Oh?

rustic cradle
#

The Fire Shield in the Gearheads uses the same concept

gusty crane
#

I can't test them right now, maybe a lil later

#

Its in my todo list bud

rustic cradle
#

@hallow goblet melee attacks only?

#

One of my players is playing a homebrew race (Plant people kind of deal) and one of their traits is that their thorns deals some damage to melee attackers unless they succeed a con save. Is there a way to set up an aura / buff / effect on this player that is permanent and will cause attacking monsters to be forced to make a con save automatically each time? I already have some MidiQOL properties set up so when players casts spells with DC's on my NPCs / enemies, they auto-rolls those saves. But yeah, can something be done to make this easier as both me and the player tend to forget this perk is a thing

hallow goblet
rustic cradle
#

What would the damage be?

hallow goblet
#

2d4 piercing

#

With no damage on a successful save

#

And the save is a DC 12 Con

rustic cradle
#

Small issue with what happens with attackers that have reach. Should they be included or only if you attack from 5ft away?

hallow goblet
#

Both the player and I agreed that its only 5 feet away attacks that count as MOST reach attacks in this campaign is "Pokes with a weapon" and less "Close to physical contact"

rustic cradle
#

What's the feature name?

hallow goblet
#

Prickly Bodies

outer jetty
#

Here you go. Go nuts

rustic cradle
#

ok so reaction processing must be on from midi

pastel bluff
#

there is a 'before damage application' activation but that's probably not worth pursuing

gusty crane
#

np, ok so it works as is fine, but it is now firing after the player damages, it, so possibly there could be an issue if the actor is dead when its macro is firing? As for the 0 reaction test, that doesn't work, it still applies

pastel bluff
#

bummer

willow spoke
gusty crane
#

but its ok, the auto reaction removal solves the issue, just not perfect

rustic cradle
#

@gusty crane is the reaction effect deletion ok now?

gusty crane
#

yes, gonna test to see if the snake dying messes things up

willow spoke
#

Prompt click smack, awesome

#

Thank you @rustic cradle epic

gusty crane
#

I mean, weird stuff happens, but nothing bad. somehow this macro prevents the auto defeat mechanics my modules have going, the snake is sitting there at 0 health and he did his return damage just fine

pastel bluff
#

So it wouldn't work as a regular reaction (on hit) and before damage application trigger? Just curious

rustic cradle
#

Let me know what you want to change and stuff, so I can take another look

rustic cradle
gusty crane
rustic cradle
#

but if you attack and kill it, still damage should happen RAW and stuff

pastel bluff
gusty crane
#

I'm fine with how the macro is right now, the only people who are going to notice the discrepency are folks with auto defeat on somewhere

#

and even then, just click dead status and call it a day

rustic cradle
#

auto defeat from Midi would do it I think

gusty crane
#

though, it will happen 100% of the time unless you TPK the players, cause eventually every npc dies hehe

#

I'm using monks cause monks does the pretty lil blood splatter

rustic cradle
#

OK so you can put a counter flag on the token, check rounds and after some rounds the reaction will be no more 😄

#

keep hacking at it and no damage reactive done 😛

willow spoke
#

It works on Moil, but I need to enable player reactions so will leave it as is and I'll activate it manually

#

As I don't want to enable player reaction tracking

gusty crane
#

Or make the player suffer psychic damage every time you have to watch the timeout

pastel bluff
willow spoke
#

Ohh I'll check that setting, I don't want them promoted every time is all

gusty crane
#

you can also not have it on for items, which is where my ire comes from(balloon pack)

pastel bluff
#

But they probably will need to set a lot of their reactions to Reaction Manual

rustic cradle
#

OK, as I cannot follow the thread 100% now, if you want something specific, ping me with the ask and I can take a look.

gusty crane
willow spoke
#

Time to bust out the Remorhaz thanks again @rustic cradle

rustic cradle
#

My first player kill on my current campaign was from a Remorhaz, just by the fire damage... It could not hit cause I was rolling like sh#@, but they wanted to melee it... 🤷

outer jetty
willow spoke
rustic cradle
#

True I keep forgetting that even though I do dabble there...

willow spoke
gusty crane
#

Really wierd stuff, so I get that you said midi can handle the dead, and thats actually very true, but I'm realizing now that there is something strange about how monks handles his various dead options, I tried to dead the token via alwayshp module and it wouldn't kill it, I had to go to the status markers and manually put dead on

#

once I manually put the dead status on then monks took back over

pastel bluff
gusty crane
#

no errors anywhere, just weird

outer jetty
gusty crane
#

I always lose track of what channel I'm in, halfway through I was like...should I move to macro?

#

Hell, it wasn't even my macro ;p the only creature I am likely going to need it for is a druid summons if she casts conjure elementals

outer jetty
#

Don't quote me on that though lol

gusty crane
#

yeah, but I've come back from a work call, and seen a channel blown up with 150 messages and just ignored it and dropped to current lol, feel guilty is all

outer jetty
#

Anywho I am going to set the thread to auto archive in an hour, you can reopen it as usual by just searching it up and typing in it again

gusty crane
#

other thing I feel awkward about here is posting images, specially just silly ones and not mechanically necessary

pastel bluff
#

bedtime for me... looking forward to casting Moil next 😈 thanks team

gusty crane
#

what if you gave the fire form creature an active aura of 5 feet that applied a special macro buff on creatures around it, so that any melee weapon attack they did to creatures that had the item "fire form" then they would take X damage for each melee hit?

willow spoke
#

Cos it's not an aura (in the Salamanders case) it only affects itself

gusty crane
#

Exactly

#

thats the whole point of "whenever you attack a creature with fiery form"

#

you can only ever have the buff if you are within X feet of a creature with it, and you can only activate it if the creature you attack has the item fiery form

#

that technically mimics the feature

#

then you just make an item macro that rolls 1d6 fire damage if the condition is met, and the players won't have the active effect unless they are within the salamander or whatevers aura radius

#

basically doing what we did in the first place, repurposing a different thing to mimic what we need, in the the other macros case we used midi's reaction flags, in this case we'll use active aura

rustic cradle
#

Hey that would need another module... You said NOOOOOO 😛

gusty crane
#

LOL

#

wouldn't it just use active auras and dae?

#

cause you can bypass item macro cause dae has something in its arsenal?

#

or I guess it bypasses midi actually

rustic cradle
#

What I would do is use Active Auras to Warp Gate mutate creatures inside the radius to have an Actor onUse macro, that checks if they are attacking the creature with a mwak/msak and if yes each time they "roll" a right kind of item they get damaged

gusty crane
#

maybe also add touch spells to it though I honestly can't think of any touch spell use case that isn't already msak

#

if you are mutating does that mean you are adding warpgate to this 😉

outer jetty
#

If you aren't using warpgate you are doing it wrong 😛 /s

#

Why make it hard on yourself

gusty crane
#

Is warpgate the Kevin Bacon of Foundry?

rustic cradle
outer jetty
gusty crane
#

do macros posted in these show up in a general search? (threads)

rustic cradle
#

Time to turn Active Auras back on...

outer jetty
#

Searching in a channel also searches its threads yes

gusty crane
#

Eh, we'd still have to include midi wouldn't we? Cause of auto damage application?

#

its so hard to have a macro just use a few modules lol

rustic cradle
#

The thinhs of note is the Actor onUse from MidiQOL not the damage application. Whenever you roll something from the actor under the influence of the Active Aura of the monster you will need to check if it is an attack against the creature and if yes, deal damage

#

Cause it can happen more than once per round or whatever.

#

almost there

gusty crane
#

if this works, this'll probably save tposney a headache

rustic cradle
#

is the reactive fire damage applied even if you don't hit the target? No right?

willow spoke
#

If you walk past and don't touch it, no damage is apllied

rustic cradle
#

OK done!

#

Checking

gusty crane
#

depends on the ability's wording but I think its hits only

#

I know fireform and heat body was hits

#

but technically a strict ruling, misses don't mean you don't touch them

rustic cradle
#

Two parts, to be used with MidiQOL/DAE, Active Auras, Warp Gate. Can be used as a base for features like fire form, lightning form, heat body

This is a **script **macro. Create a script macro named Reactive Damage in your macros folder and copy paste the following: ```js
//name me Reactive Damage and if I am working the logs are not needed. testing phase
console.log(args)
if(!args[0].hitTargets.length) {
console.log("miss")
return;
}
else console.log("hit")
if(!["mwak","msak"].some(value=>args[0].item.data.actionType.includes(value))) {
console.log("not melee")
return;
}
else {
const dmgType = "fire"; //change damage type;
const dmgAmount = "5"; //change damage amount, can include a dice formula, in "";
const damage = await new Roll(${dmgAmount}).evaluate({async:true});
await MidiQOL.applyTokenDamage( [{type: ${dmgType}, damage: damage.total}], damage.total, new Set([token]), null, new Set(), {} );
}

#

And an Item on the monster. IMPORT the .json and drag drop on the character sheet.

When dragging the item on the creature you want for the first time, make sure that the creature is not mutated by the effect and if it is click the revert button on its character sheet's title bar

📎 fvtt-Item-reactive-damaging-monster.json
#

reuploaded

gusty crane
#

Can you explain what the first one is again to me?

#

wait I think I get it, click an empty button?

rustic cradle
#

Create a script macro. Copy paste that in

gusty crane
#

make sure its a script

rustic cradle
#

OK this way is much yummier 😄

gusty crane
#

does anything need to be changed in the bottom macro or is it generic for all of the different types?

rustic cradle
#

nah, as far as the triggering user can mutate the tokens in question everything should be fine.

#

That means that a GM is OK to use that

gusty crane
#

oh wait the bottom is an item import lol

rustic cradle
#

Made it easier to read 😛

gusty crane
#

working perfectly but forgot to edit values in the macro for it

rustic cradle
#

What did I do?

gusty crane
#

My first assumption here is that its cause i didn't put parenthesis around 1d6?

unknown.png unknown.png
#

quotes not parenthesis

# 
//name me Reactive Damage and if I am working the logs are not needed. testing phase
console.log(args)
if(!args[0].hitTargets.length) {
    console.log("miss")
    return;
}
else console.log("hit")
if(!["mwak","msak"].some(value=>args[0].item.data.actionType.includes(value))) {
    console.log("not melee")
    return;
}
else {
    const dmgType = "fire";   //change damage type;
    const dmgAmount = 1d6;     //change damage amount, can include a dice formula, in "";
    const damage = await new Roll(`${dmgAmount}`).evaluate({async:true});
    await MidiQOL.applyTokenDamage( [{type: `${dmgType}`, damage: damage.total}], damage.total, new Set([token]), null, new Set(), {} );
}
rustic cradle
#

//change damage amount, can include a dice formula, in "";

#

"1d6"

gusty crane
#

well there wasn't one in the original ;p

rustic cradle
#

Yeah when you first mentioned it I went back and changed it in the original

gusty crane
#

yep everything good with quotes, can the original not take the "5"?

rustic cradle
#

ok

gusty crane
#

very smooth flow too

#

no annoying reaction popup ;p

rustic cradle
#

Indeed

#

Let's see the Armor of Agathys now!

gusty crane
#

I bet we could also hide the aura from view too eh?

#

I think theres a way to hide the aura icons

#

yeah you have force true

rustic cradle
#

There is but I want to see it, to know that something is up

gusty crane
#

yeah

#

how does it know to fire it? Theres no entry in the ae lol

rustic cradle
#

In the DAE of the item, you can delete the true

unknown.png
gusty crane
rustic cradle
gusty crane
#

oooh I didn't look at the one on the player

rustic cradle
#

When they go out of the aura that goes away.

rustic cradle
gusty crane
#

eh, Magic still applies lol

#

very well done

rustic cradle
#

It should be excluding the source actor, but there might be an issue in Active Auras re this

gusty crane
#

yeah there is a wonkiness with Active auras and the owner

rustic cradle
#

Can you check on the source actor if there is a Revert on the title bar as well?

gusty crane
#

sometimes the pally aura tokenmagic effect applies to him and others it doesn't

#

there is

#

I'm afraid to press it, will it cause a black hole?

#

will I end up in the astral sea?

rustic cradle
#

press it baby

#

you need it actually to NOT have the Actor onUse macro on the source actor

#

This is something that must be checked

gusty crane
#

can't auto press it somehow?

rustic cradle
#

have to double check how to exlude the source Actor from the execution of the warpgate mutation

gusty crane
#

seemed to work with it not pressed

rustic cradle
#

If you do it once though you should be fine

rustic cradle
gusty crane
#

hmmmm, so basically put this on the main actor not an instance on the canvas

#

or else I have to press it on all the lil buggers

#

Shit, that kinda makes me wonder if thats intended lol

rustic cradle
#

Yeah you need some sort of double checking that it is good to go

#

Nah it should exclude source the Aura. It seems to not be able to do that or something. Will check during the weekend

gusty crane
#

its built into the attack on the other end nm

#

I meant more in the rules as written aspect, cause technically they are touching when the snake smacks em

#

but the snake has an extra 1d6 in its attack

rustic cradle
#

Armor of Agathys is doable as well, but as it mutates unowned tokenDocs, there might need some shenanigans

gusty crane
#

I don't have any warlocks, though I do have a Warlock of the Fey adventuring npc the party interacts with alot as a rival

rustic cradle
#

and check temp hp existence and and do damage according to them... pfff, maybe tomorrow with a nice iced coffee 😄

gusty crane
#

lol this is sweet though, Lukas gonna wake up in the morning to a new toy

#

Gonna at @pastel bluff so they are aware we revisited it and got a new macro above. Also can you edit your post with the key words like fire form, lightning form, heat body?

#994929221182959616 message

willow spoke
#

What have I missed? A generic Reactive Damage macro?

gusty crane
#

a very smooth one that does less hacking away at midi

#

active auras, warpgate, DAE, I believe

willow spoke
#

Good job I use all of those then

willow spoke
rustic cradle
#

Go into the DAE of the source actor, the A-A one, and in the first tab delete the true entry

gusty crane
#

shakes fist at module abbreviations

willow spoke
#

AA is active auras, A-A is Automated anims 😁but I'll remove the true

gusty crane
#

Revert or retro, I forget what the button said

#

otherwise it'll do damage back the other way too

#

Unless @rustic cradle figured out how to make it ignore the actor

pastel bluff
#

My warlock can be a reactive damaging monster 😍

willow spoke
rustic cradle
willow spoke
#

I just need to remember to not have it enabled when moil isn't up

gusty crane
#

is the item ddetails tab set to special?

#

isn't that how you ignore caster?

rustic cradle
#

You can enable it as a spell with target self and duration and stuff Tyreal

gusty crane
#

oh looking at it, it looks way different than I've ever seen, setting it with action cost would probably break it right?

#

It has transfer on actor on item equip set to on?

rustic cradle
#

Yes

#

As is rn

#

Does it behave ok if you unselect that and make it a self target spell with a duration?

gusty crane
#

mines already pressed that button, need to remember where I imported the first one to

willow spoke
gusty crane
#

I thoguht at first that it worked, but then I realized that they have fire immunity

#

so its damaging them.....technically

#

lol that is a really funny good point about this whole dilemma

#

it doesn't matter if they damage themselves, atleast the ones I'm testing with, they are immune to it lol

#

obv not all of the creatures like this will have immunity

rustic cradle
#

Pack Tactics anyone? Needs MidiQOL/DAE/ItemMacro.

Create a feature with a DAE. The DAE needs:
a. Transfer Effect to Actor on Item Equip CHECKED.
b. flags.midi-qol.onUseMacroName | Custom | ItemMacro.Feature Name,preAttackRoll and change the Feature Name to the actual name of the feature you created.

In the ItemMacro copy paste the following snippet: ```js
if (args[0].macroPass === "preAttackRoll") {
if(!token || args[0].targets.length < 1) return;
const target = args[0].targets[0].object;
const creatures = MidiQOL.findNearby(CONST.TOKEN_DISPOSITIONS.HOSTILE,target,5);
const validCreatures = arrayRemove(creatures, token);
const workflow = await MidiQOL.Workflow.getWorkflow(args[0].uuid);
if(validCreatures.length === 0 || validCreatures.filter(t=>t.actor.effects.find(i=>i.data.label === "Incapacitated")).length === validCreatures.length) return;
else setProperty(workflow, 'advantage', true);
}

function arrayRemove(arr, value) {
return arr.filter(function(ele){
return ele != value;
});
}

Thanks @rustic cradle our Druid is gonna love this on his vultures
