So this worked but there still is 2 additional outputs to chat: Effect ['Slowed; AC: -2; DISSAV: dexterity; SAVEE: WIS 15 (M)(R); (C)'] -> [SINGLE MOD USED] [on Adult Blue Dragon]
I assume 1 for SAVEA and 1 for SAVEE?
This at least only rolls once.
Side note that equipment effects and this ext look like they are adding "Frightful Presence; Frightened; SAVEE: WIS 16 (R)" to the Dragon...which is strange. May not have much to do with this ext. but the SAVEE has me thinking.
Add DMGRT looks like it is not working either?
Can you give me the effect coding you using to cause this? As the above slowed effect is only outputting 1 time and not saying single mod used.Quote:

Is working fine.
I have both Equipped Effects, Automatic Effects MM mod, Better Combat Effects Gold, all loaded and it's not doing what you saying it is for the dragon.
Its applying coding for the Frightful Presence effect, but it's not applying the effect to the creature when you load it into the CT, which I think is what you saying.
There is currently an issue where EXPIREADD is not working. So be wary of that.
I think currently there is an issue with DMGRT, and DMGDT.Quote:

Thanks for the EXPIREADD tip. I did confuse the effect and the code for the effect. False alarm there.
Strange indeed and not useful for hypnotic pattern.Quote:

I don't think that works well with ongoing saves at all. If you need something like that, I suggest breaking up the effects into many effects.
For this one looks like a 5E effect, I would say that you don't need it to expend once per modifier. Just change that to never, it will work correctly.
You can still set the duration of course.
Hope that helps.
Also I suggest if you can get on discord where I can send pictures and stuff a lot easier.
Thanks for the suggestions. I will play with it some more and reach out on discord.Quote:

It seems not to be working for me, unless i'm using it wrong, I tried:
REGEN: 2d4+2; EXPIREADD: DISATK
With a 1 round duration, it applies the regen, but it leaves no aftereffect as it's supposed to do.
I tried with a new campaign no other extensions save the fonts and D&D original theme.
Yes. MrDDT indicated as much but I have not used it so I don't have direct evidence. By the looks of it you have confirmed it.
While trying to see if I can fix TDMGADDS for my game, I've noticed a typo on line 334 in manager_effect_bceDnD.lua. Removing the extra "e" appears to fix the issue for TDMGADDS. It may be worth scanning over the rest of the script(s) to look for any other typos if anyone noted any other issues.

Wow thanks.
This looks like it's working again, can you confirm? I was running some testing and this was on my list and now it seems to be working fine after the last 2 FGU updates.Quote:

So using DMGT: all was what I was doing wrong. It is working now for me.
Need to update the example because it doesn't have the : all after it.
It got me!Quote:

Bugfixes
EXPIREADD - FIXED: Add effect or condition when this effect expires
TDMGADDS - FIXED: TARGET of the attack will add an effect to the SOURCE of the attack when damage is done
Thanks for this! So, if I remember correctly we still have the STR: 19-x bug still?Quote:

I'll add this to the list of bugs thanks.Quote:

Just noted a weird interaction between REGENA and EPIREADD when using effects, it will loop and virtually halt the game for a while, attaching the chat in a file, in case something can be done there.
I only had loaded the BCEG, fonts and D&D theme extensions.
I'm not seeing this can you give me an example of the effect coding you doing?Quote:

I would apply the HEALBOT effect and it would give me 1d4 HP, removing the HEALBOT effect and then apply the POH. No looping of anything.
Ok using your coding (I found in the text file)
EXPIREADD: PoH; REGENA: 2d4
This causes it to loop.
Confirming that it seems like it's the order of the effect keywords.. if EXPIREADD is the last thing (like your initial test), no loop occurs. But if it's an early keyword, then it causes the loop (the way MasterZamna coded it originally). Am I understanding that correctly?Quote:

At first I tought it was the interaction with the Consume Items extension, that's why I tried in a new campaign with only the basic extension, but it also looped.
BCE Community:
As you may know, Grim Press has partnered with Ryan Hagelstrom, the author of Better Combat Effects, to publish Better Combat Effects Gold.
Unfortunately, something has interrupted our previously excellent communication with Ryan, and we've not heard from him for some time. We hope that he is physically ok and that it is something in real life which is keeping him from his hobby. His presence is missed.
Thanks for your understanding and patience as we work through this unexpected event.
For additional support, please join our Discord server @ https://discord.gg/grimpress
Q: What does this mean for BCEG?
A: WeezelD and deltadave, both members of the Grim Press admin team have taken up the burden of learning LUA, understanding Ryan's code, and providing bugfix releases for the existing codebase. Several bugs have already been fixed (some with the assistance of the community).
Q: What does this mean for BCE?
A: Active development on BCE was halted with the release of BCEG. Some of the bugs exist in both BCEG and BCE, but since BCE isn't published on the Forge under our publishing account, we do not have the ability to release any updates. At this time, the fixes are being added to BCEG only. We will be discussing options such as forum release (pre-forge), but no decisions have been made at this time.
Thanks for the update, hope all is well and he is just busy IRL like we all do sometimes.
Better Combat Effects Gold - v3.6.0.2 - Bugfix - Was not properly handling the Ability-X functionality such as for Headband of Intellect. INT: 19-X. Fixed. -- Thanks to @Arnagus on the forum who previously developed the workaround ( https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...789#post643789)
Very nice. Thanks for this!Quote:

Since BCE has always been a kind of orphan after all efforts go into BCEG - is there any way to make BCEG also available for 3.5e?
It is currently flagged as 5e only, thus not loading.
I am aware that BCEG has the BCE code inside which works perfectly with 3.5e.
I understand that 3.5e functionality will not receive any updates in BCEG (as it is also only sustained in BCE), but core rule updates might break 3.5e functionality in BCE and will likely be fixed in BCEG (only/first) when the rest of the code is adapted to the new code. E.g. EXPIREADD failure and the SAVEA/SAVEONDMG/SDMGOS missed rolls are still open, but are fixed in BCEG (see BCE Post #419 for PFRPG which uses the same code in BCE)
BCE Community: Following up on my post from last week, I'm happy to say that Ryan H. has escaped the Tarrasque of life and is back with us, so things should be returning to normal.
Sorry all about the absence, work has been crazy. I have an update that should fix the known issues.
Version update: 3.7
Fixed - Typeo nodeeSource
Fixed - Following Tags of a matched tag were also matching in an effect
Fixed - Documentation error for DMGAT,DMGDT,DMGRT suggesting they accepted a dice string
Fixed - Actor manager not initialized
Fixed - issue where aura effects with , in them where adding over and over
Fixed - CoreRPG updated broke -X from working properly
Fixed - Feedback loop when using EXPIREADD and things that fire on add like REGENA
Fixed - Code cleanup with luacheck. Removed a bunch of warnings and all extra whitespace
Added namespace to OOB_MSGTYPE APPLYDMG OOB_MSGTYPE_APPLYSAVEVS
I was trying to use the following but it looks like EXPIREADD is not working?
Effect on character for 1 rd duration:
Absorb Fire; RESIST: fire; EXPIREADD: ABSORBELEMENTSFIRE; STACK
Effects list:
ABSORBELEMENTSFIRE; DMG: 1d6, melee, fire; TURNRE; STACK; [ROLL]
When the effect drops the ABSORBELEMENTSFIRE effect is not applied.
Maybe I am doing something wrong? Also, I see some posts about EXPIREADD being both broke and fixed....not sure if this is not broke or not fixed. Thanks!
I can't get expireadd to work anymore either.
Version update: 3.8
Fixed - EXPIREADD not working as intended
Fixed - Ongoing save effects with (R) and (D) where being removed/disabled before the following tags were evaluated
Thank you. Looks to be working.Quote:

I guess I don't understand the question? what is [ROLL] and #116?Quote:
