Aura/Tint HealthColors Can anyone bring this back to its former glory?

This was one of my favorites, loved the blood spatter and the aura heal effect. However, ever since Jumpgate it was lost and now I sad. I know it has some bugs especially if you are using other APIs with the 2nd aura. I only use this one and Group Initiative though.

This was sent to me as part of a discussion about the same- certainly works for me - here's the original discussion <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/12478610/aura-tint-health-colors-and-jumpgate/?pageforid=12478610#post-12478610" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/12478610/aura-tint-health-colors-and-jumpgate/?pageforid=12478610#post-12478610</a> /* global createObj TokenMod spawnFxWithDefinition getObj state playerIsGM sendChat _ findObjs log on*/ /* My Profile link: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/users/262130/dxwarlock" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/users/262130/dxwarlock</a> GIT link: <a href="https://github.com/dxwarlock/Roll20/blob/master/Public/HeathColors" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/dxwarlock/Roll20/blob/master/Public/HeathColors</a> Roll20Link: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/4630083/script-aura-slash-tint-healthcolor" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/4630083/script-aura-slash-tint-healthcolor</a> Version 1.7.1 - Mar 6 2025 - Updated FX effects: The damage/healing FX now use the simpler DeathTracker approach.

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong but pasted it into a new ApiScript, deleted the old one. But still do not get the healing animation or the blood spatter.

Am out rn, but can look when I get home. I wonder if there was some setting up in-game iie in the Aura menu where you identify whether auras are shown at whatever percentage etc, I recall there being a place to identify the FX used.&nbsp;

OK, so I know I messed about with this a bit before seeking help and I set up two custom FX -DefaultHeal and -DefaultHurt Hurt is&nbsp;{ "angle": 270, "angleRandom": 25, "duration": 50, "emissionRate": 100, "endColour": [175, 0, 0, 0], "endColourRandom": [20, 0, 0, 0], "gravity": {"x":0.01, "y":0.65}, "lifeSpan": 25, "lifeSpanRandom": 5, "maxParticles": 150, "size": 10, "sizeRandom": 3, "speed": 8, "speedRandom": 3, "startColour": [175, 0, 0, 1], "startColourRandom": [20, 0, 0, 0] } and Heal is { "angle": 0, "angleRandom": 180, "duration": 50, "emissionRate": 1000, "endColour": [0, 75, 30, 0], "endColourRandom": [0, 20, 20, 0], "lifeSpan": 50, "lifeSpanRandom": 30, "maxParticles": 150, "size": 10, "sizeRandom": 15, "speed": 0.5, "speedRandom": 2, "startColour": [0, 35, 10, 1], "startColourRandom": [0, 10, 10, 0.25] } and !aura gives me this - the two buttons to be defined are shown with their default text to the side [edited for clarity]

So, because I love throwing the dice, I deleted -DefaultHeal as one of my custom FX and set it back up and lost the ability to get the heal effect.&nbsp; The old grey cells, they are working Hastings, no?&nbsp; You need to setup the two custom effects as I have listed them then: 1: Click the button labelled Custom FX ids you will get a list of IDs 2: cut n paste the heal one into the drop down that comes up when you run !aura&nbsp; -where I have the words glow-holy above 3: do the same for the hurt ID&nbsp; - where it says splatter-blood above game should give you a message about updated tokens That should see you right

Thanks so much for your help it is working now. The heal is a bit different than what it used to be, as is the hurt. The heal has a holy glow instead of the green bubbles and the blood spatter looks like the character got hit by a shotgun blast at point blank range! Great stuff, thanks so much for your help!&nbsp;

Did you setup the DefaultHurt and DefaultHeal I posted and then find the CustomFX ids? Those have to be put in to replace glow-holy and splatter -blood, then you will have the old style effects

I did cut and paste them in, I copied the hurt one provided and placed in Blood-Spatter, and then pasted the heal one in glow, but still get the glow animation and the blood spray.&nbsp;

how did you get the ids?

Just making sure this is clear, the -DefaultHeal and -DefaultHurt are Custom FX and need to be set up using the FX button on the left hand side of the VTT menu. If you are using the API I posted , this will not work with the original API, there is a button at the bottom labelled Custom FX IDs. This produces a menu that is easy to miss because it also reloads the !aura menu and so is pushed up the chat menu. It is those IDs that need to go in those drop downs. If successful you will see the IDs under those buttons as per my penultimate pic above

The instructions are a bit scattered now, let me see if I can bring it all together here Go to your game/ Settings/Mod(API) scripts Click New Script (1 in the image) Cut and paste the API I have in my first post here, give it a name and save it, make sure it is enabled Launch the game Go to Effects and +Custom Effect (2 and 3 respectively in the image) Copy and paste the healing custom effect I listed above, give it a name and save it, repeat for the hurt effect (4 in the image) You should now see those listed under Custom Effects in the drop down when choosing an effect and selecting Custom Go to chat and type !aura, you will get the menu shown at the end of my post containing the effects code Click Custom FX IDs (5 in the image) and the chat menu will post the aura menu again BUT above it will be a smaller menu with all your custom effects listed (second image in this post) Copy the heal effect ID and paste it in the drop down that appears when you click the button labelled 6 in the image Repeat for the hurt effect, clicking button labelled 7 You should now see the IDs listed under the buttons as per my image and that should be you ready to go

ah okay, i missed a few steps it seems. I will try this tonight thank you.

Yes, got it! Thanks for the extra indepth walk through. It is working great now. Originally I just entered !aura, brought up the chart and copied the Heal into the GlowFX area. And the Hurt copied and pasted into the HurtFX.&nbsp;

No problem - I had to really dredge my memory as I have only done it once, every game since has been based off the same template and works, I haven't given it a thought in ages : )
