lets take it here

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 5:15 PM

#

Okay

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 5:15 PM

#

AC5e disadvantage all flag

#

So

I don't think I did, I made a heal activity, and under its effects I created an applied effect

And then you apply the effect on a target

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 5:17 PM

#

Yup, when the activity is used by the actor, the effect is placed on them

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 5:18 PM

#

Make sure that the flag is correct.
flags.automated-conditions-5e.all.disadvantage

#

the mode can be whatever, it doesn't matter, but I suggest to use Custom

#

Does the actor happen to have advantage maybe for some reason at the same time?

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 5:20 PM

#

Even fully copy/pasting it, same result
No, this sheet is largely empty. Just a few test items, none which affect advantage/disadvantages

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 5:21 PM

#

If you hover over the highlighted button, does it show anything like mine?

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 5:21 PM

#

And just for the sake of validity, the module is indeed installed

#

None

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 5:23 PM

#

OK, just open up a character sheet by selecting a token on the map and pressing C.
Go to Effects tab, create a new one, add the flag as above, save it and then try rolling from that same ~~actor~~ character sheet

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 5:25 PM

#

Oh that's odd, it works when I do it like that

#

I did the exact same thing to the one I'm working on too and it didn't work, but with one on the map, it did

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 5:26 PM

#

You need to have tokens on the map to work properly

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 5:27 PM

#

Oh, ok. I'll place the one I'm testing with down

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 5:28 PM

#

It will be changed to some extent on a future v14 release, to work with sidebar actors too without tokens placed, but that by definition will be lacking in functionality.

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 5:28 PM

#

That's peculiar, I wonder why it's required. Might be a gaming mindset I'm not used to with tokens on a specific map having different effects than the same characters tokens on another map

#

I do wonder though, if it were to last for my entire next turn, is this a good thing to set?

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 5:31 PM

#

You need 1 round and 1 turn

#

It is required because this is how the module has been built.

There are specific data, like distance or visibility checks, which are only available when there are tokens on the map.

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 5:38 PM

#

Hmm, it works now, but I'm having some other oddities. When I apply the feat to myself, despite being created in the feats activity, it auto-enables the effect onto the character. If I set it to suspend effect, it doesn't activate even if I use the activity, and if I uncheck apply to actor, it just doesn't apply at all

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 5:43 PM

#

pale marsh Hmm, it works now, but I'm having some other oddities. When I apply the feat to ...

So that has to do with how you want to apply the effect on the target

#

The system deals with effects like Rage, which are meant to be applied to self, by checking the Apply to actor and suspending them

#

So the user will need to unsuspend it to get the bonuses of the Rage effect

#

If you look at something like Bless for example, which is a temporary effect, it is linked to an activity and is meant to be applied using the effect application tray on the "targets" of that activity

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 5:48 PM

#

Hm, so one has to manually unsuspend the effect for something like rage?

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 5:48 PM

#

That is the intention yes

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 5:48 PM

#

I notice it's structured similarly to how I set my feat up, albeit via the use activity rather than heal

#

Fair enough. Does this mean that there's not really a way to automatically unsuspend effects via activities?

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 5:50 PM

#

Hmm. Let me actually check the PHB Rage as I don't recall the setup

#

Yeah you can use the activity and then use the application tray to unsuspend it

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 5:52 PM

#

Application tray? (I know ya mentioned it regarding bless, but I'm not actually familiar with it)

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 5:54 PM

#

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 5:55 PM

#

Oh, I hadn't even noticed that

#

Oh wow, that's awesome actually

#

And it'll automatically re-suspend after the allotted time?

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 5:58 PM

#

it deletes the temporary if you use something like Times Up for combat encounters or modules like Calendaria for time keeping (modules)

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 5:59 PM

#

We don't have those, but we do have Carousel combat tracker

#

Looking at AC5e in general, honestly pretty cool stuff here

#

Some of the documentation is a teeny bit confusing though. Some more examples would be nice, trying to get flags.automated-conditions-5e.all.extraDice.bonus=x2 to work, but I think I'm doing it wrong

#

Oh I'm silly, the bonus bit is the value

#

Ty very much for your help for this. I appreciate it a ton

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 6:22 PM

#

pale marsh Some of the documentation is a teeny bit confusing though. Some more examples wo...

I am working on some v14 additions which will make it easier to deal with those, but there are too many stuff to properly document in the WIKI.

#

Document in a way that is understandable by everyone at least 😅

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 6:23 PM

#

It's definitely decently documented overall, I just couldn't discern that some things were a value vs part of the key

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 6:25 PM

#

The flag keys are mostly of the type:
flags.automated-conditions-5e.ACTIONTYPE.MODE
flags.automated-conditions-5e.aura.ACTIONTYPE.MODE
flags.automated-conditions-5e.grants.ACTIONTYPE.MODE
with some exceptions like the modifyAC, range

#

Then the conditions and the explicit bonus/modifier/set etc go into the effect change's value

#

If you use DAE module and its active effects sheet, the keys will be auto completed

#

(For v14 in one of the next releases, the autocompletion will be done by AC5e itself when DAE is not active.)

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 6:28 PM

#

Auto completed?
And from the looks of it, we do not currently have DAE present

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 6:29 PM

#

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 6:29 PM

#

Oh, that's neat

#

Also, is there a way to modify existing flat bonuses? Or to multiply the overall values (dice and flats) akin to a critical, but using a custom multiplier?

#

I may have missed it but haven't seen it in the github page yet

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 6:31 PM

#

flags.automated-conditions-5e.damage.modifier with modifier=*2 for example?

#

If you want, join my discord (link in my profile), where I have more examples of functionality too

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 6:34 PM

#

azure oasis `flags.automated-conditions-5e.damage.modifier` with `modifier=*2` for example?

Seems to work, although it removes the "+ #" bit in the roll results

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 6:35 PM

#

azure oasis If you want, join my discord (link in my profile), where I have more examples of...

I'd consider it if discord had a higher server limit >_>

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 6:35 PM

#

lol

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 6:36 PM

#

It's only 100, 200 with nitro, but I lack it and I'm very bad at leaving servers

#

(Speaking of, I set my pfp to this for new years, but discord changed it so you can't even select gifs without nitro, so I can't revert to my normal one xd)

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 6:38 PM

#

azure oasis `flags.automated-conditions-5e.damage.modifier` with `modifier=*2` for example?

Oh, I just realized too, the *2 becomes a *4 if I select crit, lmao

#

so 1d10 *2 becomes 2d10 *4

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 6:40 PM

#

does it? 🤔

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 6:40 PM

#

Seems to

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 6:40 PM

#

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 6:41 PM

#

That's strange.

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 6:41 PM

#

hmmm which version are you on? 13.5300.1?

#

Try updating

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 6:41 PM

#

azure oasis hmmm which version are you on? 13.5300.1?

Yes, I believe so. Might be able to once the GM is available

#

I'm trying to see if doing 1.5 would round it and it keeps rolling numbers that can be wholly multiplied by 1.5...

#

Actually I may be being silly, I'm looking at it from a "add all of this up, /2 then add to total" outlook, it's structured to "/2 + total" each value, so that's probably why lol

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 6:46 PM

#

No rounding is happening on the module's side, just multiplication or division in a kind of basic way to deal with it

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 6:46 PM

#

Nah I figure, I'm mainly just experimenting

#

Though, hmm...
2 10 3 10, + 3 and 4
3 15 ? 15, + ? and 6. So that's 39 + ?+?
If 3 rounds down, it'd be 1+3 + 1+3 = 8, 39+8 = 47, which is wrong
if 3 rounds up, it'd be 2+3 + 2+3 = 10, 39+10 = 39, which is wrong.
I guess it doesn't actually round after all, cause 1.5+3 + 1.5+3 = 9, and 39+9 = 48

#

Math is weird

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 6:51 PM

#

azure oasis

Oh, try selecting critical without it prompting for a critical

#

that's how this roll was set up

azure oasis Apr 17, 2026, 6:52 PM

#

Same

#

Might be a version thing

pale marsh Apr 17, 2026, 6:52 PM

#

Maybe
