[formal goblet]

setProperyInEntity() does that

Next version

[heavy elm]

When will it be there? Weeks or months? 🙂

[formal goblet]

There's no timeline in the project

[heavy elm]

Im already hyped

[formal goblet]

It's already in the beta btw: #1037072885044477962 message

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

[sick cedar]

Is there a section on the wiki about how to proceed with the update to the newest stable version? I remember reading something a couple of weeks ago

[signal panther]

Ah, thank you! ❤️ That would be a major part of my problem. That part is at least resolved now

[bronze halo]

Hi, CSB is awesome. I would really love for the future to have a value/check box or dependency for status effects. If we could use setPropertyInEnmity to activate and deactivate status effects it would be incredible!

[signal panther]

Haha and after remembering proper syntax, it's fixed! Tytyty

Now to do that for every stat

[bronze halo]

Which bring me to my current problem. I'm trying to find a way to activate an ActiveEffect (status) via command. I try to used the workaround explained here https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Scripts/Scripts-for-Active-Effects but unfortunately it seems like the "status icon counters" module was updated and I get a legacy notification. Unfortunately I do not understand their new command. Is there any other way to get it running?

[signal panther]

Alright, new feature, and I couldn't find documentation for this specifically (apologies, I'm very new to this). I have a table that I'm already pulling bonuses from based on stats, in the first screenshot. Currently it doesn't consider checkboxes. It pulls the sum of the "Bonus" column, filtered by the "Attribute" column and sets that value as a hidden attribute with the following formula: ${sum(lookup('DT_ATT_BNS', 'BNS_NUM', 'BNS_ATT', 'BRAWN'))}$.

The documentation doesn't say anything about filtering by multiple criteria, is there a way for me to modify this by only rows that have their "Active" boxes checked?

[brittle moth]

If you are on the regular system (stable) already, you just need to update CSB in your Foundry Setup. If you're on the beta version, you can switch back to the stable by following this guide: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Guides/Switch-to-Beta

[bronze halo]

does "Dfreds convinient effects" work with CSB if I only rely on custom build active effects? Want to later use the API to apply and remove effects

[fossil brook]

Hello everyone, I have a question about CSB (Custom system builder). I have special dice in my game that I would need to implement into the game. They have their own walls with special markers (d6), I would need a rolled one to subtract 1 success, a two and a three are empty walls, a four, a five is for one success and a six rolled gives two successes. But I can't get over the fact that VTT evaluates all my achievements one by one, or none of them as it should.
I'm done with this one for now.

${[:hodz:d6cf=1:cs>=4]}$

Which counts anything rolled over a four as a success and a one as a failure, but nothing else. Any advice?

If there is an easier way to show cube walls in the program's chat, then I'd appreciate it too.

I am newbie for all of this, but for the play i need just this one dice 😄 Thank you for all advices guys.

[rain glen]

I found this system last night and I'm wondering how to make a stat a dice size like in the savage worlds system. (Strength = 1d6 Dexterity = 1d10) and also how to call that function as an attack.

[void spire]

I have something that bugs me a bit (it's not an issue, just something, that could make life a little better): currently I don't see any option to replicate existing element on the character template (like copy and paste). It would be helpful, if there would be such option. @formal goblet, is this something planned?

[formal goblet]

CTRL + Drag

[void spire]

So wonderfull, thanks a lot 🙂

[austere mirage]

Hey folks. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

I have been trying to use Object.values(ui.windows).find(w => w instanceof ActorSheet)?.actor?.uuid to get the uuid of the actor that is linked with the current character sheet. This works in console and macros, but I get either a value expected (char xyz) error or a left hand assignment error if I try to assign this to a variable inside of ${}$. I imagine that math.js is concerned about the type it is being passed.

Is there a better or more suitable way of referring to the uuid from inside of character sheet context? I have a roll to basically decrement ammo count in response to the roll, i.e. it expends ammunition:

Ammo Count Updated For: ${

ref('universal_roller_ammo_choice')

setValues("uuid", ref('universal_roller_ammo_choice').concat(" -1"))

}$

It works if I give it a static uuid for a character. But I am not sure what is the best way of inserting the uuid corresponding to the char sheet it is invoked from in a way that works with CSB.

Thank you!

some players might control multiple units, so I don't think that I can refer specifically to the linked character

[formal goblet]

%{return entity.entity.uuid;}%

[modern hemlock]

Is there a way to display a label in the item displayer before the item reference button? (i.e. an item count) (including possibly using custom CSS)

I basically want a nice way to have things like arrows that have their count removed every time you shoot (with a macro) and the display should reflect that

[austere mirage]

Thank you so much!

[brittle moth]

#package-releases message

**Version 4.3.1 is now generally available, with the following changes : **

Fixes

• Fixed issue preventing creation of an item inside an item in an actor

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

[modern hemlock]

What does an item inside an item mean? 🤔 sounds like it might be useful

[brittle moth]

Items can be anything you want. Items inside items is a very versatile (and new) feature, allowing you to (for example) :

• Create backpacks and add items inside them
• Create enchantments and apply them to other objects
• Create attachments and add them to weapons
• Create symptoms to attach to a "disease" item, to then apply on a character
• ... I don't have more ideas but that's not bad, I think ^^

[modern hemlock]

Do you have anything that could maybe change how items on actors are displayed in the item displayer (to add a picture, count before the name, or format things better) (or a way to drive a dynamic table with the actor data using a macro or something - not sure what I'd hook that under to make it refresh when needed)?

[brittle moth]

You can add HTML in the labels of the Item Displayer, and / or reference item's properties, like an inner "count" you'd have in them.
You can also use CSS to customize hox the Item Displayer is... displayed.
You can even, if you want to, create your own components using a module and add them to CSB !

[modern hemlock]

I might restyle the main item reference button to be a constant-width button without text with CSS and use the labels then, sounds like it should work

[modern hemlock]

seems to be working

[lone patrol]

how can i add multiple checks to an item filter for a container? && doesnt seem to work.

say, i want to check that a dropdown has a certain key selected and a checkbox is ticked

putting a space between the clauses seemed to just work? would appreciate confirmation on that tho

[modern hemlock]

Is it a formula? Try or or and (math.js)

[normal ore]

Good evening!
Just a quick question—how do I call my own active effect through a macro?

I do have an example macro, but the issue is that the modifications I made to the template sheet are not being applied. I created an Active Effects container to check, and the effect isn't showing up.

I think my macro is creating a new effect, whereas I actually want to call an existing effect that I've already created so I can make use of the modifiers I set up in it.

How can I do this?

[normal ore]

I achieved!

[oblique willow]

Is there a way to reference a variable in a rich text field? [[/r @variable]] works since it gets the rolldata correctly, but only when you press it to send to chat. [[@variable]] does not appear in the text field as anything but 0.
${variable}$ doesn't work either

[formal goblet]

A Rich Text Area isn't meant to contain Formulas, because it isn't a computable Component

[oblique willow]

Why doesn't the [[@var]] values work though, they do in other systems?

And it's in the rolldata since it works if you do [[/r ]]

[formal goblet]

I can't tell you why. We never tested this syntax

[oblique willow]

That's surprising, I've used it in basically every system I've played

[ornate haven]

Is there a method to detect a certain die roll value and highlight it? Looking at raw die values. If a d10 rolled = 10, show extra text in the roll value. Ideally this would work to detect against multiple dice (checking each) rather than combined.

[crystal quarry]

Ok thank you. I've been informed there is an official Foundry system on the works so it's not a big deal

Thank you for the help anyhow

[void spire]

I second this. It would be great, if this would be possible 😄

[dense pine]

Question about These „sub-Items“. In my actors Item displayer, Can i directly Access properties that are inside a „sub-Item“ of my displayed Items? Like item.item.prop

[formal goblet]

Keep in mind, that each Item can contain an Array of Items, so simply item.item.prop wouldn't work by design. You have to either work with Item Modifiers, lookup(), fetchFromUuid() or scripts.

[modern hemlock]

Can you not use a script %{}% or a macro for that?

[sturdy mesa]

Thanks, but can you help me with the default value?

I am able to generate the dropdown with the list of skills that the character possesses.

However, I would like it to recommend the skill of the weapon the player is using by default.

In the weapon's sheet, there is a field called "periciamodeloitem", which references the name in a text field for the recommended skill.

In the dropdown of the user input template, I need to reference this variable "periciamodeloitem" in the default value. How do I do this?

I'm trying like this, but it's not working

The field with the key "periciamodeloitem" is basically the name of the skill, in a text field.
I tried to use lookup to compare the name of the skill inside the weapon with the name of the skill on the dynamic table but didn't work

[fair yoke]

Never did something like that, sorry I'm not sure how to do it. My guess is that since your formula is in a dialogbox and not in an item displayer, you can't use item.xxxx syntax. I would try to set the name of the skill in a variable in your roll message, before calling the dialog box. something like that:

${?#{Dialogbox}}$```

[sturdy mesa]

I added a key called "defaultskill" placed before the dialog appears. It takes the skill level that has the same name as the weapon's skill name, with the lookup

However, if two skills have the same level, it picks the first one that appears, and then the name becomes incorrect, even though it pulls the correct skill level.

Any tips?

[fair yoke]

Can you share your rollmessage ?

[sturdy mesa]

Oh, I did it

[sturdy mesa]

I was using the dynamic table option key with the skill levels, so if one skill had the same level as another, the first one to appear would show up as the default.

Now, I changed the option to the skill names, so the correct skill will always appear, and I just adjusted the code. Thanks!

[dense pine]

@formal goblet i created my own custom Status Effects with the Script in CSB Wiki. I would like to know how to find the UUIDs of These Effects as i would like to activate them with a Script and Therefore i Need the UUIDs. Any idea?

[formal goblet]

You mean those in the CONFIG?

[dense pine]

Ja

[formal goblet]

These don't contain any UUID, they are not Documents. Just some configuration data

[dense pine]

Ok thx!

[kind folio]

Hello! I am creating a system and most of it is ready, but I have a question that I haven't been able to solve yet. I want a roll that asks for the number of d6 dice to be rolled and requests the attribute value and bonus value. The result should be the sum of everything. However, while it asks for the dice and values, it doesn't actually roll the dice.

Here is the code:

<table>
<tr>
<th>Technique</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Roll</td>
<td>
${DiceNumber=: ?{How many d6 dice do you want to roll? (Maximum 3)|1|2|3}}$
${Roll=:[DiceNumber]d6}$
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Attribute Modifier</td>
<td>${AttributeModifier=: ?{Attribute Modifier[number]|0}}$</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Bonus Modifier</td>
<td>${BonusModifier=: ?{Bonus Modifier[number]|0}}$</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Result</strong></td>
<td><strong>${Roll + AttributeModifier + BonusModifier}$</strong></td>
</tr>
</table>

Any Tips?

[formal goblet]

Should be ${var:= value}$

And Dialogs already store your data in local variables

[kind folio]

I'm not sure I understand, sorry. I really don’t know much about how it works, but through trial and error, I’ve learned the basics. Where exactly should I put ${var:= value}$? Do you have an example of how the code should look? Like, just asking for the number of dice and rolling with the attribute?

[potent fossil]

is there an equivalent in CSB to the set() or =Unique() function. Like returning every different value in a list ignoring the repeating one ?
Example [A, A, B, B, C, C, C, D] ==> [A, B, C, D]

[modern hemlock]

custom CSS is cool

item displayer

[dense pine]

What is teh deal with "CSB - Embedded Items Folder"?

[modern hemlock]

Why doesn't this work?

%{return ${sameRow('macro_invocation', '')}$;}%

these both work
%{return "aa";}%
${sameRow('macro_invocation', '')}$

I want to do an eval on a user-defined JS (basically call a macro with arbitrary number of params I guess)
I'm making a dynamic table with user-defined macros for items that players can use to e.g. attack

Im getting this on the first one

[heavy elm]

So I can add items to items now. Can I also add itemmodifiers to to added items which then change Values of an actor?

[void spire]

Thank you all for help.
One more question: is there any way to mark somehow the result of the dice roll? I'm preparing CJ Carolla Witchraft, which use 1d10 for testing, and usally sum up with the attribute + skill. If on the d10 is 1 or 10, there is some special effects to be displayed. But for the ${[1d10]+attribute+skill}$ the result is a sum, so I need to click on the roll to see, if there aren't any 10s or 1s.
Is this something that can be done? I would be fine with a message (but condition don't work for the numbers I guess) or mark the roll with some colors.

[marble mural]

Duplicating any item makes copies of every item now...great.

and now I have to go back through and remove all the duplicates, and fix all the dead links in my notes and on sheets, because there is no way to know which "duplicate" the link is linked too.

I shouldn't have updated.

[dusky mauve]

@formal goblet Does Dynamic Table iterate over deleted elements?
because I got an issue - its give me an error on the already deleted element

dynamic table dt_cleric_gods

{
    "0": {
        "god_name": "GOD_MISTRESS_OF_CROSSROADS",
        "god_points": "5",
        "$deleted": false
    },
    "1": {
        "god_name": "GOD_LADY_LAKE",
        "god_points": "0",
        "$deleted": false
    },
    "2": {
        "$deleted": true,
        "god_name": "GOD_NO_GOD",
        "god_points": "0",
        "$predefinedIdx": 0,
        "$deletionDisabled": true
    }
}```

Formula on field `Max` :
```${CLERIC_GODS_SERVE > 0? max(lookup('ic_cleric_cults', 'level','god_key', '${sameRow("god_name")}$')) * ${CLERIC_EFFICENCY}$ + ${CLERIC_EFFICENCY}$: 100}$```

error:
```CLERIC_GODS_SERVE > 0? max(lookup('ic_cleric_cults', 'level','god_key', 'GOD_NO_GOD')) * 25 + 25: 100```

[potent fossil]

Do any of you guys have problem with duplicating items? When I do it duplicates all of my items several times

[marble mural]

Yep, Just spend half an hour deleting duplicates, now it will be much longer going into all my notes and fixing item links...

[heavy elm]

I'll not duplicate my items Till hotfix 😅

[modern hemlock]

what's up with duplicating? I thought duplicating an item always made an independent copy 🤔

[marble mural]

It does...now it just makes three of them...and three of every other item of that template type.

[modern hemlock]

Oh duck, you're right 😵

I shouldn't've clicked that 😂

[modern hemlock]

is there a way to get the n-th element from the dynamic table? (something like ${lookup('item.rolls', 'roll_description')[1]}$, this index syntax doesn't work however)

[formal goblet]

Nope

[formal goblet]

That's where sub-Items of Items in the directory are stored.

[formal goblet]

${}$ returns an unquoted bareword, thus you need quotes around it, if you expect a string-return.

[formal goblet]

What's the error message?

[formal goblet]

How about lookup().at(n)?

[modern hemlock]

This works, thanks ❤️

[modern hemlock]

Seems to work for alert (but I have to refresh the template twice - something with synchronization?), but eval consistently throws the same error still

%{alert('${sameRow('macro_invocation', '')}$');}%

the row contains this (raw html) <p>console.log("hello");</p>

hmm

okay it works after I replaced the rich text area with a text input, rich text was adding <p>

[formal goblet]

Your URL is in there

[modern hemlock]

Yey it works - a button to roll an item's 'macro' (using eval on a string) directly from the actor

[modern hemlock]

fixed, sorry about that 😅

I was so excited I didn't notice 🤣

[formal goblet]

Why sorry? It's not illegal to dox yourself 😅

[modern hemlock]

technically it's not even my server 😂

lol

there was no identifiable info there but I suppose if you went and probed on the server maybe you'd find something on my friend idk
the worst that could probably happen is something not being password protected correctly and you could delete files off of it maybe idk

[formal goblet]

Not really. Just saw the URL in the screenshot and warned you

[modern hemlock]

yeah, thanks anyways 😄

[sullen spoke]

Im attempting to use a dropdown list in a user input. I had the dropdown list working off a dynamic table and it worked fine, but since I wanted to do something different with the sheet I changed it to a custom dropdown, but now it wont call the values despite the keys being in order. Any advice?

When I roll the relevant skill it gives no response, but when I removed the dropdown list from the third pic it worked fine, so i know its the dropdown causing issues

[sullen spoke]

I decided to create the same dropdown list in the sheet proper incase an issue with the user input was the culprit. As you can see when it attempts to simply add the selection plus 1 it returns an error. staskill is the component key for the first line in the second pic, which returns "1" but doesn't complete the equation at the bottom

[sullen spoke]

Alright I figured it out. When using a dynamic table its sufficient to just reference the component key of the dropdown list, but when using a custom table you have to use ref(tablename) to call the value instead

How do you reference a checkbox thats contained within a dynamic table?

[heavy elm]

Good Morning, is it possible now to use an item inside of an item with Itemmodifiers? Which property is then modified, the item or the actor? How can I change a property of an actor with an item inside an item?

[formal goblet]

The item is modified. A direct modification of the Actor is not possible at the moment

[heavy elm]

Okay, still awesome

[formal goblet]

Like any other Component in the Dynamic Table with find() or lookup()

[dense pine]

Ok thx! Whats the Workflow here? Do i Need to Store items that are meant to serve as sub-items here manually to work? I tested some „normal“ items and put them in other items. Series to work. I did nothing with this folder.

[formal goblet]

CSB manages the folder, so you basically don't touch it

[willow birch]

Soo, I have a skills as items currently. But item displayers don't have checkboxes to track if they have been used. But they do have meters,
How would I write a reset script to turn all "meters" back to 0?

I can't even find how to reference them...

[modern hemlock]

You can use a label with a formula and HTML

For a read-only checkbox

[willow birch]

🤔 Would I be able to make the amount of checkboxes dynamic then?
I assumed the html was static

[modern hemlock]

You should be able to plug javascript into the formula with %{} %

And generate as many as you want

Tho they're all in the same column

Though I'm not sure why you need to have multiple checkboxes per item

[willow birch]

No, I meant a checkbox per item, so there's as many as items. Though I don't know how to create CSB objects via JS

[modern hemlock]

Just make a label as part of the item displayer and write the html into it

Into the label text

You can also use custom css to style it

[willow birch]

That was so easy... Still unsure how to reset them though.

[modern hemlock]

When are you resetting them?

Just by hand?

[willow birch]

Although that's extra, it would be nice.

At long rests

I'd like to write a button that resets all of them

I just don't know how to reference them

[modern hemlock]

If you have a macro or something for long rests, you can hook it there, but I'm not sure the exact syntax to get to the checkboxes quite yet

Wait

They just represent the item value, so just set the used attribute on the item to true

Or false

Or whatever values you're using

It should redraw the table/row

[ornate haven]

Is it possible to pull data from a dynamic table to a macro? I have my damage rolls pulling from sameRow into a roll currently, but would like utilize a macro and foundry API to format the roll and catch things like when a damage die rolls a 10

I would just do the formatting adjustment within the roll macro, but I have to account for multiple d10's. If you are familiar, I am looking to format the way that pathfinder 2e highlights when a d20 roll is a 20 (indicating a critical)

[willow birch]

You can send data to/through a macro. But the macro itself can't pull data out of CSB.

As in, you could make a button on a sheet that sends data to and runs a macro then simply pull said button to the hotbar. It will then act as a macro.

[modern hemlock]

macros can pull data from CSB actors/tokens, but idk how to do it for a dynamic table
here's a simple property getter

[heavy elm]

Is there a fix for the all items will be duplicated two times when duplicate any item?

[willow birch]

What version?

[heavy elm]

4.3.1

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/commit/1072f0c7b935bdec28c293eaf322dafca947e0d8

[formal goblet]

4.5. Scripts
...

• %{return options.dynamicRowRef}% This will return the row-reference of the Dynamic Table the Script was executed in. This can be helpful in Scripts, where the reference of the current row is needed.

• https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Scripts/Scripts-for-Dynamic-Tables

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

[dense pine]

any idea what i con do when i get these errors?

[formal goblet]

Extend the error message

[sullen spoke]

Tried this but no luck. Does the formula remain the same as when you reference a normal checkbox?

${#partial_mod:= find('armor', 'partial') ? 1 : 0}$
${#full_mod:= find('armor', 'full') ? 3 : 0}$
${lookup('stattable', 'score', 'Ability', 'PER') - partial_mod - full_mod}$

[storm stream]

Hey peeps, a friend wants to collab on a system I have been working with, how do you suggest I set it up? Should I use git?

We're gonna create actors, items, etc

[heavy elm]

Is there a way to limit the amount of items an item displayer can hold?

[modern hemlock]

item displayer or actor/token?

because item displayer doesn't hold items, it just shows what the actor has

[heavy elm]

Item displayer, its a itemdisplayer inside of an item

[modern hemlock]

okay I don't know how items inside items work yet so I can't help any further

[zenith rover]

Is there a way to duplicate a component, such as a finished table, within the same sheet?

[modern hemlock]

I copy it to a 'donor' sheet, copy it back and delete from the donor sheet

[trail lake]

Is it possible to change the token status icons to have your own status icons and remove those you don't want?

[modern hemlock]

Yes, I installed Condition Lab and Triggler module for that

[shy osprey]

Trying to get Griddy (inventory management module) to work. I have troubles getting the items stacked there and browsing this Discord I found old messages that explained that item stacking in CSB is not possible yet. Is this still true?

[modern hemlock]

I mean... You can make an amount property and macros, but it's not supported natively

[trail lake]

Great! Thanks😀

[shy osprey]

@modern hemlock Thank you for the reply. Having extremely limited computer skills I never know if it is about lack of skill or stuff simply not being possible at all.😅

[zenith rover]

That worked, thanks!

[elder raft]

Is there a way to populate a dropdown with a list of character names? Even if it only pulls from a specific character folder?
Or is using a FetchFromActor-Target kinda the best way to pull a list of selections from another character sheet?

[formal goblet]

%{return game.actors.filter(actor => !actor.isTemplate)}%

[tawdry crag]

I'm just getting started and I'm reading about Meters; I'm a little bit confused about the Value field. The documentation says if the gauge has the key it can be used in other formulas, but I'm not sure what exactly I'm supposed to put in there. Is that supposed to be its current numerical value or something else that I'm missing?

Also, I'd like to use checkboxes or radio buttons to have traits which can modify the Max value, for example, of my meters. Is that possible? I didn't see a way to have a checkbox recalculate other fields, and I'm not sure how to reference specific fields in my meters either

[dire socket]

Is there a way to change the color of meters

Like specifically, I'm not sure how css would interact with the component

[sullen spoke]

Bump

[formal goblet]

I don't see CSB involved in there. When does the error appear?

[formal goblet]

lookup() returns an Array of elements. You have to surround it with first() if you expect only 1 value.

[formal goblet]

Git would be a good idea, yeah

[formal goblet]

Only possible via a world script, which intercepts the creation of items. Item Displayers can't do that.

[sullen spoke]

updated the line as follows, still returns no response

${#partial_mod:= first(lookup('armor', 'partial')) ? 1 : 0}$
${#full_mod:= first(lookup('armor', 'full')) ? 3 : 0}$
${lookup('stattable', 'score', 'Ability', 'PER') - partial_mod - full_mod}$

[formal goblet]

A Meter is a read-only Component, which adjustes automatically via Formulas. The value-field represents the current value.

[formal goblet]

Check console with F12

[formal goblet]

Your Formula in the max-field has to decide, what value should be in there. You can make it dependent on a Checkbox:
${50 + (CheckboxKey ? 5 : 0)}$

[formal goblet]

Is that a Label text or Label Roll Message?

[sullen spoke]

label text

[dense pine]

it happens when i reload all items in all actor. i use the macro you gave me some weeks ago:

[sullen spoke]

I found that the lookup function is working fine, for some reason CSB just doesn't like it when you use the lookup function within the creation of a value like I was doing

So I just created a place on the sheet to store the lookup function and called the value from it

[feral owl]

Heya, is there a way to copy a component. Just made a dropdown list with like 18 things in it which will be used elsewhere and really don't wanna have to type it all out again 😅

[modern hemlock]

You can draganddrop it somewhere else

Hold the handle at the top of the component

[formal goblet]

Ctrl + Drag

[feral owl]

Ahh keyboard stuff, luvly

Is there a big list of this in the documentation I'm missing?

[formal goblet]

I think it's mentioned somewhere at the top of the readme

Otherwise Readme and Wiki are the 2 big sources of CSB

[feral owl]

Righto, ty 🙂

[modern hemlock]

Wait, ctrl+drag makes a duplicate?

[feral owl]

Hmm seems like the Ctrl doesn't work to put it in as a dynamic table field

Wait no that makes sense if the inputs are the dropdown but not the column itself

[formal goblet]

Y

[modern hemlock]

That's neat, I didn't know that

Also, any way to make a panel / vertical layout with several input fields in a dynamic table row?

[formal goblet]

Currently not

[modern hemlock]

Ah 😔

Well, static fields it is then, no table

[high stag]

is there any way to reroll the initiative every turn?

even modules aren't system agnostic.

[high stag]

edit: found one

[modern hemlock]

Any chance we can get the item duplication fix released within the next few days? I'd really appreciate that

I saw it's been fixed in a commit so shouldn't be too hard

[brittle moth]

Well then rejoice !

#package-releases message

**Version 4.3.2 is now generally available, with the following changes : **

Fixes

• Fixed issue with item duplication duplicating way too much

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

[modern hemlock]

Damn... 😂 🥳

[storm stream]

How should i "export" the content?

I have no idea how to go about this

[formal goblet]

https://foundryvtt.com/article/compendium/

[modern hemlock]

hmm, the fix doesn't seem to work 🤔

[brittle moth]

Insert "it works on my machine" excuse here

What are your steps ? can you provide a reproduction scenario ?
The issue that was pointed out originally was on item duplication : Right click on an item -> duplicate
This should be fixed, and should no longer cause issues.
But maybe your issue is something else

[final mural]

custom system builder just vanished from my foundry, i downloading it doesn't do anything
how do i fix it?

[formal goblet]

Do you have errors in the uper right corner?

[modern hemlock]

I upgraded from 4.3.1, launched the world, duplicated existing items > it duplicated 3 copies and 2 'non-copies' (as above)
I also deleted every item and created a new one using the template that existed in 4.3.1 and tried duplicating that, to the same effect

by duplicating I mean this

and I have nothing in the console either, no errors

I'll try creating a new world and new templates and try there a little later

[final mural]

a few

[formal goblet]

That's a lot. What's in there?

[modern hemlock]

I made a fresh world with nothing else enabled but CSB 4.3.2, and made a new template, new item, duplicated said item and error still persists.

The template has a label and a number field if that's of any relevance

[formal goblet]

Try CTRL + F5

[modern hemlock]

Oh, okay, now it works

I didn't think of that

[modern hemlock]

can you embed formulas inside rich text fields?

Cuz that would be nice for a DM to make spell descriptions and stuff

[formal goblet]

Not in the Rich Text itself, but you can display the content via a Label and resolve it there

[final mural]

mostly "unknown type : author" nothing for custom system builder

beta version installs normally so i have no idea what could be the problem

[brittle moth]

When you try to install the main version, what happens ? Can you find it in the system explorer ?

[supple latch]

I have a question-
I am trying to have an item holder where I can drag and drop an item with their own dice rolls.
does anyone has an idea of how to go about it? I saw some youtube videos, but none that i watched actually covered this aspect
i can call out labels, but not rolls.

[modern hemlock]

I have that

I have items with user defined roll macros

And the 2 first rolls show up in the displayer

[supple latch]

that would be great for me to take a look and see if i can reproduce something close to my needs

[modern hemlock]

Yeah, if you can remind me in about 16 hours that would be great, I've just turned my pc off for the day

I can send you the entire thing

[bronze moon]

is it possible to add an image box?

[modern hemlock]

You might be able to do something with custom css and background image/js macros maybeeee

[bronze moon]

but no simple options

[modern hemlock]

I don't think there are any simple options

[modern hemlock]

Going back to this, quick summary: you need to have something defining your roll. I have a text field with javascript. I use eval('${roll1macro}$') to call it, and I have another input field with a short title that I put in the label that's styled as a button

You can use {item.roll1macro} to call it from the item displayer label that is also styled as a button

[supple latch]

i thought i needed a label/key to call it
but i didnt know exactly how

those are, like, actual macros then?
i see i see...

[modern hemlock]

No, I only use a macro to define the rolls behavior

You can use a formula/script formula to do everything else

And you could use it to define the roll too, I just wanted it to be extra flexible

[bronze moon]

ok I have a quick question... ${%{
linkedEntity.templateSystem.roll('item_roll', {postMessage: true});
}%}$

Why is this rolling twice with an error "roll" then a normal one"

[supple latch]

i am sorry, i dont get it =/
i am really, really out of my element here
so i will just pray that the actual files later make some sense to me
comparing it to the abomination that i have should shine some light somewhere, hopefully

[modern hemlock]

You can put javascript into a formula

And call a macro or something that uses stuff that's not available in math.js (the math library used for normal formulas)

Also, you got some nice art on your deviantart page!

[supple latch]

☺️ thank you!

[formal goblet]

1 Message from the Label Roll Message and 1 Message from the Script. You can disable the first one in the Component config

[bronze moon]

I thought i had tried that but it worked like a charm

[formal goblet]

You can create a Rich Text Area with the content of the Roll Message and call that inside a Label Roll Message:
${${!richTextAreaKey}$}$

Just be aware, that the Roll Message will be computed with the properties of the entity with the Label (instead of the props of the entity with the Rich Text Area)

[supple latch]

Let me give it a try and see if I can make it work

[trail lake]

If I update the Custom System Builder to the new version, will it effect what i have already designed?

[formal goblet]

From which version are you updating?

[trail lake]

4.2.0

[formal goblet]

It shouldn't effect anything. But backups are always advised

[trail lake]

Ok. I can just keep the version I have. What benefits from updating?

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md?ref_type=heads

[fringe silo]

how whould one do a d100 roll where a success is <= targetnumber

${d100cs<=:tarnumnum:}$ is what i have right now and in getting an error

[fringe silo]

${[d100cs<=:tarnumnum:]}$ is now working but id like it to show me the rolled number and weather it is a success or not its showing a 1 for success 0 for no success but not showing the roll

[oblique willow]

How do I change the message type of a label message? For it to be self, blind, to GM etc?

[fringe silo]

under advanced config for the field

[modern hemlock]

should work in 4.3.2 (it's the version I'm using)

[oblique willow]

I don't see it?

[supple latch]

Thank you very much, you are very kind! I will give it at try.

[supple latch]

i am having a hard time importing it
is an actor, yes?

ah, i did it!

[fringe silo]

somethinf like minimum role to see

[modern hemlock]

actor and item

they should work together

[supple latch]

yes yes, i imported it
now i am trying to figure out how to make the roll work
gives me an error

[modern hemlock]

ah I need the macro

name this item_equipper

(it's for items that cover multiple slots and preventing multiple of the same slot from being equipped)

[supple latch]

stares at screen
...and this is why the common folk shouldt try to do whatever witchcraft you all are on about
i have no clue of what this all is or how it works
but we press on!

i created a script macro, copy and pasted the text and named it item_equipper
was thats what i was supposed to do, yes?

[modern hemlock]

yeah

that should be enough

(this is purely some automatic rule enforcing for item equipping, nothing else)

[supple latch]

good news! the button is there!
bad news! its not rolling my humble ${[2d10]}$ command

[modern hemlock]

yeah it uses JS

hold on Im gonna change it and tell you what to do

hmm, actually, I don't know how to evaluate a formula from an external place 🤔

cuz I'm pretty sure something like ${${item.formula}$}$ wouldn't work

[supple latch]

oh-

[modern hemlock]

(I'm intending on calling macros with it so eval with JS works fine for me)

[supple latch]

maybe i should try this instead and keep it simple since i know jack about js

shoot i think i pinged them, forgot to hit the button to not to

[modern hemlock]

hmm, or maybe you can do that 🤔

[supple latch]

apologies, but thank you very much for your help

[formal goblet]

It does

[modern hemlock]

hmm, you gotta change these then, and put ${${item.roll_1_macro}$}$ (and roll_2_macro for the other) I think

okay that works

but inside the item, put [1d10] instead of ${[1d10]}$ if you do
and enable roll msg to chat option

[formal goblet]

Should be ${${!key}$}$ to be fair if in a Label Roll Message

[modern hemlock]

what does ! do? (I suspect it's not the NOT operator)

[formal goblet]

It removes the <span>-wrapper around the result in the Chat Message, otherwise you'll get issues reparsing it.

[modern hemlock]

also, any way to do something like this in a roll message? (including with JS/macros)

fancy message visuals

[formal goblet]

It's all HTML, so sure. But don't ask me, how to style it this way 😅

[modern hemlock]

Ah, gotcha

I'll be able to figure it out, just needed something to latch onto

[supple latch]

I am doing something wrong...

[formal goblet]

Put that into Label Roll Message

[modern hemlock]

yeah, not label text

[supple latch]

It shows!
but it doesnt roll

[modern hemlock]

try removing the outer ${}$ from the roll definition inside the item

[modern hemlock]

i.e. this

[supple latch]

HAHAHAHA
It rolled!
An error XD

[supple latch]

let me try

[dusky mauve]

Can't drag and drop item to the compendium.

[modern hemlock]

Lol, my VSCode just crapped itself trying to update

[supple latch]

though, if i enable roll msg to chat can i still call out things like 'strenght' and 'endurance' keys?

[modern hemlock]

it deleted the entire folder without pasting the update I guess

[modern hemlock]

it's strength btw, t before h

[supple latch]

gosh darn it english

[modern hemlock]

yep, I didn't know that at one point too

[supple latch]

hm, it really doesnt want to roll
i tried a fell different ways to type it in the rich text
but it refused and called my mother names
very rude

[formal goblet]

Check the console with F12.

[supple latch]

nothing pops up when i roll i think

[formal goblet]

What's the key of the rich text component?

[supple latch]

weapon_type_roll

and it is what i am calling

[modern hemlock]

add another ${}$ in the actor

[formal goblet]

Where's the content?

[modern hemlock]

and yeah, where's the roll content

[formal goblet]

Nvm, that's the template

[formal goblet]

Won't help, the result is undefined, so parsing it a second time won't achieve anything.

Try out ${consoleLog(item)}$ in the Label Roll Message

[modern hemlock]

there's a formula for console.log? 👀

[supple latch]

ok, let me try

[formal goblet]

Yeah, we do have that

[supple latch]

another error
i am probably just doing some important, simple thing wrong

[formal goblet]

Just item

And watch the console

[supple latch]

nothing popped in there

[formal goblet]

Huh? Did you reload your Actor?

[supple latch]

i did?
i F5 now and them because sometimes the changes dont seem to go through

how the hell can you even tell wtf

[formal goblet]

Our last resort would be %{console.error(entity.entity)}%. If this doesn't show up, then the changes didn't apply.

[fringe silo]

${

keys changed for simplicity cause they will be diffent for a few rolls

[formal goblet]

Can you format that in one block? It's messy

[supple latch]

shruuuuuuuugs
i will just play around and find out now
surely there is something funky going on

oh, i got a new error at least

[fringe silo]

@formal goblet ill give it a go when i get back to the house

[formal goblet]

That's still the old Label Roll Message. You have to hit the reload button right next to the Template selection

[supple latch]

i did it though...

i tried a few more things in the item text field too, but the results are the same
refreshed the page as well

oh well
i think thats enough head hammering for today
thank you very much for you all's help

[frosty charm]

Hello, im new at CSB, trying to create basic healing macro
What's wrong with this syntax?

${setPropertyInEntity('self', 'HP_Current', "HP_Current + [1d6]"}$

HP_Current is a number field with number like 5 and max number like 999

[modern hemlock]

you can only set labels and/or hidden attributes, not input fields

[formal goblet]

Vice versa

[rain glen]

@formal goblet im trying to make a simple inventory where i can display the item and its description in the chat. So far i have an itemdisplay, items and the label. How would i go about making my idea work?

[formal goblet]

There's nothing wrong with it

[frosty charm]

This is a console log after using macro, maybe it will help

That seems to come from your Macro, not from us

[frosty charm]

Okay, anyway thanks

[oblique willow]

Thats different from the message type though

I just wanted to know if there was a way to self-post the message or blind do it to the gm

[formal goblet]

Check around the Chatbox, there's a toggle

[oblique willow]

What do you mean with the Chatbox? The default toggle?
I meant if there was a way to send label roll messages using one of those modes

Like how you can use

ChatMessage.applyRollMode(message, mode);

[modern hemlock]

Surely there's a better way of doing this, right...? (values pulled from a dynamic table)

62 modifiers for 31 stats (flat + percent)

[formal goblet]

Ah, that's currently not doable within CSB itself. Only with the toggle that you've posted

[oblique willow]

Which doesn't affect roll messages, sadly.
So I'll add it to my wishlist of features 😄

[formal goblet]

It does?

You might need to set it in the settings, but that should be possible

[oblique willow]

is that "Expand Roll Visibility to whole Chat Messages"?

[formal goblet]

should be

[rapid hare]

Hello, I return with a simple issue: I wish to make a button appear when a specific combination of two dropdown lists is chosen (WeaponClass == 7 and Status == 2). Either this, or a dropdown list and a checkbox. Is there a way to do that?

[formal goblet]

In the visibility formula of the button: WeaponClass == 7 and Status == 2

[rapid hare]

And here I tried to experiment with ? and : , thank you!

[modern hemlock]

Look up math.js expression syntax

[sonic marsh]

I'm looking for help with setting initiative. We are using a variant initiative system where initiative is rolled per character and can be rolled in one of 3 ways: normal, fast or slow. Normal initiative is 1d20+Dexterity modifier; Fast initiative is 1d20+Dexterity modifier+10; Slow initiative is 1d20+Dexterity modifier-10.

Is there a way to add buttons on the character sheet to allow it set initiative in different ways?

[modern hemlock]

Any way I can (with a JS macro) group items embedded in actors by the sidebar item they were created from, or do I have to give them a separate id property? (for automatic combining of separate documents (that have amount property) into stacks)

[formal goblet]

I don't think there's any standard property you can use to trace back from which Item they were created from, so you have to create your own prop for that.

Or you merge by name

[modern hemlock]

yeah I was thinking of that too but idk, I might want to have several items with the same title

[dense pine]

Inside an item displayer i would like to check if a text field in my item has text and if yes i want to display it. If this field is empty i dont want to display anything.
Whats the correct formula for this?

${item.waffe_DESC2 != ' ' ? concat(string(item.waffe_DESC2)) : ' ' }$

throws an error (Cannot convert xyz to a number

[dense pine]

${item.waffe_DESC2 != '' ? string(item.waffe_DESC2) : ''}$

same error

${item.waffe_DESC2 != '' ? item.waffe_DESC2 : ''}$

same error

[modern hemlock]

use this field

it'll show the element if it evaluates to true

[dense pine]

unfortunately that does not work in this case, as the field holds some more formulas that i want to display

[fringe silo]

so i need to ref a drop down in a label formula, what i have so far is Power Target: ref (dropdownkey, key (which is a number)), its just giving me the formula instead of the value on the sheet, how do i make it give the value what am i doing wrong

nvm got it to work another way

[modern hemlock]

Is there a function/something to update the specified item from its template (using a JS macro)?
I want to update all items attached to an actor when the GM clicks a button on that actor's sheet

basically a way to call this button's listener via JS

[frosty charm]

Is there's a way to use JB2A Animation in CSB?

[vagrant hollow]

Sure, with the module sequencer you can arrange every videoanimation in a macro, and these macros can be called via CSB.

[fringe silo]

can items effect number fields, like a talent which is a kind of item that can effect a number field that is used to calculate hitpoints, like stone body that would give 1 armor and 10 max hit points

[vagrant hollow]

In an item you can set item modifier, but these can not effect a number field directly, but they can effect a label. So have a label witch is sowing the value of the number field and can be modified though an item modifier.

[twin goblet]

I'm asking for your help, because I've been trying to solve the code for the two rolls below for a day and a half, but it doesn't work 🤔

the first roll is on the character sheet, and it works fine.

it compares the roll with the Skill_value1 Key, and also displays it in the Chat window.
${[1d100cs<=:Skill_value1:]}$ #Skill Check

my problem with this is that the result is a not very informative 0 or 1 - and depending on the result, it would be good if it would print Success or Failure.

The second macro:

Here the result was formatted successfully, and the roll is running in its current state. The problem is that the difficulty level is written in it - and it would be good if it used the value of the key: Skill_value1 from the character sheet of the selected character.

I think that's why it needs to be started with a check:
let actor = game.user.character || canvas.tokens.controlled[0]?.actor;
if (actor) {
console.log(actor.getRollData());}
else {
ui.notifications.warn("Please select a character!");
}

then using the Uuid of the character sheet template (Actor.UN6TYJNxbKCmghKg) need to retrieve the value of the Skill_value1 key and compare it with the result of the roll. I couldn't solve this with this macro.

I hope you can help!

[candid badger]

can an item added to an item template modify it?
...or can items modify items at all?

[zinc verge]

hey, so I'm trying to create a Short Rest button for my game, but I'm finding that when the button puts the current HP and Energy over their maximum values, it won't correct the issue until the button is pressed again.

The formula I'm using is as follows. Is there some way to make it say, "if this formula resolving puts the values over their maximums, set them to their maximums"? As it stands it only corrects if the values were already over their maximums when the button was pressed.

[hollow crow]

Evening Guys! Just updated to 4.3.2 and my Attribute Bars don't seem to work anymore. They cant read the component key reference, only the numbers directly. E.g., i have my current health points in a number field (component key "custom_hp") and my maximum health points in a label (component key "max_hp"). I put these two components respectively in the "Value" and "Maximum" fields of the Attribute Bar Editor, and named 'HP' the bar in the "Name" field (which is a simple string to identify the bar). However the fields of the attribute bar won't populate, as shown in image. If i put in those fields simple numbers (e.g. 182 in the value field and 200 in the maximum field), the bar shows up, but i need it to change dinamically as the field on the character's sheet. Any ideas why is this?

[ornate junco]

Quick question. What formula should be used to find the durability of an amor piece (item) and apply it to a number field either in a Table or Dynamic table.

Would it be find or?

[ornate junco]

Please ping me when someone can answer. Thanks. :)

[formal goblet]

entity.reloadTemplate()

[formal goblet]

${#result:= [1d100cs<=:Skill_value1:]}$
${result ? 'Success' : 'Failure'}$

2. It prioritizes game.user.character over canvas.tokens.controlled[0]?.actor. I don't know if this is your intention or not.

[formal goblet]

Items modify the direct parent entity, so Items can modify other Items.

[formal goblet]

You have to explicitly use min() in the formula to cap your result, because there's no safeguard-mechanism preventing that.

[formal goblet]

I don't see a need if you put ${max_hp}$ into the max-field of the Number field. This will automatically create an Attribute Bar for you.

And the reason why it's not working for you, is that you forgot the formula delimiters. There's probably an error message in the console telling you that.

[formal goblet]

Number fields cannot be changed automatically, you need a manual trigger like a Label Roll Message. Is that fine for you?

[ornate junco]

I wanted to provide more context to my original question: #1037072885044477962 message

I am trying to take the durability of the listed armor items shown in the image and apply them to the other table. For example, taking the helmet durability and putting into the total armor.

[ornate junco]

I am actually doing that already within my system.

I didn't know if there was a new way with the system's updates to fetch the durability number from the column and apply it to the number field.

For reference on how my players are equipping armor currently.

[formal goblet]

I'd use find() on the Item Displayer to fetch the right value and setPropertyInEntity() to override the corresponding Number Field.

Why not just an equipped-property in the Item itself?

[ornate junco]

Can you elaborate a little further? I currently have a equipped checkbox within the item itself that players can toggle.

[formal goblet]

I see, and for what do you need the Table?

[ornate junco]

The table shown in the screenshot is used for combat purposes. Players subtract their armor and then health when taking damage.

[formal goblet]

I see, you have zone hitpoints

[ornate junco]

I do indeed.

My players enjoy having a more "complex" system for rp purposes.

I have a majority that like to do medical based roleplay within my campaigns, which leads to the zone hitpoints coming into play.

[ornate junco]

My thought process behind the formula I’m trying to create is as follows: If an item is equipped, its value is pulled from the item container and applied to the total armor value.

For example, if a Cloth Helmet is equipped and has an armor value of 10, that value is retrieved from the item container and transferred to my Combat Table, where it is applied to the corresponding field—Helmet’s Total Armor.

Not sure if that explanation helps.

[hollow crow]

I've tried this afternoon with and without delimiters but with no result. Putting ${max_hp}$ into the max-field of the Number field did the trick and unlocked a long list of Attribute Bars that weren't there before (perhaps i should have reload the application after the update). Don't know why, but the important is that now is working. Thanks Martin!

[ornate junco]

Ping me whenever you get the chance to answer Martin. Thanks for the help as always.

[zinc verge]

aaaah perfect I completely forgot about min() thank you

[formal goblet]

Then change Armor in your Table to a Label instead, so that your Item Modifiers can modify that. You can't modify Input Components otherwise.

[ornate junco]

What formula would I be using exactly to do so?

[formal goblet]

Table or Dynamic Table?

[ornate junco]

Item to Table.

I can always make it a Dynamic table if needed.

[formal goblet]

How is HP of the zones calculated? Are these static?

[ornate junco]

Its pulled from a seperate section in the sheet.

Its in my GM/DM section.

[formal goblet]

But these are different per zone, so they're not equal.

And your value in your Number Field won't update automatically. You can try that out.

[ornate junco]

Correct, the overall health is entreated into PC total health. Then divided as needed to reflect the actual health of each body part (zone).

So pull from the item and feed it into a label is what I'm gathering, correct?

[formal goblet]

Yeah, but it makes a difference if the Label is in a Table or Dynamic Table.

I'd use a Dynamic Table to reduce redundancy, but that's your choice at the end

If Dynamic Table, then I'd create an additional (maybe hidden) column to reflect the percentage of the total HP for each zone.

And then I'd use fetchFromParent("lookupRef('dynamicTableKey', 'armor', 'Body_Part', '${Body_Part}$')") in the Key of the modifier to select the right Label.

[ornate junco]

May I ask why create this column? I would love to find ways to better optimize the system I've created.

[formal goblet]

So that a formula can determine, how much total HP the zone should have

[ornate junco]

Is the dynamictablekey the key of the new "combat" table or the item container? I'm assuming it's the new "combat" table but I'm making sure

[ornate junco]

Gotcha ya.

[formal goblet]

The Dynamic Table, that should replace your current Table.

Your Armor Items should have a Dropdown to allow the selection, to which body part they apply. This way, we can select the right row to modify later.

[ornate junco]

I'm guessing within the item.

Can I default that value per item just to make it easier?

[formal goblet]

Dropdowns can have default values, yeah.

[ornate junco]

Perfect. Would I be able to feed the label value of Total Armor into just a number field for armor? (I'm assuming no.)

Is it possible to pull the number field value within the item itself into another number field within the sheet?

[formal goblet]

Number fields cannot depend on other Components per design (aside at the time of creation).

[ornate junco]

Fair enough.

I was just trying to think of a way for a repair button. That will pull from the total armor equipped and place that number within the number field that the players use.

I'll work on this more tomorrow and poke your brain again if needed. Thanks Martin.

[formal goblet]

A repair button would be something different, because you'd use a Label Roll Message for that. And these allow you to override the current value of any Input Component

[ornate junco]

Could I pull the value from the Total Armor label?

[formal goblet]

Sure, read through setPropertyInEntity() and setValue()

[ornate junco]

Oh interesting.

See I have something like that going on now with the labels I showed you prior.

But that was to equip the armor pieces originally.

[formal goblet]

You'll run into consistency issues if your players decide not to use your button to equip an Armor Item.

[ornate junco]

My players have been good so far, but I have been trying to think of a way to avoid that.

[fringe silo]

how would you, ref a drp down in a roll formula that would decide on which skill to use for that roll,

what i have fpr one of my rolls is

${#?{tarnumnummod:'Roll Modifier'[number]|0}}$
${#tarnumnum:=sum(powrankpc,powscorepc*2,comskilldd_unarmed)}$
<table>
<th>Roll Results</th>
<tr><td>Target Number:</td><td>${!rolltar:= min((tarnumnum + tarnumnummod),95)}$</td></tr>
<tr><td>Roll:</td><td> ${roll:=[1d100]}$</td></tr>
<tr><td>${#degsuc:= roll <= 5 ? 4 + floor((rolltar - roll)/15) : roll <= rolltar ? 1 + floor((rolltar - roll)/15) : 0}$</td><td>${!roll <= 5 ? "Critical Success!" : ' '}$</td></tr>
<tr></tr>
<tr><td>Result:</td><td> ${roll <= rolltar ? concat(degsuc, " Degrees of Success!") : 'Abject Failure'}$</td></tr>
<tr>${#setPropertyInEntity('self', 'lastDOS', 'degsuc')}$
<tr></tr> <tr><td>Base Damage:</td><td>${!basedam:=item.damagedrop}$</td></tr>
<tr><td>Total Damage:</td><td>${!(basedam * degsuc)}$ ${!item.damagetypedrop}$ ${!item.damagetypedrop2 ? concat("and ", 'item.damagetypedrop2') : ' '}$ damage</td>

where would i add a drop down chk to this to decide on weather to use this which is unarmed skill or one lets say set up for melee, ranged or casting

[formal goblet]

If your Dropdown option keys match with Component keys , then ref(dropdownKey), otherwise use switchCase()

[sinful spade]

hey martin

long time no see

im working on a character creation process within the sheet, but am having difficulty figuring out how to make buttons that give players items (e.g. choose race), and update fields elsewhere in the sheet.
So entering your characters height in the creator updates it elsewhere in the sheet.

Any suggestions?

[formal goblet]

Creating items must be done with a script, there's no formula for that. Updating fields can be done with setPropertyInEntity() or setValue()

[sinful spade]

not creating a new item but adding it to a character sheet, does that make a difference?

[formal goblet]

There's almost no difference, because in both cases a new Item is created. It's just that one has initial data and the other doesn't.

[sinful spade]

i see... 🤔
i checked the FAQ for a prewritten give player script but there isn't one.
I'll see if GPT can help write one

[formal goblet]

Check Foundry documentation, because it's their functionality

Look for createEmbeddedDocuments() or something similar.

[austere lantern]

I've been trying to get some rollable stats for a system. The problem is the way the system works the GM sets the difficulty of the roll and then the player compares the character stat to the roll then depending on the difference that tells them what dice to roll. As an example if the stat is = to difficulty of the check, the player would roll 2d8, if the stat is 1 higher than the difficulty then they roll 1d8+1d10, if its 1 lower then they roll 1d8+1d6. The system can go all the way up to 2d12 and all the way down to 2d4. I was orignally trying to make a dynamic table to do something like a find function where the filter was (CharacterStat - CheckDifficulty) to pull the result from the coresponding row. However, I kept getting the reading '0' undefined error. Even trying to pull the stat number via component key gives me that error. I'm at a loss as to what I'm doing wrong. I'll try posting some of the things I've tried tomorrow, but help would be appreciated if anybody could help me with this.

[sinful spade]

Make a popup on roll that contains a dropdown that searches the value on a dynamic table with the values, then compare those values against the stat selected in another dropdown which calculates the roll, rolls it, and displays the outcome in chat

[sinful spade]

i've been trying to change the value of the dropdown for about 3 hours now using JS, the built in functions, and console and nothing is working. 🤔 Is it just because it's a dropdown?

you good @clever patio ?

[clever patio]

yup, just typing my question. Thanks for the asking 😂

Sorry if I disupt the chain. Does the "dynamic table" mentioned in dropdown is the same "dynamic table" in Component library? Coz I am a bit confused and don't know how to put a salection from a dropdown list into a formula.

[sinful spade]

Using the DynT in the Drop just means the options in the dropdown are generated from a selected DynT.
For example, I have a dropdown that auto populates with a list of all cosmetic titles unlocked, so players can choose which one to primarily display on their charactersheet for funsies

I think I also used this function for reputation levels, as well as selecting what skill / attribute a player is using to attack with given a weapon

[clever patio]

I see. My idea is something like: Selecting skill + attribute + weapon.

So I have made a few dropdown lists form players for their attack.

[sinful spade]

you can do it that way, though i made the attack a part of the weapon itself, and the selection of skill and ability as well

[clever patio]

Sorry for my bad wording, I was referring to damage. My idea is that the damage is base on the Magic class and the Gem a PC is holding, it create a multiply factor (listed in the photo) and multiply to the attribute. So I am thinking about making a formula that will involve three dropdown list (Magic class, Gem, attribute).

[sinful spade]

are the gem and class static?

[clever patio]

Yes,

[sinful spade]

I see, in that case I'd make a dynmaic table, reference the column and row to a label outside the table and reference the label whenever i needed that information

[clever patio]

waht if they are not ststic? Like a PC can change the class and gem.

[sinful spade]

i mean as long as it's not every roll for example then i'd do the same thing

if it's something that happens on occasion you'd just need to change the items and the label should update.

and by items i mean however you're telling the system to check what column and row, dropdowns, radio buttons, whatever.

if it's frequent then i'd have a dialog prompt asking for that information each roll

[clever patio]

Thanks! I will try to make it then.

[sinful spade]

Over 12 hours of work getting these buttons to work so far, but I feel like we needed a win in the chat

havent really done much of the css yet - and i need more input fields but. so far so good ^^

[fringe silo]

im running into a problem with items, so with equipment items id like the modifiers they give to only be active when equiped right now they do the adjustments when not equiped an just in the inventory page how can i fix this

[waxen thorn]

Hello Community. I'm strugling with an item-modifier. The modifier should increase a label-value in a dynamic-table in the actor which holds the item. i tried lookupref in the keyfield but it doesnt work. if i enter the datapath in keyfield it does work. if i use a hidden attribute in the actor to check if the lookupref works it does. the lookupRef would be lookupRef('TBL_Basic_Skills','Basic_Skill_Value','Basic_Skill_Name','Sneak'). Im realy clueless how to get it to work as intended. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

[formal goblet]

fetchFromParent("lookupRef(...)")

[formal goblet]

${equipped ? 1 : 0}$ in the modifier value

[marble mural]

Is there a way to add a label button to a sheet that will activate a macro?

Hmmm...I think I figured out how to do it.

[waxen thorn]

Thank You. It didn't work right away. I had to add ${fetchfromParent(..)}$ . Written as formula it worked perfectly!

[candid badger]

can an item added to an item template modify it?
...or can items modify items at all?

[formal goblet]

Items modify the direct parent entity in the hirachy. So they can modify other Items.

[normal ore]

@formal goblet, is there a way to do something similar in the new version?
I tried it this way, but it didn’t work!

[candid badger]

Okay - thank you!
I wasn't getting the result I was aiming for, and wanted to make sure it was even possible before digging in deeper to solve it. Basically, I want to provide upgrades to armor.

[formal goblet]

Nope, only 1 - 1 and n - 1 is possible, not n - n

[normal ore]

thank you!

[ionic wing]

Hi ! Do someone know how I can send an actor ID to a macro in CSB? I talk about the _id field in the json of the actor. Here is the code i'm trying to run, I wrote HERE where I want the actor id to be added
%{return await game.macros.getName('JetCaractéristique').execute({actorId: 'HERE'})}%

Thanks !

[formal goblet]

entity.entity.id

[ionic wing]

Thanks 🙂

[calm fable]

Any idea why if I use $ {label}$ with label being the component key of a Label element gives me an error?

[formal goblet]

With an actual error in the console or just ERROR without any console error? Because the later is also produced, when the result is either undefined or null

[calm fable]

Uncaught (in promise) Error: undefined. Uncomputable token "magmagialab"

magmagialab being the component key

[formal goblet]

Do you have uncomputed props-warnings?

[calm fable]

like this?
Error: Failed data preparation for Actor.hrwYKCEiNaitDuIt. Invalid left-hand side expression in prefix operation

ah yes, I just saw what you said

[formal goblet]

Nope, but maybe also something you have to consider

[formal goblet]

Is the Label listed there? If so, that's the reason

If you have a dependency chain, then you have to go down the whole chain until you find the root cause

[calm fable]

I don't see the relationship in this case

I'm trying in a new world just in case

[ornate junco]

@formal goblet Hey, I wanted to follow up from our conversation from a day or two ago. I decided to stick with a regular table after getting some feedback from my players.

I am changing my "Total Armor" number fields to labels to pull in the total value of the durability per armor piece.

However, I am a little confused on how to use the find and setPropertyEntity in this case. I am trying to find the durablity value of an armor piece that is equipped, has the name helmet in it, and then apply that durablity number to the label in the table.

How exactly would I be combing these formulas to do so? Are they going to be separate formulas in different places?

I'll provide pictures as well for reference.

[formal goblet]

You don't need setPropertyInEntity() if the goal is to automatically adjust a Label, simply find() in the Label will suffice. HOWEVER, looking for something, that contains a certain text, is something, that can't be accomplished with find(). And also, searching with multiple criteria is also not doable with find() (but can be done with alookup(), but suffers the same issue with the contains). It would be the best, if your Items would contain a Dropdown, which selects the Zone for which the Armor should apply and you reflect that in the Item Displayer. This way, we can use alookup() and sum() or first() (If you want to allow stacking or not).

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/#422-alookup

[ornate junco]

Could I use the lookup as well to make sure it pulls in the item that is equipped? Is there a comparison I can use for that?

[formal goblet]

What do you mean with pulls in?

[ornate junco]

Pulls in meaning it takes the durability value of the equipped item and not a random item within the item display that a player is holding onto.

[formal goblet]

Ah, yeah. It only depends on the filter

[ornate junco]

Gotcha ya.

I'll add the dropdown in and get back to you.

Thank you.

[ornate junco]

Quick follow up question. Could I make it a label instead of a dropdown?

[feral owl]

👍👎 Are if statements in label roll functions nest-able?

(Or do I have to go mingle with macros?)

[formal goblet]

They are

[feral owl]

Cool ty I’ll just be getting some of the logic wrong then

[flat hazel]

Monk Enchanted Journal adds currency to an actor but I can't write it out ,
Does anyone know how to output a number from an attribute in the currency folder, currency.BI to display the amount of currency the character currently has or some alternative? ,
My attempts only gave only NaN or Error results , maybe am stupid or something or this module don t work great with CSB .

[formal goblet]

What's the data path in which those custom properties are stored?

[flat hazel]

How do i check that to be sure , I don t get a wrong one ?

[formal goblet]

game.actors.getName('actorName') in the console and then you can look throught it. CSB stores them under system.props.

[flat hazel]

Wait my friend gonna send this

[final mural]

the server host here
is this the right thing?

[flat hazel]

I think this currency is not stored in the props but only in the currency(folder) in the actor , or maybe am stupid enough.

thats, interesting

[formal goblet]

Yeah, but it's a hassle to look that up on mobile.

[final mural]

fair enough

what to look for so i can help narrow it down?

[formal goblet]

But I can tell, that the folder-prop at the top doesn't come from Foundry or CSB.

[formal goblet]

See if there's currency in system.props

[flat hazel]

em I found it

thats it

XD

[formal goblet]

You should have access to it with %{return entity.system.currency;}%

[flat hazel]

Man i love you 😭 it works

[candid badger]

I have a label component that is a die (e.g. 1d4, 1d6, etc.) I want to roll that die by clicking on the label, but all I get in the chat message is the die (e.g. 1d4, 1d6, etc.) but not the result of the roll which is what I am aiming for. How would you type that formula?

[formal goblet]

${[1d6]}$ or ${[:componentKey:]}$

[candid badger]

[::] was what I was missing - THANK YOU!

[sinful spade]

Does anyone know why using
${[1d6]+9}$ as a defualt number doesn't work?

it comes back as not a number

[sturdy mesa]

Does anyone know a macro to reload all item template inside a compendium?

[ruby frigate]

Hi does anyone know if there is a way to move item between actors without duplicating them?

[ruby frigate]

odd
it works for me, did you put it in a roll formula?

[formal goblet]

Because Roll Formulas are not allowed outside of Label Roll Messages.

[waxen thorn]

Hello again. Is it possible to trigger an individual userinput inside a rollmessage only if a certain condition is met eg ${equaltext(Skill,'Sneak')?<call userinput>:<do smthing else>}$

[sinful spade]

The random function also didn't work, so I had to use another label and a manual button to push that change to the dyn table

[sinful spade]

Personally in this use case I'd just use the alt roll to prompt the user input. 👌 Too many weird situations come up in game to not just have it accessable.

But you :should: be able to do that. Doesn't hurt to try at least

[sinful spade]

Like this?
https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Scripts/Scripts-for-Compendiums

[silver lake]

Can someone tell me what's wrong with this:

${?{Oddity:'Oddity?'|"${!fetchFromDynamicTable('OddityTable', 'CSpheres').join('"|"')}$"}}$

It's part of a roll macro in the sheet. It's meant to create a dropdown in a roll prompt window, which will later be used to lower the CSpheres value from the referenced dynamic table.

Later in the roll that is

I'm on version 3.0.0

It just gives me an ERROR in a text box instead.

The name of the Table is 'OddityTable', the name of the numberfield to be modified is 'CSpheres'

[candid badger]

Hello
I have an item displayer on an equippable item, but when I try to display the item in that container on the character sheet it is showing up as [object Object]. Is there a special syntax needed to get these to show up?

[normal ore]

Hey everyone! Hope you're doing well.

I'm facing an issue and would love to hear any suggestions.

I have attribute bars set as numeric values in CSB, which allows me to modify them using the setValues formula. This works fine for direct adjustments.

However, some of my items need to increase HP or MP by a specific percentage, such as 10% of HP or 10% of MP. The issue is that these attributes (HP and MP) are set as numeric fields in CSB, rather than labels.

Because of this, I'm unable to apply the percentage-based modification correctly. Has anyone dealt with this before or have any suggestions on how to fix it?

[austere lantern]

Ok so I've made the dynamic table for the rolls, and now I need to figure out how to set a proper popup to populate the options and compare the stat numbers to the check difficulty.

[sinful spade]

popup asking what the difficulty is, what the player skill is, find the difference
get that value from the column and on the same row get the dice?

[austere lantern]

yeah. also here is a look at how one of the stats is on the sheet, I want to make sure that the way I have it setup won't cause problems

The system uses a progression sheet so I have a bunch of checkboxes that you click when spending exp to buy the stat. I have those added together on the stat lable.

since it's a boolean value and goes from 0 to 1 when checked it seems to work to add them all together, but I can't help but think I might be doing something janky.

[austere lantern]

So would I use something like the find function or would I use lookup for the dynamic table?

I cannibalized the popup example, but I think I got the first part right.

ok, I'm just trying to get the a number that is the checkdifficulty - statchoice number just to test it and nothing prints.

${#Roll(
?{checkdifficulty: "Check Difficulty"[number]},
?{statchoice:'Which Stat'|"MEstat","Mind"|"BEstat","Body"|"CEstat","Community"}
)[(:checkdifficulty: - :statchoice:)]}$

where am I going wrong?

[austere lantern]

actually I can't even get it to print a stat number to chat. In the roll message I just tried

${BEstat}$

and it won't print that stat to the chat. Am I doing it wrong?

[formal goblet]

Check the console with F12

[jaunty rock]

Is there a way to make an inventory similar to the 5e sheet (attached)? It seems the item displayer only displays items with a way to edit stats by clicking on the item itself, but I'd like to have a number field on the same row as the item so players can edit the item count on their sheet. I don't want something where players input items in themselves, I want the ability to drop items onto the sheet to add them.

If it's not possible with the current tools, is there a module that could help me achieve this? Thanks!

[formal goblet]

Currently not possible.

[jaunty rock]

Thanks for the response!

[sullen spoke]

Is there any way to apply a penalty to all rolls without having to edit each roll formula on the sheet?

[waxen thorn]

not that i could think of. you would need to edit all formula and add a generic modifier which you could then apply itemmodifiers or effects to. eg ${[:rollformula:+:custom_mod:}$ custom_mod would be a hidden attribute that you could target with other formulas.

[brave trench]

I'm not sure how to word this question so I'll give context. In regards to an actor with a bow (item on an actor) with various arrows (items on items). Is it possible to have the various arrow options show on the actor sheet? Or am I limited to opening the bow item then rolling the attack/dmg dice from the list of arrows there?

[sullen spoke]

That’s what I figured, just wanted to ask. Thanks for the reply!

[heavy elm]

Hey, when I try to drop an item from an actor to my itemfolders I get an error.

Whats this and how to fix? I dropped an Item on an actor and want to drop it back to my folders because I delelted it there

[waxen thorn]

Think of the item as a blueprint and the item in actor as the real build. You cant disassemble the item to get the blueprint back. Sorry for my bad english.

[heavy elm]

It worked all the updates before with no trouble, so its not working anymore?

I really need that item as blueprint, It contains alot of work...

[waxen thorn]

possible workaround. try to export the actor (right click on actor in folder), search for the item, cut it out in a seperate .json-file and try to import back in itemfolder.. maybe that could work.

[heavy elm]

I'll try

[heavy elm]

It worked 😄

Thank you, you saved me alot of time

[waxen thorn]

Judging from your Consol-Log-Picture: Gern geschehen. 🙂

[heavy elm]

Still I dont understand why the whole thing changed the way it worked. I had no trouble before moving items around.

[bleak wyvern]

Heya, looking for some help with the Custom System Builder... been trying to figure out how to make a button to roll attack/damage dice, and other things like that, any helpful answers? 😅

[mortal flower]

Someone can help me? I wanna make an item rollable just by clicking in the name in an item holder, this is possible?

[coral hemlock]

Yes. Use a Label with a roll value. Label text is the name of the field. Label roll message is where you put the roll expression. Or do you mean an item in an item container? In which case I don't think it's possible from the name as clicking it opens the item. However in item template you create a label (for example rollLabel) use icon only and include the roll expression, then in the item container add a column with a label with the label text pointing to the item roll label. ${item.rollLabel}$ this would then be a clickable icon next to the name of the item, The colums can be moved so the icon could be before the name

[coral hemlock]

Use a label, the label style can be changed to Button, the label text is written on the button, Label roll message is where you put the rol expression. If you prefer an icon leave the label style as the default (ie don't use button), leave the Label Text blank and in Label Icon include the Font_awesome Icon name

[sinful spade]

Yeah it's not possible to say remove the item if quantity hits 0, but I don't see why you couldn't have a number field reflected within the item displayer's line from within the item sheet.

In mine i've referenced damage values and exported them to a button that rolls that quanitity of dice and relevant modifiers.
I'd be pretty confidident in making buttons that increase ore decrease a quantity value being possible 🤔

[sinful spade]

I have it where it rolls when you click normally, but if you shift click it prompts for user input on how to change the modifiers.
It'd be possible to make an advantage system or change the dice quantity with the same concept.

[sinful spade]

you could include a dropdown list of the arrow types within the item, and have your roll button use conditional logic to figure out which is selected, check for quanity, then roll the appropraite dice

within my items i check if the player wants to use an attribute or ability (skill), and which of each to roll with using a radio button and dropdown combo

[sinful spade]

erm, not necessarily the name? but I've made dice buttons appear next to items with an attack feature that can be clicked, see the image I attached responding to Lavaman.
I suppose using css you could disable the pointer-event that would open the item info and make the button span the entire width... though then you'd be also making a button to open the item info, which wouldn't be too bad but eh.

[sinful spade]

i dont have enough information to help you but your code looks incomplete.
you reference checkdifficulty - statchoice but never export that number or use it anyway?

But specifically to answer your question, I know there's better shorter ways - but I always use
ref('stat')
or
lookup('table', 'column', 'filter', 'filterValue')

[bleak wyvern]

ok its where I suspected... but how do I make it automatic to roll for example... attack/damage? and it be based off of the other values in the row... like if I use a code or whatever I am oblivious to it... 😅

[sinful spade]

is it an item or a table?

[bleak wyvern]

like I used a table, not dynamic table just regular table, and am putting skills that include attribute scores, ranks, and other bonuses...

[sinful spade]

and you want to roll those skills correct?

[bleak wyvern]

yeah, like later wanna do the same for attacks but rn just figuring out the rolls for skills

[sinful spade]

is it a dice pool? or a d20+mod system?

[bleak wyvern]

rn just using the custom system builder... didn't add other mods or systems

[sinful spade]

nono i mean like

what value are you referencing? the quanity of dice? the face of the dice (d4, d6, d8...), or a modifier like say D&D where it's diceroll + strength modifier

[bleak wyvern]

like adding strength mod yeeeee

[sinful spade]

to a flat d20 yes?

[bleak wyvern]

ummm yes the skills of this are all flat d20

then it would be plus mod, plus rank, and plus bonus, ill put picture reference

[sinful spade]

${[1d20]+ref('Strength')}$

erm is the bonus already on the character sheet or do you need to prompt to ask for it?

[bleak wyvern]

have yet to have players make characters so number is not decided if thats what ur asking 👀

[sinful spade]

so if you want to ask as a popup at the time of roll:
${#?{bonus[number]}}$
Rolling ${roll:=[1d20]}$
<br><br>
Result : ${roll + ref('Strength') + bonus}$

idk what your rank system is but same concepts apply

[bleak wyvern]

but is that to the point that it will auto update if any of the numbers (rank, mod, bonus) were to change? 👀

[bleak wyvern]

like refering my screenshot there is button in bottom right, can it be set up to whatever the values are in the 3 surrounding areas will auto be put in? if that makes sense 😅

[sinful spade]

it actively asks for the bonus that the user inputs at the time of roll, and gets the strength value at the time of roll from the character sheet. No value is pre-defined before the roll

i mean you can 'get' the roll stat referenced in the dropdown.

[bleak wyvern]

ill put in the code real quick to get a visual 👍

it doesn't seem to be working...... 🥲

like it gave prompt for bonus and thats nice... but how to have it actually roll... cuz it didnt roll

[sinful spade]

i just ran that code on my system, it works.
the issue would be the component key 'Strength' isn't in your system.

change it to be your strength value

[bleak wyvern]

ok so its the mod dropdown in the middle that has the value that needs to be added to the roll...... what exactly from the dropdown component do I need to input the value it is on...?

[sinful spade]

what even? lol what is the dropdown mod?

what is the value?

[bleak wyvern]

I do apologize 😅 😂 I am new to foundry as it is so I may not be doing things correctly, but like the value for example would be 12, thus making the mod +1
I made it dropdown cuz its all I could figure out to do... 👉 👈 ... 😂 😭

[sinful spade]

ehh? so is the dropdown selection values +1 +2 +3...?

[bleak wyvern]

essentially, its not automated either, just manually done cuz I didnt know how to make it automated based on the value 🥲

[sinful spade]

i mean how is it caluclated?

[bleak wyvern]

the mod based off the value? 👀

[sinful spade]

👍

[bleak wyvern]

so 10/11 is a mod of zero...... every two up or down in value equates to (+/-)1 mod
so like 9 and 8 value is both -1 mod

[sinful spade]

so dnd 5e?

[bleak wyvern]

and so on......

I suppose so yeeeeee

[sinful spade]

this, right?

[bleak wyvern]

yup pretty much 😂

[sinful spade]

er,
%{floor(${(ref('Value')}$-10)/2)}%

[bleak wyvern]

where do I plug that in???

[sinful spade]

hold onthere's an erro with that

im trying to find it

[bleak wyvern]

gotcha

[sinful spade]

ok apparently referencing math JS isn't showing me love but doing it through CSB is fine

[sinful spade]

${floor((ref('Strength')-10)/2)}$

put that in label text, replacing the dropdown by strength

change Strength to the component key of strength's value number field

[bleak wyvern]

😱 ITS WORKING!!!!!!!!!

lemme try that with the rest to make sure I got it down real quick...

I Understand how it works... thank you so much it looks so much nicer!!! 🤩

[sinful spade]

all good.

so you still need your attack button?

[bleak wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/enough-to-make-a-grown-man-cry-gif-12572460963092080525

[bleak wyvern]

yeeeeees, first the skills cuz again I got none setup for attacks cuz players havent setup anything yet lol

[sinful spade]

what is rank and how does it factor in?

[bleak wyvern]

so this right here

so rank is depending on lvl of characters... it can be manually entered in so thats not my current concern... just on the number in the rank text to be auto added to the roll

cuz the skills go up by one every 2 levels automatically, but when favored go up every level(+3) so at lvl 1, unfavored is rank 1, favored is rank 4

again not that it matters much but just thought I'd answer the question 😂

[sinful spade]

right but how does that impact your roll

a level 1 'atheletics' check vs a level 2 for example

[bleak wyvern]

just adding it to the roll, just like the mod is being added to the roll

so if it rank 4, then its a +4 to the roll, straight forward : D

[sinful spade]

you still want the bonus popup? or you wanna grab it from the numberfield you have

[bleak wyvern]

if it can be grabbed from the number entered in the bonus field that would be great yes 👀

[sinful spade]

${ref('skillSelect') == 1 ? [1d20]+ref('Strength')+ref('rankValue') : ref('skillSelect') == 2 ? [1d20]+ref('Dex')+ref('rankValue') :
[1d20]}$

checks the dropdown, if the selected key = 1, roll a d20 add strength, add the value of the rank number field, if it's == 2, roll d20, add dex, add value of rank number, if it's anything else just roll a d20.

add ref('bonus') if you'd like

i guess you could also just roll one dice at the start - and save the value to be added rather than having multiple hidden dice rolls. that may be cleaner.

so

<br><br>
${
ref('skillSelect') == 1 ? roll+ref('Strength')+ref('rankValue') : ref('skillSelect') == 2 ? roll+ref('Dex')+ref('rankValue') :
roll}$```

[bleak wyvern]

that didnt seem to work...

[sinful spade]

brudha

you need to update the component keys

the things in the 'apostrophies'

idk what you called your shit lol

[bleak wyvern]

is the skill select the mod from the table you helped me with? 👀

[sinful spade]

no skill select is the dropdown

look at the image i snet

of the dropdown

[bleak wyvern]

ahhhhhhhhh

[austere lantern]

Apologies for the long delay, I had to go to bed for work.

[sinful spade]

martin wont be on for a while, it's some crazy hour in the morning for him

[austere lantern]

gotcha. It's kinda late for me, so I can check tomorrow when I get up.

[bleak wyvern]

so it rolled a flat d20, and said error... I put all the correct key components

[austere lantern]

also I just now saw your message.

[sinful spade]

check your dropdown values.

your 'Key*' needs to be set to 1, 2, and soforth, and you need to exand the logic the = the number of keys you have

[austere lantern]

so i think I'll go to bed and hit you all up earlier when I'm awake and I have enough time to walk through the proper steps.

[sinful spade]

again, refer to the image

[sinful spade]

sleep well mate

[austere lantern]

Thanks, have a good morning/afternoon/night!

[bleak wyvern]

I put the 1 and 2 in the same places as you... what is the logic? 👀

[sinful spade]

.

capitalization matters

skillSelect != SkillSelect

[bleak wyvern]

I made all the capitalization the same

[sinful spade]

and what's the error coming up?

[bleak wyvern]

nothing was added to the d20, I even put '3' in the text for the rank and it wasnt added

[sinful spade]

ok so it rolls the d20 fine but there's an error where the addition occurs. You are referencing the component key 'STR' is that the component key for the strength modifer value we made earlier?

[bleak wyvern]

the key component on the mod in the table correct?

[sinful spade]

mhm

[bleak wyvern]

Im not sure if it is working correctly but its not error and is actually showing result now 😂

Scratch that it is working, had to make sure by playing around with it

https://tenor.com/view/heinz-doofenshmirtz-content-gif-26874036

Ill now test it with one more from the table to make sure I got it down

I Understand it now, it works Loevely... now to try and add bonus to the equation like you prompted earlier...

I GOT DOWN THE BONUS!!!

[sinful spade]

you can include a "value" line then a total line if you want.

just duplicate the logic less the roll.

<br><br>
Adding ${
ref('skillSelect') == 1 ? ref('Strength')+ref('rankValue') : ref('skillSelect') == 2 ? ref('Dex')+ref('rankValue') :
roll}$
<br><br>
Total ${
ref('skillSelect') == 1 ? roll+ref('Strength')+ref('rankValue') : ref('skillSelect') == 2 ? roll+ref('Dex')+ref('rankValue') :
roll}$```

you can (again optionally) clean up the logic as well

<br><br>
Adding ${
ref('skillSelect') == 1 ? strMod:=ref('Strength')+ref('rankValue') : ref('skillSelect') == 2 ? dexMod:=ref('Dex')+ref('rankValue') :
roll}$
<br><br>
Total ${
ref('skillSelect') == 1 ? roll+strMod : ref('skillSelect') == 2 ? roll+dexMod :
roll}$```

something like this, though i already deleted my test character so idk if that's the exact syntax

[bleak wyvern]

I mean I'm not picky about how clean it is... 👀 Like its working now and I have no prob duplicating the process

[sinful spade]

lol 🤣 yeah im the same way
you don't actually have to call ref('key') like I do.
martin had a fit when he was i do that haha
but it makes it readble for me and it's how i learned, now im too lazy to fix the habit

i think you can just 'componentKey' in most cases

[bleak wyvern]

yeah its working out for me so no complaints here 😂

I will say tho its past midnight where Im at so me brain is not gonna be able to go on much longer, Ill prob finish doing this for the rest of the things that need it, and then might come back asking bout attacks when needed lol, but seriously I appreciate the help m8, my dumb butt has such hard time understanding code as is, thank you for you patience with me 🙏

[sinful spade]

lol all good.
I can't code either 💀
just learning as i go along building my sheet.
I rely heavily on chat gpt to get most of my more advanced features to run.

I've spent the last 4 hours trying to make a 'random' button for selecting a dropdown value if the players want to tempt fate

if it takes me more than another hours im telling them to roll a d12 irl and manually put it in fuck it

[bleak wyvern]

😂 😭 I feel that man

but anyways I do bid thee a Good Night/Day, happy travels 🫂 and much luck in your endeavors

dont cry m8 😂

[sinful spade]

my css file just hit 850 lines long and my random roll button only works on one dropdown but not the other

i have rightfully earned a few tears.

[bleak wyvern]

fair enough 🫡

[sinful spade]

... i lied

my random button is not working on either dropdown

it was an illusion

[formal goblet]

It doesn't seem to be an issue with CSB from the error message

[heavy elm]

That looks amazing

How to implement Background images like this? CSS?

[sinful spade]

yeah.
bacgrkound-image: url("") !important;
the url can be a directory inside your world folder strarting with ../

Martin 🥲
this code gives no error but doesnt work any ideas?

    'self', 
    first(lookup('attributeTable', 'attributeBase', 'attributeName', 'Physical')),
    (first(lookup('attributeTable', 'attributeBase', 'attributeName', 'Physical')) + ref('ccPhysicalAdd')))}$;}%```

[formal goblet]

Why the script delimiters with %{}% and await?

[sinful spade]

CSB logic wont let me do as complicated as a thing as i need

for some reason any time I try to do multiple thigns within ? : notation, it wont work.

i need to check if all stats are distributed (pointsum=0), then get the correct stat value (lookup...physical), then get the number of points added (or removed from) that stat in the creator (ref('ccPhysicalAdd'), then sum those values and then override the initial value in the dynamic table

[waxen thorn]

maybe switchCase() could be a better fit for multiple choices? just thinking that might be better..

[sinful spade]

im getting a value from a numberfield, adding it to the original value, then overriding the og with the sum.

not sure how switchCase would do that

well, i guess short of
if value in number field = -2 get origional value -2 set value..

[waxen thorn]

hmm.. i would build an item with itemmodifier that uses lookup in keyfield and in valuefield ccPhysicalAdd. then build in a hidden attribute as flag in actor when flag set then add modifier if unset add 0.

[sinful spade]

ok i had to made a display label that referenced the physical value in the table.
%{await ${setPropertyInEntity('self',lookupRef('attributeTable','attributeBase','attributeName','Physical'),ref('ccPhysicalDisplay')+ref('ccPhysicalAdd'))}$;return "";}%

I guess getting a original value then modifying it may have been a recursive error or something.

[sinful spade]

im not sure what you're suggesting haha im pretty novice at javascript. but i got it working so far.
got to ensure that my 'lock' works now so it cant be spam clicked for an anime level training montage

[waxen thorn]

you might want to look into gitlab-readme the part about item and itemmodifiers. i use items in my project to modify basevalues in actor.

[sinful spade]

oh is see what you mean

yeah i use those as well

[sinful spade]

do you happen to know how to get this lock working?
%{if(ref('editStats')==0){return "";}if(ref('ccAddPointsSum')==0){await ${setPropertyInEntity('self','editStats',1)}$;(etc...)}%
if editStat==0 do nothing, doesn't appear to be working as intended

i can pres this button as may times as I want lol

[waxen thorn]

if(${ref('editStats')}$ inside a script you use csb with ${}$ so the value gets resolved. i used that in another script. worked fine.

[sinful spade]

also, Martin, if setPropertyInEntity is used to adjust a number-field, you can set it above the maximum value defined in the field, refreshing the sheet does not adjust back to max.
There needs to potentially be a check maximum values on template reload.

and yes there's more after that and it ends with a }%

[sinful spade]

i've massively simplified the logic to

if(${ref('editStats')}$===1 && ${ref('ccAddPointsSum')}$===0){...} return "";
}%``` but it's not working still 🥲

[waxen thorn]

is editstats a number or booleanfield or is it text?

[sinful spade]

number

just a numberfield that's either 0 or 1. Could do a checkbox to ensure that fact

[waxen thorn]

aah checkboxes are text with true/false..

i had that problem.

[sinful spade]

i meant that I could do that.
it's currently a numberfield

I really want to avoid doing one liner CSB logic or external macros if possible

I may have to just...

${ref('editStats') == 1 ? ref('ccAddPointsSum') == 0 ? setPropertyInEntity('self', 'Phsical', Physical + PhysicalBonus) : '' : ''}$
...```

just like 15 different CSB conditions built per line.

[waxen thorn]

@sinful spade mind if we try step by step?

to get to the error: first i would try to just log the first variable to console and check if i get the right values. e.g.: %{ const checkvalue = ${ref('editStats')}$; console.warn(checkvalue); }%

if im not wrong this could also work: %{ const currentActor = entity; const currentProps = currentActor.system.props; console.warn(currentProps.editStats); }%

[sinful spade]

sorry didnt see your message.
I was knuckle deep in writing this monstrosity:

${ref('editStats') == 1 ? (ref('ccAddPointsSum') == 0 ? setPropertyInEntity('self', 'editStats', 0) : ' ') : ' '}$

${ref('editStats') == 1 ? (ref('ccAddPointsSum') == 0 ? setPropertyInEntity('self', lookupRef('attributeTable', 'attributeBase', 'attributeName', 'Physical'), (ref('ccPhysicalAdd') + ref('ccPhysicalDisplay'))) : ' ') : ' '}$

and add about 4 other stats to that lol

outputs a warning sign and a green 0

chat puts out an undefined error if enabled

ccPhysicalAdd output a green 2, error still in chat

neither had an error in console.

[waxen thorn]

editStats is a hidden Attribute?

[sinful spade]

yeah, just a numberfield that's visibility is set to 0

it has a value of 0, but can be "toggled" to 1 by other buttons

using CSB internal logic it works, though i still have no idea why the if statement didnt work

[waxen thorn]

if you are curious (i surely would be) you might try my answer above and check console for output: %{ const currentActor = entity; const currentProps = currentActor.system.props; console.warn(currentProps.editStats); }%

[sinful spade]

just a warning sign and a green 1.

if i set it to 'off' aka 0
its a warning sign and a green 0

[waxen thorn]

so try adding the other fields to check.

[sinful spade]

they all just output their expected numbers

[waxen thorn]

great. so no problem at this point.

so time to extend on that.

define a const for every value that you need. e.g. const local_editStat = currentProps.editStat; and then try a simple if like if (!local_editStat) {return "editStat not set";};

[sinful spade]

%{const local_editStat = entity.system.props?.editStat; if (!local_editStat) {return "editStat not set";};}% returns nothing at all lol

if i enable it to go to chat it does say editStat not set tho 🤔

[waxen thorn]

o.O unexpected. i tought ! means not? so !local_editStat would return true if editStat would be 0 (zero) ?

[formal goblet]

0 vs '0', one is falsy and the other truthy

[sinful spade]

hey martin

so is that why the lock wasn't working???

also do you know of an easy way to find where an error is coming from 🤣

i just realized on compiling a sheet i get a ton of:
Custom System Builder | Uncomputable token "lookup('attributeTable', 'attributeBase', 'attributeName', 'Mental', '===')" Error: Uncomputable token "lookup('attributeTable', 'attributeBase', 'attributeName', 'Mental', '===')" for example, and that could really be anywhere on my sheet

[formal goblet]

Take a look at scope in the error message and look after undefined values.

[sinful spade]

both levelValue and healingClockInput are defaulted to 0

[formal goblet]

You can expand that as well...

And uncomputedProps is also important, so check that as well

[sinful spade]

scope only appears in the warning though and not the errors?

seems like burrined in the mess there's a
Custom System Builder | Value expected (char 7)
Custom System Builder | Cannot convert "ERROR" to a number Error: Cannot convert "ERROR" to a number

They may be causing the other errors

[ionic wing]

Not sure if it is linked to CSB, but I just updated to 4.3.2 and I get an error when I try to insert an EquipableItem in a compendium . Do someone have experienced something similar.

[formal goblet]

Try again after CTRL + F5

[ionic wing]

Worked, thanks a lot 🙂

[ionic wing]

I saw that when I add an item B in another item A, the item B goes to "CSB - Embedded Items Folder - DO NOT RENAME OR REMOVE"
My question is : what if I add this item A in a compendium, and then use this compendium in another world? Do I need to import the CSB Folder too ?

[waxen thorn]

i tried to write a script that calls a userinputtemplate and returns its values. first screenshot is when i execute it with standard CSB. Second if i call it in script. in script i dont get return values. it says returning undefined..

[sinful spade]

i was running it from a label ( button ) if that matters

[formal goblet]

Item B will be lost when moving Item A to a Compendium. It's currently not supported

[waxen thorn]

Yes. i should have written that. i was running both from a label-button. 🙂

[sinful spade]

im geting errors / undefines from this code.

yet it displays fine?

attributeBase is a numberfield in the dynamic table

[waxen thorn]

Why don’t you use find() instead of first(lookup()) ?

[sinful spade]

because i didnt know that'd work lol

even with that the issue is unresolved

weirdly enough
Custom System Builder | Cannot convert "physicalRef" to a number Error: Cannot convert "physicalRef" to a number

only one of these should be showing at a time.
they have visability formulas of:
ref('physicalRef') == 1 and ref('physicalRef') != 1

[sinful spade]

weirdly enough updating any field manually resolves this - buttons do not count.

[rapid hare]

Hi, wanted to join this report here, I cannot drag items from NPCs to a compendium. I tend to modify weapons/abilities inside a character sheet, then drag it to the compendium after I'm done - but since the latest CSB update, it just doesn't work. Any way around that? Console outputs this error:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: undefined. document.toObject is not a function
[No packages detected]
at ItemDirectory._createDroppedEntry (foundry.js:74055:27)
at ItemDirectory._handleDroppedEntry (foundry.js:73516:28)

[formal goblet]

CTRL + F5

[formal goblet]

Then you set the value to a non-number with your button

[formal goblet]

Give me the output of any row of fromUuidSync('uuid').system.props.attributeTable in the console

[rapid hare]

No change, the same thing happens

[formal goblet]

@brittle moth probably a case we didn't consider. And I think the same happens when dragging from a sheet to a game directory.

Question, is it possible to make a blank Actor sheet, then you can attach an Item sheet that has data to fill it with?

[sinful spade]

I meant not truly blank but with 'undefined' values. Yes.

[formal goblet]

Seems fine. I need the full error message with uncomputedProps

[twin goblet]

Hello Martin,
Thanks for your help last time - it works great 💯

but today I have a dynamic table...
one of the elements of the table is a radio button, by selecting which row (KE column) the data is needed.
But
the radio button takes the specified value (1) in every row in the dynamic table - therefore the lookup returns every row. 🤔

How can I set the radio button so that it takes the specified value only in the actually selected row in the dynamic table?
Or
any tips, how could I solve this differently?

This would be the combat value of one of the weapons used, which the player can swap at will. But the values ​​change depending on what weapon he is using - and the combat value is made up of the character's attributes, skills, weapons and other modifiers. The initiative roll
, which is rolled every round in this system, changes. That's why the radio button seemed like a good idea - because the player can only choose one weapon.

[formal goblet]

Use a Dropdown instead of Radio Buttons. These don't work well with Dynamic Tables

[formal goblet]

Can't spot anything there. Any other relevant errors?

[sinful spade]

not really honestly, there's just a ton of repeats and i dont see where they're coming from.
the few that had locations / objects with the formula where i could find what it was talking about all seemeed to reference my stat references such as physicalRef (to get info out of dynamic table easier since it's called so often) yet there doesnt seem to be any issue with the code.

[sinful spade]

this code

[thorny ledge]

How may I get the value from a text field maked in a sheet in CSB module and use this value to execute a Macro?
Example: %{return await game.macros.getName(toString(MacroName)).execute()}%

[marble beacon]

I have done a Chinese translation for the system, where should I put it?

[thorny ledge]

I have another question: %{return entity.system.props.Health}% Will return the value of Health in the triggering entity, but if the component Health it's included in a Dynamic Table? How can I get it?

[thorny ledge]

It is possible combine scripts %{}% with ${}$?

[sinful spade]

Hell yeah dude. Maybe the gitlab so it doesn't get buried

[sinful spade]

I've done buttons css coded to be the full size of the container, and a duplicated container containing the text positioned behind it.

[sinful spade]

Yes you can nest %{ in ${ or vice versa

[sinful spade]

not sure the structure of your system, but once you have your actor selected somehow

//get table
const myTable = actor.system.props?.tableName;
//get row
const thisRow = Object.values(table).find(row => row columnToFilterBy === "valueToFilterBy");
//get cell in row
const entityHealth = thisRow.componentKeyOfColumn;```
so

//get the player stats table
const myTable = actor.system.props?.playerStats;
//get the row containing the stat name Health
const thisRow = Object.values(myTable).find(row => row.statName === "Health");
//get the cell in the currentValue column of the Health row
const entityHealth = thisRow.currentValue;

[modern hemlock]

Can I somehow move the actor from a scene to the sidebar? (I copied+edited an actor and want to include that copy as a new actor in the panel on the right - what is the panel called btw?)

[waxen thorn]

My dear Ms Everdeen. The actor in the Scene is not an Actor anymore. It is an Icon with a linked Actor. So as far as i know you can't copy the Icon back to the Actors-Folder. But what you can do. You can right-click the Actor in the Actors-Folder and duplicate it. It should contain the edited information. With Kind regards. 😉

[sinful spade]

@waxen thorn is absolutely correct, updates to a charactersheet accessed through a token updates the actual character sheet.
If however, you mean that you've updated a token and you have two tokens that are different, those are absolutely unique and if you want to keep the second token - you can duplacte the origional actor as lewell advised and then click prototype token, click the new token, and assign token. This way you have two of the same actor with the two unique tokens.

[modern hemlock]

I have an unlinked actor assigned to the token and I want to create a sidebar actor from it.
Sorry I don't know the proper terminology to use
The 'represented actor' is not the actor attached to this token, the token has a duplicate actor that has been edited and doesn't exist anywhere other than when you doubleclick on the token

[sinful spade]

I see, and if you relink it... it'll update to the sheet rather than the token. Interesting.

One minute

yeah short of someone who's better at javascript than me making a macro that gets the infromation the actor is referncing and imports that over the existing template that NPC Na Szybko uses - your best bet is to duplicate NPC Na Szybko, manually make the same changes you did to the token using the token as a reference.

[modern hemlock]

Well I could make that macro, I was just hoping there was a way to do it built into Foundry

[waxen thorn]

@sinful spade I've got a problem with item-modifiers not updating keys in actor. i got actor a item b and item c. item c is linked to item b which itself is linked to actor a. itemmodfiers that should update keys in actor a dont get apllied even if i target fetchFromParent ({top: true}). any idea on that matter?

[sinful spade]

I'm gonna be so real with you haha you seem like you have more of a grasp on this software, or at least computer science than I do 🤣
If you want advice on how to make shit look pretty then I'm your guy!

But as far as I know CSB doesn't link items through eachother to an actor, but I cant even say that confidently.
Have you tried updating item b using item c?

but honestly, i'm a bit worried about your workflow there - what's the usecase?

[waxen thorn]

the use case would be a piece of armor that applies armorvalue to actor. and then it can have different properties (each property itself an item) e.g. Enhanced Hearing +10 so the property when dragged into the piece of armor should add +10 to hearing of actor.

[sinful spade]

Interesting.
Why not just apply the enchanced hearing modifier straight onto the armor in that case?

[waxen thorn]

i would have to build alot of item/property-combinations.. and im lazy so i prefer a modular system

[sinful spade]

I felt that in my soul

i know martin mentioned it would be very taxing on the system to do it this way (because i was trying to this earlier)

But i had a template with all the modifiers i was likely to use in that category already made and set to 0, that way when the item was created I could just change the values.

[waxen thorn]

and my idea is even further down.. some properties can only applied once even if multiple items would grant them. if each püroperty is in itself an item i could check that and rule out duplicate or multiple bonus.

[sinful spade]

🤔
i think to minimize resources and maximize usability

i'd personally create an template for those modifiers individually, as well as a item container for those items and just set it to GM only view.

Especially given in the new versions of CSB you can create items that house other items (still havent updated to know how it works for sure) but effectively use the armor to give the player those other items directly like a trojen horse lol

[waxen thorn]

exactly that! that would be my goal. items applying other items. 🙂

[sinful spade]

ok so not that you want item c to influence b to influence a

you want item b to give a player item c

[waxen thorn]

exactly.

so to say a passthrough. if you wear a helm of hearing it is a helm-template with template enhanced hearing applied to it. advanced hearing affects actor and not the helm itself.

[sinful spade]

effectively we're gonna need to find out if "items in their container can impact the actor" 🤔
that or, you're back to giving every item template (e.g. armor, weapon, etc) 1,000 "blank" modifiers that the items can influence and pass onto the actor through item b.

[waxen thorn]

or i would have to manually drag those modifier-items on the actor as gm.. but as i said earlier.. im lazy i dont like that.

@sinful spade oh. @formal goblet helped me to write the script i needed to conditionally open a userinputtemplate and get the values back to work with them. would that be intessting for your project?

[sinful spade]

I actually have a similar usecase for the current system i'm working on.

Professions come with a bunch of bonsues and a lot of times they overlap. rather than creating "+1 strength" as a modifier for each profession, having the professions act as a backpack of bonuses would be nice.

Let me look into that for a second, I havent gotten that far yet but I'll need to figure it out eventually so imma dig for a sec

[sinful spade]

im confused what you mean 🤣

what user input template, and work with what values how

[waxen thorn]

in my actortemplate there is a dynamictable containing basic skills every playercharacter has. the table can be edited by players to add custom skills that must be learned. i included a dice-script-label so the players can roll for skilltest from the dynamic table. but some skills like Awareness need more specific details in this case the sense you are using eg hearing, sight etc. so i made a template for awareness that only gets called if the skill is awareness.

this template has localvariables that i can evaluate to pick the right sense for awareness from hidden attributes and roll this hidden attributes instead of plain awareness-skill.

you are blind.. no sight-sense my friend. you got item with enhanced hearing.. your awareness for hearing is +10.

[sinful spade]

Oh i see that's nifty,
I sorted that problem a while back by having "abilites / skills" reference "attributes / stats"
So like in 5e having a high dex score makes you better at stealth, but you can increase specifically stealth with proficency, or expertise.

i just made a second dynamic table that links to the first and called it a day 🤣

so in your example,
i'd just have a Perception (Hearing) skill that's based on the Awareness attribute

[waxen thorn]

awarenesskill is based on perception in deathwatch-ttrpg. and i needed to roll on specialised awareness-sense and didnt want to add 5-times awareness to skilltable..

I hear you haha, and while it would be cool to go a level deeper- at some point it'd bog my players down in mechancis they'd need to learn. Two levels is plenty, especially given i can specialize further just by naming it.

E.g. a player may have 3d6 awareness, and +1 with Perception (Sensory), then if i wanted them to hear really well but be poor-sighted it'd be Sensory (Hearing) +2 and Sensory (Seeing) -2

[waxen thorn]

okay. that sounds interesting. any chance i could get a peek at your csb-template-code?

[sinful spade]

I mean it's an entire homebrew system
is there a specific thing you're interested in?

for example, currently I am working on a minigame in character creation that determines character background.
@waxen thorn

very bare bones since i just started on it yesterday but we're getting there lol

the fundamentals are in place.

hello, I would like to replace the icons of EFFECT.Status. In which file can I find which icon is used for an EFFECT.Status?
edit: I found the Condition Lab module 🙂

[sinful spade]

😩 finally done with the visuals.
next up... items, buttons, and general function.

Hello

is there any prefix, similar to item. I can use for Dynamic tables? Specifically I want the label project_cost to be the formula for (project_scope + project_misc) * project_resistance for each item in the list

[manic crypt]

No, but you can use the samerow reference.

[void locust]

How would I do that?

just samerowref(('project_scope' + 'project_misc') * 'project_resistance') ?

[manic crypt]

Sec, I was on my mobile, let me find the reference.

I think that wouldn't work as well. More like ((sameRow('project_scope', 0) + sameRow('project_misc', 0) * sameRow('project_resistance', 1))

and maybe include fallbacks.

[void locust]

Gotcha, thank you

Current formula that worked for posterity

${
(sameRow('project_scope', 1) + sameRow('project_misc', 0)) * sameRow('project_resistance', 1)
}$

can actor sheets retrieve data from an item in an item that is on the actor? Something like this: find('item.ammoDisplayer','dmgTotal','equippedCheck','true','==')

[manic crypt]

There's two ways to do it. One is to pull the data into an item displayer that filters to show the item, then you can do the above, or you can find the uuid from the item in a displayer, then use that for a fetchFromUuid() command.

[sinful spade]

yeah it can.
i havent done much with that functionality yet, but here's the code i used to check if the player already had a race and classification during character creation (to prevent adding multiple if you need to go back for some reason).

const actor = game.actors.get(entity._id);
if (!actor) {
  ui.notifications.error("Could not find the current Actor!");
  return;
}

const classificationUuid = "Item.HDfSD8Jc6R6uaOeO"; // Humanoid
const speciesUuid        = "Item.kpwc8ShKA5Yzu7p3"; // Human

const classificationItem = await fromUuid(classificationUuid);
const speciesItem        = await fromUuid(speciesUuid);

if (!classificationItem && !speciesItem) {
  ui.notifications.error("Could not find Humanoid or Human items by their UUIDs.");
  return;
}

I would like to grasp how exactly you build the specialisation of skills with a second dyntable. it might solve some problems i might get into in the future.

[sinful spade]

oh i see.

i made a second dt, and referenced values from the first.
I used a dropdown that got its values from the first dt, then did a samerow to lookup that name within a lookup function to get the values i wanted.

That way you select the base stat, and the other rows reference the values from that row on the parent table before modifying them to match the subskill's changes.

[waxen thorn]

thank you. now i got a new tool in my toolbox how to solve problems like that. cool!

[brave trench]

This uuid stuff is new with the recent update and I don't understand it. Where/why is it needed specifically?

[manic crypt]

You can use it to directly reference an item.key without having to pull the information out into a keyed entry in an item displayer. As a case use, I have a sheet with an item displayer that only ever displays one item. I want it to have the description of the item in a verbose format below the item container on the sheet, so I used this:

${fetchFromUuid(find('Ability1','uuid'),'AbDesc',"None")}$

Which resolves to:
