[Script] PowerCards 2 (Thread 2)

I was concerned about using == because of Javascript myself. I tested it to make sure it would work fine, and there have been no errors. I then kind of figured out why, and (I think) it's because the information is just passed through. It's like a litany of other symbols used for the varying javascript code, used for formatting, and there doesn't seem to be a problem with them. Well, I haven't run into any problems anyhow.

That's why I suggested ====. =D

It seems as though everyone is worried about whether this would affect javascript... interesting.

Well, I am also planning ahead for the next major update to powercards which will include conditional statements in macro's... and I'm going to use >= == <= != comparisons.

~~~ makes more sense, to me, and shouldn't conflict with anything in the future. :>

April 24th, 2015 ~ 11:20 am eastern Version: 2.4.13 Bugfix: Changed the horizontal rule inline formatting to ~~~ instead of ]_[

Well HB -- I left my divining rod at my parents' house, so I had no idea you had plans for ==. :P

Pssst, update your header to reflect the change to HR :>

Ooookay, new bug found. My macros for my 4e use the --format|BLAH approach. Before going multiline this worked perfectly. Post-multiline they use the wrong format. Cards marked for the 2nd defined style use the 1st defined style. Change to the 3rd listed format and it still uses the 1st. A macro set for the first style, uses no style (player's color). I've flip-flopped USE_DEFAULT_FORMAT and it doesn't change things. Help? :(

Hrm, interesting. Will look at this later... leaving here in a few minutes to get some new blinds and blackout curtains for the bedroom. Night shift is a bugger some times.

Strike the bit about first style displaying no-style. A work-around is to not put --format|BLAH on a line by itself. Which is just fine for me.

Reminder: Put ^^ for linebreak back into the guide

PS: using ~~~ in the name field makes for some really slick looking macros. I have --name|@{selected|token_name}~~~Name of Attack and it really looks nice, IMO

Huh. I'll see about creating you a test case. I think you still have GMship in my 4e campaign, you could go play with stuff there if you like.

Yeah... I see it happening in your campaign, but not in mine. Nevermind, I don't see it happening.

How would you do a target info charm where you want to add multiple variables from the target together? Kinda like this: --Attack#?{Number of targets|1%%|[[1d20+5]] vs [[ %%Reflex%% + %%Reflex Modifier%% ]] Reflex (%%token_name%%) The above command doesn't work.

I also can't get the avatars to appear in the chat window. I include --tokenid|@{selected|token_id}, and the --emote does not have a ! after the |. What am I missing?

Kinda like this: --Attack#?{Number of targets|1%%|[[1d20+5]] vs [[ %%Reflex%% + %%Reflex Modifier%% ]] Reflex (%%token_name%%) The above command doesn't work. You can't do math with the token charms. Not currently at least. Might be possible at some point. As for the avatars, did you turn on custom avatars by changing CUSTOM_EMOTES and SHOW_AVATAR to true?

Why did you put a %% in this section? That is probably causing issues too. --Attack#?{Number of targets|1 %% |

I didn't even see that... --Attack:#?{Number of Targets|1}|[[1d20+5]] is how it should look.

You also need it to read: --charid|@{selected|character_id}, not --tokenid|@{selected|token_id}, unless something has changed.

Sean G. said: You also need it to read: --charid|@{selected|character_id}, not --tokenid|@{selected|token_id}, unless something has changed. Tokens have worked for a long time now. Useful for GM's that just throw out a token and don't make a full character sheet.

Also, using the token image works far FAR better than the avatar image, if your avatar image is largish. I do wish the emote text could wrap around the token image, maybe that can go into a later 3.x update. ^_^

It's bedtime now and I am too tired to test all the possible ways it can break.

Interesting, I tried it with --tokenid|@{selected|token_id} myself, and it doesn't pull up the token image. It pulls up the avatar fine with --charid|@{selected|character_id}. Then again, does that have to do with me using a rollable table for a token?

Oh well, I'm fine with it as character_id anyhow. :)

HoneyBadger, you are a wonderful fellow :>

Then again, does that have to do with me using a rollable table for a token? Hrm, I don't know if I've ever tried tokenid with a rollable table token... ... just tested and it works fine for me. Hrm, I also remember why I didn't use float:left to wrap text. It doesn't center vertically on the token image in the emote.

GenKitty said: HoneyBadger, you are a wonderful fellow :> Which would you rather have? Wrapped or vertically centered?

I would rather have wrapped. My emotes are rarely so short as to need vertical centering :>

GenKitty said: I would rather have wrapped. My emotes are rarely so short as to need vertical centering :> my players tend to use paragraphs too HA HA

My emotes depend on the character(s) and whether I am attempting to be funny. On another note, --tokenid|@{selected|token_id} started working out of the blue.... I have no clue why it wasn't, but it started working all of a sudden.

when using power cards i just get : API: checked the script and nothing showing up broken.. any ideas ? I'm guessing its from the API update but i've no clue what that has done to it.

HoneyBadger said: You can't do math with the token charms. Not currently at least. Might be possible at some point. As for the avatars, did you turn on custom avatars by changing CUSTOM_EMOTES and SHOW_AVATAR to true? Both CUSTOM_EMOTES and SHOW_AVATAR are set to true. I also tried it with --charid|@{selected|character_id} instead of --tokenid|@{selected|token_id}, and that didn't work either. Is there something more I'm supposed to do?

Azul, can you give some more details about your setup? Do you see the output in the API Console? What command are you issuing?

OldSchoolChris: where do you get a;d;m ? In the chat or in the API Console?

This is what output I get with the following code: !power {{ --charid|@{selected|character_id} --emote|@{character_name} attacks @{target|character_name} with his dagger. --format|atwill --name|Dagger Slash --title|Components: None ^^ Duration: Instantaneous ^^ This is a simple attack using a dagger. --leftsub|Standard Action --rightsub|Range @{weapon2range} ft. --Attack:|[[ 1d20cs>2 + @{accuracybonustempadj} [Accuracy Bonus] - @{accuracypenaltytempadj} [Accuracy Penalty] - @{armoritemtotalhitpenalty} [Armor Penalty] ]] Vs [[ @{target|armor}]] --Hit:|[[ 1d@{weapon2dice} + @{weapon2extradamage} [Bonus Damage] ]] slashing damage }} It does the same thing with --tokenid|@{selected|token_id} instead of --charid|@{selected|character_id}.

GenKitty said: Why did you put a %% in this section? That is probably causing issues too. --Attack#?{Number of targets|1 %% | I used the %% because that is what the example had above. Good Examples !power --name|Single Target Attack --target_list|@{target| |token_id} --Attack|[[1d20+5]] | [[1d20+5]] vs %%AC%% Armor Class (%%token_name%%) --Hit|[[1d8+3]] slashing damage !power --name|Scorching Burst | Nine Targets --target_list|@{target|1st|token_id} | @{target|2nd|token_id} | @{target|3rd|token_id} | @{target|4th|token_id} | @{target|5th|token_id} | @{target|6th|token_id} | @{target|7th|token_id} | @{target|8th|token_id} | @{target|9th|token_id} --Attack#?{Number of targets|1}|[[1d20+5]] vs %%Reflex%% Reflex (%%token_name%%) --Hit|[[1d8+3]] fire damage

Yours: --Attack#?{Number of targets|1%%|[[1d20+5]] vs [[ %%Reflex%% + %%Reflex Modifier%% ]] Reflex (%%token_name%%) Example: --Attack#?{Number of targets|1}|[[1d20+5]] vs %%Reflex%% Reflex (%%token_name%%) %% %% is used to enclose charm variable names, so in your example you have a spare %% in the 'number of targets' rollquery, and I see now you didn't close off your rollquery with its closing }, which also would have caused issues.

%% are used for token charms, wherein they open and close, e.g.: %%bar3%% replaces every instance with whatever value is in bar3 on a token. They simply call information. However, you missed a closing brace on ?{Number of targets|1}. Without that closing brace, it won't work properly.

And evidently GK and I spotted the brace at the same time...

Sean, powercards is the only script I have active, tags work fine but any time i add a inline roll of any kind the only output i get is : API: in the chat.

Thanks. :) I fixed that.

I FIGURED IT OUT!!! If you have a space after --tokenid|@{selected|token_id}, then it won't work. You need to be sure that there is no extra space after that line.

Azul, do this in chat: !power --name|Test [[1d20]] Tell us if that fails.

Azul - You mean Aaron. I appreciate the elevation in status, but definitely not me.

Azul, can you post here, what the macro is you are attempting to use? I'm asking because from what I understand, with nested inline rolls, there were some changes that needed to be made (if I remember right) to inline roll macros.

OOPS, meant Aaron yes. tried !power --name|Test [[1d20]], i get : API: , as for my macros i've tested everything i can , if i just use tags it works, if i add a inline roll i get : API: . I have tested this on two different campaigns on the dev server. One ran by me and another by a friend and the same problem exist. Everything on production servers works fine.
