:) Glad you got it sorted.

At least, that is how it is supposed to work. I contributed back that integration some time ago when I added it to my PFRPG port of Advanced Effects and it may have stopped working here at some point.
So if it doesn't work, let me know!

Hi bmos. I tried this and it doesn't seem to work. Could be me though.

Hello All,
Could I bother someone with a bit more on the ball for a syntax check for a weapon effect?:
[IFT: TYPE(Dragon);SIZE(L);DMG:1d8][ActionOnly]
[IFT:TYPE(Dragon);ADVATK][ActionOnly]

My hope is that this will cause 1d8 extra damage if attacking a YOUNG Dragon (medium size). Additionally, Role with advantage against all dragons. If there is a way to define "red/black/green/etc." dragons that would be great but I couldn't find anything that gave that granularity for the parameter.

Thanks in advance

Unless I'm also missing something, you could add a hidden effect on the intended dragon NPC [XYZ] and then add [IFT:CUSTOM(XYZ); DMG: 1d8][action only] to the weapon.

That custom string could be anything that helps you differentiate. YgRdDgn for example.

Thanks for the quick reply, So, I would probably be looking at a string more like this?:

[IFT: TYPE(Dragon);IFT: CUSTOM(Red);SIZE(L);DMG:1d8][ActionOnly]
[IFT:TYPE(Dragon);ADVATK][ActionOnly]

or I guess simplified:
[IFT: CUSTOM(Young Red Dragon);DMG:1d8][ActionOnly]
[IFT:TYPE(Dragon);ADVATK][ActionOnly]

Thanks again

My GUT says B. You can test both and see though. :}

You could use IFT: TYPE(dragon);IFT: SIZE(large);DMG:1d8
Since only young dragons are large. If you need to make it only hit a particular colour of dragon then you'll need some kind of custom effect as noted above; since there's no direct test for colour.

@celestian, I have a new update for AmmunitionManager releasing soon which will change the code needed here for compatibility. I have a deprecation function in place so the timing is not critical. The draft pull request on your GitHub will update the code in your extension to use the new approach.

I have tested it with the upcoming v4 and it's working. Do you see the attached effect on the combat tracker? Maybe you haven't equipped the arrow after editing its effects?

I was going to ask about that (timing) if there is no requirement I'll drop it shortly this week.

Probably best to wait a week or two since there is a deprecation function in place. I can't release my update until the new Starfinder alternative is available.
It would have been more accurate to say the requirement is just that your compatibility update comes after mine! I'll finalize the PR when I drop my update and then you can release whenever it's convenient.
