Effects not working for Individual Weapon Entries

[BioPhreak]

So I am trying to modify weapon attacks. One in particular I am trying to mirror is 'Vicious' property

I have searched forums and found this can be done using 'effects'. Sadly the forum does not show how from start to finish.

I have found a list of effects here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/5E_Effects

What this does not cover is how to add these effects to weapons. (Also lacks full start to finish guide for adding in general).

I have added the DMG: damage amount here, critical - as the effects lists says to do and it does not seem to work when a critical is scored and I try to roll the modified damage for the critical hit.

Where is this code inserted to have it trigger for a specific weapon/item?

The only fields in the weapon edit are:
Name
Properties
Attack (Stat + Bonus + Prof)
Damage
Dice+Stat+Bonus Type (Text Field)

I have tried adding that code to both Properties and the Type fields with no success. What am I missing to make this work?

You can't place this particular property (not an effect) on the weapon itself. Additionally effects can't be placed on a weapon at all unless you use this extension (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?40833-5E-Advanced-Effects-(items-npcs-characters)).

What you can do is add an effect to the player character of DMG: 7, critical. However this effect will apply to all criticals that the player makes irrespective of the weapon used. Strictly therefore you would place the effect on the player just before damage is rolled and if set up as in the screenshot the effect will remove itself from the CT. In these circumstances it is just as easy to add a +7 to the modifier box just before the roll for damage is made.

I came here to point out the above ;)

With the extension you can apply effects to a weapon/item and when it's equipped the effect will be applied to the PC. You can also make the effects ONLY active when that item is used for the attack/damage as well... That way you can have a very specific effect on a item and not persistent for all actions.
