[Script] PowerCards 3 (Thread 4)

You are the best! <3

Good luck!

I would like to use this script for WoD Vampire where you roll multiple d10s against a difficulty number. Is this possible? Nevermind - I got it to work.

Hello! I love this mod Sky/HB, I'm using it extensively for my monsters and making extensive notes about what each one does.  I couldn't live without it.  :) One problem I'm having though is sometimes it'll look like the power card is on one line, but it's not.  So when I run my ability to 'test' the card part of the card comes up and part of the creatures abilities are dumped straight into chat.  Not ideal, particularly in the middle of combat.  Is there a way to have this work with 'talktomyself' or something similar so I can test and debug without wiping my chat archive all the time? Thank you in advance, Suds

Need you to post your card to trouble shoot it.

Example powercard pasted below.  The techincal issue is that there is a carriage return where there shouldn't be, but from the textbox of the 'abilities' section on the character sheet it's difficult to see.  IMHO the power card is working properly; it took a one line string and parsed it till the <cr>.  It has no idea the <cr> is out of order; the following text could be a description, or anything else.  If powercards worked with 'talktomyself' then that would never show up for the players while I'm troubleshooting.  But not knowing how that all works on the backend I don't know if that's possible. .:: Working ::.: !power --whisper|gm --format|standard --name|Slam --leftsub|Action --rightsub|Reach 5 ft. --Slam|[[1d20cs>20 + 14 ]] for damage [[ 1d8 + 10 ]] plus mummy rot --Mummy rot| Mummy Rot: curse and disease—slam; save Fort DC [[16]]; onset 1 minute; frequency 1/day; effect [[1d6]] Con and [[1d6]] Cha; cure —. Mummy rot is both a curse and disease and can only be cured if the curse is first removed, at which point the disease can be magically removed. Even after the curse element of mummy rot is lifted, a creature suffering from it cannot recover naturally over time. Anyone casting a conjuration (healing) spell on the afflicted creature must succeed on a DC [[20]] caster level check, or the spell is wasted and the healing has no effect. Anyone who dies from mummy rot turns to dust and cannot be raised without a resurrection or greater magic. .:: Broken Example ::. !power --whisper|gm --format|standard --name|Slam --leftsub|Action --rightsub|Reach 5 ft. --Slam|[[1d20cs>20 + 14 ]] for damage [[ 1d8 + 10 ]] plus mummy rot --Mummy rot| Mummy Rot: curse and disease—slam; save Fort DC [[16]]; onset 1 minute; frequency 1/day; effect [[1d6]] Con and [[1d6]] Cha; cure —.

It's the carriage return that is breaking it. Use the following format to avoid those issues: !power {{ --whisper|GM --format|standard --name|Slam --leftsub|Action --rightsub|Reach 5ft etc... }}

I uh....  had no idea that was a thing.  That will clean up soooo many macros.  Thank you very much!

Here is screen shots of what she means Broken Working Looks like a error when coping if you remove the space between it works fine. If you copy text from some where paste it in a word process like word. Stripe all the formatting and then copy and paste into your macros. 

Is there a way to make Power Cards private so everyone does not see them ?  Basically I want to be able to have private rolls between the player and the GM only without everyone in the game seeing it. Xargun

  I believe Whisper is the command your looking for.  Top of this thread has the command info about powercards. Cheers whisper - Sends the title box and body of the power card to the designated target. For example --whisper|GM would send the power card to the GM.

I feel silly - I even looked around for the commands list but apparently I was on the wrong pages.. thanks

All the options are scattered here and there... some day I should collect them all into one place.

Hello again!  I found a quirk that I wasn't expecting, though it's probably a detail that I've never appreciated until now.  If I add an 'fx' line after the powercard it will work if I select my 'target'.  If I escape out (because I want the information on the powercard, and not the fx) the powercard doesn't show up.  Is that expected, or is there a workaround, or is something else I don't appreciate at play? Thank you again for all your hard work.  :) !power { ...awesome powercard stuff here... } /fx 120Breath @{selected|token_id} @{target|token_id} Edit: ... Derp.  I can 'talktomyself' as a workaround.

If you cancel a @{target command like that, it cancels the entire thing.

Ah, that would explain it.  Okay thank you.

Could you make the fx a macro and call to the macro and then if you esc out it might only affect that macro. Worth a try. Or maybe a ?{Use Fx | no, | yes, #macro}

I have my power card spell book macro setup and on my mac it looks like this. The green check box with the white check mark is a Unicode symbol.  But on windows machine it looks like this Anyone know how or even if i can fix this?

I'll check into that Craven!  Thank you. As far as the checkmark goes I think unicode symbols will display based upon what system it's being loaded from.  I blaim MS and apple.  

Sudain said: I'll check into that Craven!  Thank you. As far as the checkmark goes I think unicode symbols will display based upon what system it's being loaded from.  I blaim MS and apple.   This is true. They will also look different on a Chromebook, or on Facebook, etc. They are Unicode characters, not a real font.  Here is an example of the "White Heavy Check Mark" on a variety of systems.

Don't forget you can use ^^ to create line breaks in powercards to put things on their own line inside the same tag. I would also put an empty box in the prepsymbol-0 to line everything up neatly.

Can you explain why the following code will crash the api when used on some characters, but work perfectly fine on others?  Taking off the alterbars conditional lets it work on every character, but doesn't apply damage.  All characters have their health on bar 3.

Which character sheet is his using?

All the characters use the  DnD5e Shaped Character Sheet

How do I correct this error? And what could cause this error?

Hello, I have a small question, is there a way to make 1 / 2 = 1 instead of 0.5 ? I just want to keep the interger like 5 / 2 = 3 instead of 2.5? my formula looklike this : [[ ((@{miles} * 10) * @{valueterrain}) / @{valuemodetravel} ]] Thank you. 

Yeah, use ceil(1/2). Other problems, I'll try looking at them tomorrow or Thursday.

Alright, so I'm getting this error: Could not determine result type of: [{"type":"L","text":"$Atk"},{"type":"M","expr":"8+(floor((16-10)/2))+(ceil((7)/10000000000)+ceil((7)/4))"}] On this macro: I've narrowed it down to the Attack line but I don't really understand what's going on. Any insight? !power  --format|darktheme --tokenid|@{selected|token_id} --name|Shards Oblivion --action|Standard Action --emote|@{selected|character_name} invokes the magic of his hammer and slams it down on the ground\, causing it to scatter in a flash of blinding darkness\. --Target|@{target|character_name} --Range|30 ft\. --Effect|Dexterity saving throw.

Replace [[ [$Atk] 8+@{selected|strength_mod}+@{selected|PB}]] with [[ [$Atk] 8+@{selected|strength_mod}+@{selected|PB} + {0} ]] There's a bug (not a PowerCards bug) with inline rolls that start with a Roll Label ; they throw an error unless they contain a sum roll .

Thank you! I was about to accept my fate and just do [[ [$Atk] 8d1+@{selected| yadda yadda.

Alright, well this is interesting. I can cast any of my macros on any token except one. When it does, it crashes the API. Here's the error.

PS: What program do you use for debugging? I'd love to learn how to fix API's and I'm not super new to programming, just haven't gone super in depth before.

I don't use any program for debugging. It's simply a matter of trial and error and adding log statements here and there trying to find where it crashes. Which unfortunately I can't figure out what it failing based on what you and others have posted here. Only thing I can think of is that their attributes got messed up somehow.

Ah, makes sense. I never considered someone selecting/targeting a drawing. Thanks!

AlterBars 2 is updated with that addition. Dunno if it'll fix other's problems... but hope so!

In my Vampire game I am using a Power Card macro to roll intiative and allow characters to declare their action and dodges. Yet the macro does not report the correct initiative roll to the Tracker. Any ideas? !power {{ --whisper|GM --name|@{selected|token_name} rolls a [[1d10+@{Wits} +@{Dexterity} + @{PumpDex} + @{Armor_Dex} +@{WP} &{tracker}]] for initiative! --Action|@{selected|token_name} 's is going to ?{Action}. --Dodge|@{selected|token_name} has saved ?{Dodges} Dodge(s). }}

You can't use the built in tracker method with powercards. Instead use [[ [TRKR] 1d10 + stuff ]]

Sky said: You can't use the built in tracker method with powercards. Instead use [[ [TRKR] 1d10 + stuff ]] That worked perfectly. thank you

Since I haven't said it already, thank you SO much for your work on this API and AlterBars. Working with these has made a ton of things easier.

An update.   It now shows the "Not a valid target id." error. But it seems that dragging and dropping the token from the Journal and deleting the old one fixes it.

What am I doing wrong with this: !token-mod --set statusmarkers|!bleeding-eye:?{Turns|1} it's just supposed to ask for how many turns and set that status on with that number regardless of whether it was on before or not. Is that not possible? Or am I just doing it wrong?

Is there a way to use something like the [XPND] command that only shows results higher than 0? I'm using Power Cards for my Earthdawn character sheet.  ED uses all kinds of dice, and I have a complex macro to roll the right dice at the right time.  If I use [XPND] now, I see lots of wasted space for the dice that aren't rolled, as well as the actual dice results, and the total.

XPND works on the entire roll unfortunately. Post your macro and a screenshot of what it looks like as well as a short description of how the whole mechanic works and I'll see if there's anything I can do to make it better.

Thanks Ziechael I was half asleep and posted in wrong thread. 

I am working on a macro for my Vampire game and am getting an error. Can another set of eyes see what I am doing wrong? !power {{ --target_list|@{target| |token_id} --name|@{selected|token_name} stares into her target's eyes and attempts to draw out their Soul !!! --Difficulty| [[ [$Dif] (12 - %%PathoE%%) ]] --Consumption of the Soul| [[ (@{Stamina} + @{PumpSta} + @{Empathy} + @{WP})d10> [$Dif]f1 ]] --Limitations| Cannot be used on those with Path of 0 or 1, as well as some following inhuman paths. }} Basically I am reading the target for the %%PathoE%% attribute and subtracting it from 12 to get the difficulty for the roll on he next line.

Just use @{target|PathoE} instead. Target list and info charms is for when you're doing multiple rolls against multiple targets.

I have adjusted my macro as below !power {{ --name|@{selected|token_name} stares into her target's eyes and attempts to draw out their Soul !!! --Consumption of the Soul|[[ (@{Stamina} + @{PumpSta} + @{Empathy} + @{WP})d10>((12 - @{target|PathoE})f1)]] }} But am still getting the following error.
