How do I...
...usse effects coding for NPC's and monsters, particularly spell effects, but some other things as well?
The WotC ones can't be edited but I figured out how to generate copies of them, but that's a LOT of copies to edit.
Is there a short cut?
I lashed out and bought Rob Twohy's effects coding to save time for PC's and to help learn, but NPC's and monsters seem to be on their own.
A work-around or suggestions would be welcomed.
In general spell and ability effects for NPCs show up on the CT when the NPC is placed there. Where there isn't an effect that you want you'll need to add that into the CT or create the effect in the effects dialog and apply it to the NPC from there. I haven't had to do that very often for any NPCs so it shouldn't be too much of a burden.
First time Fantasy Grounds Unity user (I am two days old in that regard), but an ancient game master - I watched the video on creating a new race, diligently following when I see that the Subrace feature does not appear in the race window:

I only have the Ultimate version without any additional modules. So creating things from scratch as an entertaining pastime. :)
Is there a solution for my predicament - how do I access the Subrace option for creating Races?
Welcome :)Quote:

...and thank you for the welcome!
It should have a subrace section when you go into the Other tab. Since by your image that isn't there then I can only imagine that isn't possible in the ruleset you have chosen.Quote:

And welcome to FG
Subrace in 3.5e is different than 5e's ones :) (especially from FG's side I mean) Subraces are basically just races, so, e.g. treat the different type of dwarves as separate races :) Make a separate race entry of each :)Quote:

EDIT: As I see Kelrugem has already supplied. (Thanks!)
Regarding token facing in FGU (and also FGC since the change now is in both versions).
Can someone explain the decision to have token facing go from being done via the mouse wheel to now requring a shift + mouse wheel?
It seems curious to me that a change to what's always worked well requires **additional** key strokes. Alone, it isn't really a big deal, but as a GM, changing facing for every NPC every round, plus almost every PC every round (when tokens are locked), this extra key stroke really adds up over a session.
Now it's only my personal opinion I suppose that this is a backwards step in functionality, but I was wondering if there is a reason for it.
Yes, there is a reason as far as I know (and I think I already wrote that to you in some other thread, but I cannot find that anymore :D). With a hotkey one never accidentally rotates tokens anymore while one is zooming in/out. I play with facing rules and that happened so often which then gets annoying. (and the same for players) That is why I then used some part of an extension changing that to some hotkey+wheel :)Quote:
