Right, what you want is LOS detection and you can't

You can put a tag on them (I think you might need GA ext) that is called; "NOTARGETING", which would make them non targeted by anything until that is removed. Doesn't fully sound like what you are trying to do but figured I would throw that out there.

But correct, there is no way to check to see if a target is "seen" or not, you can check to see what sensitivity something is in, but you can't see what state of LOS it's in, plus it would be costly (CPU) in checking that. Which is also why I think SW doesn't want us in that area for LOS.

It wouldn't have been based on LOS. Just on the state of a given token visibility (getVisibility == nil) for mask sensitivity (which isn't dependent on LOS). So in other words if a given token is set for mask sensitivity it would be in the aura. Doesn't matter if it is in LOS or not, I would just have wanted the aura to kick in based on the mask sensitivity == nil. Would have required a flag in the Aura effect to indicate that we actually want that behavior.

You're right this could be done, however, its not in the AURA coding.

The latest update seems to have affected performance with Aura Effects. With the extension loaded, the paladin token movement is jerky, sometimes created Mac beachballs. Everything returns to normal when the extension is turned off.

Hi!
I want to code an effect using BCEG, Chat Effects and Aura extension in a wild magic randome table.
The effect it's a fireball explosion that affects the players and all the creatures within 20 feets. The DC is the same as the wild magic user:

I tried coding:
[EFFECT] Aura: 20 all; Fireball Explosion; SAVEA: (SDC) DEX (H)(M); SAVEDMG:5d6 fire;

But when I apply the effect to the PC (center of the explosion), the save is only made by the PC. I don't know why the "SAVEA..." it's not in the creatures effect tracker...

How could I code it correctly?
Thanks!

I changed Aura to all caps, changed SAVEA to SAVES, changed the brackets around SDC and then added a space before 5d6 and the effect seemed to work for me.

[EFFECT] AURA: 20 all; Fireball Explosion; SAVES: [SDC] DEX (H)(M); SAVEDMG:5d6 fire;

If you are going to use any of the bce/g tags that are on add.If you wish them to apply the applied effect you'll need to guard that with an IF: FACTION(notself)

I think in this case they are not trying to exclude the target of the fireball/explosion.

So i have sifted through, and tried ALL of the things I've seen in this thread, to try and get the Barbarian's, Totem of the Wolf working where, specifically, any foe within 5' of the barbarian GRANTS advantage to the barbarian's allies/friends. This seems ripe for creating with an aura, but I haven't been able to get this working. This seems totally doable with the group of (coding effects, + aura effects) that I have purchased from the forge so far. Here's all of the plugins/addons that I have active so far. The problem I've seen with every solution listed above, is that the barbarian ALSO gets the buff to use the "Advantage" roll on the nearby enemies when the rules clearly say that they shouldn't. Can someone give me the exact aura to use here? Ideally this is in a single aura that can be used, not multiple for say, one aura on "self" for the barbarian, + one more for all nearby allies to try and capture the same thing BUT from the ally's side of things. Ideas are welcome. Cheers!

Do you have BCEG? If so, this post should give you the answer: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...l=1#post716097
