Status FX Custom Effect

1469636177

Edited 1469636230
The Status FX script in the Script Library says it supports custom effects. The example shows " death-zone MyCustomEffect ". How/where do I store MyCustomEffect? I want to use the markup for the Orb effect listed in the FX Library .

Just create a new effect with the JSON for the Orb effect, save it, then put in the name of your effect for the 'death-zone' status.

If you select the FX tool, from the drop-down list of FX, there is a Create Custom Effect option. Select that to create a new custom effect. The whole process is explained on the wiki here:&nbsp;<a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Custom_FX#Custom_FX_Tool" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Custom_FX#Custom_FX_Tool</a>

Thanks for the help!
Stephen: I have a similar question. I have already created a custom FX in the FX tool set UI. It is called leadership. It is a burst type effect. I enter leadership in the custom FX API one click area for the red status marker.&nbsp; When I turn on the status effect I get an error:&nbsp;"StatusFX ERROR: Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of undefined" No clue what this means. Can you help?

Are you sure that you entered the name of your custom FX correctly? FX names are case-sensitive, so if it's called "leadership", but you entered "Leadership", it won't work.
