ok. i've managed to loop over all the targets within the 30 foot range and get their center coords. But how would I find the distance from the caster to the targets? this is what I have, but distance is coming back as undefined: ```js
for (i; i < targets.length; i++) {
let tokenCenter = targets[i]?.object.center;
let ray = new Ray(myCenter, tokenCenter);
let distance = canvas.grid.measureDistance([{ ray }], { gridSpaces: true })[
i
];
console.log("distance: ", distance);
console.log(targets[i].data.name, tokenCenter, ray.distance);
}
gridsize = (await canvas.grid.size) / 2;
ok. this is what I have so far. it sorta works, but the distances aren't quite coming out exact: ```js
console.log("args: ", args);
const lastArg = args[args.length - 1];
const actorD = game.actors.get(lastArg.actor._id);
const me = canvas.tokens.get(token.id);
const targets = lastArg.targets;
// console.log(actorD)
// console.log("me: ", me)
console.log("targets: ", targets);
let gridsize = await canvas.grid.size;
console.log("gridsize: ", gridsize);
const myCenter = me.center;
console.log("myCenter: ", myCenter);
// Define the staff of power
// let itemD = await fromUuid(lastArg.itemUuid);
let staffPower = actorD.items.getName("Staff of Power");
let chargesLeft = staffPower.data.flags.magicitems.uses;
// console.log("staffPower: ", staffPower)
// console.log("chargesLeft: ", chargesLeft)
// let randomNumber = Math.random();
// console.log(randomNumber);
// if (randomNumber >= 0.5) {
// ui.notifications.error("You take all the damage and die")
let i = 0;
for (i; i < targets.length; i++) {
let tokenCenter = targets[i]?.object.center;
let ray = new Ray(myCenter, tokenCenter);
// let distance = canvas.grid.measureDistance([{ ray }], { gridSpaces: true });
console.log(targets[i].data.name, tokenCenter, Math.floor(ray.distance / gridsize) * 5);
}
// determine distance from actorD
// apply damage based on distance (10ft or less = 8 * charges, 20feet or less = 6 * charges, 30ft or less = 4 * charges)
// apply damage to actorD (16 * charges)
// } else {
// ui.notifications.info("You have been transported to a different plane!")
// // delete actorD token
// // get all targets in range
// // determine distance from actorD
// // apply damage based on distance (10ft or less = 8 * charges, 20feet or less = 6 * charges, 30ft or less = 4 * charges)
// }

you could just get the tokens near by with midi and store them
MidiQOL.findNearby(null,me,30,null);
or you can grab everybody within the template
MidiQOL.selectTargetsForTemplate

how would I set up a ternary to set the damage multiplier? I've got it so I can grab the targets within 30 and compute their distance from the caster. Now I just want to say if within 10 feet or less, damage multiplier is 8, else if within 11-20 feet, it's 6, else if within 21-30 it's 4x damage.

You got a couple of options... You could group them together into different arrays then deal damage to that array. else you can loop them and deal damage to each one
reduce would probably be your best option for the multi grouping
although you could probably loop it all through that then push out the results of the damage
shrewd osprey
let targets = MidiQOL.findNearby(null,me,30,null);
targets.reduce((list, target) => {
let distance = MidiQOL.getDistance(me, target, true);
let multiplier = distance <= 30 ? 4 : distance <= 20 ? 6 : distance <= 10 ? 8 : false;
if(multiplier) {
// could deal damage here with applyToken Damage
list.push(`//push out any details you want`);
}
return list;
}, []);
question: where do you find the midi functions like findNearby and getDistance, and their syntax? I have looked and looked, but I can't really find a simple explanation of how the damageOnlyWorkflow works, for example.

Just type in MidiQOL in the console
