[Script] PowerCards 3 (Thread 3)

I tested it out (disabling HB's, of course), and it now shows the "--emote|" line like it did before this update. Thanks, TheAaron

Just waiting for the opportune moment. =D 

Aaron's explanation has made me hungry.

Something made me sleepy. It is probably the fact that my alarm went off at 4:30am today, like it does every weekday, but I am still gonna blame TheArron anyways... ;)

Lake / James said: Just loaded this script up and am having an issue getting the defenses to show for a multiple target attack power. Specifically, the Scorching Burst example listed in HB's post. The defense attribute is called "ref" instead of "Reflex" and I tried using that, but it just spits out a list of what attributes are supposed to be added together, not the numbers and not adding anything together. These are the two different outputs I get, the first using "ref" and the second using "Reflex" (ignore the quicksilver motion block). The errors that appear in the API output console for the second one are beneath the image. "Error: No attribute or sheet field found for character_id -Jk9u2J9_ONGc30joq2- named Reflex" "Error: No attribute or sheet field found for character_id -JkTvdxthkejBUeOVSK3 named Reflex" "Error: No attribute or sheet field found for character_id -JkTvhFh4uzA4ciD-Sth named Reflex" Anyone able to come up with what I'm doing wrong here? Or if there even is a way to fix this?

@Lake / James, I don't know. I just tried and it worked for me. What character sheet are you using?

Using the normal DnD 4e sheet. I tried it in both of my 4e games, and it does the same thing in both. Edit - Just to clarify, it only breaks with the multi-target usages, and only when the targets "defense" is a calculated attribute.

Update on line 63.  This should fix all inline roll problems ( floor() and ceiling() were still broken): msg.content = msg.content.replace("$[[" + Count + "]]", ("[[" + msg.inlinerolls[Count].expression + " ]]").replace(/\[\[\[/g, "[[ ["));

What happens if you put @{charactername|ref} into chat?

Edit - Just to clarify, it only breaks with the multi-target usages, and only when the targets "defense" is a calculated attribute. Durr... I totally forgot that token info charms do not work with calculated character sheet attributes. You could create different named attributes on the character sheet and put [[@{ref}]] in that attribute. That would allow you to use multi-target attacks and pull the proper numbers. Or you could get whomever made the D&D 4e sheet you're using to put the calculated attribute into an inline roll in the sheet itself. I think that might work. I dunno.

Nope, that just does the same thing. It's just weird to me that it works just fine for single target, but not for the multi target.

Single target and variable target use different parts of the program, so it makes perfect sense to me that the Charms don't handle calculated attributes.

The problem is that auto-calculated attributes like @{ref} turn into this when PowerCards sees it ... @{ref-ten}+@{ref-ability}+@{ref-armor}+@{ref-class}+@{ref-feat}+@{ref-enh}+@{ref-misc}+@{ref-misc2} ... which is not helpful at all. I've been trying to make it work, but each attempt messes up token charms or requires special formatting, which I've been trying to get away from. I'll keep poking away at this though.

Hi, Just catching up with months of changes. If I understand correctly, to use&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1187040/script-s" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1187040/script-s</a>... the only change I need to do is to change lines like "--text1|^* some text" to "--^* some text", correct? Or am I missing something else? Cheers, Leo

Yes, even after copying the character, I'm still getting no picture and that weird&nbsp;FMyFJ after the title. -Nevermind, 3.2.9 fixed it. &nbsp;Thanks! Marko

Is there an adjustment that I can make to the script to have the powercard (emote and avatar included) spread out further to the left, so that its even with the chat entry box? see blue line below...

You can add "margin-left: -45px;" strategically throughout the script: Line 237 and 238 should handle the emote, line 242 should handle the powercard.

242 is showing a "margin-left: -10px" &nbsp;guessing I just adjust that to -45? Edit: Ok, -45 takes it all the way to the slide bar (max width), if you do -25 on line 237 & 238, and -35 on line 242 (the -25+-10 already in) they both line up with the chat entry box... or as close to it as I care to get.&nbsp; Thanks!! (the little bit of extra makes the majority of my x vs. y output stay on one line without having to resize the chat window.... its the little things in life)

=D no worries!

If you turn off chat avatars, it collapses that gap. If you adjust it left with chat avatars and someone turns off chat avatars, it goes even more to the left and gets cut off.

I don't suppose there's a cap on conditionals in a single macro or anything is there? I have one that is 90% conditionals (~160 lines or so) and every once in a while it likes to just randomly throw the wrong answer, and no matter what I do I can't figure out why. The reason for the absurd size is basically it's the rogues primary shot. Manyshot has Sneak Attack and Spliting. I put up the macro in its entirety on github here <a href="https://gist.github.com/Mythrarin/5f6d1a9cea0fd8916537" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/Mythrarin/5f6d1a9cea0fd8916537</a> Figured it'd be faster than trying to describe/explain it. Although, the reason I use "&gt; 18" rather than "&gt;= 19" is that it seems to work properly more often than the latter. Example issues are: This also happens periodically in the main attack line, but I couldn't find any examples from the other nights game. And it's not just this lone macro, although due to it's size it often comes out as the main attention. I'll have melee crits that don't double, or other such incidents elsewhere. Of course I would just like to clarify one thing. This issue seems to happen just enough for me and my players to notice. Almost all of the time it works perfectly, except when it doesn't those 5-10 times a night. (Across macros rolled by 6 players for ~5 hours. That's a good average.) Just figured I'd stick my head in and mention something.

July 31st, 2015 ~ 8:45 pm eastern Version: 3.2.10 Link: gist.github.com/Sky-Captain-13/452330a3d926b32da49c Bugfix: Passing a message to PowerCard.Process does not require a player object any longer and will not crash the script without one. What this allows you to do is write a script for whatever you want and send a message to PowerCard.Process (formatted like a powercard macro) and display it in chat. If you have questions about this and what you can do with it, just ask in the thread.

Awesome, I've been intending to do a few things like this for my game. Out of curiosity, will we be seeing 3D dice intergration any time soon?

Calhanol said: Awesome, I've been intending to do a few things like this for my game. Out of curiosity, will we be seeing 3D dice intergration any time soon? Doh, I forgot about that. Should be simply enough to add. Just need to add a reserved tag like --3D|true that defaults to false. Been doing a lot of planning for my wedding/reception and haven't had much time for scripting lately.

Pffft. Weddings are overrated. Receptions are where it's at. Of course, if my wife of 16 years read this, she would skin certain parts of my anatomy. This would be uncomfortable.

Heh, if my soon to be mother-in-law doesn't stop putting her nose where it doesn't belong, my fiancee is going to drag me to the court house, we'll have a small ceremony with the guy who introduced us and his wife and be done with it. And it won't be because I'm the one pissed off. She keeps ticking off my fiancee. 0_o On topic... I tried adding 3D dice support and it simply doesn't work. I don't know how to make it work either. Will keep trying though.

Is there a way to display use the value of a named roll in inline rolls further down? I don't want the players to see the rolls themselves, just the final result of the roll. With the -hroll feature i think I can do this but how to I use the $ID value in inline rolls later on?

Disregard, API had crashed for some stupid reason :P

ok, HB - I am slow and not sure what it is that your update does. would you be so kind as to toss out an example for the novice scripters :)

DK Heinrich said: ok, HB - I am slow and not sure what it is that your update does. would you be so kind as to toss out an example for the novice scripters :) It prevents the script from crashing if you send information to PowerCard.Process from another script without sending the player object. For example, the It'sATrap script can now be modified to output a powercard without crashing powercards. var TrapMsg = {}; var TrapMsg.who = (get name of token that triggered trap) var TrapMsg.content = "!power --name|Spear Trap --Attack:|[[1d20]] vs AC --Hit:|[[2d8]] damage"; PowerCard.Process(TrapMsg);

Also, PowerCards still remains incompatible with the current implementation of 3D dice and will remain that way until something else changes.

ok, thanks - I think that helps. I will try it out soon and see what I can do with it.&nbsp;

HoneyBadger said: Also, PowerCards still remains incompatible with the current implementation of 3D dice and will remain that way until something else changes. That sucks. &nbsp;I think the dice have come a long way and I would like to use powercards and 3d dice. &nbsp;Bummer

Hey guys--I'm hoping this is an easy fix and I've just missed a minor change or something. Basically all of my PowerCards macros have stopped working--I think it may be related to the changes for Roll20's latest update and I might have missed having to update something. I went to find the simplest macro I've got that fails--this one fails silently. Doesn't display a PowerCard or affect the tracker, but no Javascript errors in the API settings page. !power {{ --charid|@{character_id} --emote|@{selected|token_name} rolls initiative! --format|battle --name|Initiative --Initiative|[[ [trkr] 1d20+@{Initiative}]] }} (In case it matters: 3d dice are disabled.)

...never mind, appears to have been the general API problem Roll20 was having tonight. O_O

No news on any PowerCards updates. Just been busy with work, overtime... lots of overtime, and wedding planning. And more overtime to pay for said wedding planning. I still intend to find some way to create true variables, but it will require a lot of work I just don't have time for at the moment.

Good luck on the wedding planning - you only do it a few times in a lifetime... :) as far as this stuff goes - I am still hoping to find a way to make PowerCards and AlterBars to work at together - I hit my macro it spits out a pretty power card that sends the damage total to alterbars that in turn adjusts the bar on the target (that in turn triggers blood to splatter on the screen with use of Mark's new version of BloodSpatter and Conditions script).&nbsp;

You'd need to alter AlterBars to accept the x.inlinerolls object from PowerCards and parse through that to get the information you need/want.

I highly recommend Javascript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford . &nbsp;It's a short book with loads of good information about how to write good Javascript. &nbsp;Definitely ping me if you have any questions, I'm happy to talk at length about programming. &nbsp;=D&nbsp;

Looking into it today - and expect a ping at some point... as you already know I am full of requests lol EDIT: the book is now mine!&nbsp;
