FGU - How do you place the action icons in the Story components?

[willquestion]

I'm converting an adventure into a module to run soon but I can't figure out how to make the 5 icons/graphics that represent different types of actions. I came across this article but I still can't get the icon to work. https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/PFRPG2_Action_Symbols

Side note, I'm on a Mac, if that makes any difference.

Please provide more information as to what isn't working. There are various options listed in that wiki article. What are you trying?

If you're trying text subscription, then that is only available in the fields listed.

If you're using Fg Unity then, as indicated, you need to be on ruleset release 14 for the text substitution to work.

Hi, Trenloe.

I'm trying to put the icons that represent one action, two actions, three actions, free action, and reaction into things like Story and NPCs. Whenever I use a text code that is suppose to then convert to the icon, I get a blank spot instead. Here is an image I found onlne of the Pathfinder 2e symbols just to avoid possible confusion.

You mentioned ruleset 14. I checked and I'm running PF2 Release 13. Where do I get the 14th release?

Are you using a font ext. by any chance?

It's currently in the test channel. Or you can wait until it's released to Live - probably tomorrow.

Hi, H2Os.
The only extension I'm using with the PF2 ruleset is the Creature Parser.

Oh, okay. I'll just wait until tomorrow. So I'm guessing the update already addresses it? Is that right?

As mentioned above in post #2: "If you're using Fg Unity then, as indicated, you need to be on ruleset release 14 for the text substitution to work."

I am on the new release 14 and tried this to no avail. No text substitution happens regardless of which option I try. [[A]], [[one-action]], ALT+0141. I even tried  in the XML. I tried all of those in the description of a spell. It never showed up.

I am a little confused here. Not sure which part to believe. In red it says it's not working. Then underneath it says that it should now work.

Since it does not work, I'll take it as the red is the correct information.

The text underneath is the original announcement. The text in red is indicating there is an issue. If stuff is in red then that’s what is the important info.

I didn't want to start a new thread, but does the Offensive or Proactive Abilities text field not support the action symbols?

It doesn't support the text replacement at this point. That's an oversight on my behalf. Sorry. Aiming to get it into the next release.

[H2Os]

No worries, thank you.

I've been trying to get the free action symbol into a story, but none of the shortcuts appear to work. as described here I tried all of the options and alternatives, but they all converted to what you see in the picture below.

https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/PFRPG2_Action_Symbols

For the other symbols, I ended up copy/paste from existing entries, but couldn't find a free action symbol that was copiable.

As mentioned in the "Action text substitution" section of that Wiki page - the substitution isn't available in all fields, including story fields (as these are base CoreRPG functionality). Put a symbol in a field that does do the conversions (there's a few listed in the Wiki page) then copy/paste in a story entry.
