Already reported to MNM. v1.2 does bring a number of changes that should fix the error you were getting, along with a few others that have been reported. If you follow the v1.2 link you will see a changelog.

Wow, that was quick - love this community!
Huge thanks! And also huge thanks to arcanjl for providing bmos with the extension. Legend.

Hi

Last night my everytime my players moved (with token lock), I was getting this and none of the Aura effects were working. I do have a lot of extensions, so I'm assuming that there is a conflict somewhere.

Do you have the latest Token Height extension and aura v1.2?
Token height is where those come from, although they're prompted by aura height asking for the distance between tokens.

Last night I did only have 1.1, and have downloaded the latest version today, but will check Token height now.

When I checked them before the game, no errors came up, only when the players tried to move did the errors occur, and then only on the GMside.

Edit: Token height was also out of date. Missed that as it was already on the 2nd page.

Will test again later. Cheers.

Was your map created with FG Art packs or was it just a regular .jpg map?

It happened on my own map and a map from a module.

Hey folks! I want to try out bmos' aura extension, but I think I haven't used enough extensions to really grok the expectations.

I'm using 4E. The extension loads fine. The Warlord in the party has an ability that grants everyone within 10 squares a +2 initiative from his class ability "combat leader."

So I added a new power effect to his Combat Leader power. It reads:

AURA: 10 friend; Combat Leader; INIT: 2 power

Since the power works on himself and allies, this should work.

And...it does!! The only thing I had to do was actually drag it onto the Warlord's token. I.e. the effect is not automatically applied, you have to "turn it on."

Is that the intended behavior?

Anyway, thanks to bmos and kentmccullough and everyone else who worked on this, I think it's gonna be a huge time saver!

Hey Matt, unless I missed something - most of the extent of it is what's in the original post to my knowledge and then other examples/clarifications scattered across the thread (I've been following it on and off since it came out.)

It'd be cool is someone put something together for most of the main effects that require auras though.

Try here.

https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...ts-programming

Curious whether this will work with Zones in 4E. I.e. "anyone in this zone suffers a debuff."

I think I read it uses Distance From Token? If so would it work if we used a token to mark the center of the zone?

I wonder if you could use this in 4E to do Close Burst attacks and effects without having to manually target everyone?

I got it to work without any problems and have since edited my post with new questions. But you were too fast! :D

And thank you for your running the game videos. They have been very helpful to my GMing over the past few years.

I haven't played 4E in Fantasy Grounds, so I'm not sure of the "standard" expectations there. In general though for most rulesets that I've interacted with effects have to be manually applied either from the effect window or a power. There may be a 4E equivalent of the 5E Advanced Effects extension floating around somewhere, though I haven't seen one.

For Zones it should work as you expect; I've done so for AoE conditions in 5E. Just need to have an entry in the CT and its token on the map.

I don't think auras will be able to help streamline targeting for attacks though.

Persistent effects like that aren't part of the default behaviour of the addon.

There is a 5e addon that adds fields to items, characters, and NPCs for them to have automatic effects that are always active on them: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...cs-characters)

I haven't tested it for compatibility with 4e, though.

Does anyone know how to write Radiant Consumption the aasimar feature using this effect tag?

Tricky, as the effect only applies at the end of your turn, rather than continuous throughout the round, which AURA is made for.

Hey is 0.4 the latest version of aura effects?

No. v1.2 is the latest. You can find it in following bmos' signature link or here:
https://github.com/bmos/FG-Aura-Effect/releases

Thanks

Just to confirm, this works for Unity, correct?

Ok, link says its for 4.1, but I can't seem to get it to work - I just copied the example in the thread and its recognizing the aura on the monster, but wont' roll any damage on them...

Edit 2: Ah, I need to finish reading - Its working now - I needed to get the other extension for that effect to work. All good!

Glad you figured it out :)

Does this flat out not work with polymorphism?

It appears not to, but the last reports of this were with old versions.

Reading the thread looks like silentruin made a change in Polymorphism and it works.

If this is the case, please post back to confirm once you've tried it yourself. If so, that is great news for some 5E users.

Will do

I've just tried this with only aura effects and polymorphism active (both freshly updated) and I'm still getting the same the same error when concentration on polymorph is broken. Attachment 47718

It does seem to only flag the error on the DM side, and both extensions work outside of the error.

I get the same error with both extensions. It does appear to be on the DM side only, and as far as I can tell, doesn’t stop the 2 extensions from working (so far).

Does this no longer work with Classic at all?

It pulls up an error regarding the command OnMove at the very start, and doesnt seem to actually apply the effect anyone in the aura at any time

If you want to use Classic, you can download the version in the first post. It has some bugs though.

bmos, do you still not have the Polymorphism ext?

I would be happy to gift that to you as well, if not.

Correct. I don't have much on DMsGuild because I don't play 5E.
I'll PM you my email, thanks. Hopefully with the extension to reference I can either make this compatible or suggest a fix to SilentRuin.

Is the.original 0.4 the only version that's Classic compatible? Or were there other updates before that?

Correct. I switched the range calculation to the Unity-only getDistanceBetween function in v0.5.

I think this custom version of 0.9 might work in Classic. I took the original range check code and copied it into the later 0.9 version.
If it doesn't work, DM me with the details and I can see if I can get something working for you.
However, this generally is unsupported and will have some bugs from v0.4 that I fixed in the versions after v0.9.

Can you give me specific steps to prompt that error? I now have this extension (thanks to arcanjl) so I can hopefully fix compatibility.
I know it is related to concentration but since I don't use the ext or 5e in general it would help a lot if i had a step by step process to reproduce the problem.
