Custom System Builder

[velvet heron]

In my use case, I have here two mutually exclusive checkboxes in separate sections of the sheet. The more I thought about it, the more I realized radio buttons wouldn't work here because even if I did turn each checkbox into a set of radio buttons, the interactivity between them I don't think would work with a Y/N/none set for both.

This is a good idea

[sinful spade]

I mean if you wanted to really go a step above

do the checkbox visability thing

but then have a 3rd and 4th box that appear as the 1st or 2nd one disappear... However these arent actually check boxes, they're labels that are styled to look like greyed out checkboxes.

[velvet heron]

I'm not sure I have the kind of time required to do something that fancy

[sinful spade]

1 hour tops

but ok

[velvet heron]

Either way, I wouldn't be able to do it now, about to head to bed lol

[sinful spade]

btw

i just tested

You CAN use HTML in a panel title.

which means you can manually call font awesome through the HTML

[velvet heron]

That's rad!

I suppose css can also solve this issue of panels that are unable to be fixed-width like most other components?

[sinful spade]

yep.

just set min-width AND max-width to the same value

same thing as a fixed width

has anyone got the JS handy for calling an actor's profile picture externally from the sheet?

[manic crypt]

actor.img ?

[sinful spade]

that doesn't specify what actor - also i thought that wasn't supposed to be added till the next version

[manic crypt]

idk, I'm in the 5e system for a game right now, I can check in csb in a sec.

still looks like Actor.<uuid>.img

[sinful spade]

i mean calling
<img src="${Actor.....img}$"> didn't work

[manic crypt]

that path would be a JS path, not CSB.

[sinful spade]

<img src="%{Actor.XCjaWnjDqDiU2Zk0.img}%">

no console error, the img just displays as 'error'

[manic crypt]

doesn't it need to be <img src="%{return Actor.XCjaWnjDqDiU2Zk0.img;}%">

[sinful spade]

Caused by: TypeError: Actor.XCjaWnjDqDiU2Zk0 is undefined
[Detected 1 package: system:custom-system-builder(4.4.2)]

Wouldnt it need a ;?

[manic crypt]

I think so, I just added it before you said that.

[sinful spade]

even with it:
Caused by: TypeError: Actor.XCjaWnjDqDiU2Zk0 is undefined
[Detected 1 package: system:custom-system-builder(4.4.2)]

this js returns the right path in console...
console.log(game.actors.getName("Halivaard")?.img);

but
<img src="%{return game.actors.getName("Halivaard")?.img;}%"> doesnt work

[manic crypt]

could you do it with something more indirect, like return the value into a label then use that as the path?

it seems like I've had this fight before, I'll see if i can find something with it in the morning.

[sinful spade]

${fetchFromActor(find('memberList', 'actorDropdown', 'tableIndex', 1, "=="), 'img')}$ -- no console errors just the label reading error lol

jeez what a use of 4 hours lmfao

[sinful spade]

So weird af

I tried this and kept getthe the label to say error but no console errors

reloading the sheet didnt work etc etc

i shutdown my server and relaunch it... boom.

  const actor = game.actors.getName("Halivaard");
  return actor?.img || "";
}%}$```
finally returned a datapath as a label and i can call that im img src. 
Bless you

[sinful spade]

wtf? i go to reference it later and suddenly functional code errors.
i copy the code, delete the label repaste it, and it works again -- no console errors.

@formal goblet Idek how to begin bugfixing this.
no errors in console.

giving the functioning code a component key causes it to error, restarting the server doesnt help, deleting the label and making a new one doesnt seem to help either.

[formal goblet]

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

[glacial citrus]

Can anyone help me fgure out why the attributes aren't saving on a template? I can name it, put in entries, but after I press 'save' and I go to open it again, it disappears (as if I'd never entered any data).

[formal goblet]

The name must meet the same criteria as Component keys

[glacial citrus]

so it needs to be attributes."x"?

👈🏾 very new to all of this

[formal goblet]

The key can only be composed of letters (upper and lowercase), numbers and underscores

[glacial citrus]

I am a system admin by trade and script with Powershell and SQL, but coding hits different 😄

gotcha

[formal goblet]

PS is good enough to be fair

[manic crypt]

Oh god. Talk about overcomplicating things for ourselves..
<img src="%{const actor = entity.entity; return actor.img || "";}%">

At least now I actually understand what Martin is referring to when he's talking about entity.entity. The thing about it is that to use the entity path at all it MUST be coming from inside a label. So while typing %{console.warn(entity;}% into a label works, typing the same command into a macro that isn't triggered inside a sheet or into the console doesn't. It needs that "from the sheet's perspective" to work.

[formal goblet]

Well, that's what providing context is. CSB provides the context of the triggering entity in all scripts within the sheet. And Foundry provides the context of the selected | players Actor in their Macros if executed manually.

[manic crypt]

Yeah, I've actually been seeing a lot of people with those issues regarding other aspects as well, so it was kind of in my mind when I sat down this morning to work on Scy's thing.

From his purposes though, he's working on pulling the images from other sheets to a dynamic table where he wants to display their image. Is there an external path to entity.entity? So if I'm on an actor named "Test" and want to pull the image path from "Test2", I can't just embed a script in a fetchFromActor(), because the embedded script formula would be executed first from the context of the initiating actor, right? How would you go about that?

[formal goblet]

I'd just use fromUuidSync() or game.actors in the script to fetch the other actor and get whatever data I need

[manic crypt]

That seems to loop me back around to Scy's original thought of ${%{const actor = game.actors.getName("Test");return actor.img || "";}%}$ which returns the template's image instead of the character's image.

how do I set the context in that script?

[formal goblet]

Then don't use the name of the Template 😅

[manic crypt]

That isn't the template, the template is _Character

[formal goblet]

Template and Character are technically both Actors in Foundrys world

game.actors.getName('Test') retrieves the data of the Actor with the name Test from the game directory.

[manic crypt]

On the Test sheet, using the formulae shown in image 1, I get these two results (image 2):

The first one is showing the image that's currently assigned to 'Test', using the entity.entity method, while the second should be calling the same image but externally, instead it's pulling the mystery-man image from the template?

[formal goblet]

Check the console what the second script returns. You probably have different actors

linked vs. unlinked Actor

[manic crypt]

Yup. That was entirely it. Alles in Ordnung now. It didn't even occur to me that the stuff I'd been doing was all from the character sheet of an unlinked token I'd dropped to make it easier to do a console.log(actor) earlier.

As soon as I updated the sheet it started working exactly right:

So.. @sinful spade in summary of my floundering around this morning, this should help for your DT:

<img src="%{const actor = game.actors.getName("${sameRow('Name')}$");return actor.img || "";}%">

Assuming you're doing that on a dynamic table where the reflected character name is already input from like a dropdown or something.

Also, don't be like me and wind up doing all your testing on an orphaned unlinked token from the canvas.

[glacial citrus]

If I made a table and I want to make a copy of it (so I don't have to recreate it by hand). Is that possible?

[formal goblet]

CTRL + Drag

[glacial citrus]

no way...

[sinful spade]

Dude I appreciate you sinking time into this at all, but I'm going to be honest I have no idea half of what y'all were talking about 😂 linked? Unlinked? To what? Where?

I got a small script working last night that got the path to a label, and I put that in as a reference into the img src which seemed to work.

BUT about that same time my find functions started wigging out. They display errors after working for hours. Turns out if I give any of them componentKeys they turn into an error, and if I don't they seem to eventually convert as well.

@formal goblet showed a page about linked actors on the wiki but I'm not sure how that relates to component keys breaking labels

[manic crypt]

So what's meant by linked is if the token's Actor data is linked back to the Actor in the bin; Most of the time you want a Player Character to be linked, meaning that if they click on the token on the canvas, it opens their sheet, and any updates done there are done on the sheet. By contrast, unlinked tokens are like monsters, where when you drag six copies of it to the canvas you don't want them all to have the same data, you want to have their hp and effects tracked separately. It's an option you can set in the prototype token settings, a foundry-side thing.

So what I was doing, and the reason I wasn't getting the right image, was that I was making all my changes to an unlinked copy of Test that I had dropped on the canvas so it would be easier to mess around with it. That was also the place where I'd selected the image of the skull. So when I was using the script to find the current image of the actor, it was accessing the actor's data, which hadn't been updated with the data from the token.

[velvet heron]

Under a component's Additional CSS classes, if you want to add more than one class, are they separated by a space or a comma?

[formal goblet]

Space

[velvet heron]

If an expandable panel is in the middle of a table, how can I force the other non-panels to remain at the top of their cells when the panel is expanded? It seems the only aligning tools are horizontal, not vertical.

Setting a CSS class using vertical-align: top; does not seem to be working, even when applied to the whole table.

[sinful spade]

So I don't have any token setup, which means it should default to having an unconfirmed token with the hooded figure.

(I've barely done anything outside of the main character sheet at this point, as I don't want to commit to certain details until the maps are done and I can match tokens and attributes to the same style)

But what does the actors token have to do with broken label component keys?

[sinful spade]

Space if you're going a level deeper, comma if you're targeting multiple starting ' points '

.class p
Targets all paragraphs that occur after a class.

.class, p
Targets all occurrences of class and p equally.

.class p, div p
Targets all p under .class or any div

Note that if your structure is
Div span p
Div p will still target it.
Div > p will only target p directly after div.

[manic crypt]

Possibly nothing, they might be unrelated. What do you have that's breaking right now?

[sinful spade]

Just a simple find statment

It works fine without a component key (for a while) but if given one or after a few hours it just decides to display an error with no changes.

[tulip obsidian]

Hello, my template stopped work. Before that a warning that i exceed something had appeared. Would love help on the matter.

Foundry.js:655 Error: An error occurred while rendering TemplateSheet 90. Maximum call stack size exceeded
at Hooks.onError (foundry.js:654:24)
at foundry.js:5795:13

The first is the exported template sheet, and the second the error that appears on the console

[formal goblet]

Then you probably have a faulty Component config in the JSON. What you can do, is trying to find the faulty Component by deleting Components in the JSON and reimporting the Template. Try to start with a big chunk of Components (e.g. a whole Tab) and try to go down in the hirachy when you find the right Tab.

Just make sure, that you revert the changes if you go in the wrong direction

[heavy elm]

Is it possible to assing automatic status effects to tokens via CSB? Like when a value hits 0 like HP the token gets the effect 'Dead'?

[formal goblet]

That must be achieved with world scripts, where you listen for changes in the Actor and apply (and remove!) the status effect when needed

[civic finch]

good evening! how is the initiative formula supposed to be written? 2d6+Total_Init is what I've been using, and it worked just fine in previous versions, but now doesn't add the 2D6

[calm violet]

Hello. Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there any way to give players editing/input permissions for just a few components in an item (Some text boxes and a dropdown box) without giving them Owner role over the whole item? Alternatively, is there a way to give them Owner status over the instance of an item they drag on their sheet but not the core item itself?

[formal goblet]

No owner, no permission to edit at all. Ownership permissions are handled by Foundry alone, we cannot override that

And the owner status is inherited from the root Document, meaning that Actors automatically gain ownership of their own Items

[formal goblet]

[2d6] + Total_Init

Depends on what you want to do with those props. If you just want to list them, then ${propA}$ ${propB}$. If you want to add them together, then you have to use operators or functions: ${propA + propB}$

[floral sequoia]

Yes, I know, but it's not working. I created a roll label inside my weapons Item Displayer. It is supposed to roll a formula like ${numStr + numHitBonus}$. It's not returning anything on the chat

[formal goblet]

You have to differentiate between Roll Formula and a regular Formula. Regular Formulas cannot process expressions like2d10 + 5. 2d10 is simply not a number, thus cannot be added to 5 and throws an error. Roll Formulas on the other hand do know how to process expressions like 2d10.

Regular Formulas are delimited by ${}$ while Roll Formulas are delimited by [] inside of ${}$

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

[floral sequoia]

That's not the point. The rolls are working when I try this. The issue starts when I mention the props inside $$.
In this case, It was supposed to return a number that is a sum between numStr and numHitBonus, but it isn't returning it

[formal goblet]

Then give me more info. What's the error in the console? (F12)

[floral sequoia]

I found the issue. It was the lack of the prefix "item" in the formula for the second prop. I've found a strange error in the console while watching it though:

Logger.js:33 Custom System Builder | No access to property "max" Error: No access to property "max"

It's saying all time that an attribute.max value is returning error.

[formal goblet]

Seems to be the max-value of a Number Field. Do you have a formula at the bottom of the error message?

[civic finch]

In the CSB settings for initiative, it specifically says not to include ${}$ though

[formal goblet]

Then skip those

[civic finch]

Thanks!

[oblique willow]

Can you somehow add a button to an item displayer to add a new item with a certain item template?

[velvet heron]

Any idea why this keeps happening? I clear out the empty space in the filter box, hit Save, then some indeterminate time later it seems to add them again. I don't know what's causing this.

[sinful spade]

erm. yeah? Effectively you can make any button in an item displayer since it's just a label. You'd need to use JS tho to find and add the item

[sinful spade]

that happens for me too... i just generally ignore it and havent had an issue with it yet.

@formal goblet i still cant solve this

[bleak marsh]

Am I doing something wrong, or can we not pass an object to a macro through the roll message?
%{return await game.macros.getName('YourMacro').execute({weapon: ${item}$})}%
it seems to send [object Object] instead of the item and I get the error>>> * SyntaxError: undefined. Unexpected identifier 'Object'*

[raven raven]

How can I create a number field whose value is based on the state of a dropdown list?

[formal goblet]

You can't. Values of Number Fields cannot be dependent

[raven raven]

Okay, thank you. Then how can i create text ( sutch as a label for example) that would change based on a numeric value?

In my system, monsters have different states, and I’d like these states to appear as text next to the token. I want to use this module for that:
https://foundryvtt.com/packages/healthEstimate

However, the Health Estimate Add-on can only monitor a numerical value on the character sheet and display the condition based on that number.

What I would really prefer is to handle this with a dropdown menu — for example, if I select “Enraged” from the dropdown, I’d like the token to also show “Enraged”.

But I’d also be fine with using a numbered field to step through the states — I’d just like it to display what each number means on the character sheet (e.g., 1 = Enraged, etc.).

How could i achieve this?

Is there any other way to present text right next to the tokens?

[velvet heron]

Welp, came across a "fun" new limit I didn't know existed before. Heh.

[formal goblet]

You use either the ternary operator or the switchCase()-function to handle conditions: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Guides/Formula-System#315-conditions

[zenith yew]

Question, How do I insert an image that can be edited by the players into a sheet?
Is that something I can do or will I have to add imaged manually

[oblique willow]

You can add images in rich text areas? Not very player friendly but it works

[hard cedar]

Hi I don't know if this topic has been covered. The files store History information (not just in the Json files). How can this history information be stopped or deleted from the files. This is causing issues where changes are made but the system refs to the history and continues use the history data.

[tulip obsidian]

Thks, and sorry for my late reply

[formal goblet]

It shouldn't happen, that the history data will be used by the Components. It's in a separate path and only contains the differential data

You can delete it from the Template by exporting, editing and reimporting it.

[twin goblet]

hello guys,
just a quick question. I would like to create a column in a dynamic table that contains a label that always points to the same compendium page.
I tried dragging the UUID of the compendium (Compendium.world.magus-szabalyok.JournalEntry.T264nJYuRWtnIt3J) into the label (this drag and drop works fine in the journal and compendium), and also copying it - but because it is a label, it does not become a link - but shows the UUID as text.
Is it possible to achieve this as a variable or in another simple way, so that the desired page appears when clicked on? Or is it simpler to build the description of the rules into the item?

[broken pumice]

Does something like that works ? <a class="content-link" draggable="true" data-uuid="Item.[ID]" data-id="[ID]" data-type="Item" data-tooltip="Item">[your text]</a>
(Remove the [] and replace them with your values)

Ah, sorry, you need a JournalEntry not an Item, give me a sec...

Try this maybe : <a class="content-link" data-uuid="JournalEntry.[ID]" data-id="[ID]" data-type="JournalEntry">[your text]</a>

Forget whatever I said, seems to work to make something draggable on the character sheet, but doesn't seem to be working to open a link to a Journal Entry, sorry.

[twin goblet]

thanks for trying. I'll work around the problem then and include the rules description in the item itself, rather than in the compendium. I'll probably get the information more easily from the item itself.

[formal goblet]

You can try out how it behaves if you drag it into a RTA (in Dialog editor mode)

[regal valley]

Is there a way to search for a value within an array? I've looked everywhere I can't seem to find the answer i'm looking for.

I'm trying to use alookup with a confitional and im getting an error code saying that arrays arent supported

[formal goblet]

Can be done with a script. What are you trying to do exactly?

[regal valley]

I have a dynamic table for a list of weapons, and one of the columns of the table has each of the weapons properties listed as an array.

I want a formula to be able to go through a given array and check whether a particular values is listed, returning either a true or false.

[formal goblet]

The column data is technically not an array, probably a csv string or something similar.

[regal valley]

Sorry, im new to all of this. I have the column set up as a text input, and for each entry i've got array('prop1', 'prop2', 'prop3', etc...) I figured I needed that for it to work.

Either way, is there a way to do what i'm trying to do?

[formal goblet]

A text field only contains a string, not an Array. Where exactly have you used this formula and where is the target formula that should return true or false?

[regal valley]

Really sorry, I dont come from a programming background, so I apologize if i'm not explaining things well. Theres a couple components in play here.

I have a dropdown thats key and name options are being pulled from a dynamic table full of weapons. In the same table, I have a text field with a series of strings listing their properties.

I have a seperate label, and I want it to display true if the weapon selected by the dropdown has a specific property listed in the aformentioned text field.

Here's how I was trying to get this to work.
If I use alookup('table', 'key', 'props', '~', 'propX', 'key', '===', dropdownKey) I can get the label to display the key name of the weapon selected in the dropdown if it has propX, otherwise it displays nothing. So I tried to combine that with:
${equalText(dropdownKey, alookup('table', 'key', 'props', '~', 'propX', 'key', '===', dropdownKey)) ? true : false}$

But I get an error in the console thats says that an Array is an unsupported type of condition

[formal goblet]

You get that because the return of alookup() is always an array, so equalText() fails to work with that

[regal valley]

right, so is there another way to do what I'm trying to do?

[formal goblet]

I'd do it this way:

find('table', 'key', 'name', dropdownKey).split(',').contains('value')

Given that the values listed in the text field are comma separated

[regal valley]

please forgive me, like I said, I've really not got much of an idea of what i'm doing. I put it into a label with the formula operators and i'm getting another error that says "no access to method "split""

[formal goblet]

Interesting... Then try this:

first(alookup('table', 'key', 'props', '~', 'propX', 'key', '===', dropdownKey)) ? true : false

[regal valley]

it's telling me now that it can't convert the weapon to a number

[formal goblet]

Mhh, seems like not() doesn't work the same way as !. Then the old school way...

[regal valley]

Does that mean it can't be done?

[formal goblet]

I've edited the previous one. Try that out

[regal valley]

That worked! I have no idea why it worked, but it worked!

thanks so much!

[supple latch]

I was looking but didnt find anything of the sort so far
there is a way to spoiler text? like, it is hidden until you click it, then it shows the rest?

[formal goblet]

Create a Component, that contains the text and has a visibility formula, that is linked to a Checkbox or something else

[supple latch]

yeap. this is beyond me.

[hard cedar]

Thanks for the reply. I have an example of dynamitic tables being changed and the template seem to refer to the old data. Which directory are the history files stored in? Thanks

[warm quartz]

I'm trying to learn how to use item displayers & items (I'm using Mythras for this).
I'm trying to use items for the skills and thus each skill will have a base % based on the actor's attributes.
My item template contains 2 dropdows to get the attributes to add. I can get the attribute keys without issues. But when trying to get the proper value either I get 'some props were not computed' or an error (No access to property). I'm looking at the item in the character sheet, so there is an actor.
I've already checked the wiki and searched internet, but still have no clue. How do I need to write a formula to access the actors properties from an item ?

[formal goblet]

You have to look at the scope. That's what you can access in a regular formula. You see that there's no actor-prop or something similar in there.

To get values of the parent entity, use fetchFromParent()

[warm quartz]

Thanks a lot, it now works. Back on tracks to do my first character sheet with items.

[twin goblet]

thank you, I did it 🙂

(just because it took a while, I'll write it down - maybe someone else will need it later)
1, I simply dragged the necessary description from the compendium to the hotbar - this gave me the hotbar macro for the article.
2, I named the macro.
3, I created a label on the character sheet, set it as a button, and inserted it into the dice code section %{return await game.macros.getName('MacroName').execute();}% where MacroName is the same as the name given in point 2.
Clicking on the button will immediately bring up the corresponding compendium page.

[fresh arrow]

maybe not directly typical technical question but... what are benefits of usage skills as items ?

[warm quartz]

You just have to set them once (all the text), then just drag & drop them in your character sheet.

[fresh arrow]

same you can define by dynamic table 🤔

[warm quartz]

After a day of work I've finished my item displayers for the skills. I just need to to do some CSS to remove the box around the names, set the column width & align all on the top.

[warm quartz]

You can't reuse your dynamic table skills on another character, you'll have to 'create' it again.

With items I just have to drop one in my character sheet and it will be all.

[formal goblet]

You can. You can create rows in the Template, which will be synched to every sheet

[sinful spade]

did someone say css? 🐽 🐽

[manic crypt]

The other reasons aside, there's the option to have skill description and other calculations happen on the skill item, as well as the option to do other things with a skill like stat mods from certain ranks or other item modifier related things if you like.

[west brook]

Hi, hopefully a quick question:

With the following structure:
weapontag (item) > weapon (item) > Actor

I have a button on the weapon, which calls keys from the tag for a roll message. It works as intended, using lookup() for the fields in the item displayer on the weapon.

Now I want to setup the same button on the item displayer in the actor sheet, calling keys from the weapon and from the tag.
Using item.key I can pull the keys from weapon, but I am stuck on how to call the columns from the tag, which are in an item displayer on the weapon.

I tried using item.key, or item.item.key (if that even makes sense 😅 ) and get no errors, just an empty return

[lost wigeon]

I'm continuing having problems related to the Character Sheet not "refreshing" after a Formula has run. For instance, I have certain formulas that make updates to the sheet. However, the updates do not change the values, for instance, of fields until the sheet is manually refreshed, or another roll is made off of the sheet.

My question is this. Is there something that I can do in said formulas to force the sheet to refresh after the formula has run? Thank you! 🙂

[lost wigeon]

To add to this, I guess there is a thing called application.render(); which can force something to refresh. What would I put there to force a Character Sheet in CSB to for a Character Sheet refresh as part of a Macro Formula as part of a CSB Formula?

[manic crypt]

Other people have had that issue. It's a fairly complicated script solution that LinkedFluuuush noted a couple months ago. Ill try to find it again when I'm back on my computer.

[cerulean trench]

so im trying to tie a label to the dropdown in an item. in this case its the type of celestial the character is(Angel or demon) . I was trying to use switch case but am not sure if ive got this wrong or if its just not pointing at the right item on the sheet.

${(function switchCase(item.choir_band_type, 'angelchoir', Angel Choir, 'demonband', Demon Band ))}$

[formal goblet]

Remove function

And you have to use quotes for every literal text, otherwise it will be interpreted as a variable

[cerulean trench]

like this? its still coming back as an error & I tried it with quotes around all the options & also this way.

${(switchCase(item.choir_band_type, angelchoir, 'Angel Choir', demonband, 'Demon Band'))}$

[formal goblet]

angelchoir and demonband are not variables, so use quotes.

[cerulean trench]

its still giving me an error even if i have quotes on those.

[formal goblet]

Check the console with F12

[cerulean trench]

its showing no access to the item?

[formal goblet]

Ah, yeah. You only have access to it within a Label of an Item Displayer

[cerulean trench]

ohhhhhhh. ok let me try that.

ok thats got it showing, but anyway to put it on the left side instead of right?

[formal goblet]

Only with CSS

[cerulean trench]

ok, well thanks for the assist 😅 i have no clue how to do CSS

[formal goblet]

You could also use fetchFromUuid(first(lookup(...)), ...) in your previous Label. Check the doc what these functions do first

[cerulean trench]

ok thanks, ill take a look at that

[cerulean trench]

how would i have an item retrieve info from the main sheet its on to do a calculation? vessels are items in this game & add/multiply off two of the corporeal stats on the sheet.

[cerulean trench]

so ive been messing with fetchfromparent() but cant seem to even get it to register any of the parent sheets attributes at all. what am i missing?

${(function fetchFromParent(str))}$

im trying to make it work with this formula, but it wasnt working & I'm just kinda lost at this point.

${((vessel_rating+fetchFromParent(corporeal_forces))*fetchFromParent(str))}$

[warm quartz]

I'm always happy to learn more. So far I just know how to change colors (text or background) in a sheet elements. Not much but it is still a start.

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Guides/Formula-System#316-execution-context

[warm quartz]

Since an item displayer can show all item types (read template), you can have a displayer showing all your skills with a button to roll them and another for your magic skill showing specific information (like how many volumes of matter you can affect, base damage if it depends on your skill, etc). And since it will be the same items, increase you skill in one displayer and all the other will update.
If you know Chivalry & Sorcery, this would allow you to have a panel for skills and another for magic. Your skill in a weapon affect the action points used by an attack and the bonus damage. So it would be possible to use items for all of this.

[cerulean trench]

read through that section half a dozen times & still lost

[formal goblet]

Use quotes around str and such. You pass the formula to the parent as a string

Take a look at the examples of the functions and try to imitate them as close as possible

[cerulean trench]

i really am trying, but im not a coder, so this stuff is extremely difficult to understand for me. ive been trying every variation i can think of & im just shooting blind to the point of giving up

like ive done the quotations & its just not working

${function fetchFromParent('str')}$ like this doesnt even get it to appear?

[formal goblet]

Remove function. You'll never use that keyword

[cerulean trench]

${fetchFromParent('str')}$

removed it, still not working.

[formal goblet]

Then open the console with F12 and check what it says

[cerulean trench]

ive no clue what any of that means

[formal goblet]

That one means that a dependent module is missing. Go back to the setup menu and install the module Chat Commander

[cerulean trench]

so these commands are not part of CSB?

the fetch commands you suggested?

[formal goblet]

These are functions and they all come from CSB (at least the ones listed on our page).

Chat Commands adds the possibility to use custom /-commands in the Chat

[cerulean trench]

ok lets back up a min. im not trying to do automated chat commands, im just trying to do the fetch from parent stuff that isnt working, & thats the error its throwing me. so is that option included in CSB by default or does it require this seperate module to make work?

[formal goblet]

When the world starts, CSB expects the module to be installed to register its' own Chat Commands right at the start of the world

[cerulean trench]

is there a reason the system doesnt prompt you to install this by default then? it seems like a key dependancy given that the wikis code depends on this

i must admit quite a bit frustration that ive been effectively trying the impossible for a while now & the solution is to install something i had no simple way to realize.

[formal goblet]

It should actually prompt you. Don't know why it didn't happen

[cerulean trench]

oh well hell. my apologies then if i was short, im installing it now.

ok its working now, with the following

${fetchFromParent('str')}$

it does require me to delete the current body metric if the str is updated, but its a win & I'll take it

[cerulean trench]

it works!

${(vessel_rating+fetchFromParent('corporeal_forces'))*fetchFromParent('str')}$

i still need to figure out how to have it automatically update when they increase their strength & corporeal forces on the sheet, but this is the last bit of automation i needed

eh till i get it figured out i just tagged a reminder on the item for when people spend XP to upgrade their forces or strength.

is there a way to get rid of the -10 +10 but keep the -1 +1? or is that just static like that. i didnt like how the hovered version looked.

[sinful spade]

I offer 1:1 tutoring, and the tutorial I posted on yt covers some small things.

There's also a HTML CSS JavaScript course I followed on Coursera from John Hobkins University that's good at teaching the structural elements ( I didn't finish the JS unit because assignments instructions were broke )

[sinful spade]

Doesn't it already do that, since it's an item attached to the sheet. I think there's just a small delay?

[sinful spade]

No, that's how CSB provides it. But you can manually build +1 -1 buttons and style them to look the same.

[warm quartz]

I already watched the yt tutorial several times. It helped a lot when I started setting my item displayers.

[sinful spade]

It wasn't CSS focused but did touch on structuring and spacing elements. 🔥

[warm quartz]

I'll check my CSS/HTML books. Got a few some time ago in pdf format. Having some background can help a bit.

[sinful spade]

Actually you can almost certainly hide the first and last button with css. I just don't know the structure off hand.

😅 If you want to inspect the element and find it, there may be an easy way with a class or something, else you can always use the nth-child pseudo selectors

[twin goblet]

Hello, I have another question...
I created the items and spells using the CSB embedded items folder template so that I could drag them into the character sheet. In the meantime, it turned out - both item types have the same CSS template - but I want a different appearance for the equipment and spells.
I solved the problem by replacing the appearance in the custom CSS with the help of the unique UUID of the spells. I think the result is nice and it works.
But when I drag the spell into the character sheet, it gets a new identifier, which I was not prepared for - and thus the appearance of the spell on the character sheet is reset to the global settings.
If I create a template that modifies the appearance in the sheet configuration, would that solve the problem? I thought that I would copy the default template there, duplicate it, and rewrite the relevant lines. I just haven't found where that file is hidden yet...

[formal goblet]

You could try out this workaround: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/issues/231#note_1284412353

[sinful spade]

that layout is pretty dope dude

[sinful spade]

you can use the template ID as a class btw

[lone patrol]

hey all, im working on a roll macro which is a modification of what @daring thunder uses for their Draw Steel setup. The initial dialog pops up, but there's no roll message.
This here is the roll trigger on the label:

%{
game.macros.getName('DiceCheck').execute({
character_name:'${escapeQuotes(name)}$',
ability_title:'Acumen',
defaultAbility:'Acumen',
Acumen:${fetchFromActor(name,'Acumen')}$,
Logic:${fetchFromActor(name,'Logic')}$,
Brawn:${fetchFromActor(name,'Brawn')}$,
Finesse:${fetchFromActor(name,'Finesse')}$,
Mettle:${fetchFromActor(name,'Mettle')}$,
Vibe:${fetchFromActor(name,'Vibe')}$
});
}%

and the DiceCheck macro is attached.

JS is not a language i click with super well 😅

[broken pumice]

From the top of my head, it's because a Message created from a roll doesn't accept any form of content. (I might be wrong on that, can some else confirm or correct me maybe ?)
What I usually do in those cases is : first show the roll with roll.toMessage, then I'll create an other chat Message with ChatMessage.create to show a text message with the summary of the roll.

So in your case I would simply remove this line content: messageContent in your roll.toMessage call and then add another chat message with
ChatMessage.create({ content: messageContent, speaker: { alias: character_name, actor: characterActor }, });

Hope this help a bit

[marble burrow]

Not trying to sound impatient but is there an estimated timeline of when CSB will be brought up to v13? ❤️

[verbal portal]

Hello how are you guys?

I have some issues showing out a list of items from an item display linked to a dynamic table of the item type I need.

May you give me some basilar examples to filter like the equalText() command ?

I tried with something like
equalText('item.armour_zone','head')

But it showed all the armour items and not only the 'head'

When I come back home I'll send the stamp of the console

[twin goblet]

Scyrizu, you're right, as I look at it now a day later - there's still work to be done on the appearance 🙂
I started reading what you meant by your template ID as a class suggestion, but I'm just guessing - I still have a lot to learn in this area.

I tried what Martin suggested - interesting results 😄
if I put this code in the tag:
`<style>
.hide{display: none;}
._template .hide{display: block;}

div#EquippableItemSheet-Item-Ndx7SQE4TLhHs3jH,
div#EquippableItemTemplateSheet-Item-JhlZZjh3rDYPTLX3
{

margin-top: 0px;
padding-top: 200px;
padding-left: 65px;
padding-right: 65px;
padding-bottom: 80px;
height: 100%;
background: url(../ui/hatter16.png);
background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;

}
/* YOUR STYLES HERE */
</style>

<!-- DO NOT REMOVE, THIS SHOWS ONLY IN THE TEMPLATE EDITOR-->
<div class="hide">GLOBAL CSS (EDIT)</div>`

then it will insert the background for the spell template and the given spell, and not anywhere else.

If I also insert the
div#EquippableItemSheet-Actor-a27SaOs60zEfsDjK-Item-WS9CecgYx5ZHXhbG
link, it will also replace the background on the item dragged into the character sheet. But as you can see, this is hard-wired into it - it wouldn't work for other characters and spells. So it's not perfect.

However, if I generalize and use this:
`.custom-system-actor-content {

margin-top: 0px;
padding-top: 200px;
padding-left: 65px;
padding-right: 65px;
padding-bottom: 80px;
height: 100%;
background: url(../ui/hatter16.png);
background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;

}`
then it works fine on its own - as long as no other window is open. For example, when I click on the indented spell on the character sheet and the spell description window appears, the character sheet suddenly takes over the background - but only until I close the spell window - because then it returns to its original state.
It does the same with the other item windows. That is, if the spell description is open, then the other open windows will also take over the background image, and discard it and return to the original state when I close it.
I tried to put the same css formatting in the character sheet template to preserve its appearance. The result is that it applies the background of the last opened window to the other already open windows.

[dire socket]

Hey so, how would I go about making a sheetroll from an item table actually function when not targeting the token itself

[west brook]

Quick question,
How do I use a key from an item as the comparison operator in a lookup function inside a fetchFromActor function, in a way that it doesn't look for the key in the actor I am fetching something from?

Clarifying context:
I have an actor with most of the dynamic tables I need, and want to look for keys based on an item's name. But if I use name in a lookup inside fetchfromactor it searches for the actor's name, not the item's.

I tested changing name to the actual value and the fetching is working, but I can't figure out the syntax to pass the name.

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/Guides/Formula-System#316-execution-context

[dire socket]

@formal goblet is this possible?

[formal goblet]

I think the generated Macro is outdated. That looks like some old syntax we used some major versions ago

The key should be something like WeaponStack.<rowIndex>.ActionDis

[dire socket]

Ah yes, I can try that, I just dragged it over the macro bar

[dire socket]

/sheetRoll SpelListInc(@rowId=7JCU3SXJ7C31CooU).Action is what the macro was written as

Wait thats a different macro but still a dragged one

@formal goblet /sheetRoll WeaponStack(@rowId=v2tOafMKYYAdYEQT).ActionDis yeah this only works when I select the token it's from. Is there any way around this?

[west brook]

I have been using this as a guide, but I must be doing something wrong, so this is my formula:

${fetchFromActor('mastertable',"lookup('signsystemstable','signsystemtype','signsystem',name)")}$

It runs in a label in an item named "test item" (not an item displayer). "mastertable" is the actor with dynamic tables.

For testing, I changed it to

${fetchFromActor('mastertable',"lookup('signsystemstable','signsystemtype','signsystem','test item')")}$

and got the value I wanted, so I assume the formula is using the name "mastertable" instead of the name of the item it executes from.

I tried using item.name, but I don't think that's how I am supposed to do it, it would work in an item displayer, referencing the key in the item, right?

[formal goblet]

const actor = '';// Your job to get the correct Actor
actor.roll('SpelListInc(@rowId=7JCU3SXJ7C31CooU).Action');

[dire socket]

It is from an item container, I imagine thats got something to do with this

[dire socket]

Thank you

oh

wait

LOL

nvm

Just read it, my bad

You're the best

[formal goblet]

${fetchFromActor('mastertable',"lookup('signsystemstable','signsystemtype','signsystem', '${name}$')")}$

[west brook]

Oh, I see it now, thank you!

[crystal finch]

On the Item Displayer, what does the "filter items" option actually do? I'm selecting a template, but items with that template are still showing up in the Item Displayer list. I was under the impression that it filters out the items with that template to show up on the table.

nvm i figured it out lol

other way around

[ancient temple]

okay so weird situation here: in my custom character sheet I have a section thats essentially Temp HP. Im trying to get this value be displayed as a bar on the token via the resource bar. issue is i dont have a maximum value set for it, and if i do set one the bar isnt full or its barely visible. idk if theres anything that can be done with csb or if its just a base foundry thing got it figured out with Bar Brawl!

[lone patrol]

i added this, then removed it, and now foundry seems happy and it just works?!? thanks lol

[sinful spade]

I'm going to be honest I'm not following what you're saying here 😅

But if you get the template id (by clicking the copy uuid button at the top left of the template sheet), and removing the prefix, so it's just the string of characters you can use that as a class that effects all actors or items built using the template -- so for me I use the player character template as a class to style all player characters 😅

[verbal portal]

Oh well thanks to the CSB tutorial on YouTube I resolved

[twin goblet]

thanks for the detailed explanation. It seems to be working without any problems at the moment 🙂 👍

[cerulean trench]

is there a way to drag one character sheet onto another as an openable item? sorta like using the item displayer & then just opening to a connected sheet?

this is for a type of character resource called servants that are just entire other characters

[charred prairie]

How do I implement negative numbers into my sheet?

I'm trying to add a negative number and it spouts an error

[fair yoke]

Hello, I had the exact same problem and the only solution i found was to insert a macro code to force refresh the sheet after the roll.

[shy osprey]

if I want to use the same sheet in another world can I just transfer the templates via compendium or what is the way to do it?

[oblique willow]

You can either transfer them via shared compendium, or use the export template feature.

[copper jetty]

hello everone, i just update foundry to version 13, i saw that csb core ain't ready for the new version (yes, i make backup's before v13)

should i wait for csb be ready to v13 or should i reverse to v12?

I have a campaign next week in a world I created, I'm without haste

[velvet heron]

You can just make the servants items and have a section on PC character sheets to list the servants under an item displayer.

Might require more work to format the item template, though.

[manic crypt]

This was the solution set that LinkedFluuuush provided in September for someone having the same issue.

#1037072885044477962 message

[sinful spade]

Inevitably you'll find errors in v13, but how bad this is -- we won't know till it's happening.

Personally I'll be waiting to move to v13 for at least 4 months

[lilac panther]

There is a command fetchFromUuid:
function fetchFromUuid(uuid: string, formula: string, fallback?: Primitive): Primitive;
I have an item UUID Item.M2a7xNed5FSr7ubJ
I need an attribute test from it.
So we get a command ${fetchFromUuid('M2a7xNed5FSr7ubJ', 'test', 2)}$, which fallbacks as 2, if it doesn't find anything.
The problem is, that it always fallbacks to 2.
Is there something wrong with the function or in my understanding of it?

[copper jetty]

thx, i returned to v12, it's all good

[formal goblet]

https://github.com/GamerFlix/foundryvtt-api-guide/blob/main/advanced_api_guide.md#ids-and-uuids

[lilac panther]

why do you send me an api guide? I'm just trying to use a thing from the main GitLab guide

And yes, i've used Copy UUID on the page i wanted, so everything must be okay if i'm not wrong somehow.

[formal goblet]

The UUID contains the whole text (including the Item.-prefix), while the ID is the part without the prefix.

[lilac panther]

Okay, thank you, it worked. Now i have another little problem. Example from "Readme" wiki on GitLab is wrong.

[formal goblet]

Yeah, I noticed that. Luckily it's the only wrong example

[lilac panther]

Now, in what order do i have to put my commands to lookup from dynamic table by UUID?

I'm lost)

[formal goblet]

The UUID is your filter criteria?

[lilac panther]

No, i have an item, that i read by UUID, and i need to lookup a field in a DT in that item

I have like a database inside an item and i need to access it from multiple places

Is it possible at all?

[formal goblet]

Then first comes fetchFromUuid() and inside of that you use lookup()

[lilac panther]

Finally managed to get it to work, thank you.
${fetchFromUuid('${SizeConverterUUID}$', "find('Size', 'LiteralSize', 'Number', '${Size}$')", 2)}$
Had to use double quotes and to quote dollar brackets, but now it works!

Somehow 4 is not equal to ${4}$

[flint sandal]

Man I am loving Custom System Builder.
I'm working on implementing Valor and am having such a weird issue at the moment. The same formula that works in the Label Text doesn't work in the Label Roll Message of the same component. Any ideas why that could be the case? I've checked for rich text formatting or copypaste changes causing issues and can't narrow anything down.
This particular component is a label-button as a column in an Item Displayer

I can post the code but since it's working in one place maybe I can save myself the embarrassment of my spaghetti code if there' something else I should check first

[formal goblet]

The error message in the console (F12) is always helpful

[flint sandal]

Thank you!! I'll dive into this

[flint sandal]

Thank you, solved! My formula had an issue in it (a hidden variable name change) but I guess the Roll checks the full promise while the label maybe check for switchcase parts it didn't need

[zenith rover]

I’m making a sheet for a game where with multiple armor types. Primary armor assigns the baseline defense/range of movement for a character while additional armor (such as shields or helmets) modifies those stats. To that end, I’ve created an armor template with radio buttons that determine whether the item is primary armor or one of the secondary types.

Within the character sheet, the item displayer is supposed to return baseline stats if the primary radio button is active or a text string if it is not. Instead, it’s only returning the baseline stats. What am I doing wrong?

${ item.armortype ? concat(big string of primary armor details) : item.descriptivetext }$

Changing the radio button within an item has no effect, the only way to get the secondary text string is to change the condition to false (item.armortype=0)

[sinful spade]

going on a limb here since there's a lack of details in this department, but i'm assuming there's something wrong with your radio button settup.
For example, are they all in the same group and do they have values assigned?

[zenith rover]

Yes, the group is “armortype” with primary armor set to “0”, helmet to “1”, and so on

[formal goblet]

These are strings btw

[zenith rover]

That could be it!

[past ivy]

Hi,

the Deathwatch Template doesn't roll attacks. (Edit: Foundry 11 and CSB 3.0.0)

I have fixed it so far that everything works but it simply puts the damage as a string into chat.

the code in question:
<strong>Damage:</strong> ${#dam:=[${sameRow('dmg')}:d10]+$dmg_bon+mel_dmg}$ ${!sameRow('dmg_type')}$ (Pen: ${!sameRow('wpn_pen')}$)<br>
<em>!!! Check for minimum damage on 1 die (${!dos}$) and Righteous Fury !!!</em>

can someone help me find the error?

[formal goblet]

Check your delimiters. Every ${ must have }$ later on

[past ivy]

they look all accounted for

[formal goblet]

They don't

There are 3 different errors, with 2 using uncomplete characters and the third one is missing a closing one

[past ivy]

the one that's missing the closing one is in the [] right? (totally overlooked it even after your hint)

I assume bon_dmg and mel_dmg are the incomplete ones but I can't seem to get them to work as the function doesn't work at all now

[zenith rover]

Treated it as a string/refined the code and it all worked! Thanks!

[formal goblet]

Or you just remove the $ at dmg_bon

[past ivy]

Thanks for your input!

${[${sameRow('dmg')}$d10]+${sameRow('dmg_bon')}$+mel_dmg}$

this was works now
Edit: (the rest of the code was fine)

[brittle moth]

Hello ! I'm here for some news !

1. For those of you who are enthusiast about v13, please be patient. I fully intend to update the system to v13, but it will take some time. I'd like to finish some features before then.
2. Notably, I would like to finish the feature I am currently working on, which is Customizable Active Effects.
3. And another feature after that : Application V2 migration. I have started the work on this feature, but there may be some hidden catches. That's why it will be an opt-in system, and then an opt-out system, until Foundry decides to drop Application V1 completely.
4. One more thing... The documentation has been reworked to be easier to navigate and link to. It is now in the CSB wiki ! https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/stable/en/Home

There are multiple goals to this transformation :

• Ease of access and linking. I'm aware that the current README is painful, especially since anchored links tend to not work at all. In the wiki, everything has its own article, or at least the articles are way smaller, so finding what you search should be easier
• Ease of translation. I set the base work for translating the docs, I still need to write a guide on how to contribute for those of you willing to do so, but the docs should be easier to localize too.
• Feedback. The Gitlab wiki allows for comments. So please don't hesitate to comment on it, to add examples, tips, or feedback on the docs, if you think some things should be changed !

Well... This is it for now. Enjoy CSB, thank you for your support, and see you later ! 🙂

[civic carbon]

/sheetroll doesn't work from a roll message, right?
ive tried putting it in a concat('/sheetroll ',string(formula)) too but it didnt work either, so i assume its not intended? i feel like it used to work a version or so ago

[lilac panther]

I've got a slight problem, because i don't understand how radio button works, and because of that i don't understand why it doesn't.
So i want to make a multi-type weapon. It is a sword, but it can do either slashing, piercing or bludgeoning damage, with either blade, tip or pummel, or a halberd, that is an axe(with slashing) or a spear(piercing). For that I've made a Dynamic table, that holds those combinations. Now just need to make a radio button, that can let me switch between them.
On the screenshots i have a Dynamic Table Types, where the ChosenType row is a radio button in ChosenWeaponType group, that has to take Type from the same row as it's value, but it behaves as if formulas are not allowed in the value field, even though it says they do. I've got a little debug on the bottom, which says, that the ChosenWeaponType is ${sameRow('Type')}$, instead of reading it.

[lilac panther]

And now it works sometimes, but only if i change the table, from where they take their types, and stops working when i try to choose a new one.

[formal goblet]

Radio Buttons do not work well with Dynamic Tables

[manic folio]

Hello @restive nymph , this module work fine for css and with no F5 :
https://foundryvtt.com/packages/custom-css

[flint sandal]

Howdy y'all! 2 small questions as I dive deep.
1:If I wanted to setPropertyInEntity to set something to a string, any ideas? It does work if I reference a attribute that contains a string, but I want to enter my own. string() and escapeQuotes() didn't seem to work.
2: It looks like %{scripts}% don't respect being inside conditionals, which makes sense. How should I do this?
${item.turns == 1? %{linkedEntity.delete()}%:
setPropertyInEntity(
'item','turns',item.turns - 1)}$

[formal goblet]

1. Use quotes inside quotes, e.g. "'x'"
2. The innermost formula is evaluated first. You have to check within the script itself

[flint sandal]

Thank you, I've gotten both instances working!
%{${setPropertyInEntity('item', 'turns', item.turns - 1)}$

return ${item.turns}$ <= 1 ?
linkedEntity.delete() : ''
}%
(Writing it this way for learning purposes).
I need to evaluate item.turns at 1, not 0, because it will evaluate the conditional either before setpropertyinentity is evaluated or before it's completed, despite setproperty being 'deeper'.
Is the issue that setpropertyinentity is going through the slower ${}$ route? How would I go about setting the linkedEntity 'turns' variable within code without ${}$s? (sorry, I promise I've tried figuring this one out)

[formal goblet]

Don' worry, you can't know this.

The updates from setPropertyInEntity() and setValues() are deferred until the end of the Label Roll Message, meaning they don't happen immediately with the call.

The updates are deferred, but the return values are not. So you can just grab the return of the function and compare with that

[flint sandal]

Ah, makes sense! Thank you!

[sinful spade]

@formal goblet i finally solved the component key bug, though I'm unsure of why it was manifesting itself that way.

I had some code populating a dropdown with a list of all actors of a certain template. This code was paste into both the key and label portions of the dropdown formula (assuming this would make the key and label both the actors name.

Somehow someway, this was making the data-value="actorname " with a space at the end, which wasn't errors in normal references or math functions, nor in console. Yet, for some reason if any component using the actor name got a component key, it would suddenly say error with no further information.

Removing the code from the dropdown label population (leaving it in the key), and adding another column referencing the same row result (and using that to reference outside of the table without needing to reference the dropdown) works. Unclear as to why, but here we are.

[sinful spade]

unstyled, but finally functional

[arctic charm]

Is there a way to add a css class to the root element of a template?

[ruby spade]

Hey, finally jumping in to learn CSB, following this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2XcMGpjLiY

Might have a lot of questions - apologies in advance! 😅

[coral hemlock]

What version of CSB are you running, I had this issue for awhile then updated the version then all started working

[ruby spade]

Quick question, how do I create a label which needs to return the value ("label") for a dropdown key?

Here's my use-case. When I set a new Label to ${reputationRating}$ it returns the Key, not the label (which makes sense). But it should return something like A (d12) or C (d8) - what's the syntax to make this work?

(I'm running CSB v4.4.2 in Foundry 12.331)

[formal goblet]

The Label is just visual. You don't have access to those. You can only try to map the key values with switchCase() or you rename the key parts to match the Labels

[ruby spade]

Ah, renaming the key values is a great tweak, thanks!

[elfin fog]

does the update break csb? (ver 13)

[ivory gate]

Hello, everyone!

I'm new to Foundry, moved from Roll20. I wonder how can I make roll dependent from radio button?

I have label button for roll and radio button for explode dice/not explode

Like if button enabled roll will be
[!:(skill1_val+skill_mod):d6x]

and when disabled
[!:(skill1_val+skill_mod):d6]

when i tried to merge them in condition I got both of them rolled

[formal goblet]

${#roll_mod:= condition ? 'x' : ''}$
${[!:(skill1_val+skill_mod):d6:roll_mod:]}$

Thought I was gonna get to be clever. I want to press a button (roll the label turn_down) on all rows where this evaluates true. I think I'm back to the issue of evaluation order though

ReferenceError: [relevant id] is not defined in eval

[formal goblet]

The return of ${}$ is a bareword (not even a string, like in shell programming)

This would work:

"${alookup('status_list','id','applied_by', '===', status_combatant_check)}$".split(',').forEach();

[flint sandal]

Indeed it did, clever! I had tried encasing it in string and array, but to the same effect lol. This actually answers several questions I had in one lol

[sinful spade]

Enjoy!

[cerulean trench]

i'm trying to figure out if i can have my sheet reference a result in an item's item displayer, from a 2nd item

we added an item displayer inside the vessel item, to make it easier to drag & drop ready made roles. the item displayer in the vessel has no problem picking up the "nurse" from the role item, but when i do the same thing for the "Role name" on the sheet it gives me an error

so its showing no access to the vessel_role inside the item displayer....

so now ive given it access to the item displayer named vessel_role

and it gives this back.

i want to give it access to role_text inside vessel_role

but am unsure if thats possible with how CSB works?

[broken pumice]

Looks like you are accessing the object itself instead of the property. What does your formula looks like ?

[cerulean trench]

${(item.vessel_role)}$

and i want it to access within that item displayer, called vessel_role, & pick out the role_text info, that its grabbing from the further nested role item

[broken pumice]

What dose ${(item.vessel_role.name)}$ gives you ?

[cerulean trench]

nothing, it shows ERROR but then console doesnt show me anything

tried that with ${(item.vessel_role.role_text)}$ as well

it seems like it accesses vessel_role the item displayer, but im not picking up the displayers info

[broken pumice]

Not sure it's possible that way, but I did write a workaround that kindda work for my system.

Basically, the items and items on items are stored in the same collection on the actor so I wrote something like :
%{return entity.entity.collections.items.filter(i => i.system.props.hasOwnProperty('role_text').filter(v => ${item.name$} === v.parent_vessel_name)).map(v => v.role_text)}%

Assuming that parent_vessel_name is a field in Role that takes the name of the parent item and that there is only 1 role per Vessel.

(Not sure it will work as is, you might have to tweak it a bit. I adapted something that was not doing exactly what you want, but I think the idea is similar enough.)

[cerulean trench]

thats sadly a bit over my head with the coding. its giving me this error though

[broken pumice]

I forgot to add the %{}% around the whole thing, my bad

I've corrected it now

and they have to be themselves inside a formula ${}$

[cerulean trench]

sorry was eating, let me take a look at this real quick

[broken pumice]

Having used CSB for a little while, I can give you a tentative answer.

1. Probably, you will always have more flexibility if you build your own thing, but you can do a lot with CSB and I think it's well worth it for the simplicity it provides. I'd say go for it and learn. If you face insurmountable obstacles, then you could switch to building your own system, but you would at least have learn quite a lot by doing it with CSB first.

2. 1d20 + agility for initiative is super easy. Then, I would personally add the luck score after the decimal point to have foundry handle tiebreaker organically.

3. Yes, you can use your own CSS style sheet and each element has a field that allows you to add CSS classes.

4 I am using Bar Brawl and it works well !

[cerulean trench]

so it doesnt seem to be working, im wondering if it might just be a mix up of the tags, so going to clarify with you on this one @broken pumice

this is the one that the code would be located in, in case thats something its referencing?

[broken pumice]

If I understand what you are trying to do correctly, yes I think so

This is an Item displayer on an actor, right ?

[cerulean trench]

i also think i confused a few of my tags, let me grab a screen shot of the next item

[cerulean trench]

so this is on my main character sheet

[cerulean trench]

and this is on the vessel item

apologies, i got a bit confused when trying to juggle 3 sheets worth of code at once

[broken pumice]

No problem, I know the feeling 😬

[cerulean trench]

yeah honestly im learning but its slow going. 😅

[broken pumice]

What does your Role sheet looks like and can a Vessel have more than 1 Role ?

[cerulean trench]

....let me check. i dont know if they can have more then 1 per the rules. currently they are programmed to just accept as many items as you throw on them

[broken pumice]

OK, let's try to make it work for 1 then and go from there !

[cerulean trench]

so this is my role item

and "role_text" is the text field where you would put "doctor, rock star, CEO, etc"

[broken pumice]

So here is what I would do and why (I'll try to explain line by line the best I can) :

In Role Temple, add a label called parent_namewith in it ${fetchFromParent('name', {fallback: "No parent"})}$ That way, this field will take the value of the Vessel's name it is currently attached to.

Then on your actor sheet in vessel_list, vessel_role_display you will write this :

${%{return entity.entity.collections.items.filter(i => i.system.props.hasOwnProperty('role_text').filter(v => ${item.name$} === v.parent_name)).map(v => v.role_text)}%}$

The first part entity.entity.collections.items will go look at all the Items that are currently on the Actor, but we don't want them all, so we use the function filter to only get those we are interested in.

filter( i => i.system.props.hasOwnProperty('role_text'))

This part let us only take the Items that possess a role_text, so only the Roles can have that, but it will still give us any Role that is on the Actor sheet, including role from other Vessels. That's why we need the second : filter(v => ${item.name}$ === v.parent_name)

This time we access the item in the Item Displayer (so normaly the Vessel on that line) with ${item.name}$ and we take this name to compare it to the parent_name of the role.

[cerulean trench]

i got the role template updated, & its working, but when i put the 2nd piece in, its giving me this.

figure we are missing a ) somewhere?

[broken pumice]

Might have misstyped, sorry...

[cerulean trench]

oh no worries, this is helping me understand ALOT & i really appreciate it

[broken pumice]

hmmm, actually, I think we have one ) to many..
${%{return entity.entity.collections.items.filter(i => i.system.props.hasOwnProperty('role_text').filter(v => ${item.name$} === v.parent_name).map(v => v.role_text)}%}$
Like this maybe ?

[cerulean trench]

no its still popping back the same error, hmmm

[broken pumice]

ok, just a sec

Ah yes !
${%{return entity.entity.collections.items.filter(i => i.system.props.hasOwnProperty('role_text')).filter(v => ${item.name}$ === v.parent_name).map(v => v.role_text)[0]}%}$

[cerulean trench]

that one isnt popping back errors but is just displaying itself?

[broken pumice]

you have a typo after item.name

it should be }$ not $}

Well, that was my typo originally ^^ sorry again (not had my coffee yet ^^'')

[cerulean trench]

fixed that part, but it looks like its giving us the ) error in the console again

[cerulean trench]

oh i could not do this without caffeine 😄

[broken pumice]

I need to test something really quick...

[cerulean trench]

yeah it looks like everythings solid as far as i can tell, no typos or missing )

[broken pumice]

We might need to add "" around ${item.name}$ so like that "${item.name}$"

[cerulean trench]

hmmm, now its giving a new error 😄

[broken pumice]

new error means we are making progress ! (well, maybe ^^'') Let me look into it

[cerulean trench]

lol thanks. im doing some rules input in between it all now

[broken pumice]

Try to remove the second filter for now, so like that : ${%{return entity.entity.collections.items.filter(i => i.system.props.hasOwnProperty('role_text')).map(v => v.role_text)[0]}%}$

[cerulean trench]

hey no console error this time, but its just showing ERROR in place of any text

[broken pumice]

That's what I have too now, but I feel I'm close to finding out why

(Apologies, I'm very not used to Javascript)

[cerulean trench]

no worries at all. this is a minor thing mostly, i honestly feel like my players wont care, its just something ive been trying to figure out myself

[broken pumice]

I'm dumb.... I forgot the system.props the access the field...
Let's try this :
${%{let to_display = entity.entity.collections.items.filter(i => i.system.props.hasOwnProperty('role_text')).filter(v => ${item.name}$ === v.system.props.parent_name).forEach(v => v.system.props.role_text.concat(" ")); return to_display;}%}$

[cerulean trench]

drat the console error returned.

[broken pumice]

${%{let to_display = ""; entity.entity.collections.items.filter(i => i.system.props.hasOwnProperty('role_text')).filter(v => ${item.name}$ === v.system.props.parent_name).forEach(v => to_display +=v.system.props.role_text.concat(" ")); return to_display;}%}$

[cerulean trench]

that ones kicking back the same error.

tbh im not far from crashing so i can loop back to this at a later point. its mostly a puzzle at this point & not a game breaking problem

but thanks a bunch for helping me on this

[broken pumice]

It's strange because I have counted those parentheses at least 20 times and I feel there is parity... I'm thinking the error might be somewhere else, but I cannot find where

[broken pumice]

no problem, I see it as a puzzle too ^^ Sorry, that I wasn't bale to help better.

[broken pumice]

I know you have gone to bed, but maybe you will see this in the morning. I think this time it will work.

${%{
let to_display = "";
entity.entity.collections.items.filter(
i => i.system.props.hasOwnProperty('role_text')).filter(
v => "${item.name}$" === v.system.props.parent_name).forEach(v => { to_display += v.system.props + " " } );
return to_display; }%}$

[dense pine]

Question about Dynamic Tables:
I would like to modify specific Values of a Dynamic Table (Screenshot) with Item modifiers. I know how to do that with a normal table where every entry has its own Component Key. But as dynamic tables only have Component Keys for the entire column, how can i do this?

Or is it only possible to edit manually with Number Fields?

[lone patrol]

Hey, new roll macro problem! I'm passing a dropdown value called SupplyDie to a roll macro which has it roll that size of die (dropdown screenshot attached). My macro is spitting an error when i click the button to roll it (error screenshot attached). I've also tagged on my Button roll message and the roll macro. Any help would be appreciated, as nothing is rolling :) Fixed!

is it bad practice to pass the value as the same name? probably but that part works just fine AFAIK :P

oh wait, i think i know whats happening....

Determine Tier is probably tripping it

also my roll message is calling the wrong macro

rookie errors!

[lone patrol]

you're probably gonna be wanting to use lookup or potentially lookupRef. not sure what you're trying to achieve but those two options cover most use cases.

[dense pine]

lookup "extracts" values from the table, i want to modify them

[lone patrol]

Yeah i don't know of any way to do that, not with a dynamic table.

lookupRef might possibly be useful because it gets you a data-path?

not a thing i've tried to do unfortunately.

find can also get you a single value but again, 🤷‍♀️

[formal goblet]

The item modifier key must contain fetchFromParent("lookupRef(...)")

[lone patrol]

Wanted to share a progress update on my sheet for my system BEACON: most essentials and styling are there and we're almost fully ready to run sessions that arent just playtests! the only work now is getting features and items designed and made, and hoo boy that is gonna take a WHILE 😅

[dense pine]

Is this a valid syntax?

[formal goblet]

Formula-delimiters are missing

[dense pine]

im a noob - sorry 🙂

[broken pumice]

This looks great !
I should be creating Item and such for my system, but I keep procrastinating by adding functiunality.. So good luck with THAT particular grind XD

[formal goblet]

Must be done with CSS

[plush maple]

Hello, still figuring out the system and haven't done the CSS part yet but my problem is with rolling in the chat bar properly.
I want to allow a Skill's d20 roll to compare to the Skill DC on the Actor sheet itself.
Currently I have the DC calculated by

${arcanaDC=profArcana ? 20-(2*statRSN) : 20-statRSN; arcanaDC}$ which is [18]. How do I remove the brackets for a cleaner value?
Additionally, what I am looking for is the Arcana button to roll a d20 (+ 1d6 if Favor = true) (-1d6 if Hinder = true) with the resault saying "Pass!" if the value is equal to or higher than the DC. My code is currently this:
${arcanaVal=1d20+(favor+hinder); arcanaVal >= arcanaDC ? 'Pass!' : 'Fail...' }$
but the result is not showing at all and been trouble shooting this for a while.

[formal goblet]

Why the semicolon with arcanaDC right after it?

[plush maple]

OH! okay that fixed the bracet issue, lol forgot to remove some code.

[formal goblet]

Ah, I see what you do. The formula syntax is similar, but not equal to JS. It has a few differences.

= -> :=

And actual roll formulas have to be additionally encapsulated with []

[plush maple]

okay it is rolling now. Just have an Error issue now. That is much closer than where I was getting. XD

Going to remove some code to see if I can just get the d20 to roll first then come back to adding the Hinder and Favor mechanics but that did help me at least get rolls in now. Defaintlly will keep chipping away at this. I knew i was just squinting at this and missing just the tiniest thing LOL. This is what I got now.

${arcanaVal:=[1d20]+(favorVal+hinderVal); arcanaVal >= arcanaDC ? 'Pass!' : 'Fail...' }$

[formal goblet]

${#arcanaVal:= [1d20] + 0}$
${arcanaVal >= arcanaDC ? 'Pass' : 'Fail...'}$

[plush maple]

OH Thank you so much! Okay that is a lot cleaner than whatever I was doing lol.

Honestly didn't know you can just use strings twice, thought it all had to be one string.

[formal goblet]

1 Phrase can contain as many Formulas as you like. You can even nest them (like in bash-programming, if you have experience with that)

[formal goblet]

Hey folks, I have a small fix for the Wiki:

The restructuring of the Wiki was based on an old version, meaning that the content it displayed was partially outdated. That issue got fixed, so all entries should be up to date now.

[dense pine]

Hello all!
I would like to populate a dropdown inside an item with values from its parent actor. The actor has a dynamic table and i would like to to only select the entries that are marked in this screenshot:

So the dropdown list the Keys (and labels):
EHK
SK
These are the ones that are listet as "active" in my dynamic table

How do i do that? Do i need to choose the "Dynamic Table" Option or the Formula Option?

[formal goblet]

Formula option with fetchFromParent("lookup(...)")

[formal goblet]

Huh, you're able to use ß in a component key? Interesting...

[next tangle]

Hello!
I'm trying to make a table with some constants to reference to. My approach is to make System actor and store every necessary consts there. To do so I have to fetch data from it and filter it. So I figured fetchFromActor is going to be handy. But I've got into problem with scripting feature. Seems like it doesn't work with arrays properly. Executing fetchFromActor('SysRefs', "alookup('The_Table', 'Dice')") returns an [0d6+0,1d6+2,1d6+2]. Then I tried to get an element by it's index, but I got an error. And I get the error even without accessing an element, just by returning an array.

%{return ${fetchFromActor('SysRefs', "alookup('The_Table', 'Dice')")}$}%

What am I doing wrong and what are good practices to store and get consts from ref tables?

[formal goblet]

fetchFromActor('SysRefs', "alookup('The_Table', 'Dice')") might return [0d6+0,1d6+2,1d6+2], but ${fetchFromActor('SysRefs', "alookup('The_Table', 'Dice')")}$ will return 0d6+0,1d6+2,1d6+2

[next tangle]

So I should just parse a string into array?

[formal goblet]

If you want to access by index, then try to use sameRowIndex() in the table itself and filter by it with alookup(). With this, you can guarantee to only get the row data you're interested in and not data from all rows

[formal goblet]

'${...}$'.split(',') would be possible, yeah

[next tangle]

I need to get an element by index, but the index is value from current actor. As far as I understand, it's not possible to inject values from current actor into fetch formula

[formal goblet]

You could actually: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/stable/en/Guides/Formula-System#execution-context

[next tangle]

Oh, now I see how it could be done. Something like ${fetchFromActor('SysRefs', concat("find('The_Table', 'Dice', 'Lvl', '", string(Atr_Str_Lvl), "')"))}$
Thank you.

[formal goblet]

Can be simplified to ${fetchFromActor('SysRefs', "find('The_Table', 'Dice', 'Lvl', '${Atr_Str_Lvl}$')")}$

[brave oar]

Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening when showing an item with a description in an Item Displayer? I'd like for it to link to specific journal entries, but it doesn't seem to like that.

[manic crypt]

The quick links like that only work in rich text areas or journal entries.

[brave oar]

So if I check "Use rich text editor for label" it should work?

[manic crypt]

I'm not sure, but I doubt it. That just applies inline css formatting to the label. You'd have to echo the item description to a separate RTA component.

[brave oar]

hmmm

Well I suppose I can just get rid of the links in the item descriptions, my brain is too smol to do much else

[manic crypt]

You could make a truncated description to be pulled into the item displayer and then have the verbose one on the item.

[plush maple]

Just curious while looking through the wikis. Are there any formula to make the Label Button into a toggle? Or would I have to use something else?

Like while active it applies a 1d6 to any roll and not active it just the regular roll? Or will I have to use the Radio Button to toggle things on and off?

[plush maple]

Nevermind my question for now. Just saw this link and going to read through it to see if I can formulate the toggle with this info. 🤩 Such helpful info!

[ruby spade]

Hey, going a bit crazy trying to figure this out... Weapon damage is stored in Component Key weaponDmgVal as a Number field. How do I modify the Edit Component column to show the damage value? From the Git instructions, it should look like the below screenshot, but this isn't showing any values. I'm sure the answer is obvious, but I can't figure it out...

[manic crypt]

${item.weaponDmgVal}$

When you're working in an item displayer you have to give it the context for where to find the key; if you call a key from the character sheet you can just use the key, but if it's coming from the item you have to tell it so; hence adding the item. to the front of it.

[ruby spade]

Ah, thanks!

[mint plaza]

Hey i wanted to ask if it is possible to link an items effects to a character without the character having to be selected or targeted on the map.

So apply a modifier without setPropertyInEntity(Selected)

[formal goblet]

What does "linking an items effect to a character" mean?

[mint plaza]

so i'm changing values with an item on a token with a formula that takes stats stored on the item and transfers those stats to a storage variable on the player, modifying their stats

[formal goblet]

And you do that with item modifiers or with setPropertyInEntity()? Because both do not work together at all

[mint plaza]

i do that with setPropertyInEntity()

but i don't know how to affect a character that isn't on the map

i would like to apply those effects to the charactersheet in the sidebar

[formal goblet]

1. You could switch to Item Modifier and Label (Actor) instead, adjusting the stat of your Actor as soon as the Item is dropped on the Actor (or with a Checkbox toggle in the Item)
2. You could use setValues() and fetch the UUID of the parent entity with a little script (because the uuid-property is only available with the next patch). The script would look like this %{return entity.entity.parent.uuid;}%

[mint plaza]

so i could replace the setPropertyInEntity() with setValues() and the UUID but that would limit the effect of that item to that singular actor right?

[formal goblet]

Uh, yeah. But is that an issue?

[mint plaza]

wait i think i misunderstood, the script would automatically fetch the parent uuid of the actor that is in possesion of it?

[formal goblet]

Yeah

[mint plaza]

oh yeah okay that's actually great then

[formal goblet]

Is there a reason why you use setPropertyInEntity() instead of Item Modifiers?

[mint plaza]

so i can have easily modifiable items

as well as being able to easily scour through all of the modifiers

[formal goblet]

I still don't see the reason against to be fair. They would modify your stats in your Actor automatically (and yes, you can make the modifier reference the stats of your item sheet)

[mint plaza]

hmm i will have to look into it

this doesn't seem to be working

[formal goblet]

Delimiters in value formula if you want to reference items stats instead of static values

[mint plaza]

gotta change my number fields to something else

to what kind of component do i have to change it so modifiers can be applied?

[formal goblet]

Label, Meters

[mint plaza]

ok i think it might be working now

item unequipping is done via checkbox and a switchcase in my formula right?

[formal goblet]

A ternary operator is enough: checkboxKey ? 'yes' : 'no'

[mint plaza]

that is a lot easier than the other method i implemented

well anyway thank you very much

[languid hornet]

Hey I think I'm doing something wrong, how do I fix this? I want a -1d6 to the total dice roll if a checkbox (key: dazed) is marked. But when I test it out only 1 dice gets rolled.
${!Roll:= '${!dazed ? '${[((1+:extraDie:-:lessDie:)d6)-1d6]}$' : '${[(1+:extraDie:-:lessDie:)d6]}$'}$' }$ <hr> ${!Roll >=4 ? 'Success!' : 'Failure!'}$

[formal goblet]

${#RollFormula:= '${!1 + extraDie - lessDie}$d6${!dazed ? "-1d6" : ""}$'}$
${Roll:= [:RollFormula:]}$

[languid hornet]

I tried copying it word for word but there are no rolls and nothing happens
ty for the help btw

[formal goblet]

corrected

[languid hornet]

still no rolls

[formal goblet]

check the console with F12

[languid hornet]

it shows this

[formal goblet]

corrected

[languid hornet]

It's working now! I apologize for the trouble and Thank you so much!!

it's not styled, but it's cleaned up and fully functional!

@cerulean trench you may consider something similar for your vessel system!

[cerulean trench]

https://tenor.com/view/monty-python-police-whats-all-this-then-cop-gif-19640759

[sinful spade]

i made a template for a "party sheet" that references values from other actors based on the selected dropdown.

some limitations with updating HP values for example, my first attempt had an abstracted health display (ex if health > 45% display healthy) - but it wouldnt update unless the dropdown was changed to another value and back.
wouldn't be too hard to make a button that got the value of each dropdown, changed it to blank, then reset it (as a manual refresh) -- but i'm too lazy and it wasn't necessary.

[formal goblet]

Any kind of sheet update would suffice, e.g. clicking on a random Checkbox.

[silver lake]

Is this the correct pathing to a number field in an item called 'Quantity'?

[formal goblet]

Seems so. You only have to consider, where the starting point of the path is and continue from there

[cerulean trench]

nice! anyway you might be able to share this so i can take a peak how its laid out? ive mostly got my sheet where i want it, but im curious how you laid out yours

[silver lake]

Doesn't seem to be working. I'll check the console.

[sinful spade]

oh really? 🤔 is there a way i can check for changes and force an update automatically?

[formal goblet]

World Script required

[silver lake]

Nothing, I'll try to figure out where I might be missing something

oh, nevermind, got it.

[sinful spade]

pretty much just a bunch of referencing components, the hard part was getting the top skills to layout and add emojis by them which you can see in the component.

[sinful spade]

im trying to learn JS as we speak... is there a function or something I need to look at?

[formal goblet]

If you want to listen to certain events within Foundry, then you have to use Hooks in 99% of cases.

[sinful spade]

I'll read up on them then, thanks!

[formal goblet]

It's basically all Foundry doc, so you can't look it up in CSB

[sinful spade]

actually martin while you're here i do have a CSB question

can i use 'not' equal text for a visability formula somehow?

!equalText() for example

[silver lake]

Did you ever figure this out? Stacks don't work for me in Griddy.

[formal goblet]

There's the not()-function from mathjs

[sinful spade]

Perfect, Thanks!

[formal goblet]

You might want to do CONFIG.Hooks.debug = true in the console to see, which kinds of Hooks exist, at which times they fire and what kind of data they provide.

[sinful spade]

excellent, playing with things is much easier to learn than reading docs

[formal goblet]

Yep. The rest is just syntax. You can take a look at a few examples with Hooks.on() in the macro polo channel to see, how to work with that

And also this: https://foundryvtt.wiki/en/basics/world-scripts

[sinful spade]

i figured i'd start by trying to build basic macros - add hp potion to selector actor's inventory, check if an item exists in actor inventory, use item.... etc

[silver lake]

So, it's been another while, and I forgot how to check if a dice rolled its max value in a label roll, and then if it did, for it to alter a value of a number field elsewhere in the sheet. I'm trying to find mentions of that here to help guide me.

[shy osprey]

@silver lake Nope unfortunately not. I was able to make Griddy do stacks but for some reason Item Piles didn't interprate those stacks as currency. If you are able to solve this at some point please share!

[silver lake]

Oh, but you were able to make griddy stack items of the same kind when they're placed in the inventory?

[shy osprey]

@fern Yeah it started showing a little white number at the corner of the icon. It had some problems (that I cannot remember cos I stopped doing it) but it definitely stacked them.

[silver lake]

Damn, I thought it wasn't even a feature at this point. I've tried to get stacks to work so many times.

I don't even know how to work with item piles, and currency is just something I keep track in other ways, too.

[broken pumice]

Hello !
Quick question, I have a Dynamic Table that can contain duplicate values for example [A, A, B, B, B, D, F, F] is there a formula or combination of formulas that would allow me to get each different value only once -> [A, B, D, F] in this case ?
or should I go through a Javascript script ?

[formal goblet]

There's no built-in for duplicate elimination, so script it is

[broken pumice]

I have this formula equalText(fetchFromUuid(find('item_displayer_name','uuid', 'name', item.name), "find('dynamic_table_name, 'dynamic_table_column', 'dynamic_table_column', '${field}$')"), field) which correctly return true or false in an Item Displayer row, but return an error when used in the Item filter formula of the Item Displayer.

I suspect that is because find(...) return null when not finding anything and that it is converted in the label but not in the formula ?
I'm not 100% sure of what is happening there...

[broken pumice]

I tried putting the find(...) function in a fallback, like this "fallback(find(...), 'Not found')", but it seems that the error is thrown before the fallback can be evaluated.

[mint plaza]

Is there a way to setPropertyInEntity for multiple targets at the same time?

or do fetchFromActor(target) with multiple targets?

[broken pumice]

You will have to use setValues https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/stable/en/Formulas/Functions/setValues

[mint plaza]

and using SetValues would make it do 2 calculations instead of one and then apply those seperately?

[broken pumice]

I'm not sure I understand the question, but I think the calculation would be made once for each object you want to update then apply for each one.

[mint plaza]

for example i have setPropertyInEntity(target, health, health-damage)

which doesn't work for multiple targets

but Set values would do the calculation for both the selected targets

[broken pumice]

Yes, it would

If you give it the Uuid of each target

[mint plaza]

how would i go about getting the uuid of the seperate targets?

but then again i don't think fetchFromActor() can take the stats from multiple targets either

[broken pumice]

when you say target, you want the currently targeted token on the scene right ?
give me a second

[mint plaza]

yes i mean the currently targeted token on the scene

but i want to apply damage to multiple targets at the same time

so AOEs don't have to click through damage for each target seperately

[broken pumice]

setValues(%{return game.user.targets.map(t => t.uuid)}%,'health', "target.health - damage")
I think something like this should work, but I am not sure if you can update an actor if you don't own it. So Player Characters might not be able to update the health of NPCs, but don't quote me on that.

[dense pine]

Can you guys please help me understand what this error message means? Happens when i drag an item in my actor.

[manic crypt]

A specific item, or any? Do you have a key called 'typ'?

[mint plaza]

hmm i changed the keys to the keys the actors and the item uses for damage and this happens

${setValues(%{return game.user.targets.map(t => t.uuid)}%,'HEALTH_DAMGE', "target.HEALTH_DAMAGE + PHYSICAL_DAMAGE")}$

[oblique willow]

Somehow I've gotten into an endless loop of all sheets recalculating themselves?

[broken pumice]

ok, so you need an array. You can try : ${setValues(%{return Array.from(game.user.targets).map(t => t.actor.uuid)}%,'HEALTH_DAMGE', "target.HEALTH_DAMAGE + PHYSICAL_DAMAGE")}$

[mint plaza]

the error is gone

and it did roll

[broken pumice]

My bad, you need to access the actor before being able to get the uuid. I've corrected the formula above

[mint plaza]

mow it created a different error

this is the output when targeting a single actor

[broken pumice]

I copy-pasted your initial formula, but you might want to check if "HEALTH_DAMGE" is a typo or the name of your key

[oblique willow]

In previous versions I had

${ref(initiative_select) + initiative_bonus}$

but it just seems to error out now. How would I reference the selected attribute in the current version? Initiative_select being a dropdown menu

[mint plaza]

Oh yeah that definitely is a typo sorry

[broken pumice]

what error do you get ?

[mint plaza]

single actor is working

multiple actors is spititng out the same error from earlier

while not applying the damage

[broken pumice]

You probably need to force the string into an array again. Try this : ${setValues(array(%{return Array.from(game.user.targets).map(t => t.actor.uuid)}%),'HEALTH_DAMGE', "target.HEALTH_DAMAGE + PHYSICAL_DAMAGE")}$

[oblique willow]

Uncomputable token, or somesuch

[broken pumice]

as long as the key field of your dropdown is the key to the attribute you want, it should work.

[mint plaza]

unfortunalety the new Formula still results in this error

[broken pumice]

I need to go eat at the moment, but I will look more into it after dinner.

[mint plaza]

Thank you very much

[formal goblet]

${#%{
localVars.uuids = Array.from(game.user.targets).map(t => t.actor.uuid);
}%}$

${setValues(uuids,'HEALTH_DAMAGE', "target.HEALTH_DAMAGE + PHYSICAL_DAMAGE")}$

[mint plaza]

seems to work and correctly apply the damage

now i will probably have to make an absolutely huge formula to check against, dodge,armor and resistences for the damage

Is there an equivalent of fetchFromActor(target) that i can use in my Formula to calculate the resulting damage from their stats, the weapons stats and the attackers stats?

target.[Key] should work right?

Do i have to calculate everything concerning the Targets in a single formula or can i split it off somehow
Like a hitchance versus the dodge of the 3 different targets
And then i continue the calculation in a different formula

Or do i have to calculate all of it in the same formula?

[fringe silo]

Im having an issue with item modifiers, on my sheet i have a label mightScore on the item I have a number field mightNum, my modifier is mightScore + mightNum, but its throwing errors in mightScore and everythin it attached to.

getting NaN as the error

mightScore starts as ${10}$

the formula should add 2 from my test race

[formal goblet]

Forgotten delimiters in the modifier itself?

[fringe silo]

So formula for the mod should be ${mightNum}$

ill see if that works when i get back to my computer

idont have to item.mightNum do i with it coming from the item

?

[formal goblet]

No, modifiers are computed with the properties of the item

[warm quartz]

I'm far (very far) from being a knowledgeable person on this subject, but I've been trying to use items for a few days and banging my head on walls. If I understand mightScore is on you character sheet & mightNum in the item displayer (and the item itself).
If you want to display mightScore + mightNum in the item displayer, then you'll need to use 'fetchfromActor' for mightScore as it is not a property of the item but from the character.
If you want to display mightScore + mightNum on the character sheet (but not in the item displayer), it becomes a bit more tricky as you will need to use 'lookup' to access the items properties from the character sheet.

[slow oyster]

Hello all!

I'm wondering if it is possible to have the results of a roll from a character sheet populate a text box directly instead of/in addition to sending it to the chat.

For example

This serial number button generates a random 6 digit number and sends it to the chat. Could it instead appear in the text field below the button?

[formal goblet]

You'll want to use setPropertyInEntity() or setValues() for that. Chat Message creation can be suppressed in the Label config

[slow oyster]

Huh, that's a little over my head. If it's not too much trouble, could you give me an example? (and if it is, I understand, I'll stumble through it until I figure it out)

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/stable/en/Formulas/Functions/setPropertyInEntity

[slow oyster]

Hey, thank you.

[fringe silo]

@formal goblet thanks for the help adding ${}$ to the formula worked

[slow oyster]

I'm sorry for my ignorance here, but I'd put setPropertyInEntity() into a macro and have the clickable label run the macro?

[formal goblet]

You put that into a Label Roll Message, no Macro needed

[slow oyster]

Cool! I got it to work with numbers, but now I'm having a challenge with roll table results.

${setPropertyInEntity('self', 'nameTextField', '[#Trooper Names]')}$

I can see this is rolling on the roll table because "Draw without replacement" is turned on and names are getting greyed out. But, it is neither displaying it in the chat nor putting it in the appropriate box.

Nevermind. Needed double quotes.

[slow oyster]

Hello again.

Running into another problem.

I need to roll a d10. I need to compare it to the value in a number field. I need it to display the value of the roll, so [d10cs<=:faBox:] wont work because the chat just displays a 1 or a 0.

Ideally, I'd love for it to say "Success!" or "Fail!" after parsing the result. I swear I have looked at the documentation, and while it might well be in there, I am not seeing it.

[raven spear]

Hello! Complete noob here attempting to try and find a way to add a Button on a character sheet that increases (as well as another one that decreases) the characters health by 1 everytime it is clicked.

I am using Custom System Builder, does anyone have any advice? It would be VERY helpful!

EDIT: I know how to add the button property, but not how to code it!

[peak jacinth]

You don't need separate buttons - you can just enable radial inputs on the health block itself.

[raven spear]

ok, how does one do that? I am a complete noob at this ^

[sinful spade]

Add it in a conditional.

${[Your code] == 1 ? 'Success!' : 'Failure!'}$

[peak jacinth]

Uhhh could you show me a screenshot of the health block itself? Sorry, I can't open CSB on my own computer because I'm on v13 ATM, but I can point you in the right direction if I see it

[sinful spade]

I have a tutorial on yt that covers exactly this

Un moment

[raven spear]

Alright ^

[raven spear]

using number field

[sinful spade]

https://youtu.be/b2XcMGpjLiY?si=GZxQgihFlbDPPXbL

48:42 ish

[raven spear]

Thanks !

[peak jacinth]

Oh, right, it's 'show field controls' on edit component.

[raven spear]

Thanks also!

[sinful spade]

Absolutely. Tho sometimes the buttons are still useful. I have multiple hard coded buttons on my sheet

You can demand their size, always see them, and change how much they're changing

[peak jacinth]

Yeah, I just assumed they were looking for field controls specifically xD

It is very useful to be able to edit components' values from other components, though, yeah

[sinful spade]

That's definitely the easiest option! Don't get me wrong, very useful for minor adjustments

[oblique spear]

I am attempting to create modifiers for weapons. As of now, I have 2 fields.

One is a number field, and one is a label field. The number field is Strength_Base, which is modifiable by the player as they earn stat points. The label field is Strength_Modifier. The modifier is used for the items I've created, and they work fine. The problems arise when I want to strictly add those bonuses if the item is equipped. I added a Conditional Modifier Group, then specifically used the Key for that specific Inventory and the specific Inventory equip key.

However, it will not work whatsoever. I've tried a handful of formulas.

W_Inventory_Equip === true ? 'Equipped' : ''
lookup('Weapon', 'W_Inventory_Equip', 'W_Inventory_Equip', true) ? 'Equipped' : ''
alookup('Weapon_Inventory', 'name', 'W_Inventory_Equip', '===', true).length > 0 ? 'Equipped' : ''
find('Weapons', 'W_Inventory_Equip', 'W_Inventory_Equip', true) ? 'Equipped' : ''
etc...

But none are working. Any ideas?

[formal goblet]

Conditional Modifier Groups are used for Conditional Modifier Lists. Using one without the other won't do much

[oblique spear]

Wait wait wait, I chose "Conditional Modifier Selector" for the type, I dont see "list" there.

Uhh, let me do some digging.

[formal goblet]

Ah, that's the right one. Forgot that it got renamed

[oblique spear]

Ya, I misquoted from the docs. But, here's a screenshot if it helps.

I triple checked the Inventory Names I have set up, and the keys are 👍🏻

[formal goblet]

Mouse over the info icon in the group filter formula

[oblique spear]

So, I was on the right track with

find('Weapon', 'W_Inventory_Equip', 'W_Inventory_Equip', true) ? 'Equipped' : ''

I did try this one before, but it didn't work either. Whats interesting is that the modifiers only stop working for items once I add the group. None of the formula's I provided worked either.

[formal goblet]

Try it without a group filter in the selector

[oblique spear]

The formula all together? If I remove it, the item still doesn't increase stats at all. I presume thats because its Group is "Equipped".

[formal goblet]

Yep, yeet the formula out

Once you do that, the selector should display all groups, that are in use and can be toggled on/off

[oblique spear]

What the heck

Thanks Martin

I overcomplicated that, SO much

[warped garnet]

Hi,
Stupid question but I can't find the answer 🙂 :

If I trigger a script from a PC/NPC datasheet made with CSB, how to get the corresponding token ?

(I want to display some text bubble above the character attacking)

[faint wharf]

how is v13 compatibility? any ETA?

[manic crypt]

Linked said it's going to be a bit, because he wants to go to appV2 compatability as well.

[faint wharf]

appv2?

[slow oyster]

What am I doing wrong here? In this game, players get an award for every 1000 aliens they kill:

${setPropertyInEntity('self', 'killBadgeBar', 'floor(:killsAllBox:/1000)')}$

I get an error with this one, and I cant quite figure out what I'm screwing up.

[manic crypt]

The key in the floor() doesn't need :: around it

[manic crypt]

Thats only for inside roll formulas.

[manic crypt]

Application v2, its a core Foundry API thing.

[slow oyster]

Thanks, worked like a charm

[faint wharf]

ok so overall improvement

[timid wing]

Hmm. I'm trying to reference the CSS of sheets with a certain template without effecting the template. However when I try to use the UUID of the template as a class I get a "bad selector" error.

Code on the right works, but affects the Template as well. Code on the left give a Bad Selector. UUID is: Actor.98WSmyPYHEDnRa5V. Tried a few different variations and can't seem to get it to work.

[sinful spade]

To clarify that the copied uuid is from the template?

But also the color of the component id classes aren't green when leads me to suspect that that's the issue

Weird that adding the code on the right works tho. Triple check the spacing between the two selectors - make sure it's not a tab or something?

Also silly goose question, have you refreshed the actor sheet, saved the css, and refreshed the page for good measure? 😅 Because the css looks fine except the spacing maybe

[formal goblet]

The CSS is actually not fine. Class names must start with an alphanumeric character and can't be a number (if not escaped)

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

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

[timid wing]

Whoops, should have caught that.

Works. 😄

Thanks.

!! I never knew that 😅 I always just heard that was best practice!!

[formal goblet]

I also wasn't completely sure. Seems like you can put almost anything into the identifier as long as properly escaped

Even emojies 😅

[glossy parrot]

So uh... Does a custom system builder exist?

[kind basin]

Hello all! Im trying to figure out what the path is to an item held in the players inventory and more specfically a variable called Num_Held in that item, so i can access it from another module. How could i go about finding this ?

[formal goblet]

Try this guide here: https://github.com/GamerFlix/foundryvtt-api-guide/blob/main/macro_guide.md

[formal goblet]

That's... uhm... yeah?

[kind basin]

I think i got it. haha.

[glossy parrot]

Cool, cool... So uh... What might that be called

[manic crypt]

Custom System Builder is the title of the system in the Foundry directory.

[glossy parrot]

Now you're pullin my leg

[manic crypt]

Search for it in the add system dialog.

[glossy parrot]

Well blow me down...

[pine stirrup]

Hello, I have a quick question for Custom system builder and I can't for the life of me figure out item displayer / Item displayer filter formula.

I looked up on the wiki but the answer honestly didn't help in the slightest.
" Q: When I drop an Item into an Item Displayer, it also appears in other Item Displayers. How do I prevent that?
A: First things first, Item Displayers are only displaying Item, they do not contain them. All Items are stored
in the Actor. Just compare Actors with backpacks carrying your Items and Item Displayers with windows only displaying
what is inside.
So back to the question... How can we prevent, that an Item gets displayed in other Item Displayers? With Filters! Every
Item Displayer has an option to configure Filters. Not only can you limit the Item Templates an Item needs in order to
be displayed, you can also specify a Filter Formula. In this case, your Formula has to resolve to true for the Item
to be displayed. For example: An Item has the checkbox with the key equipped. In order to display only equipped Items,
your Formula should be item.equipped (and not(item.equipped) for only unequipped ones). You can construct more
complex logical expressions with and and or, you only have to make sure that the result is either true or false."

Could someone please explain how this works, Pretty much I want it to filter via a template for an Item say example '_skills'

[hazy moon]

Hi guys I tink I have a problem

What can I do?

[formal goblet]

Downgrade. CSB has no release for V13 yet

[hazy moon]

I downgrade back to v12 343 closing but still showing me this

[glossy parrot]

Is it possible to have multiple different versions at the same time?

[hazy moon]

nvm

uptaded back the modules

and it's working now, thanks for the quick answer ❤️

[formal goblet]

It is, but you need a proper setup for that (e.g. Docker Containers).

[glossy parrot]

May I am have direction? Or is it a Google search away?

${#hitChance:=(([1d100]+(fetchFromActor('selected',"WEAPON_HANDLING_SKILL"))+HANDLING)*switchCase(RANGE_DROPDOWN,'CLOSE_RANGE',CLOSE_RANGE_MODIFIER,'NORMAL_RANGE',1,'LONG_RANGE',LONG_RANGE_MODIFIER))-(fetchFromUuid(uuids,'DODGE'))}$

is it possible to set a variable like this and then keep using it for more calculations for the different targets in an AOE attack?

[manic crypt]

The variables you set with := only exist for the duration of the roll message generation. As long as you are in the same roll message you can keep using hitchance as much as you like, but you'll have to use script to pull multiple targets like you would in a macro.

[mint plaza]

${#%{ localVars.uuids = Array.from(game.user.targets).map(t => t.actor.uuid); }%}$

multiple targets are pulled by this formula

but i get this error when executing it

`${#%{ localVars.uuids = Array.from(game.user.targets).map(t => t.actor.uuid); }%}$

${#hitChance:=(([1d100]+(fetchFromActor('selected',"WEAPON_HANDLING_SKILL"))+HANDLING)*switchCase(RANGE_DROPDOWN,'CLOSE_RANGE',CLOSE_RANGE_MODIFIER,'NORMAL_RANGE',1,'LONG_RANGE',LONG_RANGE_MODIFIER))-(fetchFromUuid('uuids','DODGE'))}$

${hitChance>=100?'Hit':'No Hit'}$`

this would be the thing i'm trying to test

it also doesn't work with a singular target

the same formula works when using setValues() instead of fetchFromUuid()

or am i using it wrong?

[manic crypt]

the documentation says to quote the first value in the command, so try it with ('uuids',...).

I would think that it would have a problem with an array though.

setValues is designed for an array input, so that's probably the difference there.

You might have to go to script with it and use a .forEach to make it work with multiple targets.

[warm quartz]

You can have two kinds of filters. The first is a filter by template. So if you only want your skills in the item display, this is the place to do it.
The second is by a formula, you'll only display what is true (in my case, I just want items that have 'Held/Worn' in a dropdown menu (this menu can't be displayed as such in the item displayer, you'll only see a label, but you can change it by clicking on your item).

The list of templates is automatically updated when you create a new one. And yes, I created a whole lot of them just for the sake of filtering them.

[formal goblet]

The script above returns an Array. An Array is a collection-type, which contains multiple values. An Array can also hold only 1 value or even none, but that doesn't change the fact, that it will still be an Array, even if it contains only 1 value.

fetchFromUuid() expects a String in the form of a UUID as the first argument. But you supplied an Array instead, so it errors

That's why every function mentioned in the Wiki has a Signature in the header describing 2 very important things:

1. What does the function expect (input parameters)
2. What does the function return (output)

[mint plaza]

ok so is there a different way of doing that?

[formal goblet]

You either use setValues() in perform all necessary calculations within the formula-part of it (because that can reference the stats of the individual targets) or you use a script an loop through all targets and apply updates all by yourself

[storm rain]

I have a quick question.

I'm trying to have a Meter show a number based on another value that would be given in a table.
The Body score should be a variable, as it would be changed mid-game.

As an Example:
Body Score = 1 -> Meter shows -5
Body Score = 3 or 4 -> Meter shows 0

What would be the easiest way to do this?

Oh, and if it would be possible to reference the number the Meter shows.

[formal goblet]

Basically this: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/stable/en/Guides/Formula-System#conditions

[formal goblet]

The current value of the Meter can be accessed like with any other Component, with the Component key

[sinful spade]

Check the yt tutorial, I briefly cover that and custom filters

[pine stirrup]

Thank you! I see my issue I thought the templates shown where ones setup already via the example and not drawn from templates you make. So I was trying to figure out what the formula was for the templates ( cause I couldn't find any where that it mentioning in the wiki that the filters will auto gen on creation of a new item template)

[warm quartz]

Glad to help, I spent a few days last week banging my head on walls just to set my first item displayers. Now I'm trying to figure how to use them to make a multiple containers inventory (with one displayer per container and items 'moving' from one to another).
Once you start to understand how they work you can do some pretty cool things with items.

[faint wharf]

hi my column makes unneseserry rolls, any idea how to make it just roll one i need? ${switchCase(MAGK, '1', [1d10], '2', [2d10], '3', [3d10], 0)+magt}$

[formal goblet]

https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/stable/en/Guides/Formula-System#conditions

[faint wharf]

so recomendation is nested ifs?

nested ifs did the same

[warm quartz]

A roll formula will roll all the dice at first, then apply the rules. Best way would be to use ${[:MAGK:d10]}$ instead of a switchcase or nested ifs. Foundry will resolve the MAGK as a number then roll this number of dice. I'm not 100% sure of the syntax but it should do the trick.

[faint wharf]

i can just hard input dice numbers?!

[faint wharf]

i lost so much time in various places and there was such dumb proof solution.....thankyouuuu

[dusky oriole]

Can anyone help me with a problem I have? I have a game system, where you roll 2d10, but can have up to 3 disadvantage/advantage dice (roll up to 5 dice, take the lowest/highest 2).
Does anyone know, how to write a Label roll message formula for that? I have the additional dice in a radio (-3 to +3)

[faint wharf]

maybe something like mine? Poziom mocy z modyfikatorem ${?{add|0}}$ ${[:2+add:d10]}$

just replace text field with radio

[dusky oriole]

Well yes, but that is just 5 dice rolled then. Not roll 5, take highest 2

[warm quartz]

I guess the 'keep X dice' is the tricky part. You'll have to define the roll outside the roll formula.

[faint wharf]

you mean h2?

${?{add|0}}$
${[:2+add:d10h2]}$

[dusky oriole]

I dont think this works

[faint wharf]

sorry not theat system. but there was shortcut to keep highest

kh?

${?{add|0}}$
${[:2+add:d10kh2]}$ it worksd i testeds

[dusky oriole]

thanks a bunch. This is huge

[faint wharf]

you can replace add with radio options.

[dusky oriole]

ah and what about take lowest 2?

[warm quartz]

It won't work at the -2 /-3 . You'll have less than 1 die to roll. Also is the number of advantages/ disadvantages is stored somewhere ?

[faint wharf]

KL

[warm quartz]

You'll need two different formula.

[dusky oriole]

The number of disadvantages/advantages would just be a radio button on top of the abilities

[dusky oriole]

I see. Well, that makes it a little bit more complicated then

[faint wharf]

if i understand correctly with :: you can injest also number of advatages or even if you do low or hi

${?{add|0}}$
${?{rot|0}}$
${[:2+add:d10kh:rot:]}$

you can same place something do choose if its KH OR KL (keep low keep hi)

[formal goblet]

${#additionalDices:= selection}$
${#rollMod:= selection < 0 ? 'kl' : selection > 0 ? 'kh' : ''}$
${[:2+additionalDices:d20:rollMod:2]}$

[warm quartz]

Otherwise use the label text to 'create' your roll formula :

Martin522's way is better.

[faint wharf]

showof! 😄 i was almost there 😄

[warm quartz]

I still tend to use brute force to get the result I want, but there are better ways to do it.

[faint wharf]

Question. was anyobody able to create roll with reroll mechanik? i never seen even one. I know it requires sequencer or something, but i would love to see example to reproduce

[warm quartz]

You can have a reroll and add, but not reroll and substact.

[faint wharf]

dont follow

[warm quartz]

[1d10xo10] will roll a d10 and if you roll a 10 it will reroll and add (only once). But in Cyberpunk when you roll 1, you need to roll another die and substract the result.

[1d10x10] will keep rolling and adding as long as you roll a 10

[faint wharf]

on reroll i ment ...luck mechanics. so you redo roling.

[warm quartz]

I don't know how to do the roll 1 then reroll & substract (making your roll worse) in a roll formula. I guess it is only possible in a macro.

[warm quartz]

The only way I know is to click on your label again so that It will roll again.

Such a luck mechanic should not be automatic, a player might not want to waste a luck point on a trivial roll. Better to keep luck points for life threatening situations.

[faint wharf]

i love when they use it up 😄 we have special mechanic that gives me posibility to force them to reroll good rolls when they use to much luck 😄

critical hit? Oh it would be sad if...yee reroll it

[dusky oriole]

you cannot use raw javascript inside label text fields, correct?

For example if you wanted to populate and filter an array by getting the highest number from that array

[formal goblet]

You can actually: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/stable/en/Guides/Formula-System#script-expressions

[dusky oriole]

can anyone explain, why

${8+[:max(AUS,INT,VER):]*2}$

is not a valid number?

AUS INT and VER are numbers

[formal goblet]

what's the error message?

And you don't need [] as this is not a Roll Formula

[dusky oriole]

without the brackets I get an Error

[formal goblet]

Open the console with F12

[dusky oriole]

I get a "Value expected" error message

But the three values all have a value

[formal goblet]

I need the full message. A screenshot would be good

[dusky oriole]

Does this help?

[formal goblet]

Colons out

[dusky oriole]

okay, somehow it wont format

[formal goblet]

Musst einfach nur die Doppelpunkte aus der Formel entfernen

[dusky oriole]

Ah

Greetings all! I've been using Sandbox for about a year, and I'm considering moving over to CSB. While I do like Sandbox, it hasn't been updated in a year and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Before I make the jump, I have a few questions:

1. How compatible is CSB with other modules? This has been a pain point with Sandbox, and I'm hoping that CSB is a bit more flexible (bonus points if I can get Automated Animations to work!)

2. Are there any newbie pitfalls I should be wary of? I have a lot of roll expressions I'll need to somehow convert, but I don't want to overdo it.

3. I'm not a coder/programmer, but I've managed to hammer out a system in Sandbox. Is CSB fairly comparable in ease of use/complexity?

Thanks ahead of time for your responses!

I would like to check the condition of a Rich Text Area Field, wether it has text inside or is empty. Can anyone tell me how?

There is [1d10r1] which will reroll any 1s once and [1d10rr1] which will reroll 1s until there are no more 1s in the result.

.1. and 2. are covered here: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/stable/en/Home#troubleshooting. You can also scroll up in the chat a bit to see, what is commonly asked.
.3. It's fairly easy without using calculations. With calculations, the complexity rises with the amount of calculations, but that's natural. What you can do is described here: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/stable/en/Guides/Formula-System

[formal goblet]

Show me how you've done it

[formal goblet]

The RTA might contain <p></p>, even though it looks empty. Validate that by switching to the HTML-view of the RTA

[dense pine]

and after that equalText should work?

[formal goblet]

If you do a comparison with the initial state of an RTA, then yeah

[dense pine]

Is there a better way to check? Maybe the RTA had text which was deleted, then <p></p> could mess it up again.

[formal goblet]

Not really. You can check for multiple states, but that's it. You have to know, which content you consider empty and which not and explicitly check for that

[mint plaza]

average damage formula 💀

[formal goblet]

Well, that's a hell of a formula

[mint plaza]

had to make it that big so everything can be done inside of the setValues so AOE attacks work

[formal goblet]

Yeah, naturally.

[languid hornet]

I made a simple sheet for a highly 'intellectual' game called "Goblin with a Fat Ass" I also added a compendium in module form so you guys can just drag and drop class and equipment. Thank you to everyone that helped!
Edit: needs Custom CSS module for the css, just copy the contents of the css file

[oblique willow]

And you chose to inflict it upon the rest of us?

[cold swift]

I am missing some very obvious syntax here but I cannot for the life of me find out whats wrong

do I have to put parentheses or something around Str

I swear I've tried everything

[sinful spade]

I dont have the code infront of me now, but I counted the length of a text input field once and checked if it was > 0. I dont know if the same is possible with RTA

[mint plaza]

i think rolls need to be in []
so that 1d4 should be [1d4]

[cold swift]

thankyou

can I make it roll 1dStr somehow

like if str is 4 make it 1d4 str=6 is 1d6 ect

[formal goblet]

${[1d:Str:]}$

[cold swift]

ty!!!!

[mint plaza]

is there a way of adding formatting to the setvalue rolls?

[formal goblet]

Depends on the formatting. I've made it this way to have a way of debugging to see, which values are being set

[mint plaza]

well i was hoping i could have a bit space between the different characters it targets so it's easier to read

so instead of character => damage, character => damage

character => damage
character => damage

[formal goblet]

Wrap it with replaceAll(setValues(...), ', ', '<br>')

[mint plaza]

thank you, will try it out

[mint plaza]

worked perfectly 👍

[warm quartz]

I have a big roll formula for rolling skills and showing results in an table in the chat but I haven't been able to add colors for the result (SUCCESS, FAILURE, etc.).
I tried html code, CSS, using variable declared outside the table but none of it did work. Either I get errors (often because I need double quotes) or no colors.
Is there a way to do it ?

[formal goblet]

CSS should do the trick.

try <td style="color:red"></td> in one of your data cells

[warm quartz]

Will try again with CSS. Is there a way to use double quotes inside a formula ? Because it's the most common error I got when trying to get colored text.

[faint wharf]

Ok question. did anyone achieve putting damage on for example targeted enemy? untill now all i did was manual. Second question if that was a yes did anyone made atack with for example button to parry?

[formal goblet]

https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_strings.asp

[formal goblet]

It's possible to apply damage to a target with setPropertyInEntity() or setValues(). Just be careful that whoever does that, needs permission for updating the target

[faint wharf]

Thats one good information. What about second issue? had you any idea about for example parrying? I have idea (workaround if there is no good alernative) for atacks to become items on targeted character (holding damage data modifieres etc) and for player to use buttons to parry (succesful destroys item) (unsuccesfull put damage). would it work?

[formal goblet]

Whatever you do, the second one will require substantial scripting if it's not just a Button with a parry roll on the enemy sheet

[faint wharf]

i already treat damage as items to heal each one seperatly. if i make seperate view for impending atacks in charavter sheet it if i create item those would be just scripts on item.

actualy i can use same items!

[warm quartz]

As soon as I use double quotes, the roll throws an error.
Currently the result cell contains a formula : <th>${!Roll <= round(SkillVE/10) ? 'CRITICAL' : Roll <= max(min(SkillVE, 95), 5) ? 'SUCCESS' : Roll <= FumbleVE ? '<td style="color:red">FAILURE</td> : '<td style="color:red">FUMBLE</td>'}$</th>
I guess i'll try moving the formula outside the table and fill a variable with the formated result.

[formal goblet]

I see. Try to surround it with escapeQuotes()

[faint wharf]

i did it like this <div style="color:${switchCase(item.jakosc, '-5', 'red','0' , 'black','5', 'dimgrey', '10', 'darkgoldenrod')}$";> <h3>${item.name}$</h3> </div>

[warm quartz]

Thanks, I finally managed to get the result I wanted.
I did create a few variables (less code to repeat) and used \ just before the double quote so that they are accepted. I might tweek a bit to use different colors, but it works.
${#Failure:='<td style="color:red">Failure</td>'}$
${#Fumble:='<td style="color:red">FUMBLE</td>'}$
${#Critical:='<td style="color:green">CRITICAL</td>'}$
${#Success:='<td style="color:green">Success</td>'}$

<th>${!Roll <= round(SkillVE/10) ? Critical : Roll <= max(min(SkillVE, 95), 5) ? Success : Roll <= FumbleVE ? Failure : Fumble}$</th>

If you have to use a quote or double quote inside a string (text variable), just put a backslash () in front of each quote/double quote. I tried with a slash (/), that was wrong. https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder#44-use-text

[faint wharf]

i ask gor sugestion. as i list all damage dealt what would be better. holding it in dynamic table or as items? i dont want to bloat system

[formal goblet]

Probably Dynamic Table, but can't tell for sure, because I've never run performance tests for this system

[faint wharf]

I understand. but i wanted to confirm as i already have like 30 wounds (many healed on a players) and thats go for all characters even npc. we will have same amount of columns. as fields in item. so would 30entry table be better that 30 added items to character. multiplied by npc amounts 😄

ok before i go further. can i make roll create new line in the table?

[formal goblet]

Yeah, but requires a script

[faint wharf]

ok so you found my achilles heel. No example to rip off?

[jolly kettle]

hey all, wondering if custom system builder is updated to a point i'd be able to fully build a system in more up to date versions of foundry?

and additionally -- if anyone could direct me to a place/person for coaching/help because my system might be really hard to adapt

[formal goblet]

Basically this: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/blob/develop/src/module/sheets/components/DynamicTable.ts?ref_type=heads#L613

[formal goblet]

The latest release of CSB is for Foundry V12. The update to V13 will take a while. And if you need help, you can ask here. That's what the channel is for

[crystal finch]

This may be a bit long and I have absolutely no coding experience, so bear with me:
The first image is the stat screen. The second number is a number field component, and is meant to be edited by players as they choose what stats they want to increase as they level up. The first number is a label component, which is meant to change as items or other buffs adjust their stats. Effectively, it is supposed to be their "current" stats, after taking into consideration outside changes (though it is currently not in a working state).
The second image is the inventory screen, but to make things simpler, the armor is what I was planning to test since it is supposed to directly change the defense stat. The template for armor is an item template (obviously) and it's stored in an item displayer on a separate tab in a tabbed panel component.
What I need help with is figuring out how to add the stat value to the armor, then make it so that by clicking the equip button, that the current stats will change on the stat screen (instead of just having the stats change simply by having the item in the inventory). I'm completely lost on this, so any help is appreciated.

[formal goblet]

You need Item Modifiers if you want, that your Items should modify the stats of your actor. Just use a formula like ${equipped ? defense : 0}$ in there.

[crystal finch]

I forgot to mention; The "Equipped" button is effectively just a visual here, it has no functional use besides being able to be checked and unchecked. Does the formula take into consideration the functionality of the "Equipped" button, or is there another step I should do?

[formal goblet]

You need a Checkbox in the Item itself or some other input Component, which saves the equipped state

[crystal finch]

Just to make sure: this is the formula for the "current stats" number. The item modifiers aren't working, so I'm wondering if the formula is conflicting with the item modifier formula.

[formal goblet]

It doesn't

But you should at least use default values in your number fields

I don't see the need to add by 0. It's a neutral operation, so it can be removed

[crystal finch]

Ah, I was worried that it would just always keep the number in the number fields on the label, instead of being modified, if it didn't have the + 0.

[formal goblet]

Labels can be modified regardless of what their content is

[crystal finch]

The item modifier formula isn't changing any numbers on the stat screen, even though I tested out both the default one you sent and swapping out the variables with the correct component keys.

[formal goblet]

Then show me the component key of the label you want to modify, the item modifier and all keys of the item you use in the modifier.

[crystal finch]

The images are in order. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by all keys of the item I want to use. As in, the component keys in the template?

[formal goblet]

The key in the modifier doesn't match the Label you want modify

[crystal finch]

Oh, the key in the item modifier should be the same as the key in the label?? I thought that'd conflict, or does the key in the item modifier not create an entirely new key?

[formal goblet]

It doesn't conflict. You actually have to enter the matching key

[crystal finch]

Right, that worked. Thanks, I appreciate you for bearing with me

[formal goblet]

Np

[crystal finch]

Really quickly, for the "Equipped" button, I basically took the structure of the button in the example template and put it over in my own, without it functioning to fit my template, which is here. Can I edit something in the component for the button to make it function with the item modifier, or would I have to put another component somewhere? If that's the case, would I have to put the component in the item or could I put it somewhere else in the inventory?

[formal goblet]

This snippet expects a Checkbox with the key Active in the Item

[crystal finch]

Ahh, I see, in the example item. Okay, thanks a lot, I would've been banging my head against a wall for hours

[crystal finch]

Is it possible to modify a Label roll message with an item modifier?

[formal goblet]

No. Why would you need that?

[crystal finch]

On the items I've made, you can roll its damage by clicking a button. There are stats on a character's sheet that would modify its damage, so I was wondering if there was a way to add that stat's modifier to the damage button. When I tried to just add the component key (for the stat damage modifier) to the Label roll messaage formula itself, it didn't work, so I thought you might have to do it on the item modifier menu.

[formal goblet]

You must save the damage mod in a Label or hidden Attribute then

[crystal finch]

I have it saved on the character sheet, but not on the item. These are my formulas (the key in the formula is the key of the dependency).

[formal goblet]

Use ! at the beginning of the second formula. And I think that whitespaces are not allowed inside []

[crystal finch]

${[1d120+100 +!${M_Weapon_ATK_Dependency}$]}$

I wrote it out like this, but it isn't working. Did I make a mistake somewhere?

[formal goblet]

! must go inside ${}$

[crystal finch]

Ah

${[1d120+100+${!M_Weapon_ATK_Dependency}$]}$

This didn't work either

[formal goblet]

Open the console with F12

[crystal finch]

Okay

What next?

[formal goblet]

What's the error message?

[crystal finch]

There's no error message being sent. The roll message isn't actually being sent into chat, the button just does nothing with the inputted formula.

Clicking on the button doesn't send an error message either

[formal goblet]

Then there must be an error in the console

[crystal finch]

Wait

I'm a moron

[formal goblet]

Your key doesn't exist or doesn't have a value

[crystal finch]

This is the key on the sheet template

Does the component need to be a different type?

[formal goblet]

Label is fine. From where is the damage rolled?

Actually, do you have scope and formula at the bottom of the error message?

[crystal finch]

I don't think so. This is the whole error message.

[crystal finch]

The damage is rolled on a button on the weapon itself, not the character sheet.

[formal goblet]

And the atk-mod is on the actor sheet? That won't work, because Item and Actor are separate entities. By default, you only have access to the properties of the currrent entity

[crystal finch]

The attack modifier is on the actor sheet, since its value is modified by stats on the actor sheet. If that's the case, then manual math can just be my back-up

Thanks for the help again

[formal goblet]

You can use fetchFromParent() to fetch stats from the parent entity: https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/stable/en/Formulas/Functions/fetchFromParent

[obtuse birch]

hi, i'm in a bit of a pickle.
this is a inline script that i put inside a label to automate a skill roll.
and it works, the only problem is that in the chat happer 2 messages one with the result of the script, the other is an error.
i cant understand why and how to solve it.

[verbal portal]

Hello
Some of you had problems with CSB on the new version of Foundry running on The Forge' server?

[formal goblet]

Disable chat message creation in the label config

[formal goblet]

CSB has no release for V13

[obtuse birch]

thx

[verbal portal]

Ehm... I am fucked...how I can get back from the last Foundry Release?

[formal goblet]

On Forge? Dunno

[verbal portal]

No on Foudry

[formal goblet]

You usually reinstall the other version and use a backup

[verbal portal]

Ok I'll try

The best version for CSB is ? The 11?

[formal goblet]

V12

[rocky sable]

Is there going to be one?

[manic crypt]

Linked says it's going to be a bit because he's trying to make it AppV2 compatible in the process.

[candid badger]

I need some help.

If I use the following ${Roll==20? 'Failure' : 'Success'}$ I get the appropriate response on a roll. This was my troubleshooting test. When I attempt to put what I actually want ${Roll<20? 'Failure' : 'Success'}$ I get ERROR.

Why?

[formal goblet]

What's the error in the console?

It converts it if you use the Rich Text Editor

[candid badger]

Ah...that is what I am using. How can I get that to work if still using the rich text editor?

[formal goblet]

Manually convert it back

[candid badger]

So no using Rich Text Editor when attempting formulas like this?

[formal goblet]

You could, you just have to make sure, that you convert these parts back when leaving the editor 😅

[candid badger]

Ugh...I just realized that right after I typed it.

[silver depot]

Having issues with loading the Game World with this system but getting a error message about "Requires Dependencies:" without any explanation.

[formal goblet]

The module "Chat Commander" is required

[jolly kettle]

okay, as an update on my prior message -- i went through and cleaned up my system to a point i feel its more presentable to an outside perspective. i have very little knowledge of javascript/coding, but i am willing to learn if someone else with more knowledge thinks it'd be feasible to implement via CSB, or put into foundry at all.

given my cluelessness/ignorance of what this seems to require, i dont really have any way of knowing whether something is truly possible or not. i can link to the trello & to an example character sheet for my system, or am super open to explaining as much as possible

apologies, i know this probably is not the best approach to CSB, i just have been really interested in exploring foundry as a platform for my system and migrating from google sheets, but i think it'd be best for my sanity if i figured out how feasible it'd be through someone more experienced before spending days to weeks on something that might not be the right option

looking through the gitlab it seems like it would be, but i don't know exactly how far it can be taken and i certainly have no idea how capable i am of working through it 😅

[plush maple]

So i am getting an error for a dropdown option. Kind of want what a player picks for a drop down to appear as the Label not the Key information. Is there anyway to fix that?
The code I have is <b>Ancestry:</b> ${charAncestry}$ do I add a .label? or something else.

[formal goblet]

You can't get the Label option of the Dropdown, it's just a visual representation.

[plush maple]

Gotcha. 👍🏽 Good to know

[formal goblet]

I've also used google sheets prior and then switched to CSB. Some knowledge about basic concepts of common programming languages is more than enough for this system to come far. At the end, it comes down to your use cases ofc, but that's hard to evaluate if you're starting from 0. Maybe the example module can help you figure out, if the system is feasible for you or not: https://foundryvtt.com/packages/custom-system-builder-example

[plush maple]

I feel like I am doing this string of code wrong. But not sure which parts I need to fix or look at in the wiki to find the solution. If I do multiple strings it makes multiple numbers but if I make one string it doesn't work as I thought.
${statDEX <= 2 : 25; statDEX >= 6 : 35; 30}$
Basically the stat equal or lesser than 2 makes the move speed 25, but if not then 30. Then also checking if the stat is equal or greater than 6 then it makes the move speed 35. But if it is not it still becomes 30.

[manic crypt]

${statDEX <= 2 ? 25 : statDEX >= 6 ? 35 : 25}$

${ IF ? THEN : ELSE}$

or, in your case: ${IF ? THEN : IF? THEN : ELSE}$, you can string them that way.

[plush maple]

OH okay! I can't believe I forgot the code ? part

thank you lol

[manic crypt]

No problem, have fun with it!

[plush maple]

I swear i need a rubber duck at times lol.

[manic crypt]

That's basically what the channel is like for me sometimes. I was working on a sheet and about five or six times I typed in my question then figured out what I was doing wrong just by seeing it typed here instead of in VSC.

[ruby spade]

Hey, I've got a handful of PCs built but the game we're playing has variable health (HP) values for each player. But in order for the attribute bars to work on the tokens, I have to set a maximum value on the attributes in question in the template. Is there a way to set individual maximum values per actor, without having to create a separate template for each actor?

[vagrant hollow]

Simply create a numberfield for the maxHP of the character. Then use the key of this numberfield in the max column for the actuallHP numberfield.
Eg: ${maxHP}$
You can hide it from the players – if they are not allowed to change this.

[mint plaza]

is there a way to get the attribute keys that other foundry modules use?

like if i have a component key called movement how do i get the attribute key so i can use it in a module like drag ruler

[manic crypt]

Script notation returns them.

[formal goblet]

• https://gitlab.com/custom-system-builder/custom-system-builder/-/wikis/stable/en/Guides/Formula-System#variables
• https://github.com/GamerFlix/foundryvtt-api-guide/blob/main/macro_guide.md#basic-foundry-infrastructure

[manic crypt]

So like if you were looking for system.attributes.movement, you could use %{return system.attributes.movement}%

Martin is, of course, the master of the appropriate links 🙂

[mint plaza]

ok neither actor.system.props.MOVEMENT
nor %{return system.attributes.MOVEMENT}%
seem to work

MOVEMENT by itself also doesn't work and doesnt matter if i add ${ brackets or %{ brackets

[manic crypt]

Ah, I think I misunderstood what you were asking about. Are you sure you can see MOVEMENT in the console at actor.system.props.MOVEMENT? Like you can assign the stat in a sheet, go to the console for an actor with it and see it?

[mint plaza]

hmm MOVEMENT and "MOVEMENT" also doesn*t work

[manic crypt]

yup, there it is.

I'm not sure exactly then, does Drag Ruler have some specific requirements for it?

[mint plaza]

if they do then i haven't seen them

[manic crypt]

oh, maybe you want MOVEMENT.value

[mint plaza]

i'll try

[manic crypt]

as in the whole path for it though
