[extension] Spell Tokens Extension

I feel like probably I'm just doing something wrong or I've misunderstood what this extension is designed to do. I apologize as I'm sure this question has already been addressed but after several searches I couldn't find the answer.

I was expecting that I (or one of my players) can drag the graphic from their character sheet onto the map and it would make a graphic there, denoting to everyone their intended placement of their spell. This functionality is working perfect for us.

I was also expecting that there would be a way to target all the NPCs & PCs that fall underneath the designated area of the spell denoted by the graphic applied to the map. This functionality, I have been unable to get to to work.

Again I suspect it's something I'm doing wrong. Can I get some direction here? Thank you for your time.

Right click the spell token after its in the spot you want it, and you will see 2 options. One is for allies in the token area, one is for foes in the target area.
Holding Shift while clicking either will target all creatures in the target area.


So say if you casting fireball, drag it out into the map, place it where you want it, and right click spell token on the map, hold shift and click foes or allies and it should select all the creatures in the area of the FB and nothing outside it. Make sure to clear targets before doing it or it might have some old targets already selected.

Works perfectly, thank you!

I don't understand what the triangle, cone, circle and square settings do. When I drag the effect it always seems to be a circle. Can someone explain please?

The system knows nothing about the actual texture for the spell token graphic. So has to be told something about it to process it.

So if you have a spell token square graphic file, and the draw a circle on it so for a fireball spell effect. When you drag this onto the map the square token with the circle on it will be shown. If you tell the configuration system that its a triangle shape, then the circle will only select as if a triangle was in that square graphic.

You should be able to tell this by how the 'hand/pointer' selection happens which it is over the graphic spell token.

Its also possible that you have a bug/extension conflict and the selection shape is not been respected. In this case some further information and screen shots to double check your configuration and what you are seeing would help work out if this is an issue at your side or a bug/conflict that needs to be looked into.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, Pete

Thanks! Now I understand. It works as it should. The tip with the hand/pointer helped.

Hello, all,

I am not being able to configure a spell in the 'spell token configuration' system. I have restarted both the character sheet and the program twice or more times. The spell is Aggressive Thundercloud and in the PF1e ruleset.

Please help me out and thanks in advance,

Hi,

not at the computer right now, but I think you're trying to configure the spell in the wrong window. I think you need to right click in the Spell Tokens Configuration window (not the Map Suffix Configuration window) window to create a new spell line.

Sorry if I'm wrong, as I said I'm not on the computer at the moment, so I'm trying to remember the last time I set it up.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Simon

Thank, you, Simon, that was it :)
