Ruleset 4e
Clean test campaign
Extensions: Token Height Indication 4.20 and Aura Effects v1.11
Both extensions need to be loaded to get error.
Error happens on map load when two or more tokens have aura effects applied.

when you say clean test campaign, do you mean test channel or just that it's a campaign for testing?
It'd be great if you could send the campaign over.

I can make it go away by commenting out TokenHeight.refreshHeights() on line 257 of image.lua in my extension. I could push the update, but then nobody can see a height change until somebody adjusts the height of any token. I can do that if need be, unless you see something on your end.

I am also seeing this error

@bmos It looks like image.lua : onIinit is called just once without Aura Effects and 29 times with Aura Effects (for 6 tokens). I put in a boolean to protect against repeated calls, but that's not working - is there any way a bunch of new images are being created?

Nothing intentional, but there must be if it's getting called that often. Maybe printstack() will say what's triggering it?

Okay, reverted TokenHeight back to v4.19 until I can figure out a better way of forcing the indications to show up automatically for the server and client. In the meantime, unfortunately you'll be stuck with having to manually adjust a token by the GM once before it can be adjusted by a player thereafter. Aura Effects is all good - it was something weird in TokenHeight.

Does anyone know what extension lets you see auras?
I remember coming across it here at some point, but can't find it for the life of me.
I want to link in the Forge description of this extension.

I've never used it, dunno how well it works but this is likely the one you talkin about.

This is the one I use for spell tokens.

aha! Thank you!

I've encountered some unexpected behavior, or maybe I'm missing something. I have this aura:

Code:

---

Annihilation Aura; LIGHT: 10 darkness; IFT: CUSTOM(Annihilation); ADVATK; AURA: 10 all; SDMGOE: 6 necrotic

---

It is supposed to cast 10 feet of darkness, apply an advantage attack on those with an Annihilation effect, and also provide an aura that deals 6 necrotic damage at the end of the source's turns.

However, the aura isn't working. If I delete the "LIGHT: 10 darkness" however, it does work.

Code:

---

Annihilation Aura; LIGHT: 10 darkness; IFT: CUSTOM(Annihilation); ADVATK; AURA: 10 all; SDMGOE: 6 necrotic

---

Additionally, if I *start* deleting "LIGHT: 10 darkness" from the end of this string in the combat tracker, it starts working once I've deleted "darkness":

Code:

---

Annihilation Aura; LIGHT: 10 ; IFT: CUSTOM(Annihilation); ADVATK; AURA: 10 all; SDMGOE: 6 necrotic

---

Any ideas if I'm doing something wrong, of if this is a bug?

I'd say that should be at least two separate effects.
Mixing AURA effects and non-aura effects like that gets messy because of how this extension was built.
Honestly, I'm surprised that it works without darkness!

Ah, ok thanks for the quick reply! I have a number of effects with auras and non-auras, so it seems to work much of the time, this is the first time it hasnt worked lol. I have two effects now, appreciate it.

I will try and see why that was happening though, because it is pretty strange that it didn't like "darkness" there.

Trying this extension for a Paladin and Cleric's auras, as stated above.
Paladin: Aura works as advertised. Applying when within 10 feet and removed when target moves more than 10 feet away.
Cleric, However: w/Spirit Guardians... it seemed to work for the first target (kinda). It pushed the save, but did not apply damage. Then on subsequent turns, it wouldn't even push the save with the target within the 15-foot radius.
Formulas were inputted exactly as printed.

Can you post the formula you doing, and which EXTs you using (like to trigger the save, normally BCEG or Ongoing Saves)

I've added a few things in, mainly is the "AURA" effect, the other is an additional conditional helper "FACTION()"

A few examples for how you would use this.

Code:

---

AURA: 10 friend; Aura of Protection; SAVE: 5

---

This will add a 10 foot aura around the person who has this effect, everyone within 10' will receive an effect "FROMAURA:Aura of Protection; SAVE: 5"

Everything after the "AURA: #distanceInFeet auraType;" will be added to other tokens when applicable inside the distance prepended by "FROMAURA:"

What this means is the paladin themselves will not gain a FROMAURA: effect, however the SAVE: 5 will still work for them as well.

This is why I've added in the additional conditional type "FACTION()"

For things like Spirit Guardians I've used it like this:

Code:

---

AURA: 15 foe; Spirit Guardians; IF: FACTION(foe); SAVEO: wisdom DC 17 (M)(H); SAVEDMG: 3d8 necrotic; (C)

---

The IF: FACTION(foe) insures that the SAVEO and SAVEDMG do not affect the cleric who has cast the spell, while still allowing it to fire on the creatures that gain the effect as "FROMAURA:Spirit Guardians; IF: FACTION(foe); SAVEO: wisdom DC 17 (M)(H); SAVEDMG: 3d8 necrotic; (C);" For this to work you'd also have to be using my ongoing saves extension.

The following aura types are allowed:

• friend
• foe
• all

The following faction types are allowed:

• friend
• foe
• neutral
• faction

One thing to note regarding faction types is you can also use the "!" operator before any of them to include all except for that type. "!friend" would be anything that's not in the same faction as yourself. The foe faction would also do the same thing, as it assumes neutral/faction type enemies are not your friends as well. I can be convinced to adjust this to only include the foe/enemy faction type (the red underlay on map) if that is preferred.

This extension is still not fully tested, so do let me know if there are issues that anyone comes across.

I've also added an option menu to silence the notifications about the effects which can be filtered based on aura type (we found that the paladin's aura was very spammy during play).


NOTE: Presently if you're using token locking you must be on the 'test' build of FGC in order for this to work properly. If you're not using token locking then the current 'live' build is also fine. As of May 5, 2020 - FG v3.3.10 - Should be able to be back on 'live' for FG v3.3.11 Again this is only if you're using token locking.
Version 0.4:
- Base implementation of AURA effect type along with FACTION() conditional type.

So you use "Ongoing Saves EXT" correct?

Paladin... AURA: 10 friend; Aura of Protection; Save: [CHA]
Cleric... AURA:15 foe; Spirit Guardians; IF: FACTION (foe); SAVEO: wisdom DC 19 (M)(H); SAVEDMG: 3d8 radiant; (C)

Don't have that one loaded, NO.

It's required to use that coding.

If you don't like that ext, you can check out Better Combat Effect and use a slightly different coding also. Both do the job.


https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/76/view
Better Combat Effects

https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/155/view
Better Combat Effects Gold

https://www.dmsguild.com/product/312...g-Save-Effects
Ongoing Save Effects

If you using Ongoing Save Effects use this coding

Quote:

---

AURA: 15 foe; Spirit Guardians; IF: FACTION(foe); SAVEO: wisdom DC 17 (M)(H); SAVEDMG: 3d8 necrotic; (C)

---

If you using BCE or BCEG use this coding

Quote:

---

Spirit Guardians; AURA: 15 foe; Spirit Guardians; IF: FACTION(foe); SAVES: WIS [SDC] (M)(H); SAVEDMG: 3d8 radiant; (C)

---

Also you can check out more AURA coding here.
https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...Effects-Coding

I copied the damage types diff, but you get the point.

I've asked Kent to edit the first post so this confusion will be less likely to occur.
This extension only does two things:
a) adds / removes effects on other characters based on proximity
b) adds a FACTION conditional

Is anyone else getting a "UtilityManager.isClientFGU - Deprecated - 2022-07-12 - Contact forge/extension author" error when they use these? I have updated all of my extensions and it seems like this error only pops up when I have an Aura on a character and that character moves on the grid.

Edit: I should specify that it happens when the character with the aura moves or a target that's affected by the aura moves. So it seems to have something to do with the application of the effect. But I didn't see anyone else mention the error in this thread and I have already tried disabling other extensions that may be causing it.

Edit 2: I Just confirmed that it's Aura effects by creating a new campaign. I only enabled Aura Effects and Better Combat Effects. Then tested again by only enabling Aura Effects and Ongoing Save Effects. In both instances, I get spammed nonstop with the above error when moving any of the tokens in the radius. I tested this with Spirit Guardians and Pass Without Trace.

It seems like something needs to be updated in this extension, but I don't see anyone else mentioning it. Technically it still works, it just spams that error enough times to fill up the chat log in a very short period.

Working just fine for me.

I'm not really sure how that can be. I literally created a new campaign to test this and ONLY enabled those two extensions and I was still getting spammed with the error. I'm not a dev build of FGU or anything and everything has been updated.

BCE/G and Aura do not call UtilityManager.isClientFGU so you must have something else loaded that is causing that deprecated message.

So it isn't updating from Forge? I tried deleting my Vault folder and now I can't even update FGU. It just crashes when I click the update button.

I would post in house of healing, or try FGU discord.

I have been helping a number of people with this issue lately. I think there might be an issue with Forge updates.
Sometimes it's because you have an old copy in your extensions folder, but for some people it has required deleting the vault folder and then running an update.

sounds like a permissions issue maybe?

Thanks. I had to completely reinstall Fantasy grounds after deleting the vault, but it's updating now. I'm on an M1 Mac, for what it's worth. I'll test to see if the error has gone away. I wish there had just been a way to force the update to Aura Effects from the Forge, but if this works, I'll be in business. Appreciate the help. I guess now I know why no one else was reporting the issue.

Okay, after deleting my Vault folder, reinstalling FGU, then updating and getting the error again, I found an FG-AuraEffects EXT in my extensions folder and deleted and then updated. I didn't realize the newer version from the Forge was stored in the Vault.

Thanks for all of the help, guys. Sorry for being a nuisance.

you need to update your aura extension. the version in your screenshot is 1.7, but the current version on the forge is 1.11

so glad it's fixed! all of my extensions are in the vault so that the extensions folder can be use for more 'manually installed' extensions that you have to update yourself.

Is there any obvious mechanism to handle when there are multiple paladin's with similar auras to prevent them from stacking with each other?
