Hello,
Extension in question:
https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/122/view
I think this extension will solve a problem for me, but I don't see any instructions on how to use it/apply it properly. I did search in the forums here, but I didn't find anything on it helpful.
I'm not a coder and effects coding is not intuitive for me. Has anyone used this and do you have any examples?
thank you.
Looks like you just click the button on the top of the Combat Tracker and you can then add in or edit damage types. You'll then need to edit any NPCs who use that damage type as well as add the damage type to any weapons that the PCs are using. So if you wanted to have a damage type of 'plasma' you would add it into the CT list, then edit any NPCs that use that type so that whatever attacks they had changed from say slashing to plasma; and add in some new weapons for the PCs to use that did plasma damage.
Thanks - I got the first bit, the add it to the drop down.
so sounds like - Add DMGTYPE: plasma to any weapons to be used
and if I want someone specifically weak to that type of damage, add VULN: plasma
does that sound right?
To be honest I don't know since I don't use the extension. I was thinking more of creating new weapons with the damage types you wanted for PCs and NPCs. I don't know if the extension covers the DMGTYPE effect or whether it also correctly deals with the vulnerabilities and resistances.
I believe Rob has a Discord somewhere and it's probably better to join that and ask questions since he and the authors of these extensions don't seem to inhabit the forums much.
