[formal goblet]

Check the error in the console with F12

[deft sluice]

Console is empty :/

I tried to put recalculate formula at some place but it didn't do anything

[deft sluice]

if I get the value by ${first(lookup('Skills', 'Total', 'Name', 'Athlétisme'))}$ it's working (all columns in text)

maybe the list Skills_Selection is in cause ?

[manic crypt]

It could be. Did you populate from a custom list or the DT setting?

[deft sluice]

What do you mean by DT settings ? 😅
I've make my own skills name yeah

[manic crypt]

You could also try ref(Competence)

[manic crypt]

You can populate the dropdown with a list based on a selected column of a dynamic table

[deft sluice]

oh DT dynamic table, get it

Yeah my Skills_selection was list based on the DT

[manic crypt]

Ok. Try the ref() in the filter value?

[deft sluice]

in the lookup function ?

[manic crypt]

Yes

[deft sluice]

erf, not showing anymore

ref what, name of the DT ? or a skills in particular ?

maybe we could PM, for not messing the channel

[manic crypt]

Sure, if you like.

[rigid shoal]

Hello everyone!, I was wondering if someone could help me everytime I try to create a new item or feature for a character it keeps spamming me with this, any help would be amazing :3

I scrapped an item concept and the template for it and deleted both but thats when this kept popping up

[manic crypt]

The game is refreshing the canvas and trying to reload an item that's set to use a template you deleted. You probably still have a copy of the item on a test character.

[rigid shoal]

I've only got one test character and its not on there what I can see, so I don't know

[manic crypt]

It's kind of a problem, because you deleted the template, so the item won't show up on any of the character's item displayers, since they only show selected templates (which you can't select because you deleted ...)

[rigid shoal]

so should I just purge the test sheet?

[manic crypt]

The simple way is to create a new template using the same name of the old template.

or you could just delete the character, yeah.

[rigid shoal]

damn it was that simple thank you so much

[manic crypt]

No problem 🙂

[formal goblet]

The Item Displayer displays all Items if no filters are selected

[manic crypt]

So it was purely because it was trying to use a null template that it wasn't showing up?

[formal goblet]

No, Item Displayers which have selected Templates, will only display those. The rest will be filtered out. If no Template is selected, it will display all Items the Actor owns.

[manic crypt]

I meant in Adora's case above. They'd deleted the template, and it wasn't showing on the character sheet, but it was still trying to render it, hence throwing all the warnings.

[formal goblet]

An Item has always a reference to a Template. Once you delete the Template, the Item becomes orphaned and will cause the warnings on every update.

[manic crypt]

Got it. I was just trying to make sure I had the terminology right for if it comes up again. Thanks.

[fresh arrow]

@formal goblet btw is there a way to block templates from accidential delete?
that could cause heavy problems and can already destroy whole system in worst case 🤔

[manic crypt]

The best way would be to export them to a compendium and be able to re-import them if you accidentally do, then prevent players from deleting actors in permissions.

[formal goblet]

Once the Templates are done, you can just export them to Compendiums or even files.

A backup of the world also helps

Otherwise there's no regular way for a GM to block deletions of Documents

[grand obsidian]

Hello, I'm still improving my Supers RED CSB and I would like how to make a total. Here is my use case. I would like automatication of a chacacter values in Creation Dices. For instance, The Resistance value begins at 1D free and each subsequent Dice is 1 creation dice. So my formula is :
${(COMPOSURE_MAX+FORTITUDE_MAX+REACTION_MAX+WILL_MAX)-4}$ but it displays nothing on my NPC

Here is the NPC I use as a test

I wonder if my formulae is wrong

I also tried ${COMPOSURE_MAX+FORTITUDE_MAX+REACTION_MAX+WILL_MAX-4}$

I have an idea, let me check 🙂

Tried this

${=(COMPOSURE_MAX+FORTITUDE_MAX+REACTION_MAX+WILL_MAX)-4}$

[manic crypt]

You're trying to sum the values in the Resistances into the Resistances at the bottom?

[manic crypt]

Could you send a screenshot of the configuration screen for both the COMPOSURE_MAX and the component where your formula isn't working?

[manic crypt]

@formal goblet I was just poking at things and noticed that math.js has a forEach() function; can you use the callback with CSB functions, or is it limited to math.js functions? I'll experiment with it, but I was wondering if you had any insights with it.

[grand obsidian]

I'm trying to sum all the Resistance score minus 4 🙂

[manic crypt]

Could I see the destination configuration as well?

[formal goblet]

CSB-functions are imported into mathjs, so you can use them. I didn't manage to get it working with loops though, but that doesn't matter anymore anyway with scripts.

[formal goblet]

Check console with F12

[manic crypt]

Yeah, fair enough. I was just doing some stuff with the math.js reference and thought it looked interesting.

[spark lotus]

Hi! Does the fetchFromActor function work if the key is a label with a formula? I originally had a number key (char_ac) where a number value for armor class was entered by the player. I changed the key to a label with a formula where char_ac is calculated as a base value of 9 plus player entered temporary bonus & penalty. The fetchFromActor function worked perfectly with the number key but only return the default value of '0' when I use the label key with the formula. Am I using the wrong function? Any advice is greatly appreciated. here is the snippet of formula that is trying to fetch the Ac value from the selected token: ${char_ac:= fetchFromActor('selected',"char_ac", 0)}$

Here is the char_ac formula.

[manic crypt]

Is it fetching the ac of the character it's coming from, or like the ac of a target in combat or something?

[spark lotus]

It's supposed to fetch the AC of the selected token (like a targeted enemy). I'm probably going to change it from selected to targeted.

I switched from having the player enter a number for their AC to using the formula so i could create drag and drop equipment that would automatically update the player's Ac without them needing to make any adjustments.

here is what the chat output looks like

The lackey has an AC of 9 per the formula but the default value of zero is being outputted.

[manic crypt]

The only thing i can see that I would have done differently on that line (ther than using target, like you said) is that I would have used ' ' instead of " ". Not sure why it's not pulling when it's working fine with the name.

[spark lotus]

I'm not sure I understand how/where I would use "instead of". is that a type of operator?

[manic crypt]

You have fetchFromActor('selected',"char_ac",...)

I would have used 'char_ac' instead.

But sometimes you can use " instead of ' without issue, and I'm still sorting out where those places are.

[spark lotus]

Oh! Thanks. I'll try that.

I'm stumped. I changed it from selected token to target token and it still returns the default value of zero instead of the calculated AC from the formula.

[manic crypt]

So.. this may seem weird, but have you deleted all the tokens from the canvas and replaced them with the updated formulae from the sidebar? I've had plenty of times where I was using a token with a way outdated actor file.

[spark lotus]

Good suggestion. I just tried and no change though.

It has to be something simple that I'm missing. Everything works but the fetching of the AC.

[spark lotus]

i figured it out. I had an unused variable/key in the formula. Once I removed it, everything worked fine.

[manic crypt]

Nice

[austere lava]

Is there a way to have items placed in an Item Displayer to not create a copy within the CSB Embedded Items Folder but instead link directly back to the original?

[normal jolt]

Is it possible - through script or macro - to add an item automatically to an inventory, without needing to drag it in the player's sheet?

Essentially, what I'm looking to do is to create an item with a modifier on it, and to be able to add it to all the players at once, to be able to set 'global modifiers' for an area.

[brisk galleon]

Hi! I'm Calesella Marco from Winged Lion Games, a small Italian team of ttrpg authors. First of all, congratulations on your fantastic project, it's really well structured and incredibly convenient for transposing game systems for those who are not familiar with programming. I'm contacting you because I created with your addon a transposition of our latest game in development, Purple Reaping, a Sword&Sorcery Horror ttrpg inspired by Conan the Barbarian with a narrative game system whose Kickstarter will start in July (here a link if you want to know more about the project https://bit.ly/43AQEST) . I would like to kindly ask you if it is possible to include the exported file together with the ones you made available in the template link on your project page. If you need anything in particular, there is something to correct or for anything else, please contact me at my email [e-mail] . Thanks for everything!

[manic crypt]

Martin has a macro that lets you update values on selected tokens, a little script work would allow that to create a popup and allow you to fill in the values if you want it to be more flexible.

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Tips-&-Tricks/Macro-for-updating-values

[grand obsidian]

The pic you sent before was one of the ones being added, can you show me the same pic but of the component where it's going?

[grand obsidian]

I will put it in english if you prefer

[manic crypt]

The reason it's not totaling is because you're just changing the minimum value, not setting it. If you change the component type to label and put the formula into the label field, it should work.

[grand obsidian]

I will try that thanks 🙂

[formal goblet]

Remove =

[grand obsidian]

The issue with the label component is that it display the word "resistances" and not the value. Ideally I should have a label and a value

Oh I know 🙂

Well no it was not that ^^

[formal goblet]

What is the new error message?

I am watching an (old) CSB tutorial to better understand it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGVOj_iqiKg

(the version is older but that's just for me to understand the logic)

[formal goblet]

Take a look at the end of the formula. Your closing delimiter is wrong. Should be }$ instead

And you have 1 opening vs. 2 closing parens ()

[grand obsidian]

I see

[grand obsidian]

Seems to work 🙂

(I also redesigned the character sheet a bit)

[deep lichen]

I'm just starting to get into CSB and I'm not understanding how roll formulas apply to labels. I'm probably missing something basic.
On the left is a label with a roll message on click that runs the 'setPropertyInEntity' formula to modify the label value on the right. It correctly spits out the result of the formula in chat, but it doesn't actually modify the value itself. Other values on the sheet seem to also correctly adjust according to the values already listed on the sheet. But there isn't any way to modify the value of the label directly from what I can tell aside from item modifiers. I know number fields and text fields exist, but they seem to be more limited with what you can do with them in terms of formulas, such as item modifiers not working with them.
Again, I think I'm just missing something simple, that, or I'm approaching what I'm doing the wrong way. Any pointers?

[formal goblet]

Computable Components (Labels, Meters):

• Allow Formulas
• Values cannot be manually changed
• Can be modified by Item Modifiers

Non-computable Components (Input Field Components):

• Don't allow Formulas
• Values can be manually changed
• Cannot be modified by Item Modifiers

[deep lichen]

Sounds redundant, but by manually changed, does that include through formulas? Thats the main issue I seem to be having. Any formulas I set in a label seem to refuse actually changing the actual value of the label. The value it returns in chat is correct, but it doesn't actually change the label value.

[formal goblet]

Formulas are calculated automatically. The usage of setPropertyInEntity() on the other hand is equivalent to a manual change.

[deep lichen]

Ah, that'd explain it then. Is there another function I should use instead or a better way to approach modifying label values?

[formal goblet]

Item Modifier, Active Effect or a Formula within the Label itself. There are no other ways.

[deep lichen]

Lets say that I had a stat value such as Strength, and I wanted to have it be easily edited manually on the sheet, but I also wanted to have it be edited by modifiers. Would there be a way to approach that, or would I be better off just going with one or the other?

[formal goblet]

You need 2 Components. A Component cannot be modifyable and editable at the same time by design.

[deep lichen]

Gotcha. I'll have to figure out a new layout then. Thanks for the help. :)

[elfin lark]

Could someone give me a hint of whats wrong here?

${roll > [:Skill_Aim:]? 'Failure' : 'Success'}$

${roll >= fetchFromActor('selected','Exploit', 20)? 'Exploited' : 'No Complications'}$```

Basically enemy has a numberfield with the component key Exploit. When a player targets the enemy and rolls, it should check if the roll is equal or greter than its exploit. Problem is right now its always defualting to the 20

(tryna use this for the first time, so still lernin)

[formal goblet]

Are we talking about selected or targeted?

[elfin lark]

targeted. (im basing my code off some other peoples messages here so that was a slip up.)
however changing the 'selected' to 'targeted' does not fix the issue, its still defaulting to 20

[formal goblet]

Because targeted doesn't exist. It's called target

[elfin lark]

ah well there we go

thanks

sorry for dum questions, still getting a hang of this

[faint beacon]

Is there a way to only have item modifiers applied from equipped gear?

[formal goblet]

Modifier formula: ${equipped ? 1 : 0}$

[shy stag]

trying to use this to check if a checkbox is checked, and if so, multiply a stat by 1.5, wasnt working so i used a label to test it but the value isnt changing when the box gets checked: ${ checkboxTransform ? '1.5' : '1' }$. even tried reloading the sheet and it still didnt change

[formal goblet]

Check with fromUuidSync('uuid').system.props in the console

[shy stag]

?

[formal goblet]

You must enter the actual UUID in there

[shy stag]

same error basically

[formal goblet]

Then you haven't use a valid UUID

[shy stag]

what am i supposed to use? the component key of the checkbox?

[formal goblet]

No, the UUID of the whole Document. You can retrieve that from the header of the sheet

[shy stag]

?

[formal goblet]

Huh? Try it again and leave out .props

[shy stag]

found the checkbox, it seems to be fine as far as i can tell, dont know why it isnt being noticed when its checked

[formal goblet]

The key of this Checkbox is Transform though, not checkboxTransform

[shy stag]

yeah it works now, sorry, the github page led me to believe i needed the checkbox there

[formal goblet]

No, keys must match exactly in all cases

[halcyon inlet]

Is there a way to change a label's visibility/CSS class depending on if a number is above 0?
I'd like to make the AVAST! text look normal until the count is above 1 to signal to my players that there is a resource available that they can (and should) use.
They are utterly blind, nothing short of animated neon clown-vomit will make them remember that they can use this thing and even then i'm thinking about implementing airhorns just to make sure.

[fresh arrow]

@formal goblet I'm not sure if that was recently touched, if so please let me know and I will do better search 😉 but do we have possibility to set template in Roll Message to which we will pass some specific information?
LIke I have chat msg for test done for skills, attributes, attach, damage, etc... but most of those msgs are same and in case of change right now (with my approach) its necessary to change every single roll msg instaed of jsut one part of common template..

[formal goblet]

Are you looking for a more generic approach regarding Label Roll Messages? If so, try this one out here: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Tips-&-Tricks/Handling-Dice-Pools

Or you use a Macro, which will be called from your Label Roll Messages.

[fresh arrow]

but macro will be encapsulated from data normally available in Roll Message formulas or they could be used?

[formal goblet]

You can pass whatever data you like to a Macro

[fresh arrow]

😈

[formal goblet]

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

[fresh arrow]

give me a try 🙂

[fresh arrow]

Ok, that will be an answer for more Object oriented approach 🙂
Thank you 😄
Only a question... why MSG which use Macro callout is one colour and one made in formula has different colour? 🤔

[formal goblet]

Different roll modes (public, private, gm-only) have different colours.

[fresh arrow]

but... what is correct way then to pass information about "item" at "item displayer" from which "roll msg" macro was called? 🤔
eaither I have item is not defiend when "... item: item, ..." or unexpected identifier 'Object' when "...item: ${item}$, ..." 😦

[formal goblet]

See here: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Guides/Formula-System#332-entity--linkedentity

[fresh arrow]

ok... I'm sorry that I didn't read that with understanding... thank you

[silver lake]

please, does anyone know how to hide this from chat?:
%{${item.Sound}$}%

And yes, I have tried %{${#item.Sound}$}%

I just want it not to appear in the chat message

[formal goblet]

${#%{${!item.Sound}$}%}$

[halcyon inlet]

Is there a way to copy and paste things like lables and such in the character sheet?
i feel like i'm being a massive dumbo by making a copy of the character sheet and dragging over things i want to copy :p

[formal goblet]

CTRL + Drag

[halcyon inlet]

I HAVE BEEN A FOOL FOR SO LONG!
Thank you!

[fresh arrow]

can we already call for macro via macro.execute() within Roll Label without trigering "roll sound" and "sending msg to chat" ? 🤔
or maybe someone has already good experiance and example with templates with chat message results to be called from Label Roll Message via Macro to avoid changes in too many places in case of change of result view?

[formal goblet]

You can disable Chat Message creation in the Component config of the Label

[fresh arrow]

of course 😄

[fresh arrow]

by doing that through macro I have my dice so nice rolling dices back !

or not 😦
when 2 rolls are triggered then dices are not rolled 😭

[halcyon inlet]

How do i make equippable items work? i'm looking at the custom system builder documentation but i can't drag equippable items on to character sheets to make them appear.

[fresh arrow]

you have to have:
container (item displayer)
item
you have to define:
your item displayer have to have set Filter Items to item template you want to add/see
then drag item on char sheet

[halcyon inlet]

Right! that makes sense. thanks!

[halcyon inlet]

So, when i try to apply the modifier to the sheet it becomes NaN. The default is 0 so when i untick the conditional modifier selector it returns to 0.
I'm assuming my formulation is wrong but i'm not entirely sure in which way.

[formal goblet]

Well, item_weight is not a number, just a random text 😅

[halcyon inlet]

OH I FORGOT THE [${$ thing!
I swear, this dosen't usually happen (it happens a lot)

The worst thing about computers and code is that it does exactly what i tell it to do, and i'm the last person i would listen to for suggestions of how to do things. :p
But it works! (even if i thought that inventory_weight had to have the curly-bois around it too but this is a learning experience)
Thanks!

[short phoenix]

Is there a FAQ or something I can look things up on? I am just moving to CSB after a Sandbox catastrophe destroyed all of my data... Everything looks like it is similar, but improved here. Maybe not quite as simple, but better... There is 1 thing I haven't figured out how to do yet though, which is kind of essential to my goal...

I am making a system similar to World of Darkness in that it has visual representation of scores in the form of "dots"... That was the radio button function with a max higher than one in Sandbox, but that doesn't seem to be the case on CSB...

[fading turret]

Hello there!
I’ve been trying to use the Show Drag Distance Module with the system that I am currently working on. The problem is that I have little to no idea how to relate the movement capacity of my system with the data that the module uses to determine the base speed movement of the actor.
I would really appreciate it if anyone can help me out!
Thanks in advance!

[short phoenix]

Looking at some walk throughs, some of them say there should be a button to launch some type of UI inside of foundry for CSB... Is this accurate? I have options to create actors/templates from the create actors button, and the Equippable Item, Equippable Item Template, Subtemplate, User Input Template options in the create items button... foundry says I am using 4.4.2... Is something corrupt?

[formal goblet]

I only know the Dragruler module, so I can't help without you providing more details (e.g. what configuration the module expects)

[formal goblet]

The entity types are correct. What are you looking for exactly? I don't know which kind of UI you mean

[fading turret]

I'll try to use that one and see if a can work something out. Thanks!

[short phoenix]

I suspect I was looking at a bad walkthrough.

[short phoenix]

As stated above (#1037072885044477962 message) I am trying to figure out how to make World of Darkness style Attributes and Abilities.

[formal goblet]

Ah, well there's no Component as such in CSB. You'd have to create your own solution for that (e.g. your own Component).

Normal Radio Buttons behave in a different way. They only allow you to select 0-1 options of all options in a group.

[fading turret]

I've been trying to figure it out with the Dragruler but I can't make it work

[formal goblet]

The path is actor.system.props.key

[short phoenix]

While it surprises me no one has done this already, I certainly accept this answer. The way radio buttons worked in Sandbox confused me to no end as well. Anywhere to find an example of how to do so? I am a novice at javascript at best.

[formal goblet]

This here: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Create-Components/Create-a-Custom-Input-Component

@formal goblet as mentioned there is a way to pass item as en object for further fetching, but is there some better way to pass dynamic table information than pushing every column through parameters?
in case when script was initiated from dynamic table label

[formal goblet]

Check options.reference and the content of the Dynamic Table

[fresh arrow]

what do you mean by 'options.reference'? I tried to identify such tandem but so far nowhere console, actor, dynamic table as CSB comoponent options nor through console... 😦

[formal goblet]

options is a global variable, which is part of every script %{}%

[fresh arrow]

${#%{return await game.macros.getName("RollChatMsg").execute({type: 'skillCheck', entity: entity.entity, options: options});}%}$
gave me an error inside macro:

const props = entity.system.props;
const options = options;
console.log(props);
console.log(options);
Generate an console error:
Uncaught (in promise) ReferenceError: undefined. Cannot access 'options' before initialization
[Detected 1 package: system:custom-system-builder(4.4.2)]

[formal goblet]

Remove this here: const options = options;

[fresh arrow]

for itemContainers and linkedEntity it work (with changes) like a charm as per your guide...

when I remove options from script I can see reference "dt_A.0"

[formal goblet]

With this, you can use foundry.utils.getProperty(props, options.reference) and it should retrieve the data of the whole row

[fresh arrow]

but same script was used for dynamic table and item displayer... for linkedEntity it is possible to assign even if its empty via

const item = (linkedEntity && linkedEntity.system && linkedEntity.system.props) || {};
but when same approach I set to options it raised an error... or... let me check one more thing

[formal goblet]

Can be shortened to const item = linkedEntity?.system.props ?? {};

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

[fresh arrow]

when I run macro from itemDisplayer it raised error due to missing options

I saw that shorter one also, but it cause an error

ok got it 😄

[fresh arrow]

Ok... not it works as should for Skills (dynamic table) and Weapons (item in item displayer)... and most important Dices are back 😄
thank you very much Martin for your help and patience 🙂

[silver lake]

Thank you!

[stone oak]

Hello I'm using the CSS for really basic stuff and have only basic technical knowledge with computers and code, I've looked through the documentation and I can't seem to find a way to make an if statement.
From what I understand putting a condition in a formula only works for boolean, so the number you input is either considered false if it's 0 or true if it's anything else, how do I do something that would work like "If [Thing you want to read] is equal or higher than X then [Return]" ?

sorry if this has already been answered a thousand times

[formal goblet]

Take a look at comparison operators: https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_comparisons.asp

[stone oak]

that's very handy, but I just don't know how to code something from scratch, I've only gotten so far by finding example code, dissecting it and modifying the right pieces to have it do what I want

I only learned right now that CSS works with javascript

[formal goblet]

a >= b ? y : z

If a greater equals b, then y, else z

[formal goblet]

HTML, CSS and JS are the 3 pillars of web development

[stone oak]

I think I get it, thank you

[dense pine]

Question about roll modes: When doing private Rolls, other players and GM see this in the Chat Messages:

Any way to get rid of all these lines with question marks?

[velvet heron]

If I am using a custom macro for dice rolls, how is it possible to include a reference to a componentKey within the macro?

For instance, toward the bottom after the text "makes an attack" I'd like to make it "makes an attack, dealing componentKey text damage."

Do you need to see the macro text?

[timid marten]

Do you guys think it would be possible to play a sound for each player when they move items from their inventory?

I tried with this module but it struggles a lot to find the player ID and completely breaks with Item Piles

[formal goblet]

You need the context of the entity you want to target. Based on that, the path is entity.system.props.componentKey

[formal goblet]

Macro-polo is a better place to ask, because the functionality you're asking for is not system-dependant or related to CSB

[sharp grotto]

Would it be posible to post an item to the chat by creating a buton at the item with a string of code that takes the UUID from the item an instert into chat in the right formular ?

[manic crypt]

Are you talking about a clickable link to the item or something? Like the rich-text-area links from journals?

[fresh arrow]

I think I saw in some systems that on chat msg have possibility to click and then it will popup you journal, item or even continue roll base on original poster attrs... so somehow its possible, but its more like foundry feature not CSB i guess 🤔

[austere lava]

Is there a way to have items placed in an Item Displayer to not create a separate copies within the CSB Embedded Items Folder but instead link directly back to the original?

[formal goblet]

No. Ne default behavior is to always create a copy for embedded documents

[austere lava]

Ah, Fair. Thanks for letting me know.

[sharp grotto]

More so that a player could post the item to chat, since they can’t drag and drop it to the chat.

[dense pine]

Can anyone help me out please?

[austere lava]

Get Hide GM Rolls.
Its a module that does it for you.

Hi there. I have a question. If I use setPropertyInEntity() and setValues() in same code, some things updates only after I update them.
Code:

${#hasammo:= item.wpnHasAmmo}$
${#ammoval:= item.wpnAmmoCount}$
${#ammomax:= item.wpnMagazine}$
${#ammoitem:= item.wpnAmmoItem}$

${reload:= fallback(fetchFromUuid(ammoitem, 'ammoQuantity'), 0)}$

${ammorel:= reload <= 0 ? '0' : (ammomax - ammoval) > reload ? reload : ammomax - ammoval}$

${setPropertyInEntity('item', 'wpnAmmoCount', "hasammo ? ammoval + ammorel : '0'")}$

${setValues(ammoitem, 'ammoQuantity', "target.ammoQuantity - ammorel")}$

after click on button with this code, updates wpnAmmoCount in item, but dont ammoQuantity in ammoitem, after that if I open and close ammoitem sheet ammoQuantity updates

[manic crypt]

Are there errors, even warnings like uncomputed props? Is the ammoitem an item-in-item? I don't know the answer offhand, I would need to model it to see the behavior.

[limpid gull]

no errors or warnings.
ammoitem is dropdown in item with key-options ${fetchFromParent("lookup('itemsGear','uuid','gearType','Ammo','~')")}$, and label-options ${fetchFromParent("lookup('itemsGear','name','gearType','Ammo','~')")}$

[limpid gull]

gif for understanding

[manic crypt]

I think that it's not updating the new dropdown values until you render the item again, thus reloading the item and updating the prop.

[limpid gull]

but im not trying update dropdown values

[manic crypt]

It might be a use-case for the recalculate() function?

[limpid gull]

${setValues(ammoitem, 'ammoQuantity', "recalculate(reload - ammorel)")}$ nothings change

[manic crypt]

I meant recalculate the ammoQuantity field as a separate line-item in the roll.

it doesn't seem to be that the value isn't being updated, just the field on the sheet.

Because as soon as you open the item, it's already correct in the number field.

[limpid gull]

yeah, maybe, but..

if we swap ${setPropertyInEntity('item', 'wpnAmmoCount', "hasammo ? ammoval + ammorel : '0'")}$ and ${setValues(ammoitem, 'ammoQuantity', "target.ammoQuantity - ammorel")}$, will not updating ammo in weapon (the red numbers), only ammo in gear

[limpid gull]

add ${recalculate( fallback( fetchFromUuid( ammoitem, 'ammoQuantity'), 0) )}$, not helped

[manic crypt]

What happens if you change that number field into a label? I know it's harder to edit later (requires something like a button control with another number field to add ammo) but it could be something with processing the change from a number input field.

that number field meaning the Quantity feild on the ammo item

[limpid gull]

into a label? or text field?

[manic crypt]

One sec while I think more about it. It's 2am here so I'm not totally awake.

[limpid gull]

changing into text field didnt work

[limpid gull]

I'm not rushing you. 😅

i can share system with you, if you want of course. but in some place you can find Russian 🇷🇺 languages (keys in eng)

[manic crypt]

if the keys are in english I can sort it out, but it'll have to wait until morning my time. I don't mind taking a look at it tomorrow.

or.. later today I mean.

[limpid gull]

ok

[manic crypt]

do you want to just DM me the JSON and I'll load the sheet and see what I can do with it, or should we get together later?

[austere lava]

Is there a way to keep a dice roll in a variable? So that you could chose after to keep the lowest or highest.
EG: [3d20] places in the varHat. Then use varHat to give the player a choice to only keep the highest 1 or 2 dice.

[fading turret]

The way my system handles iniciative rolls is by using this formula ${roll_formula:= dexterity_level == 1 ? '1d20' : dexterity_level == 2 ? '2d20kl1' : dexterity_level == 3 ? '2d20kh1' : '0d0'}$ ${[:roll_formula:]}$. Unfortunately it doesn't work into the Iniciative Formula in CSB, even if I try to remove the ${}$ of the second formula. I want to know if there is any way to make it work

[manic crypt]

I would put the first formula in a sheet hidden attribute keyed roll_formula (so that you can call it in the initiative formula), then just put :roll_formula: in the initiative setting.

[fading turret]

It's working perfectly! thanks!

[manic crypt]

No problem, good luck with it!

[fading turret]

Actually, if you know any way to make a iniciative button in the sheet it would be great

[manic crypt]

Initiative is handled by Foundry, not by CSB separately, so it would require an initiative roll macro; just a label set to button mode then one of the various macro formats in a script to execute. It's a lot easier to just train your players to go to the sidebar and roll it through the interface when you're setting up the combat.

[manic crypt]

@formal goblet When you get a chance, can you look at the behavior in the .gif and see if that's something expected? His formulae seem to work fine, and it doesn't throw any errors, but the ammo item seems to need to be opened and closed before the ammo count display will update. Is there some kind of refresh script that he could add to the roll formula to either bypass or automate that?

@limpid gull I poked at the JSON and I couldn't figure out a way to accomplish what you're doing without the same thing happening, so I thought I'd ask Martin.

[formal goblet]

There should be a message from Linked in this chat regarding rerendering

Got it: #1037072885044477962 message

[manic crypt]

Looks like exactly the same situation, thanks!

[austere lava]

anyone got an idea why my css is turning out like this? With a strange space on the left side.

.mcss-attributes-score-entries{
  border: 2px solid #54544f;
  border-radius: 8px;
  background-color: rgba(232, 228, 216, 0.3);
  width: 140px;
  text-align: center;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  padding: 0px;
  float: center;
  margin: 0;
}

The components inside the panel seem to be pushed a little to the right.

aligned to the right and left,

[austere lava]

Found the answer. Its a class called "custom-system-field-root" that gives everything a 10px margin-left.

[deep lichen]

I'm unsure if its the intended behavior, but if you have a negative value on a number field with relative modification enabled, and you click off of the field, it will subtract onto itself. It can cascade pretty quick. lol

[formal goblet]

Semi-intended. I always forget to block relative modification for number fields with min-value < 0 because of that reason

[deep lichen]

Fair enough, just thought it was something you should know.

[faint beacon]

Is there anywhere that key values are set in the actor object? I see in the actor object that actor.system.hidden[x] is where hidden attributes are located. For example, I have a hidden attr 'STR' that is equal to ${STRCore + STRMod}$ -- how would I go about getting the value of STR? -- This is in reference for macros

[copper glade]

hi guys, I'm trying to grab the value off a dropdown on the sheet for a macro, but I can't find the right term, I have tried;
nDice = actor.system.props.drop_name.value;
I know it should be something like drop_name.selectedIndex but I don't know exactly

[formal goblet]

Without .value

[formal goblet]

actor.system.props.key

[copper glade]

is that returning an int for the key then? I'm juts getting NaN as an output

[sick bone]

Hello, i'm new and trying to implement an old French RPG in FVTT with CSB but I have encountered a roadblock.
I need to link an actor of one type to another actor of another type (for example: linking an NPC actor as a mount to a a Player actor), but I can't find how to do it in the doc or the example module.

[formal goblet]

No, a string of the key

[copper glade]

Weird. I just get nothing in my message output for it then

[formal goblet]

You can try out fromUuidSync('uuid').system.props in the console and see what's in there

[copper glade]

should it need parsed in some way to output in a chat message?

[formal goblet]

https://foundryvtt.com/api/classes/client.ChatMessage.html#create
https://foundryvtt.com/api/interfaces/foundry.types.ChatMessageData.html

[copper glade]

Alright, it was coming back null, even tho the sheet has a selection chosen. Ugh I'll just use something else instead of dropdowns.

[formal goblet]

The first thing I'd check is if the actor context is correct (e.g. checking the name or comparing UUIDS)

[copper glade]

dunno. If I make it a numfield it works just fine

it's fine, i'll just use that instead

[sick bone]

Anyone know how to link an actor-type to another actor-type for mounted combat in CSB ?

[formal goblet]

You can only use fetchFromActor() or fetchFromUuid() for that. There's no other built-in way. For everythings else you'll need your own implementation like scripts or even custom Components

[sick bone]

Thx for the answer. How do I go about creating a custom component ? Is there any documentation for that ?

[formal goblet]

The implementation of all Components in CSB is here: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/tree/develop/src/module/sheets/components?ref_type=heads

A short guide is here: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Create-Components/Create-a-Custom-Input-Component

[faint wharf]

I'm running into a weird issue. I have a lot of item instances already placed inside my characters and their spawns. At some point, I added new functionality that relies on a field which doesn’t exist in these previously deployed instances (saved characters, etc.), and now I’m getting errors because of that.

Is there a way to force-update all existing instances to match the new version of the item? I found a button that sounds like it might do that, but it only seems to affect presets, not the actual instances.

Sorry if I’m not using the right terminology—hope this makes sense!

[formal goblet]

The Button to reload the Templates of all Items only reloads those in the world collection. Meaning only non-embedded Items will be updated via this way. If you want to update embedded Items, you'll need a little script that will do so (item.templateSystem.reloadTemplate() for each item instance). Just bear in mind, that Items can be embedded into Actors, Actors into Tokens and Tokens into Scenes. So if you really mean ALL ITEMS, you'd need to iterate over all scenes -> all tokens (filtered by non-linked actors) -> all actors (indcluding the ones in the world collection) -> all items (filtered by the Item Template).

And this can take several minutes to do so depending on the complexity/size of your world

[faint wharf]

lets the ryzen go brrrrrrrrr!

will this code do it for all?

can you ade me with such atomic script? i think it may be usefull for more people

[formal goblet]

Probably something like game.scenes.forEach(scene => scene.tokens.forEach(token => token.actor.items.forEach(item => item.templateSystem.reloadTemplate())))

[faint wharf]

will try thank you. Can i somehow access how far token is moved in combat? for example to track action points?

[formal goblet]

Dunno, CSB has nothing to do with that

[faint wharf]

so i cant for example limit movement in combat to spped in character sheet?

[formal goblet]

I can't tell, how and where this is tracked. CSB simply has no own implementation for Token movement. You better ask in a different channel.

[faint wharf]

ok

[sick bone]

Is there a way to get the image path of an actor using a fetchFromUuid() ?

[formal goblet]

%{return entity.entity.img;}%

[sick bone]

Thx that seems to work for getting the current entity's image path, but i'm trying to get the image path of an actor from another actor from whom I have the UUID.

For example, i'm in the player character actor sheet and want to show the image of an NPC actor that serves as his mount and for which I have the UUID.

[formal goblet]

Then use fromUuidSync('uuid') in the script

[sick bone]

That worked perfectly, thx.

The doc for the fromUuidSync() function and other are in the FVTT API right ?

[formal goblet]

Yep, part from Foundry. The only 2 classes that you might use from CSB are TemplateSystem and ComputablePhrase. The rest is basically all Foundry

[sick bone]

Guess I'll have to actually learn how FVTT to do what I want then. ^^'

Any advice on what to read ?

[formal goblet]

This is a good starting point. It also contains links to other useful sources: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Guides/Formula-System#33-script-expressions

[sick bone]

Thanks a lot, now I know what my bedtime reading will be for the coming weeks. x)

[silver lake]

I'm looking to automate damage dealing. Is there a template somewhere I could look at for rolling a dice, checking a value in the target sheet, and if the roll goes over it, reducing a value in the targe sheet?

[frosty niche]

I have two dynamic tables with matching name columns between them, one on an actor, one on an item. Is it possible to make a single item modifier that adds from all the rows on one into the other, or do I have to make one item modifier for each row?

[vocal sorrel]

Hello, could I have some expert help on this roll-message? It is supposed to work like a radio button that sets all of the Item Displayer's Active checkbox within the item to to 'false' and then if the Active_Key that you are clicking on is 0, it sets it to 1. If the Active_Key was a 1 however it would set it back to 0 leaving no Active items in the Displayer.
I feel like there is a better way to go about this, especially when it comes to two different formulas here.

[oblique willow]

Is there a way to have vertical text?

[restive nymph]

Heya! Is it possible to add buttons to chat formulas? I.e. a re-roll button that appears after the result?

[oblique willow]

Why is my attribute bar not adding woundedCurrent like the other two health types?
They are copied identically (other than changing key values of course)

[sick bone]

Is it expected behavior when using fetchFromUuid(X,Y) where Y is a key that point to a boolean value of X it returns me a String value of the boolean ?
(Example: I use fetchFromUuid() from an actor to fetch the 'Equipped' value from an item on the character sheet, it will return me either 'true' or 'false' as a String instead of a boolean.)

[twilit path]

I'm using Custom System Builder + Foundry v11 and I keep running into this issue where I can't create a new actor because the type field is missing and throws an error. Has anyone encountered this issue before?

[frosty niche]

Is there a way to either show an item, and, more preferably, turn a formula directly into a string instead of a button that shows the formula, inside a roll message?

[sick bone]

You can prevent the formula to generate a white bubble by prefixing the variable with a ! in the roll message.
Example:
<strong>Initiative :</strong> ${!init}$ will produce the value of init as a string (image 1) while not adding the ! in front of the variable,
<strong>Initiative :</strong> ${init}$ will produce the value of init as a clickable bubble in the chat (image 2).

[frosty niche]

'Eyyyy, nice! That works great.

Just to double check, though, this isn't a dumb way of doing item references?

This, specifically, I mean. @UUID[${!sameRow('uuid')}$]{${!item.name}$}

[sick bone]

You can add HTML & JS script in the roll message to show any element in the chat, including the image of the item but you will need to use a script %{...}% to get the image path to add in the <img> element.
Example : <img src="%{return fromUuidSync('INSERT_UUID_OF_ITEM_HERE.img;}%"> will add an image to the chat message

Can't tell you much about your way of using item reference in chat, but it's seems OK to use the UUID as long as you intend to show a specific instance of the item.

I'm still learning myself ^^

[sick bone]

Actually, I didn't even knew you could use that formula to produce a clickable data-link, I was using direct HTML code in my messages to replicate the same thing but adding the picture of the item like in an itemDisplayer.

[frosty niche]

Oh, turns out you don't even need to do the {${!item.name}$} part. @UUID[${!sameRow('uuid')}$] alone works.

[sick bone]

It seems so indeed, where did you find the reference to the @UUID[...] trick in the Doc ? there might be a way to add the image from the item with just another argument instead of using an <img> element.

[frosty niche]

I didn't. I just clicked and dragged an item into the chatbox and saw what it gave me.

[sick bone]

oh, must be a FVTT API function then

[frosty niche]

Then I went looking for "uuid" in the docs. Apparently there's a hidden column in the item displayer for it.

[sick bone]

You can see these info in the console when you display them in there

You can use the command fromUuidSync('REPLACE_WITH_ACTOR_UUID').system.props in the console and it will show you all the elements from the components in you actorsheet such as the item-displayers.

and you can get your actor UUID by clicking on the little book icon on the upper left side of the actor sheet

[frosty niche]

Still want to know about this. Morseso now, because I have more than one thing for which this is important.

[sick bone]

I would be interested in that as well. Haven't yet dug the doc too much on that front though

[quiet stump]

I am struggling with the implementation of a fairly simple function. I want to create a hidden attribute based on a label cs_skmod. if the cs_skmod is 5 or less, the hidden attribute should be -1, from 5-10 it should be zero, from 11-15 +1 and from 16-20 +2. I tried it as in the instructions with a table with two columns and
${lookupRange('cs_table', 'Modifier', 'Score', cs_skmod)}$
, but it always returns ERROR.

[frosty niche]

Do you need single-quotes around cs_skmod?

Hm... Maybe not.

[quiet stump]

I tried it with and without single quotes.

[frosty niche]

Modifier and Score, are those component names, or column labels?

[quiet stump]

Column labels

[frosty niche]

There's your problem.

[quiet stump]

I am so confused, I tried to replicate the example in the documentation. How do I get it to compare cs_skmod to the first column of cs_table and return the second column if it matches?

[frosty niche]

I don't have enough context (or experience) to tell you much more.

[quiet stump]

thanks anyway for the hint

[sick bone]

Is cs_table a dynamicTable or an itemDisplayer ?

Cause lookupRange() only work on those 2, otherwise it will throw an error

[quiet stump]

it is just a normal table, that might be the problem

[sick bone]

That is the problem yes

normal table are nothing more than fancily displayed labels

They don't really have any relationship between their columns in the eye of the system

So you will have to change your cs_table to a dynamicTable if you want to use lookupRange() on it

[quiet stump]

I just did it, the ERROR is gone but now there is no result at all.

[frosty niche]

Really wanting for a way to have variable width panels and not have them vertically centered.

[sick bone]

You could make a css class with in a custom .css and add the class to your panels in the advanced configuration

[frosty niche]

Well that much I know. Was hoping not to have to break out the css for it, though.

[sick bone]

Yeah, me neither, but sometime you don't really have the choice...

[sick bone]

Did you give your dynamicTable columns the proper key you are calling in the lookupRange() function ? You should check what error the console gives you.

[quiet stump]

Thank you very much! I needed to provide the column keys, not the column names.

[sick bone]

As a general principle, names are only for display.

[formal goblet]

Uhm, have you edited the system.json-file or why is it different to ours?

[twilit path]

Yeah I think I edited it to the point of breaking it, I'm starting from scratch

[formal goblet]

Everything in the custom-system-builder folder in the system-folder is not meant to be edited by users at all if you don't exactly know what you do

Try to redownload the system

[formal goblet]

A combination of fetchFromActor() and setPropertyInEntity() should do the trick. But be aware, that users don't have permission to edit Actors they do not own

[formal goblet]

setValues() and setPropertyInEntity() are not applying the changes immediately. They happen all together at the end of the Label Roll Message

[formal goblet]

Possible, but requires quite a bit of scripting (including listening to Hooks). Do you want to continue?

[formal goblet]

Normally it should cast to the next best primitive

[sick bone]

So fetchFromUuid() can only return a certain subset of primitive, of which boolean are not part of ?

[formal goblet]

It should include booleans

[sick bone]

Oh, so would you say that warrant an issue on the gitlab ? I was not sure if it was a bug or intended behavior.

[formal goblet]

Test it with typeOf(fetchFromUuid())

[sick bone]

It returns as String

[formal goblet]

k, then probably a bug

[sick bone]

Ok wait a sec, I think I have found something off

Ok, if I first use fetchFromUuid(...) and store the result in a hidden attribute variable and then do a typeOf(...) on said value it returns me String but if I do typeOf(fetchFromUuid(...)) it returns me boolean.

Example:
If I defined an hidden attribute weaponRCrit with the following formula ${fetchFromUuid(weaponRight, 'critDouble', false)}$ and then do a typeOf(weaponRCrit) ==> return boolean.
But if I just do typeOf(fetchFromUuid(weaponRight, 'critDouble', false)) ==> return String.

[formal goblet]

That should be correct. Labels and hidden Attributes will always store strings

[sick bone]

Even numbers will be cast as string when declared in hidden attributes ?

[formal goblet]

Yeah. But usually not an issue with numbers, because the usual operators coerce them back to numbers

[sick bone]

Was wondering why I was not forced to use equalText() for equality comparison on numbers stored in hidden attributes yeah.

[formal goblet]

Yep, and there's no string concat with +

[sick bone]

So if neither labels nor hidden attributes are 'safe' place to store boolean result, any idea of where I could store them on an actor sheet without having them turn into string ?

Ah, maybe hidden checkbox I guess

[formal goblet]

Actually nowhere besides Checkboxes. The system is missing stricter type controls for now

[sick bone]

I suppose it's on the to-do list then ?

Might be quite the breaking change

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/issues/?sort=created_date&state=opened&first_page_size=20&page_after=eyJjcmVhdGVkX2F0IjoiMjAyNC0xMS0xNiAxMToxNzo0Ny41MTIwOTkwMDAgKzAwMDAiLCJpZCI6IjE1NzQwMTc1MyJ9&show=eyJpaWQiOiIzNDgiLCJmdWxsX3BhdGgiOiJjdXN0b20tc3lzdGVtLWJ1aWxkZXIvY3VzdG9tLXN5c3RlbS1idWlsZGVyIiwiaWQiOjE0NDAxNzAyM30%3D

[sick bone]

'1 year ago', yup definitly in the todo list then. 😁 But wouldn't this change risk breaking systems developped using workaround in previous versions of the CSB ?

Like if I use equalText() to circumvent the issue of my boolean hidden attributes turning into a string, would that be problematic in the future ?

[formal goblet]

Can't tell for sure, but what I've imagined for Components like Labels would be an additional field for type-selection, where you can select between string, number, boolean and auto (with auto being the default for newly created Labels and string for old Labels)

[sick bone]

So I guess hidden attributes wouldn't be affected by this change then.

[formal goblet]

They work the same way as Labels, so adding a type selection field for them is also no issue

[sick bone]

Guess then with the old labels & hidden attributes defaulting to 'string' like you said should be enough to ensure backward compatibility.

[formal goblet]

Yeah, that should be enough

[fresh arrow]

I do 😄
Do you have some good insight and/or tricks&tips for that?

[lethal rover]

Heyo, long time no post! I've finally come back to running my home system and wanted to make some incremental upgrades. Hit another wall (I've forgotten most of what I learned over a year ago now 😅 ). I'm trying to roll dice using a text field in a dynamic table... I'm getting errors and I just want to know if I'm missing something super obvious or whether this just isn't a viable function.

${sameRow('WEAPONNAME')}$ : ${sameRow('DAMAGEDIE') + ref(sameRow('WEAPONABILITY'))}$ ${sameRow('DAMAGETYPE')}$

Currently outputs with the Weapon Name : ERROR Damage Type.

I've tried a few different things but this is the closest to outputting what I'm looking for. Take mercy for I am no keyboard wizard 🙏

[restive nymph]

Could someone help me get my head around css. I've built the css in notepad, put in in the data folder and saved it as a .css but now, when I go to select it in the CSS style file in Game Settings, it won't show up?

[vagrant hollow]

Known Foundry bug – the file browser is not able to recognise .css as a legit filetype.
Write in the game setting the path to your file yourself.
CSB will use it.
Hint: you have to reload your gameworld afterwards to give CSB the possibility to use your CSS.

[restive nymph]

Huh, I actually thought to try that already but still doesn't seem to be working, unless I'm making a very nooblike mistake?

[formal goblet]

typo in directory name

[restive nymph]

Ahahaha I'm such an idiot

[austere lava]

Is there a simple way to get the number of entries in a Dynamic Table?

[formal goblet]

count(lookup(...))

[austere lava]

Oh I didn't see count in the Repository

[formal goblet]

It's part of the mathjs-library

[austere lava]

Yes I just saw that. Thanks 😄 .

[sinful spade]

man looks like i've been missing a lot

[latent moon]

How do i fix this, i was told to delete the item ID but idk how

[deft sluice]

Hi @formal goblet ,
I don't know if it's a bug .. but everytime I use "use an extended text editor" in a chat message, all my > and < in an ${value}$ transform into < and >, and messed up all my condition 😂

[cerulean adder]

Hello! Is there a way to get the system to pull up the radius tool when you click a button on the sheet? I know in other systems if you cast fireball or something, as part of the chat log it will automatically get you to select a circle template with a predefined radius to drop where you'd like.

[sly mason]

Has anyone created a HeroQuest system on Foundry? I am just loving this game and it would be fun to play online with my out of state friends.

Due to copyright stuff I would think we wouldn't be able to have adventures and stuff like that built in, but if we simply had a system where we could have the character sheets and NPC sheets and the dice rolls then users would just have to manually enter there adventures and PCs/NPCs and upload maps. But just to have the system available would be cool. Maybe it could even include the free download adventures from HQ. And there are people who make their own adventures that they could share.

[keen lance]

Hasbro Heroquest or Chaosium Heroquest (aka now Questworlds)?

[deft sluice]

Yeah, i think i've seen it somewhere too

[deft sluice]

it seems you delete the _template of the item ?

[formal goblet]

fromUuidSync('uuid').delete() in the console with the UUID of the Item (the upper one). The lower one is the UUID of the Actor. Make sure you use the right one, otherwise the Actor will be gone.

[formal goblet]

Well... More like an UX issue, because that is more or less the intended behavior of the Rich Text Editor. The conversion happend because of htmlspecialchars (you can look that up online if you want to know more)

[formal goblet]

That has to be scripted by yourself, CSB doesn't help there

[deft sluice]

I'm using it for making the roll output more readable 😅 if it's an UX issue, well..

[cerulean adder]

Thanks!

[oblique willow]

How would I make a roll label set initiative for that token?

[faint wharf]

please help. I have macro to randomize NPC it worked realy well and fast for long. but since updating csb it started to work reaaaaly slow like minutes to proces 3+ tokens. Do i use something depricated or something? please help

[oblique willow]

How would I add a modifier if the die roll was a certain number?

[manic crypt]

One result, use the Roll in a ?: conditional. For a bunch of results, use a switchCase()

[formal goblet]

Open the console and see what happens there. An Actor Update can be quite expensive depending on the complexity of your sheet

[brave oar]

Hi, I'm kinda unexperienced with Custom System Builder and I want to set up an inventory kinda like pic related (You click on the container in the inventory to look inside it). This is for an OSR system, so the backpack/belt pouch/whatever would have its own weight added to that of all the items inside it, and then the weight of the container added to the character's total encumbrance. I have no clue how to accomplish this or even if it's possible lol so I was wondering if any of you guys could give some pointers.

[manic crypt]

Based on what you have there, you would probably do most of the math in the item, then just pull the total weight value to the character's item displayer.

Have you read the wiki about setting up labels and then using the formulae to total them out? The value in the Total Weight label would look like ${sum(sum(lookup('<contents key>', '<Weight key>')),<base weight key>)}$

in the picture you have there, it would return 110, because you don't have a weight set in the base weight label.

[deft sluice]

@formal goblet Is it possible to add an option for coloring jauges ? for skills points,action points etc. 😊

That's usually done with CSS, Scyrizu has guided a couple people to it in the past.

Arigato 👌

Maybe an option for it will be easier for beginners 😅

If you have time @sinful spade can you take a moment to explain me your css class ? 🙏

[frosty niche]

What's wrong with this item filter?
equalText(item.PerkType, "Advancement") and equalText(item.PerkCategory, CategoryA)
It works without the second term. CategoryA is on the item sheet as a text field.

Says it's an uncomputable token.

[sinful spade]

hey sorry for the delay 🙂
i haven't been active in this chat very much since I've been putting most of my time to building my company's website rather than the character sheet.

what did you need?

[sinful spade]

always appreciate you pointing people my way!

[sinful spade]

o -- just recoloring a meter?

   background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) !important;
}```

replace .meterclass with whatever class you give your desired meter(s) 😉

[manic crypt]

I try to know my limits, I can advise on formulae, but CSS isn't something I'd say I'm proficient with, whereas you're an actual professional 🙂

[sinful spade]

haha i'm actually not though!

i cant even code a single line of JS -- which i think bars me from any actual web dev job haha

[lilac panther]

I want to make a uniform size system, and I have information about it in one place.
But I need that information on every item and every character. Can I somehow access a dynamic table from another sheet?
Or can I make some static constant info and not be afraid of deleting it?

[sinful spade]

what is a uniform size system? if it's always the same information -- why a dynamic table?

{rather by same information - i dont mean values , but the same fields}

[lilac panther]

Uniform size system, like, 1 = 2-5 meters no matter if it's an item or a creature
And stater is 0 = 1-2 meters, like a human and also a longsword or a greatsword.
I have values from -13 to 62 rn and redacting them in two or more places would be such a pain.

And a dynamic table to hold the relation of size number to meters it represents.

[sinful spade]

ok im following so far.
do you need to reference that in formula or something?
i'd think you could use a subitem template and place that into all your items as needed

-- or an item for actor sheets

as far as referencing it outside of the actor... I know i've seen others do it with JS but that's out of my league.

• i suppose a CSB function would work as well find, lookup, etc... depending on your usecase

i've referenced dynamic tables from the parent actor in items before

[lilac panther]

I need to get the data from a table by key, i know how to do that, but the table has to be in some way connected to the field, either it has to be on the sheet, or through parent-child connection.
Subitem template is not an option, as i can't update it properly, as i want to add new sizes up to -100.

Yes, i am crazy

And also, can I update dynamic tables with code? So they can update on their own, when i do a specific thing

[frosty niche]

I feel like I must be missing something, here.
I have a perk in a class as an item. So long as you have the permission, if you try to move the perk to a character sheet, it removes it from the class. It seems like there's not even a modifier key to make it a copy.
So is having items in items that you're expected to copy over to your sheet not intended, or is there something I can do to make it so you don't have to go looking through the items list for a fresh copy?

[sinful spade]

i've updated values within a dynamic table. idk about adding new rows tho

[sinful spade]

setPropertyInEntity('self', lookupRef('attributeTable', 'attributeBase', 'attributeName', 'Motor'), (ref('ccMotorAdd') + ref('motorRef')))
chance the value fo the motor score to the old motor score + the additional value

now that's within sheet, you'll probably have to identify target actor somehow outside

[lilac panther]

and how are you looking up a field and not it's value?

how understanding this is harder than an actual code?!

[sinful spade]

?

[sinful spade]

i cant code lol so idk - but this isn't that bad

[sinful spade]

hold control when you move it to copy?

idk if i follow correctly but sounds like your classes arent items themselves?

[frosty niche]

Doesn't work and yes they are, respectively.

[sinful spade]

referecing a field and not its value?? idk what you mean?
like how do i get 'strength' and not the value of strength>

[sinful spade]

so your perks are subitems? where are you movng them from and to?

[lilac panther]

i've found a wiki paragraph for that command, thank you

[lilac panther]

i can't find a way to replicate that bug, can you show us how it works?

[frosty niche]

Perks are items, classes are items, the perks are in the classes, the class is on the actor, and I'm trying to copy the perk from the class to the actor.

Note that I opened the class from the actor.

[lilac panther]

i've found how to replicate it

thank you for the demonstration

[sinful spade]

are you moving the subitem from the class template?

thats how it looks

[frosty niche]

It's not a template. The template doesn't have any items at all.

[lilac panther]

it works like that only if you have that parent item on the item sheet

i think it does that to prevent duplication

[frosty niche]

I mean ideally none of these things would get fully cloned without explicitly telling it to, and everything would be references, but I am given to understand that that's not something CSB does.

[lilac panther]

if you need to avoid that, you can use a UUID link:
@UUID[Item.mgY46jgoqYJGqO0U]{aaaaa}

[frosty niche]

So... What, have a big rich text field instead of an item display?

[lilac panther]

it works in rich text

[lilac panther]

yeah... Something like that

it's not pretty, but

[frosty niche]

Hm... Maybe I can use a dynamic table, and have it look up the item by UUID for the description.

[lilac panther]

oh

you can add a row with a uuid link to the item container

or you can't?

[frosty niche]

Let's find out...

[lilac panther]

and also it shouldn't work as references because it's items, that can in theory be changed(like durability of an item), so that it doesn't change the durability of all items of that type

what i hate is, it can't see items inside other items to update them, when you reload all sheets. But i think it's a bug. (items inside actors too)

[lilac panther]

is it working?

[frosty niche]

So close.

[lilac panther]

it's not a rich text, is it?

[frosty niche]

That's a label, there.

[lilac panther]

TIHI

[frosty niche]

Rich text is... Interesting.

[lilac panther]

what the hell is that

[frosty niche]

OH

I switched it over to Dialogue Editor.

[lilac panther]

is it rich text or is it a label?

[frosty niche]

That's rich text.

[lilac panther]

so we can't put it on item container?

[frosty niche]

Oh wait what
that's what I was supposed to do? Uh, hold on...

[lilac panther]

nah, you can't

[frosty niche]

Just labels and meters.

[lilac panther]

yep

[frosty niche]

In any case, this isn't a half bad compromise. Dynamic table where you put the UUID in and it gives you the reference and description.

Can hide the UUID for players.

[lilac panther]

i just want to shoot that mf item container

[frosty niche]

It's certainly special.

[lilac panther]

it's so handicapped, that i want to put it at rest

i just want a checkbox, is it that much i'm asking for?!

i hope that next update would make item containers better

[lilac panther]

So, are you gonna leave it like that?

Just make the UUID field seen only by gm, so players can't break it

[frosty niche]

Yeah, probably.

[lilac panther]

I know i would)

[frosty niche]

Yyyyep, looks like it's not gonna take.

[sinful spade]

Has anyone figured out how to edit item displayer tooltips?

I'd love for there to be a display under there saying basic weapon properties rather than needing to open it (quick view)

[manic crypt]

Tbh, I've never even looked. It seems like I remember seeing a tooltip option somewhere..

[sinful spade]

there are tooltips for template components, for example i could put one over the entire item contianer, where if im hovering over something it'll show whatever's in the tooltip. This doesnt allow for per-item tooltip changes and has a weird double effect since there are two tooltips being called

[manic crypt]

it's defined in the itemContainer.js file, about line 700, it specifies item.name as the content.

[sinful spade]

right, it's defined within the CSB system --
so i suppose it'll have to be done with a world script or something?
I was hoping for a ready-made way to edit that haha. i wasn't kidding about not knowing JS

[manic crypt]

it's a one-line change if you create a tooltip field in your items and change that line to item.tooltip. You just have to go back and change it when they update, or like you said, add a world script to change it on load. If an item doesn't have item.tooltip it already has a fallback of just showing Item in the tooltip.

[sinful spade]

oh i see what you're saying, change the tooltip from pointing to name by default to a label with my custom HTML.
That's a pretty neat workaround.

Honestly that sounds like a perfect 'bite-sized' first javascript project if anything to learn how to make a worldscript

i'll put that somewhere on my todo list.

[manic crypt]

The world script answer is definitely the better choice, after all, the other way you're mucking around under Linked and Martin's hood directly.

[sinful spade]

it's bound to happen eventually tbh 🤣

[manic crypt]

This section right here is the one generating the item on the item displayer: (the highlighted line is the tooltip instruction)

That's line 700.

[deft sluice]

Yep, just recoloring a meter 👍
I just put that line in the css section of my meter and voilà ?

[sinful spade]

the css section of the component is just where you put the class 'meterclass' or whatever you're replacing that name with.

you'll need to make a css file and use that to actually add css code to components. unless you hard code them using pure html in labels.

you'll need a css file eventually, best to just do that.

or use the customcss module, i'd have done that in hindsight if i had known about it

[manic crypt]

Thats what i do, but the only css I'm using right now is just turning the title bar text red for no real reason

[deft sluice]

And I choose the css file in the module's option right ?

[sinful spade]

Honestly, it's fantastic that you can edit the css and see changes in real time with that module. sure beats what i have to do since i just manually edit my css file.
save, go back to browser, refresh, go back to file make changes... repeat .

though, it can be a bit annoying to navigate once you start getting large amounts of css in there.

maybe i should edit in custom css module then save it to my normal file once i'm happy with that 'component'? i wonder if that'd work.

[sinful spade]

im not sure what you're asking but that sounds ... right?

[manic crypt]

In the csb settings options.

[deft sluice]

Sorry, english Is not my native language and it's early 😂

[sinful spade]

lol its late here and i've got a headache from trying to get the dice code shifu provided working 😦

my concentration is very low atm

[deft sluice]

So, in the meter I put "name of the class" in the css field, and I create a css file with the line of code you give me ?

[sinful spade]

yep.
just dont forget to name the meterclass in the code provided as well

also -- 0, 0, 0, 1 is black so . change that to whatever

[deft sluice]

Thanks, I will try 👍

Can I put a html name instead of rgb values ?

[sinful spade]

why would you ever 😭

you can but i'll be very disapointed in you.
background-color: coral;

[deft sluice]

It feels easier, I'm really sorry, 😂

[sinful spade]

bro out here color coding with 2012 minecraft color codes 😭

[sinful spade]

@deft sluice haha sorry I thought that'd be better received. Just pulling your chain. Whatever works for your sheet and time allows.

[deft sluice]

I'm not the only one who found it simpliest😂

[sinful spade]

True enough. And you can always go back and change it to get more customization later.

[deft sluice]

It's already complicated for me, I will stick to a simple recoloring 😅

"keep it simple" like they said

(👏 for your sheet, it look awesome)

[cerulean trench]

im new to CSB's formulas, & am trying to figure out how to make the meter on the left hand sheet for the item "Vessel: Cat" equal the "Vessel Body" on the item

the meter seems like the best way to do hit points, but im struggling to figure out how to make it work?

[sinful spade]

What left hand sheet?

[cerulean trench]

sorry the image didnt attach

[sinful spade]

Ah so how to make the meter value == a number value?

[cerulean trench]

yeah i made an item template for "vessels" which have HP ratings called "Vessel Body"

but im just struggling to figure out what formula would link it to show up in the left sheets item displayer

[sinful spade]

Thanks! 🙏 And remember I'm available for commission!

[sinful spade]

I'm not sitting at my pc rn so off memory may be a little odd.. there's a premade component for meters in item displayers right?

[cerulean trench]

im not sure, ive not worked with these formullas before. last time i set this up a friend did it so I'm completely green to this aspect

[sinful spade]

If so, we can just set the meter value to
${item.VesselHP}$ assuming that vesslehp is the component inside vessel: Cat

[cerulean trench]

so you need to do the item. before the tag you set it up as?

[sinful spade]

Pretty much!

[cerulean trench]

succcess on the rating one!

hmmm, the label text for rating worked, but the meter isnt

[sinful spade]

Btw just a UIX question for you,
But you are aware that if your hp is nested in an item you'll need to either code a button to modify it, or you'll need to open sub items every time.

It may be worth the time considering if that structure is best long term

[cerulean trench]

it is, since this game allows for multiple "bodies" in the form of vessels

is there a way other then meter that might be preferable?

OH it did work

[sinful spade]

It wasn't the meter I was bringing up but the actual number field value that may be irksome.

A dynamic table may be easier depending on your usecase

[cerulean trench]

i just didnt update the item on the sheet

[sinful spade]

And it looks fine? You just set it to be the max not the current 🙏

[cerulean trench]

oh thats an idea

[sinful spade]

Oh good! Glad it worked

[cerulean trench]

yeah i forgot the item on the sheet wasnt the one i had opened

yeah the meter has the look id want but adjusting it would be a pain.

[sinful spade]

You can put a meter in a dynamic table with a bit of work fyi

[cerulean trench]

would i put that in the item or the item displayer?

i only see the option of a label or meter

[sinful spade]

I meant not using vessle items at all, switch to a dynamic table with columns for all the stats you need so you have easier access for editing

Or if you're good with JavaScript you could just write a macro that updates health values for you, thought idk anything about that

[deft sluice]

Only for css or for entire sheet coding ? 😊

[sinful spade]

Depends on your usecase though. If you're using the vessels as tokens for example, that's a whole other story. But then you're looking at actors and not items anyway

[sinful spade]

Lol both 😂 just not JavaScript. Can't do it won't lie about it

No custom macros here haha

[deft sluice]

Maybe later, I will call you, I'm thinking of my magic system
There's damage multiplier for each magical element, weakness and resistance, etc.. ..

[cerulean trench]

yea vessels are numerous & more like items that have HP then anything. so it wont be tokens so much as just a way to track home damaged their current meat suit is

items just make it easier because there are tons of different vessel types for people to purchase, & drag/drop onto the sheet

[sinful spade]

Doable! Let me know.

[sinful spade]

Absolutely, and especially if you want say, a human vessel that can equipt weapons or armor.

Items can hold sub items no problem

[deft sluice]

Will PM you 👍

[cerulean trench]

thats actually very relevant too, im reading through the chapter on them now, they can get "roles" & other options added to them. vessels are very complex. and this is just the core book for In Nomine, ive got like 5 more books of content to add to it once i get the base sheet ready 😄

im wondering if there is a way to setup buttons that might adjust a vessels body HP up & down. hmmm

ugh that would be complicated

[sinful spade]

I'm not sure what system you're running, but it's almost sounding more like vessels should be actors in their own right, tokens and the 9, where the angel acts more like a 'party sheet' for most of the game?

[sinful spade]

I've done something similar. Not too hard but then you're limited to 1 and 5 intervals for example... Not ideal and slower to update in the actual sheet (there's a lag for some reason for the item to update)

Well I say 'slower' maybe the same time overall

[cerulean trench]

sadly thats a bit too clunky, given that everything else other then HP, & some equipment is rolled from the primary sheet.

[sinful spade]

🤔 interesting

[cerulean trench]

i might have to give up on having an identifier for each vessel

and instead have a "current vessel HP"

heres how the pen & paper sheet looks,

[sinful spade]

Nah you can absolutely have the meter and it'll work no problem

I'm just obsessive about not having to click through tabs or open sheets I don't have to in my system

Also just workshoping ideas with you.

[cerulean trench]

so in this case they only use 1 vessel, but as a campaign goes on they will get more. like animals & other mortal forms.

[sinful spade]

Yeah I think you're on the right track with using items for vessels then... Opening their sheets isn't the worst thing

Well I guess it really depends on what tokens / actors you end up needing.

[cerulean trench]

ok i got it tracking the active HP vs max now

[sinful spade]

But anyway whatever what you want it to work.
You can absolutely have the meters displayed for shorthand in the item displayer for a quick view and have buttons for adding / removing 1 hp at a time (+1 additional interval of choice)

[cerulean trench]

yeah i think the buttons might be the best bet. maybe i can set up a table to "select current vessel" from a dropdown of all available vessels

the mind & soul HP would also benefit from that as well, but thankfully those are just static so i can figure those out later. i mostly wanted to get vessels figured out since they are the more complex of the 3 types of character options

thanks for your help on this @sinful spade. im slowly figuring this out

[sinful spade]

Dude I get it haha.
I only got to where I am because of how helpful everyone here is, especially martin.

🤔
You could stack all three on top of each other to display but that may get kinda cramp

Something like:
Mindvalue mindmeter
Soulvalue soulmeter
Bodyvalue bodymeter.
In either two columns or one column showing a 2x3 table with the content

[cerulean trench]

yeah im gonna move onto some other basic sheet organization for now, but thats stuff i can figure out when my brain is a bit more awake

working on organizing the skills now.

[cerulean trench]

ok so now im running into my radio buttons for skills not being clickable effectively

so ill click one & sometimes it will select the one i clicked, but other times will just jump the selected one to another

[sinful spade]

I think that may have something to do with your radio key values

But I'm not sure, check for errors in the console

[cerulean trench]

that fixed it! the left hand side ones had it set to 0 vs the others just being blank

the way the game works this is really useful to have them laid out like this, because every skill comes with an untrained penalty. so these are the defaults if someone doesnt buy a skill up

[sinful spade]

I may have to look into that system at some point, it looks interesting

[cerulean trench]

oh its alot of fun. its In Nomine by steve jackson games. same people who made gurps. you basically play angels & demons good omens style.

[oblique willow]

How would I make a roll label set initiative for that token?

[oblique gyro]

hey gang - I did my first session in CSB yesterday and ran into an issue where some actors' health and other resources were uneditable outside of their character sheets, like as values attached to their tokens. This even applied to me as GM. Any idea what's going on and how to fix it? You can see in the screenshots that the one on the left has the text for their health and other resource greyed out and uneditable, but the enemy on the right's health is editable.

[manic crypt]

It would have to be through a script, initiative is handled through Foundry's interface normally, so its not a set function of the sheet. A way to do it could be to find a macro that does just that, then use that text along with some csb formulas to set the values it's looking for from the sheet. Encompass it all in a ${#%{}%}$ and it'll happen invisibly on the roll label. It's not something I've personally already done though, so outside that theoretic direction I dont have any hard examples.

[olive trellis]

hey i have a quick question i created a dynamic table for armor locations i want to sum up the armor value of all rows that have the specific locations checkbox ticked if the checkbox is not ticked it should just add 0 how would i do that? what i have so far is this for the head for example:

${(sum(find('armor', 'head') ? lookup('armor', 'av') : 0))}$

the problem is it adds the value of all rows even if just one checkbox is ticked

[broken pumice]

Assuming the checkbox is in the same Dynamic Table as the value you want to add. You could try something like sum(lookup('dynamic_table_name', 'column_name_where_the_value_is', 'column_name_of_the_checkbox', true))

[olive trellis]

jeah it is i*ll try

now it prints an error in the label

${sum(lookup('armor', 'av', 'head', true))}$

nevermind had a typo

sorry XD

thank you so much

[broken pumice]

You are welcomed 🙂

[formal goblet]

It depends on how your Attribute Bars are set up, because there are also read-only Bars

[oblique gyro]

I think I figured out the issue - the ones that I can edit are essentially custom values, while the uneditable ones use a health attribute bar that's based on their max and current health values, which are established directly from their sheet. What would you recommend I do to make a functional HP attribute bar that directly ties to both a character's current_hp and max_hp variables? As far as I can tell, I can't tie a bar to two variables at once.

[formal goblet]

The current value cannot be a variable and editable at the same time. They just eliminate each other

[oblique gyro]

Sure, okay. So essentially I won't be able to have a character's HP on their sheet? It'll just have to be an attribute bar and that's it?

Assuming I want the bar's values themselves to be editable on the token rather than having to open the character sheet to edit them, I mean.

[formal goblet]

If you define a Numer Field with a max-value, it should automatically create an editable Attribute Bar, which only needs to be selected from the Token

[oblique gyro]

Perfect! I literally just realized it as you sent the message. Thanks a ton!

[velvet heron]

Is there a method to get one Dynamic Table to show as 2 columns? I can't think of any shortcuts to make it happen, figured I'd ask here.

[formal goblet]

wdym?

[velvet heron]

This table is quite long as 1 column, but there is enough space to its right to have it show as 2 columns, half where it is now, and the latter half continuing at the right of it.

Kind of like so:

[formal goblet]

I see. Not that I know though

[velvet heron]

Hm, very well. Thanks.

I had tried adding additional columns and naming them the same (e.g, 2 checkbox keys), but CSB really didn't like that. It would display correctly, but if I tried ticking any of the boxes, it would select everything.

I will keep it as is.

Related: I haven't been keeping up with CSB lately, but is it yet possible to have a table with, say, 3 columns display a component across more than 1 column?

For instance, column 1 would be one component like a Label, and columns 2+3 have another component, maybe a table or whatever.

[sinful spade]

You can just make a second table, no?

[manic crypt]

He might be doing an operation on the column, like a lookup()

[velvet heron]

I could, but I have another section that references ticked checkboxes.

[velvet heron]

Precisely

[manic crypt]

That COULD be less efficiently done with individual checks, (I did it recently) but it's not very pretty, code-wise.

[velvet heron]

I'm already not great with the coding aspect of it, I'd prefer to keep it as simple as I can.

[manic crypt]

if(${equalText(WepTypSel,"BW")}$){
if(${equalText(BWBV,"inf")?true:BWBV>1?true:false}$){let BV = '${concat("BV",${BWBV}$)}$';WepTyp.push(BV)};
if(${BWWU>=1?true:false}$){let WU = '${concat("WU ",BWWU)}$';WepTyp.push(WU)};
if(${not(equalText(BWWiA,"None"))}$){let WiA = '${concat("WA ","${BWWiA}$")}$';WepTyp.push(WiA)};
if(${BWAMiss}$){WepTyp.push("AMiss")};
if(${BWVAMiss}$){WepTyp.push("Var. AMiss")};
if(${BWAPers}$){WepTyp.push("APers")};
if(${BWVAPers}$){WepTyp.push("Var. APers")};
if(${BWAllPur}$){WepTyp.push("All Purpose")};
if(${BWFrag}$){WepTyp.push("Fragile")};
if(${BWMega}$){WepTyp.push("Mega-Beam")};
if(${BWHydro}$){WepTyp.push("Hydro")};
if(${BWDisr}$){WepTyp.push("Disrupter")};
return WepTyp;}%```

Spits out an array of the various selected checkboxes, when they're checked.

They're contained as individual checkboxes on the sheet, which allows them to be moved around.

[velvet heron]

That could work, but I'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze.

[sinful spade]

You could also double up the lookup with the and, or functions

Or if you're looking for css solutions, you can just add a max height to the table and a scroll bar

[velvet heron]

It's fine, I can keep it as-is and just reorient the visual formatting.

[manic crypt]

Relative to this question, no, it's not.

[velvet heron]

I didn't think so, but thank you.

[manic crypt]

Unless CSS can make a div overwrite a following div, Scy?

[sinful spade]

Not sure why you'd do it that way, you could just make two columns and make the second column twice as wide? Same effect no?

You can't necessarily overwrite a div in css, but you can use pseudo selectors so select where things should be in a hypothetical div?

Like row 1 row 2... Row 3 doesn't exist but
Row-2::after

[velvet heron]

No because 1. resizing the window screws that up, and 2. there is no way of setting a specific width. There is only the guesswork of "Tiny" > "Gigantic"

[sinful spade]

Resizing the window screws up a wider column taking the same space as 2 columns?

Side note, you can set specific width with css, the csb just gives you quick access to predetermined values for ease.

[velvet heron]

From what I've tried, yes.

[sinful spade]

Heck, their 'grid panels' are just basic bootstrap principles, you can just manually change the values and what not.. I have several '2 grid panels' where it's split 70% 30% not 50/50

[velvet heron]

In case it isn't clear, this is what I'm talking about. Blue is a 3 column table, orange are two components where one takes up one column and the other takes up 2.

[sinful spade]

So you're not even using rows

[velvet heron]

No, just columns

[sinful spade]

Then don't use a table, use a panel and set the width

Make it 70/30 instead of 50/50

[velvet heron]

How? Setting a panel with X columns still doesn't allow you to have something take up more than its column

[sinful spade]

Actually depending on what comments you're putting in there, you could just do a horizontal panel and let the components figure their own spacing out

[velvet heron]

Please show me, I'm not sure it's possible

[sinful spade]

You'll need to specify it in css.
Do a grid of 2 columns

Do you have a css file?

[velvet heron]

Yeah

[sinful spade]

Give the panel a class

Let me open my css file one sec I'll give you the code e

[formal goblet]

Probably something similar as this: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/grid-row

[sinful spade]

^ pretty much

[velvet heron]

Cool, thanks much. Cheers

[sinful spade]

except that's tailwind, never used it so -- does it work in standard css or csb limits?

[formal goblet]

No, but the normal style attributes are also listed there, so you can just map them

[sinful spade]

        grid-template-columns: 75% 25% !important;
        gap: 0px;
    }

[sinful spade]

had to go digging for what class it was haha

[sinful spade]

@velvet heron this is exactly what you need, just replace the class to whatever class you give you panel and cahnge 75/25 to whatever values work for you.

the gap controls your 'grid margins'

[velvet heron]

I will give it a shot.

[sinful spade]

pretty much how i've been using bootstrap haha

anyway Teld, it seems that using a dynamic table for your list is what's limiting you in terms of horizontal spacing. Why not use a regular table with 4 columns? or even just 2 columns with a panel in every cell that contains the checkbox and label?

I hear that you want to use lookup functions but not sure how using a bunch of sameRows is better than just checking the value of the checkboxes

[velvet heron]

I need to have an extra option to manually type something in which necessitates the dynamic table over a regular one

Which.. I suppose could be possible now that I think of it

[sinful spade]

So the way I've handled that is, max-height tables with scroll bars that only the GM can see... the players just see the resulting list of everything that applies usually.

[velvet heron]

Oh, that's already exactly how I have it. the dropdown list/dynamic table is only for the GM to select. The players will only see the selections. I was just trying to make it nicer for the GM haha

[sinful spade]

very fair

the names are just for testing purposes 😭 dont judge

[velvet heron]

Hey @formal goblet , how many steps can a template's undo button go back? Is there a hard limit before it can't undo any more or does something else?

[formal goblet]

I think it was 10 steps in either side

[velvet heron]

Hrm, okay. Thanks

[rocky sable]

I do this all the time.
Create a panel of three columns
Create two panels within that panel.
Set one to span 2 'columns'
So if you want it like in your diagram, set the second panel to 'span 2'

To do this, give the right panel a class name (I use 'snarlyright' in this example).
In your CSS file, add this:
.snarlyright {grid-column: 2 / span 2;}

Hello guys, I would like to know if you had any YouTube tutorial videos to recommend For someone trying to learn how to use CSB ?

[austere lava]

How can you catch an 'ERROR' and/or replace it with a '0'?

[manic crypt]

fallback() could work for that, depending on the error.

[austere lava]

Ty that seems to have got it to work.

[sinful spade]

there's a very old and outdated one... so probably best not to use it

[sinful spade]

real quick, i'm trying to get an item filter to work based on names containing a partial string -- anyone have any ideas?

not even
equalText(item.name, 'sword')
is working

[manic crypt]

I have a thought, but let me try it out first and get back to you.

What's your desired use? A lookup?

[sinful spade]

nah, item displayer filter

i'd love to get all items with 'sword' in their name ideally

[manic crypt]

Ah, right. You said that.

I'm thinking something with compareText() might work for it, but I want to see what the output looks like.

[sinful spade]

is that not the same as CSB's equalText?

[manic crypt]

nope.

and it's math.js's equalText(), they're both from that library.

And.. nope, that's a miss.

same output for 'Mace' as for 'Sword, Long' from its perspective (compared against 'sword')

It could be done more indirectly with a script, but I don't know that's what you're after.

[sinful spade]

haha it's okay, totally unecessary

thanks for looking out tho

[manic crypt]

it's sort of frustrating, tbh. Like if it would just look at a script form, something like %{let text = "${item.name}$";let result = text.toLowerCase().includes("sword"); return result;}% should return true, but it doesn't seem to want to nest the formula delimiters.

[frosty niche]

Aha! I did it!
I looked at the actual HTML for the item reference, copied it over, and stripped out anything that didn't look important and didn't make it break when it was removed.
<a class="content-link" draggable="true" data-link="" data-uuid="${sameRow('AdvancementUuid')}$"><i class="fas fa-suitcase"></i>${fetchFromUuid(sameRow('AdvancementUuid'), 'name')}$</a> This, in a label, works.

[manic crypt]

Sometimes I can't leave well enough alone. I got it working, with two caveats that make it a bit sub-optimal. The first is that you need to create a checker label on each item template. The second is that the code is for exactly one item displayer that can be filtered. The result though, looks like this:

[sinful spade]

Nice!
I figured it'd be helpful to players to be able to sort their invi by 'swords' and 'bows' for example

[manic crypt]

The code on the item (key = itemFilterMatch) is: %{let text = "${name}$";let result = text.includes("${fetchFromParent('filterValue')}$");return result;}%

And then the filter config is just:

itemFilterMatch is the code on the item.

well.. it doesn't SORT them, it just hides anything that doesn't match the filter. And it's limited to one filter, so having multiple ID's with their own filters won't work for it. It's not a perfect solution.

but if you blank the filter it does show all the items.

[sinful spade]

god you're beautiful 😂
i'll be snagging that and making it beautiful soon

[manic crypt]

What does the final outcome look like?

[frosty niche]

GM Side:

Player side:

Items can be clicked and dragged into sheets without removing them, and it doesn't create any item embeds.

Wish the item references in the description labels worked, though.

[manic crypt]

Those links only work in chat cards, journal entries, and RTAs, unfortunately.

Looks really nice though, congrats on overcoming!

[sinful spade]

Hey still want that YT tutorial?

[empty osprey]

Ho ok, thk's for the warning :D

[sinful spade]

you're like the 10th person i've seen in here askin

[empty osprey]

HO YO

Thk's lad

[sinful spade]

yt upload times probably mean check back in a few hours

and it's not comprehensive or anything, just a strong set on the basics - most middle level stuff. didnt cover csb functions or anything. that's for a later date.

[empty osprey]

I've been browsing the wiki for six hours, but a video really helps !

And the basics are already good; this is stil a good starting point !

[sinful spade]

I feel you --
Even when i was still in school i struggled to read documentation

I'd always setup my pdfs in a reader and tolerate the awful ai voice before i read anything lol

I think this'll get you pretty dang far. Some to be desired with dynamic tables - mostly because i avoided getting into csb functions and what not.

at least, i think this'll get you far enough that you're in here asking the right questions while i work on another video if there's demand for it

[hard cedar]

Hi HWhat is the old command fetchfromdymanictable command been replaced with, as I am getting errors.

[manic crypt]

lookup(), or find() for single values.

[empty osprey]

Thk's again dude, realy, you just spared me so much headhache on brute forcing the system tu understand how to use CSB.

You's the GOAT.

[lethal rover]

Heyo, been a couple of days. Wondering if there was anyone who could help me with this one! 🙏

[manic crypt]

Can you give a little more context? Generally you can't use rolls in anything outside a chat card.

Like if a value in a dt was set to :1d8: it would reroll that every time the sheet refreshed

[lethal rover]

This was my suspicion. I essentially want to set up a way for my players to input the dice they want to roll when using their gear. For example, the damage die for their weapons. I know there is a more sophisticated pathway of creating the items and having things run through there, but I'm currently in the playtesting stage and would rather have a more flexible way of inputting and processing that information.

A.k.a, create text box for players to put 1d6 + 2, click a button and it rolls that out.

This is how I have it set up currently.

Managed to get everything else working other than the rolling of the damage die.

[manic crypt]

OH, that's much simpler. You want to take the text of the Damage Die field and have it roll that. Not what I was thinking at all.

[manic crypt]

and this is your actual formula?

${sameRow('WEAPONNAME')}$ : ${sameRow('DAMAGEDIE') + ref(sameRow('WEAPONABILITY'))}$ ${sameRow('DAMAGETYPE')}$ ?

And what you're looking for is the text output line, right? So you'd like to have a text output that says "Sword : 1d6 + 1 Slashing", correct? You have the rolling part covered?

or do you need the whole damage roll handled too?

[lethal rover]

Yes, that's precisely it.

[lethal rover]

Yes this is what I'm using right now.

[lethal rover]

I need the damage part handled.

[manic crypt]

Working on an example for you to go off, essentially you're not rolling anything there. One sec and I'll be done and then you can edit it however you like 🙂

[lethal rover]

This is how it currently outputs for reference.

Happy with the top row, need the error section to roll the dice from the text box.

[lethal rover]

https://tenor.com/view/keyaan-john-wick-keanu-reeves-gif-2384046765437701795

[formal goblet]

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

[lethal rover]

https://tenor.com/view/im-an-idiot-elmo-shrugs-gif-6160087

The reality being I actually had it like that before makes me very upset.

[manic crypt]

That's what I was getting at as far as "not actually rolling anything."

Here's what I was going to show you:

${#modifier:= sameRow('WEAPONABILITYMOD')}$
${#type:= sameRow('DAMAGETYPE'}$

Weapon Damage for ${sameRow('WEAPONNAME')}$ : ${[:damage:]+modifier}$ (${type}$)```

I did guess about the key for the Ability Modifier, so fix that if it's something else.

[lethal rover]

https://tenor.com/view/bom-dia-gif-6310978131392294407

This is all perfect.

Got it rolling how I want it now.

[sinful spade]

💪 glad it got you started.
Did we miss anything you ended up needing? I'll need to write a list for the second part if I ever get around to it haha

[humble geyser]

How do I show a custom stat on a character sheet in a Rich Text Field

Cause I know that when I drag and drop an item or chacater into the Rich Text Field it show as this: @UUID[Actor.8GnUu61ZlIiJcJ2z]{Talion v2}

So how do I get it to recall a Label that has the key of CON

[sinful spade]

Outside of the actor, right?

[humble geyser]

inside

[sinful spade]

fetchFromActor('John', "Strength")

Oh, inside the same sheet? Just reference it normally

${CON}$

[humble geyser]

Tried that, doesn't work inside of a rich text field

like nothing seems to work

[sinful spade]

Honestly I never use rich text areas, since there's no premission to stop editing.

You can try to be more explicit with ref() but I don't think it'll help.
You may just need to use a regular label with inline styling

[humble geyser]

I just want my players to be able to take notes about there characters here, and be able to make it where it can auto recall a stat in said notes, so it will change as they lvl it

[sinful spade]

Hmm... You could put a stats area above the rta...

You could also try playing with the escape quotes function to see if it lets anything through

[humble geyser]

nope, didn't work either

damn

[sinful spade]

yeah i think you're stuck with a stat section somewhere either above, to the side, or below the rich text area.

[sinful spade]

you could try a journal which should support both... Give them a link to their journal page they have control to edit in their sheet.

[humble geyser]

Yeah, I would have to do that as a work around.

[formal goblet]

RTAs don't resolve Formulas

[manic crypt]

Would an enricher-like system be a feasible feature request? I see that there's a mod (MoreJournalEnrichers) that lets you set a variable enricher with key, which I assume (I haven't played with it yet to be sure) can be tied to a document value. I can see how an additional system of delimiters would be confusing for some people though.

[cursive heron]

Hi everyone. I will inevitably be back with questions later, but for now I wanted to say CSB helped me complete NaGaDeMon (National Game Design Month) last year in November and I just wanted to drop in and say thank you for giving me the tools to do that and run my game in Foundry.

[raven raven]

Hi, is there any way to present the current status of a charcter that I choose from a dropdown menu on the character sheet at the token... so i mean like a health bar.... but with text.... it would say, wounded, blodied, dyeing, dead?

[formal goblet]

Nope, not with CSB itself.

[proven lily]

hey so i am wanting to trry and use the UESRPG 3e (the unofficial elder scrolls RPG) and im wondering if this system would be a good base for it?

[hard cedar]

Thanks for this. Has worked 🙂

Another question. The character templates seem to be getting larger due to template history being stored in them. This seems to make the actors and world slow to load. Is there an easy way to remove this besides editing the Jason file?

"Json" file

[manic crypt]

Its been a while since I looked at it, but overall this is a good system for just about anything if you're willing to put in the work. However, there's a system for uesrpg available in Foundry, have you looked at that?

[bleak marsh]

[elfin lark]

I got to come here for help again. Cant for the life of me figure out how to get the desired result.

${roll > [:Skill_Aim:]? 'Failure' : 'Success'}$

${roll > fetchFromActor('target','Exploit', 20)? 'Exploited' : 'No Complications'}$```

I want to change this so that the ```${roll > fetchFromActor('target','Exploit', 20)? 'Exploited' : 'No Complications'}$``` only activates if there is a targeted token with an Exploit variable

[formal goblet]

<span style="display: ${!fetchFromActor('target', 'Exploit') ? 'inline' : 'none'}$">Your Content</span>

[elfin lark]

<span style="display: ${!fetchFromActor('target', 'Exploit') ? 'inline' : 'none'}$">

This at least isnt working?

[formal goblet]

> -> >

[elfin lark]

uh... what?

[formal goblet]

Check your formulas again. Your > got converted

[elfin lark]

ah okay, thank you

[cerulean adder]

Is there a way to get a button to appear in the chat box to activate a different roll? Like if I do an attack roll from the sheet can I get it to create a damage roll that you can use in the chat box? Is there an example?

[bleak marsh]

It's not a full blown button (looks like a link) but I managed it with this (which is the foundry chat commands)
Hello, [[/r 3d10]]

it gets you this

I imagine you could replace the dice text with a specific formula too, as long as it results in the standard dice format "[number]d[sides]"

[bleak marsh]

oh, the button's kinda easy actually (in this example I connected one to a chat macro to test it, and one for just a roll formula)

[cerulean adder]

Thank you! That worked for me!

[cerulean adder]

Is there a way to rename the button? I tried <button name="Roll Damage"> but it displayed the actual formula instead of the name

[bleak marsh]

I don't know if you can do it with just the roll command... you can do
<button>Roll Damage [[/r 3d10]]</button>
and that would say "Roll Damage 3d10" on it , but I don't know about replacing the roll text...

Here's the chat commands page
https://foundryvtt.wiki/en/basics/Chat

[sinful spade]

I'm bored and too lazy to work on my own sheet right now - system design road block.
Anyone need any help with anything?

[cerulean adder]

Okay thank you! I can live with this!

[cerulean adder]

Do you have anything that deals damage to a token? I have damage rolls and attack rolls automated but I haven't done anything to decrement health.

[sinful spade]

I don't -- Shadoghast was working on something for that tho.
It'd require javascript

[cerulean adder]

I'll start trying to tackle that! Thanks! If shadoghast reads this an example will help go a long way!

[formal goblet]

Does it require to adjust the stats of a Token the player doesn't own?

[cerulean adder]

I don't think so. I'd have either the GM or the player that owns the token to use it

The system is kind of big and clunky and each body part has AC and Health so it would speed up combat a LOT to be able to apply that with a tool.

[formal goblet]

Then you can just use setPropertyInEntity() from the sheet or actor.update() in a script.

[cerulean adder]

Perfect! I'll see what I can get cooking!

[velvet heron]

If an item placed in an actor sheet contains a dropdown list (only numbers), the sheet should still display the dropdown selection if there is a label on the sheet referencing that, no? I keep getting an error.

Actually, it appears it still displays ERROR even on a brand new actor with no items on it, so it must be a wrong formula.

[manic crypt]

That doesn't look like an item displayer, you have to be using one to use the item.key format. If it is, sorry, just my observation from the pic.

[velvet heron]

Correct, it's not an item displayer. I removed item. from the formula and at least now the sheet shows blank, no error, but still does not show the value I'm looking for.

Welp, part of my issue was that I was looking at the wrong component, so wrong key. DERP. Corrected that but still blank readout.

Here is the item (middle), the item template (right), and the dropdown component w/ key.

So if the character sheet contains this item, then what formula should I be using for a label on the actor's sheet referencing this item key?

[frosty niche]

Is there a way to check if an item has a parent?

And on a less specific note, is there a standard way to mark where a particular item is? Eg equipped, dropped, specific bag...

[manic crypt]

The easy way to get it on a sheet is to have the reference in an item displayer, then pull it from that. The item displayer can have the item.key format, and then you can use first(lookup()) or find() to pull it from the item displayer. The alternative is that you have to use a fixed fetchFromUuid().

[manic crypt]

isNull(fetchFromParent('name'))?

[frosty niche]

Doesn't seem to work.

Neither does isNull(parent)

isNull isn't defined.

[manic crypt]

There should be something like that from the math.js library, one sec.

${equalText(typeOf(fetchFromParent('name'),"null")?"no parent":"parent exists"}$

I was clearly adding functions to math.js in my head again.

[frosty niche]

Seems like it always returns false.

[cerulean adder]

If you call a function in a chat bubble can you pass values to it? So if I roll 1d6+5 damage can I pass that value to the funtion to know what to subtract?

chat log I mean

[frosty niche]

${[${RollFormula}$-Penalty]}$

[cerulean adder]

Right, so I'm doing most of the Attack and Damage rolls in the character sheet. They then appear in the chat and I can create a button to roll the damage right in the chat so I don't have to go back to the sheet to roll damage. Now I'd like to pass that damage value to a script so I can select an actor and have the script decrease their health. Is that possible?

[frosty niche]

I don't know about that exact sequence of events, but there should be away to get the current targeted actor.

[cerulean adder]

I'm using this to get the AC so I'm sure I can grab the Actor ID.

{#targetAC:=fetchFromActor('target',bodyValue,'99')}$

But I'm just going to have the GM select the token and have them decrease the HP. The real issue I'm having is how to pass the damage to the script

[frosty niche]

@cerulean adder You said you put a button in the chat message? How'd you do that?

[cerulean adder]

Oh, I just wrapped it in <button>. I wasn't able to change the display of it though

 <button name="Roll Damage">
[[/r ${!item.damage}$+${!strengthDamageBonus}$]]
</button>

</span>```

[frosty niche]

Looks like you don't need to wrap it in a button.

[sinful spade]

you'll need to give it a class and style it in css.

[velvet heron]

You're right. An item displayer was the correct choice. I'm just confused about how the item filter formula works, even after reading the directions about it on gitlab. It says The Item Displayer will only display those Items, for which the Formula resolves to true.

But does this mean if the filter formula resolves to true, it will display the item in the container, or will it just display the value for the filter formula? Because it appears to be the former, but the wording makes me think the latter.

[manic crypt]

It's the former. You type in a formula in the filter that has a boolean result (true/false or 1/0) without the normal ${}$ delimiters, and if the formula, from the Actor's perspective (meaning that if you're looking at keys on the item they have to be worded as item.key) resolves to true, the item appears.

[velvet heron]

Bet. Now, if I only have the one label column inside this item displayer for the value I'm looking for - which does display correctly - how can I make just the value appear and not show the boxed item name?

[manic crypt]

I wasn't in front of my computer then, and I'm awful at coding when I can't type and see what I'm doing wrong, so I probably jacked something in the code there. Did you get it working?

On a related note, any item without a parent of some kind (either an Actor or a parent item in the case of item-in-item) can't really interact with anything, what are you trying to make happen?

[manic crypt]

That's a CSS thing. You need to change how the item is displayed in the div. Not my area of knowledge, really, but @sinful spade can probably walk you through it. Essentially I think you just go in and define that specific item displayer's div, then set up how the items in it are shown, but that's likely a gross oversimplification.

[frosty niche]

Hide a field that's only relevant when you have the item in your inventory.

Unless you know a better way to store metadata about items on the sheet.

[sinful spade]

Lmk if you need help.

[sinful spade]

You can have the item property to change a hidden label to +1 and use that to change a visibility formula in the panel that you want to toggle

[twin goblet]

hello guys,

i have a problem with weapon damage.
i entered the damage as two data (string and number):
base dice count ${item.Weapon_Damage}$ - e.g. 2d6 and a calculated modifier (number), which can be + and -
there is no problem with the - value, because it is stored with a sign.
but i can't insert the + value. everything works fine separately, but not together.

The calculated modifier (this is in one of the lines of an item displayer):
${item.Weapon_Level == 0 ? item.Weapon_Damage_Mod+(item.Weapon_Type == 1 ? Strength_Damage : 0)+(lookup('Weapon', 'Weapon_DamageMod', 'Weapon_Level', '${(item.Weapon_Level)}$')) : item.Weapon_Level == 1 ? item.Weapon_damage_mod+(item.Weapon_Type == 1 ? Strength_Damage : 0)+(lookup('Weapon', 'Weapon_Damage_mod', 'Weapon_Level', '${(item.Weapon_Level)}$')) : item.Weapon_damage_mod+(item.Weapon_Type == 1 ? Strength_Damage : 0)+(lookup('Weapon', 'Weapon_Damage_mod', 'Weapon_Level', '${(item.Weapon_Level)}$'))}$

So what I was able to achieve was to insert the line ${item.Weapon_Damage}$ into the label prefix.
I inserted the calculated modifier into the label suffix.
The result is that e.g. it calculates and displays the value 2d6-1 correctly, but instead of the value 2d6+1 it displays 2d61. Skips the + symbol for positive numbers - which would normally not be a problem.
I tried to enter a condition like this in the label:

`${#DamageModNumber:=[${item.Weapon_Level == 0 ? item.Weapon_Damage_Mod+(item.Weapon_Type == 1 ? Strength_Damage : 0)+(lookup('Weapon', 'Weapon_Damage_Mod', 'Weapon_Level', '${(item.Weapon_Level)}$')) : item.Weapon_Level == 1 ? item.Weapon_damage_mod+(item.Weapon_Type == 1 ? Strength_Damage : 0)+(lookup('Weapon', 'Weapon_Damage_mod', 'Weapon_Level', '${(item.Weapon_Level)}$')) : item.Weapon_damage_mod+(item.Weapon_Type == 1 ? Strength_Damage : 0)+(lookup('Weapon', 'Weapon_Damage_mod', 'Weapon_Level', '${(item.Weapon_Level)}$'))}$]}$

${DamageModNumber > 0 ? '+' : ' '}$
`

this works by itself, but... the result will be e.g. 1+, because I do the analysis at the end, and I don't know how to hide the calculation before it, or change the order.

If anyone has any insight or solution, I'd love to read it.

[formal goblet]

Why do you even use nested Formulas? I see no need for that.

You could try out, if 2d6+-1 works as a Roll Formula. If so, your issue should be gone

[twin goblet]

oh, thank you! It took me a while to figure out what you meant, but I got it and it works! 👍

[velvet heron]

PM sent

[sinful spade]

^ Solved 🙂

[sinful spade]

and you solved the + not showing up as well, right?

[cerulean adder]

Okay, I was able to get a script going that allows the user to input the damage, select the body part targeted, and input how much to modify AC by. It works great but I was wondering if there was a way to pass results from a sheet roll to the script? Instead of inputting damage and all that would be awesome to click a button and have all of this information autofill and apply it to the selected token.

[sinful spade]

Has anyone sorted Dynamic Party Sheets yet?
Had all sorts of ideas to get a sheet where i could drag actors onto it like an item displayer but just realized that I cant actually do that lol

I could put an item in all character sheets that reference their stats, but then how do i real time clone those to a mirror item in the party sheet

[manic crypt]

A DT that has a "Name" text entry field that then looks up the Actors and Uuids by that name and uses their uuid to import their information? It could even set values if it's a GM-only sheet.

[sinful spade]

I was thinking about that, i may be able to
fetchFromActor(sameRow())

that'd let me get most of their important stats, not nearly as convient as just a dragdrop actor dispalyer

but it's doable

[manic crypt]

It would only need to be set up once.

[sinful spade]

i meant less convenient since it'd be based on actor name (MAYBE UUID) but if player changes the name, even accidentily since it's a big editable bar at the top... it'd break

idk how spaces interact with the name field

may cause issues in diagnosis

[manic crypt]

I've never had a player accidentally change their name lol.

[sinful spade]

🤷 i plan for worst case senario. play players sent me on a 15m bug hunt because the info they entered int he character creator wasnt shown on their actual sheet.... they never hit save on the rich text areas

they're not computer-y people

honestly a part of me is worried about my stats being dynamic tables for the same reason

one errant click and space into the name field? oops there go all my refs

Maybe i'll hide the input and show a ref label there lmao

[manic crypt]

That's going to be an issue you just have, unless you have the whole sheet locked down with a checkbox to allow editing.

[sinful spade]

yeep.

at least on critical areas (referenced names etc)

[sinful spade]

I wonder if there's a way to auto populate a drop down with all existing actors

[manic crypt]

ALL the actors? You could write a script that selects all the actors that are controlled by players and then populate it with that.

Nah, all actors. No reason to not have npcs included if they have hirings or what not

Probably a case of using a formula that gets all actors using a given template plus another template (players vs npcs)

The + symbol was fine in the end. I simply added it to the label prefix 😄
you can see the result in the picture, and the code behind it looks like this (ugly, but it works):

label prefix:
${item.Weapon_Damage}$+

label suffix:
${item.Weapon_Level == 0 ? item.Weapon_Damage_Mod+(item.Weapon_Type == 1 ? Strength_Damage : 0)+(lookup('Weapon', 'Weapon_DamageMod', 'Weapon_Level', '${(item.Weapon_Level)}$')) : item.Weapon_Level == 1 ? item.Weapon_Damage_Mod+(item.Weapon_Type == 1 ? Strength_Damage : 0)+(lookup('Weapon', 'Weapon_DamageMod', 'Weapon_Level', '${(item.Weapon_Level)}$')) : item.Weapon_Damage_Mod+(item.Weapon_Type == 1 ? Strength_Damage : 0)+(lookup('Weapon', 'Weapon_DamageMod', 'Weapon_Level', '${(item.Weapon_Level)}$'))}$

label icon:
dice

dice code:
${item.WeaponName}$ damage: ${[:item.Weapon_Damage:+:${item.Weapon_Level == 0 ? item.Weapon_Damage_Mod+(item.Weapon_Type == 1 ? Strength_Damage : 0)+(lookup('Weapon', 'Weapon_DamageMod', 'Weapon_Level', '${(item.Weapon_Level)}$')) : item.Weapon_Level == 1 ? item.Weapon_Damage_Mod+(item.Weapon_Type == 1 ? Strength_Damage : 0)+(lookup('Weapon', 'Weapon_Damage_Mod', 'Weapon_Level', '${(item.Weapon_Level)}$')) : item.Weapon_Damage_Mod+(item.Weapon_Type == 1 ? Strength_Damage : 0)+(lookup('Weapon', 'Weapon_Damage_Mod', 'Weapon_Level', '${(item.Weapon_Level)}$'))}$:]}$

I did the same thing at one point.
you can also force CSB to recognize the + as a string with either

• '+'
• }$ + ${
• or string('+')

Thank you, it's always good to learn something new. It could definitely be coded better and more beautifully, but I only started getting to know it a week or two ago. Special thanks for your YouTube video - I learned/am learning a lot from it.

[sinful spade]

Glad it helped!

there's a steep learning curve to csb but it's a godsend

[formal goblet]

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

[sinful spade]

Custom System Builder | missing name after . operator SyntaxError: missing name after . operator

I tried
actor.name!isTemplate

still no shabang

[formal goblet]

oops, wrong position of !. Try it again

[sinful spade]

! A charm!

Thanks martin!

Cannot get a button to roll with my Strength mod following your tutorial @sinful spade and I cannot figure out what I've done differently from what you demonstrated.

It's literally just this and I've double checked that it's making the right reference to the component key... There's so little here idk how I'm screwing it up?
${[!1d20]+STRmod}$

[sinful spade]

nvm, just tested the ! does indeed go inside the bracket.
are there any errors in console?

[cursive heron]

I get one about a minimum screen resolution, but I don't feel like that would matter. I don't see any other errors.

oh wait, duh. Yeah there is, I forgot I refreshed.

[sinful spade]

You've included text inside the strmod label, it needs to only be a number. If you'd like it to have words before the number include them in the prefix or suffix 💪

[cursive heron]

Ah it's trying to convert the whole label, not just the number part.

Yeah, I get it now. Lesson learned, look at error logs.

[sinful spade]

😂 all good, martin caught me slacking too many times for me to shame you

[cursive heron]

Thank you so much. For the tutorial and helping me out.

[sinful spade]

No problem, happy building!

[sinful spade]

Martin, i've got a function that's working fine as a label but when added to a meter is errors out. no error in console?

${fetchFromActor(find('memberList',  'actorDropdown', 'tableIndex', 1, '=='), 'healthCurrent')}$

when placed in a label it outputs: 6

in a meter it comes back as just 'error'

[cerulean adder]

Thank you so much! That's exactly what I was looking for! I'm a bit burnt out with all the changes I've made this week but the next time I get the hankering for tinkering I will absolutely dive head first into this guy! Thank you!

[velvet heron]

Do Panel titles allow for formulas or fontawesome icons?

[velvet heron]

Second question. It looks like the timing of the mouseover tooltip for components is about 1 second, is it possible to change it to be faster/instant?

[manic crypt]

No. Look for the $ symbol for where you can use formulae. You can't in titles.

[velvet heron]

Shame. Thanks, still.

[manic crypt]

I don't remember if there's a delay baked into the base CSB code, but you would have to edit the system files to change it.

[velvet heron]

Ahh, no thanks, heh.

[velvet heron]

I feel like this might be possible, but I'm not smart enough to figure out the coding part of it.

If I have two checkboxes, can I get it so that if one checkbox is ticked, the other becomes untickable somehow, and vice versa?

[manic crypt]

That's how Radio Buttons work

[velvet heron]

I realize that, but once you select a radio button, it remains permanently selected until you select another one. I also need to be able to deselect a radio button, which AFAICR, is not currently possible.

[manic crypt]

Make a third button with "None"

[velvet heron]

Damn, that's one of those solutions where I smack my forehead and go, damn that was so simple, how did I not see it?? lol

[sinful spade]

You can hard code a div in a label and do the same thing?

Also if you really want to use check boxes, you can have them set the other ones visibility formula to false. That way if one is checked you can't see (and can't click) the other.

Dunno why you'd want to do it that way, but you 'could'.

[velvet heron]

I don't think that would work when I need the panel to collapse.

[sinful spade]

<details>
<summary>Panel Name Here</summary>
<p>details here</p>
</details>

depends on what you're putting in it i guess, you'd be limited to hard coding the contents within that label as well which'll eat your time.

You could use a label with a collapsible panel right below it.

[label]
[panel]

then css style them to look like it's one element
