View Full Version : 4E Effect Not Working

I am trying to code the Dodge Giants feat, which gives a +1 bonus to AC, and +1 to reflex when attacked by a creature of size large or greater. I have found that although specifying size as "L", "H", and "G" are supposed to work the same as specifying "large", "huge", and "gargantuan", none of these abbreviations work as they are supposed to.
Also, when I use ">=L" or ">=Large" the ">=" does not work as it is supposed to.
I tried to code the affect as
IFT: SIZE(>=Large); AC:1; REF:1
as per the wiki, but the above does not work.
In order for it to work, I have to add three effects, one for each size of attacker
i.e.
IFT: SIZE(Large); AC:1; REF:1
IFT: SIZE(Huge); AC:1; REF:1
IFT: SIZE(Gargantuan); AC:1; REF:1
I didn't have any extensions loaded.
Can someone take a look please?

I just had @superteddy57 check this on the current Live version; and I checked this out on my development machine.
"IFT: SIZE(>=Large); AC:1; REF:1" worked when the PC had the effect and was attacked. (see images)
You might need to provide a sample campaign folder zipped up with everything set up for the attack roll; and let us know which attack to make to see the issue.

Upon further testing, I see that using the ">=" works only if typed directly into the combat tracker, but it doesn't work if applied by clicking on a button to apply that same effect. The ">=" gets replaced with blank characters when clicking on a button to apply the effect.
Note that in order to test this, I created a new campaign, and increased the size of my dwarf to Huge. He is targeting himself, and I tested using the Cleave At-Will power. The Dodge Giants effect I had been testing is on the Powers tab, in the Situational powers/effects section near the top.

The second issue, is that the abbreviations for size, L, H, G don't seem to work, even when typed directly into the combat tracker.
Sorry, I'm not a GM so not that familiar with Fantasy Grounds. I am just a player trying to reproduce an issue that occurred in a 4E campaign in which I'm a player.
Thanks for looking at this!

Understood. We're just trying to figure out what the difference is between what you are seeing, and what we are seeing.
Thanks for the additional info. We'll take a look.

Just pushed a CoreRPG hot fix that should help with that. Please run a new Check for Updates, and try again.

That seems to have fixed the issue with the ">=" not working.
Thanks for the quick fix!
