i dont really understand what you're doing - to be fair i assumed martin had it but it seems he left lol

[formal goblet]

You modify one Label, pull the data from the first Label into a second Label and do whatever you need.

[brazen laurel]

Glad thats the answer because Im already doing that as a work around lol

[brazen laurel]

And thank you, Im terrible at asking question so I dont blame you

[sinful spade]

to be fair there's probably a lot of context im missing

im only half paying attention rn

getting my ass kicked in elden ring

[low tulip]

so... the header has a specific width here that doesn't take up the entire sheet which is cool. But I just changed my panels there to tables like I did below for the same reasons. but...

then it broke the header width

[sinful spade]

😛 bro same solution as always, maxwidth

[low tulip]

hmm

might need to put that lowest row in a different table, it's too wide I think

[sinful spade]

that or change the spacing

and view it not in GM mode too

[brazen laurel]

Can you check what the value of a drop down list is in a formula?

Well a script. Like if X doesnt equal Y then etc.

[sinful spade]

Link showed me how to use switchcase for that

i can show you example code

[formal goblet]

equalText(dropdownKey, 'a') ? b : c

[brazen laurel]

Is this at all possible

Because the % is allowing me to use JS correct? Im not being dumb there?

[low tulip]

well I gotta go to sleep anyway, I'll return to this, thanks for all the help y'all!

[brazen laurel]

Unsure what value locationList is returning

[formal goblet]

Yeah it does, although a bit unneccessary for this case

[brazen laurel]

There are if statements further down, I had to do some weird checks for how the weight in my system works

[formal goblet]

${locationList}$ will return exactly the same barewords as in a Label. That means you lose the quotes for strings e.g.

Which will make the script interpret it as a variable instead of a string

[brazen laurel]

Hmmm.. so how I would ask if those things are equal

Im missing something here

[formal goblet]

You simply wrap ${}$ in quotes

[brazen laurel]

You know with a CS degree you figured Id get there

This may be an incredibly dumb question but what language is the ${}$ syntax even from

[formal goblet]

A custom language of the mathjs-library

[brazen laurel]

Like custom as in you made it or someone did and you found a niche use here

[formal goblet]

An external library we use

https://mathjs.org/

[brazen laurel]

Is it the same library that foundry already uses for other things?

[formal goblet]

Nope

[brazen laurel]

So you imported this library into the module to allow custom syntax you then wrote guidelines for?

[formal goblet]

It's a bit more complex, because we mixed it with our own stuff. But we rely on the expression parser of the library

[low tulip]

alright got to something I'm relatively happy with, but god damn is it frustrating to get the spacings to work the way you want to

goodnight!

[brazen laurel]

So you essentially frankensteined your own language just to make a module for people to DIY systems in?

[formal goblet]

The core comes from mathjs, we simply added a few things. But yeah, it should help you to do some calculations

[brazen laurel]

I wish I was half as knowledgable in understanding all of that

[formal goblet]

If you're curious, you can check these 3 files: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/tree/develop/src/module/formulas?ref_type=heads

[sinful spade]

lol bird complaining about not understanding stuff with a cs degree

imagine how i feel with actually 0 technical background

[brazen laurel]

I honestly have no clue how most people manage any tech without a tech background

My current job is helping people in IT and its just.... rough

[sinful spade]

uh frustration and determination

and a heafty does of confusion

[brazen laurel]

That sounds about right from what I experience lol

[sinful spade]

i learned everything i know from making minecraft servers for my friends :I i dont understand how anything works. things just sorta work through trial and error lol

i still cant code 🤣

[brazen laurel]

Fair enough, thats how it all starts

[sinful spade]

lmao that was over 12 years ago

i've tried to learn to code probably 3-4 times in earnest.

brain hurty

scripting is no issue whatsoever
but syntax... fml

[timid marten]

I don't get how this makes what I sent wrong

[timid marten]

`%{
const namefield2 = ${sameRow('namefield')}$;
const abacus = fromUuidSync(namefield2);

return abacus?.system.props['KG_fixed'] ?? 0;
}%`

this still returns an error

[low tulip]

I've noticed attribute bars aren't editable, is that fixable?

[timid marten]

@formal goblet any idea for this?

[formal goblet]

What does namefield2 return?

You forgot quotes around ${}$

[low tulip]

it IS a number field

just realized I forgot the ${}$ there

[formal goblet]

Interesting. The Attribute Bar created from that should be editable

Ah yeah, that should do it

[low tulip]

yeah it's editable now, thanks!

I have this gold trim around the sheet, what's the easiest way to get it to show up above the ability scores panel?

right now the trim is defined together with the background image as such:

.custom-system-actor-content {
     padding: 50px 20px;
     overflow-y: auto;
     overflow-x: hidden;
     background: url("assets/ff14-maps/sheet-foreground.webp"), url('assets/ff14-maps/sheet-background.webp');
     background-size: 100% 100%;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-attachment: local, fixed;
}

I don't know if it's possible from there or if it's in the wrong place in the html structure for it

[fair yoke]

Hi everyone, i'm looking for some help on CSB (awesome module by the way). I want to have a clickable button inside the chat message, wich would compute a roll and add the result of a previous formula (wich I already had put in a variable).

[formal goblet]

That is a pain 😅

[timid marten]

can't get logs with this:

`%{
const namefield2 = ${sameRow('namefield')}$;
console.log(namefield2);
const abacus = fromUuidSync(${namefield2}$);

return abacus?.system.props['KG_fixed'] ?? 0;
}%`

I think it's undefined

[fair yoke]

Well, i managed to have a clickable button using this in the chat message:
[[/roll 1d6]]{Cool}

But I would like to add my variable to the roll

(if it is even possible)

[formal goblet]

%{
const namefield2 = "${sameRow('namefield')}$";
const abacus = fromUuidSync(namefield2);

return abacus?.system.props['KG_fixed'] ?? 0;
}%

[sinful spade]

Martin o3o
I had a probably stupid question.

When making items, say a ring that gives +5 hp for example. I need to put a number field within the item, and then configure the item modifiers within the "ring" template. This means that 1.) players can modify the number field, and two for each new template I need to manually add the item modifiers? can i not add the modifiers to the sub template and have them auto added to a regular template?

[formal goblet]

Try out [[/r ${!var}$]]{Cool}

[sinful spade]

you have it set to a background image... you'd need to ... not 🤣 as in import it as an image through HTML, and use the css to set he positioning.

[formal goblet]

Each Item (not Template) can have its own modifiers

[fair yoke]

Awesome, it works! Thanks a lot ! ❤️

[sinful spade]

Templates can also have modifiers o3o

really what i'm getting at is I want to create a massive modifiers sub template that has all the possible things that I can modify, have them all set to 0 by default, auto have the item modifiers linked to those number fields, as well as labels that import and display the value of those number fields to the players.

This way every item that has a modifier, instead of writing it in custom - i just drag the modifier subtemplate over -> and change the fields of what i want to modify.

[formal goblet]

Don't think that is a good idea. Each modifier adds a computation step

[sinful spade]

ah 😦 that's lame.

[low tulip]

I figured. Is there an easy way to import my own html?

[sinful spade]

manually adding a number field, label, and item modifier for each stat and each item sounds... 😭

[sinful spade]

you can code html direclty into a label 😛

that's how we were doing the <BR>s yesterday

[low tulip]

you're right

so basically just do an <img> tag as the label text?

[formal goblet]

I don't even think that that is even good. I'd just go and add a static modifier for the special ring

[sinful spade]

I hear you but player can modify item modifiers unless they're coming from the tempalte

also it's not convient to display ^^

[formal goblet]

You can revoke the permission in the settings

[sinful spade]

son of a ..

😮‍💨 well that fixes a number of issues lol.
I suppose I should also ask if there's a better way to display the modifiers rather than players just opening the item modifier tab

[formal goblet]

Hmmm... Maybe with Active Effects? Because they can be displayed through the "Visual Active Effects"-module

[sinful spade]

I didn't know that was a module, but that looks fantastic.
However that doesn't work for what I'm using most of the items as.

Things like the character's race and class have stat modifiers and what not for example. I haven't even actually got to making magic items yet 🤣

Hell, I still don't know how I'm going to make a basic sword yet haha

[formal goblet]

Well, it's up to you what you pick

[sinful spade]

Can I edit player's permission to edit item names as well?

[formal goblet]

They can always edit the name

[sinful spade]

I assume the same goes for text fields within the sheet too, eh?

my players are adult enough to not use it to cheat.
i just know that they're gonna meme this hard lmfao

oh yeah they can change the image too 🤣

[formal goblet]

All normal Components can be hidden from players

[sinful spade]

Not looking to hide information lol. just lock it from modification.

I give them approximately 3 sessions to figure out they can do this, and one of them reskins a long sword to be the penetrator from saints row the 3rd.

[formal goblet]

How about a Checkbox, which toggles the visibility between Input Components and Labels?

That's what I do for a read-only sheet

[sinful spade]

🤔 youd be conferting rich text areas to label formatting.

Eh. honestly like i said, they're mature enough not to cheat.
they're just also immature enough to reskin items to be wild as hell haha.

that does bring up though, since they can change item skins, and open the file browers, that's a lot of ability to view all the images i have uploaded and potential spoilers.

[formal goblet]

I think you can hide parts of the file browser natively

But don't ask me how

[sinful spade]

i've never heard of such heresy - in 5e they just dont have access to anything that opens the browser so i'm unfamiliar

maybe not a per-image basis, but i did find this which disables them being able to change the item's image and thus access to the browser.

at least i've spared myself the dildo image 🤣 even if not the name and description ha

[formal goblet]

There was also something in the file browser itself to block certain paths

[normal ore]

Hellooo!

So, I have quite a few to insert into my template sheet. I saw that the Custom System Builder has an API, but I must admit I didn’t quite understand it (my own shortcoming, of course!). I need to perform a bulk insertion, for example, of multiple checkboxes. Does anyone have an example using the API that I can follow?

[sinful spade]

Not sure if this is something that can be truly described as a bug, or just how css works, but if you place a label in a panel that's aligned right, the label floats right (as it should)
but if a number field will only float the text right rather than the container itself. This isn't noticeable when the container is set to auto and takes up all available space - but rather when you set the size to something such as small.

mana overflow set to label:
vs numberfield smaller.

[sinful spade]

General question,

But how is everyone handling equipt items and inventory?? I realized what I had wasn't going to work, and 5e's system seems too complicated to make in CSB. 😩

[low tulip]

could you make an item modifier do lookup() on the "Equipped" column of the inventory item displayer table, then make that equipped column a checkbox? Then basically do the item modifier on let's say the armor as "if(checkbox) {}"

[formal goblet]

I just store all predefined Items in a Compendium with their modifiers.

[sinful spade]

the getting a modifer to only work if equipt is the difficult bit, no idea how that would be accomplished

[sinful spade]

I meant within a charactersheet.
how can i distinguish the leather armor they're wearing from the leather armor they looted?
Both use armor tempaltes so using an armor item container (what i did) is out

[low tulip]

hmm I can't even get item modifiers to work at all 😄

[sinful spade]

i've been playing with them for a bit if you need some help? I can only do always on or off ones currently

[formal goblet]

I have a checkbox with equipped in the Item, that determines, if an Armor is actually equipped or not. If not, you can make it display in the Inventory Displayer instead

[sinful spade]

So are all items in your inventory actually items? and I assume the container just takes all item types that aren't like a race or something?

[formal goblet]

Yeah

[sinful spade]

i haven't messed with conditionals within items yet - got any leads on how to make it 1.) have stats apply when equip and 2.) change it to the equipt tab rather than just inventory?

[ashen turtle]

Copying from the readme, you'd want to use na equipped checkbox and use this conditional:

You can add conditions to your formulas using the ternary operator : <condition> ? <value if true> : <value if false>.

You can directly use the key of a checkbox to test it is checked

Example : ${ checkboxKey ? 'Checked' : 'Not checked' }$

On another note from a newbie, are radio buttons not supposed to be sticky? I have one on a sheet but whenever I open and close it or change anything else it resets to default.

[sinful spade]

I see so build the condition in to check if the checkbox is true... 🤔 i can try and see what i get after a bit. I've used something similar for a visibility check, though that's simpler than item mods

[formal goblet]

Are your values in your Radio Buttons distinct from each other?

[formal goblet]

The Item Filter Formula in the Displayer decides, which Items should be displayed there. The formula has access to the properties of the Item, so a simple item.checkBoxKey is usually enough (or not(item.checkBoxKey) for the negation)

[sinful spade]

oh sweet!

[shy osprey]

Admitting my computer skillz suck I turn to community to help. I need simple roll button to take a skill value (number) from the same row, ask for skill modifiers and apply them to the skill value, roll d100 and if it is same or under the modified skill it is a success, otherwise a failure.
If you are able to point to a downloadable sheet with similar functions that is also appreciated very much.

[formal goblet]

${[1d100] <= sameRow('skillValue') + modifiers ? 'Success' : 'Failure'}$

[robust vessel]

Heyo! Im new to Foundry and was trying to implement my game system through CSB.
My question is: Is it possible to fetch a checkbox and label component key that are under the current panel?

Im trying to automate my character sheet but it is tedious to keep copy and pasting all the time

[formal goblet]

The panel is irrelevant in terms of property data

[robust vessel]

it is because i have a lot of panels with the almost exact code, and i wanted to get the specific for each one

example:

so, instead of writing the checkXXX and modXXX everytime, i wanted to get it from that panel check and label component keys directly

[formal goblet]

I see what you mean, but meh. I'm sure you could get the children of each panel with the CSB-API, but that's a bit tedious

[robust vessel]

wdym?

[formal goblet]

Something along the line like %{entity.componentMap['panelKey'].content...}%. Can't tell the specifics right now, but it should be achievable with JS.

[robust vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-food-cat-eating-food-astonished-cat-cat-staring-at-camera-gif-1110664646001368558

could you explain like you are talking to a 5yo? I'm a newbie to coding related stuff

[formal goblet]

Well, you won't come far without coding to be fair

[robust vessel]

i know the basics and a some c#, but anything beyond that is far from my reach

[formal goblet]

Because this functionality is not directly available in normal Formulas, because Panels are not part of the system properties normal Formulas have access to

[robust vessel]

so I would have to look up some JS to implement what I what thinking?

[robust vessel]

i get the gist of this, like, searching for the components inside the entity with the panelKey id. correct?

[formal goblet]

Yup

The child components should be in the content property, which I think is an Array.

But there might still be an issue because of the missing self reference

[robust vessel]

if this were to theoretically work, where would this JS code go, inside the formula as usual?

[formal goblet]

%{}% instead of ${}$. That's it

[robust vessel]

what do you mean by self reference? like, where it is searching?

[dense pine]

would like to create a party actor template to track HP and Wounds of my players. Wounds are created as items in my world. is it even possible to fetch+display items from different actors?

[ashen turtle]

I was about to ask the same question! This would also be useful to invoke assorted centralized tables

[formal goblet]

Either with fetchFromActor('actorName', "lookup(...)") or with a Script

[ashen turtle]

Ooh, nice

so if I'm doing a quickbuild thing for NPCs I can just have a table of stats for different levels

[low tulip]

you can't add checkbox elements as a column on item displayers. How would you go about making it display on the item displayer?

[formal goblet]

Does this answer the question? https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Tips-&-Tricks/Checkbox-in-Item-Containers

[low tulip]

sure does, thanks

this is kind of cursed though

[formal goblet]

Hahahah

I actually forgot about that one

here you go ❤️

[brittle moth]

Spoiler alert : There are no new instructions for this feature, this is supposed to work exactly like adding an item to an actor, so... no changes in the docs

[sinful spade]

so is this so you could say add arrows to a quiver or?

[brittle moth]

Arrows to a quiver, sleeping bag to a backpack, enchantment to a sword, 4x scope to a rifle... you name it :p

[sinful spade]

oh -shit o3o adventuring packs!

that's friggin awesome

thanks link 😄

(and martin <3)

[brittle moth]

Don't thank me now, thank me after testing it and discovering the bugs that are surely hanging around :p

[formal goblet]

How many ghouls were sacrificed to make this work?

[brittle moth]

Something like 155 ghouls, 1650 doves, 2 or 3 ant colonies and a dozen virgins

[sinful spade]

actually i have a weird question

i've been ripping appart the 5e charactersheet for how to make certain elements look good

and they've used SVG borders around their skills - that's something I'd like to do as well - but how could i inject that html around a dynamic table?

a panel cant house html right?

a snapshot of what they did:
it's a filigree box tag (that i didn't know existed) with 8 svgs - one for each corner and wall

[formal goblet]

What the actual f is a filigree-box?

[sinful spade]

🤣 i mean a overly decorated box

but idk what the tag does

[formal goblet]

That seems to be a custom tag

[sinful spade]

.. that's possible? 😱

[brittle moth]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-spongebob-imagination-rainbow-happy-gif-4596954

everything's possible with imagination

[sinful spade]

i mean i understand waht it's doing
i just dont know how to recreate it.

Basically makes 4 corners of SVG images, and 4 walls - the walls stretch as the character sheet scales so you get a consistent decorative border

[formal goblet]

I think the standard allows that, although the use cases for that are... uh... usually for frameworks?

[sinful spade]

the gold border around the skills, tools, and saving throws

[brittle moth]

Framework or bypassing classes for CSS I guess

[brittle moth]

I think you can achieve the same kind of thing by using CSS after:: or before:: pseudo-classes, and setting a custom HTML content in these
But I have no example for you

[formal goblet]

You can set HTML in CSS? What the hell?

[sinful spade]

i've seen that before, rare usecase

wait no i think im mistaken

[humble sonnet]

wonder if it's possible to build an entire website within a stylesheet

[sinful spade]

i've seen css in html 🤣

[brittle moth]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/::before

[robust vessel]

ive beaten my head all day trying to figure it out, i guess ill go for the hard way, typing

[brittle moth]

it's possible, and it's been done ! I believe some people even made full games with only CSS (a little bit of HTML but no JS)

[sinful spade]

no JS sounds like music to my ears

[formal goblet]

That sounds like a nightmare to me 🤣

[sinful spade]

a large part of why i'm avoiding making items is because i know macros will be after.
i'm terrified. I've never once made a single functioning JS statement lol

even copying from online - always broken 😦

[sinful spade]

well I'm officially out of CSS styling I can reasonably do 🤣 I guess it's really time to suck it up

[formal goblet]

You misspelled "Shield"

[sinful spade]

🤣 thanks
i'm shocked that you're the first to notice that too - i've had the players come in and do input rounds 3 times now.

[sinful spade]

i'm cleaning up some of my unused templates after reorganizing how items will be handled - and i accidently deleted one before removing an item that uses it in the character sheet. Now I keep getting warnings about it - how can i delete the item from the character sheet if I can't see it?

[formal goblet]

Use a Displayer without any filters

[sinful spade]

i ended up having to use a console command 😩

had GPT generate it using the wiki - seems to have worked

[worthy bolt]

how could i import item data for the sheet?

So like, if an item gives me 2 Cha and then i have this item Equipped (checkbox), how would it be like?

[dense pine]

can these new "sub-items" modify variables from their parent item or only from the owning actor as before? or maybe both?

[brittle moth]

An item can only modify values of its direct parent. For instance, an enchantment on a sword would only be able to modify the sword's stats, not the actor's

[worthy bolt]

How do i fix the default value is not working?

Everytime i create an new actor it just doesnt get the default value that it should get

[formal goblet]

Default value based on the key

[low tulip]

that looks great! Looks very well put together and aesthetically pleasing. Here's my work in progress:

[sinful spade]

Thanks 😩💀 spent most of yesterday getting ready for items to be added.

Hey it looks like you're almost done already

[low tulip]

idk I think yours looks way better tbh, plus I have to wait for the system to release, right now I don't know what the character sheets look like, nor what items and stuff works like, so I can't implement everything yet

[sinful spade]

Wait is ff14 going to release a ttrpg rule set?

[low tulip]

yeah that's why I'm doing all of this, I figured no one's gonna make a real foundryvtt system for the system (definitely not an official one seeing as how restrictive squenix is with the license), so I'm doing this instead

https://www.square-enix-shop.com/ffxivttrpg/en/

[low tulip]

it releases february

[sinful spade]

I think you're massively underrating the foundry community haha. It probably won't be quick but it'll be out in a year or so

[low tulip]

well yeah but I want to play it right as it releases

[sinful spade]

fair enough lol

[manic crypt]

Is it possible to have a dropdown in the query for a roll message chatcard? As in, I have: ${#?{Modifier:'Skill Roll Modifier'[number]|0}}$ but I'd like to have a dropdown in the prompt to select a (static elsewhere) key used for determining which attribute would be used for the roll.

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder#481-simple-prompts

[prisma anvil]

This is probably really simple, but if I want to reference a key from an active character sheet in a macro, how do I do that? I managed to get it to work from a token, but I don't want be using tokens

[formal goblet]

What exactly would be an active character sheet?

[prisma anvil]

The character/actor sheet that the player clicks the button on to activate the macro.

Basically had to build a dice roller macro as the foundry dice don't support the ruleset I'm using. Now I'm trying to make a version of it that references the character sheet, rather than entering every variable manually

[formal goblet]

Then this: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Guides/Formula-System#334-calling-macros

[prisma anvil]

Just to make sure I understand, in the example, the formula will execute the macro, and the macro will recognise "strength" to be whatever the strength key points to on the actor sheet?

[formal goblet]

There are 2 Formula types

• %{}% -> Script
• ${}$ -> regular Formula

The innermost is executed first an passes the result to the outer one

There's also the entity-object in Scripts, which holds all relevant contextual information (e.g. the current actor)

But yeah, these passed arguments become available in the Macro

[coarse gale]

Hi Martin, ich habe auch eine Frage zu einem Würfelwurf als switchCase abhängig von einer Dropdown-Box

Das funktionert, aber er rollt immer alle 5 möglichen Würfel

[formal goblet]

Ist korrekt, da die inneren Formeln (in diesem Fall Roll-Formeln) immer vorher ausgeführt werden

[coarse gale]

Wie kann ich es lösen, dass der immer nur entsprechend der ausgewählten Option (1,2,3) würfelt

Also ohne Vorteil - 1 Würfel geworfen, Mit Vorteil 2 Würfel geworfen und den Max

[formal goblet]

Müsstest hier im Verlauf nen Beispiel von mir finden, wie man am besten normal, advantage und disadvantage einfügt.

[coarse gale]

Ok, danke dir

Ich such mal

Ich denke ich habe es gefunden.

${#roll_formula:= concat(string(2 + amount), 'd10', switchCase(style, 'a', 'kh2', 'kl2'))}$
${[:roll_formula:] + str}$

${#roll_formula:= concat(string(2 + amount), 'd10', switchCase(style, 'a', 'kh2', 'kl2'))}$
${[:roll_formula:] + str}$

Vorher die Formel zusammen stellen?

[formal goblet]

Im Grunde genommen ja

[coarse gale]

Dickes Doppeldanke für die irrsinnig schnelle Reaktion!!!!

[coarse gale]

${#wuerfelanz:= switchCase(wuerfel_option,'1',1,2)}$
${#roll_formula:=concat(anfuehren_wert,'+', string(wuerfelanz), 'd20', switchCase(wuerfel_option, '2', 'kh', '3','kl',''))}$
${[:roll_formula:]}$

Das funktioniert

[prisma anvil]

Took me a bit, but I worked out this out. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction

[coarse gale]

This meas, that if i want to reuse functions, etc. I need to write macros that i can pass parameters from scripts or formulas?

[formal goblet]

Macros, or you import the functions into the math-object: https://mathjs.org/examples/import.js.html

[sinful spade]

Hey Martin

I copied this code right out of the wiki

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Tips-&-Tricks/Checkbox-in-Item-Containers

changed the item.ComponentKey to match what i'm using
but when i click the checkbox it just sends 'true' to chat no matter how many times i clicked it.
Console shows a NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED

[formal goblet]

I hope you also have a Checkbox Component in the Item itself

[sinful spade]

I do lol but it's probably something simple like that tbh

[formal goblet]

Looks fine. Which version?

[sinful spade]

of csb? 4.2.0

Sorry sorry!

i fixed it

the roll message setPropertyInEntity 'equipped' needed to be the key

that's on me lmfao

[neat temple]

Hey, it's my first time using CSB and I'm having a problem (it's probably something silly that I don't know about). I would like to get a cell in the table with the player entering a value in a number field
lookup(${dynamic_pate}$, ${dyn_pate_name}$, ${dyn_pate_value}$, ${pontosdeprestigio}$, '>')

[formal goblet]

${lookup('dynamic_pate', 'dyn_pate_name', 'dyn_pate_value', pontodeprestigio, '>')}$

[neat temple]

Ok, thanks

[heavy elm]

Merry Christmas,

is it possible to add an key to a Itemmodifier with a lookupRef? I dont understand why

${fetchFromActor('attached', "lookupRef('Skills', 'Mod', 'Name', CustomKey')")}$

isnt working. Of course the component CustomKey is within the item-sheet.

[formal goblet]

Change CustomKey' to '${CustomKey}$'

Everything within "" runs in the context of the target-Actor, that's why you have to "bail out" with a sub-Formula to be able to fetch props of the Item instead (or you concat your formula together beforehand)

[spark lotus]

Hi! I'm trying to figure out a good way to build a function within a character sheet that allows a player to enter in a trait value and a hazard level and then percentile dice would be rolled and compared to relevant percentage value from the chart below would be referenced and a success or fail result returned. I know how to have players enter in the values and how roll the dice and output the results. What I could use help with are ideas on how to translate the table into CSB. Anyone have any suggestions? Any ideas would be appreciated.

[formal goblet]

I'd use a Dynamic Table in a global Actor (which acts as a configuration point for lookup-tables and such). Then in the target Actor I'd use a script to fetch the right row with the right column (because CSB doesn't have a range-lookup atm).

[spark lotus]

Thank you! This is very helpful. I was stumped on a starting point and this helps.

[worthy sand]

Hi there! I need some help from someone experienced with Custom System Builder.

I’m trying to set up a system where the roll changes based on the number in the "external_score" field. Here's the formula I tried:

${[
{external_score: 0, roll: "2d10kl1"},
{external_score: 1, roll: "2d10kh1"},
{external_score: 2, roll: "3d10kh1"},
{external_score: 3, roll: "4d10kh1"}
].lookup(external_score).roll()}
(ChatGPT helped me with this, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work.)

What I’m aiming for:

• If the external_score is 0, it should roll 2d10kl1 (two dice, keep the lowest).
• If the score is 1, it should roll 2d10kh1 (two dice, keep the highest).
• For score 2, roll 3d10kh1 (three dice, keep the highest).
• For score 3, roll 4d10kh1 (four dice, keep the highest).
  :external_score:
  This is the component key for the number field.

If anyone has suggestions or has tackled something similar, I’d greatly appreciate your input. I’ll make sure to update this post if I find a solution. Thanks in advance!

[formal goblet]

${#roll_formula:= external_score == 0 ? '2d10kl1' : concat(string(external_score - 1), 'd10kh1')}$
${[:roll_formula:]}$

ChatGPT can't really help without context btw, because this is not written in Javascript

[worthy sand]

I just changed the "- 1" to "+ 1" and now does it perfect thanks

[formal goblet]

Ah yeah, slight mistake

[sick cedar]

Hello! I have a question about the Item displayers.

For context: I have created a section in the character sheets where the players can add the weapons they will use with an Item displayer. The thing is, only one of those weapons can be in use at any time, so only the selected weapon will apply the item modifiers to the character sheet while all the others are ignored.

Is it possible to add a check to the item displayer or any other way to achieve this result?

Thanks in advance!

[formal goblet]

You need a Checkbox in the Item itself, that indicates, if it is equipped or not. By that, you can apply your modifiers conditionally.

You can simulate a Checkbox in the Item Displayer, but the single source of truth is still the item: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Tips-&-Tricks/Checkbox-in-Item-Containers

[sick cedar]

Ah, sweet! So it was actually easier than expected. Thanks!

[low tulip]

Guys I have a problem, I don't know what to put in the big blank space in the centre

[formal goblet]

A Chocobo

[low tulip]

just a picture of a chocobo looking right at the camera, judging you

I settled on expanding the hp mana space

[low tulip]

Question, can you specify a specific type of sheet in your css? I'm trying to edit the profile picture of the character sheet but the image in the item sheets has the exact same path. Can I specify only actor sheets or only item sheets somehow?

or maybe use the template used as a class?

[vocal sorrel]

You could potentially just check if the sheet has certain classes in it.
.character {...} - if you want it to be all character sheet.
.character:has(.specific-class) {...} - if you want to select a character sheet that has this class.
I even have a special field on my character sheet that gives the sheet a "type". Its a label that is defined by a text-field, so the only thing I need to do is write:
.character:has(.Type_Selector [value="1"]) {...} - it will limit it to the one I have this type in.

Its a really jank way, but it works.

[low tulip]

good shout that worked

[low tulip]

css is always jank

[vocal sorrel]

Agreed. But without CSS my sheet looks like spaghetti.

If you are using the ".character:has(.specific-class)" method, I recommend taking a look into CSS Nesting, if you don't already know what that is.

[low tulip]

can you add an image tag into the label content of a dropdown somehow?

[heavy elm]

Is it possible to use formulars with conditions in itemmodifiers formular? Like:

${fetchFromActor('attached', "LP_Mod") > 1 ? 2 : 0}$

Because this doesnt work for me and I cant figure out why.

[heavy elm]

nvm I just figured out that my values are smaller than 0 and thats why they didnt work 😅

[robust vessel]

how can i change a meter color?

[static cargo]

I wouldn't mind knowing too... if it can be.

My tokens won't use this for their hp meter bar. It's available to select, but doesn't even show zeros. Is it because both values are contained in Labels?

[formal goblet]

The Token should have a read-only bar if you have selected the ressource

[formal goblet]

CSS is the key to basically every styling-question

[static cargo]

So, there 'should' be a non-manual bar above this token then?

[formal goblet]

Yep

[static cargo]

What about the fact that both labels' values are calculations could that be causing issues?

AbsCurHP(Label) = hpCur + hpTemp - hpIncurable; hpMax = hpNormMax + hpTemp;

[formal goblet]

Dunno, would need to look at the code. But you can test that by using non-labels instead

[static cargo]

So I made AltAbsCurHP as a Number and tried to make attributeBar.hp_Meter work, but no change, however... Basing the resource on AltAbsCurHP (With the Max Value set) worked. I'll have to make a script that lines up AltAbs... with Abs... that I can run periodically, but it's a good band-aid.

[runic condor]

Hey Guys! Its been a bit since I've used CSB and I need a refresher on how I'd make a dropdown attribute skill selector.

"${ClassSkillName}$ Test: ${[2D6]+AttributeSTR}$" is what I have now, but I want a dropdown to change "AttributeSTR" to whichever attribute I have selected in the key "ClassSkillStat"

I know you can do conditionals but I cant remember how they work or where they are in the documentation.

[static cargo]

As far as conditional things goes, I believe this works:

... (LogicalTest?ValueIfTrue:ValueIfFalse) ...

[runic condor]

If it was a dropdown with 4 options what would that look like?

I tried this and it wasnt working (ClassSkillStat ? "DEX" : "AttributeDEX" , "STR" : "AttributeSTR" , etc...)

[static cargo]

Theorhetically.... (ClassSkillStat == "DEX" ? AttributeDEX : (ClassSkillStat == "STR" ? AttributeSTR : (ClassSkillStat = "next" ? AttributeNext : AttributeLast)))

Don't loose count of your closing parentheses at the end...

If there's ever only the four options you can save yourself a logical test for Last.

[runic condor]

Yea this a simple game Im prototyping, its only got 4 Attributes

[runic condor]

Wound up finding a simpler solution: ${ClassSkillName}$ Test: ${[2D6]+${concat("Attribute",ClassSkillStat)}$}$

[grim vector]

I tried debug drawing and it kept creating drawings with no Points. How can I delete them? And how do I properly debug draw in an area to make sure the points I have are correct?

[grim vector]

Ah, there's a delete drawings button lol, so that's one problem down

[grim vector]

Now I'm trying to access the "#fixedPoints" I don't want to change them, I just want to use them as reference for other shapes, but because they're private, code can't even see them- unless there's a method I can't find (I've been looking for the past half hour)

Unless there's a cleaner way, gonna have to make my own class with the shape in it, huh? This'll be a fun learning experience

[formal goblet]

${ref(concat('Attribute', ClassSkillStat))}$

[sick cedar]

Can someone offer some insight regarding a weird situation I´ve encountered?

I have the following code inside a "Label roll message"
${round(pc_totalmagicpower*item.item_damage*damageModifier)}$ ${#currentMana:=pc_mana-item.item_manause}$ Mana left: ${setPropertyInEntity('self', 'pc_mana', "currentMana")}$ ${#setPropertyInEntity('item', 'item_usesleft', "item.item_usesleft-1")}$

Essentially, this casts a spell from an Item displayer subtracting some mana from the character and reducing the spell uses left by 1. This works as expected.

However, originally I had the statements reversed, meaning that I first reduced the spell uses and then subtracted the mana and after using it sometimes it didn´t subtract the mana. Any idea why that happened so I can have it in mind in the future?

[sick cedar]

Welp, in the end it was that I didn´t link the sheet to the token Mystery solved.

[low tulip]

How are y'all going about making abilities and spells that can be used to deal damage etc... ?

[mighty shard]

is anyone else having issues trying to roll in the example character sheet? I try to roll the dice in the skill tab but I get this error

[formal goblet]

This issue doesn't seem to be related with CSB

Which versions are you using?

[vocal sorrel]

Hi, is it possible to limit the amount of items on a sheet by type? Either by which template they are or anything else? Lets say I have class trait (that is made from an item template) that the player can only have one of on the sheet and the sheet won't accept any other class traits, is that possible?

[formal goblet]

Only with a World Script, which listens to the createEmbeddedDocuments-Hook

https://foundryvtt.wiki/en/basics/world-scripts

[vocal sorrel]

Thanks a bunch! I don't know JS at all but I'll figure it out probably :D

[mighty shard]

latest stable release

[mighty shard]

Alright its definitely something on my end. I was able to roll it fine when Foundry is running on my Windows PC but its not working on my Raspberry Pi setup

[formal goblet]

There's more than that. I'm also running a server on a Pi. But yeah, not directly related to the system itself

[mighty shard]

Deleted my Foundry directive and reinstalled and its working now for reasons that will never be explained

[robust vessel]

how can I make a visibility formula that checks for a custom key inside a dropdown?

[formal goblet]

equalText(classe, 'lutador')

[robust vessel]

thx!

Sorry to bother, but i could use some knowledge.

I have a mana refinement mechanic, and I wanted so that the when 'Mana Refinada' went up, 'Atual' went down at real time, but it only update the MP (first bar) when i pass the mouse over 'Atual'.

[formal goblet]

That's due to the nature of Input Field values, that simply cannot depend on other values

[robust vessel]

sadge

is there other way to implement this?

one that reacts as a change

[formal goblet]

Labels would auto-update, but cannot be changed by users

[robust vessel]

I think i could place a label visible only to moderators

nah, that wouldnt work, i need Atual to go down too

[formal goblet]

Maybe you could script something. You'd need to listen to the changes-event and fix your values based on certain conditions. But that requires some work ofc

[ashen turtle]

I'm not 100% if this is doable, but: what's the method (if any) to use a sheet roll with parameters? E.g. have a macro that rolls the "attack" label from a sheet but sets a local variable of the rollmessage to a certain value beforehand

[formal goblet]

https://custom-system-builder.gitlab.io/custom-system-builder/classes/formulas_ComputablePhrase.ComputablePhrase.html#computeMessage

The 2nd argument defines the properties, that should be used for the computation. You can simply merge your own props and you should be good. Just don't forget to call postMessage() afterwards (see here: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Tips-&-Tricks/Handling-Dice-Pools)

Actually, forget the first link. Everything should be doable just with the second link

[robust vessel]

Im trying to change the meter fill bars, but it doesnt seem to work, anyone has an idea why?

.custom-system-meter-fill {
    background-color: red;
    color: red;
    

}

[formal goblet]

Maybe a collision with our class-definition? Does it work with important?

[robust vessel]

as in

.important
  color: red;

?

it works in the f12, but not on Custom Css

[low tulip]

no as in

.custom-system-meter-fill {
  background-color: red !important;
}

[robust vessel]

nicee, that did it

is there a way to change fill bars individualy?

[low tulip]

individually as in each bar?

[robust vessel]

yep

[low tulip]

give the bar a component key and then do

.mybar .custom-system-meter-fill {
  background-color: red !important;
}

and if you have more:

.mybar .custom-system-meter-fill, .mybar2 .custom-system-meter-fill, .mybar3 .custom-system-meter-fill {
  background-color: red !important;
}

[robust vessel]

thx a lot

that you pillows always be on the cold side

[low tulip]

if you want to change the style of the entire bar and not just the fill section then it's .custom-system-meter

[low tulip]

Reading about it, I think you could simplify this with something like

:is(.mybar, .mybar2, .mybar3) .custom-system-meter-fill {
  background-color: red !important;
}

Though I'm not certain that it'll work

yep, it sure does work

[low tulip]

Anyone got any tips about this question from earlier?

I was thinking I could make a label with just a roll icon as a column in the item displayer table that players can click in order to use the weapon / ability / spell but I'm not sure how to write the roll message

[formal goblet]

The example template has such a feature

[low tulip]

where do I find the example template

[formal goblet]

You can install it as a module: https://gitlab.com/martin1522/custom-system-builder-example

[low tulip]

ah, thanks!

[low tulip]

%{let roll = await new Roll('${item.damage}$').evaluate(); await roll.toMessage({flavor:'${item.name}$'});}%

%{let directroll = await new Roll('${item.directhit}$+${item.damage}$').evaluate(); await directroll.toMessage({flavor:'Direct Hit'});}%

So I have this roll message looking up item damage and the damage for a direct hit, written like this it results in two chat cards like so:

is there anyway to have that written in a way that consolidates it to one chat card?

[formal goblet]

• https://gitlab.com/Freeze020/foundry-vtt-scripts/-/blob/master/api-examples/chat-message.js
• https://foundryvtt.com/api/interfaces/foundry.types.ChatMessageData.html

[runic condor]

Struggling with getting this visibility formula right. I want it to show if ClassName is ClassMage OR ClassCleric

Currently this works but I dont know how to add the OR

[sick cedar]

or() (2 inputs): If one of both values is true, it will return true, otherwise false

[runic condor]

how do you separate the inputs?

[sick cedar]

With a comma ,

[runic condor]

Ah I capitalized OR and that didnt work. Thanks!

[low tulip]

%{
  let roll = await new Roll('${item.damage}$').evaluate();
  let directroll = await new Roll('${item.directhit}$+${item.damage}$').evaluate();
  ChatMessage.create({
    rolls:,
    flavor:'${item.name}$'
});
}%

I've been at it for a bit but just can't figure out what I'm supposed to be doing. I don't know if you could perhaps point me in the right direction?

I can't figure out if it's possible to send several rolls to the same message

[formal goblet]

You didn't pass anything to rolls. If we look in the API, it says that it expects an Array of strings. The description says:

Serialized content of any Roll instances attached to the ChatMessage

I don't know which function is needed to serialize a roll (maybe a simple toString() is enough). If you need further help, ask in the https://discord.com/channels/170995199584108546/699750150674972743 - channel, because this here is related to the core-functionality of Foundry and doesn't really involve CSB (except the Script delimiters %{}%, which is CSB-specific)

[low tulip]

okay I've given up on the foundry chatmessage styling for now as I'm getting nowhere with it and am trying to follow the example template instead. In the example template for weapon attack rolls they use this
${#?{Dice_Modifier:'Attack Modifier'[number]|0}}$
to execute a dialog popup before rolling with the roll message but I can't find any documentation on it. How would I write that if I want several rows within the dialog?
in essence this but in one dialog popup instead of two:

${#?{Dice_Modifier:'Attack Modifier'[number]|0}}$
${#?{Damage_Modifier:'Damage Modifier'[number]|0}}$

[formal goblet]

${#concat(string(?{Dice_Modifier:'Attack Modifier'[number]|0}), string(?{Damage_Modifier:'Damage Modifier'[number]|0}))}$

[low tulip]

I see, I'd never even heard of the word 'concatenate' before

thanks a bunch

I'm also actually wondering about adding image elements to the roll message, is there a way to make the img tag read the datapath string from this?
<th><img src='${item.img}$' width="48px" height="48px"> ${item.name}$</th>

I thought the ${}$ would do it but nope

[formal goblet]

<th><img src='${!%{return linkedEntity.img;}%}$' width="48px" height="48px"> ${item.name}$</th>

[low tulip]

yeah ok I would never have gotten to that conclusion, thanks

[formal goblet]

img is not part of the standard props the system provides, so you have to refer to a script. And you also have to use ! at the beginning to remove the <span></span>-wrapper

[low tulip]

oh is that what the !does, that makes sense!

Can you change Controls Style using simple promts for dialogs like above, or does that require a custom user input template?

[formal goblet]

Custom Input Template

[low tulip]

thanks for all of the informed answers, I'm really trying to figure it out on my own but there's a lot to learn

[shy osprey]

If anyone is able to provide assistance, it would be great. I would like to get the hit location from the "ones" die of a d100 roll (0=head, 1=left arm etc) used to make the attack roll.
I was able to copy/edit/paste from other systems the basic of the attack roll as follows:
${#?{Difficulty|0}}}$
<h3>Hangdguns</h3>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Target score:</td>
<td>${target:=handgunsValue+Difficulty}$</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Roll :</td>
<td>${roll:=[1d100]}$ -- ${roll <= target ? (roll == target ? 'Critical!' : (roll % 11 == 0 ? 'Critical!' : 'Success')) : (roll % 11 == 0 ? 'Fumble!' : 'Failure')}$</td>
</tr>
<tr>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
So doubles are fumble or critical but I would like to get the hit location as well.
Any help appreciated!

[formal goblet]

switchCase(roll % 10, 0, 'Head', 1, 'Left Arm', ...)

[coarse gale]

Hi Martin, das mit dem Makro wie bei euch beschrieben, funktioniert einwandfrei. Damit kann ich ja den Code, den ich ansonsten dupliziere, reinpacken.

${#roll_formula:= %{return await game.macros.getName('VorteilNachteilWurf').execute({fertigkeitswert: ${wert}$, wuerfelOption:${wuerfel_option}$});}%}$
${[:roll_formula:]}$

Ich habe jetzt so ein recht einfaches Sheet für ein neues Rollenspiel gemacht (Midgard 6). Kann ich das jetzt denn anderen interessierten zukommen lassen?

Und wie kann ich den gewürfelten Schaden nun auf einen Gegner anwenden?

[formal goblet]

Am besten erstellst du ein Modul dafür. Kannst dir ein Beispiel hieran nehmen: https://gitlab.com/martin1522/custom-system-builder-example. Oder hier: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/merge_requests/80#note_2219021940

[formal goblet]

Mit setPropertyInEntity() (darf aber aufgrund von Berechtigungen nur der GM)

[coarse gale]

Aber wie komme ich an den gewürfelten Schaden ran? Muss ich da die ChatMessages abfragen?

[formal goblet]

Gibt da mehrere Optionen, aber kannst auch direkt in der Chat Message speichern und abfragen. Nur wie du das machst, ist dann deine Sache. Da hab ich jetzt keine vorgefertigte Lösung parat

[coarse gale]

aaah, ich kann das Würfelergebnis ja direkt wieder verwenden:

${result:=[:roll_formula:]}$

Damit kann ich dann in das nächste Makro und rum wursteln

Anyone know if there is a way to set a template so that it's svg image is always set for any item made using the image?

Using the template rather.

[formal goblet]

You need a world script, the template itself has no functionality for that

[marble mural]

Is that something I add to the css? Or something else?

[formal goblet]

No, real Javascript

https://foundryvtt.wiki/en/basics/world-scripts

[marble mural]

Ah gotcha...I'll just keep doing it manually then.

[lament acorn]

Hello there!

I’ve been working on creating a dropdown menu connected to a label in my application. Here’s how it’s supposed to function:

When no option is selected, the label should roll 1d20.
When the number 1 is selected, it should roll 2d20 and display only the highest result.
When the number 0 is selected, it should roll 2d20 and display only the lowest result.
The formula I’ve implemented works as intended for the logic. However, when I try to use Dice So Nice!, I notice that it rolls 5 dice instead of only the necessary ones.

Could someone help me refine the formula so it rolls only the required dice for each case? That would be amazing!

Thanks in advance for your help!

<p><span style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold;">O valor do dado foi:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 25px; font-weight: bold;"> ${switchCase(destreza_nivel,'vazio',[1d20],'um',max([1d20],[1d20]),'zero',min([1d20],[1d20]))}$</span></p>

[marble mural]

Can someone help me with this line of formula, where item.attr is the radio button group, and the radio button keys are str, either, and dex. I'm trying to set up a setting that selects either strmod or dexmod on the sheet depending on which is selected in the weapon item:

(ref(item.attr)==str?strmod:(ref(item.attr)==dex?dexmod:(strmod>=dexmod?strmod:dexmod)))

[formal goblet]

Use equalText() to compare string-values for equality

And keep in mind, that the Radio Button Group returns the value of the selected Radio Button, not the component key

[marble mural]

Yeah that's what I was figuring, but the value is text. I'll try with equaltext if I can figure out where to put it.

[formal goblet]

You replace the comparison operator with it, because you're trying to compare your result

[sick cedar]

Quick question: I have a formula that does a couple of rolls and then reads some attributes from the target token.

As a DM the formula works fine but then as a player I get an error "user lacks permission to update actordelta in parent token" unless I set the permissions of the token as owner for the players.

Is there a way to circumvent this?

[marble mural]

Like so?
equalText(item.attr,'Strength'?

[formal goblet]

Exactly

[marble mural]

Roger.

[formal goblet]

Not a direct way. The request to update an Actor must go through a GM if the players lacks the permission for it

And CSB doesn't offer that, so you need your own solution

[marble mural]

Hmmm...not quite there, getting [0,0] result, but at least now it isn't an error.

[sick cedar]

Alright then! Thanks anyways!

[lament acorn]

It's working perfectly now! Thanks!

[hardy fern]

How to properly format an if statement to check if a checkbox is checked?

[formal goblet]

${checkboxKey ? 'true' : 'false'}$

[hardy fern]

Hmm... That seems familiar to one of the things I asked a good while ago... Where was it...

Thank you very much yet again! 🫀

[hardy fern]

To follow up... Is there some other/cleaner way to just have various options, not just boolean one or the other other than just stacking these "ifs" together?

Kinda like...
If X is less than 5 do This
If it's between 5 and 10 do That
If it's greater than 10 do Those
etc.

[formal goblet]

Maybe with a lookup table and a little script, which can perform a range-lookup. Besides that, you have to resort to nested conditionals logically.

[hardy fern]

I didn't mean "This" "That" and "Those" as like... Things that are placed somewhere for the script to lookup. I meant those as static code snippets written out like if you were to go: If X is 1 to 5 send 24
If X is between 5 and 10 send 37 etc.

But if that doesn't change the situation then dang, guess I have a lot of nesting to do this winter. 🥲 Thank you very much!

[formal goblet]

You didn't get what lookup tables are meant for I guess. I'll try to grab an example

[hardy fern]

I don't think I use those. 🤔 I'll look into them

[formal goblet]

This e.g.

You have a value x (score) and want to find out, what the corresponding value y (modifier) is.

[hardy fern]

Yes, I understand what a lookup table is. I'm not sure how I could use it though as I currently didn't look into it yet. And is it possible to just have it somewhere on the background so the end user doesn't see it and only the script sees it when it needs to?

[formal goblet]

Yeah, you can create a global Actor, which only holds those tables

If your x and y values are sorted, you could even do the lookup without a script by doing something like fetchFromActor('global', "max(lookup('table', 'y', 'x', ${value}$, '<='))")

[hardy fern]

Hm... I was looking through stuff and I noticed the "Configure hidden attributes". Technically if I filled it with all the stuff I needed and referenced those, I could keep all of it enclosed in a single actor?

[formal goblet]

Depends on your case, but without further context I wouldn't do it this way.

[hardy fern]

Why not? I personally somewhat prefer when things are nicely packed in a way that don't reference outside themselves.

The specific thing is just:
The player has an attribute value. That attribute value goes through some math and it spits out an integer between 0 and 8. And I want that to determine the type of die (Or in some cases a flat value added) that is rolled in an output: 0, +1, d2, d4, d6, d8, d10, d12

[formal goblet]

That example is easy to solve with only 3 different cases, because beginning from the 3rd value, the sequence can be described in a linear function

In this case, I'd refer to a nested if-else

Or even 2

[hardy fern]

The d2 d4 d6 d8 d10 d12 options so far are just a first draft kind of deal. I'm somewhat pondering using different amount of dice instead so I'm looking to have the option to fill out 8 completely different items there.

But anywho, I'll just look into nesting the ifs and if I end up adjusting the system I'll just try to figure that out at a later point. Thank you for your time Martin yet again!

One more thing unrelated to the ifs here:
Is it possible to export a system out of CSB so that it can be used by others as a full standalone system?

[formal goblet]

You can export the templates in the settings tab or you create a compendium with your stuff in it

The example module is basically only a compendium

[hardy fern]

I revised my previous, deleted, question:
${Punching_Fail ? ${setPropertyInEntity('self', 'Punching_Value', 'Punching_Value + 1')}$ : 'Nope'}$
If I'm not mistaken this should be a simple if that checks a checkbox Punching_Fail and if it is checked it should make Punching Value increase by 1 and if it is not checked, it should send a Nope text into the chat log. However, every time it runs, regardless of the state of the checkbox, the formula just increases Punching_Value by 1 every time, regardless if it's checked or not. The only difference is that if it's checked, it will post the incremented number and if not it will post the Nope, but the increase happens either way.

[formal goblet]

Because you have a nested formula. These start from the innermost one

[hardy fern]

https://tenor.com/view/waffles-mousles-scream-prove-for-fuwu-marv-gif-23279388

[formal goblet]

I don't even get why you have a nested formula. The inner one is completely unnecessary

[hardy fern]

What do you mean... In order to permanently adjust the value of another field I need to use the setPropertyInEntity thing, no?

[formal goblet]

Yeah, but the inner formula delimiters are unnecessary

[hardy fern]

And there it goes working exactly as intended once I removed those... 🥲

So if I have the outer formula delimiters any formulas inside the thing don't need their own delimiters and just get recognized wherever they are?

Also how do I print out nothing? Like telling the script "Do not print out/do anything."

[formal goblet]

You could provoke an error 😅

[hardy fern]

When I put absolutely nothing there in the "false" area it prints out ERROR instead which isn't a win either. I want it to do nothing if it's false. 👀 Even tried null or '' which printed out a tiny empty text box.

[formal goblet]

How about 0 / 0 in the false-part?

[hardy fern]

Spits out a NaN

Hmm.... Wait a second...

Isn't this some of that Game Master debug value visibility nonsense again...?

[formal goblet]

Nope

[hardy fern]

Ok, no. Yeah... I have the hidden roles thing disabled.

[formal goblet]

And that shouldn't even return NaN

[hardy fern]

Never thought it'd be difficult to have a program do nothing...

[formal goblet]

Because division through 0 is an error

[hardy fern]

Not in this formula apparently 😅

Hey Martin, I wanted the "Patente" label to be filled with the correct position depending on the "Pontos de Prestígio". If it was between 0 and 19 it should return "Recruta" and so on. But I couldn't find a logic that would work like that, the closest I could come up with was using first() and lookup(), but that just returned the option with the lowest value. I'm still studying the formulas so I'm not sure if that would be a good way.

[formal goblet]

%{return '${lookup('dynamic_pate', 'dyn_pate_name', 'dyn_pate_value', pontosdeprestigio, '<=')}$'.split(',').at(-1);}%

Or ${find('dynamic_pate', 'dyn_pate_name', 'dyn_pate_value', max(lookup('dynamic_pate', 'dyn_pate_value', 'dyn_pate_value', pontosdeprestigio, '<=')))}$

[ornate marsh]

trying to make it so that current hp cant be set higher than max hp, anyone got a clue?

[formal goblet]

Remove the double-dots

[ornate marsh]

you're right!

[ornate marsh]

would it be correct to say: ${max_hp_val, temp_hp_val}$

In an example where i wouldnt want current_hp_val to exceed max or temp hp?

[formal goblet]

Nope, because you don't tell which one of those 2 should be taken into account

[ornate marsh]

I see, just started learning this today

[formal goblet]

x, y is a syntax error, because you didn't specify, what should be done with those values. You can either do:

• x + y: Combined with an operator
• sum(x, y): Part of arguments of a function

[ornate marsh]

Thank you for the clarification, its greatly appreciated

As I scroll through the chat I saw an example of someones custom sheet that looked pretty cool, how are they changing the background and fonts?

[formal goblet]

They used CSS (which is a file, which handles styling)

[ornate marsh]

I'll have to reach out to the guy and ask

[low tulip]

if you don't care to make your own css file you can use the custom css module that lets you edit it inside foundry

the background can be changed with the css statement

.window-app .window-content {
  background: url('filepath')
}

and then edited to your liking using the various css properties you can find by googling such as:

.custom-system-actor-content {
    padding: 90px 80px 90px 20px;
    overflow-y: auto;
    overflow-x: hidden;
    background: url('assets/sheet-foreground.webp'), url('assets/sheet-background.webp');
    background-size: 100% 100%;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-attachment: local;
}

fonts have to be specifically edited either from

:root {
    --font-primary: "fantasy";
}

or in idividual cases by (with the chrome browser) pressing F12 to open the console and pressing 'inspect element' on specific text elements to view their style, and then copying that to your css file and changing it case by case, for example:

.sheet header.sheet-header h1 input {
    border: none;
    font-family: 'modesto condensed';
    background: none;
    font-size: 44px;
    border-bottom: 6px double #d1bea1;
}

you can download your own font files, put them in a folder inside foundry and use them aswell using filepaths.

Hello everyone. I have written a macro (obviously with the help of ChatGPT, since I know nothing about programming) that returns in chat the result of the damage the attacker inflicts on the opponent (basically the damage is obtained as the difference between the attacker's roll and the defender's roll by applying appropriate modifiers to the 20 die) . However, I cannot set up the macro so that on the target's character sheet the value of hit points is automatically updated. The field containing the number of hit points in the character sheet template is of numeric type and I have named its component key as 'custom_hp' . I've made dozens and dozens of attempts, but I just can't figure out what instruction I need to insert inside the macro (which is obviously compiled with the Javascript language and doesn't accept CSB formulas as they would normally be written) to make the hit points on the defender's character sheet progressively decrease as the character takes damage from the attacker. Also, to simulate the healing intervention of a cleric or the effects of rest, how could I tell the macro to consider starting over in the damage count on a new encounter? Can someone kindly help me out here? Thanks!

[formal goblet]

There's one warning I'd like to address before you dive deep into applying damage to enemies. Your players don't have the permission to update actors they don't own. That means, that the final update-request must go through a GM. I have no premade solution for this issue, so you might want to ask in the macro-polo channel.

[hollow crow]

I thank you for your response. It would be sufficient for the automatic update to occur on the PC sheet whenever it takes damage from an NPC, leaving the burden of manually updating NPC hit points to the GM. After all the Master at the permission level can take action on the PC sheet, so this solution should not run into the problem you mentioned...or should it?

[formal goblet]

That would be fine.

Then my next question. Why do you need a Macro? The function setPropertyInEntity() can adjust a value of a target without the need of a Macro

[hollow crow]

Your're right, i know about setPropertyInEntry (read about it on the CSB Github) but, since i'm not into programming, i could not understand how to use it to automatically change the hp on the player' sheet by the amount of damage that my damage macro reports on the chat window.

[formal goblet]

So your Chat Message is generated by a Macro instead of a Label Roll Message?

[hollow crow]

Yes, exactly: the macro contemplates very special cases (e.g. if the attacker gets 20 with the 20 die and the defender gets 1, if only the attacker gets 20 etc. etc.). Also, the damage depends on a particular value relative to that particular weapon (e.g. a sword can inflict a maximum of 8 damage, so the macro limits the amount of damage inflicted depending the weapon the macro refers to). So it would be ideal if the macro (at least on the Master side) also dealt with decreasing the amount of damage on the PC sheet rather than resorting to other formulas or scripts. One macro to rule them all 🙂

[formal goblet]

game.user.targets.forEach(token => token.actor.update({'system.props.custom_hp': token.actor.system.props.custom_hp - damage}));

[hollow crow]

Thanks. I tried to insert your instructions into my macro but with no success. I am giving you the entire macro with your additions placed almost at the end. Maybe I made a mistake where to insert it or there is some other problem. I don't want to waste your time, thanks anyway.

[low tulip]

I'm a bit stuck on a css issue here and was hoping for some inspiration. I'm trying to have the left border of the table be coloured aswell as the header but for one they're overlapping and since I want to use opacity their colour gets overlayed, and secondly the left border is placed outside of the table as it's a border property which means it looks a bit strange with the black 1px top and bottom borders of the table, they end before the pink border. Any suggestions on how I might style it better?

Ideally I'd want to scootch every TR in 8px to the right and fill the space with the background-color but I'm not sure if I can accomplish that

[low tulip]

I kind of got it the way I want it but I had to say goodbye to the black table borders, I couldn't make them extend the way I wanted. I did manage to make the table borders rounded though 🤔

[low tulip]

I tried making an <input> tag in an item displayer column but realized that the number entered into the field doesn't stay, it disappeares again when you update the character sheet. Is there a way around that?

[formal goblet]

You have to save the state in the Item. The Item Displayer itself won't save it

[low tulip]

I see... how would you go about linking the text field to a component key from the item?

[formal goblet]

Dunno, never tried

[low tulip]

same thing with checkboxes?

wait a minute

[formal goblet]

For Checkboxes I have this simple solution: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Tips-&-Tricks/Checkbox-in-Item-Containers

[low tulip]

I did something similar with equipped items actually

yeah exactly that was what I looked at for equipping items! 😄

[formal goblet]

Maybe something like this? https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/blob/develop/src/module/sheets/components/TextField.ts?ref_type=heads#L90

[low tulip]

what I'm trying to accomplish is uses / charges for an item if you happen to have a simpler way of doing those

[formal goblet]

That must be stored in the Item anyway. The mirroring to the Item Displayer is just an additional access option

[low tulip]

yeah

do you know if an empty input field returns undefined, null or something else?

[formal goblet]

Which kind of Input Field?

[low tulip]

number

[formal goblet]

I think undefined

[low tulip]

basically I want to do something like item.uses == not empty ? ${item.uses}$ / ${item.usesMax}$ : ""

so it displays the uses column only on items that actually have numbered uses

I'll try with != undefined

[formal goblet]

It might also be an empty string. You should be able to check that in the console

[low tulip]

undefined worked

but the forward slash remained for some reason

what the heck

alright fixed it

was just stupid

[low tulip]

I fixed it pretty simply actually!

that way if you left click, it increases it by 1 up to max uses,
and if you shift click it decreases it by 1 down to 0!

[formal goblet]

Well, that works, yeah

[low tulip]

I'd rather have it where right click decreases it and not shift click

but that means I have to script everything manually and I don't really know javascript well enough, it'd take me all day I fear

[low tulip]

Is it possible to make custom conditions and perhaps remove the default ones?

or I mean it's possible but is it reasonable?

[ornate marsh]

hello all

[formal goblet]

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

[low tulip]

and for removing the ones already there?

could just do display: none in css maybe

[formal goblet]

It overrides the entire collection

[low tulip]

oh really?

nevermind then!

[formal goblet]

And not everything is solvable with CSS 😅

[ornate marsh]

my understanding is that the dynamic table allows say the player to create rows?

[low tulip]

yet

[formal goblet]

Yeah, you can decide, if players should be able to create rows or not

[ornate marsh]

I got a hypothetical for you Martin.

So i got a lil basic inventory setup. My goal is to eventually get it so that if a player clicks the attack button, it displays the item name and appropriate roll in the chat.

so im assuming it would start off something like ${sameRow:wep_name:}$

[formal goblet]

${sameRow('wep_name')}$

:: are only relevant in Roll Formulas like ${[:Strength:d20]}$

[ornate marsh]

so '' is like quoting text specifically?

[formal goblet]

Things in quotes are strings

It's one of the primitive data types

Others are numbers, booleans (true or false) and Arrays (collection of values)

[ornate marsh]

so im assuming then number values should also use []

[formal goblet]

No. [] are special delimiters for Roll Formulas

You can just write 7 as a number

[sick cedar]

Question: How can I iterate through the items inside a specific item displayer of an actor object in a macro? I found a way but I doubt is the ideal one.

[formal goblet]

You actually never use [] or :: unless you want to perform rolls

[ornate marsh]

what if i wanted to fetch a number value from a specific row?

such as with: ${[1d20]+sameRow('wep_tohit')}$

[formal goblet]

The Item Displayer only contains the Item IDs, not the whole Items. So you have to fetch by id for every row

[formal goblet]

Same as with the name. You just specify a different column key

[ornate marsh]

assuming i need to use some sort of way to specific a number val

[formal goblet]

Wait, do you actually mean outside of the Dynamic Table?

[ornate marsh]

in the same dynamic table but eventually ill need to figure that out for specific player attributes

i got the formulas github page open trying to figure out how to get the value of the number field in there

[formal goblet]

If your Formula is within the same row, just use sameRow() like how you did

[ornate marsh]

${sameRow('wep_name')}$
${[1d20]+sameRow('wep_tohit')}$

is the addition wrong? do i need to expand the [] around the whole equation?

[formal goblet]

Not needed. The Formula is correct

[ornate marsh]

oh you're right, i guess i was reading it wrong

[sick cedar]

Actually I just realized that only one of the items is going to have a specific property as true at a time so I can do it like this, no need to check the item displayer per se
actor.items.filter(item => item.system.props.item_equipped == true)

[ornate marsh]

i have no clue what i did but i broke something on my sheet lol

${sameRow('wep_name')}$
${[1d20+sameRow('wep_tohit')]}$

Attack button wont even work now:

[sinful spade]

I made a roll button within an item container;
how would i go about making it a macro? i can't just add it to the hotbar with dragging like one off a dynamic table.

[formal goblet]

sameRow('wep_tohit') is not a valid Roll Formula, that's your issue

[formal goblet]

You might want to check this article here to get familiar with the syntax

[ornate marsh]

could you link it again?

[ornate marsh]

My frankenstien code rn:

To Hit: ${[1d20]+('wep_stat'=="STR"?str_val:'wep_stat'=="INT"?int_val:'wep_stat'=="WIS"?wis_val:0)+sameRow('wep_tohit')}$

Trying to get something condition to work where if wep_stat = one of three values, then itll use the right value

nevermind i got it: To Hit: ${[1d20] + switchCase(sameRow('wep_stat', 'unknown'), 'STR', str_val, 'INT', int_val, 'WIS', wis_val, 0) + sameRow('wep_tohit', 0)}$

okay almost lol

actually did get it this time:

To Hit: ${[1d20] + switchCase(sameRow('wep_stat', 'unknown'), 'wep_str', str_val, 'wep_int', int_val, 'wep_wis', wis_val, 0) + sameRow('wep_tohit', 0)}$

[low tulip]

I'm trying to write a line in a roll message where the entire roll is conditional on a property in the item but it's not working, can y'all tell me what's wrong with my syntax here?

<td><strong>${item.check != '' ? (${Roll:= [1d20]}$ ${!Roll >= 20 ? '<br>Critical Success' : ''}$) : ''}$</strong></td>

I've tried with different variations and I'm not really getting it

basically what I want in mock code just to explain is something like:

if(item.check == undefined) {
  <td><strong>''</strong></td>
}  else {
  <td><strong>${Roll:= [1d20]}$ ${!Roll >= 20 ? '<br>Critical Success' : ''}$</strong></td>
}

[frail kettle]

Hi people 👋
I'm creating my first system and currently struggling with the effect displayer.
The documentation tells about a reference column and various options related to that specific column or columns header.
My question is how can I add another column like the remaining time for each effect?
Is it feasible with just this module or should I use a simple table that I build myself from the effects attached to the actor ?

[formal goblet]

Currently it has only a single column to easily access and create Active Effects

[frail kettle]

Ok thanks for the quick reply 👍
I guess I'll tinker with something with a plain old table then.

[low tulip]

there has to be some way of doing this that I'm missing, I can't figure it out for the life of me

[formal goblet]

The thing is, you can't make a Roll conditional, only the Roll Formula. So you could construct a Roll Formula, where one conditonal path has 0 as the Roll Formula

[low tulip]

${#Roll:= item.check != undefined ? [1d20] : [0]}$ Something like that?

[formal goblet]

You now have 2 Rolls, that are being executed

[low tulip]

aah I see

so... ${#Roll:= [item.check != undefined ? 1d20 : 0]}$

[formal goblet]

A good direction, but that is not a valid Roll Formula

[low tulip]

how come?

[formal goblet]

Check this: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Guides/Formula-System#32-roll-formulas

[low tulip]

${#Roll:= [:item.check != undefined ? 1d20 : 0:]}$ enclose everything in ::?

doesn't seem right

[formal goblet]

Yeah, it would normally work this way, buuuuut... the ternary operator also uses :, so you have 3 of those, which is not valid

In essence, the ternary operator doesn't work directly in Roll Formulas

[low tulip]

but I can reference it from a key

[formal goblet]

But what you could do is to construct the Roll Formula, save the result in a local variable and just use that in the Roll

[low tulip]

what I'm trying to do here is make a roll button for my abilities but I realized some abilities don't have attack and damage values and are instead healing abilities for example, so I figure I need to have the abilities output attack and damage if those fields are filled, and instead output healing if that field is filled. If there's a different method to achieve this that comes to mind I'd love to hear it 😄

because right now, if the check / damage fields aren't filled in, it just errors. I need it to go through just with no values or empty strings

I'll dig into saving the roll formula result and see what I can accomplish in the meantime

I solved it actually ${#Roll:= [${!item.check.includes('STR') ? '1d20' : 0}$]}$

thanks for the help

[hollow osprey]

Hello everyone, i'm starting to use CSB and i have a question for you. If your system need to add species (elf, human, dwarf...) on player sheet. And each species could give an improvement on an attribute choice (ex choice between Agility or Intelligence). How could you make the player choose between the attributes suggested in the "elf" item for example. I was thinking about using a dynamic table with a radio button allowing to know which attribute has been choosen like this but is there another way to do it or example ? Thanks for your advice

[low tulip]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder#48-user-inputs
you could use user inputs to give them a dialog to choose one value

[hollow osprey]

but for that i should ask for user input in an event when i drop down a race in an actor sheet ? how i could trigger this event in CSB ?

[low tulip]

oh good question

that'd probably need a custom script then yeah

[frail kettle]

Hi again, I'm still struggling with effects. What is the format for Attributes key ? I tried using my component key as typed in the template but it does nothing. I also tried using the various methods from foundry's official doc but I can't find(or understand ?) the thing.

https://foundryvtt.com/article/active-effects/

[formal goblet]

system.props.componentKey

[frail kettle]

Thanks 👍
However, used as it is in the effect editor it does string operations (0+30=030).
Am I missing something?

[formal goblet]

Hmm, I thought I fixed that... Well, you can use the Custom option and input a formula as the value

[frail kettle]

Ok it's working that way thanks. I'm in 4.2.0 according to foundry so last version if I'm not mistaken

[low tulip]

I'm trying to get a heart icon to appear on the item displayer table only when there's a relevant healing value on the ability, but no matter what I do I only get errors. What could I do to make this work?

<i id="icon" style="display: none;" class="fa-solid fa-heart-circle-plus"></i>
%{
const myIcon = document.getElementById("icon");
if(${item.healing.includes('-')}$) {
myIcon.style = "display: block";
}
}%

I'm trying to make a heart icon only appear in the item selector table when there's relevant healing data on the ability, but I'm only getting errors, what could I do to make this work?

<i id="icon" style="display: block;" class="fa-solid fa-heart-circle-plus"></i>
%{
const myIcon = document.getElementById("icon");
if(${item.healing.includes('-')}$) {
myIcon.style.display = "none;"
}
}%

without the function part there are no errors so there's some syntax error inside the %{}% but I can't figure out what

I've tried doing the same thing with ternary operators but it doesn't like the <i></i> tag

[ornate marsh]

silly question, is there a way to remove this little white square that appears from foundry chat because a nil value was made?

it shows Critical Success & Failure appropriately, was just wondering if there was a way to omit the chat in the event neither 20 or 1 was rolled

[misty jewel]

put a '!' at the very start of the formula

it removes the explanation box

[bitter spear]

Hello, i'd like to play a custom system but develop a full system for Foundry is far too much for me right now. I was wondering if there is a way to make a module for a poor man character sheet. What i have in mind is basically just a way to have some labels with input value that you can save and some macros who read them. Is there something like that or is doable by a beginner in some way?

[formal goblet]

If you want to figure out, what the system is capable of, you might want to install the example module of CSB, which includes an Actor and some Items.

Building Templates is easy at the beginning, but the difficulty increases with complexity ofc.

[bitter spear]

Do you mean like taking one in the library and try to messing around?

[formal goblet]

Well, you could also take one from the sheet library, but I meant a module, which is available in the package manager of Foundry

[bitter spear]

Oh, thank you very much, i missed that.

Uhm, if i try to activate the module it says i need 4.3.0 version and i have the 4.2.0. Custom System Builder is in fact 4.2.0 but if i check for updates it says it is up to date. I'm missing something?

[formal goblet]

Ah yeah, it might try to download the latest version regardless of system compatibility... You need the one for 4.0.0, because 4.3.0 is in beta right now

Or you edit the version of the module in the module management

I don't think that it won't work with 4.2.0, because I haven't used the new feature there yet

[low tulip]

<i id='icon' style='display: block;' class='fa-solid fa-heart-circle-plus'></i>
%{
if(${item.type.includes('Instant')}$) {
document.getElementById('icon').style.display = 'none';
}
}%

Any update on why this doesn't work as a label text? I can't see what's wrong with it

[formal goblet]

Missing return

[low tulip]

I was experimenting with return a bit but couldn't get it to work, where would I put it?

[formal goblet]

At the end of the script. You probably want to use empty string or such

[low tulip]

like just return ' '

[formal goblet]

Yep

[low tulip]

well the error signs disappeared but the display property still isn't being changed

[formal goblet]

I think that the element doesn't exist at the time the statement is executed

I think it would be easier to make the style itself use a Formula to determine the display type

Like display: ${!item.type.includes('Instant') ? 'none' : 'block'}$

[low tulip]

didn't even cross my mind

[low tulip]

<i style='display: ${!item.type.includes('-') ? 'none' : 'block'}$' class='fa-solid fa-heart-circle-plus'></i>

[formal goblet]

I don't even know what's wrong. The only thing I'd change are the single-quotes to double-quotes in the HTML, because... convention

[low tulip]

yeah just did that and no difference

weird

just outputs error... not really sure what else to do 🤔 I'll have to sleep on it I guess

[formal goblet]

Remove !

[low tulip]

Tried that, still error

[low tulip]

interestingly though with the ! removed, it doesn't pass style="display: error;" anymore the style tag is just gone

OH

ok found a combination that worked, it needed string delimiters around the none and block, and no !

can't believe I didn't try that yesterday, I really did just need to sleep on it

[low tulip]

alright, everything works as intended now! One button that shows as a heart if it's a healing ability and a dice if otherwise, and sends conditional table rows depending on the ability keys. If it has a check, it sends a roll and a result row, if it has damage it sends damage rows, if it has healing it sends healing row, otherwise those rows are display: none;

${#Target_Defense:= item.type.includes("Physical") ? fetchFromActor('target', "defense", -1) : fetchFromActor('target', "magicdefense", -1)}$
${#concat(string(?{Dice_Modifier:'Attack Modifier'[number]|0}), string(?{Damage_Modifier:'Damage Modifier'[number]|0}))}$

[hollow crow]

@formal goblet Hey Martin, nvm for that macro problem, i managed to integrate your instructions in it and now it works perfectly, thank you very much! (Oh, and Merry Christmas 😄 ). I'd bother you with another question regarding setPropertyinEntity: i wrote this formula ${setPropertyInEntity('self', 'custom_hp', 'custom_hp+[3d8]')}$ PF to simulate self-healing for the cleric, but it seems to ignore the maximum value that i've set in the HP field: in this way the cleric could give himself infinite hp without respecting any cap. Why does setPropertyInEntity ignore the 'maximum value' field i've set in the character sheet's template for hp?

[formal goblet]

Because there's simply no mechanism to prevent that. You could do a manual Document.update and the effect would be the same. That's why you have to respect caps aswell

[hollow crow]

Ok, that doesn't seem a big problem anyway: no matter how many hp the number under the token shows to you, i'll warn my players that the value on the sheet is what matters (and it's enough that opening the sheet automatically updates the token number).

[tough scarab]

Do you know if there are any plans to update this sheet? I'm looking to run Deathwatch and it would be great to use CSB. The sheet looks great but I don't think it's functioning as planned.

[formal goblet]

These are user-generated and not maintained by us (unlike the Example-sheet)

[gaunt valley]

Can anyone help me?
I think it should be really simple to solve, but I didn't understand from the documentation.
I need to roll an "Agi" attribute inside an item. I can roll a die inside it, but I wanted, for example, roll+Agi.
I'm currently using this:

Rolling ${roll:=[1d10]}$.

but I've already tried, for example,

Rolling ${roll:=[1d10]+Agi}$. and nothing. Agility is inside "Habilidades". I also tried something like Habilidades.Agi.

Does anyone know how I can solve it? Ty!

[formal goblet]

Context is important, so I need the following information:

• Where is your target Formula (the one, that should perform the roll)?
• Where are your dependent values (in your case Agi)?

Entity types like Actors/Items and Components like Dynamic Tables and Item Displayers play an important contextual role. All other Components don't

[gaunt valley]

Target inside "Armas" template for itens
Agi is inside Tabbed Panel "CabAba" and inside table "Habilidades"
this is the label:

Rolou Agilidade com ${[:Agilidade + AgiBD:d10cs>=7df1]}$ Sucessos e adiciona ${AgiBF}$ no resultados de testes.

alternative label:

${#concat(
?{DifAlt:"Dificuldade Alterada"[number]},
?{Bonus:"Bônus de Circunstância"[number]},
?{Penalidade:"Penalidade de Circunstância"[number]},
?{Info:"Informações Adicionais"[text]}
)}$

Rolou Agilidade com ${[:Agilidade + AgiBD + Bonus - Penalidade:d10cs>=:7+DifAlt:df1]}$ Sucessos e adiciona ${AgiBF}$ no resultados de testes.

Informações Adicionais: ${Info}$

is that what you need?😊

[formal goblet]

Yep, that helps. Tabbed Panels and Tables are irrelevant in terms of Formulas, so we can skip that.

You're trying to fetch a value from the attached Actor to the Item, am I correct? If so, use fetchFromActor('attached', "Agilidade", 0)

[low tulip]

how would you most easily go about adding items that can be added as effects on an actor?

such as spell effects or debuffs and stuff

that would show on the token as an active effect and stuff

[formal goblet]

Use an Active Effect Displayer inside the Item to create Active Effects, which should be transferred to the Actor

[low tulip]

is that so

[low tulip]

but that doesn't show up on the token

custom script territory?

[formal goblet]

It will only show up in the Token if you select one of the statuses inside the Active Effect, otherwise it will be hidden

[low tulip]

and with 'one of the statuses' you mean the conditions predefined by the CONFIG?

[formal goblet]

Yep

[formal goblet]

Yep

[low tulip]

and there's no easy way to make it show up on the token as itself?

[formal goblet]

Nope, mandatory

[low tulip]

I want for the players to be able to see if they have a spell active on themselves for example

[formal goblet]

You can add a Custom one in the Config and use that for all custom effects

Easy as that

[low tulip]

wait so if I add a status condition, it doesn't actually show that status condition?

oh I see, it shows as active but the icon becomes that of the item's active effect... weird

[formal goblet]

That's Foundry default behavior

[low tulip]

usually in systems I've used if they use active effects for such things those active effects append themselves to the conditions so they show up there when the buff is on the actor, and then go away once they aren't

don't know how that works behind the scenes so to speak so I've never thought about it

[formal goblet]

Me neither, I've only made Active Effect modifiers work with CSB (and the Active Effect Displayer). That's it

[low tulip]

oh quick additional question I've thought of, when you use rich text fields they usually pop up like this and you have to manually extend them to see/edit the text. Why is that and can I change it?

its become really annoying after a bit 😄

[formal goblet]

Dunno, it wasn't always this way to be fair

Maybe something changed with the RTA with V12. I honestly use only the Dialog editor type

But could be worth a bug report. Chances are high, that it's an easy fix with a 1-liner

[low tulip]

I'll toss it on the gitlab

[hardy fern]

Is an if statement possible without the else bit somehow?

[low tulip]

do you mean a ternary operator or an if statement?

if you mean an if statement then

if(condition) {
  code block;
}

[hardy fern]

If as a formula.

[low tulip]

if you mean a ternary operator then no but you can always do something like

condition ? exprifTrue : ""

to provide an empty string as the falsy expression, depending on what your specific context is

[hardy fern]

Yeah that doesn't work. "" in specific prints out a tiny empty window.

[low tulip]

what's the context

[hardy fern]

"" prints out this.

[low tulip]

in a roll message?

[hardy fern]

0/0 was also suggested by Martin and it prints out NaN

I have a formula that checks if a checkbox is ticked and if it is I want it to do something. If not, do nothing.

But the "do nothing" part is more difficult than expected.

Always prints out something.

[low tulip]

what's it printing to, the chat? Is the only issue is that it prints something to the chat that it shouldn't?

[hardy fern]

Yup.

[low tulip]

ok is this in a roll message?

what does the context look like, is it a table?

what does your html look like

[hardy fern]

${Punching_Fail ? setPropertyInEntity('self', 'Punching_Value', 'Punching_Value + 1') : ""}$

[low tulip]

if you only want the box gone that's doable but if you want the chat message to not send at all I don't know if that's doable

[hardy fern]

Punching_Fail - Checkbox
True value is just a placeholder to increase a value in a field by 1 (Works fine.)
False should be doing nothing.

I want nothing to get printed out if the checkbox is not checked.

Quite literally skip, move on, do not print, alter, do anything.

[low tulip]

well I still don't quite understand the context. It looks like it's a roll message since it's printing a chat message. Just throwing something out, maybe try a html comment

not sure it'll do anything but
${Punching_Fail ? setPropertyInEntity('self', 'Punching_Value', 'Punching_Value + 1') : <!--do nothing-->}$

[hardy fern]

Yeah, that prints ERROR

[low tulip]

figured

[hardy fern]

If the False area is not filled or whatever it expects a second value which I kinda don't need.

[formal goblet]

${#%{
if (!entity.system.props.Punching_Fail) {
  throw 'Chat Message aborted';
}
return '';
}%}$

${Punching_Fail ? setPropertyInEntity('self', 'Punching_Value', 'Punching_Value + 1') : ''}$

You have to actively throw an error to abort the creation of the Chat Message

[hardy fern]

The success should print Chat Message Aborted?

[formal goblet]

oops. negated

[low tulip]

do NOT ! operators work inside %{}% delimiters?

[hardy fern]

Holy shit you did it mate...

[low tulip]

apparently so

[formal goblet]

Yeah, you have full JS there

[low tulip]

what does the #do?

[formal goblet]

Hide the result in the Chat Message

Useful for local variables, which you don't need in the Chat Message

[low tulip]

ah cool

[formal goblet]

A full list of all options: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Guides/Formula-System#318-formulas-in-label-roll-messages

[hardy fern]

Hm... It seems that the Return exits the entire code. I tried slapping a copy of that with adjusted names right after it and it only properly works if all of them are checked. If some or all are unchecked, it doesn't work.

[formal goblet]

How's the logic? How should be the decision tree?

[hardy fern]

I just have a list of skills where each skill has a single checkbox. If this is checked and then the button is pressed to run the script in question, it should go through all of the checkboxes and if it finds a checked one, it should increase that skill value by a certain amount. (As a placeholder I just do a +1 for now.) It's kind of an automation attempt because these skill increases are all done at a single point so I'm trying to make it all run from 1 button which would check all checkboxes and add the ones that should be added.

So basically in a dumbed down version:
Is skill 1 checked?
Yes - Add this to this value and continue.
No - Do nothing and continue
Is skill 2 checked?
Yes - Add this to this value and continue.
No - Do nothing and continue
etc.
etc.

[formal goblet]

And this list is inside a Dynamic Table?

[hardy fern]

No, a static, regular table because the list of skills won't be changed.

[formal goblet]

...

[hardy fern]

I most likely don't realize the purpose of dynamic tables but it just seemed like everything wanted to be the same for every row.

[formal goblet]

Use a Dynamic Table, remove the option for your players to add rows and create predefined rows in the Template. With this, you have a list of a fixed size

With this, you won't need a Formula for every fucking single skill

[hardy fern]

Any way to edit the rows because iirc when I tried to use a dynamic table I had labels for the skill names and couldn't edit them.

[formal goblet]

You need Text Fields

Labels are not editable per design

[hardy fern]

Is it possible to not have a text field box there? So it only shows text like a label does?

[formal goblet]

Are you only concerned about the visual or do you want a read-only field?

[hardy fern]

The text field box just makes it seem like the area should be editable. As a user if I see a box like that I by default expect to be able to write in that area and the names of the skills won't change ever so that's why in the table I have now I made it with label rather than text box. (Same for the modifier near the end. Only leaves a box in the areas where the user is expected to interact.)

[formal goblet]

How about you create 2 Components in the Dynamic Table?

• Text Field for the name of the Skill with no column-name, which is always hidden (visibility formula)
• Label, which only contains a sameRow()-Formula to the hidden Text Field

[hardy fern]

Will I always see the hidden collumn just because I am a GM? (In the actual sheet (Left), not the template itself.)

[formal goblet]

You can hide it even as a GM. Just enter false in the visibility Formula and you'll never see it again

[hardy fern]

Yes, I figured but if I leave it without a specific formula it wouldn't be visible to regular players as long as the Column Name of the specific column was left empty as instructed?

[formal goblet]

No. Default is visible to all. You have 3 options to adjust the visibility:

• Visibility by Permission level
• Visibility by Role
• Visibility by Formula

[hardy fern]

Ooooooh, I misunderstood your original comment here. ☝️
I understand now and now that I understand the setup I'll look into porting the table into a dynamic one. Thank you very much for your nerves of steel with my noob questions. 🥹

By the way... Is there a situation where a dynamic table would be worse than a regular table? Since from what you've told me it's best to use a dynamic table for lots of stuff. 🤔

[formal goblet]

If you have stuff, which behaves different in certain rows

Something like this here

[hardy fern]

Ah, ok gotcha. Thank you for the clarification!

[sinful spade]

how can i nest multiple "then" statements?
Value == true ? doThis andThis andThis : doThat andThat andThat
&, &&, +, ,, nothing seems to work

unless there's a better way to do what i'm doing.

I am making a roll button within the item container for weapons:

I am effectively trying to do the following

if attribute radio = true
get base attribute name
lookup attribute on dynamic table, roll that skill using the button on the table (to hit)
&&
reference weapon dice quant, value, and modifier
[roll damage]
else radio = ability
do the same but for the selected ability and ability table

[formal goblet]

What about and, or?

[low tulip]

You can also just make the text box go away with css
.textBoxKey input {
Background: none;
Border: none;
Width: whatever you want;
}

[hardy fern]

I'm barely on the edge of understanding scripting so I'm trying to somehow put together a functional automatization system that looks as intuitive as possible. To my understanding css only focuses on visuals, not functionality so for now I'm not looking into css at all and I'm leaving it in the back of my mind as a possible option for after I have my logic set up and functional. 😅

[storm stream]

can I have fields get info from rolltables so that if I create an actor it fills in all info I want?

[storm stream]

more specifically in a text area field

[formal goblet]

You can do that if you use setPropertyInEntity() in the Label Roll Message

[storm stream]

i can't fined "Label Roll Message" in the text field component

sorry

ugh

I mean rich text area component

i would like the rich text area component to come in filled with some text from rolltables

[formal goblet]

You need a Label with a Label Roll Message or a Macro to achieve that. You need some point to trigger the changes, the Roll Table itself can't do that

[gaunt valley]

that's it, it worked tyy ❤️

[hardy fern]

Anyone have any idea why this concat:
<p style="text-align: right;">${concat(string(diceRoll), '-', sameRow('Skill_Attribute', 0), ' // ', sameRow('Skill_Value', 0))}$</p>
keeps trying to convert the dash and double slash into numbers when I'm trying to keep it as text?

[formal goblet]

If it has one numeric type in the args, it will try to convert everything to a number

[hardy fern]

Any way to tell it not to do that? I tried closing both of them in a string() but that changed nothing.

[formal goblet]

The solution would be indeed to cast every arg to a string

[hardy fern]

Oh EVERYTHING... Ok I'll try. 🤔

[formal goblet]

At least everything, that is not a string by default

[hardy fern]

You've done it yet again Doctor.

[low tulip]

Doc Martin

[sinful spade]

Haven't tried,
So

Value == 1 ? Dothis and dothat ; elsethis and that?

Also how does or work?

[formal goblet]

They are just logical operators:

false and false => false
true and false => false
false and true => false
true and true => true

false or false => false
true or false => true
false or true => true
true or true => true

[sinful spade]

Oh no, I meant for the conditional logic, how can I run multiple functions within the iftrue and iffalse areas?

I'm specifically trying to
If Attribute radio selected
-> get selected attribute
-> roll that value in a dyn table
--> get weapon damage, roll that
Else
-> get ability from ability dropdown... Etc

So I tried
ItemBaseGroup == 1 ?
Ref('item.itemBaseAttribute') + lookup(...) : Ref('...')

I replaced the + with everything I could think of, and even tried nothing but the functions... Can't figure it out.

[formal goblet]

Funcion and variable names are case-sensitive

[sinful spade]

That's just my phone auto capitalizing, I'm not at my pc.
What's the syntax tho?

[formal goblet]

It highly depends if these functions can be chained. A Formula must give 1 definite answer at the end, so multiple statements like in JS are not directly possible

But the only conditional thing I see at your example is, if the value comes from an Attribute or an Ability. The rest stays the same regardless of the condition

[hardy fern]

The ability to delete a row in a dynamic table is visible just because I'm the GM, right? (I did select the crossed out garbage bin on all of the rows but still see it in the test character sheet.)

[formal goblet]

Yep, your players won't be able to

[frail kettle]

hey there,
I've been working with dice rolls expressions and I've reached this expression :

STR Roll : ${roll:=[1d100]}$/${p_net_STR}$
result : 
${
roll<=p_highroll?'CRITICAL SUCCESS':
roll<=p_STR?'SUCCESS':
roll>=p_lowroll?'CRITICAL FAILURE':
'FAILURE'
}$

I've encountered two issues and I'd would like to know if they are known limitations or bugs :

• I could not make conditions with more than 2 operations (ex A==B -> OK, A==B&&C==D-> KO)
• Only the "if true" part can be chained into another one.

[formal goblet]

The logical operators are or & and, not || & &&

[frail kettle]

Bruh... sorry, I'm a network guy not a dev 🤣

[formal goblet]

Don't worry, || and && are common in programming languages, just not in CSB

[bleak marsh]

Am I insane, or does lookup not work when trying to match Booleans in Custom System Builder / CSB? (v4.2.0)
I have been fighting with this for at least 2 hours, and I need a sanity check to see if it's just me. Any insight to what I am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated (or another method to get the same result).

I have an Item Displayer (charWeapons) on the Character sheet with the weapons a Character has. There is a checkbox for "isEquipped" (using the logic from the example sheet). It has a column on the table and a prop on the weapon with the same name.
I am trying to get the weapon skill (weapSkill on the Item Displayer) of the equipped weapons (where *isEquipped *== true)
lookup('charWeapons', 'weapSkill', 'isEquipped', true) <<<< always returns nothing
lookup('charWeapons', 'weapSkill', 'isEquipped', false, '!==') <<<< always returns the skills for all weapons, regardless of isEquipped value
I have tried multiple variations passing the booleans as: strings, 0 and 1, various casing, setting a variable to true/false and using those
(and yes, *isEquipped *value is changing on the items)

[frail kettle]

isn't the right symbol "!=" ?

[bleak marsh]

just tries "!=" no change in results

[frail kettle]

at least I tried

[humble sonnet]

I think the difference is that !== compares types as well as data (so "0" and 0 wouldn't be equal)

[frail kettle]

and about my other point ? is that expected as well ?

[formal goblet]

You can use another conditional in the else-part, that's also not an issue

[formal goblet]

Try out game.actors.getName('actorName').system.props.charWeapons in the console and give me the data from one row

[bleak marsh]

{
"name": "bow",
"id": "Jy4hAYOidj64ZRTD",
"weapRoll": "",
"damageValue": "",
"weapSkill": "Bow",
"weapSkillValue": "0",
"bulk": "",
"isEquipped": "<i class="fa-regular fa-square" style="color: red; background-color: white;"></i>",
"testRoll": ""
}

oh... I kinda see it now the isEquipped is the display value

thanks! I moved the checkbox into the label prefix and now I'm getting changes! Results are still not quite right, but I can work with this 😁

[hardy fern]

How can I work with an entire column of values in a dynamic table at once?

1. I'm looking to make a formula outside of the Dynamic table which sums up all the values of a certain column.
2. How would I make the training script run through all the rows of a checkbox table upon a single click?

I tried adjusting the solution I got to the previous situation:

${#%{if (!entity.system.props.Skill_Fail) {
throw 'Chat Message aborted';
} return '';
}%}$

${Skill_Fail ? setPropertyInEntity('self', sameRow('Skill_Value', 0) + 1) : ''}$

But while this doesn't give out any errors it also doesn't adjust anything.

[sinful spade]

right; but i need multiple conditions to be ran after a path is selected? How could I do that?

[formal goblet]

1. sum(lookup())
2. setPropertyInEntity() expects at least 3 args, but that will also not help enough to adjust all rows. Give me a minute...

[formal goblet]

Statements, not conditions. The simple answer is, you can't (at least not multiple complete statements). Give me a concrete example on how the Label Roll Message should look like for both cases

[sinful spade]

{Actor} attacked using an {item.name}.

Roll to hit: {ability/attribute} ( {dicepool} )
(alt roll) Situational Bonus: {Value}
Total: {value}

Damage: { item damage pool }
(alt roll) Situational Bonus: {Value}
Total: {value}

[formal goblet]

%{
if (!entity.system.props.Skill_Fail) {
  throw 'Chat Message aborted';
}

const table = entity.system.props.Table;

Object.values(table)
    .filter(row => !row.$deleted && row.checkBoxKey)
    .map(row => ({
        ...row,
        Skill_Value: parseInt(Skill_Value) + 1
    }));

await entity.entity.update({'system.props.Table': table});

return 'Values updated';
}%

[hardy fern]

Damn... I did not expect this much...

Do you have a halo yet mate?

[formal goblet]

Nope, only a disco ball above my head

It's not even a joke

[sinful spade]

https://tenor.com/view/disco-elysium-rave-dancing-kim-kitsuragi-gif-23534101

[formal goblet]

If I see it correctly, then the only conditional part is the Roll to hit

[sinful spade]

correct - the dice pool and ability name are both conditional on the radio selection

[formal goblet]

Then save both in a variable and use them down below

Something like this:

${#dice_pool:= isAbility ? ability_pool : attribute_pool}$
${[:dice_pool:d6]}$

[sinful spade]

ability and attribute pools are not stagnate - they're items in a dynamic table

I'd need to get the same function used withtin the dice for say 'dodge'

[formal goblet]

Then do multiple conditional checks

[sinful spade]

doesn't that require the chained logic i was asking about earlier?
isAbility ? getAbilityName -> sameRow get total : getAttributeName -> sameRow get total

[formal goblet]

Nope. Each statement performs the same conditional check:

isA ? b : c
isA ? x : y

[sinful spade]

oh so

isAbility ? get ability name : get attribute name
isAbility ? get ability function : get attribute function?

brilliant

[formal goblet]

Yep

[sinful spade]

So i'm getting a cannot convert 'd6' into a number error with the concat?
${ref('item.itemRollBase') == 1 ? concat(string(lookup('attributeTable', 'attributeDiceQuant', 'attributeName', ref('item.itemBaseAttributeName'), '==')), 'd6') : 'placeholder'}$

[frail kettle]

Is it possible to modify/add/remove effects from this list ? (sorry I don't know if it is even related to CSB or core Foundry)

From what I've seen there is a class for that "ActiveEffectConfig"
But is it usable with CSB ?

[formal goblet]

Yep, it will try to convert all args into numbers if at least one is a number

[sinful spade]

i think that's a list of defaults -> you can create custom ones within an active item effect pannel but idk about the core list.

you could if you dug into csb files but changes would revert on update

[frail kettle]

Yeah but its only ephemeral

[formal goblet]

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

[frail kettle]

That's what I would like to avoid

[hardy fern]

@sinful spade This was dealt with today here. -^

[formal goblet]

btw, lookup() returns an Array, not a string or number

[frail kettle]

Thanks, didn't even notice there was a wiki... I was doing everything from the readme

[formal goblet]

Yeah, many just ignore the first few sentences of the Readme 😅

[sinful spade]

i did try string('d6') as well, no luck.

[frail kettle]

Yeah, I've read it more carefully and yeah :p

Imo, the readme is so dense that I thought it was about everything.

[formal goblet]

I'll probably split the Readme into Wiki-sections, but that's work for my future-me

[frail kettle]

and also the wiki tab is hidden under another section on the nav lol

[frail kettle]

Understandable

[formal goblet]

That's GitLab, not us to be fair

On the other hand...

[frail kettle]

Yeah, it makes very few sense to fold it into another section especially near everything linked to bug reporter

[sinful spade]

it'd be more obvious to the user that they need to look for the wiki if the home page stopped at incompatabilities rather than having 85% of the information there.

[frail kettle]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/blob/develop/README.md
I'm reading the readme file directly not on the front page

[formal goblet]

Also a reason why I should move it

[frail kettle]

anchors are working weird for me in the main page, it moves me at the wrong spot and given the size of the readme...

[formal goblet]

That's because of the Images, that are lazy-loaded

[frail kettle]

oh...

[sinful spade]

right, but shoundl't it be converted because of the string function?

[frail kettle]

That's a core foundry question but are macros persistent ? I'm very new to foundry and it feels weird to touch defaults settings with a script hotbar 🤔

[sinful spade]

🤔 thanks for pointing that out, but i'm not technical enough to read between the lines there. Can you post the solution? I can probably scrap it for parts.

[formal goblet]

Yeah, they are

This is a good article: https://github.com/GamerFlix/foundryvtt-api-guide/blob/main/README.md

[frail kettle]

it feels kinda wrong to make a macro from a hotbar to run it once.
And now I'm worrying about obliterating the default settings by accident and having a fun time reverting my mistakes

[formal goblet]

You can create backups from the setup window. Once you have one, you can have as much fun as you like without regret

[frail kettle]

True

[hardy fern]

Use F12 to check for errors. I saw you had a '==' there.

[sinful spade]

yep. just getting the cannot convert d6 to a number error

[formal goblet]

== is fine though

[hardy fern]

The '-' and '//' caused issue in my case.

Had to cover those in string.

[sinful spade]

right, which is why i tried string('d6') as well, to no luck.

[formal goblet]

ref('item.itemRollBase') can be shortened to item.itemRollBase

[sinful spade]

thanks lol
while it's less efficient, i'm gonna keep the ref() just for my own sanity, it helps me remeber what it's doing.

unless it's breaking something

[formal goblet]

Nope, it's not. Just shorter

And item.itemRollBase is kinda... redundant with the item in the Component key

[sinful spade]

🤣 at the time i didnt know that i could reference it with item.key

i care less about it being pretty than i do it working 😦

[formal goblet]

I have to override this damn concat()-function. Nobody uses the overloaded one for numerics...

[sinful spade]

there's another concat?

[formal goblet]

It's overloaded for different types

I mean... try out string(lookup()).concat('d6'). This SHOULD'T try to cast to a number, right? RIGHT!?

Because String.prototype.concat() != mathjs.concat()

[sinful spade]

how are you concat-ing outside of the parenths 😭 i hate code

[formal goblet]

Because you can do 'Hello'.concat(' World')

Because it's a prototype function of strings

[sinful spade]

string(lookup('attributeTable', 'attributeDiceQuant', 'attributeName', ref('item.itemBaseAttributeName'), '==')).concat('d6')
2,d6

dunno where it's getting that extra comma 🤣 but it's not an error anymore

[frail kettle]

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
The world scripter module is obsolete and was never updated it seems :/

[formal goblet]

You can still get it and make it work regardless of missing updates, because the functionality is pretty minimal and it didn't break since then

But here's an alternative guide: https://foundryvtt.wiki/en/basics/world-scripts

Interesting. Normally there shouldn't be one, except you get more than one entry from lookup()

[sinful spade]

I mean this is the closest I've gotten lol

[frail kettle]

Oh I see, that's quite a cheap trick lol

[sinful spade]

is there an easier way to get the output of an enitre target item? prefix, suffix and all?
the d6 is a suffix on that original cell since i have to reference the value a lot elsewhere

[frail kettle]

Wait, if i need to use a world script, macros effects are only effective during the current runtime

oh you meant the script themselves as text files are persistent ?

[formal goblet]

Yeah, Foundry saves everything as a Document

[frail kettle]

okok in the world dir etc... got it 👍

[formal goblet]

There's also a Directory for Macros. Just click on the folder icon in the hot bar

[frail kettle]

that's per world as well ?

or global

[formal goblet]

Almost everything is world-bound

Exceptions are modules, which are global (but can contain world-data ofc)

[frail kettle]

Huh, what's the difference between Apply and Save Macro... I mean save macro is obvious but apply

[sinful spade]

run vs save?

[frail kettle]

yeah, of course makes sense since they are grabbed out of a world

[frail kettle]

There's a run macro option

[formal goblet]

Either this or save + close or such

[frail kettle]

oh ok

makes sense if you make a big macro would be annoying to close it after each line for the save addicts

[sinful spade]

so I'm guessing there's no way to target a cell with pre/suffix?

another solution, - is there a way to in real time grab items out of a dynamic table? e.g. hidden components exporting the value without using a lookup function?

[formal goblet]

You mean Label prefix and suffix?

[sinful spade]

like I can make a hidden label that uses the lookup function to just get the 2 - then later concat the label 2 and the d6 in the item roll.
Is there a way to do that real time with additions and what not?

[sinful spade]

yeah i have the d6 as a suffix for the column. could i just use that somehow? 🤣 two awkward solutions

the 'd6' is just a suffix

[formal goblet]

Not without a script, because prefix and suffix are not part of the normal system properties

Which is intended

[sinful spade]

i see.
and a real-time export of the base values?

i could make a hidden column with the concat predone actually

[frail kettle]

@formal goblet
Your world script example is on its way to be obsolete :

[formal goblet]

icon -> img

And well, until V14 is a long way

[frail kettle]

wow such change

[formal goblet]

What would be a real time export?

[sinful spade]

don't worry about it, the column is way more effective- as long as i can somehow remove it from taking any space on the player's view.

i'll play with the css ^^ display: none !important; should work.

But i guess that's a feature request martin, a function or other way to access label-prefix/suffix.
Like how we use item.name to specify for the item could we somehow get a
prefix.<label>.suffix addons?

[formal goblet]

Ehhh. Nope

[sinful spade]

it'd be a bit of a hastle if you want the full output:
prefix.label label label.suffix

😦 oh ok

[formal goblet]

We want to keep the system properties clean. If something is not intended to be used as a prefix or suffix, then it should be part of the Label text
