New version:

Add clipboard copy/paste in the Reaction Editor (should be easier to share automations), also fxed export
new "climber" status (elevation immunity) plus reactor_meltdown status.
Introduce startWaitCard and integrate waiting-card UX into sendMessageToReactor
Integrate with elevationruler to optionally ignore elevation movement cost for flying/climber tokens or those with elevation immunity.
Add constant elevation immunity bonuses
Export new API hooks (injectBonusToFlowState) and export executeFall from MiscAPI; genericBonuses now ignores 'range' bonuses in the standard flow.
Improve grapple activation to warn about immunity;
Fix and add preDeleteToken hook to trigger onDestroyed when a token is destroyed. ( for now i try to deteck only when dstroyed with 0 stress or 0 struct
Fix HUD activation selection.

ionic pilot Did you ever find a fix for this misalignment on size 2s?

This is something i fixed many month ago, and should work.
I tried test on an empty world with only.

tried a basic size 2 with 6 variant , no issue.
same with traversing difficult terrain. no issue.

if it remove elevation ruler, it's probably an error , you'll have to look in the console for these.
for the size 2 issue, first try to reproduce and a bland empty word with minimum madule.

if in those condition you reproduce the bug, than we'll have to find a different method.
if it does not , you have to do a dichotomic research one your module to find the culprit.

@wise coral Just ran into a bug with your fork of elevation ruler (I can work around it so not super critical, more just an annoyance. cause like I know that one hasnt been officially published yet. Just wanted to report it to ya <3)

Error is coming from trying to use the default ruler, or holding ctrl when selecting the token (so it draws out the default ruler) and then pressing space bar to have the token follow the ruler path

#

Instead of following the path I get the following error

#

#

For my modules I got everything but elevation ruler disabled atm

and got the same error

Ah yea, they show up in the tooltip when you hover over stuff. I forget about it most of the time too tho tbf (just was testing some stuff atm and so thats how ran into the bug)

#

movement history, and calculation for movement will be mess up

not even sure the original elevation ruler was meant to move token that way

median moat Mar 23, 2026, 7:52 AM

#

oh this is a feature from base foundry

#

One thing I could do tho actually real quick

#

let me try using the non fork version of ER and see if the errors still there

#

oh huh, ok my bad. Isnt your fork. Most recent version (or version that it updated to anyways. 0.10.29) is also broken

#

I thought I remembered using this feature with elevation ruler installed but before I got your fork. Must of been misremembering then

#

appologizes ❤️

wise coral Mar 23, 2026, 7:55 AM

#

you can make way point with Ctrl +clic, but not from Ctrl clic drag

#

I found the fix , but then you don't have the coloring and all

#

not actually you juste right click to do way point

#

then spacebar

median moat Mar 23, 2026, 7:57 AM

#

Yea looks like its the pathfinding when using the default ruler

#

So either you use the defaut ruler tool (or when you hold ctrl+click+drag when hovering over your token with select tokens tool)

#

thats when I get that above error

#

Main benifit of doing it that route is releasing mouse doesnt move your token (so lets you cancel the movement). Gotta hit spacebar to confirm it. But niche scneario where youd want ot use that I guess?

#

(and yea you lose the movement colours for reg, boost overcharge and all that)

wise coral Mar 23, 2026, 8:00 AM

#

and the difficult and elevation cost calculation is not there

median moat Mar 23, 2026, 8:00 AM

#

But yea, might be a bug to report on the main elevation ruler github then?

wise coral Mar 23, 2026, 8:06 AM

#

not sure something can be done here, at least easely . replacing the Ctrl drag with elevation ruluer would work.
but some people use the normal ruler to do measurement. thus i made so using the normal ruler on token .

what i can do is when drag moving with multiple , is to not auto release the waypoins, and let the spacebar do the work

#

appart the error , feel like more like a design conflict

median moat Mar 23, 2026, 8:07 AM

#

fair enough yea

#

ohhhh ok I see whats going on

#

So I did a complete fresh reinstall of elevation ruler

#

And its working now without the error

#

and reason why is cause the original fork of elevation ruler just completely replaces the ruler in foundry. Regardless of if youre moving your token or using the ruler tool

#

Where your fork only replaces the ruler when draging tokens around

#

but the original ruler is still there when using the measure distance tool or when you ctrl click drag from a token.

And so thats where conflict is coming from

wise coral Mar 23, 2026, 8:11 AM

#

median moat Where your fork *only* replaces the ruler when draging tokens around

yeah someone asked for that

median moat Mar 23, 2026, 8:11 AM

signal solar Wait so is the solution uninstalling elevation ruler then just installing LaSoss...

no the solution was uninstalling and installing the default fork (for what I did to get it working)

wise coral Mar 23, 2026, 8:41 AM

#

not at all , it's just revert back to my previous version and wrap it on a config variable.
i made this change few day ago because, my elevation ruler , is more like a movement ruler.
the distance showed is not the distance but the movement cost. it will count if you have to climb up and down.
Thus someone asked to have the regular ruler to do simple measurement.

then now we have the conflict of rulers behavior. either all ruler are "movement ruler" or something else.
maybe i can try to add a new button to bring to classic ruler.

(but you'll notice even the classic ruler actually show elevation changes )

signal solar Mar 23, 2026, 8:43 AM

Cause the previous iteration saw height 6 terrain as height 14 when dragging the ruler for measurement.

median moat Mar 23, 2026, 8:44 AM

also on that note too I actually got a quick question.

For on my end. The ruler factors in the additional cost for difficult terrain. It shows the elevation change from regions ive pained with Terrain height tools

#

but it doesnt factor in the additional cost to climb to that elevation. Just that it is a higher elevation.

images pls, i dont quite understand

median moat Mar 23, 2026, 8:46 AM

#

for sure, one sec

#

#

So the difficult terrain. You can see elevation ruler factors in the extra movement cost. But for the size 3 hard cover. The regular ruler picks up its elevation 3. But moving the token up there displays as costing 2 (doesnt factor in the elevation)

#

also when the token does get moved up there. It does automatically adjust the tokens height too

#

and these zones are from Terrain Height tools (using your fork)

median moat Mar 23, 2026, 9:07 AM

#

totally understandable

#

thank you for helping me get that fixed tho 🫶

#

Alright, sorry I got one last thing for you before I go to bed with that fork 😅
The auto calculation to climb is working. But im fairly certain the math is wrong

#

So by using the square brackets. You can see that moving up 2 height and 1 space over would cost 4 movement (which is correct)

#

#

But when I do what should be the same movement but let it automattically do it by moving the token onto that piece of size 2 cover. Its 1 less

#

The larger the piece of terrain the larger the difference becomes

#

So for example at size 3 cover. The difference is 2 smaller

#

I think I know why too.

When you use the square brackets. It is manually moving the token up or down as you're dragging it along. So each time you press that keybind its factoring in that you have moved the mech 1 hex (so like works the exact same has how the difficult terrain from TMT works)

#

but TMT doesnt handle its automatic elevation change like that

wise coral Mar 23, 2026, 9:29 AM

#

...

median moat Mar 23, 2026, 9:29 AM

#

after you've moved your token it applies the elevation change. And because its happening after, that change doesnt get factored into the movement cost itself

wise coral Mar 23, 2026, 9:30 AM

#

i use the brack to incraese height obave the ground, i dont use it to climb , it clim by it self

median moat Mar 23, 2026, 9:30 AM

#

yea but it climbing itself isnt doing the math right

#

Cause can look at it this way. If you ignore elevation ruler for a sec.

TMT, you move onto a piece of terrain. Cost its only factoring in the horizontal distance when measuring. After you let go and the token moves. You get teleported a vertical distance equal to what ever the elevation difference was

#

So that vertical movement happens for "free" because it happens outside of you moving your token.

#

You drag your token, movement cost is substracted. And then youre teleported vertically

wise coral Mar 23, 2026, 9:33 AM

Lancer Elevation ruler complete refactor and overhaul

tldr : better respet of rules, consistency with manual elevation and automatic, no longer depend on THT auto elevation (does it on it's own)
you'll have the elevation displayed above token when moving on elevation (auto elevate)

option for the default ruler
Tokens now follow terrain elevation when moving (go up with terrain, maintain height offset above ground)
Manual elevation (/) is preserved across movements as an offset above terrain
Same-hex vertical movement no longer double-counts elevation cost
Fixed flying tokens having zero cost for same-hex elevation changes
Movement costs now correctly match Lancer climbing rules (2 movement per space climbed, diagonal climb included)
Climbing malus (⚠) displayed separately from base movement cost in ruler labels
Removed @ elevation prefix from ruler labels; arrow and warning now on same line
Added startup warning when THT's "Automatic Token Elevation Change" is enabled (handled by Elevation Ruler instead)

there so code on lacner-automation, the will adapt to these change, not out yet. hope the curernt one dont break to much ( like with flying, and climber ( i dont if i pushed that status yet lol)

The Token Action HUD doesn't broadcast specifically PC Frame Traits, Talents, and Core as well as NPC Traits that aren't Systems.

Like when you click on one of the NPC Systems in that tab, it broadcasts it to the Chat Log.

It isn't the same for the NPC Traits tab.

The right click to view is fine. But broadcasting to the chat log doesn't work. Needs to open the actual sheet in order to broadcast it.

i see, i never used the chat broadcast for non active stuff, hence why i didn't add it .

like does that get edited into the Grid Aware Auras somewhere, or is that a macro i have to use somewhere?

wise coral Mar 28, 2026, 1:51 AM

you would need to hook some code at token creation , either doing with a module, or a macro that you have to run to make the hook.

or in lancer automation there startup script allowing to create to code run after loading ( like a module)

for audio and stuff you have lancerFx module that explains it better.
for automation, i cant teach you everything. Look at the documentation, i think the examples still works. try them with other item and learn.
then you can come here with specific question.

This looks so amazing. One question, though. That unit teleporting between the two TP cells - should it have stopped on the unit in its way? Or is it a unique quality of the ability used that didn't let it move through units?

Ok, I think I came across a bug.

#

Elevation Ruler + Terrain Height Tools measurement
Expected: Drag a line to measure a space and place a token onto that space.
Bug: Dragging a line to measure distance between spaces to a space NEAR painted terrain causes the ruler to "read" that it is at a far different elevation. As well as dragging a new token onto the canvas sets it at said random elevation.

Tested this on a new world, with only Elevation Ruler and Terrain Height Tools installed.

#

#

#

There are even some instances when it is doing it when there are NO painted terrains nearby. But from what I could tell, unpainted maps work fine.

#

#

#

More info: It seems to be linked to [ Terrain Height Tools integration ] setting.

orchid prism Apr 2, 2026, 8:50 AM

#

I was looking at your fork and thinking that the ignoreAutoElevation flag and the wall-height integration in getTokenHeight would be good to merge upstream, and the new move penalty field could be added via the new registerCustomTerrainTypeConfigUi API function.
That would then save you the need for maintaining your own fork. Obviously if you prefer to have your own fork that's fine too, but food for thought.

hihi! i wanted to ask, im getting this warning about automatic token elevation change, saying the elevation ruler fork already handles it, but i dont think so? the automatic token elevation change makes the token to, change its elevation and "float" above tiles in an isometric module, while the elevation ruler only calculates the movement cost of climbing the elevation. when i turn off the setting as recommended, the elevation change doesnt happen. should i just bear with it and change the elevation manually or am i doing something wrong?

wise coral Apr 2, 2026, 12:04 PM

#

something wrong is happening , elevation ruler (my fork) should handle it
also to it's my elevation ruler fork , not the normal one. just somehting you should mention
but i don't use isometric module , so that might not be handled well.

what isometric module you use ? can you show me a video of what is happening ?

#

also what version of THT du you have ?

royal knoll Apr 2, 2026, 12:07 PM

#

here are the modules, your elevation ruler fork, THT and the isometric module i use

#

i will record a short video

#

i hope this showcases the issue

#

my foundry version is 12.343, in case it helps

#

i believe the isometric module isnt the problem perse. it's just that when i disable the automatic elevation change, the token isnt applied any elevation, and therefore the isometric mod doesnt create the floating effect

wise coral Apr 2, 2026, 12:19 PM

i'll try to fix the elevation issue,
for difficult terrain in use my THT fork, where i can set movement penalty to terrain. (which works with elevation ruler fork)
template macro is used to make movable ones.

i dont think i'll do anything else for terrain mapper , i dont use it .

updating the ruler for 0.6.0 , i need to fix this issue again , for some function parameters were inverted.
hopefully it can coem from either the ruler outdated, or THT , or maybe soemthing broken in 0.6.1 ?? not sure.

otherwise its more complicated

updating the ruler for 0.6.0 , i need to fix this issue again , for some function parameters were inverted.
Do you mean in the THT API some of the parameters have been inverted? If so that wasn't intentional; I was intending to keep the API fully backwards compatible.

yep getCell changed

from

export function getCell(x, y) {
    return TerrainHeightEditorLayer.current?._heightMap.get(y, x);

to

export function getCell(i, j) {
    if (canvas.grid.type === CONST.GRID_TYPES.GRIDLESS)
        throw new Error("Cannot use this function on gridless scenes");

    const { x, y } = canvas.grid.getCenterPoint({ i, j });
    return heightMap.getShapesAtPoint(x, y);

orchid prism Apr 2, 2026, 3:36 PM

#

Huh I thought i was left-right and j was up-down, but it seems like it's the opposite 🤔

I'll reverse it back to how it was in 0.5.11 when I do 0.6.2 then, I don't really want it to behave differently from how it was before.

orchid prism Apr 2, 2026, 5:23 PM

#

THT 0.6.2 is out which adds ignore auto elevation flag, the tokenHeight flag from wall-height, and swaps the parameters of getCell and getShapes back to how they were pre 0.6.0.

orchid prism Apr 2, 2026, 6:29 PM

#

Oh god damn it I must've missed changing the name when copy and pasting from another field. 🤦
It's the one that's incorrectly labelled as "Texture Scale"

wise coral Apr 2, 2026, 6:56 PM

#

@orchid prism
btw using canvas.app.ticker.maxFPS,
wont work if users have an uncaped framerate in there settings.
(it didnt work for me because of it )

it set the value at 0 for uncapped

deltaTime should already be normalized to the frame rate .

either something like

sprite.tilePosition.x += (xAnim / 60) * deltaTime;
sprite.tilePosition.y += (yAnim / 60) * deltaTime;

or

sprite.tilePosition.x += ((xAnim / canvas.app.ticker.FPS) * deltaTime) % (texture.width * xScale);
sprite.tilePosition.y += ((yAnim / canvas.app.ticker.FPS) * deltaTime) % (texture.height * yScale);

orchid prism Apr 2, 2026, 7:11 PM

#

tbh I don't really understand what deltaTime actually *is* conceptually speaking. Looking at the PIXI Ticker code it's the deltaMS * a targetFPMS value.

I didn't realise deltaMS was a thing so I'll just use that instead I think.

Thanks for letting me know though, I didn't actually realise it was possible to uncap the fps. I'll sort it for next release
-# (which won't be today, I think I've done too much today and I'm clearly not thinking straight today lol)

wise coral Apr 2, 2026, 7:23 PM

#

hehe it's my bread and butter

Deltatime is the time difference between last frame and the current frame.
It is specifically used to code logic that does depend on frame rate, or rather adapts to it.

A function with deltatime usually means it is called every frame.

let's say i want a bullet to move at 1m per second.

every frame i would need to move it. for 1 second, one meter.
what you usually do is multiply your speed with the deltatime.

if one frame is 1 second, the delta is 1 (it's in seconds). at 60 fps, deltatime is about 16 ms.
for every frame: 1 meter * 0.016, and so after 60 frames we have our meter.

but if the user is omega lagging , like at 30 fps (i'm mean 30 is ok) , then we move more each frame.
if i'm super fast, like 240 fps, then we move very little.

no matter the fps fluctuation, your speed visually is going to be the same.

deltaMS is probably just deltatime at a different scale.

there's more to that concept and a lot of issues, like collision detection or physics, but that's the basis

orchid prism Apr 2, 2026, 7:31 PM

#

Yeah I get the idea of doing animation/physics/whatever based on time rather than FPS, it's this deltaType that pixi passes to the ticker functions that I don't understand.

It has a deltaMS which is the number of milliseconds since the last ticker tick, but then the deltaTime parameter that it passes to the ticker function is the milliseconds multiplied by some constant. I'm guessing based on the name it's something to do with how many frames per millisecond - but if that's the case why is targetFPMS a static on the Ticker class, rather than an instance property - surely the target number of frames per millisecond are going to change based on whether the ticker is targetting 60fps or 120fps or unlimited.

Regardless I've replaced it with this now which seems to work nicely

const { deltaMS } = canvas.app.ticker;
sprite.tilePosition.x += ((xAnim / 1000) * deltaMS) % (texture.width * xScale);
sprite.tilePosition.y += ((yAnim / 1000) * deltaMS) % (texture.height * yScale);

wise coral Apr 2, 2026, 7:33 PM

#

ah my apologie for over explaining then

#

it kinda make me happy to explain stuff like that

#

from what is see deltaTime , is the number of frame elapsed, so it a bit unsually actually

orchid prism Apr 2, 2026, 7:35 PM

#

Nah don't apologise I appreciate it. I'm the same at work lol

Sorry, had to go to sleep cause I was losing my marbles over it. I'll double check the THT version.

#

Huh. Ok, yeah THT 0.6.0 seems to be stable.

#

Yep. Looks like before and after 0.6.0 the elevation ruler does not play nice.

#

But 0.6.0 specifically the THT plays nice with Elevation Ruler.

signal solar Apr 3, 2026, 4:32 AM

#

Ah ok, now I discovered a new bug.

Drag Moving doubles the height instead of the actual height.
Moving by Ruler is perfectly fine, it reads the height normally.

Moving by Ruler lets the token get up to a height 4 elevation normally.
Drag Moving on the other hand moves the token to height 8.

Vice versa it also does that when trying to move it back to Elevation 0 (the unpainted terrain)

#

Guess Ruler Move is what I'll be doing for now.

there is an option to access my personal item implementation, in the configuration. then it should run when activating the NPC item.
keep in mind it's just my personal stuff, if you dont like it better make your own. it's mainly to serve as exemples .

dispersal shield is a bit special, with the "deactivation action", which is not displayed yet in the TAH, i'm gonna change it soon.
you wont be able to use it properly . (like you wont have the button to turn it of)

So just updated to THT 0.6.3 and the Elevation Ruler fork 0.11.6.

The update notes mentioned there should be a movement penalty setting in the configure UI but I cant seem to find it? Movement penalty for difficult terrain is actually working for me tho when moving tokens/measuring (im just looking for the UI configure setting).

Changelog

New Features

Infection Damage Type - New damage type from HORUS: Thy Hubris Manifest, fully integrated into Lancer (hopefuly) . Works like Burn but applies Heat. Systems check at end of turn. Cleared by Stabilize and Full Repair.
Ammo System - Systems with ammo (like Ammo Case) display ammo entries on actor sheets with USE buttons. AmmoFlow consumes charges and prints a chat card. Available in TAH under Actions > Ammo.
Item Disabled - Mark weapons/systems/NPC features as disabled via right-click context menu. Blocked from activation, cleared on repair.
Compatibility Checker - Detects conflicts with csm-lancer-qol and offers one-click auto-fix.
LCP Data Repair - Settings button to fix known issues in compendium and actor items (ammo types, descriptions).

Fixes

Alternative Structure chat buttons - Fixed flow buttons in structure/stress chat cards not working (Custom Flow Dispatch handles module-registered flows).
Melee Cover Fix - Melee attacks no longer apply cover (per RAW). Thrown weapons still count as ranged.

Improvements

Template Patching - embedButtons support injected at runtime (no file edits needed).
Trackable Attributes - Move, Reaction, and Infection added to token resource bar options.
TAH - Infection shown in stats bar. Ammo category in Actions > Ammo.

Sheets

Infection stat displayed on both base and alternative sheets.
Ammo entries displayed on both base and alternative sheets.
Disabled items styled on both base and alternative sheets.

I'm in combat, I take a player npc, place it adjacent to an enemy NPC, and nothing happens. It does not cause either of them to be engaged, nor does the ruler stop upon becoming engaged.

wise coral Apr 5, 2026, 2:29 PM

#

you gotta give more information, this is too vague to help

tired gate Apr 5, 2026, 2:34 PM

#

If I could give more articulate information, I would.

I just updated from 2.9 to 2.11, so a lot of stuff has been broken and I'm trying to fix it. Inbetween reloading my world, I got the notification that there was an update to Lancer Automations.

So I logged out, updated it, and logged back in. I got the notification from Find the Culprit that there was an error, it was related to the Lancer Automation's Auto-Engage function, and while I want to say the number of error was something like 23 I can't be certain. I clicked "fix" and then went to see if the auto engage function worked.

It didn't. I checked to see if it was still on in the activation manager, and it was. I clicked the 'Apply Fixes" button, and that didn't do anything, nor did "Reset to Defaults"

There was a weird interaction where I tried to see if it was tied to the Lancer QoL automatic Engagement function. it was off, so I turned it on, and in that instance, being adjacent to an enemy unit removed engagement, while moving away caused engagement.

After that, I came to the discord to report that I had this error, and that's caught up to present.

ah yeah sorry i did not

i should propably

royal knoll Apr 6, 2026, 6:22 PM

#

also, how did you do this? the status of infection + the token effect

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 6:37 PM

#

token effect is just the fire effect form lancer QoL but green lol.
i'm actually getting the hang on tokenMagicFx, and making a couple more right now

as the Infection , well that's way more complicated
You have to add entry into actors schemas (npc, mech) , then i'll inject into variable in the lancer.mjs to add the infection damage.

so that then the whole system believe infection is a new damage type. that's why you can see it everywhere. i'm patch the system.
Go to edit a weapon, and you can give it infection damage now.

(there's more to it, like the damage, handle the chat messge, reversing the damage, stack check , etc ..., and probalby edge case i didn't think about)

i haven't tested it , but i think i could make an LCP with infection damage and the import would work.

#

and for the infection status, well i juste added it by code that's all

#

the goal is to make it seemless , like it was here from the beginning

#

(~~oh i didnt handle infection on deployable or pilots~~, nah it works)

royal knoll Apr 6, 2026, 8:39 PM

these are the only things that seemed to appear when throwing infection damage

#

im running foundry 12.343 and lancer 2.11.2

#

im going to try on an empty world

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 9:04 PM

#

if you open the sheet does the stat is at a correct value ?

royal knoll Apr 6, 2026, 9:04 PM

#

yep

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 9:08 PM

#

Mmm only the auto effect and auto status , check agin the option if it save properly, also not haveing lacnerQol effect

royal knoll Apr 6, 2026, 9:09 PM

#

i just tried on a world with only these mods and same issue

without lancer QoL as well, the others are on as I suppose they are needed (foundry tells me lancer automations have them as dependencies)

#

but yes, infection is being applied to the sheet

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 9:10 PM

#

since the option for efect are false by default are they checked ? just to be sure

#

do theysave properly

royal knoll Apr 6, 2026, 9:11 PM

#

yeah everything is enabled, i checked beforehand

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 9:11 PM

#

if you burn damage , does it dd the status ?

royal knoll Apr 6, 2026, 9:12 PM

#

yep, just checked

#

like i said, all other status are working properly, its only infection

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 9:13 PM

#

i know , but to be sure, i'm making you do the step i would do to test

#

in the effect mamager can you find the infection status ?

royal knoll Apr 6, 2026, 9:15 PM

#

i can find it in both menus

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 9:16 PM

#

can you try CONFIG.statusEffects.find(s => s.id === 'infection')

in the console

royal knoll Apr 6, 2026, 9:17 PM

#

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 9:19 PM

#

also i see way way more status , i have in my empty world. no idea if that can cause an issue,

royal knoll Apr 6, 2026, 9:19 PM

#

the extra status are from lancer core

#

i didnt add anything else

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 9:20 PM

#

i think they are not by default, thus i dont have tehm in my testing world

royal knoll Apr 6, 2026, 9:21 PM

#

just turned all of them off and still same issue

#

i didnt have an infection status before anyway so, i dont think theres any conflict there

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 9:22 PM

#

await a.update({ 'system.infection': 5 });```

test this  on a controlled token , check if you have any error

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 9:22 PM

i know , but i'm trying to norrow down any possible

#

whhen you debug you are never sure

royal knoll Apr 6, 2026, 9:24 PM

#

i run the code, i saw it added 5 infection to the sheet but, again, no status or effect

#

i tried to run it twice

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 9:25 PM

#

console.log('user is GM?', game.user.isGM);
console.log('actor:', a);
console.log('infection val:', a.system.infection);
console.log('status registered?', !!CONFIG.statusEffects.find(s => s.id === 'infection'));
const result = await a.toggleStatusEffect('infection', { active: true });
console.log('toggle result:', result);
console.log('actor effects:', a.effects.map(e => e.name));```

#

no need to run it twice

royal knoll Apr 6, 2026, 9:25 PM

#

ok now it added the infection status to the token, no infection to the sheet, and the token didnt get any green effect

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 9:26 PM

#

i need the text in the console

#

it wil give me the info

royal knoll Apr 6, 2026, 9:27 PM

#

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 9:29 PM

#

const a = canvas.tokens.controlled[0]?.actor;
await a.toggleStatusEffect('infection', { active: false });
const traceHook = Hooks.on('updateActor', (actor, change, opts, userId) => {
  console.log('[trace] updateActor fired', { actor: actor.name, change, userId, isMatch: actor === a });
});
await a.update({ 'system.infection': 5 });
console.log('effects after update:', a.effects.contents.map(e => e.name));
console.log('infection val:', a.system.infection);
console.log('master enabled:', game.settings.get('lancer-automations', 'statusFXConfig')?.master);
console.log('auto_infection:', game.settings.get('lancer-automations', 'statusFXConfig')?.auto_infection);
Hooks.off('updateActor', traceHook)```

royal knoll Apr 6, 2026, 9:33 PM

#

again, no status, no effect, 5 infection in the sheet

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 9:34 PM

#

it says master not enable , check again this menu

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 10:39 PM

#

cfg.master = true;
await game.settings.set('lancer-automations', 'statusFXConfig', cfg);```

if it does not work , you can try to  toggle it directly , that way.

placid dew Apr 6, 2026, 11:11 PM

Just wanted to pop my head in to say that as a new GM on foundry, and to lancer, the automations module has been so extraordinarily helpful that i cannot believe it doesn't get more attention in guides, videos, etc. I've gone from wondering how to do everything mechanically, to having a system that mostly just works

#

Have yet to figure out the flow for blast zones for things like the hive, but one step at a time!

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 11:19 PM

#

thanks, I don't remember If I mention other stuff I have like npc import or my actor browser fork, (damn I remember I must fix my dog of war shit)

I should mention them there.
but that module exist since few month (I think I started 3 month ago ), so that's expected that it's not very known.

tbh I'm also a new GM, and I felt with the freedom that brings VTT I could make tool that I need.

#

but I should slow down a bit I'm getting too deep , and forgot my normal life and activities.
been a while since I didn't do a cycling race , I should get back to it

i gotta go to sleep as well, but wanted to say that this fixed it

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 11:41 PM

#

royal knoll i gotta go to sleep as well, but wanted to say that this fixed it

that means either the option was not checked , or not properly saved

royal knoll Apr 6, 2026, 11:41 PM

#

it had to be the second one as i tried to insist on it saving on settings

#

fortunately now its saved so, the headache is over

#

good night!

wise coral Apr 6, 2026, 11:42 PM

#

I'll make a check on the saving

serene leaf Apr 8, 2026, 7:42 AM

@royal knoll hi, uhh, is your problem related to token tooltip alt? i think LaSossis current tta configs might be wrong.
While we wait, you could give this one a try (i copy paste infection and reaction from LaSossis config to Valk config, but didnt add infect to any actor that doesnt have heat). You should also change max row to 6 for stuff to display properly i think.
If it's about damage failed to apply (target took 0 damage), have you tried pressing "apply fixes" in the automation settings? That one fixed the no infection damage problem for me

📎 valk-tta-infect-react-added.json

#

oh also could there be a settings that take into account Gorgon's 2 reactions? I don't think the current config has it right?

wise coral Apr 8, 2026, 8:17 AM

#

Reaction in the system is not even a number, I think Gorgon's reaction is not even handle at by the system.

I decide to keep infection even for those who have no heat , because heat is converted to energy damage. they could still "technically" (and it's up to interpretation) have infection and take energy every turn .

I didn't like 6 row , so I left it to 5 .

royal knoll Apr 8, 2026, 12:31 PM

#

hi! just checked the new token stat bar, i really love this integration and how burn, overshield and infection appear on top of hp/heat, it was a nice addition

#

i thought of three suggestions in case you'd like to consider them:

maybe adding an option to disable infection damage would be nice, as not everyone would be playing with those rules, and it appears in mech's sheets occupying space
adding an option in resources to hide how much structure/stress an NPC has (as enemy stats are a secret until they are scanned). like, if an NPC has 4 structure, the bar could render as just one block until the option is turned off, if players scanned it for example
and maybe making the HP / heat bars to change colors, for example; low HP is red, full HP is green, low heat is brown, high heat is orange

wise coral Apr 8, 2026, 12:43 PM

#

for the infection yes i should do it.
the rest , probably not ,its my personal interpretation. bar brawl already exist .
for struct it's literal just a fork ui wise of a bar brawl template. that's it .

change of color i tried , i find it ugly , not necessary in term of information, there already a lot of colors possible. it add confusion

#

(and also i dont want to create an automatic gameplay pipeline with scan and shit, i dont need it )

royal knoll Apr 8, 2026, 12:48 PM

#

thats totally fine ^^ i certainly like both, bar brawl and your new integration, but your animations and overlaying burn/overshield/infection makes it look a lot better imo

wise coral Apr 8, 2026, 12:54 PM

2.8.5 >> Toggle option Infection damage integration

grave scarab Apr 8, 2026, 3:12 PM

#

okay, your bar brawl fork with the overshield and burn overlays is finally gonna get me to try out your module suite. everything looks awesome from your screenshots and videos!

do you want any posts in here pinned? like the first one, with the links to your modules?

wise coral Apr 8, 2026, 3:15 PM

#

sure why not, let me do a lat update on the bar Brawl and then i'll update my post above with all modul and stuff, it a bit outdated

#

making some change , like the minute i started using it in a map with different grid sale, it was not got.
Also adding some options, and changing a bit of design

#

keep in mind that is a kinda my own bar Brawl, so it does not have all the option. like changing color and stuff

#

it more like a bonus stuff in lancer automation

grave scarab Apr 8, 2026, 3:26 PM

#

ohh okay. does it have the ability to change what is visible when? like having text overlay of hp/heat

wise coral Apr 8, 2026, 3:26 PM

#

no

#

it my custom made hud for stats

grave scarab Apr 8, 2026, 3:27 PM

#

gotcha!

wise coral Apr 8, 2026, 3:28 PM

like for exemple the hud will appear on its own when someone take damage, to show the anim.
then disappear

royal knoll Apr 8, 2026, 3:37 PM

that's amazing honestly, really like it

signal solar Apr 8, 2026, 3:38 PM

I've been just using Zenn's config with the latest Bar Brawl (because it looks coolio like statuses you'd see on your HUD to give you info.

So I'm deffo gonna check out what is different with yours.

royal knoll Apr 8, 2026, 4:25 PM

Right, slight note to make here. The Lancer Automations Token HUD does not seem to read actions that are part of Talents.

#

Things like the Quick Action and Reaction of Heavy Gunner (Covering Fire)

#

#

"read" what to you mean ?, does clicking on it works ?

#

btw i see you have the infinity on the movement icon, are you in combat ?

Nope, like how clicking on the other abilities broadcasts them to the chat log.

I've tested both in combat and out of combat.

ok i'lll check

signal solar Apr 9, 2026, 2:36 PM

Yej, also a slight note as well. The Stat Roll for Mech Skills and Pilot Skills don't have a Flat Bonus modifier box. Would it be possible to also add that?

Flat Bonus modifier box, from what by exemple ?

signal solar Apr 9, 2026, 2:36 PM

but they never show on stat roll , like from the base lancer system

signal solar Apr 9, 2026, 2:38 PM

Nah I mean the Flat Modifier add or subtract, think it may be possible to add that? Is a little niche yeah but it would also see some use.

Mainly to Mech Skill and Pilot Skill cards

Testing in the console, it has something to do with restY.

wise coral Apr 10, 2026, 11:34 AM

ok i'll check , for now i'm on an other thing

somber python Apr 10, 2026, 11:34 AM

#

signal solar Ah, I was gonna also report the weird flying animation bug. But someone else bea...

Do you know how to run stuff in the console?

#

const token = canvas.tokens.controlled[0];

const amplitude = Math.max(2, Math.floor(canvas.dimensions.size * 0.03));
const periodMs = 2000;

const tick = () => {
    const baseY = token.document.y + (token.h / 2);
    const t = (performance.now() % periodMs) / periodMs;

    token.mesh.position.y = baseY + offset;
};

canvas.app.ticker.add(tick);

#

See if you can fix the flying bug by pasting the above into the console.

#

function startFlyingBob(token) {
    if (_flyingTickers.has(token.id)) {
        return;
    }

    const amplitude = Math.max(2, Math.floor(canvas.dimensions.size * 0.03));

    const tick = () => {
        if (token.destroyed || !token.actor?.statuses?.has('flying')) {
            stopFlyingBob(token);
            return;
        }

        const baseY = token.document.y
                      + (token.h / 2);

        const t = (performance.now() % periodMs) / periodMs;
        const offset = -(0.5 - 0.5 * Math.cos(t * Math.PI * 2)) * amplitude;

        token.mesh.position.y = baseY + offset;
    };

    _flyingTickers.set(token.id, { tick });
    canvas.app.ticker.add(tick);
}

function stopFlyingBob(token) {
    const entry = _flyingTickers.get(token.id);
    if (!entry) return;

    canvas.app.ticker.remove(entry.tick);
    _flyingTickers.delete(token.id);

    if (!token.destroyed) {
        token.mesh.position.y = token.document.y + (token.h / 2);
    }
}

OH the issue is after moving , shit kinda did nto check that , stupid .
you could have said that. now i can reproduce

#

i'm gonna use tokenMagic that's way simplier

#

forgot it has effect to move token images

#

Stat bar overlay fixe, value numbers on owner + always above token
Fix flying effect -> switched to tokenMagic
2.8.10

Not sure if this matters to anyone, but Lancer Automations seems to be the only module that doesn't highlight yellow when an update is available, always shows as green.

Is this expected?
_ _

wise coral Apr 10, 2026, 1:31 PM

probably because it's not published on foundyr

found a bug i think?: this mech has 6 speed but the boost color doesnt show up until it moves 8 while its moving up in elevation. works fine when its moving across flat ground

#

doesnt seem to happen with size 1 mechs. havent tried any other sizes

ohh wait nvm - i was using drag ruler before and still had the hexagonal shape set to rectangle. it works fine when its set to ellipse

yeah bit of an issue with the coloring , i shoudl look into taht at some point, but it's not a big deal

grave scarab Apr 10, 2026, 5:38 PM

#

yeah its not! it works fine when the hexagonal shape is changed, i just had it set to rectangle since that fixes drag ruler's snapping and forgot to change it back

wise coral Apr 10, 2026, 5:39 PM

ah , well still there is an issue , where sometime the whole ruler becomes yellow .

grave scarab Apr 10, 2026, 5:39 PM

oh weird

wise coral Apr 10, 2026, 5:46 PM

yeah, it been a while since i did that , i had less knowlegle and had many issue.
huh at some point i should get back ot it

#

@grave scarab i see this
you are not using turns in cambat i assume ?

#

i think i should get the movement tracking by turn optional , and if not used , it shoudl just show the movement

grave scarab Apr 10, 2026, 5:52 PM

yeah i was just testing it out so i hadnt activated anyone yet, combat was active though

wise coral Apr 10, 2026, 5:52 PM

I tried installing Lancer Automation module but any time I try to press anything use weapons/systems I get these types of errors and I'm baffled about what's going on, could it be some sort of incompatibility with other modules or did I fuck up some installing step?

wise coral Apr 10, 2026, 8:29 PM

#

"any time I try to press anything use weapons/systems"

i'm gonna need something way more precise to undertand what you do

#

from where, the token action HUD , your sheet ?

tired kiln Apr 10, 2026, 11:02 PM

#

wise coral from where, the token action HUD , your sheet ?

Sorry yeah, sheet, like these buttons

#

with the module active, it just completely breaks them.

#

nothing happens, red error

wise coral Apr 10, 2026, 11:04 PM

#

'm gonna need more detail, i can reproduce .
what is the item ? , high chance i have it to test

#

or does it break all item activations ?

tired kiln Apr 10, 2026, 11:10 PM

#

that's the thing, it's everything as far I can tell that has that sort use or roll element. Saves work, but everything that the sheet has sub elements for, like skill triggers, weapons and systems doesn't work

wise coral Apr 10, 2026, 11:10 PM

#

and when you remove the module it works back ?

tired kiln Apr 10, 2026, 11:11 PM

#

Yes, I tried it turning off all other modules that weren't connect to lancer auto and still borked

wise coral Apr 10, 2026, 11:15 PM

#

what is your version of the lancer system ?

when you have the error i would need more context than the error. with the logs above might have some information

So far i cant reproduce your issue, are you able to reproduce it with an new empty world, with only lancer system and lancer automation installed ?

tired kiln Apr 10, 2026, 11:22 PM

Looks like you hit a "Eureka!" moment there.

wise coral Apr 11, 2026, 2:07 AM

#

yup but tomorow, for 2.9.0

wise coral Apr 11, 2026, 9:52 PM

#

https://github.com/Agraael/lancer-automations

v2.9.1

New Features

Wreck System — Ported from csm-lancer-qol (my own spin with more options) . On death, spawns a wreck/corpse token with per-category settings (Mech, Human, Monstrosity, Biological). Wrecks can be resurrected from TAH. Custom wreck assets folder supported. Built-in sounds and effects included. Can spawn terrain upon death.
Persistent Range Auras — Toggle Max Threat, Sensors, and Max Range auras from TAH (Utility > Ranges). Configurable colors, opacity, and auto-enable modes (none / in combat / always).
onPreStructure / onPreStress triggers — New cancellable triggers that fire before structure/stress damage is applied. Reactions can prevent structure or stress loss.
onPreHpChange / onPreHeatChange triggers — New cancellable triggers with modifyHpChange(newValue) / modifyHeatChange(newValue) to intercept and modify HP/Heat changes.
onHpGain / onHeatGain / onHeatLoss triggers — Renamed from onHPRestored, onHeat, onClearHeat for consistency.
Activation cancel identity tracking — When an Activation cancels a move, the system remembers which Activation did it and skips that reaction on retry, now Chaining cancel from multiple item is possible and the flow is not lost.
awaitActivationCompletion — Replaces forceSynchronous on reactions. Clearer name for the same behavior.
Movement cap improvements — Initializes on combat start for all combatants. ignoreMovementCap option to bypass. Engine-initiated cancels tracked.
Deployable HP=0 destruction — Deployables at 0 HP are automatically destroyed and removed from combat.

#

UI

Config windows redesigned with cleaner layout and shorter hints
Token Action HUD settings moved to dedicated config menu (no longer [BETA])
"Lancer Automations" shortcut in sidebar settings
Force Client Settings lock icons in custom config windows
Infection damage toggle moved into Combat & Movement config
Activation Manager: trigger groups with collapse/expand and count badges
Activation Manager: trigger data reference popup
Wreck config with per-category table grid and terrain type selector

Fixes

Infection DamageType patching works on Forge VTT (resolves correct bundle URL from script tag)
Socket preload handler was dead code at module scope — moved into handleSocketEvent
Movement reroute (changeTriggeredMove) properly tracks _cancelledBy across retries
clearMovementHistory clears movement cap even without Elevation Ruler

@tired kiln it's out if you want to try (pls make it work)

csm-lancer-qol no longer compatible with lancer automations with this update or it is still compatible?

Need to know if this means I need to turn off lancer qol.

wise coral Apr 11, 2026, 10:35 PM

#

welll i do have the compatibiliy checker , that will check any feature of QoL that comflict with lacner automation.

you can have both so long the feature do not conflict

#

shoudl probably mention that

#

but yeah i finally transfered ALL custom feature i did in my modifed lancer QoL

#

i dont need it , is far i am concerned

#

there more custom stuff that i need to port , but my next game is tomorow , i never tested all my shit in an actuall game lol.
it's midnight i'm a bit late in preparation

be wary i change some reaction name in the last update , onHp and onHeat

you would need to canel the structure flow in the middle of it , don't remember wher onStruture is placed

i was just thingking of just entierly not start the normal structure flow and handle it with its own unique structure tbh

wise coral Apr 11, 2026, 10:54 PM

i can move a bit the "onStructure"

to be just after the roll, then provide cancel or modify fonctions

i'll look into it

what do you mean 0.5 they are not 0.5 when diying ?

I'll make something for the volume

I manually change the token sizing to 0.5 rather than 1 dimension on the grid space.

#

So the left one is Size 1 and the right one is Size 1/2.

wise coral Apr 12, 2026, 5:24 AM

I'll make the token inherit

it's the manual sizing right ?

I think you might have missed adding a control volume to one, it's the one that explodes 3 times and then ends with a final psssh noise.

I think you have it set it random sfx right?

Not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but putting tokens in the scene makes it so the attack rolls and toolbox to adjust accuracy/difficulty no longer appears.

For the PC's anyway.

It seems to be an issue with this world only..

I've narrowed it down to one players mech.. but for some reason in another world, it works fine.

And by uploading a fresh copy of their json, everything now works.

somber python Apr 13, 2026, 10:42 AM

#

This time around it just isn't working no matter what I do to it in this world.. I guess it just randomly decides to hate one player token.

Resetting the automation solved it.

Lancer_Elevation_Ruler Fork : 0.11.11

Movement & elevation

Multi-hex tokens now correctly pick up terrain height from any of their occupied hexes (the highest one wins), both when placed and while dragging the ruler.
Climb cost rule clarified: per hex entered, 1 horizontal + 1st elevation unit = 2, each extra elevation unit adds 1 + 1 penalty (so 1H+2V = 4, 1H+3V = 6). This now applies consistently whether the climb comes from terrain, manual [/], or both combined on the same step.
Fixed: hex-vertex drag bug where dragging from a hex corner produced a 0-cost move in one direction.
Fixed: pure manual [/] climbs were double-counted with terrain elevation when both were present.
Fixed: terrain penalties were being summed across every hex of a multi-hex footprint. Now it takes the highest terrain penalty under the token, counted once per step.

G key — changed behavior

Old: "measure to ground" (drop flying token to ground for the measurement).
New: Flying Mode toggle (independent of the flying status). While on:
- A wing icon 🪽 appears next to the ruler label.
- The token only climbs up automatically — it never drops down.
- Cumulated altitude is preserved: flying over a hill 0 → 1 → 0 leaves you at elevation 1 when you land.
- Manual [/] still works on top.

Flying status (actor effect, unchanged rule but now correct)

Flying tokens pay the same base climb/descent cost, but no climbing malus.

Misc

Ruler labels show TLP, DBG, FREE prefixes for teleport / debug / free-movement segments.
New Debug Movement keybinding (no-highlight, no-cost scratch move, useful for repositioning without marks).

#

Lancer Automations 2.9.5

New Features

Add Reserve Dialog — Browse compendium reserves by type (Pilot Bonuses / Resource / Tactical / Mech) or create custom Reserves, Projects, and Organizations matching Comp/Con's interface. Accessible via Utility > Misc > Reserve or the L.A - Add Reserve macro.
Wreck Spawning Improvements — Wrecks inherit disposition and token-factions faction. Player-triggered wrecks forward to GM for token creation.
Custom Measure Aura — New persistent aura with adjustable per-token size (1–100). Toggle from Utility > Ranges > Custom.
Per-Weapon Range Aura — Each weapon's child menu has a "Range (N)" toggle to pin the Weapon Range aura to that specific weapon's range.
HUD Row Counts — Categories and subcategories display the number of items they contain next to the arrow.

UI / Popup Changes

Item detail popups now show disable/destroy toggle buttons in the header for items that support them.
NPC weapon and tech detail popups show flat attack bonus and accuracy (using the Lancer system's reticule/accuracy icons).
Tiered damage for NPC weapons now correctly resolves to the actor's current tier in popups.
Weapon children reordered: FIGHT / primary attack action listed before ATTACK.

Scan & Lock On

Both now use a token picker within sensor range when no target is selected (instead of just warning).

Overwatch

Weapon choice is now filtered to weapons with Threat range covering the target distance.

NPC Flow Fix

NPC tech features with tech attacks now properly dispatch to the Tech Attack flow (rolls attack + accuracy) instead of the plain activation flow.

#

Wreck System Fixes

Terrain cell coordinates fixed (was querying wrong cells).
Terrain elevation per cell — wreck terrain follows the terrain contour (cliff edges work correctly).
Terrain height fallback — uses actor size when Wall Height flag isn't set.
Resurrect no longer re-adds the token to combat.

Multiplayer Fixes

Triggers fire only once instead of per connected player:
- Fall reaction (onTurnEnd)
- Brace reaction removal
- Flight status checks
- Heat/HP gain/loss triggers
- Movement triggers
- Status applied/removed triggers
combatTurnChange runs only on the active GM.

Range Auras (TAH)

"Max Range" renamed to Weapon Range throughout settings and UI.
Default Weapon Range aura color changed from orange to red.
Toggled range auras now stay visible while dragging a token.
"Always" mode auto-applies on token creation, not just combat start.
Toggle writes persist to flags so they survive canvas refresh.
Weapon Range aura supports per-weapon override — shows that weapon's range instead of the max across all weapons.
Toggling Weapon Range from Utility > Ranges clears any per-weapon override.
New Custom Measure row in aura config (color + opacity).

Misc Fixes

Crash fix: missing scope error when csm-lancer-qol is not active.
Auto-patch for csm-lancer-qol: its ungated wreck hooks now respect its own disable setting, preventing flag interference.
Prone status FX no longer conflicts with Slowed status FX.
Movement History dialog: added Revert Last Move button.
Standing Up now costs a standard move (logged in both LA and Elevation Ruler history).
Toggling HUD toggle elements (range auras, measure) no longer closes the TAH column.

Player Groups

https://github.com/Agraael/Vtt-PlayerGroups

new module, basically i'm going to have a second campaign, and i didn't wanna make a new world and have to update both every time i change something. but then some documents should be available to some players and not to others, and maintaining ownership one by one is a pain...

so that's what this module does : you define player groups, and in the normal Ownership Configuration dialog you get a new row per group. set the group's permission, everyone in it updates at once. you can still tweak individual players after.

also adds a little icon on sidebar entries, hover it and you see who owns the thing (if the owners match a group exactly, it shows the group, otherwise the individual players).

first version, we'll see how it goes.

Lancer Automation 2.9.6

New Features

Count Elevation in Combat Distance (opt-in)

New Combat & Movement setting: Count Elevation in Combat Distance (default OFF). When enabled, elevation difference is added to the distance for:

Overwatch threat checks
Engagement adjacency (including the per-step "stopped by" check during movement)
chooseToken range filter (targeting picker)
distanceToTrigger passed to every reaction
getTokenDistance / getMinGridDistance API defaults

Example: a flying token 2 spaces above an enemy 1 space away is treated as 3 spaces away. I think that's the correct thing..

New Automation Triggers

Three new triggers for custom reactions, grouped under a new Token category in the reaction editor dropdown:

onTokenCreated — any token placed on the scene
onTokenRemoved — any token removed from the scene
onTokenVisibility — token's hidden flag toggled (includes isHidden in payload)

Engagement Auto-Updates

Engagement status now re-evaluates whenever a token is placed, removed, or its hidden flag is toggled.

Hidden Token Reaction Filtering

GM-hidden tokens no longer provoke reactions from other tokens
only their own self-reactions fire. Combined with the existing rule that hidden tokens can't be engaged.

TAH: Link to Token

New Utility > Gameplay > Link to Token entry in the HUD (all token types). Pick any target token; the selected token becomes linked as its owner (yellow dashed connection line on hover).
Useful for manually-placed deployables, clones, or custom linking.

API: Elevation-Aware Distance

api.getTokenDistance(t1, t2, includeElevation) and api.getMinGridDistance(t1, t2, overridePos1, includeElevation) accept an optional includeElevation flag.
Default follows the Count Elevation in Combat Distance setting; explicit true/false overrides.

Fixes

wise coral Apr 17, 2026, 8:50 AM

#

it set the token hieght automatically , if it's default is 0, overwise it does not touch the custom value in the prototype token

#

i wont go that deep into that feature, it's just a neat thing i use , not like a core feature of lancer.
you can code your own stuff like that easly with "onStartUp" code

Lancer Automation 2.9.8

Movement System

**Movement Cap Detection [Beta] **: When movement exceeds cap but a Boost would cover it, token owner gets a choice card. "Boost & Move" splits the move: drag to cap boundary → Boost activation → drag to final destination. "No" falls back to the standard stop/continue card.
_rulerMove helper: All coded token movements (cancel/continue, changeTriggeredMove, boost splits) now use Elevation Ruler's Fork moveTokenTo API for correct cost/terrain/elevation tracking. Falls back to raw isDrag.
Multi-segment move history fix
Revert movement fix: Handles ER's teleport snap entries in measurement history, skips past them to find the real previous position.

TAH — Combat Bar

Activations: New Combat Bar with Activations, Actions Toggles and movement history tools
Revert Last Move & Clear History buttons added next to the reset button.

TAH — Title Bar

Team / Disposition indicator (setting, default off)
Combat toggle Button

TAH — Status Panel

Search bar added at the top of the status grid.

Settings

tah.showDisposition: Show Team / Disposition Indicator.
autoTokenHeight / autoTokenHeightVehicleSquad: Settings now registered (were missing).

Half-Size Tokens

Grid centering: 0.5 tokens centered within their grid cell on placement (offset by 25% grid size).

Aura Templates

Range preview texture scale 250→500, Alt-press visibility, E2E ruler on drag.
Persistent aura templates: scroll animation, dashed lines, Alt+target visibility.

Misc

getActorMaxThreat returns 0 for deployable actors.

Elevation Ruler (fork changes)

moveTokenTo(token, dest, extraOpts) API: Simulates a ruler drag using the canvas Ruler pipeline.

So okay, please be very patient with me because I really don't know anything about automation in Lancer. I modified the pattern A smoke chares system a little bit by duplicating the Smoke Mine, renamed it to smoke grenade, and gave it a smoke light and aura that automatically applies Soft Cover. The idea is that the player will drag-drop down the deployable they want.

However, what this has done is somehow replaced the Smoke Mine from Lancer Automation's deployable menu. There's only option to deploy the Grenade, not the mine, and the grenade is deployed with mine's range. I'm trying to make it so that both deployables are selectable from the deployable menu and the grenade would be dpeloyed with range 5?

Question, when things like Overwatch trigger with your automations, are they supposed to actually trigger and show a die roll prompt or is it just a reminder for the player to do it manually?

#

I also get double reaction windows. Here I moved a token away from another (regardless of whether PC or NPC).
