5E - Aura Effects

Hello. I am having a deprecated error coming from the aura effects extension. I loaded a test campaign with it as the only extension.
I set the aura of protection aura on the paladin and it immediately gave the following information in the chat window.
Utilitymanager.isClientFGU - Deprecated - 2022-07-12.

As far as I can tell this may only be a chat spam and I am trying to determine if the aura is functioning properly. I just wanted to get the notice out here in case it is just me or others are seeing similar issues.

It is using v1.7 according to the chat. The forge says it was last updated 8 days ago but with the vault the way it is I cannot see the right extension to remove and see if a new update repairs/corrects it.
I have a game tonight so I will see if the spam is only me or everyone as well as determine if the aura is providing the save bonus.

Thank you for all your "gifts".
I have too many technically non-savvy players and I use a plethora of extensions that make my efforts as a DM far simpler. A thank you to all the various providers out here free and paid alike.

Are you 100% sure there isn't a copy of the extension in your /extensions folder?
If there is, delete it.
If there isn't, delete the file 5a772a86-d54c-11eb-8c52-0050562be458 in the vault.

I checked again and had my kids check it. Not sure how i missed it twice. Found it. Dated July. Running update. thanks. Sorry for the distraction.

Glad you found it :)

Hello, since the last update, put out this week, I now get an error when I remove tokens from the map. I have traced it down to the effects_aura.lua. I remove the extension and I no longer get the error.

What version number is shown in chat when you load the campaign? The latest code released 10 days ago doesn't match your error, so you must be on an old version.
It should be v1.15

My version is Aura Effects v1.9-rc.1 (Not sure why it isn't updated I use Forge for updates.)

However in testing some more I find that it is a compatibility issue with Token Height Indicator. When I enable Auras and disable Token Height Indicator I do not get the error.


EDIT: I just deleted the FG-Auras.ext and redownloaded from Forge and now it is Aura Effects 1.15

I tested with Token Height Indicator enabled and I do not get an error.

Hooray!
v1.9-rc.1 was released back on Feb 12, so it makes sense it would have issues.

Is there any way for an aura to work on all allies except the caster? Or on all friends except the caster? This would help the aura for AURA: 30 friend; Emboldening Bond; ATK: 1d4; SAVE: 1d4; CHECK: 1d4; ONTURN

This aura would simulate the cleric's effect of only working on allies within 30 feet of each other

This really does not play well with One Click Druid and going into wildshape. It got to the point my players couldn't end their own turns. Any of them.

Yes. It is covered in the README posted on the forge.
It is also covered in examples in the 5E effects thread linked from the README.

thanks, but can you explain to me what the "notself" classification would look like in the command line?

AURA: 30 friends; Encouraging Bond; ATK: 1d4; SAVE: 1d4; CHECK: 1d4; TURN ON

because here it is not working
even using the command (notself) he is activating the aura for the caster

I would talk to Diablobob, or maybe try another ext option like Polymorphism or DWSI

Can you msg me on discord so I can help faster and maybe even in real time?

EDIT: So I decided to not be quite so lazy and went back and read some recent posts, and saw where someone was having this same issue. Seems I somehow had old versions of both Token Height and Aura Effects. I have no idea why Forge wasn't updating? I check for updates every single time before I launch FG, and with 6 running campaigns I launch FG a *LOT*. This might be an entirely separate issue with the Forge? Anyway, I deleted Aura Effects and updated again, and this time it seems to have updated both, and it's working fine now.
***

So I've been getting a weird error, which I'm pretty sure is coming from Aura Effects, any time I add or remove any tokens from the CT to a map. It doesn't seem to have any real impact overall, it's just super annoying if I am adding multiple tokens.

I tracked it down to an interaction between Aura Effects and GKEnialb's Token Height Indicator, i.e. it only happens if both extensions are loaded. Due to the error being thrown I still think it is coming from Aura Effects though. Anyway, if and when someone can take a look I'd appreciate it. Please let me know if you need any additional info.

According to your picture both those exts are 1 version outdated. I would delete them from your ext folder and update FGU.

I'm currently not having these errors and I use both of these exts and tested with only them 2 running with the updated version.

I've had lots of users reporting that issue across a number of extensions, so my assumption is that there is some issue with the FG updater or that a lot of users have manually installed ext files they downloaded (which override the version Forge downloads).

I think a lot of people had the downloaded version (where you put into the ext folder yourself), then later AURA effects ext went into the vault on the FORGE and so people don't see the file in the ext folder, and would download it or put it there, or already had it there. This is what a few of my DM's had issues with.

I was able to avoid the caster by using FACTION(notself).

AURA: 30 friend; Emboldening Bond; IF: FACTION(notself); ATK: 1d4; SAVE: 1d4; CHECK: 1d4; ONTURN;

but it doesn't prevent multiple uses in the same turn.

not sure if i'll have the time, but i'll look into adding that
https://github.com/FG-Unofficial-Dev...fect/issues/21

for now, ajust the FROMAURA effects manually

Try the ONTURN outside of the conditional

Code:

---

AURA: 30 friend; Emboldening Bond; ONTURN; IF: FACTION(notself); ATK: 1d4; SAVE: 1d4; CHECK: 1d4

---

83 pages, not sure if this particular issue has been addressed. Odds are maybe, but I could not find it in a search.

I am running with 3.5e and want to have this:

Code:

---

AURA: 100 foe; Aura of Pain1; DMGO: 1d6+6

---

I have also tried

Code:

---

AURA: 100 foe; Aura of Pain1; IF(!friend) DMGO: 1d6+6

---

In both cases, the Damage over time ends up effecting everyone. Players and NPCs alike. To be clear, I am adding this to hostile NPCs. What I am clearly wanting to have happen here is it should effect players, not the NPCs.

What have I done wrong?

WELP! That works. Thank ye.

I am having trouble getting a Twilight Sanctuary aura to function properly, any help would be appreciated.

Code:
Twilight Sanctuary; AURA: 30 friend; IF: FACTION(friend); TREGENE: 1d6+10

Current Extensions:
COP Auras v1.2
BCEG v3.28
TEMPO and ROLLON
Advanced effects

Remove TEMPO, no longer needed.
not sure about COP, I don't use that.

Code:

---

Twilight Sanctuary; AURA: 30 friend; Twilight Sanctuary; IF: FACTION(friend); TREGENE: 1d6 [CLERIC]

---

Thank you MrDDT. Update, removing TEMPO got it to work, but now multiple instances of the condition are appearing on my PCs. I experimented with removing COD Auras v1.2, but that didn't change anything. Also thanks for the addition of [CLERIC] instead of the +10 in my code.

---

Working for me, can you msg me on discord? or maybe post examples of what is going on?

MrDDT helped me find a weird syntax that the extension freaks out over:
if you have this or something very similar:

Code:

---

Spirit Guardians; AURA: 15 foe; IF: FACTION(foe); SAVES: 17 WIS (H)(M); SAVEDMG: 3d8 radiant; (C)Half Speed

---

the aura effect will be added over and over.

so to avoid that, just don't put anything after the (C). (C) should be the past part of the effect, if used.

I noticed an announcement pop up box on load. I believe it is from this ext since it references voting for auras? I have 1 question and 1 report.

Is there a way to disable the pop up? It is popping every time I load.

The client side is getting an error, I assume from this new pop up?

10/26/2022 11:59:14 AM] [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "FG-Aura-Effect:..date_notifier_launcher.lua"]:3: attempt to index a nil value

Voting fixed the pop up. Sorry I was not clear this was a client side error but you got it fixed now (thanks Mattekure).

Thanks for the fast turn around!
