : Einsen == 2 ? 'Legendäre QS' : Differenz <= 9 ? 'Geschaffte QS' : Differenz <= 19 ? 'Gute QS' : 'Perfekte QS')}$

[late ferry]

nice danke !!!!

[small nacelle]

Just wanted ot check - Is the issue with radio buttons not being remembered a me problem or a system problem? whenever i close actor sheet and reopen it the radio buttons have reset. 😦

[formal goblet]

The values of your Radio Buttons have to be distinct, they cannot share the same value within a Group

[toxic lintel]

I want to create limited space for items on the character sheet - e.g. the max potions that can be equipped is 3 and the max total items allowed in the backpack is 3. Can I create specific slots for things on the sheet, and prevent multiple items being added into them? Is there a better way to achieve the effect?

[formal goblet]

You'd need to create a World Script to prevent Items from being created. There's no other way around that

[toxic lintel]

mm ok - so I could create a bunch of item containers on the sheet, and implement a world script that only allows an item to be added to a container if it is currently empty. Is that the idea?

[formal goblet]

Almost. Keep in mind, that the Actor owns the Items (not the Item Container). That's an important difference. Besides that you're correct

[toxic lintel]

if I get your meaning, the test is against the target container id on a particular actor

[formal goblet]

You test the whole item collection. Item Containers are only visual containers, you won't find actual data about them in the props (at least for now)

[elder jasper]

Yes, I do, I rewrote the code to make it a little easier by creating a new variable to reduce the number of conditions within rankNumero. But it still happens that in the final message he replaces some of the data with this random roll... It's weird

This is rewrote
Part 1:

${#acertoCritico:=potencial_maximo >= 1100 ? 52 : potencial_maximo >= 900 ? 46 : potencial_maximo >= 750 ? 38 : potencial_maximo >= 600 ? 30 : potencial_maximo >= 450 ? 22 : potencial_maximo >= 300 ? 16 : 8}$

And this is a result:
A roll of 25 is coming in the message, but the result should be 3, which came correctly in the degree variable.

[vagrant hollow]

Why you use double clamp? ${${grauAcerto}$}$
<br><strong>Grau: </strong>${${grauAcerto}$}$

[elder jasper]

this was an attempt to correct it. Apparently it didn't work either lol

[fierce harbor]

Hi there!
Any idea why when using a User Input Template in a Label Roll Message this error pops out?

Here is the template:

[formal goblet]

Foundry version?

And the full error message in the console would be helpful too

[fierce harbor]

There you go

[static spindle]

Hi Folks. I am currently trying to call a macro from a label roll, and the macro works correctly. However, each time I click the label to fire the macro on the actor sheet, I get an 'undefined' message and the roll sound to chat prior to the dialog box popping up. Any suggestions?

[fierce harbor]

Just add throw {"Done"}; at the end of the macro and it will disappear.

[formal goblet]

@brittle moth https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/blob/main/module/formulas/Formula.js?ref_type=heads#L267 I have no clue why it's undefined in this case

[fierce harbor]

Well, not a big deal. I'll do otherwise. Thank you anyway!

[brittle moth]

I have no clue just seeing the screenshot :/
Could you open an issue on Gitlab and include an export of the user input template as well as the actor template using this user input ?

[fierce harbor]

Sure.

[fierce harbor]

Issue #355 just open.
Thanks @brittle moth and @formal goblet for your continuous effort to make CSB even more awesome than it already is!

[static spindle]

So, at the end of the macro call or the macro itself?

[fierce harbor]

The macro itself.

[elder raft]

Is there a way to call/reference a displayed text from a multi-choice prompt on a roll?
I have the variable getting assigned the value as needed, but I'd love for the rollcard to show the chosen "Trait" name.
?{Trait|10,'No Trait/Scab Roll'|trait1_dicesize,trait1_name|trait2_dicesize,trait2_name|trait3_dicesize,trait3_name},
Is my prompt. I'm using _dicesize in the roll formula with ${Trait}$ just fine, but I'd love to have it say the _name of the choice on the card too.
I feel like it may be possible with 2+ more references/variable all looping back on each other, but wanted to know if anyone smarter than me had an idea?
thanks

[formal goblet]

nope 😅

[peak jacinth]

Uhh, is there any way to link items in chat so players can view them?

[brittle moth]

[north nebula]

I am still figuring out some elements to the formulas. I know it is possible to pull the first item of an array with first. Are there ways to pull second or third items from an array? (I have a work around in mind, but it is kind of messy so I wanted to check first)

Specifically, I have a situation where a dynamic table will sometimes provide an array and I am wanting to break the array out for formatting purposes.

[formal goblet]

Doable, but you'll need a bit of HTML and JS. You can basically do the same as the Item Container Component: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/blob/develop/src/module/sheets/components/ItemContainer.ts?ref_type=heads#L967

[formal goblet]

JS it is 😅

[north nebula]

It has been a minute since I messed around with JS (which clearly is what this is about). I will go digging again. Thanks. Or I might just do my inellegant brute force method. I have time to figure it out either way.

[elder raft]

Copy that, lol.

I feel like I could maybe hack it with some like "set variable to chosen name, use that variable to quantify a second "if..." formula... Though it'd be limited...
Haha, may be just getting stuck in the weeds there 😅

Thanks!
And thanks for pointing me towards the Macro calls last night. It looks waaaaay above my capacity, but perhaps a project to put in the distant goals!

[north nebula]

Thanks. I managed to find my answer. I have my three points split up nicely (the third one was to make sure I could do three and expressing my doubts about figuring this out):

[static spindle]

Finally got the data toolbox import to work. feelsgood

[dire socket]

Am I insane or is setPropertyInEntity not updating multiple values, it just picks one and doesn't do the other (or the rest). I tried the beta just now, but the issue seems to persist, the fault probably lies on me though.

[sturdy mesa]

is someone having this issue on v12 Foundry?
I can't create character tokens on maps

[vagrant hollow]

CSB ist not foundry v12 ready yet.

[sturdy mesa]

Any guesses about the release date?

[toxic lintel]

Can an item be marked as unique, so that only one actor can have it, and attempts to drag a copy of it onto the same or a different actor will fail?

[vagrant hollow]

Not possible at the moment with basic CSB.

[toxic lintel]

possibly another world script then to check all player actors for the same item

[brittle moth]

We are working on the next version, which will be v11 only, and then the v12 migration. Should not take too long, but I can't say for sure until we've started the work.
CSB being still built with big new features being added, I can't easily test the new versions out with the test release as of now... Once the main features are finished, it should be easier for me to keep up with Foundry versions 🙂

[summer turtle]

I think I might have found the answer I need, but just in case there's a simpler or better way now (since the solution I found was from 2023); is there a way to get a label to only display the highest value of any given value, in this case the highest armour rating out of a variety of potential values?

[brittle moth]

You can use the max function :

max(a, b, c, …) => returns the maximum of its arguments

You can also call it with an array, i.e. a DynamicTable :
max(fetchFromDynamicTable('tableKey', 'columnKey'))

[summer turtle]

Outstanding, thank you

[vocal sorrel]

Hello, I have a field in my Item called "Weight", and I exposed it with a label in the Item Container on the Character Sheet (red). I was wondering how would I go about combining the Weights of all the Items into a single "Total Weight" label in the character sheet(Replacing the current Number Field (blue))? I tried using the "fetchFromDynamicTable" approach, but them I realized that Item Container probably doesn't behave like a Dynamic Table...

[brittle moth]

Two solutions there :

1. You can wait for the next version, which will allow you to use data in Item Containers just like in Dynamic Tables 🙂
2. You can define a Label keyed total_weight (for example, change your keys according to your needs), with value 0 and an Item Modifier in the items (or in the item template, if it is for every item using this template) defined like this :

• Key : total_weight (the key in the actor template)
• Op. : +
• Value formula : ${weight}$ (The key in the item template)

Everytime you add this item, the Label will be updated

[vocal sorrel]

Thanks so much! Looking forward to the next update. 🤩

[vocal sorrel]

Hi again, sorry to bother so much. I managed to get the Total Weight thing to work, however when I create a new item with the same template the Modifier is not inherited. What could be causing this? (The Item Test was made after I added the modifier to the _TemplateItem, and it is not the Unique item option that is causing it, I checked. The console is not showing any errors either.)

[formal goblet]

You won't see them there, but the modifiers will be applied. But the stat, which you want to modify, has to be in a Label. You cannot use Input Components

[vocal sorrel]

Yes, the Stat itself is a Label called "totalweight". When I create a new item with the _TemplateItem, and put it into the Item Container on the character sheet, it seems to not actually modify that Label, as if the Item Modifier wasn't present. Only if I add the Modifier back on to the item within the Character Sheet will it begin to Modify it again.

[formal goblet]

Remove totalweight from Group, otherwise you need to use the Conditional Modifier List Component to enable them

[vocal sorrel]

Holy, that was exactly it, tysm!
I guess I shouldn't just put things into fields when I don't know what they do :D

[summer turtle]

I'm trying to change the colour of text on a roll based on the result, essentially In want to highlight a roll of a 10 on a d10 every time it happens for damage. I've had a look at this which seems to be how one might do it but I'm not understanding how it works. My understanding is that it's the <span> html code changing the colour but I can't see how it does it conditionally, nor does it seem to work on my end anyway. #1037072885044477962 message

The actual roll I'm trying to change (with no other edits)
<h2> Damage Roll </h2> Damage: ${!roll=[:item.weapon_damage:+:s_b:]}$

the item.weapon_damage refers to a value that's usually xd10+x, where x is the number of dice and extra set damage, respectively.

[bronze moon]

ok I could use some hand holding to make sense of all of this. I have a system I am currently in dev for and i would love to have someone show me the ropes for this system design

A good video tutorial or simple walkthrough paper would also work

[summer turtle]

There is an example system that utilises most of the features I believe: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/tree/develop/sheet-library/Example

(Which I should double check myself for my text query actually)

[sturdy mesa]

Thanks. Good work. I love your job. Anxious for v12 and the news of CSB

[brittle moth]

This release is complete feature-wise. I will take some time to try and hunt all the bugs out, as well as writing the documentation for all the technical changes it brings. But you can expect a stable release soon, I promise !

[toxic lintel]

progress on the Descent dice roller. Now I have to figure out how to allow re-rolls

[dire socket]

Hey, does this fix the issue where when you use two or more setPropertyInEntity functions in a single message it only updates one value?

[brittle moth]

Yes, this fix is on beta right now 🙂

[dire socket]

Maybe I've got something wrong, cause to test it out again with the beta just now and it doesn't seem to be working.

just threw this together to check ${setPropertyInEntity('self', 'TEA', "TEA-1")}$ ${setPropertyInEntity('self', 'EAT', "EAT+2")}$ it's only changing one number field.

[brittle moth]

Huh... I'll take a look :/

[elder raft]

I did manage to get this working,
Through a kinda janky (imo) method of just using the names as display & values, then layering additional variables and using a sequential if/then check with equalText() comparing them to define them as the relevant value.

${#traitdice:= (equalText(trait, trait1_name) ? trait1_dicesize : (equalText(trait, trait2_name) ? trait2_dicesize : (equalText(trait, trait3_name) ? trait3_dicesize : (equalText(trait, trait4_name) ? trait4_dicesize : 10))))}$```

I can then use ${trait}$ in a rollcard to display the *name* and ${traitdice}$ to pull the relevant value for anyrolls.

Again, janky, inefficienct, there's probably a more elegant way to do this. But this is functional for me wanting to display the chosen prompt displayname *and*  use the value.

Someone more eductated feel free to chime in with a "ohh yeah you can do this with one quick formula that takes 5 minutes" after poking holes in the above something that took me 3 hours to figure out! 😅

[toxic lintel]

I cannot get a rendered button for re-roll in a chat message to execute anything. does anyone have an example of a similar feature?

[earnest imp]

Damn, I was using this as a feature to stop players from having more than one type of item lol

[latent sorrel]

There are no bugs, only under appreciated features

[fierce harbor]

Oh it would be nice to have some kind of quantity-limiting capability for Item Containers 🥹

[formal goblet]

It would be tricky for Item Containers. But we could do that on the Template instead.

[fierce harbor]

That's great, thank you!
Just to better understand, you're saying that limiting the numbers of items that a container can hold would be tricky, right?

[formal goblet]

Yeah, because it's not for the Item Containers to decide which Items are transfered to the Actor. The only job they have is to display the Items an Actor has. That's it.

It wouldn't be impossible, but there are some more cases we'd have to look out.

[fierce harbor]

Ok, thanks for clarifying this.

[formal goblet]

You can even transfer Items to an Actor without a Container. You won't see them but they will be there

[fierce harbor]

Oh I see. Not a real coder here, so I'm just letting my brain run free, but could it be possible to set an item quantity limit 'by sheet' so to say?

[formal goblet]

When dropping an Item to an Actor, Foundry will send an event that an Item is about to being created. Devs can react to that and intercept the creation according to their own conditions. So the important question would be how we should decide, which Items should be created an which not. If you know how the decision should be, you basically have the program.

[fierce harbor]

Hmm, not a trivial matter.
Well, suppose for a moment that the GM wants to limit the number of items and actor can carry. Would it mean that decision could be taken based only on how many items the actor contains, if any?
Please bear with me, for I'm an old curious folk when it comes to code 😅

[formal goblet]

The event tells you, which Item is being transferred and who the target Actor is, so you have access to both Actor and Item data. So you can say: If the count of Items an Actor has is not bigger than x, create the Item.

[fierce harbor]

Ok, so going a step further could one get an item count, and subsequently limit, but item template/type/name?

[formal goblet]

Items are stored in a Collection, so you can determine the count of it.

You can access the data of an Item with game.items.getName('itemName') in the console. You can use everything what is in there.

• name is easy
• CSB has like 4 different item types (the ones you see when you try to create an Item in the directory)
• an Item stores the Template-ID

[fierce harbor]

Ok I get it. I'm sorry for not being able to properly do the code, otherwise I gladly would.
Thanks for your kindness!

[formal goblet]

Don't worry, understanding the structure is enough

[bronze moon]

is there a script list that i am missing somewhere?

[formal goblet]

Wdym? A collection of some useful Scripts? If so, check the Wiki page

[bronze moon]

is there anyone who builds these sheets on commission

[formal goblet]

The other Foundry Discord for devs has a channel for commissions. You might ask there

[brittle moth]

I found the issue, and fixed it 🙂 It will be fixed in the next beta / next release !

[dire socket]

Yay! You're the best, thank you for your amazing work!

[lethal flax]

how do you make it show dice like that?

[toxic lintel]

they're not dice - they are images associated with rolltable entries. That part is just following this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D27YsHuVgZE&t=570s

[glacial bluff]

Hey, is there a limit to the number of ${}$ formulas that can exist in a single label? I'm running into a weird error I can't really explain.

[bright berry]

Question since I can't seem to find it in here: CSB good to go in V12?

[bright berry]

Nevermind, found it

[north nebula]

My apologies for dredging this up (though the fact that I find this should hopefully show I have at least attempted some due diligence in finding the answer in this thread).

I am trying to figure out the solution to the question that Mechanized had. If you could point me in the direction of what sort of script I would need, what syntax or function is needed in the script, that it would be appreciated.

My failed effort so far was a stepwise testing of formulas, starting with the ${fetchFromDynamicTable... using one filter, which gave a result. Then I did ${string(fetchFromDynamicTable... using one filter which gave a result. Then I tried ${concat(string(fetchFromDynamicTable... using one filter, and it gave me an error.

[north nebula]

(my rationale was that if I could covert each array into a string to concat, I could try to get it back into an Array at the end)

[stone swan]

Is there a way to hide (or change) the first column of an Item Container. For example, if you have an item called "Language (Comm)" and it also has a text field called "Label", that's set to "Common", could you make an Item Container list it as just "Common", rather than having a visible column that shows "Language (Comm)".

Also, I haven't really had to deal with a Foundry version update before. I know CSB isn't currently compatible with v12, but do I need to worry about existing modules losing compatibility with v11, if they get updated?

[sturdy mesa]

Is there any way to add a button in the chat for players to click and roll tests that I have programmed?

For example, a monster has an ability with a difficulty of 18 in a Dexterity check. The idea was that, along with the ability sent to the chat, a button would also be sent for players to click and automatically perform this Dexterity check with difficulty 18.

I would like to know if this is possible, please. Thank you.

[brittle moth]

There is currently a bug when a Label contains more than 10 Formulas. This Will be fixed in the next release 🙂

[brittle moth]

You would need to use à Javascript script, delimited with %{}%
https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder#45-scripts

There is discussion to implement this within Formulas 🙂

[brittle moth]

There is no way to hide nor change this first column, as it contains the Button to open the item linked to the actor sheet :/

[brittle moth]

There should not be any issue, modules must state their minimum compatible version when releasing new version, so unless a dev is careless and states its module still supports v11 when it doesn't, modules that lose compatibility with v11 will simply not update

[stone swan]

That's really good to know. Thank you.

[stone swan]

In that case, is there a way to point another module at a specific item container. (e.g. look at [this] part of the file for languages.)

[brittle moth]

As of now, the only way to do this is by adding an HTML button in the roll message with an "onclick" attribute, and js to trigger macros or call CSB APIs
I should add à tip to the wiki on this ^^"

[brittle moth]

I don't understand your question... Is this about the polyglot module ?

[stone swan]

This is about the polyglot module.

I'd like to be able to add languages to a character sheet as items, and have it automatically detect them, without them showing up on the sheet as "Language ([the language's name])".

[brittle moth]

Then I'm afraid there is no workaround :/

Not one I know at least :/

[stone swan]

Ah well. It's a relatively minor annoyance and more than made up for by all of the other cool and helpful features you've built.

[north nebula]

Thanks. I had been looking into javascript stuff, but am still fairly new to it (or at least rusty) but I will keep poking around to see if I can figure something out.

[formal goblet]

Should be something like this:

%{
return Object.values(entity.system.props.dynamicTableKey)
      .filter(row => !row.deleted && row.columnKey == 'filter1' && row.columnKey == 'filter2')
      .map(row => row.targetColumn);
}%

[earnest imp]

Four months of non stop development later, we are finally starting our campaign in CSB

[normal ore]

Hey everyone, how's it going?

I'm trying to create a conditional function to execute this script %{linkedEntity.delete()}% only when my condition is true. However, it seems that no matter what conditions I create, it always executes this script. Is there a way to execute this script only when a CSB function ${}$ is true? Any tips?

Note: I'm using the stable version CSB 3.0.0.

[formal goblet]

I see no conditionals in there, so it will always be executed

[normal ore]

I didn't include my complete formula, I just explained that I'm putting this script inside a formula. Hold on, I'll put it in its entirety:

I've tried it like this:
${#switchCase(item.grupo, 'Consumíveis', %{linkedEntity.delete()}%, 'Munição', %{linkedEntity.delete()}%, 'Armas de Arremesso', %{linkedEntity.delete()}%, setPropertyInEntity('item','rolagens', "item.apos_danocura"))}$

Or like this:
${#or(or(equalText(item.grupo, 'Consumíveis'), equalText(item.grupo, 'Munição')), equalText(item.grupo, 'Armas de Arremesso')) ? %{linkedEntity.delete()}% : setPropertyInEntity('item','rolagens', "item.apos_danocura")}$

But neither of these worked; it always executed even if the conditions indicated it shouldn't.

Note: I tested the conditions separately to ensure they are correctly returning false or true.

[formal goblet]

I can tell you what happens. When your Label Roll Message is executed, it resolves from

${#switchCase(item.grupo, 'Consumíveis', %{linkedEntity.delete()}%, 'Munição', %{linkedEntity.delete()}%, 'Armas de Arremesso', %{linkedEntity.delete()}%, setPropertyInEntity('item','rolagens', "item.apos_danocura"))}$

to

${#switchCase(item.grupo, 'Consumíveis', undefined, 'Munição', undefined, 'Armas de Arremesso', undefined, setPropertyInEntity('item','rolagens', "item.apos_danocura"))}$

in the first iteration. The golden rule is, that the innermost Formulas are executed first. The behavior is similar to an arithmetic expression like this: 3 + (4 + 5 - (4 * 2)). First comes 4 * 2, then 4 + 5 - 8 and then 3 + 1

[late ferry]

hello kurz frage, was muss ich an der formel ändern damit der hier definierte BlockWert als Zahl erscheint nur wenn man einen Erfolg hat. Quasi Blockwurf: 5 Erfolg Blockwert: "BlockWert":
Blockwurf:

${RollErgebnis:= [1d20]}$
${#BlockWert:= Blockwerta + Intellligenzaktiv + Konstitutionaktiv + Willenskraftaktiv + Intuitionaktiv + Blockwertt + Blockwurf - RollErgebnis}$
${RollErgebnis <= Blockwurf ? 'Erfolg' : 'Fehlschlag'}$

[normal ore]

Ahhh, I think I understand now!
I'll try to rebuild my formula!

Thank you very much, this helped a lot!

[north nebula]

Just wanted to say, thank you very much! I am still waking up, but after trying this out, I can confirm this was exactly what I needed... now I am back to programming out these character sheet templates.

[glacial bluff]

Good to know. At least the bug taught me to write a more efficient formula though haha.

[summer turtle]

I'm trying to adapt this line of code:
${!Roll >= Crit ? '<br>Critical Success' : Roll <= Fumble ? '<br>Fumble' : ''}
into
${!Roll >= zealous_hatred ? '<br>Zealous Hatred!' : ''}$
So that "Zealous Hatred!" only appears when a 10 on a d10 for damage is rolled.
But I'm having problems. If I ommit the last : '' I get an error but if I include it the roll doesn't work at all, it won't even post to the chat. I'm obviously missing something but I don't know what. 😅

[sharp geyser]

Any clue as to why the condition is returning a false positive?

[summer turtle]

I've also run into another issue I have no idea how to solve. I need to implement a rule called Zealous Hatred, which as it turns out isn't just exploding d10s.
I want the roll to highlight when Zealous Hatred has been achieved, but the only way I know to do that (and it's not even working for me lol) is to have hidden component with the number you need to roll for it to reference. However, Zealous Hatred also occurs if you roll a "10" on a 1d5 roll (since IRL you'd use a d10 to make the roll), but if course if I have a component set to 5 as well, it would declare a Zealous Hatred roll on any 5 as well as 10s.

Does anyone have any idea how I might get around this? I'm genuinely pretty lost, I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a solution to be honest.

[bronze moon]

ok I am just learning. what i am i doing wrong with the following ${math.multiply(Power, Recovery)}$

im just trying to make an HP that shows maximum HP as Powerxrecovery

[sharp geyser]

Surely ${Power*Recovery}$ should work? :s

[bronze moon]

Ok let me check lol... Wouldn't surprise me if I am over complicating it. Like I said just getting started

[sharp geyser]

Meanwhile I'm struggling to get a condition to work with strings lmao.

[brittle moth]

The '=' check in the formula works for numbers only. You need to use the equalText function :equalText('smallframe', char_trait) ? 'Yes', 'No'

[brittle moth]

You could roll a d10 everytime, check for the value '10' for Zealous Hatred and then divide the result by 2 to get a '1d5' roll

${roll:=[1d10]}$
${roll == 10 ? '<br>Zealous Hatred' : ''}$
Result : ${ceil(roll / 2)}$

[formal goblet]

${#Verstecken:= RollErgebnis <= Blockwurf ? '' : '#'}$
${${!Verstecken}$'Blockwert: '}$
${${!Verstecken}$BlockWert}$

[bronze moon]

How do you round down to a whole number in a formula?

[grave ether]

Floor()

[bronze moon]

So ${Spirit/5}$ would be ${Floor(Spirit/5)}$

that doesnt work

[fierce harbor]

floor() not Floor().

[bronze moon]

omg this is going to be a learning curve lol... thank you

I will say I have stats though and it is slowly moving forward!

[grave ether]

Yeah sorry, autocorrect and driving lol

[fierce harbor]

Learning never ends 😅

[grave ether]

Also, use math.js as a resource if you didnt already know.

[bronze moon]

I'm just now getting started. I've looked at that. And it was a bit French to me. I'm a quick learner so I probably won't be hounding you guys with easy questions for long. But I'm just now getting my feet wet with JS. Thank you guys for all the help

[grave ether]

No worries dude. I was the same way when I picked up CSB. Ask away, happy to help when I see a post I can answer. If its simple, I can either point you in the right direction or assist with a solution. (feel free to dm me if you dont get an answer)

[summer turtle]

That’s a great start, thank you.

[bronze moon]

Is there a batter way to do pools? This works but is pretty simple

[grave ether]

depending on how you want it.. that works so I wouldnt vary away from it

[bronze moon]

Was just thinking like how in dndbeyond it auto populates with full hp when you long rest but i dont know if thats feasable

[grave ether]

you can set the default to whatever your max is

[fierce harbor]

Two ways: button with script in it or macro.

[formal goblet]

Check the description of setPropertyInEntity(). With that you can do something like a rest button

[bronze moon]

That sounds like something i am not ready for yet. but i like that it is possible!

@grave ether i sent a dm

[fierce harbor]

Not too complicated, something along the lines of `setPropertyInEntity('self','yourHPKey',hpMax)'

[grave ether]

going to steal this for myself lol

[sharp geyser]

Thanks so much! (though the order was equalText(trait,'<trait name>')) I lost so much time trying to figure out how to do that haha. Would it be possible to add it to the document for conditions, just so others might not have to ask? Hah.

[rain rapids]

Is there a method for turning checkboxes on and off with setpropertyinentity?

I tried 'true' and 'false' and true and false
all teh values seem to just make it checked so unsure what it is

nevermind I figured it out

I put in an empty string but I'm sure a 1 and a 0 works

I'm having a lot of fun with the custom system builder. I've been able to make a pretty responsive BattleTech: A Time of War player sheet

[formal goblet]

The 2 states are empty string and 'true' (yeah ik, a bit confusing) 😅

[rain rapids]

Is there a way to check if a dropdown is selecting the default value versus something like '0'?

[sharp geyser]

I think the command is switchCase()?

[rain rapids]

I think the finer question is if the blank default value of a dropdown is 0, the number, or an empty string, or something inbetween.

[formal goblet]

ehhhhh, I've never tested this one 😂

consoleLog(dropdownKey) it is then

[rain rapids]

I think it's a 0, it appears to be a number

Is there a way to cast numbers?

[formal goblet]

to a string? string()

[bronze moon]

ok i am looking to create a dynamic table that the players can manage. they can create a skill that starts with a d4 and spend growth points to increase the dice size up to a d12. once the skill hits d12 they can start building a specialty (one skill can have multiple specialties) that would have a bonus that grows numerically +1, +2 etc. any advice on this?

[stone swan]

How do you want it to display and how do you want them to be able to interact with it?

[formal goblet]

Something like this?

[bronze moon]

sorry i am not responding emediatly I am looking at this and trying to decode it

Wow you did some really interesting things in here... I am going to see if i can replicate some of what you have done here

[bronze moon]

I am at Barnes& Noble. Looking to get a book to help me with this project. Is JavaScript the correct language

[toxic lintel]

starting out with CSB. Is there a way to display a counter or variable on a scene and adjust it? e.g. the threat pool for a Descent scenario, or the number of turns taken thus far etc

[summer turtle]

Is it possible to have number box modifier in a list of prompts? I'm trying to have a prompt box with a list of modifiers the player can utilise when rolling. When I have the number box modifier as a seperate dialoge, like this:

?{aim:"Aiming?"|"0","No"|"10","Yes (Half Action)"|"20","Yes (Full Action)"}
)}$

${!roll:=[1d100]}$ vs ${ws_current + aim + ?{Modifier|0}}$<br>

<h2>${!roll<=ws_current + aim + Modifier ? 'Success' : 'Failure'}$</h2>```
It works, however if I combine them like this:
```${#combat_actions(
?{aim:"Aiming?"|"0","No"|"10","Yes (Half Action)"|"20","Yes (Full Action)"},
?{other:"Other Modifiers"[number]}
)}$

${!roll:=[1d100]}$ vs ${ws_current + aim + other}$<br>

<h2>${!roll<=ws_current + aim + other ? 'Success' : 'Failure'}$</h2>```
Nothing happens, nothing is posted to chat and no roll is made. Is there a way to include the "other" modifier in the first prompt or does that need to be in a seperate prompt? Also is it possible to call upon the combined prompt, rather than each part of it (combat_actions rather than aim, all out attack, brace, etc)? Thank you.

[bronze moon]

OK what am i doing wrong
${Roll 3d12 + sameRow('Spec_Bonus') + sameRow('Spec_Bonus') + sameRow('Skill_Att')}$

[quasi plume]

Dice rolls need to be within []
[3d12]

[bronze moon]

${Roll [2d12] + sameRow('Spec_Bonus') + sameRow('Skil_Dice') + sameRow('Skill_Att')}$

I am getting an error from trying to use dice from this

[quasi plume]

Is Roll a key by chance?

[bronze moon]

@quasi plume no

${Roll:=[2d12] + sameRow('Spec_Bonus')}$

What I am trying to do is give them a drop down menu with the 5 dice options I then want it to automatically add that dice to the above roll

• sameRow('Skill_Dice') doesnt work even when the dice are labeled [1d4]

[quasi plume]

Can you show me what the console says?

[eternal ice]

Hiya! I'm currently dying from attempting to display text in boxes: help would be appreciated.

The values ItemATK and ItemMAG are labels that retrieve stats from the attached character, via ${fetchFromActor('attached', "atk_base", 0)}$ and similar operations.

A rollable label within the attached character's item container with the roll message ${[:(item.AbilDamage):]}$ should retrieve the formula from the item AbilDamage field, a text field, which works fine when AbilDamage is set to a constant or roll formula (e.g. '1', '2d4+2').

I'd like to type formulas into the AbilDamage field that serve as functions of the ItemATK and ItemMAG values - for example, ItemATK or 3 * ItemMAG - in order to create a variety of items with different damage formulae and easily distribute them across characters. However, I can't seem to figure out what syntax I need to send to get anything to work.

[eternal ice]

For example, ${[:(item.AbilDamage):]}$ while AbilDamage has a value of ${ItemATK}$ returns the following error.

[sharp geyser]

Is it supposed to be ItemATK or item.ATK?

[eternal ice]

I really should use better key names. 😔 I am very obviously not a programmer.

The value of interest does, in fact, have the key name ItemATK, which I'll leave unchanged for now so as not to increase confusion further.

[sharp geyser]

Oh neither am I haha.

[eternal ice]

Were I trying to reference ItemATK from the attached actor I'd have to use item.ItemATK (💀) but luckily that's not of interest here. I'm basically just trying to—I'm not really sure what question I need to ask to get any closer to my goal—create a customizable formula, perhaps?

Say this actor has an "ATK" stat of 1d6, so that's what would be rolled were they to use this item, but I'd like to be able to drag the same item to an actor with a stat of 1d8, for example, and have that work the same way. But I'm not sure what syntax is necessary to get a formula working within the text field.

[sharp geyser]

Honestly the thing that killed me last time I had a project with CSB was dynamic tables.

What would you want this formula to do, out of curiousity?

[formal goblet]

${#concat(?{aim: ...}, string(?{other: ...}))}$

[formal goblet]

In general, yes

[eternal ice]

Just referencing or performing arithmetic operations on value retrieved from a label.

[formal goblet]

Nope, not without your own implementation of such a feature

[sharp geyser]

I found that some times it works, other times it chooses not to.

[formal goblet]

${Roll:= [2d12+:sameRow('Skill_Dice'):] + sameRow('Spec_Bonus')}$

[eternal ice]

I should hope it works consistently given the correct syntax. 😅

[formal goblet]

Use recalculate(fetchFromActor(...))

[eternal ice]

Somehow missed this in the documentation - looks like a useful function. I'll see if I can figure out how to implement it. Thanks much!

[eternal ice]

Hate to bother again, but I'm kind of syntactically inept.

The documentation provides this example:
recalculate(MyInputFieldKey) where 'MyInputFieldKey' = ${round(Strength / 2)}$ and 'Strength' = 5 => Returns: 3

The label roll message ${recalculate(item.AbilDamage)}$ now seems to work with constants, returning 11 when item.AbilDamage = ${1+10}$. I've tried to do as you've recommended, using fetchFromActor instead of this janky intermediate step I was trying to get to work to pull the actor's stats into the item. However, I can't for the life of me figure out the roll syntax.

${recalculate(item.AbilDamage)}$ where item.AbilDamage = ${[(fetchFromActor('selected', "atk_base", 0))]}$ = 1d6 returns the string ["1d6"]. I'm using 'selected' because I can't get 'attached' to work, which I'll figure out later - for now, are there any hints you could give re: getting rolls to work and where to put mathematical operators?

[formal goblet]

AbilDamage = ${atk_base}$

${DamageFormula:= recalculate(item.AbilDamage)}$
${[:DamageFormula:]}$

You can't use [] within recalculate()

[eternal ice]

Thanks so much for everything! I think I can take care of it from here.

[summer turtle]

No dice, it's still not responding.

[formal goblet]

Show me the console

[summer turtle]

Yeah was just about to post that 😄

I must have missed it, thank you

Yup, found it lol

[bronze moon]

When refrencing a dynamic table sameRow('') do you need to do something special if the callout is a drop down?

[bronze moon]

thank you this worked until i put the drop down option back. I am so confused why using a drop down breaks this

[formal goblet]

Not really. If you're only interested in the value of a Dropdown, then it's the same approach

[formal goblet]

Exchange Key with Label

[bronze moon]

ok

@formal goblet you are my hero! I am confused in the rest of the work ive done keys are like refrence names and labels are the active effect. am i missing something

[formal goblet]

These are options of a Dropdown, don't confuse them with Component keys 😅

[bronze moon]

I have been programming for about 36 hours... I am not even sure i know enough to consider myself confused with anything. lol

I keep seeing error. is there a way to see what the error is on a dice roll?

[formal goblet]

Open the console with F12

[bronze moon]

ok I think i have one more question and ill be able to repolicate this and not bother you as much. I am creating a drop down and i want to refrence Spirit_p how would i put this in the key? if i just put Spirit_p or put it in ${}$ it says it cannot turn it into a number

[formal goblet]

DropdownOptionKey: Spirit_p
Label: ref(dropdownKey)

[bronze moon]

I think i am using the wrong words

[formal goblet]

ref(sameRow('Skill_Att'))

[bronze moon]

k

it still isnt resolving spirit_p as a number just the words

never mind yes it did

You are a freeking wizard @formal goblet . Where can i learn all of this?

[formal goblet]

I mean, these functions are all in the Readme 😅 . And the CSB-Wiki is also a good spot

Rest comes with experience

[bronze moon]

Ill get them and read them. I am not trying to be difficult i am just learning and things just were not making sence. still dont in some ways. I have never programmed anything in my life. I am a firmware downloader and wordpress kind of guy lol. this is out of my comfort zone so thank you very much for your help! I will print the readme and check out the wiki

[bronze moon]

Ok i have been scouring the wiki for an answer to the following. I am looking for a drop-down list using the dynamic table function that checks a dynamic table on the player the item is equipped to. Basically allowing them to pick a skill for that weapon if they have it.

I have tried with just the key and it does not work

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/blob/bugfixes/documentation/README_BETA.md?ref_type=heads#37-drop-down-list

Use either the Dynamic Table or the Formula-option in the Dropdown. Especially read the description of the Dynamic Table Key

[bronze moon]

Thank you...

[formal goblet]

dw, I'm used in supporting 😄

[bronze moon]

Sending me the readme file is good I am trying to get the information myself so I learn it better

[elder jasper]

How can I get the image and name of the sheet?

[bronze moon]

@formal goblet So what does parent. prefix refer to in this case? Can i do parent.Skill_Table as the dynamic key where Skill Table refers to a Dynamic table on the character sheet?

I ask because there is obvoisly something more since this is not working.

[formal goblet]

name is ${name}$, image is %{return entity.img;}%

[formal goblet]

Yep

[elder jasper]

tks

[formal goblet]

%{return entity.entity.img;}%

[elder jasper]

tks 😄

[elder jasper]

And how do I get the image of an item card? 🥹 🥲

[shy sage]

Hey I'm new to using CSB (really great btw). I'm just having trouble with the tabbed pannel. I can't create a new tab in a tabbed pannel. When I press the "+", it doesn't do anything, same for the modify. I tried to do the same in an imported template, but it didn't work (only the delete tab button works). I'm on foundry V12, is it a compatibility issue ?

[formal goblet]

<img src="${!%{return entity.entity.img;}%}$">

[formal goblet]

CSB is not compatible with V12 yet

[shy sage]

damn, sadge but thanks 👍

any idea of when it will be compatible ?

[formal goblet]

[shy sage]

thx

[elder jasper]

he got the image from the card, I would like to get the image of the Item in the Container

[formal goblet]

Replace entity.entity with linkedEntity

[dark jay]

how would i add a speed modifier for drag ruler to use?

[formal goblet]

You do the calculations on your sheet. In the path-settings of Drag Ruler, you then provide the path of the final value

[dark jay]

This is the first time ive tried doing anything like this, how would i find the path?

[formal goblet]

It's actor.system.props.<yourComponentKey>

[dark jay]

thank you so much

[dark jay]

Is there a way to add the current number of a number field to itself?
Something like this? : ${ceil(<number field> + 2}$
But without it multiplying itself infinitely

[formal goblet]

And how do you want it to trigger?

[dark jay]

would it be possible for it to trigger when the number changes?

[formal goblet]

I wouldn't suggest to do that

[dark jay]

may i ask why not?

[formal goblet]

I would find it pretty weird when I enter 5, but it would change to 7 😅

[dark jay]

the +2 is triggered via a checkbox

[formal goblet]

You don't want modifiers to influence non-derived values because of several non-trivial reasons. The better option is to split the logic into 3 Components: One holding the base value, the other one holding all combined modifiers and the last one holding the total of both.

[dark jay]

I see

[formal goblet]

It's the same with Excel. You can either input a simple number or a Formula into a cell. You can't do both

[dark jay]

I return asking why an item enters every item container i have and not just 1

[formal goblet]

You can transfer Items to an Actor without a single Item Container

[dark jay]

How so?

[formal goblet]

The bag, that is holding all your Items, is the Actor itself. Maybe that explains it more clearly to you.

Item Containers are nothing more than displays

[dark jay]

I see

So how would i go about using the displays

[formal goblet]

You can set up filters, so that they don't show everything. So you have to work with that

[dark jay]

alright

[stone swan]

Is there a way to install the beta build if you're using the Forge to host your game?

Never mind, I figured it out.

[lilac sluice]

I can't drag tokens on to the scene is this a compatibility issue?

[formal goblet]

Yes, it is

[toxic lintel]

dumb question == is aformula comparator for numbers. what do I use for text or dropdowns? I am trying to hide a sheet attribute if another attribute is set to a particular dropdown value

[abstract siren]

hello everyone, does anybody know how to add stats and counters on a token? I'm talking about stuff like defense/attack modifiers, things that aren't attribute bars or status effect.

[formal goblet]

equalText()

[vagrant hollow]

Depends on the way you want them.
Status effects can be used with counters via module status-icon-counters (with some work even round/turn based ticking possible).
More bars can be done with module bar-brawl.
Just showing values – I don’t know.

[fresh arrow]

Good afternoon 🙂
I have a question and hopefully someone already went through that and has the answer 😉
We have Label where we have "component's tooltip" option to show some additional text when hovered.
I tried to apply that also into "Item Container" to show me additional information when hovered over it, but I failed to do so.
I can show description of the item as additional column via ${!item.rtxt_desc}$ with no problem, but can not pass same information through tooltip. Could that be due to "rich text" or I have done something wrong?

PS: how I can search for specific topic over here only and not whole Foundry VTT discord?

[fresh arrow]

Thank you for that... then I will be patient and await for next release. 🙂
Best Regards

[vocal sorrel]

Hello, I know I can reference the Actor's name in my formulas using ${name}$, but is it possible to reference the Label Text of a component in the same component (preferably without needing to change it manually by typing in the Key every time)?

[formal goblet]

nope

[vocal sorrel]

Shucks... oh well. I'll just do it manually. Thanks!

[potent fossil]

Is there any know way to make an item by default part of evey sheet? or do I just have to do it manually?

[grave ether]

If you setup the template to include the item it should remain part as default

[potent fossil]

Can we ? how?

[grave ether]

I was incorrect, only subtemplates can be dragged onto a template..

I am sure there is a script that can be ran at creation to assign but thats a bit deeper than I know how to program

[formal goblet]

Just create a Sheet with the Item and duplicate that

[grave ether]

Thats a good work around

[fresh arrow]

Ok, seems it tricky day today 😉
There is added item where is added dropdown menu named "group" (example: key: spirit description: Spirit).
On Char Sheet is created Item Container where for item is created label with Label text of: "${!item.group}$" which works perfectly through items but will show only key value. I tried to use switch like: "${switchCase(!item.group,"spirit","Spirit","other")}$" but that result in error.
a) is there solution to use switchCase with !item.<parameter> ? or maybe there is some obvious error I missed?
b) can I pickup "Label" instead of "Key" value of dropdown of item in container field?

[formal goblet]

Remove ! if you're using this Formula in a Label text instead of a Label Roll Message

And for the second part: Nope, the Label of the Dropdown is not reusable

[fresh arrow]

ok, I can now on create prelonged switch for that which will solve the problem, thank you 🙂

[fresh arrow]

Forgive me for yet another question 😉
Case:
there is equipable_template "weapon parameter", by which is created equipable_item named "precision".
afterwards we have equipable_template "weapon", in which we have defined "item container" with allowance for "weapon parameter", and then we have created equipable_item "dagger".
Question:
How I can add "precision" to container in "dagger" ? as when I try to open "dagger" and add there "precision" it doesnt work 😦
Backgroud:
weapons could have 0+ parameters which would impact weapon parameters which would impact character parameters at the end... ie. weapon could have precise and penetration which would impact hit roll and armour reduction during fight

[formal goblet]

You cannot have Items in Items: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/issues/198

Custom System Builder 2.4.3, Foundry 11

[formal goblet]

I think notify() came with 3.0.0, that's why the console says "Uncomputable token notify"

[boreal hull]

so I could I just get rid of notify?

Im trying to find the update where it doesnt break with the foundry version I want to use, and before it was getting weird erros with 3.0.0

[formal goblet]

Well, I could help with that if you provide the errors

[boreal hull]

yeah I messeged here before about it and your suggestion was to just update foundry but that would break some ohter modules I have so I was just trying to find the CSB update before it broke

#1037072885044477962 message

and thanks for the help

[formal goblet]

Why would it break your modules if you perform a minor version-upgrade? We're not talking about updating from V11 to V12, it's about V11.299 to V11.315. That shouldn't break modules at all

[boreal hull]

well I was worried it might because Ive heard of it doing that before

[bronze moon]

@formal goblet So i have been trying to use the parent. feature you mentioned to me the other day. can you give me a better description of this?

[boreal hull]

is there no way I could just go to the update that I was using before it broke?

[bronze moon]

when populating items

[boreal hull]

ill just deal with it if no, sorry

[brittle moth]

It should not break anything, but you should copy your Data folder beforehand. If you're on Windows, it should be located in %localappdata%\FoundryVTT\
(https://foundryvtt.com/article/user-data-backup/)

Copy it elsewhere on your system, and then perform the update. If anything goes wrong, you'll be able to go back to the previous version with this 🙂

[formal goblet]

You want to use the parent.-prefix, if you have the following case:

• You have a Dropdown in an Item
• This Dropdown needs entries from a Dynamic Table
• The Dynamic Table is located in an Actor

For this case, the Dynamic Table option key should be parent.dynamicTableKey

[bronze moon]

ok ill give it another try

[scarlet onyx]

Hi I'm trying to drag sub template to my sheet and get the follwoing error: "component.toJSON is not a function" this used to work before, any idea where to start with debugging?

[formal goblet]

Can you provide the whole error?

[bronze moon]

ok is there a way to have a roll also remove the amount of mana used?

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/#4211-setpropertyinentity

[scarlet onyx]

since it also messed with things that worked before I loaded a backup. And the sheet is fine now, if I run into this problem again I'll try to get more info on the error, Thanks!

[bronze moon]

Well i thought i figured it out but i am missing something
${Roll:= [:sameRow('Ess_Damage'):x] + #sameRow('Ess_Bon_Dam') }$
${setPropertyInEntity('self', 'Mana', "'target.mana'- sameRow('Ess_Mana')"}$

[formal goblet]

• # is only allowed at the beginning
• remove '' around target.mana

[bronze moon]

ok still doesnt work.

The dice roll works but the -Mana does not now.
${Roll:= [:sameRow('Ess_Damage'):x] + sameRow('Ess_Bon_Dam')}$
${setPropertyInEntity('self', 'Mana', "target.Mana - sameRow('Ess_Mana')"}$

I cannot find it but does the fact that this is a number field effect it?

Mana is a number field

[formal goblet]

Remove target., you don't need that prefix on self

[bronze moon]

${setPropertyInEntity('Self', 'Mana', "Mana - sameRow('Ess_Mana')"}$

still not working. I have isolated it from the damage roll.

[formal goblet]

Missing ) at the end

[bronze moon]

ok new error now thats progress.

Following this announcement : is there anyone reading this who has developed a Component for CSB ? Please DM me 🙂
The API changed a bit, I'd like to discuss with you about those changes and how to make this as painless as possible 🙂

[glacial bluff]

Question: Does setPropertyInEntity() only work with changeable fields and key values? Like, you can't use it to alter the value of a Label or hidden attribute?

I'm trying to set up a sheet where the HP readout is read-only to the players (so displayed with labels only) but still modifiable via a button press. I know I can do this with a bunch of visible-to-GM-only number fields, but the sheet is quite complicated so it's annoying to have a bunch of extra stuff cluttering it up when I'm trying to look at it. I'd much prefer to hide the dynamic HP values internally altogether, but still have them be modifiable via Roll Label Message.

[formal goblet]

Yep. Derived and non-derived values are strongly separated. So you can either have manual (Input Fields) or automatic (Labels with Formulas) stat-adjustments, not both. So the consequence would be that you'd need an Input Field somewhere.

[bronze moon]

Oh I was about to do something like this. So basically i need to create a field that is a number field that will then be added to my formula because i cannot directly effect a formula using setPropertyInEntity() on them

is that correct?

[formal goblet]

Yep

[bronze moon]

I am learning lol

[bronze moon]

ok I got something interesting... I dont know how to change this. ${setPropertyInEntity('self', 'Dam_Reduct', "Dam_Reduct - sameRow('Arm_Dam_Red')")}$

but it keeps reaplying itself indefinetly. how do i make it happen once? do i need to put an update button in for this?

[summer turtle]

Is it possible to fetch values from item containers?

I'm trying to have an armour section that only show the highest from a group of items, however so far the values just add up.

[mint basalt]

I'm curious on the viability and best way to create a pop up for players that will let them dynamically lower their initiative in the combat tracker. What suggestions do people have for going about doing something along these lines?

[formal goblet]

This should be used only in Label Roll Messages.

[formal goblet]

This will be possible with the next version. I'm actually surprised, that your Formula is even working.

[formal goblet]

You'd need your own Script for this

[bronze moon]

@formal goblet ${getRefFromDynamicTable(Weapons, (Armor_Dog), Number)}$ trying this instead... what am i missing

[formal goblet]

What are you trying?

[bronze moon]

Do i need to add dynamicTableKey : Armor_Table, and so on?

Trying to get all the numbers from a specific column in a dynamic table

getRefFromDynamicTable

[formal goblet]

That's not what getRef...() does. It will only return a path. Use fetchFrom...() instead

[bronze moon]

oh ok

ok how do i add them all together? I am looking to grab all the data from a column and add it together. I see lots of ways to filter the data but no way to add it together

I am trying to add together bonuses to avoid the roll function i asked about previously

[formal goblet]

Use the first example and wrap it with sum()

[foggy grotto]

So cs is the command on dice roller to count successes. Is there a way to make it count some numbers twice?

Example for the 2d20 system.

[bronze moon]

Yes i keep writing things and deleting them because i find additional issues.

[toxic lintel]

what formula would I use to only show a field on an item sheet if the item is on the actor's sheet? (i.e. you do not see this field if you just look at the item in the items list or a compendium)

[formal goblet]

You could use fetchFromActor() to fetch a random stat

[brittle moth]

**Beta version 3.1.0-rc7 is now available, with the following changes : **

[bronze moon]

I would like some help with css. I am looking to make all Item Containers show only the picture and be a set size. like 150x150 pixels (this is an example not actual).

[toxic lintel]

need help with a default value showing on a sheet - the Enemy's HP scale with the number of heroes, so I have a baseHP value, an increment and a heroMultiplier. ie. Default HP = baseHP + (increment*heroMultiplier).
how do I get this to calculate and show in the maxHP field? and then allow further change if in game effects add or detract from this default?

[toxic lintel]

that didn't work out. I have 2 item lists on the actor sheet - Equipped and in Backpack. If the equipped checkbox is on for an item then it's in the Equipped list, else it's in the Backpack list. However if I use fetchFromActor() - which does hide the field when it is looked at OFF an actor sheet, it appears in neither list when it is dropped onto the actor sheet

[formal goblet]

Can you present your setup?

I have no issues acomplishing this task

[toxic lintel]

not sure what you're after but this is the actor sheet and the container rule for items in the backpack

[formal goblet]

I have a guess what is going wrong... Can you create a 3rd Container with no Filters and check/uncheck the checkbox in the Item there?

[toxic lintel]

the item shows on the sheet (actually it shows now in the Backpack as well) but when I view that instance of the item I do not see the equipped checkbox

I am using fetchFromActor(maxHealth) (which will always have a non zero value)

[formal goblet]

So fetchFromActor('attached', "maxHealth", false)?

[toxic lintel]

with the above the field has reappeared on the unattached item's instance

maxHealth is defined as a number field

[formal goblet]

huh, weird

[copper glade]

Guys I'm trying to do a pretty simple thing, but am lost as to how.
I have a script macro in the hotbar, and all I want to do is grab a value from an actor sheet (CSB), but what I've been trying to use doesn't work;

aValue = token.actor.system.num_attack.value

what's the correct path for actor-sheet values in CSB? Or is there an API function I need to call?

[formal goblet]

actor.system.props.key (if you already have the actor context)

[copper glade]

so it'd be something like token.actor.system.props.keyName?

[formal goblet]

yup

[copper glade]

saved me such a headache, thank you

[toxic lintel]

I tried every combination of single double and no quotes just for kicks but if I succeed in hiding the field, it's still not reappearing when I open the attached item. Not to worry - this is gonna be the least clean and neat implementation ever anyway 🙂

[vocal sorrel]

Hello again,
Is there any way to make a Radio button Group that change between different items? I.e. have an Active Item Radio Button on each Item and only one Item can be Active at a time?
If its not possible with Radio buttons, could you possibly suggest any other methods I could employ for this?

[formal goblet]

Nope, this is limited to sheet-level. The only option I can think of is having a WorldScript, which listens to update-events and intercepts the update if the diff + current state contains more than 1 selection.

[vocal sorrel]

Oh damn, I guess its way more complicated than I first assumed. I'll take a look into this. Thanks nonetheless!

[formal goblet]

Yeah, it's not that trivial

[dire socket]

Hey so, I don't know why but in the beta my switchcase samerow functions for my dynamic tables just, aren't working as they used to. It just defaults to the fallback value. Any ideas on a fix for this?

[formal goblet]

Maybe the types are different? switchCase() does a strict matching in the background

[dire socket]

I mean I guess Int_Type is fetching from a different dynamic table that has numbered keys, does that just, not work anymore?

[silver hazel]

After update core foundry, i cant put tokens on the map. Anyone can help?

[formal goblet]

I mean types like string, number, boolean, etc... Each value has a type. And if the types don't match (e.g. 4 and '4'), they won't be treated as equal by switchCase(). Try to quote your numbers in the function to check, if my assumption is correct or not.

[formal goblet]

CSB is not compatible with V12

[silver hazel]

thanks.

[dire socket]

Hm, nothing, still not working.

${switchCase(sameRow('Int_Type'), '1', 'Str', '2', 'Agi', '3', 'Vig', '4', 'Con', '5', 'Min', '6', 'Itu', '7', 'Exp', 0)}$ Like this right?

[formal goblet]

Yeah, should be fine. Does the console say anything?

[dire socket]

Nothing, just creating the chat message.

[formal goblet]

I get the desired result without the quotes around numbers

[dire socket]

Hm, maybe the table itself has some other issue then

[formal goblet]

Try out game.actors.getName('actorName').system.props in the console and check the table data in it

[dire socket]

because any instance where I use SwitchCase(sameRow('Key'), and so on it seems to return nothing or the fallback.

[dire socket]

Got it

I'm probably doing something wrong here, put the actor's name in well, actorName

Let me see if I can replicate and isolate this issue, cause theres a lot going on around it.

[formal goblet]

It should find the actor if the name is correct 😅

[dire socket]

Oh I capitalized it on accident

Okay it worked with no real errors or issues popping up as far as I can tell

[bronze moon]

Any CSS wizards on here?

Ok i am having a problem that seems to go against everything i have done so far. why does ${'Dam_Reduct'}$ return the words and not the numbers from Dam_Reduct?

[dire socket]

I'm pretty sure you gotta just do ${Dam_Reduct}$

[formal goblet]

'Dam_Reduct' is a text, not a variable

[dire socket]

To return the value cause otherwise, the quotes will just treat it as text

oop

[bronze moon]

is there somewhere that shows the the uses of all the :'"{[ and so on? I know the syntax (buzz word) changes between applications but argh

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Guides/Formula-System

[bronze moon]

Yes that is what i need thank you

ok that fixed half the issues with this. but i am getting a
Error: Uncomputable token Raw_Dam

${setPropertyInEntity('self', 'Health', Health - (ceil((Raw_Dam* ((100- Dam_RedP)/100)) - Dam_Red)))}$

[formal goblet]

Raw_Dam is not defined then. Check that your keys are correct

[bronze moon]

ok it is working now. but i now need to make it so that nothing happens if the number is a possotive number.

basically negating more damage than you recieve should not heal you lol

[formal goblet]

You can use min() or max() to cap your numbers

[bronze moon]

ahh ok. from the way i read the entry it seemed like it would output the max number. so i would do (max(0, (ceil.... ?

[formal goblet]

yep

[bronze moon]

Well that was allot easier than i thought. Thank you!

[woeful skiff]

In a label component in an item container is it possible do reference the output of the Label text in the Label roll message?

[formal goblet]

Will be doable with the next version

[woeful skiff]

No problem. I should have asked earlier and saved my sanity.

[silver hazel]

Hey, whats the most updated core version of foundry compatible with CSB?

[formal goblet]

11

[silver hazel]

the last 11 is ok?

[formal goblet]

yep

[silver hazel]

thnx

[toxic lintel]

hoping for a reply to this one: need help with a default value showing on a sheet - the Enemy's HP scale with the number of heroes, so I have a baseHP value, an increment and a heroMultiplier. ie. Default HP = baseHP + (increment*heroMultiplier).
how do I get this to calculate and show in the maxHealth field? and then allow further change if in game effects add or detract from this default?

[stone swan]

I have something similar going on and I handled it by just putting equations that reference the relevant variables in an appropriate fields. I handled miscellaneous additions by also referencing a number field I can edit.

[formal goblet]

The sheet only detects changes in the sheet itself. Changes, that are triggered on the canvas, will not update your sheet. That is something, that you have to handle for yourself.

The increment can be a Label with a Script, that fetches the correct number. The rest is just a Formula in the max-field of your Number Field

[stone swan]

Ah, side note, it would be nice if we could set it so max HP is determined programmatically, so everything is automatic and you get bars, but still allow the current value to go above max.

[formal goblet]

The max-value can already be a Formula instead of a static value

[stone swan]

Right, but doing that prevents going above the max, right?

[formal goblet]

Yep, that is what it is for

[stone swan]

That's the problem. I'd like to have a max value, both because that's the normal full value and because you need one for a bar, but sometimes you also want to be able to go over cap mid battle.

For example, a character's max HP might be 64, but a healing effect might be able to temporarily push them past that, if it would heal more than their missing HP.

[formal goblet]

I would see this as a temporary increase of the max-hp then

[stone swan]

That would require editing the character sheet (and then undoing the edit later) and it would increase the size of the bar, right?

[toxic lintel]

all the fields described are on the same sheet. I think I am simply not formatting the formula properly. Programming skill=0 here

[formal goblet]

It would technically fall into the responsability of Active Effects, which would modify the max-hp.

The Bar-size (if we're talking about current / max and not the actual width) would increase in the max accordingly

[stone swan]

I don't make much use of the active effects; normally I just modify HP by manually entering it into the field on the token. I also wouldn't want the bar to increase for temp HP. ( I am referring to the current max not the width.)

[formal goblet]

I see. Then it's just a Formula in the max-field of your Number Field with ${baseHP + increment * heroMultiplier}$

[toxic lintel]

Any scenario in my game where the Max HP goes up could def be handled by an active effect defined on an item card added to the sheet

[toxic lintel]

great scott! it actually obeys order of operations without having to use brackets?? #faithInHumanityRestored

[formal goblet]

Then it would be something similar to a Shield to be honest. But what I can definetly say is that your case is not handled by CSB by default

[formal goblet]

Yeah, even programming languages have precedence 😅

[stone swan]

Yup, I know. That's why I said it would be nice if we could set number fields to not treat the max as a hard limit if it's set by a formula. (I know the bars don't default to treating it as a hard limit and I thought CSB didn't either, if you manually enter the max, at least as far as the tokens/bars are concerned. It would still be the normal max in the sheet.)

[formal goblet]

Wait, Token Bars can go over max?

[stone swan]

Pretty sure, yes.

Unfortunately, I'm away from my computer right now, so I can't double check. Also, I'm talking about manually set bars, not bars set by CBS, with a formula based max.

[formal goblet]

Yeah I know, CSB doesn't allow it from itself.

You can open a ticket if you wish for it. Or create a Custom Component with your own rules.

[toxic lintel]

here's my setup to implement that calculation - but it is not calculating. all the calculation components are set with min value and default value 1

[formal goblet]

If your max-hp is calculated automatically, then the Component holding the max-value should be a Label (or you directly use the calculations inside the max-field of the currentHP-NumberField)

[toxic lintel]

awesome! thankyou

[elder raft]

This is probably an easy question that I could figure out with a bit of testing, but I figured I'd ask the pros here.

Is it possible to have items inside items that can modify variables by using nested item containers? Like socketing a rune or gem into a sword that adds damage or roll modifiers or stuff.

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/issues/198

[elder raft]

Fair enough! But hey, still being worked on? I'll take it.

[vale remnant]

Hey, I'm having an incredibly general, but also incredibly frustrating problem.

For some reason, I can't reference other Keys outside of labels on a template. Trying to set up a proficiency bonus on my sheet templates and it's just not working.

General math works, and when used in a label it works. But I can't reference labels or keys. Tried a number of equations and smoke's coming from my ears. So, stumped.

Pictures attached for reference

[formal goblet]

The default value of Input Components is only relevant at creation time (when initializing a value), it won't auto-update ever again.

[vale remnant]

Oh. Thank you.

...How do I make it do what I want it to do (refer other cells, and totals. Think, Excel sum(1,2) becomes 3 in cell a1, and I can make a =a1 on zzz3 and it'll also be 3)

My brain is mush because I dumb

[formal goblet]

A cell can either contain a Formula or a simple input. Having both is impossible. That's the same with Labels and Input Components.

[dark jay]

How do i add an items key to another key in the character sheet

[stone swan]

What are you looking to do with that?

[dark jay]

i want to add an item(s) that gives +2 to a stat

[stone swan]

Ok. I might be misunderstanding something then. Why are you doing that via the keys? Also, could you use item modifiers for that?

(Item modifiers let you do things like have an Item change the value of a lable on the attached character sheet.)

[toxic lintel]

another dumb q from me: how do I apply rounding to a calculated result so that .5 rounds down?

[stone swan]

Unrelated, but I may have done something incorrectly. I want to try the beta, but I'm using Forge for hosting and I didn't see a way to access the world.json file, so I just created a new world and used CSB's import/export function to transfer over the templates and used manual import/exports to transfer over the characters and items, but now I'm getting some weird errors. I'm assuming that's because of the hackjob transfer I did, so is there a better way to handle it and/or to access the appropriate files on Forge?

[stone swan]

floor([the-stuff-you-want-to-round])

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Guides/Formula-System#314-functions

[sharp geyser]

You can use (equalText(<Component Key>,'<value of component>')?<true>:<false>) Parenthesis isn't neccessary, unless you're planning on having values be added or subtracted from your function, etc. Because otherwise the modifiers will only apply if it's false.

For example equalText(Type_Cheese,'Brie')?1:0*Flavour_Cheese so even if Brie was the type_cheese, it would only return '1' as the value, because when it isn't Brie, it will then multiply it by flavour_cheese

[toxic lintel]

does that work for dropdown values as well?

[sharp geyser]

Depending on the number of dropdown options, you can use switchCase(<component key>,'<dropdown key>'), or caseSwitch (I forget which one) it does have the advantage of being "cleaner" depending on the sort of shenanigans you're using it for.

For example switchCase(Cheese_Type,'Brie',5,'Cheddar',2) if memory serves you can have as many pairs of 2 as you like, instead of equalText() which would require you to do a number of conditions and it would become incredibly messy as a result.

[toxic lintel]

in my sheet I have a source. if the source dropdown value is the 'Shop' entry, I want to show a price field, otherwise hide it

[stone swan]

That sounds like you'd want to use the Visibility Formula field on whatever you want to hide. I think equalText() should work for that. Alternatively, you could set the keys for the dropdown to numbers and do it that way, since they don't have to be unique or match the displayed text.

[sharp geyser]

Yeah I'm at a complete loss man. As far as I'm aware there's no function for a String/Text not being something, unless you use switchCase()?

[stone swan]

Can you not just do something like not(equalText('shop', theSource))

[sharp geyser]

I honestly don't know. Not a programmer, I could try it test,

Doesn't seem so.

[stone swan]

Ah. So not() negates a boolean (i.e. turns true to false), so you should be able to use equalText() to see if the dropdown has the right value and ... actually, they shouldn't need to negate it, because they want it to show when it resolves to true. However, if they wanted it to show for every case except for one, they could then check for that case and reverse the value produced by equalText().

[toxic lintel]

thankyou gents, equalText() worked. placed in the visibility formula the fields only display when value is Shop

[dark jay]

Would it be possible for an example?

[sharp geyser]

Sidenote: equalText(race,'mutant')!=1 checks if race='mutant' and if it isn't, marks it as true

I refuse to get stumped by something which is supposed to be a simple "not" function

[stone swan]

Sure. Let's say you have a stat called Strength, that's being stored as a Label or Hidden Attribute (I think it works for hidden attributes), and you'd like an item to increase it's value by +2, regardless of what the value currently is. When setting up the item's template, you'd go to Configure Item Modifiers and set one up with the Key field point to the key of the Label you want to modify and the formula pointing to an appropriate field on the template. Then once you create and set up the item, when put on a character it'll increase their Strength by 2.

Sorry, minor correction, you can do it at the Template level, but you can also just click the Configure Item Modifiers button on the item itself and, rather than point the formula to a field on the item, just enter a 2.

[toxic lintel]

the equalText() when used for the dropdown needs to test the value key in single quotes, not the displayed text value

[stone swan]

not() works if you don't want to, or can't, set it equal to 1. If you're just negating a boolean it can be more convenient.

[sharp geyser]

idk why it didn't work for me then lol

[stone swan]

That seems to be working correctly? Or are you saying the not() version didn't work, but the !=1 does?

[toxic lintel]

everything works fine - I was simply using the text value of the dropdown entry instead of the key value. my bad

[sharp geyser]

Yeah. I tried not() with the stuff in the middle. Might just be because I'm on V12 I guess? lol.

[stone swan]

I thought CSB wasn't fully compatible with v12?

[sharp geyser]

It isn't :(

Unfortunately thought I'd need to update as I was expecting one of the two PF groups I DM for to get their shit in order, but uh... Not so much. Regrettably, I had also forgotten about the prospect of CSB not being up-to-date

[vale remnant]

Thanks. I'll figure out a workaround instead of doing what I have been doing (banging my head against this expecting it to work)

[dark jay]

what am i doing wrong here

ive also used ${CF_StaminPointsMax}$ ${:CF_StaminPointsMax:}$ ${:CF_StaminPointsMax*1:}$

CF_StaminPointsMax is a number field

[dark jay]

Figureed it out

[calm dock]

hey question got my charecter sheet done for my system do i need any speial modules or items to bring in custom sounds,tokens and maps

[toxic lintel]

can the alwaysHP mod be used with CSB?

[vale remnant]

What did you do?

[dark jay]

Apparently you can't take information out of number fields, it has to be a label into another label. Also it doesn't look like hidden attributes work, but that could just be me not understanding it yet.

[dark jay]

I am currently attempting to make a class table that will automatically add the stats on level up to a pc. However not being able to use number fields is currently making this very difficult, Unless I make a template for each and every class

I found a workaround : Numberfield -> Label -> Character Sheet

[toxic lintel]

in my game I have various items that can have effects on a hero's speed, fatigue, HP. the usual. They can also give active effects that either correspond to standard ones or are custom for the game.
I only want these effects to apply if the item is not only on the actor's sheet but is 'equipped', which is a checkbox state on the item itself (otherwise it is in the hero's backpack and does nothing).
if two different items provide an effect, can I specify that effect on the item itself (do THIS to the actor) or do I check it from the actor (if you have one of these then THIS happens).
and since I am completely rubbish at doing this stuff, I do not know how to specify either of these conditions/formulas - though I at least know where they go.

[swift wolf]

I'm trying to set the initiative formula and I'm sure I'm missing something super simple. 😅

This is what I'm using, and it returns it as 0 dice rolled.

[:Attribute_init:d2cs>1]

[fierce harbor]

The result should be the number of successes, not rolled dice. Try cs>0, what do you get?

[copper glade]

I'm sure I'm missing something, but when I drag an item into an item container, it acts like all the containers are a single instance (they have different keys, obviously). You guys know what I'm doing wrong?

[toxic lintel]

the item containers are just displays, all the items are on the actor. so if you have no filters, they display in all containers.
you can filter simply by using different templates, or more explicitly by adding filter conditions to the item container

[copper glade]

Right. Well that's out the window then I guess. Cheers.

[toxic lintel]

you could for instance add a dropdown list to the item template where you can select WHERE you equip it, and then use filters on your item lists to look for that value

[copper glade]

I see

[swift wolf]

It's definitely not rolling any dice. I did try that though. Didn't do anything.

I thought for a moment that maybe it had something to do with it being a label and not a number field so I tried it with a different attribute, but that did the same thing.

[formal goblet]

Try out game.actors.getName('actorName').system.props.Attribute_init in the console

[swift wolf]

that gives me the correct number

[formal goblet]

What about only Attribute_init in the Formula?

[formal goblet]

Which Foundry and CSB-version?

[swift wolf]

oh crap. have I forgotten to update things? 😅 one sec

[formal goblet]

I hope not to V12

[swift wolf]

I'm in version 11 build 315 of foundry

[formal goblet]

That's fine

[swift wolf]

CSB is version 3

[formal goblet]

That's also fine...

Is your Token linked to an Actor, or does it have an own sheet per Token?

[swift wolf]

omg.

I am an idiot.

the token got linked to the wrong sheet somehow

<facepalm>

I will now hide my face in shame

😅

[dark jay]

Is the item filter not working?

[dark jay]

If im understanding correctly, I was able to do what you want to do

[copper glade]

I hadn't realised it was just a single container. I got something working with it, not exactly what i was going for but close enough.

[sharp geyser]

You need to use the filters to ensure that the containers work properly, have a hidden label or drop down menu on the item which defines the type of item it is and use the filter on that label/drop down menu

[toxic lintel]

can anyone show me a working example of an active effect sourced from an item?

[dark jay]

How would i go about it?

[toxic lintel]

If you're responding to my question, I'd like to see the config changes/formulas that affect an attribute of the actor the item is placed on, so that the effect is removed when the item is removed as well

[dark jay]

I did a workaround that is honestly very bootleg

but it works

The simplist way i can explain it without a video is this :

Item modifies a label on the character sheet, then the character sheet label is added towards the number i actually wish changed

Sorry i cant do better than that, i just recently learned how to use this system

Make sure both sides are labels

unless of course im wrong and made things infinitely more complicated than it has to be

[toxic lintel]

thanks. that worked. now I have to figure out how to ONLY apply the effect if the item is equipped

[dark jay]

Checkbox?

[bronze moon]

Good morning fine folks

[dark jay]

${Checkbox == 1 ? Item Values : 0}$

[bronze moon]

I actually have a check box question

[dark jay]

GMorning

[bronze moon]

I am trying to make a dynamic field show up or hide depending on a check box

Visibility formula are i put sameRow(checkbox_key)

what am i missing

[dark jay]

Anything I want to hide I place in a table/Tabbed Panel then use :
Checkbox == 1

[bronze moon]

I am working in a dynamic table and Skil_Spec is my checkbox key

[toxic lintel]

woohoo! ${heroEquipped ? 2:0}$

[dark jay]

Eyyyyyy

In the visibility formula : Skil_Spec == 1

That shouuuuld work

[bronze moon]

sameRow(Skil_Spec)==1 also doesnt work

[dark jay]

sameRow?

[bronze moon]

yes since i am in a dynamic table

[toxic lintel]

in my game, some items can be exhausted for their effect. I have a setup panel only the gm can see, and in it I can set a checkbox for the exhaustible attribute. this in turn controls the visibility of the exhausted checkbox - which is one the players use. that visibility formula is simply --> exhaustible==true <-- Note that true/false must be lower case

[bronze moon]

I am trying that

[dark jay]

Yea, I can't help since I've never used dynamic tables and don't quite know exactly what you are trying to do

I would personally set a checkbox that hides/reveals a panel. But maybe I'm getting your goal wrong

A question of my own

how do i copy my world and transfer my templates

nevermind

[bronze moon]

I am trying to hide a column in a dynamic table when a checkbox is checked in a specific row

[dark jay]

So would a checkbox next/above a panel not work?

[bronze moon]

Why if ${sameRow('Skil_Spec')}$ in a label literally returns true. Does sameRow('Skil_Spec')==true not work in a visability formula

[formal goblet]

You don't need to check for == true. And also, true is not the same as 'true'

[bronze moon]

So I had tried sameRow(Skil_Spec)

[bronze moon]

@formal goblet What am i missing. I have re-read the help file and your post. I am trying to make Certain feilds visible or invisible based on a check box (Skil_spec). I have tried every change i could think of. What should be in the visability formula?

[formal goblet]

Ah wait, I remember there was a bugfix because of sameRow() in the visibility-formula 😅

[bronze moon]

so is it possible?

[formal goblet]

With 3.1.0, yeah. Earlier versions, nope

[bronze moon]

so i need to update ok

[formal goblet]

3.1.0 is beta-only currently.

[bronze moon]

when will that be avaliable in forge?

[formal goblet]

The beta is already available and can be downloaded with the manifest-link. The stable-release is planned for next week

[minor tiger]

Is 3.1.0 going to be v12 compatible?

[formal goblet]

No, 3.1.0 is there to finish up V11. Once there, we'll work on 4.0.0, which has the target to be compatible with V12

[minor tiger]

Rip, understandable

[elder jasper]

Is there a possibility of integrating JB2A effects with CSB?

[formal goblet]

I think you can, but that would require heavy work on your side. You'd have to use Scripts ofc

[elder jasper]

uhh 🥹 tks kkk

[bronze moon]

Well i updated to the beta and it works like a charm

[sturdy mesa]

Is it working to place tokens on maps?

[bronze moon]

Well If you meen just dragging characters I can test. If you have code you want me to test I can try

[sturdy mesa]

Yes, dragging characters to maps, creating tokens by dragging them

[toxic lintel]

in my game I have lingering effects that allow multiple instances of the same thing e.g. each bleed token is nasty. it would be nice if the token for that actor reflected the bleeding status as an active effect because of the existence of any bleed item on the actor, and lost it when no bleed items remain. Any clues on how to make that happen?

[copper glade]

can you drag/drop items between containers on different actors?

or rather, is there a simple way to enable it?

[formal goblet]

You can drag the item-image (not name)

[copper glade]

Ahhh. I'm learning so much lol

[formal goblet]

Ehhhh... nope 😅

[copper glade]

thanks

[bronze moon]

When Ref a drop down is it possible to refrence the name field?

[formal goblet]

You mean the Label of a Dropdown-option? Nope

[bronze moon]

@formal goblet I am looking for a way to make items appear as just an image and then the player can open them and see the details

[stone swan]

I might have missed it, but I don't think I've seen the version switch helper explained. Is there anything I should know about it?

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Guides/Switch-to-Beta

[stone swan]

Those are instructions for how to change over to the beta (which shouldn't be relevant any more), right? I was asking about the version switch helper that was 3.1.0 release notes.

Added version switch helper
Unless I'm missing something, that doesn't seem to be mentioned on the linked page (or, at least, I didn't see it and ctrl+f doesn't turn up any instances of the word 'help' in the text).

[formal goblet]

Those are general instructions on how to switch versions. The switch helper will show itself in case you've edited the system in the world.json

[stone swan]

Got it. So if you just do a normal update, now that it's out of beta, it shouldn't show up and shouldn't be relevant?

[formal goblet]

Yep

[stone swan]

Thank you.

Under module compatibility, Combat Utility Belt is listed as breaking things badly, but Condition Lab isn't listed at all. Normally, I'd take that to mean "Condition lab may or may not work, so try it at your own risk", but since it's a fork of CUB, I figured I should double check. Does anyone know if Condition Lab works with CSB (either just for managing the statuses list or for its effect functionality) and does it risk breaking things in a similar way to CUB?

[formal goblet]

I don't know, but you can create a test-world and check that for yourself

[stone swan]

Fair enough. I don't actually have much experience with active effects, so I'm not sure how best to test it. Would you be able to recommend a quick test or something I could try to see if it causes issues?

[formal goblet]

You need an Actor which you want to test. As soon as you have that, you can try to add an Effect to the default-config (Effects, which can be selected from a Token). When you're done, try to apply the Effect and see, if you get any errors in the console.

[stone swan]

Does the effect need to actually do something to the character or is simply adding the icon enough?

[formal goblet]

I think Icon is enough

[upper olive]

Before the update, I could drag items from a compendium to an actor. Now, I have to import the item first before dragging it on an actor. Is that intentional?

[stone swan]

Well, it doesn't seem to be causing any errors, even if I use it for actual effects, though I don't have a good handle on those. So far, it seems like Condition Lab effects can work on things that CSB effects normally can't (i.e. Number Fields), but can't work on things that it they can (i.e. labels). With that said, when I tried to use it to modify HP, I had to use the system.props version, rather than the attributeBar version, and it ended up continuously subtracting the HP value, rather than only doing it once or doing it once per round. I'm not sure if that's due to how it's interacting with CSB or simple user error, but it's honestly more than I expected from it, either way.

[stone swan]

Can you not put an item container in a subtemplate?

[upper olive]

I created the items (based on item templates) for my game, put them in a compendium, and until the update, I could drag-and-drop items from the compendium directly on the character sheet. Now, I have to import them first. I am not talking about templates. I am talking about the game-ready items.

The item container is present on the sheet. Dragging items from the items directory on to the sheet works perfectly.

[bronze moon]

${setPropertyInEntity('self', sameRow('Mon_Health'), "sameRow('Mon_Health') - sameRow('Mon_Damage')")}$ Remaining Health

Ok this set of code works however it doesnt update Mon_Health with the updated number. What am i missing

it does output to chat the number though

[stone swan]

~~What type of component is mon_health?~~Never mind.

[bronze moon]

number field

@stone swan I just want to say i know the feeling. I truly hope no one has seen some of the rediculous things i have posted and deleted. I am learning and sometimes i ask a question and 2 minutes later I find the answer like damnit how did i not catch that caps lock or whatever

[formal goblet]

Resolve sameRow('Mon_Health') and take a look at it again. If you do that, you'll probably spot the issue you have

[formal goblet]

I don't think so

[formal goblet]

Can you create a ticket for that? We didn't consider this case at all to be fair

[stone swan]

Are you supposed to be able to add item containers to subTemplates, because I didn't see them in the component type drop down, but I was able to drag one on to a subTemplate.

[formal goblet]

Well, the Container itself is not really an issue. It's just that we deactivated it for Items, because Items cannot have other Items inside them.

[stone swan]

Ah. It's deactivated for the entire category, not just items and item templates specifically?

[formal goblet]

Can't say for sure, but I think yes

[bronze moon]

@formal goblet ok I have been messing with it and i dont see the issue

[formal goblet]

Take a look at this one: ${setPropertyInEntity('self', 50, 30)}$. Can you explain to me, what this function would do?

[bronze moon]

It would set the nothing because the 50 is not an identifier. but it wont take sameRow(Mon_Health)

I tried that

${setPropertyInEntity('self', sameRow(Mon_Health), "sameRow('Mon_Health') - sameRow('Mon_Damage')")}$ Remaining Health

Error: Uncomputable token "Mon_Health"

I thought of that

[formal goblet]

If you write it that way, the parser will think that Mon_Health is a variable

But there's no system.props.Mon_Health in your sheet. That's why it fails

[bronze moon]

So is it possible?

I am trying to make a sheet for monitoring the health of 10-20+ monsters

[formal goblet]

It's possible, yeah. But I'm trying to help you find and understand the issue you have. That's why I'm challenging your analytical skills instead of giving you a solution.

[bronze moon]

I know and i appreciate you for it

I dont understant the part about system.props.Mon_Health

[formal goblet]

You're correct with that. You need a valid key or a path, but sameRow() only returns the value of the field, which is a number. So it doesn't fit what we actually need. Buuuut... are there maybe other functions?

[bronze moon]

oh ok ill go read

[formal goblet]

The full path in your Actor, when you're trying to access the variables you've created, is always system.props.yourKey.

You can check that by executing game.actors.getName('actorName') in the console and inspecting the data of the result.

[bronze moon]

I think i found it setPropertyInEntity('self', sameRowRef('Charges'), "sameRow('MaxCharges')")

BOOM! yes that worked. Thank you!!!! I appreciate your way of teaching even if it doesnt always sound like it

[crimson aspen]

So im having an issue with conditions/switchcase and variable calculation.
At the start of my script i set a variable success:=0.
Then in a switchCase i try to check a variable "roll1" which contains a roll of 1d10 for its value.
on 1,2 it should be subtracted by 1
on a 3,4,5,6,7 it should be added by 0.5
and on 8,9,10 it should be added by 1

i always get 3.5, which is exactly when i execute all this stuff in order. Here is also the code:
${#switchCase(roll1, 1, ${success:=success-1}$, 2, ${success:=success-1}$, '')}$${#switchCase(roll1, 3, ${success:=success+0.5}$, 4, ${success:=success+0.5}$, 5, ${success:=success+0.5}$, 6, ${success:=success+0.5}$, 7, ${success:=success+0.5}$, '')}$${#switchCase(roll1, 8, ${success:=success+1}$, 9, ${success:=success+1}$, 10, ${success:=success+1}$, '')}$

Thanks for any help!

Try to not nest Formulas and you'll be good to go. Your issue is that the first thing executed is not the switchCase(), but everything else.

${3 + ${2 + ${1}$}$}$ in this example, the order of execution goes from 1 to 3

@formal goblet I hate to do this, but do you remember when you helped me put together a macro for a Label, in a Dynamic Table, so it could take the contents of a Rich Text Field and parse them into a proper roll message, rather than doing something like passing ${[1d20]}$ to the chat directly? With the new update, I'd like to rework it to function in an Item Container, which seems like it shouldn't be too hard, thanks to the changes to sameRowRef.

Unfortunately I'm getting an error that says:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')```
I've tried to track it down myself, but for some reason clicking on the source links in the console doesn't actually take me to the source (it produces its own error), so I've been having a hard time even narrowing down what part of the old macro is causing issues.

Would you be willing to help with either problem?

[stone swan]

Never mind. I've managed to figure it out (the issues with the macro, still not sure about the console). Sorry for bothering you.

[stone swan]

Ok. I have it working, but it's messy and I feel like I'm missing something obvious with how %{}% and {${}$ interact. Currently, I'm using foundry.utils.getProperty() to get the value of the Rich Text field, but just ${item.key}$ seems like it should work. At the very least, it seems to retrieve the same information as getProperty(), but if the text has more than one line it breaks the java. I'm pretty sure this is because it's not turning into a string properly, so it's just dumping a bunch of HTML into the TS, which predictably breaks things. The issue is, neither a set of external quotes nor the string() function worked and I don't know why.

What am I missing?

I want a button on an actor's sheet to execute a macro. How do I do that?

[upper olive]

I've raised ticket #362 for that issue. Probably best to go back to the previous version, till this is fixed? Having items in compendiums is pretty central to my setup.

hello, kp ob das ein Bug ist aber wenn man bei Journalen ne Tabelle macht sehen die im Bearbeitungsfeld leider nicht so aus wie bei der Darstellung was dazu führt das einige Wörter Verschmelzen

[sturdy mesa]

Yes!! Now it's just the v12 compatibility ❤️

[crimson aspen]

Ahh, now I get that, great help - thanks! Is there another way to condition the counting of the variable, or more in general formulas I am unaware of? ^^

[late ferry]

Is it possible to Edit the Statusbar ?

[stone swan]

What exactly are you looking to accomplish?

[late ferry]

would like to delete half of them and add some with my own token and text

[formal goblet]

Module: Core Settings Expanded

[stone swan]

That or Conditions Lab.

[late ferry]

thanks!

[stone swan]

The former is a bit simpler, but the later can let you export your custom conditions.

[late ferry]

warscheinlich das oder?

When trying to upload the css file through CSB (uploaded to asset library already) I dont see it as an option? it is in the asset library but it does not appear as an option. do i just need to copy the path from the asset library or am i doing something wrong

[formal goblet]

The File Picker won't show the file, so you have to manually insert the path

[bronze moon]

Ok thank you!

[late ferry]

I tried out Core Settings & Conditions Lab but it seems that both cant delete or Edit the existing conditions. Any Idea?

[formal goblet]

You need ${!item.key}$ to get rid of the HTML

[formal goblet]

Core Settings should be able to

[bronze moon]

@formal goblet do you have a css file that works so i can see it as an example? I dont need it to work for my system or anything just an example

[formal goblet]

.red {
  color: red;
}

[bronze moon]

have just that and it would work? doesnt need <style> just the pieces i want? cause i tried h1 { color: red; } and it didnt change anything

[late ferry]

I can just Add new ones with core settings but cant select and delete specific one. even the one i created.

[formal goblet]

I think it was Select -> Clear Custom Fields -> Modify Custom

[formal goblet]

My example creates a custom css-class, which should be entered in the Component Config

[late ferry]

na it creats new ones then

[bronze moon]

correct?

[formal goblet]

Without the dot

[bronze moon]

ok I dont think its working and i dont know what i am doing wrong.

[formal goblet]

You can also try out the Custom-CSS module

[formal goblet]

It seems the module has a bug...

[crimson aspen]

Thanks pretty much - i got it now. But there arrives another problem. So i am having this code here, which is a flag i want to use later for text coloring - isnt that important.
${check1:= + roll1<=2 ? 'r' : ''}$${#check1:= + roll1>=3 and roll1<=7 ? 'b' : ''}$${#check1:= + roll1>=8 ? 'g' : ''}$ ${string(check1)}$
if i execute it like this it just gives out errors, console says:

SyntaxError: Value expected (char 12)
formula : " + roll1>=8 ? 'g' : ''"

I also tried to set the conditions in front of the ? in (). Then i get the following error:

SyntaxError: Parenthesis ) expected (char 12)

Also tried to edit in in the HTML Editor of the Rich Text Editor, since i thought the cause is " + roll1**>=**8 ? 'g' : ''", but when i change it back to >= it just goes back when saving.

[formal goblet]

and without the +-sign at the beginning?

[crimson aspen]

ah, alright - let me try ^^

[formal goblet]

I'm also not sure how the system behaves with variable reassignment

[crimson aspen]

But it shouldnt be reassigned right? since only one condition should be met

[formal goblet]

It doesn't matter. check1:= check1 is a reassignment

[crimson aspen]

But its check1:= roll1
Pretty sure im misunderstandig what you mean right now - sorry :/

[formal goblet]

:= is the custom assignment operator in CSB. It's more or less the same as = in Javascript. Whenever you use that, you have an assignment (it doesn't matter on the value you want to assign at all)

[crimson aspen]

Ahh, alright - now i get that. Alright - thanks. Well then i might have to look for a workarround ^^

[stone swan]

Iirc, the way you do it is uncheck the active box and then click the modify button. You don't actually delete the default ones so much as you hide them.

[bronze moon]

ok I am reading some css (which i got working with Custom CSS (thank you martin) and i think the name of the image container is incorrect. can someone else tell me if that is so.

.custom-system-item-container-image

[formal goblet]

I mean the fastest way to verify classes and such are the browser inspector
