Custom System Builder

[worn iron]

I messed up my own example, my bad

there are times where every success adds a wound, but they're rare and mostly power related (Also siege weapons)

[formal goblet]

Ok, then a small hint: This will get complex and I won't help you with that for now because I have to sleep. But I can refer to this article here: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Tips-&-Tricks/Handling-Dice-Pools

[worn iron]

Yeah, that tracks

Good night and thank you so much for all the help

[heavy elm]

Any idea whats going on here and how I can proceed? In some cases everything works fine but its Like random what value I get here from several Items. Some return me two values one 14 and another one the correct value. Even when I use just a Copy of the requested item and dont make any changes. Its complete random what I get here.

[formal goblet]

Well, randomness is pretty hard to debug, so I'll need to know on which occasions this issue appears

[heavy elm]

😮‍💨

[formal goblet]

Maybe the console has some input

[heavy elm]

I'll check at home

[formal goblet]

And you could check your props in the console too

[static cargo]

Hello, is it possible to make items that bring other items along when added, such as "Fire elemental" species item that has "Fire Resistance" piggybacking on it?

[formal goblet]

You'll need a World Script for that, because you have to listen to certain Hooks (createEmbeddedDocuments, deleteEmbeddedDocuments) of the application

[dense pine]

It seems that after the Update to V12 / CSB 4 tehz following Label Roll Message of a Button stopped working:

${
setPropertyInEntity('self', 'MUT_base', 15)
setPropertyInEntity('self', 'KLUGHEIT_base', 15)
setPropertyInEntity('self', 'INTUITION_base', 15)
setPropertyInEntity('self', 'CHARISMA_base', 15)
setPropertyInEntity('self', 'FINGERFERTIGKEIT_base', 15)
setPropertyInEntity('self', 'GEWANDHEIT_base', 15)
setPropertyInEntity('self', 'KONSTITUTION_base', 15)
setPropertyInEntity('self', 'KOERPERKRAFT_base', 15)
}$

anyone have a clue why? Had no issues with this before

it updates the first value and then stops

[umbral jackal]

One thing I really want to try to do is have a chat message for an attack roll list all of the player's selected targets, highlighting the target on hover similar to combatants in the combat tracker, and include a button that allows them to make a defense roll. I'm not entirely sure how to do that, though,

[formal goblet]

These should be in separate Formulas, not all in one

[formal goblet]

Me neither 😂

[umbral jackal]

._.; It may not be doable at all, then.

[formal goblet]

I could figure out how to get the targets of a user, but highlighting is completely out of my scope

[umbral jackal]

That may have to be an optional part, then.

[formal goblet]

Try out game.users in the console and see if you find any useful functions in the prototype

[umbral jackal]

All righty.

[formal goblet]

If you find nothing, then you can consult the Foundry API or the macro-polo channel for the first 2 topics

For the defense roll...

My idea would be to store all necessary data for the defense check in the data-attr of the HTML-Element (Button) and then call a Macro in the onclick-event

[umbral jackal]

Hmm...the only issue I have with using macros is not knowing if I can easily export them along with the JSON data to other GMs I'm sharing the system data with.

[formal goblet]

The solution would be a module with a compendium, where your Macros are stored

[umbral jackal]

Oooooh. I don't know why I hadn't thought of that. Thank you!

[formal goblet]

All you need: https://github.com/GamerFlix/foundryvtt-api-guide/blob/main/advanced_api_guide.md

[umbral jackal]

Thank you! 🙂

As for the game.users thing, I do see that each user in that list has a targets array.

[formal goblet]

Perfect. That'll probably do

[umbral jackal]

Each holds a token.

[umbral jackal]

...Okay, maybe that isn't the only problem with using a macro...I have no idea how to write a macro with this system.

EDIT: Never mind, a search helped.

[umbral jackal]

Okay, that didn't help. All I want is to be able to save the below to a macro and call it whenever I need it. Can I even do this? Or do I have to convert the whole thing to a Javascript script?

?{rollModifier:"Edges/Obstacles (positive is edge, negative is obstacle)"[number]|0},
?{attributeMod:"Modifier"[number]|0})}$
${#rollFormula:=concat(string(2 + abs(rollModifier)), 'd6', switchCase(sign(rollModifier), 1, 'kh2', -1, 'kl2', ''), '+ ${attributeMod + stat_ACV}$')}$
${#modSeverity:=switchCase(abs(rollModifier), 0, '', 1, 'Minor', 2, 'MAJOR'can, '${abs(rollModifier)}$x')}$```

[formal goblet]

You'll even need custom HTML (and some JS)

[umbral jackal]

So I can't save it in CSB formatting...

Wait, derp, ComputablePhrase is a thing.

[umbral jackal]

I'm really just looking to use the macro to pre-emptively set some variables. Is there really no way to do it with just CSB formulas?

[umbral jackal]

Never mind, I'm just going to include all that in label roll messages. It's too complicated for me to try to do it as macros when I'm still stuck in the CSB mindset.

[heavy elm]

Can we dive in?

[exotic blaze]

Heya, wanted to ask if it's possible to create these side tabs you also have in DnD5e?

[heavy elm]

I just found out the last value of the array is the correct value. Is there any chance I can pick that?

[formal goblet]

I don't play DnD, so I don't know what you mean 😅

[formal goblet]

Doable with a little bit of JS

[formal goblet]

Nope, splitting a Label Roll Message would require JS

[heavy elm]

Which I dont speak. I still would prefer to debug it, but I dont know where to start. So both I would appreciate Help.

[formal goblet]

Then you should take a look here first: https://github.com/GamerFlix/foundryvtt-api-guide/blob/main/macro_guide.md

[heavy elm]

Is this for JS or debugging it?

[formal goblet]

That's primarily for debugging

[formal goblet]

I can take a look at it later on after work. You can either send me the templates or give me access to your world and I'll try to find the issue

[heavy elm]

Okay, I'll give you access to the world later

Thank you

[exotic blaze]

the DnD5e sheet looks like this:

and i was wondering if it's possible to create these sidebars or even also the texture of the sheet itself?

[formal goblet]

I see. I don't think you can do something about the Tabs without your own Component-Implemenation.

Regarding the texture, everything that involves styling, requires the use of CSS. You can either suply your own CSS-file or use the CustomCSS-module.

[exotic blaze]

alright, thanks.
will the tabs at some point maybe be an option tho?

[formal goblet]

Dunno, nobody requested this so far and I don't know if it's worth the effort

[exotic blaze]

ah, yea. fair point

[umbral jackal]

All right...then I'll have to keep putting all the logic inside the label roll message, or start over from scratch.

[formal goblet]

If you want to know how splitting can work: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Tips-&-Tricks/Handling-Dice-Pools

[umbral jackal]

Thanks.

[umbral jackal]

Well, I got this far.

<p><strong>Roll:</strong> ${[%{return await game.packs.get(`world.macros`).getDocument(`1eyuUXQfSrcKAJvO`).then(m => m.execute({ rollMod: ${rollModifier}$ }));}%]}$</p>

[formal goblet]

I see. The return of %{}% is wrapped with '' if the return is of type string, so you'll end up with an invalid string

It would be easier to save the result in a variable and use that in the Roll Formula instead

[umbral jackal]

Not sure I understand. Maybe it would help if I posted the macro.

let keepMod = ``;
switch(Math.sign(rollMod)) {
  case 1:
    keepMod = `kh2`;
    break;
  case -1:
    keepMod = `kl2`;
}
let rollFormula = `${2 + Math.abs(rollMod)}d6${keepMod}`;
return rollFormula;```

[formal goblet]

${result:= %{...}%}$
${[:result:]}$

[umbral jackal]

All right, I'll give that a try.

Progress?

[formal goblet]

No whitespace between the variable and the assignment-operator allowed (at least for now)

[umbral jackal]

...I...did not know that. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Oh! That fixed it! Thank you so much!

Now to see if I can modify it so that the macro also returns an edge/obstacle announcement string.

I think I'd do that by turning the return rollFormula; to return { rollFormula: rollFormula, eoString: eoString};, and change ${[:result:]}$ to ${[:result.rollFormula:]}$, and then doing whatever with result.eoString...right?

[heavy elm]

Can I DM for this?

[formal goblet]

Sure

[formal goblet]

Might work

[umbral jackal]

Going to give it a try now.

[formal goblet]

You might need to edit options.localVars within the Script

[umbral jackal]

Possibly. Doing it the way I tried just resulted in "object" being called an uncomputable token.

[umbral jackal]

Well, my thing for adding a list of targeted tokens to the chat message was working, until I actually tried to add the list of targeted tokens. I honestly don't understand what it is about this system that I'm just not getting. I know the problem is between the keyboard and chair, and it's frustrating the crap out of me.

...Okay, hang on, there's one thing I haven't tried yet.

No, that didn't work.

What's even more frustrating is that it works just fine in the debug console, but not when placed in a script thingy in the chat message.

...Never mind, I figured it out.

[humble geyser]

How do I phrase this? You know how with labels, you can click them, and it can do a dice roll and send a message in chat. How can I add something like that to an individual item without effecting its template?

I have a template for "abilities" that I want to be able to drag and drop onto character sheets, so I made them an "Item". But each ability will have different rolls and macros and what not. I wish I could edit the item sheets individually, and just have the template act as the baseline.

Cause I would rather not have to make a template for each individual ability or item

[umbral jackal]

It's kinda seeming like this system doesn't play well with template strings.

[lethal flax]

@formal goblet yo trying to do this formula ${switchCase(InitiativeStatDropwdown, 'brainsinitiative', brainsmod, 'brawnsinitiative', brawnsmod, 'braveryinitiative', braverymod)):0}$, which depending which drop down option listed returns a value of a choosen number field, however all i'm getting from it in vewing the hiiden attribute is ERROR.

[formal goblet]

closing parens too much and :0 has no meaning

[lethal flax]

closing parens?

[formal goblet]

)

[lethal flax]

okay now its just retuning a blank value (not even a 0) and now showing the actual value it should have.

[lethal flax]

@formal goblet note that this is from the formula ${switchCase(InitiativeStatDropwdown, 'brainsinitiative', brainsmod, 'brawnsinitiative', brawnsmod, 'braveryinitiative', braverymod)}$.

[formal goblet]

syntax is correct, so you don't have a matching case

[lost wigeon]

OK, quick question. I'm sure there is a simple answer to this.

I use macros inside of labels to allow people to spend experience by clicking on a Label text.

Example for Strength:

const { strength, experience, rank } = entity.entity.system.props;

if ( ( ( parseInt(strength) + 1 ) <= (rank) ) && ( parseInt(experience) >= ( (  parseInt(strength)  + 1 ) * 4 ) ) ) {

await entity.entity.update({"system.props.experience":  parseInt(experience)  - ( (  parseInt(strength)  + 1 ) * 4 ) });
await entity.entity.update({"system.props.strength":   parseInt(strength)  + 1  });

return "Strength increased!";

} else {}

return "Strength already at maximum for rank or out of Experience!";

}%```

However, I have a table of Specialties in which I wish to use a similar method.  

For the table called "specialtyTable", I want to increase the value of "specialtyValue" in the same row as the Label that you click on to perform the macro in the roll message.  How do I specify this in the above?  Thank you! 🙂

[formal goblet]

options.reference has the path, so you can traverse from there.

[lost wigeon]

So, I'd say options.reference.specialtyValue ?

[formal goblet]

It's a string (something like 'specialityTable.0.specialityValue')

[lost wigeon]

Got it. Obviously, it's dynamic using the same row, and the players can add more to the table by selecting new specialities to add, etc, etc.

So, the label has to dynamically update the value on the same row as itself.

On the good note, I think this is the final mystery that I need to solve to get my sheet to 100% 🙂

[formal goblet]

The 0 is the row index, so you can use that to get the row data. The row data itself is just an object with the properties of the column

[lost wigeon]

Got it! Perfect:) Thank you!

[lost wigeon]

And...I just noticed that you guys already implimented inherently a simpler way to do all of this. 🤦‍♂️

[brittle moth]

You could add a text area, visible to GM only, containing the roll formula, and the label roll message defined as "recalculate(<key of your text area>)"
This won't handle dice rolls however... Recalculate only works with static values, the same as a Label Text

[left osprey]

can i make a conditional that checks a string instead of a number? or do have to go to js for that?

[formal goblet]

equalText() it is

[worn iron]

Ooc, how do people set up Hit Boxes?

[formal goblet]

Wdym?

[worn iron]

Something that shows you have

x/y health or wounds remaining so that I could then work on making something that could remove wounds when damage occurs

I guess I don't really know how to describe it

Like, currently I have 2 seperate boxes for Current and Max "Wounds"

[velvet heron]

The way I have mine set up is, in my template I have a separate tab called GM which players do not see (set to minimum Assistant GM role) where I have Number Fields set up that I can enter the character's starting/current stats - I only have Body Points and Mind Points.

Then, under the Prototype Token's Resources tab, I set up Bars 1 and 2 Attributes as the Keys for those two Number Fields.

This way, when you drag the character's token onto the mat, it should display those stats as bars that you can then adjust with a right click.

If you need screenshots for clarity, I'd be happy to assist.

[worn iron]

Yeah, I think i'd need Screenshots to understand. Sorry

[velvet heron]

No worries. Each of the next paragraphs will reference each of the screenshots here.

So my actor sheets have a tabbed panel at the top. So I have added an extra tab called GM, which has a minimum role as Asst GM so the players don't see it.

In that GM tab I have two number fields which correlate to a character's BP and MP. In my case, I set the maximum to be a formula taken from another number field section, so players can't accidentally add more health than they are allowed when they heal themselves.

Then, on the Prototype Token box, under Resources, I set two attribute bars, one for each of the resources I already set.

Finally, when I drop the token down, it will show the bars for each of those attributes correctly.

I hope this helped.

[mint prawn]

Was thinking of doing a project with this but before I started, was curious about the ease of sharing it for others to run - I see the manual says something about being able to export templates in the settings and then import. Easy as that or any pitfalls?

[formal goblet]

It's that easy, yeah

[brittle moth]

#package-releases message
Hi everyone 🙂

**Version 4.1.0 is now generally available, with the following changes : **

Technical Features

• Added mandatory getTechnicalName method for Component classes. This will output a warning in the console until Foundry v13 compatibility version.
• Allowed Component Registration to only take one argument : the Component Class

Features

• Added the ability to drag and drop rolls to the Macro Hotbar
• Added translation support
• Added french translation
• Added german translation
• Reworked various texts, notably renamed Item Container to Item Displayer

Fixes

• Fixed Dynamic Tables wrongly allowing any type of component as a column - Restrictions are back in place
• Fixed Tabbed Panels not accepting dropped component
• Fixed Macro rolls from ItemContainer

If you encounter any issue with this new version, please post an issue on Gitlab : https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/issues/new

[last mirage]

is there a module or an easy way to track experience on a character sheet and automatically level them when they hit certain numbers?

[half beacon]

Dynamic tables allowing any type of component? 👀

This should be good

[half beacon]

You can probably do it with scripts, but that depends on the complexity of your system. For example, just increasing stats based on level will be a lot easier than adding new abilities or the option to multiclass at each level.

[brittle moth]

No that's the opposite ^^"
Dynamic Tables should not be able to allow anything as a Column, specifically Containers do not work. An issue made its way in and allowed unauthorized components to be added to Dynamic Tables, but this was not intended
Sorry the changelog was not clear :/

Hey, is there a better way to create radio buttons in a dynamic table?
Rather than having 5 columns for 5 buttons, can it all somehow fit in 1 column?

I suppose a table in a table could work if there's a way todo that?

[formal goblet]

#1037072885044477962 message

[sinful spade]

alright, and to the other ways of doing this? having 5 columns of radio buttons without a lable is a bit crazy

[formal goblet]

But... you actually can specify a Label for each Radio Button

[sinful spade]

when I said label i meant the column name, my fault.

[formal goblet]

I think you should be able to adjust the size of the column with CSS (or even by specifying a non-auto size for each Radio Button in the column)

[sinful spade]

I can probably force the spacing with css...
Can you think of a better way to do something like this?

I'm probably going to do the up and down arrows on each side of the radio buttons since I (dont think can) can't stack them.

(probably going to have to change the dropdown to a label as well)

[formal goblet]

It depends. You can always stick a Label-Component with your own HTML, so it might work that way

[sinful spade]

🤔 you mean like... create two divs in the cell that controlls the up/down functionality?

[formal goblet]

Yep. Quite a bit of work, but I think it's handleable

[sinful spade]

I think for that amount of work splitting thre arrows on either side of the radio is my best bet 🤔 should way simplify the process.
Not sure if this is a bug, but I have a tooltip for the panel tab that's a few levels above this table, and it shows the tip not only when hovering the tab itself but any content within the tab

visual:

the tooltip (TT) is set to the social tab but shows all the way down in another panel (no tt set) into a table

[formal goblet]

Interesting one. I think it's worth a report in Gitlab

[sinful spade]

I've never actually done that before lol
Not the most technical of people if you can't tell..
I'm over here trying to figure out how to make my up down buttons function lmfao

i actually dont even have a gitlab account, only github

[sinful spade]

So if I set the downarrow to a label and put this in the roll message:

${#notify('info', 'test')}$
It still outputs this to chat and makes a roll sound, can I disable that?

[exotic blaze]

what is the internal css name for the background of the character sheet?

[sinful spade]

try using the inspector tool:
i think it may be : custom-system-actor-content

using a formula for label text, how do i return an output to be displayed?

[sinful spade]

I also need to figure out how to set the group of a radio button to be different PER ROW in the dynamic table

[glad bison]

I have a question, I'm using the custom system builder, and i'm not really well versed in the language used for it and i wanted to know how i would reference one component to answer another. For example say i put the number 20 into a component where i track Dexterity and I have a formula of (dexterity-12)/2, how would I make it so another component would take the 20 and put it through that formula to get an answer.

[sinful spade]

i think that depends on how you're formatting the sheet.
For example if you're using a Dynamic Table and 5th edition you can:

${floor((sameRow('dexScore')-10)/2)}$
where dexScore is the Component Key of either a label or number field within the same row.

Note the math there is boiling down to ((input - 10) / 2) THEN round down.

[glad bison]

so if i wanted to take the number put for Str and use it in a formula to output a number in the tiny box to the right what code would I use and where would would I put in in the component.

say the number for Str is like 15 or something

[sinful spade]

make sure the box next to STR is a number field.
Where the box on the right is, set it to a label
in the label text set it to ${(floor(STR)-12)/2}$
where STR is the component key for the number field.

[glad bison]

it worked but I;m getting a -6 with a 15 in Str

[sinful spade]

what formula did you put? parenthesis matter.

[glad bison]

is this right?

[sinful spade]

yeah you copied what i did exactly lol which was a half conversion from 5e to what you said.
change up the parenthesis to be in the right order of operations.

floor((STR-12)/2)

[glad bison]

should I keep the ${ before and after?

[sinful spade]

absolutely.
that's telling the system that it's a formula and not just text.

[glad bison]

thank you been stressing about this for like an hour 🙏

[sinful spade]

trust me i know

i've been fighting with getting radio buttons to have per-line grouping,
and getting arrays to work and output in a dynamic table for about 5 hours now

the wiki is absolutely no help.

[sinful spade]

this is a out of date tutorial but it covers the basics and isn't horrible, most of what's wrong you can figure out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGVOj_iqiKg&t=123s

is there any way to change the color of the meter component, i wanna change it to blue

[sinful spade]

custom css file ❤️

[charred spire]

It was already on, but it still isn't working.

[rich dagger]

Hi! After the update Custome System Builder stopped working on Forge. It won't even show up among the installed systems, and when you try to install it, is says ok, but nothing is changing. I tried to uninstall, tried to upload through the Importer as well. Local version is working perfectly.

[vagrant hollow]

Head to the macro directory, find your macro, open the permission setting for this macro and grand at least viewer rights to the persons you want to be able to use tis macro.

[brittle moth]

Hello 🙂

I just released a 4.1.1 version to fix this. Can you tell me if the issue is resolved ?

[sinful spade]

dang that was fast

mr creator man 🙂
heads up there is a bug with the tooltips carrying into items beneath the panels, into other panels and tabels if no other tooltip is set ❤️

[brittle moth]

I had trouble building the package for this version, I think the Forge had downloaded a faulty version. The new version is nothing other than a new number to force the Forge into redownloading the package ^^"

But since I don't use it, I can't make sure it worked as intended :/
And the default Foundry Version for a standard User is v11, so the versions aren't even displayed in the bazaar :/

[sinful spade]

i currently have my css file set to /charactersheet_css_custom.css in the settings.
the wiki just says to set it to the file path starting from the data location - yet there are multiple data folders...
since im using node JS my dir looks like:

FoundryVTTServers\v12\data\Data\worlds\worldName\data
I've tried a few options but nothing seems to be working to load the css.
to test I have it set it * { background-color: red; }

opp -- nvm
worlds/worldName/data/charactersheet_css_custom.css worked... wild.

[brittle moth]

It's the path inside FoundryVTTServers\v12\data\Data

[sinful spade]

yeah on my linux OS it had worked with just "/style.css" which is why i was confused why it didnt work, and i tried the first and last data dirs... it was the middle one lol.

Heads up everyone:
when setting a meter color you need to add the !important css modifier as there appears to be a green overlay from the default element styling

.additionalCSSClass .custom-system-meter-fill {
background-color: #8d0621 !important;
}

Can someone ping me in the reply so I can get to it when I wake up?

But is there a way to change css coloring of a meter based on a dropdown value?

It'd be super dope to change the meter to a darker redish purple as you're more disliked and a lighter greenish blue as you're liked

I really think the visual distinctions would really help organize and quickly relay information

[broken pumice]

@sinful spade Not sure if it's what you want exactly, but you can change the colour of the meter based on the optimal, sub-optimal and sub-sub-optimal values.
I managed to make it work for firefox browser, but not for chrome. Here is what I currently have :

.custom-class-name {
--background: rgba(180,180,195,1);
--optimum: rgba(150,150,220,1);
--sub-optimum: rgba(100,100,155,1);
--sub-sub-optimum: rgba(50,50,90,1);

meter{
background: var(--background);
}
/Firefox/
meter:-moz-meter-optimum::-moz-meter-bar {
background: var(--optimum);
}
meter:-moz-meter-sub-optimum::-moz-meter-bar {

[brittle moth]

I'd say you have two solutions :

1. Use a dropdown for the liking level, with numbers as key (a liking rating from 1 to 5 for example) and a meter with that dropdown as a value and min:0, max:5, low: 3, high: 4
   The meter will be red on 1-2, yellow on 3, green on 4-5

2. Use a dropdown for the liking level, with numbers as key (a liking rating from 1 to 5 for example) and a label with an html element and custom styling based on the dropdown's value

[rich dagger]

this issue was coming up exactly after i was updated to 4.1.1 yesterday

[brittle moth]

Impossible. Yesterday was the release of the 4.1.0, probable the culprit of the issue you have been experiencing
Version 4.1.1 was released this morning 🙂
Did you rerun the update after my message ?

[rich dagger]

Sorry for the confusion. i'll check right now and get back to you

[rich dagger]

gosh, my bad! The 4.1.1 solved the problem! Thank You and keep up the good work!

[brittle moth]

Glad this is solved 🙂
Enjoy the system, don't hesitate to message again if you have any issues 🙂

[glad bison]

how would i make this code round the number down, ${floor(Str-12)/2}$

[sinful spade]

I didn't consider using the levels of the meter to change color... that's could be a cool thing for as vital stats get lower the bar turns darker. BUT what i'm talking about is a "progress bar" toward the next reputation tier...
consider an xp bar and it's relation to level 🙂

[sinful spade]

The floor function already does that 🙂 that's why its there.
if you want to round up change floor to ceil (for ceiling)

[sinful spade]

yep, i got a drop down to signify the degree of which they like you - and a meter to show progress between reputation tiers.
So basically "xp bars" and levels.
Already have a dropdown containing all of the reputation tiers (1-11 as the key, so 5 pos 5 neg 1 neutral)

I have zero clue how to use the key as a HTML selector though... Is there a way in CSB to identify the key as a css class? and how would i port that information to sameRow(meter)? I'll be playing around with it for a few minutes here...

Sorry to always be in here asking questions but I've read the wiki on gitlab up and down about 6 times and frankly am at a loss for how to do most of what I want to do, at least the more advanced side of things

[glad bison]

when a number like 15 goes in it stays 1.5 it doesnt round down

[humble sonnet]

more parentheses, I think

[sinful spade]

look at your parenthesis and follow the order of operations

[humble sonnet]

${floor((Str-12)/2)}$

[sinful spade]

you are div by 2 after the rounding

[glad bison]

thx

[sinful spade]

there's not a function in CSB that lets me change the css class in advanced settings is there?

Like I cant put a formula in the css class section right?
${sameRow('reputationTier')}$ and just style the resulting .Neutral class?

didn't work 😦

[brittle moth]

No, additional CSS classes are not formulas ^^"

[brittle moth]

The Key is already used as a CSS class in the component 🙂
You should look at the HTML source by pressing F12, you should find your component in there and see which tag holds the Key as aCSS class 🙂

[sinful spade]

correct, I've found the keys within the select -> options elements

what i'm stuck on is using that information to alter the meter in the same row.

if I just did say .reputationTier select option[1] {background-color: red;}
I'd have effectively changed the color of my dropdown menu and not the meter fill.

i have no clue how to uh...
.reputationTier select option[1] { sameRow(meter){ background-color: red;}} ??? lol

[brittle moth]

You can set a Key on your meter 🙂
But indeed, you will Target every meter in the Dynamic table

[sinful spade]

im sorry i think we have a disconnect here lol
I'm okay with targeting every meter so long as it's all key 1 meters are red. all key 2 are orange (example).
but how in the world do i use the key to target the meter elemet? it's not under the same path

if i just target the key, it will change the dropdown, not the meter.
how do i use the data from the options element to impact the meter-fill class

.reputationTier select option[value="1"]{
background-color: red !important;
}
like i said, selecting the key only changes the color of the dropdown menu (suprisngly not even if it is the selected item, just the item in the menu)

[brittle moth]

You won't be able to change the meter's color for each value using just CSS. You won't be able to target each value, you will be able to target the meter as a whole but that's it

[sinful spade]

so what im doing is impossible ?

[brittle moth]

There may be a way

If you know all the percentages the meter can take, you can target the colored part with .meterKey .custom-system-meter-fill[style*="30%"] (Example with 30% fill)

Then you can turn it red (for example) with background-color: red !important;

[sinful spade]

huh?
im not trying to change the fill color based on the %
the fill color should be red if they're in a blood fued from 0-100%

so at 25% or 75% the green bar should be red, untill it fills up and they are no longer in a blood fued then it's 0% for say... "hated" status and should be... orange?

[brittle moth]

oh, I didn't understand that, sorry ><
If you don't need more than 3 colors that may be doable. Otherwise no, this won't be possible in the current element, and you should maybe use a Label to create your own meter-like display 🙂

[sinful spade]

is it possible to transition to the three colors based on distance from the key?
E.g. a gradient from red yellow green?

[brittle moth]

not with the basic meter component

[sinful spade]

is there a beter suited component then?
there's already a numberfield controling the meter's progress

${sameRow('reputationProgress')}$

[brittle moth]

Like I said, you can use a Label
Something like

<div class="custom-system-meter" style="width: 100px;">
<span class="custom-system-meter-fill" style="width: ${floor((sameRow('reputationProgress')*100)/6)}$%; background-color: ${switchCase(sameRow('reputationTier'), 0, 'red', 1, 'orange', 2, 'yellow', 3, 'green', 'blue')}$;"></span>
<span class="custom-system-meter-content">${floor((sameRow('reputationProgress')*100)/6)}$%</span>
</div>

This is assuming :

• reputationProgress goes from 0 to 6
• reputationTier goes from 0 to 4, 0 being the worst tier and 4 the best

You put this as your Label text and it should display correctly
Warning though : this won't automatically resize, you'll need to adjust the width parameter in the first div

[sinful spade]

hold on, you can inject html directly into a label?

i've done... so many workarounds...

[brittle moth]

Into label text, prefixes, suffixes and roll messages

Hell, you can even start an HTML string in a prefix, add to it in the text and close it in the suffix

[sinful spade]

i'm going to go cry in a corner

next question before i do

[brittle moth]

sorry

[sinful spade]

when i tried doing an array in a ${}$ earlier, it just output an error

before doing a dropdown i was trying to make buttons to control the selected value... but it would only output an error...
Why?

The code was SUPER simple
${const arrayName = ["value", "value2"];}$ and even that output an error

the logic was
${ const array
IndexedNumber = 1
currentRank = array[IndexedNumber]
}$
So the buttons could theoretically just changed the indext number condition...
but even removing everything but just the array was an error and i checked it with my dev friends for syntax errors.

[brittle moth]

That is because CSB language does not support arrays. You can do this in a Javascript script, by replacing the ${}$ with %{}%

Then inside the brackets, you write Javascript and must return a string, which will be outputted to the chat
Here is the doc for that :
https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder#45-scripts

(You may have to search the section yourself, GitLab is janky with those links... The section is 4.5. Scripts)

[sinful spade]

yeah i read the scripts section i didn't understand what it meant by "outside the system"

i figured that was a usecase for accessing other module's api or something... didn't realize that it was just to use native JS

figured any native js would be compiled by math.js just fine

[brittle moth]

It's both ^^
And no, math.js is pretty picky

[sinful spade]

if you cant tell by now, i'm not a developer. i'm a power user lol

it's me, i'm the wetware problem

There appears to be an issue with the math logic though 🤔
i tweaked what you sent from *100/6 to:
${(sameRow('reputationProgress')-1)*25}$%;
as its a scale of 1-5
so (1 - 1) * 25 = 0, and (5-1)*25 = 100.
Yet for some reason i'm getting odd incriments I've double checked the parenthesis and logic checks out yet i'm getting uhh

op there's a second span conflicting

[brittle moth]

The formula is in two places ^^

[sinful spade]

yeah i dindt read that low in the code yet 🤔
trying to figure out what the second fromula is for

a content class? is that for the ceiling?

[brittle moth]

The first is the width of the colored part, the second is the text printed in the meter

[sinful spade]

oh that's an interesting approach

dude seriously thank you for your help

you're a lifesaver

it's god damn beautiful

[sour egret]

Hi, I literally downloaded the custom system builder today, and I'm checking the Deathwatch sheet. Does anyone know if there should be some kind of button here or something? Maybe I forgot to download something? Im very new to this and not sure what to fix if something is not ok

[brittle moth]

Does the label have text or an icon ? If not, you may be lacking a world setting called "roll icon"

[sour egret]

i dont think it has any

[brittle moth]

You can go to Foundry Settings, under Custom System Builder and set "Roll Icon" to "dice-d20"
This should highlight all rolls in the sheet 🙂

Beware though, the Deathwatch sheet is pretty old, it may be non functional with latest versions of CSB :/

[sour egret]

its here many thanks

[crimson girder]

so im trying to use this to create a working sheet for the fire emblem roleplaying game, but I could use a few pointers

so in the game, you can carry several weapons, but only one can be equipped, how can I tell the system which item is equipped for the purpose of it being factored into calculations of attack

[copper glade]

How might you use the refresh button's function (the one beside the template dropdown on actor sheet), from a macro? I update a lot of values on the sheet but it's not very responsive to update itself for the players.

[formal goblet]

You could use a Dropdown (with options-origin: Dynamic Table) to select which Weapon should be equipped. With that, you can either perform a lookup() on the Table or you use a little Script to fetch the value of the Item, which is not present on the Container: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Scripts/Scripts-for-Items#1-scripts-for-fetching-values-of-specific-items-in-an-actor

[formal goblet]

await <actor>.templateSystem.reloadTemplate(); // <actor> must be replaced with the actor context

[brave trench]

I have math errors (I think? ERROR or NaN) all over my sheet after updating from 4.0 to 4.1.1, had no issues in 4.0. What changed?

[formal goblet]

Check console to see which kind of error

[brave trench]

not the whole thing, and there are like 500 of them so not sure if all the same but I think they are.

[formal goblet]

That one is derived from another error. See if you can spot the source (different error message)

[brave trench]

found another

[formal goblet]

Well, that one straight forward

fetchFromDynamicTable() doesn't exist anymore. It got renamed to lookup()

You might want to export your templates and replace all old functions with the new one (with search/replace)

[brave trench]

whats the best way to do that? Export then open where? I never edited sheet stuff anywhere but from CSB

or foundry i mean

[formal goblet]

Any kind of text editor, that supports searches (usually CTRL + F)

[sinful spade]

Notepad++ is ideal for most small time configuration IMO, especially since its free.

[brave trench]

Well, that was easy. ^_^ Thank you.

[sinful spade]

suddently my sameRow functions seem to not want to work

I'm getting "cannot convert attributeValue to a number" but it just refernces adding modifiers to bonuses?

the codee for attributeValue:
${sameRow('attributeModifier', 0) + sameRow('attributeBonuses', 0)}$

there's also a new warning:

Error: The {{select}} handlebars helper is deprecated in favor of using the {{selectOptions}} helper or the foundry.applications.fields.createSelectInput, foundry.applications.fields.createMultiSelectElement, or foundry.applications.fields.prepareSelectOptionGroups methods.
Deprecated since Version 12
Backwards-compatible support will be removed in Version 14

@formal goblet sorry for the ping but i think CSB broke '-'

so far it appears that it can no longer get a number from a label? but i'm not even certain

[formal goblet]

You can ignore that. Just a warning, that something will be removed with V14. Until then we have enough time to change it.

What does attributeValue return?

[sinful spade]

other than errors in the console? it only seems to return the value of the Bonuses without the Modifer

whats weird was these exact cells were working for weeks lol

and all the sudden i realized their math was off because i tried to reference them later and the console threw a fit

deleted the new addition and now they're entirely broken

[formal goblet]

You can inspect the props with game.actors.getName('actorName').system.props in the console. Maybe there's something suspicious.

[sinful spade]

anthing i should be looking out for specifically?

[formal goblet]

undefined, 'ERROR', values that don't fit

[sinful spade]

nothign standing out

[formal goblet]

Where do you use the value of attributeValue?

[sinful spade]

attribute Value is the "total" column

notice it's wrong lol

[formal goblet]

Split the formula of it and validate each part

[sinful spade]

running just the sameRow modifier gets all 0s

so - fallback i guess

[formal goblet]

Try without the fallback

[sinful spade]

removing the fallback gets the correct numbers BUT

Custom System Builder | Cannot convert "attributeTable.1.attributeValue" to a number Error: Cannot convert "attributeTable.1.attributeValue" to a number

this reappears in console

[formal goblet]

You're using sameRowRef() somewhere, right?

[sinful spade]

the code in the referenced cell works just fine -
no errors in console, correct output; just a label that converts into 5e modifers as a placeholder ${floor((sameRow('attributeBase')-10)/2)}$

[sinful spade]

not Ref, just sameRow

[formal goblet]

But that string can only come from sameRowRef()

[sinful spade]

i mean - idk waht to tell you lol this is the code for attribute value currently, and it's outputting that error:

${sameRow('attributeModifier')}$

[formal goblet]

I don't think that attributeValue is actually the source of the problem. I suspect, that you use lookupRef() on that column somewhere else instead of lookup()

[sinful spade]

uh, I had it set to lookup earlier but did change this function to use lookupRef:

${lookupRef('attributeTable', 'attributeValue', 'attributeName', sameRow('abilityBaseAttribute'), "==")}$

[formal goblet]

This will output a path, which will always be a string

[sinful spade]

i just changed that a while ago because it was sending errors related to that function that I hadn't touched since pre 4.1.1

and by a while ago i mean 20minutes or so lol, 🤔 but changing it back no errors are coming back... that's really... weird.

[formal goblet]

It seems that all contracts are satisfied then

[sinful spade]

i wonder if the new things i added somehow broke that old cell...

even more weird is that table wasn't referenced at all

but either way for now there's no errors, thank you so much and again sorry for piniging

[crimson girder]

hmmm ok so heres a new problem

i need to import a variable from the enemy target

then i need to compare it to the roll

this is what i have so far but its not compiling

basically the result of the roll needs to be equal to or lower than the sum of the player's accuracy minus the enemy's dodge

i think i need a string to check the result?

[static cargo]

Do we no longer have those "mini-templates" that can be put into main templates?

[brittle moth]

Yes, they are items of type "Subtemplate"

[brittle moth]

This is not possible using Foundry's core dice system, but with CSB functions it is !

You need to do :

Hit: ${roll1:=[1d100 <= (:Accuracy - fetchFromActor('target', 'Dge', 0):)]}$
Crit: ${roll2:=[1d100 <= (:Crit - fetchFromActor('target', 'Avd', 0):)]}$

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

[charred spire]

it's work! thankyou

I was going somewhere else

[crimson girder]

so when i click the button its assigned to, it doesnt roll so i think that means theres a compile error

from what i can see the syntax looks right

[crimson girder]

if it would be easier, i can dm you directly

[brittle moth]

Do you have an error i the browser console (F12) when doing the roll ?

[crimson girder]

lemme check

thats what it returned

[brittle moth]

Can you send me exactly what is in your roll message ?

[crimson girder]

I put the formula you posted

[brittle moth]

Ah damn, it's my bad, I brainfarted...

FoundryVTT's roll API does not do comparisons, so you need to do it outside the roll :

Hit: ${roll1:=[1d100] <= (Accuracy - fetchFromActor('target', 'Dge', 0))}$
Crit: ${roll2:=[1d100] <= (Crit - fetchFromActor('target', 'Avd', 0))}$

[brave trench]

Is the intent that only item rolls can drop onto the macro bar? Because on my sheet this is the case. Rolls from the sheet don't drop to the bar, but rolls from items do. Unless I'm doing something wrong. Looking for feature documentation currently but haven't found it yet.

[brittle moth]

Any roll with a key should be able to be dropped on the macro bar

Does your other roll have a key ? 🙂

[brave trench]

ah, that might be the problem. let me check

yep, lol. Thanks!

[worn iron]

Out of curiosity, what Pokemon System are you making?

[fallen coral]

Can anyone help me? I'm using CSB and I have a dynamic table with a dropdown menu that retrieves all the items from an Item Displayer. I'm trying to access a field inside that item called item_effect and I want to display it in that dynamic table (not in the Item Displayer). I would like to know if it is possible to access that field directly only looking for the item name or id, without storing the field value in the item container and then using that value in the dynamic table, if it makes sense

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Scripts/Scripts-for-Items#1-scripts-for-fetching-values-of-specific-items-in-an-actor

[silver lake]

Heya! I have a problem with Griddy not being able to detect item quantity.

I'm using item.Quantity in the respective field, given the variable is named "Quantity", but it doesn't seem to work

[formal goblet]

Is Griddy a module?

[silver lake]

Yes

An Inventory module

[formal goblet]

Then you have to discover, how that module actually detects the quantity of an Item. I can only tell you, that all properties are stored under <context>.system.props. In case of an Item (with the variable name item), it would be item.system.props.quantity

[silver lake]

Oh, lemme try that

I always get lost in those

Nope, nothing..

I don't know how to find that out

[formal goblet]

Visit the project page of the module and read through it. Ask the module owner. You can also take a look at the code of the module if it isn't too big.

Also make sure that the module does NOT DEPEND on specific systems. It must be system-independent

[silver lake]

It is system independent. And I was asking in Module Troubleshooting, hopefully to find the creator, but they told me to seek help here :P
Still hoping someone more familiar with the module pops up there. And the project page doesn't have anything on it. My best shot is reading a code I mostly don't know how to read. But I'll try when I have some time available.

Thanks!

[charred spire]

Hello, I actually don't even know if I can call it a system lol
Basically and briefly, I took the original Gameboy attributes, did some calculations that made sense, and added some dice.
Coincidentally, I was typing his rules to put in the diary inside the Foundry, because almost everything is in my head lol

The initial calculations are
HP/2 + level
Attributes /10 + 1 per level in each one, that is, level 5 would have +1 in all (except HP) and then repeat the process.
2d6 + this value. There are other little things but in short this is it lol

[worn iron]

Oh, so it's more original than anything. Neat!

[charred spire]

Yes, I use the original attributes as a base. But in the game I gave it a different taste, with my way of mastering ahha

[brave trench]

can anyone give me direction on this error?

[normal ore]

@formal goblet ,

This macro of yours:
https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Scripts/Scripts-for-Active-Effects#4-world-script-for-adding-custom-status-effects-in-the-config

You mention that the macro should be added in the World Scripter Compendium.
I didn’t understand that. Where should I add this script? I already have mine ready, but I don’t know where to put it!

[normal ore]

Oh, I get it now. The module was missing!
Sorry for the question. It's my terrible English! XD!

[wheat geyser]

Hi! How can I make it so that the key value of a dynamic table shows the value of a numberfield?

The idea is to use a drop list set to dynamic table ti change the result of a formula. Currently I have it working with:
${ref('alqudl')+alqumod+alqubon+alqunvl}$
And the dynamic table has some integers at the key column. It works fine, but I need to change those int from key column to a ref for another numberfield... So far I haven't been able to do so

[formal goblet]

So you have to map numbers to keys and get the value of that key?

[wheat geyser]

I think so... Not completely sure if I get you by 'map numbers'

[formal goblet]

This would be a Map:

0 => 'str',
1 => 'dex',
2 => 'con'

So with the number 1, it would map to 'dex'.

A simple input/output - example

[wheat geyser]

Ok... Right now I have some formulas to show the total value of the atributes. I need to get the final value of those labels into a dynamic table so the drop list changes the value it's using for another formula. The formula is working with this table, but I need the atrval values to mirror the value from a numberfield

[formal goblet]

So just ref(dropdownKey)?

[wheat geyser]

Does that work with the regular drop list?

[formal goblet]

See this: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/FAQ/Frequently-Asked-Questions#q-my-dropdown-contains-keys-to-other-components-how-do-i-get-the-value-of-those

[wheat geyser]

Oh boy... so simple XD

I'm pretty sure I did something like that, but messed up anyway somehow XD

Thanks a lot!

[fallen coral]

Thank you! 🙂 In case someone tries to accomplish the same thing and have a hard time understanding how that first part works, here is the guide:
https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Guides/Formula-System

[brave trench]

@formal goblet did you see my error image a few posts above? I've never heard of that... ".replaceAll" It's not even on my sheet, and this is another new error when changing from 4.0.1 to 4.1.1

[woeful skiff]

As it states on the wiki you can uses data from an actor or item in userInputTemplates.

The template will be displayed using the actor or item data, if you want to use this data in Labels in the template. 

When I call an userinputtemplate in a label roll message of item container how do you reference something in item because item.[key] does not work.

[formal goblet]

It comes from fetchFromActor(). Can you check the formula inside it?

[formal goblet]

The OR is an either ... or ... depending on from where you roll

[woeful skiff]

It is coming from a label roll message in a label an item container . I can reference data from actor in userinputTemplate but not from the item.

This is a reference from the actor ${strength_perm}$ and works

If I reference a key in the item use ${item.skill_specialty}$ I get

If i remove the item. I get.

[formal goblet]

We didn't include the properties of the linked entity (aka item). So you won't have a chance without a change in the system

[woeful skiff]

I setup a variable in the roll label message but I could not reference that in the userInputTemplate either.

[formal goblet]

Yeah, local vars are also not considered 😅

And yeah, I know, dialogs could have some improvements

[woeful skiff]

Should the read.me be changed then stop people from torturing with questions about it.

[formal goblet]

You're the first

[brave trench]

This is the formula.

equalText(sameRow("operator"),'Auto') ? sum(autoPilot,sum(lookup('damageTableSoft','integrityLoss','location',sameRow('stationName')))) : fetchFromActor(sameRow("operator"),sameRow("attSelect"),0)

unless its an error in the roll message, that above formula is just the label.

${#?#{User Input Sheet}}$

${#bonus:= equalText(sameRow("operator"),'Auto') ?  autoPilot : fetchFromActor(sameRow("operator"),sameRow("attSelect"),0)}$

<table>
<tr>
<th>${sameRow('stationName')}$</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Operator</td>
<td>${sameRow('operator')}$</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Total</td>
<td>${Roll:=[:diceModSelect2:+:bonus:]}$</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Buffer</td>
<td>${sameRow('buffer')}$</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Limit</td>
<td>${sameRow('limit')}$</td>
</tr>
</table>

[formal goblet]

You forgot to specifiy the target-actor

A wait, I see

What does your sameRow('attSelect') return?

[woeful skiff]

There is at least one other
#1037072885044477962 message

[brave trench]

@formal goblet

The actor is the "operator"

attSelect seems to work, I did a test field in the dynamic table, it returns the chosen attribute of the actor name plugged into the "operator" field.

[brave trench]

@formal goblet Also want to add that I had no problems up until this recent update. To 4.1. did something change on how actor data is accessed?

[wheat geyser]

Hi, is there a bug that makes some rolls not to roll? I've got a able with the same formula but diferent values and some just don't roll, no matter what I change

[sonic vault]

Hi guyss
How do I get the number of lines from a container item, without the items needing to have an attribute quantity = 1

[brittle moth]

4.1 actually removed the fetchFromDynamicTable and getRefFromDynamicTable which had been forgotten in 4.0 (but said to be removed)
Does your executed Formula use any of those fonctions ?

[brave trench]

I replaced all fetchfromdynamictable stuff via notepad, control+H/ find and replace all method, so I don't believe so.

I think I fixed this particular error though by telling it to just roll a label (which was a copy of the same formula and was working fine). I don't know why I didn't do this in the first place, I think there was an issue at some point rolling the label so I put the formula in the roll as well. Now it works this way and not the other. 🤔

However.... I have another error that I found though. Many of my calculations on this sheet are looking for values on a dynamic table that may or may not have rows added. They calculate fine when there are no rows. when I add a row, they all come up with Error "uncomputeable token" undefined values. Then, when I change any field in the table, the sheet rights itself and all the errors go away. Any clue what is going on with that?

[brittle moth]

I already have a bug report on that, default values in Dynamic Tables not being used for computation right after row creation :/
The underlying question is : what is the contents of sameRow("attSelect") (an example)

[brave trench]

Oh okay, and no work around for the bug at the moment?

There is an image that shows all attSelect is. This whole sheet is a vehicle sheet. this particular section is a dynamic table with combat stations. a player puts their character name into the "operator" field. the roll (or label now at this point) looks for the operator's attribute based on attSelect. As I said, I think that problem is solved via just rolling the lable. I'm not sure why the roll formula didn't work anymore but the label did but if it works it works lol.

[brittle moth]

Oh well if it's fixed then... Huzzah I guess ^^

[timid roost]

Hey guys, I managed to get my roll macro into CSB character sheet, however, besides the desired result, it also give me an undefined error. When executing the macro there is no error. Is there something wrong with the way I'm doing it? I just copied it from the documentation:
%{return game.macros.getName('rolagem_bl').execute()}%

[brittle moth]

Is there an error message in your browser console ? (F12)

[timid roost]

There is actually!
<span class="custom-system-roll" data-roll-data="{"raw":"undefined","result":"ERROR","parsed":"undefined","hasDice":false,"tokens":{"children":[]},"rolls":[],"hidden":false,"explanation":true}" data-roll-mode="publicroll" data-hidden="false"> <span>ERROR</span></span>

Maybe this makes it better to read lol

[formal goblet]

You can disable Chat Message creation in the Label config. The error comes from the undefined return of the Script

[timid roost]

That solved it! Thanks!

[timid roost]

%{return await game.macros.getName('macro').execute({name: '${str}$'})}%

Is this correct if I want to input my STR score into the macro before executing it?

[formal goblet]

Yeah, but you'll need to access the value under the name name with your current Script

[timid roost]

I see. Thanks!

[ebon laurel]

Similar to Guashnim's question, but I want to have my Roll Label fire off both a visible message including dice rolls and text, as well as IronMonk's /timer command (which I have set up as a chat macro since I can't seem to get it to work within the roll label directly). Since I can't just disable 'send roll message to chat', is there some other way I could work around it? Can I fake a return value in a chat macro?

[formal goblet]

This should hide the result of a script:
${#%{...}%}$

[serene helm]

I've been poking around the internet trying to find an answer, but I suppose I'll just ask here directly:

So I have my own system, and I have a character sheet that goes with it. Is there any way to get CSB to work with that character sheet, like adding buttons/inputs to a PDF?

[brittle moth]

No, not directly to your PDF. You can recreate your sheet in Foundry, but it will be "from scratch", you won't be able to just add fields to a PDF 🙂

[serene helm]

Dang. So without some HTML/Java footwork, I won't be able to use the design

Righto, thanks 👍

[formal goblet]

${count(lookup('table', 'column'))}$

[formal goblet]

I'd need more details for that:

• Your Formula
• All dependencies of the Formula

[dusky mauve]

Trying to add roll to macro bar
So my roll is in Dynamic Table. A have click right button on the roll, copy the chat message and put it to macro bar
/sheetRoll ic_combat_skill(@rowId=cs2ThWCX1HMmp90H).roll

when I have modify macro up to official doc - macro stops working
/sheetRoll ic_combat_skill(name=Eels).roll

Doc
To trigger dynamic table rolls, you must use a filter like the property reference, for example : /sheetRoll skill(name=Lock picking).score to trigger the roll associated with the label in the score column of the dynamic table skill, on the row which name is Lock picking.

[sinful spade]

How can i use a math.js function on a CSB function?
i specifically want the math.sign(sameRow())
but wouldnt math.sign require %{ and sameRow ${

[sinful spade]

I think you need ${}$ as well..
in a later point in the wiki it mentions using a macro;

4.10. Do not include explanation in chat message
When using formulas in chat-messages, you can use the Formula's result as is, without it being enclosed in the clickable box with the explanations. This can be useful if you want to call a macro with parameters calculated from Formulas. To do so, prefix your formula with !, for example :
/myMacro ${!target - roll}$
You wont need the ! unless you want it silent but the example should apply

[dusky mauve]

but this is work
/sheetRoll ic_combat_skill(@rowId=cs2ThWCX1HMmp90H).roll
and only when I change @rowId=cs2ThWCX1HMmp90H to name=Eels, according to the doc - it start Fail

[sinful spade]

🤔 i mean.. it sounds like foundry is having a hard time referencing a given name rather than a document ID.
have you tried it with the ${}$?

[sinful spade]

i found a simpler formula to approximate the same result in a more transparent way to the players...
But still struggling with the implimentation of:
%{Math.trunc(${sameRow('attributeBase')}$/20)}%

[barren skiff]

Hello, i'm new to Foundry and while trying to setup my homebrew (from scratch) system for my friend, i'm trying to setup something that would passive regen their mana and stamina every turn but can't seem to do it, i saw the active effect on the gitlab but can't seem to make it work, nor trigger it, could someone help ? Thanks

[sinful spade]

@barren skiff
if this is to be believed - you'll need some other macro, script, or module to handle that.
Though if it's some 5 hp per round healing... i'd just have people do it manually tbh

[barren skiff]

yeah it's something this easy but i'd like to automate this if possible, most of the player being very new to this, so i could try a macro or script but what i dont get is how would this work ? Should i use the macro every encounter ? I heard about world macro, could this be a thing ?

[sinful spade]

honestly not sure 🙂
Im an awful coder and only decent at messing with foundry, though i hope to get better.

https://foundryvtt.com/api/classes/client.Combat.html

foundry has some built in APIs you could possibly hook with a JS macro that senses the end of a turn

something along the lines of...

on new turn
get combatant...
if combatant is player
regen 5hp

[barren skiff]

oh nice, i'll give a look, thanks 😄

[sinful spade]

ofc, but hang out for a minute and maybe one of the system devs will come along, they're fantastically helpful

[barren skiff]

well it's 3am here i was about to go to sleep, but sure thing tomorrow ! 😄

[brittle moth]

Judging from the message, this is a macro from an Item Displayer 🙂
The modification you make will not work there, the macro needs the item ID to work correctly in that Case

Why do you want to edit the macro ?

[sinful spade]

Link kind friend :I
is it possible to reference outside of a table using a sameRow name?
e.g.. to reference 'physicalBonus' and put it into the table as a label in the Physical row?

I've been playing with this concept to see if it'd work

${ref(${sameRow('attributeName')}$FlatBonus)}$

or, i guess the inverse would also be fine - have an empty label and use an item to modify the value based on the name?

[formal goblet]

How about lookup()

[sinful spade]

I'm not sure if i'm explaining this in a way that makes sense lol

[sinful spade]

to access it from outside the row, but then would it change the contents?

[formal goblet]

Which content?

If you need to fetch a value from a table and the source-component is outside of the table, use lookup(). The alternative is item modifiers if we're working with an Item Displayer.

[sinful spade]

so any of it i guess haha.
I have a base physical score of 80, say I get the fatigue debuff - how can that debuff go in and change the bonuses (3rd column) to -10 for example.

If I can get one of these working, I can extrapolate the rest of this table out pretty easily

[sinful spade]

this specifically is me trying to get the same attribute and search up the '<name>FlatBonus' key outside of the table and autofill it in, should it exist (using 0 as a fallback would be a later step)..
That way items could modify the value outside of the table which would then be ported in..

IDK if this is even possible thouhg

[formal goblet]

Ah, you need to modify values within a table.

With modifiers, you need to use lookupRef() in the key-section (item modifiers have to use fetchFromActor() additionally)

[sinful spade]

im sorry, I'm not following?

[formal goblet]

Item modifier key: ${fetchFromActor('attached', "lookupRef('table', 'targetColumn', 'filterColumn', 'filterValue')")}$

[sinful spade]

sure, that'd let me modify their hit once it's rolled i suppose

i guess what i'm trying to do is map out the table the be inclusive of items and bonuses to impact generic modifiers in real time so that players can easily see totals and values in row based on skills.
The tricky bit is I'm using dynamic tables to do this all to be able to add skills mid game similar to a 'fudge' system

e.g. player declairs a skill he wants to be really good at, and I'd have no way to know in advance to just add it in... so this way he can click to add a new row and just... bam!

Am i potentially missing an intermittent step? Using a dynamic table to house all potential skills and port them outside of the table for items to modify?

[brittle moth]

You can use any of these functions directly in Formulas : https://mathjs.org/docs/reference/functions.html
And sign is one of them !

[sinful spade]

❤️ i saw sign was one, my issue is with syntax of the %{ and ${ for that...
since the lookup? ref? i forget what i was doing at that time is within the Math.sign function, I cannot close out of one before the other and was getting errors with every way i tried

oh, it was sameRow
%{math.sign(${sameRow()}$)}% wasn't working

[brittle moth]

You don't need %{}% to use sign, just do ${sign(sameRow(''))}$

[sinful spade]

oh, so I can drop the Math. as well since we're using that compiler. that was probably my issue

sorry i moved off that problem and am having trouble remembering what i was using that for at this time.

Currently trying to figure out how to let items modify a dynamic table

oh right, i was trying to modify the dice pool ...
I needed to separate the sign to notify the roll of KH or KL conditionals

[brittle moth]

@formal goblet was giving you the right answer for this 🙂

In items (and active effects) you can define modifiers which will modify values on the actor sheet. The modifier is applied passively as soon as the item is added to the player.

The Key must be the Key of the value to modify. It can be a Label key, a Meter Key or an hidden attribute key. The Field can contain Formulas.
The operation defines the operation you want to do on the Field
The value defines the value of the operation. For example, if operation is - and value is 10, the modifier will decrease the field by 10.

Now to your specific issue, you need to target a cell in a Dynamic Table. To do do you need the lookupRef function, which will return the technical Key of a Field in a Dynamic Table.

[sinful spade]

i'm following so far.
I've been playing around with the functionality, and made a Ring that gives +5 to max HP.

but currently my attempt to make that ring give a +1 to physical bonus isn't going great lol

setPropertyInEntity('attached', 'lookupRef('attributeTable', 'attributeBaseBonuses', 'attributeName', 'Physical')')

[vagrant hollow]

Can this lead to foundry hanging for everyone?
And maybe hanging becomes longer the more persons are connected?
Get a very strange behaviour of adding or deleting dynamic tables rows yesterday while having the first game after updating from 3.0 to 4.0

[brittle moth]

Replace the setPropertyInEntity with fetchFromActor 🙂

[sinful spade]

Omg... i figured since it was fetch it would just... get that information to be utilized elsewhere

what a misnomer ❤️ thank you so much

sorry for doubting you martin

[brittle moth]

This should not
Does it happen only when adding Dynamic Table rows or on every sheet update ?
I have two things in mind : I saw an object merge in the code that may cause issues, and a Foundry bugfix in v13 which can help, stating that the prepareData step was called multiple times on entities by mistake, which in CSB case can be very time consuming, and exponential depending on how many items an actor has.

[brittle moth]

That's what it is though, the key Field just has to return the Key of the field to update, not update it itself

[sinful spade]

i think i understand

can i use switchCase for conditional logic?
because I tried:

${switchCase(sameRow('attributeDiceMod')+sameRow('attributeDiceBonuses'), >0, test)}$
and it's throwing cannot convert "error" to number.
(both dicemod and dicebonuses are lables containing only number values)

[vagrant hollow]

I didn’t had much time to research the behaviour via the game seasion.
There where no error, but it seams foundry was recalculating every item and actor in existence and doing so once for every connected person. So in this situation multiplied by 5.

Happened only while adding/deleting a row. Every other change to the sheet reacted normally.

I will run updates now and test later if it still occurs.

[brittle moth]

Nope, switchCase only checks equality 🙂

[brittle moth]

Looks like the Foundry issue tbh, but that's concerning :/

[sinful spade]

I see.
'-' so I should use %{ and use standard JS, correct?
every time i've tried that i've had issues with the %{ and ${ conflicting.

even outside of the math.js functions

[brittle moth]

You can make conditional checks with this syntax :

condition ? value if true : value of false

For example : sameRow('attributeDiceMod')+sameRow('attributeDiceBonuses') > 0 ? test : 0

[sinful spade]

is there a specific way i should chain these?

[brittle moth]

The values are also executed, so they can be conditional too..I recommend using parenthesis to ensure the order of execution 🙂

[sinful spade]

today i learned that: ' and ‘ are not the same.. 😮‍💨
thank you tho

[formal goblet]

Oh yeah, that will cause some issues 😅

[sinful spade]

i just want to say, as someone who doesn't develop things...
coding is like having an argument in a language i dont speak against a grammar ... enthusiast.

[brittle moth]

Yeah, that's the spirit !

[sinful spade]

😂 i'm currently in a 30 minute long argument about adding two strings

it keeps trying to convert to a number

https://tenor.com/view/weary-charlie-day-charlie-kelly-iasip-its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-gif-17000939

got it! 😩
well.. sorta

this is a csb question so:
If i modify my table value using the item method martin suggested earlier, is there a way to display a + sign if it's positive?

[formal goblet]

You can use string() to force it to a string.

@brittle moth I think we should just override concat() or provide our own function for string-concatenation, so that numbers won't cause an issue

[sinful spade]

sbecause right now my output is
5d62 rather than 5d6+2

[sinful spade]

yes my issue was i was wrapping both a string and a number up in the string function when i had to uh...

${concat(sameRow('attributeDiceQuant'), string(sameRow('attributeFlatBonus')))}$
^ that

[formal goblet]

You have to check that manually

[sinful spade]

so another column converting it with conditionals?
Or is there a way to conditional the cell that's being modified without mucking it up?

[brittle moth]

Yeah, we should, it is indeed a pain

[sinful spade]

i just want to say that you guys are absolutely wonderful and i appreciate all your patience with me

it (finally) works.

(just noticed my + didnt carry over... gime 2minutes lol)

okay no? my code is correct???

i think the built in string function uh... ate it?

[sinful spade]

okay i've been playing with the roll function for over an hour, am i missing something obvious?

This is my latest attempt:
{$[sameRow('attributeFinalDice')]}$

• but I've tried pleanty others such as concatting in the additional ${}$ or ${/${/}$}$

[brittle moth]

${[:sameRow('attributeFinalDice'):]}$

Your dollar was misplaced
Any script call inside a roll must be enclosed in ':'

(Confusing, I know, there is some rework needed there)

[dusky mauve]

Oh, my bad.
this is Item Displayer.

Is any possibility automatically take icon form the item to the Macro Icon on HotBar?

[brittle moth]

If you drag / drop the roll from the sheet in the macro bar, the item name & icon will be automatically taken from the item 🙂

[dusky mauve]

Oh, my bad 2))))
I need drag ROLL itself and not the item ICON))) form item displayer

[brittle moth]

Dragging the item creates a macro to open the item
Draggin the roll icon creates a macro to make the roll 🙂

[dusky mauve]

yes - now I know it) it was not obvious for me

And how to put ALT roll to the hotbar? or I need modify call directly in hotbar?

[dusky mauve]

@brittle moth So due to UNIQ id from itemDisplayer there now way use 1 button on HotBar for the SAME skill but different Tokens?

[sinful spade]

i honestly dont even know what that means

[formal goblet]

It doesn't like your Roll Formula 😅

[sinful spade]

😦 i didnt even write that one

it's just like link posted:

${[:sameRow('attributeFinalDice'):]}$

the code it references is a little gnarly but the output should be ok

[formal goblet]

Test what samerow outputs

[sinful spade]

huuuuh

${sameRow('attributeFinalDice')}$
outputs .... squares?

wait im dumb

i left it in the role formula lol

here's the output of a regular label

its red because of some css styling i was trying to get the roller icon to be red

but it came out perfect

[formal goblet]

I need it in the Roll Message. But from the first glance, it seems valid

[sinful spade]

you mean like this?

[formal goblet]

Yep, seems valid

What about just ${[5d6+2]}$?

[sinful spade]

yeah manual inputs work

rolls just fine

oh .

Uncaught ReferenceError: sameRow is not defined

?

[sinful spade]

was i not supposed to plug that into console?

[formal goblet]

Ah, no. It's literally a formula

But you get a log in the console

I suspect a suspicious character in it

[sinful spade]

do... i roll the consoleLog?

because if i use it as label text it's just 'error'

[formal goblet]

Do it in the Label Roll Message to be safe. You don't have to put it into a Roll Formula

[sinful spade]

${consoleLog(sameRow('attributeFinalDice'))}$

[formal goblet]

And what's the error?

[sinful spade]

only a bunch of those

no red errors

[formal goblet]

It means you have an undefined return for some reason

And without an error message, it means it was able to find the column, but the value in it was undefined

[sinful spade]

? 🤔

i mean

the cell we're referencing is a merger cell based on concats

but since it came out with sameRow ...?

[formal goblet]

Just to make sure...
Try out game.actors.getName('actorName').system.props.dynamicTableKey in the console

And check the props in the entries

[sinful spade]

oops lol

do i need to put the table key somewhere in that?

[formal goblet]

Yep, replace the dynamicTableKey

yeah i got actor name haa

attributeModifier: "ERROR"?

wait that's long been deleted.

attributeFinalDice: "1d6\n"

interesting there are \n at the end of them

[formal goblet]

HAAAA

You shouldn't use newlines in formulas 😅

[sinful spade]

whats weird is.... i dont think i did? '-'

i dindt put any formatting into it just incase either

so it's all one line

[brittle moth]

No, indeed the way it works means the macro will only work for the original character :/

Did you add a newline after the Formula in the label text ?

[sinful spade]

tentititavley no?
I copy and pasted the entire label text just now.

I never really use \n - i prefer <br> lol

[formal goblet]

You create a \n by pressing enter

[sinful spade]

im gonna be honest i got no clue what im doing 🤣

? the entire code is on one line tho.

[brittle moth]

The question is : is there a blank line at the end of the "label text" Area in the label configuration form ?

[sinful spade]

no

but i just opened NP++ and ran the joinline function

no idea how or why but it appears to be working

.... so i just spent two hours tearing this apart for... an invisible bug that came from ...?

how you people became coders, i'll never know o3o

[formal goblet]

You could export the actor and search for \n

[sinful spade]

lol i think in this case joinline was easier

i dont even want to think about how many lines there are in this character sheet

it's kinda out of control

but again i'd have actually never figured this out

so thank you

[sinful spade]

oh and before it gets too burried: this gentleman was looking for some help

[brittle moth]

Hello 🙂
This will not be possible from CSB only. You'll need to craft a custom module for that 🙂
You can maybe ask in #macro-polo for help on a macro, or #module-development for help on a custom module creation 🙂

[barren skiff]

Oh ok, thanks ! 😄

[barren skiff]

Is this possible to update a key value with a macro ? For exemple my player have 0 out of 10 mana, and with a macro i could run when need he get 2 mana to bring him at 2/10 ? When i run the macro, i don't manage to correctly update the key value and instead of going from 0 to 2, it goes to 02, then each time i hit the macro it add another 2 behind like 02222, any idea ? Thanks

[formal goblet]

The +-operator can do different things:

• If both values are numbers, they will be added together
• If at least one value is a string, they will be concatenated together

[barren skiff]

ooooooh

it work 😄

Thanks ! 😄

[sinful spade]

Maybe it's sleep deprivation, but I can't for the life of me get dropdown filtering to work on a item containers.
I've got it to put out (object obj), error, and just blank lines lol

[brittle moth]

That's because it's supposed to work on Dynamic Tables only 🙂

[sinful spade]

I thought you could output an item container to a drop down?

[formal goblet]

Shouldn't the option population still work because the table-data-structure is now more or less the same?

[brittle moth]

Only if you use column data, you won't be able to use the name or the image of the item, since it's not saved in the data structure :/

[formal goblet]

Name and Id are saved, I agree with the image

[brittle moth]

I don't have the code in front of me right now, I trust you 🙂

[formal goblet]

Me neither, but that's what I have in my mind

[brittle moth]

What are you trying to do exactly ? populate a dropdown with the items in an item container ?

[sinful spade]

Yes
I'm trying to get a list of all titles the character has unlocked and display one

[half beacon]

You lost me. Are the titles items? If you're trying to display a list of item names into a dropdown, ${lookup('key','column')}$

[sinful spade]

I tried the item container keeu and column 'name' for sure.

And yes, titles are items

I think that the one that spat out error

[fallen coral]

I'm pretty sure I read this here but I can't seem to find it anymore. Is there a way to display the Label value of a dropdown menu instead of the key?

[brittle moth]

Tested right now, you need to configure it like this :

The Dynamic Table Key must be your Item Container key, option keys must be id and option label must be name, both all lowercases

[brittle moth]

It depends where you fetch the options from.

• If they are custom options, no, there is no easy way, except making your own translation script
• If they come from a Dynamic Table, you can use lookup('yourDynamicTableKey', 'yourLabelColumnKey', 'yourKeyColumnKey', yourDropdownKey)
• If they come from a Formula, then you must already have the translation script 🙂

[fallen coral]

since all the options start differently, it would be easier to use a switchcase right? or is there a simpler solution?

[brittle moth]

I guess switchCase is the best, since all keys are different 🙂

[fallen coral]

thanks 🙂

[sinful spade]

so... not the lookup, ref, fetchfromactor.. any of that?

[brittle moth]

Specifically in this configuration, no need 🙂

[sinful spade]

😩 alright. i guess im glad its easier than i thought

well i say that

whats the synax for "column to use as option key"?

[brittle moth]

just the key of the column. This should be unique data, every row should have a unique value for this column. In your case, since you want to display items, you should use id, which will use the id of the item as a key

This is not something you're going to see on the sheet, it is technical data to remember which option was selected

[sinful spade]

ok, cause i only have the default name column in there right now and uh this configuration isn't working lol

you can see "the Duke" title in the bottom left as my test

no errors in console, just a blank dropdown

[brittle moth]

As I said

The Dynamic Table Key must be your Item Container key, option keys must be id and option label must be name, both all lowercases
You entered 'Name' with an uppercase N, it should be lowercase

[sinful spade]

i tried that first

then i changed it to Name to match how its displayed on the table as a test

my bad

changing it back and no go

[brittle moth]

is condPrestigeTitle the key of your Item Container ?

[sinful spade]

yes

do i need a component in the item?

because right now its just a blank template for testing

[brittle moth]

No, that's not necessary

Can you send a screenshot of your template ?

[sinful spade]

um sure, but they're both just blank like i said

[brittle moth]

No, I mean the actor template
And a screenshot of the character as well 🙂

[fallen coral]

It seems I'm messing the syntax up, do you mind taking a look? I'm trying to nest the value of the dropdown menu inside the switch case, it looks something like this (btw it is written in a label) ${switchCase(dropdown, 'str', Strength)}$ what am I missing?

[sinful spade]

you need '' around dropdown and strength ❤️

those are singles btw

[sinful spade]

anything you're looking for specifically? or do you just want screenshots of everything

[brittle moth]

Your formula tries to display the contents of the field with the key 'Strength' if the dropdown 'dropdown' has the key 'str' selected

If you want to print 'Strength', you need quotes around it : ${switchCase(dropdown, 'str', 'Strength')}$

[sinful spade]

not arround dropdown as well?

[brittle moth]

Specifically the parts around the Item Displayer

[brittle moth]

Nope, dropdown will resolve to the dropdown's selected value, if you put quote, then it's just the string 'dropdown'

[formal goblet]

Nope. You need the value of the dropdown component, not the static value 'dropdown'

[fallen coral]

Thanks, I'll try to correct it

[sinful spade]

good luck mate 😩

[brittle moth]

Congratulations, you spotted your first bug in CSB :p

[sinful spade]

wait so you're saying for once it's not me? 😄

https://tenor.com/view/sol-cheer-solana-cheer-gif-25196726

andd hey this is my second bug 😦

[brittle moth]

To make it simple : the solution doesn't work because the name and id of the item are not computed unless there is at least another column in the Item Displayer

[sinful spade]

yepppp ... adding a second column works

[brittle moth]

As a workaround, you can create a new column, give it a key and no text or anything, and it should work ^^"

[brittle moth]

Really ? What was the first one ?

[sinful spade]

... would you believe me if i tried everything i could think of for about 3 hours before even messaging y'all?

[brittle moth]

I believe you ^^

[sinful spade]

uh tooltips carry down

i messaged you and martin about it a couple days back

[sinful spade]

here

[sinful spade]

carries through tabs, tables, pretty much anything until a different tooltip is set

[fallen coral]

That did the trick thanks!

[brittle moth]

Didn't see it, I bookmarked the message to fix this later 🙂

Well the Item Displayer issue will be fixed in the next version 🙂

[sinful spade]

yeah haha i tagged you in it a bit after that,
martin had asked me to report it in gitlab but i havent had the willpower to break my fixation on this sheet to make an account haha 🤣

[formal goblet]

I think the wildest bug we have right now is this one: #1037072885044477962 message

[sinful spade]

y'all honestly have way too much on your plates with this 🤣
I know its the last thing on your minds but cleaning up the wiki would seriously help the less technically inclined like myself stay outta your hair better.
I feel bad coming to you so much but after 3-5 hours on a problem that I can't find on the wiki or screening the past message is about all i can take haha.

if its easier, maybe updating that tutorial on youtube with the most common things would at least screen the common answers out

[formal goblet]

Do you know this page? https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/home

[sinful spade]

also the wiki button on gitlab appears to be broken, i stumbled into a whole new section that i couldnt click because i clicked on martin's link when searching for someone else having issues with dropdowns

annnd that's the second

🤣

yeha i found that this morning / last night

[formal goblet]

Yeah, the REAL Wiki has a bit more details in some aspects 😅

[sinful spade]

yeah when i went looking specifically for that after your link sent me to it

i found it in the initial message, burried as a {here} link lol

but the wiki button on the side is broke so i had (when i read it the first time) assumed it was a link to the page i was already on

[formal goblet]

The Wiki-Button on the sidebar has the same URL...

[sinful spade]

as of a few days ago it just sent a 404

it seems to work today tho 🤣

[formal goblet]

Your net then

[half beacon]

At one point, I considered making a video as a quick breakdown of how to use CSB. I'm not that knowledgeable, but some starting point for visual learners isn't a bad idea. There's a video out there already, but it's outdated from what I recall.

[sinful spade]

extremely outdated - i still have linked it a few times in this chat but yeah lol it's only applicable to the extent of "here's how to organize a page" or bare bones labels

[half beacon]

Also I have no idea how to use macros and I'm terrified of them. I run to javascript every time I think I might need macros.

[formal goblet]

Yeah, that one was from V8 or V9 with horrible UX, because Components weren't draggable 😅

[sinful spade]

omg felt.
i have so many use cases for macros and custom scripts but...
I can't actually code! 🤣
i can like script with html and css, and even change someone's code to kinda do what i need but lord help me if i need to make something from scratch

[formal goblet]

This one is good to start with Foundry coding: https://github.com/GamerFlix/foundryvtt-api-guide/blob/main/macro_guide.md

[half beacon]

Is that m-macros!?

[sinful spade]

i've seen a number of tutorials but i'm not sure they'd be helpful because they all rely on JS... which agian - i cannot code!@

[half beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/squeam-gif-15112202467712276323

[sinful spade]

i cannot code in any language (yet)

[half beacon]

I encourage you to follow Martin's recommendations if you find your game ever needs something more than just bare bones.

[sinful spade]

i've actually learned (what I feel is a lot but is probably nothing) just from working with CSB 😬

my background is configuring minecraft servers lol i dont have a technical job, or degree this is just hobby

[sinful spade]

both him and link have been insanely helpful lol
link showed me how to add html direclty into a label the other day, i had no idea!

[formal goblet]

Concepts like data types, variables, operators, functions are practically in every coding language (even in simple algebra). You'll see many things, where you'll think "Oh, that seems familiar" or "Ah, makes sense".

[sinful spade]

im starting to see that 🤣 but there are none of those things in HTML or CSS haha
my friend just had to explain to me that a matrix is the same thing as an array... fml

[formal goblet]

Technically it's not actually 😅

[sinful spade]

dont do this to me

[formal goblet]

An Array is a 1-dimensional Matrix

[half beacon]

To the devs, may I make a small request for a future update? Just to have Number Fields have an optional prefix so that using it for "Health: 5/10" doesn't require two or more components. I thought to do it myself, but got confused looking at the code for the Label and Number Field components when I wanted to use them as reference.

[formal goblet]

It has?

[half beacon]

It... does?

[formal goblet]

Yeah, Label

[sinful spade]

i thought so?

[half beacon]

Let me go make sure I'm not just blind, as usual

[formal goblet]

It's not called 'prefix' to be fair, just 'Label'

[sinful spade]

mood

[half beacon]

I'm not blind, I'm just dumb.

*suffix

[sinful spade]

oh i see haha yeah
having lables after every num field to show max

i did it here:

[formal goblet]

Yeah, could be added

[half beacon]

Yeah. I use two Panels, one to align the Number Field to to right and the other to align the Label to the left.

[sinful spade]

i used tables for the same thing, since they're a bit more riged for dividing evenly 😛

[half beacon]

Obviously a very small and unimportant thing in the larger scope of the project

[half beacon]

I considered that

[sinful spade]

i love your css tho - very scifi

[half beacon]

Thank you! I think I spent a week or two learning CSS for my game? I don't remember.

[sinful spade]

thankfully i was already familiar with css before coming here but i've had to dive deeper to get things done... had to learn about nth child the other day to get my table columns formatted properly

[half beacon]

I've done more since then, but I posted a video of what I did a while back. This is what it was a couple months ago.

[sinful spade]

my playes (those masochists) specifically asked to see the breakdown of all the numbers so I unhid them all and just... css made the uhm "eye pathing"? visually intuative

[sinful spade]

please send that my way, that's not next but 3-5 items down the line, once the character sheet is functional lol

[formal goblet]

Example sheet btw: https://foundryvtt.com/packages/custom-system-builder-example

[half beacon]

I have a player like that. Collapseable panels are my new best friend.

[sinful spade]

havent found a horizontal collapse yet haha
but even so there's 4 players, and 3 wanted the data...
keep in mind 1s and engineer, 1s a physicist, and 1 is in forensics, so they're uhm... data lovers to say the least

[formal goblet]

Oh boy, forensics...

[half beacon]

I replied to my older post showing it. Check that one out, if you'd like.

[half beacon]

I don't envy you 🤣

[sinful spade]

but with a big of css tomfoolery i got it easily legable without collapsing

[sinful spade]

its okay haha - i'm also a datamonkey.. just not the same type as them.
my jam is qualatative data and statistics 😩

[half beacon]

Oh that's so much easier on the eye than I expected!

[sinful spade]

lol thanks :p

[half beacon]

Mine is addition and subtraction with single digits

You guys are leagues ahead of me

[sinful spade]

dude ... jesus christ... what?
how even

[half beacon]

I thought that was a sarcastic response to single-digit math

[sinful spade]

oh dude if you think this is bad aha
that's the dumbed down version after i got tired of dealing with sig figs and standard diviation i made a formula that approximates the same critical areas but is just rooted in a base number instead.
it's wayyy less accurate but i feel it was worth the fact that without doing any kind of math you can just know when your next spike is coming

settling on a -100-100 normal distro with base 0 and +20 diviations is MUCH easier haha

[sinful spade]

nah you have fun how you have fun!
i just love qunatifying this kinda stuff, and my players enjoy using it so - i allow the adhd to carry me into so many random rabit holes of design.. probably why i have so many bugs lmfao

[half beacon]

My brain stopped

[sinful spade]

sorry sorry haha i build those kinds of tests irl for work 🤣
but seriously how did you get that automated system working, that's fantastic!

make that a YT tutorial 😩

[half beacon]

It's not very complex. I hid everything except for the character creator (tabbed panel) in the character sheet. Then once the box is checked, hide the character creator and reveal everything else.

CSB is extremely flexible, I love it, and this is not a sponsored message

[sinful spade]

so wait that's done IN the sheet?

[half beacon]

Yep

[sinful spade]

i figured it was a secondary template modifying the created sheet 😮

[half beacon]

I believe that's possible, but no

I'm not that knowledgeable yet

[sinful spade]

yeah my "whiteboard" plan was going to be use inquiries

the ${? Name:
Popup prompts

[half beacon]

That'll work too!

[sinful spade]

i will say the one major downside of my system is that it's based heavily on GURPS and Fudge so i need a lot of real time modification to skills, attributes, bonuses etc as players declare and discover ways to express their characters so dynamic tables are my best friend - its just... man are they hard to use!

like tables based on data from tables and item modifications galore lol

[half beacon]

I'm not familiar with GURPS 😅

But I've heard of it

[sinful spade]

you ever played with FATE?

[half beacon]

Yes

[sinful spade]

gurps was what fate is based on

[half beacon]

👀 Oh! Hmm that kind of flexibility is hard to predict

[sinful spade]

which is exactly why i dont predict, i build systems that use player input to approximate what they want to do easily

and if one of them want to do something that's somehow way too far out of bounds... we add a new system lol

like in that last screen shot, you can really get good at any "ability" and just base is on any "attribute"
why not base your athletics on your dex mod if that's how your character wants to do it.
Never heard of a dancing skill but sure, base it on your dex lol

[somber bay]

When using fetchfromactor when no target is selected I get this error
Uncaught (in promise) Error: Entity "target"
is there a way to get it to 'keep going' despite the error? Sometimes my players are not really attacking a target, they just wanna get some damage for an object they are striking or whatever

[formal goblet]

The function has 3 args

[somber bay]

ah Ok so I have a fallback the first time it is called but not the second... let me try

if the fallback is a string is it in 'quotes' or "quotes" or alone? This is if it fails to grab a target's name

[formal goblet]

Doesn't matter (quotes if you want a string ofc)

[somber bay]

I'm now realizing it was my 'setpropertyinentity' causing the problem... trying to figure out how to get it to move on if there is no target

setPropertyInEntity('target', 'lastdamage', "newdamage", 0)

[formal goblet]

Well... Maybe if you check with fetchFromActor() first.

Small hint: Players won't have permission to update sheets they don't own.

[somber bay]

Yeah I had to give them permission to damage monsers which they can do fine. I think I need to nest 'setPropertyInEntity' inside a query that skips it if the target is the default like if default name is 'name' then if it sees name it returns ' ' otherwise it writes the damage to the creature

(thank you for walking me through this)

[fallen coral]

How do you check if a dropdown inside a dynamic table has any option selected, or if it has the blank option selected?

[brittle moth]

Honestly, arbitrary code execution in the system is not an issue for me at all, not in a Software which encourages it by the way of macros 🙂
There is nothing you can do in the various fields of CSB that you can't do in a macro ^^

[brittle moth]

The blank option has a blank value, you can check for that 🙂

${equalText(dropdownKey, '')}$

[fallen coral]

That worked, thanks!

[normal ore]

Hey everyone, how's it going?
I would like to know if there's a way, either in a label roll or a macro, to have three rolls, and when executing it, the rolls wouldn't all happen at once. The result of the first roll would determine whether the second and third rolls continue. Is there a way to do this? If so, can you guide me?

I tried tweaking the settings of the Dice So Nice module. There was an option to uncheck simultaneous rolling, but it didn’t seem to change anything!

[brittle moth]

It is possible to have the result of a roll determine the formula of the second one. With Dice So Nice, if a roll formula does not contain a roll, no dice animation will happen. But I think if multiple rolls are to happen, every roll will trigger at once...

Here is an example message :

${#roll1:=[1d6]}$
${#roll2Formula:= roll1 == 6 ? '1d6' : '0'}$
${#roll2:=[:roll2Formula:]}$
${#roll3Formula:= roll2 == 6 ? '1d6' : '0'}$
${#roll3:=[:roll3Formula:]}$
${roll1 + roll2 + roll3}$

This rolls at most three 6 sided dice, rolling a dice only if the previous one rolled a 6

[normal ore]

Great!
But the simultaneous rolling continues! Is there a way to do this without the rolls being simultaneous?

[brittle moth]

No, I don't think it is possible with just one chat message. I'll try some tweaks in a macro to be sure 🙂

This macro "works"
You can see a delay between rolls, but everything is still pretty much too fast... You'd need to hook onto Dice So Nice's APIs to wait for a roll dice to end before making the next one, and before posting the last message

const chatMsg = "${[1d6]}$";

let lastResult = 6;
let rollSum = 0;

for(let count = 0 ; count < 3 && lastResult === 6; count++){
    let phrase = new ComputablePhrase(chatMsg);
    // Computing phrase
    await phrase.compute({});

    // Posting phrase to chat
    phrase.postMessage({});

console.log(phrase.result);
    lastResult = Number(phrase.result);
    rollSum += lastResult;
}

ChatMessage.create({content: 'Final result : ' + rollSum});

[normal ore]

Oh my God! You are amazing!

It's still relatively fast, but I'll take a look at the Dice So Nice API.

[normal ore]

I found this macro in the Dice So Nice documentation that delays the rolls perfectly:

attack.dice[0].options.rollOrder = 1;

let directDamage = await new Roll("d6").evaluate({async:true});
directDamage.dice[0].options.rollOrder = 2;

let aoeDamage = await new Roll("d4").evaluate({async:true});
aoeDamage.dice[0].options.rollOrder = 2;

// Merge rolls
const rolls = [attack, directDamage, aoeDamage]; // array of Roll

// Post directly to chat or create your own ChatMessage
// Here we post directly to the chat
const pool = PoolTerm.fromRolls(rolls);
roll = Roll.fromTerms([pool]);

roll.toMessage();

I just don’t know how I would put a CSB script inside each roll!

I’m trying to figure that out!

[brittle moth]

You won't be able to in the current state, I'm afraid. But you can fill out a feature request for CSB on Gitlab to make this happen naturally in CSB's roll messages

If you can link this doc it would be even better 😄

(The request on Gitlab is to make sure I don't forget it, since it stays logged in one place 🙂 )

[normal ore]

Alright, I'll make the request there. Thank you very much!

I created it, but I apologize if I didn’t follow the proper request layout or posted it in the wrong place. I don’t understand English very well, and even with translations, I sometimes get a bit lost!

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/issues/401

[brittle moth]

Perfect, thank you 🙂

[spice sierra]

Hi, this has probably been asked before but I've been going through some old messages here and couldn't really figure it out. Is there any way I can store a formula in a Dynamic Table field so I can just call that field elsewhere and get the result?
Exmple: I have this formula stored in a Value field in the dynamic table: ${10 + first(lookup('traits_dtable', 'attr_value', 'attr_key', 'attr_agility')) + first(lookup('traits_dtable', 'attr_bonus', 'attr_key', 'attr_agility_bonus'))}$
And then I want to get the result in a label: ${first(lookup('secondary_traits_dtable', 'attr_value', 'attr_key', 'attr_evasion'))}$
How can I store the formula and then call that field somewhere else?

[formal goblet]

recalculate() lets you use arbitrary formulas

[last mirage]

how do you change an item to only give benifits if it's "equipped" not just in the inventory?

[formal goblet]

You put in a condition into the value formula

Something like ${equipped ? weight : 0}$

[spice sierra]

OMG THANK YOU

[last mirage]

would you then have to make a checkbox to "equip" it? I'm only aware of how to organize item containers, not how to add a way to "equip" them

thanks for the help

[formal goblet]

The state would usually be saved in the item.

How you define the state of 'equipped' is up to you.

For things, that have only 2 states (true or false), a checkbox is generally the best choice

[last mirage]

ok, so if a weapon had a checkbox on the item such as "equipped_weapon" what would I have to do to make it so when its in the "bag container" it goesnt grant benifits, but when it is clicked to "equipped" via the checkbox it switches to the "weapon" item box and grants item benifits?

[formal goblet]

Item modifier are granted, whenever they're attached to an Actor. Items do not care, whever (or even if) they are displayed in a Container or not

[last mirage]

ah ok, so there's no way to limit them to "equipped" then?

if so thats ok, is there a way to change item containners based on the component key?

[formal goblet]

You can still apply values conditionally. Your value formula in the item modifier has access to the properties of the item

[last mirage]

ok, so the "checkbox" would have to be modified in the item itself wether to grant benifits?

[formal goblet]

Yep. You could change the properties of an Item from the Container with a little trick, but the Item would be the one holding the equip-state

[last mirage]

so if the checkbox was "equipped_weapon" where and how would I implement this to apply item mod's only when the "equipped_weapon" is checked?

[formal goblet]

And you can configure filters for your Containers, so that they only show Items, that bypass the filter. So you could make it also dependent on the equip-state of the item

[last mirage]

and do you mind giving a quick example of how to format the "equipped_weapon" into the filter formula? Sorry I'm still very new to the syntax of all this.

[formal goblet]

In the value formula of the item modifier: ${equipped_weapon ? mod : 0}$

[formal goblet]

Either item.weapon_equipped or not(item.weapon_equipped)

[last mirage]

it's now only showing in the "bag" when unequipped which is great, but doesnt change when the checkbox is clicked.

the "Equipment" item container has the item.weapon_equipped formula

nevermind, I found the error

it was just supposed to be "equipped_weapon" not "weapon_equipped"

[last mirage]

so is this correct for the item modifier? ${equipped_weapon ? mod : 5}$

wait a second... it's working in reverse

it's granting the benifit to unequipped and not when equipped.

[formal goblet]

This one means "If equipped_weapon is true, then mod, otherwise 5"

[last mirage]

ah ok, got it

thanks for the explanation. So I would make that 0 again. and where would I place the 5 so it was added only when equipped?

[formal goblet]

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

[last mirage]

amazing, thanks, that's extremely helpful

and last question, I promise, to future proof the container with not(item.equipped_weapon) with other checkboxes, for example a equipped_armamanet for a different template, how would I add multiple options?

[last mirage]

and thanks again, you're the best 🙂

[formal goblet]

Chain them with and, or, xor or whatever: https://mathjs.org/docs/expressions/syntax.html#functions

[last mirage]

thanks again, you're the best

[barren skiff]

Hello, i'm still new to this so this may be a stupid question but, i'm trying to create an item (any, just to understand how it work), and by reading the gitlab i get that i have to create a template (same way it's create for the actor), then an item using this template, but when it come to the modifier i can't get it to work, i do a simple thing like that (screen), but the item when add to the actor didnt modify the value i want. I already try with this key and the same one with "actor." before but no luck, any help ? The value i want to modify is from a label and a number only, the number being on the "label text" thing. Thanks 🙂

[barren skiff]

ok i get it it's was stupid

[brittle moth]

You don't need the 'system.props' part, just enter the key 🙂

[barren skiff]

yeah i figured, thanks ! 😄

[last mirage]

is there a way to type icons into the rich text editor? such as "fa-solid fa-fire-flame-curved" If so whats the correct syntax?

[charred spire]

Did CSB update to version 12?

[formal goblet]

<i class="fas fa-fire-flame-curved"></i>

[formal goblet]

Yeah

[last mirage]

Thanks, I tried it that way, but it seems to just display the text, and not the icon.

[formal goblet]

Try it in the HTML-editor. The special chars are getting sanitized with the normal editor

[barren skiff]

i'm getting the grasp of item but now i'm stuck on trying to make an item a consummable for a one time use such as a potion, is there a way to make a item run a script for more complex use or i can only use the item modifier tab ? Or, how can i make a item not a passive thing once in the inventory but more like a "use" item my player have to activate to run a script ? Thanks

I also dont get how to link a quantity to an item once in the player inventory, i do have a "quantity" column but i dont know how to fill or empty it automatically through the item script or even manually

[formal goblet]

• 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

[barren skiff]

hummm, so i'm suppose to run the script inside the item in a label roll message as a formula ?

oh i got that, but i still dont understand how to define a quantity in the item container

[low walrus]

so how would i be able to display a roll in the item Displayer Columns. right now it only displays a error for the damage output on the sheet
the formula that is in the label text is "${item.RDamage}$"

this is supposed to be displaying 4d6

nevermind Figured it out, i had to put [] in the autocomplete formula of the item template

[summer turtle]

It's been a hot minute since I've touched the system, is it possible to have a value determined by a drop down key like this?
${psy_alpha ? 8 : psy_beta ? 6 : psy_gamma ? 4 : psy_delta ? 2 : psy_epsilon ? 2 : psy_none ? 0}$

Basically so if one of those is selected in a drop down another key (psy_rating in this case) would be one of those numbers?

[fallen coral]

Do we have a list of UI modules that are compatible with CSB?

[low walrus]

ok new question, why does the damage output as this instead of a roll?

i simply have "${item.RDamage}$" in both label text and label roll text with 4d6 as the value on the item

[fallen coral]

Use [ ] to roll, $[4d6]$, in case of using formula ${[item.RDamage}]$, if the value needs to be translated : : ${[:item.RDamage:]}$

Perhaps translated isn't the better word to describe it... if anyone has a better definition, feel free to correct it 😁

[low walrus]

got it outputting correctly thanks

[raven raven]

hi, what do I put here: to trigger one of my macros?

[vagrant hollow]

After updating foundry 12.331 and CSB 4.1.1 the messages of foundry recalculating items and actors are gone – but time delay is still the same.
I found this error when adding a new row:

Logger.js:33 Custom System Builder | Uncomputable token "lookup('treffer', 'trefferp', null, null, '===')" UncomputableError: Uncomputable token "lookup('treffer', 'trefferp', null, null, '===')" at lookup (FormulaFunctionImporter.js:84:27) at math.js:26523:52 at math.js:26516:66 at Object.evaluate (math.js:24162:45) at r.evaluate (math.js:24139:55) at Formula.computeStatic (Formula.js:439:27) at Formula.compute (Formula.js:366:21) at processFormulas (ComputablePhrase.js:103:35) at async ComputablePhrase.compute (ComputablePhrase.js:157:34) at async ComputablePhrase.computeMessage (ComputablePhrase.js:257:9) at async Label._getElement (Label.js:107:26) at async Label.render (Component.js:143:25) at async Tab.renderContents (Container.js:43:25) at async Tab._getElement (Tab.js:43:33) at async Tab.render (Component.js:143:25) at async TabbedPanel._getElement (TabbedPanel.js:56:36) at async TabbedPanel.render (Component.js:143:25) at async Panel.renderContents (Container.js:43:25) at async Panel._getElement (Panel.js:97:33) at async Panel.render (Component.js:143:25) at async TemplateSystem.getSheetData (templateSystem.js:337:41) at async CharacterSheet.getData (actor-sheet.js:49:19) at async CharacterSheet._render (foundry.js:5838:18) at async CharacterSheet._render (foundry.js:6572:5) at async CharacterSheet._render (foundry.js:7158:5)

“treffer” is the dynamic table i added a row to and “trefferp” is the only otherwise used value in this table. The other values in the table are just notes.
But anyway calculation of “trefferp” works fine.
Is this the “not accepting the default” bug?

[brittle moth]

Looks like it 🙂
The Foundry issue is said to be fixed in the v13 preview :/

[brittle moth]

This should work 🙂

[vagrant hollow]

Oh, that means no hope of a fix in v12.
Sad – I have to find a work around for me.
Thank you

[brittle moth]

I have this list 🙂
https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/FAQ/Supported-Modules

[brittle moth]

You have a full explanation here : https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Guides/Formula-System#334-calling-macros

[fallen coral]

Oh, that's awesome! Thanks!

[fallen coral]

How can I set a value to a field of an item that is already added to an item displayer?

[formal goblet]

Is the value only available in the item or also in the item displayer?

[fallen coral]

I'm displaying it in the item displayer as well yes

[formal goblet]

Then you can do a lookup()

[fallen coral]

It will point to the reference itself instead of the item displayer field? I assumed it wouldn't work this way 😅 am gonna try that thanks

[formal goblet]

lookup() will fetch the value in the Item Displayer, because you said that the field is also there

[fallen coral]

Yes it is but I assumed it wouldn't work because that item displayer column is retrieving the value from the item, it is a label

[raven raven]

Sorry, i could not get this to work, this is too complex for me. All I want is to call a macro amed HP when I hit the label roll button.

[formal goblet]

Should be fine. Labels also hold values

[formal goblet]

You literally only have to replace the name of the Macro in the example to get it working

[fallen coral]

It isn't working... is it possible to asign variables to things like sameRow, lookup etc? I find it easier to mess up when there are a lot of fomulas inside each other

[fallen coral]

This was the previous failed attempt:
${setPropertyInEntity('${lookupRef('dynamicTable', 'fieldToBeAltered', 'Name', '${sameRow('Dropdown_with_name')}$')}$', 'fieldToBeAltered', "fieldToBeAltered - 1"}$
The value doesn't change... How would you achieve this if the field wasn't in the Item Displayer?

[formal goblet]

Wait, are you trying to change (instead of fetch) a field in an Item?

[fallen coral]

yes

[fallen coral]

Is it possible?

[formal goblet]

Yeah, but only with a script

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Scripts/Scripts-for-Items#2-script-for-updating-multiple-items

[fallen coral]

%{
const itemName = '${sameRow('select_muni')}';

I tried adapting the script you pointed to me

but this didn't work either

[formal goblet]

You must call <Document>.update, otherwise changes won't persist

[fallen coral]

Thanks I'll have a look then!

[fallen coral]

Yup that worked! Thanks! Took some reading to understand 😅

Hello, i've progress a bit since yesterday about the item creation process but i dont get how to run a script from an item because, the script should be in a label, but i obviously dont want to put the script in the template, so how does this work ? And once the script is in an item, i dont get how to run it from the item container, by reading the label key ? i miss something but i dont understand what, help would be appreciated, thanks !

[fallen coral]

Select Label for the column type in the Item Container and use the field Label Roll Message instead, every entry will become rollabe, if your formula is compatible with rolls

[barren skiff]

yeah i get that but putting a script here would make every item use the same ? Shouldnt the script be in the item ?

[fallen coral]

If you use plain numbers yes. The idea is to reference somewhere else. $[1d4]$ would make every entry a 1d4 roll, where (example) ${{item.item_damage}}$ will retrieve that field from each item individually

[barren skiff]

Hum, but how do you deal when different item have different effect ? I could call "item_effect" for exemple in the item container and each item have it's own define of "item_effect" ?

[formal goblet]

%{${!item.richTextAreaKey}$}%

[barren skiff]

like, i can put formula in the rich text area of my item and call those from the item container with this ? i though i had to use linkedEntity for that or anything from the item in the container

[formal goblet]

You could also do it with linkedEntity, but you'd need some sort of eval() if you do it this way

[barren skiff]

hum i'll have to look what it is, but i'll give a try with your way to begin with 🙂

[barren skiff]

well i can't seem to make this work even for a basic function

i use setPropertyInEntity('attached', 'Vie', 20) in the rich text area of my item with %{${!item.richTextAreaKey}$}% in the item container of the character sheet (with the right key) but it dont work

i dont even try to use a "+" function for the value, i just want to set it to anything to understand how it work for now

[formal goblet]

That is not a Script, that is just a formula. Arbitrary formula execution is possible, but with limitations (such as no rolls or setPropertyInEntity())

[barren skiff]

oh

so i should input full script into the rich text area

[formal goblet]

Or actually... Try out ${${!item.richTextArea}$}$

[barren skiff]

doesnt seem to work, i'll look for a full script then 🙂

Thanks anyways !

Greetings, good people of Custom System Builder Land. I have a puzzle I have spent entirely too long attempting to solve on my own. Perhaps you can help me. I'm trying to subtract the result of 1d6 from the value in a number field. It's a consumable resource called "Will." Whenever a 1 is rolled on a wound die (d6), another d6 must be rolled, the result of which should be subtracted from Will.

[fallen coral]

You can store roll values in temporary variables if you use variable_name:= before the roll, like ${roll:=[ 1d6 ]}$

then you can use that "roll" to subtract or add or whatever, there seems to be no limit to how many variables you can asign

[merry pendant]

Roll formulas don't work in setPropertyinEntity, do they?

[fallen coral]

If I were to guess, no. you can asign the value you obtain in the setPropertyInEntity, wouldn't that work as well?

[merry pendant]

I'll give it a whack. I've tried so many different ways I don't remember if I've tried that one or not.

I've put my test character, Beef, through a lot. Dude's tired.

[fallen coral]

Just to add to the previous answer, I'd use a ternary to check the values and perform the operations needed

[merry pendant]

I've used ternaries before. It's kind of 50/50 whether the formula breaks if I add a ternary. What would you recommend?

[fallen coral]

roll and store the roll, check with the ternary if the value is 1, if it is roll again and store that number in a second variable, if it is not asign the value 0 to the same variable, then subtract that last variable from the Will

subtracting 0 should do no harm haha

[merry pendant]

I'm coming back here if my formula explodes. 😛

Seriously though, sounds good. Thanks for the assist.

[fallen coral]

has left the chat

[summer turtle]

Unfortunately it is not. I have made a dropdown with the various dropdown keys I need, and make a hidden attribute for psy_rating, however I just get ERROR back

[formal goblet]

You're missing an else-case in your final part

[fallen coral]

What if we don't want/need an else case? What would be the best practice?

[sinful spade]

make psy_non your last case then

[fallen coral]

what if it is a single case? like an if without else? cause I feel I've been using ternary for everything

[sinful spade]

nono
like if eps, then 2, if not psy none.

or if that's not possible for what you're doing:
if none, 0, 'error'.

[formal goblet]

In this case you have no other way. The else-case is mandatory for the ternary

[fallen coral]

nono I mean like a simple if statement without else, how would you do it?

[fallen coral]

Yeah, I know, I'm trying to overcome a similar problem

[summer turtle]

I assume you'd just make the else case the same as your last entry? Or would I cut the "psy_none" part entirely for 0?

[sinful spade]

i have a conditional that
if positive then add +, if not
if 0 then add '', if not
if negative then add -, if not 'error'

[formal goblet]

You can do that

[summer turtle]

Nice, thank you

[fallen coral]

I guess what I'm asking is, how to check a condition without the else case or how to skip it if it falls under that case

[formal goblet]

You can't with the ternary, but that shouldn't be an issue at all

[fallen coral]

hmm is it possible with formulas? The only time I recall being able was in visibility formula.

[sinful spade]

setting it to 'error' basically is skipping it since it shouldn't come up as your last option is "none = 0"

is there any other possibility other than a, b, g, d, e, or none?

[fallen coral]

Perhaps you're thinking I made the original question? 🤔

[barren skiff]

Hey, still me about the item, i cant understand why it dont work, i try to modify the health of my player, with this : %{${!item.effect}$}%being put in the label roll message of the button in the item container so they can use their item directly from their inventory, and this :

const currentHealth = getProperty('attached.Vie') || 0;
const maxHealth = getProperty('attached.viemax') || currentHealth;
const newHealth = Math.min(currentHealth + healAmount, maxHealth);

if (currentHealth < newHealth) {
    setPropertyInEntity('attached', 'Vie', newHealth);
    return `Vous avez été soigné de ${healAmount} PV.`;
} else {
    return "Vous êtes déjà à vos PV maximum.";
}``` 
In the richtextarea of my (first) item (not the template) with "effect" as the key, any idea ? Thanks 🙂

[sinful spade]

i know you didnt, but i replied to you since it was your message I'm answering?

[formal goblet]

You don't have direct access to the functions of CSB-Formulas in scripts. So setPropertyInEntity() won't resolve. Use await <documentInstance>.update()

getProperty() is also not a known function

[barren skiff]

do you have any link about the document function please ? and ok i though as i see some comment talking about it

[formal goblet]

That would be the general Foundry API

[barren skiff]

oh ok, thanks 🙂

[merry pendant]

Evening! I need someone to tell me why the setPropertyinEntity formula at the bottom doesn't work. It just returns an error. My intentions are as follows:
Step 1: roll a number of d6 equal to the number of wounds a character has. Step 2: roll another d6 for each wound die that rolls a 1. Step 3: subtract the sum of step 2's wound dice from the character's will (a number field).

${woundroll:=[:wounds:d6cf=1]}$
${willdmgform:=[:woundroll:d6]}$
${setPropertyinEntity('self', 'will', "will - willdmgform")}$

[summer turtle]

I don't get an error anymore, but I'm also still not getting a number
