"Database node not owned" error

[Moon Wizard]

OOB = out of band. It's a networking terminology used to denote a channel containing control information rather than data. In the case of FG, it's for messages between client and server not destined for the chat window.

Basically, the OOB mechanism is used to pass a LUA table from client to host on an init roll. When the host delivers message to self, it's just like it received one from client.

You don't need the whole "action" framework, just the OOB manager and making the right calls to the OOB Manager to generate and handle the OOB messages.

Looking at the current 3.5E ruleset:
C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\Fantasy Grounds II\rulesets\3.5E\base.xml

	Line 138: 	<script name="OOBManager" file="scripts/manager_oob.lua" />

C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\Fantasy Grounds II\rulesets\3.5E\scripts\manager_action_init.lua

function onInit()
	OOBManager.registerOOBMsgHandler(OOB_MSGTYPE_APPLYINIT, handleApplyInit);

	ActionsManager.registerActionIcon("init", "action_roll");
	ActionsManager.registerModHandler("init", modRoll);
	ActionsManager.registerResultHandler("init", onResolve);
end

function handleApplyInit(msgOOB)
	local nTotal = tonumber(msgOOB.nTotal) or 0;

	DB.setValue(msgOOB.sSourceCTNode .. ".initresult", "number", nTotal);
end

function notifyApplyInit(rSource, nTotal)
	if not rSource then
		return;
	end
	
	local msgOOB = {};
	msgOOB.type = OOB_MSGTYPE_APPLYINIT;
	
	msgOOB.nTotal = nTotal;
	msgOOB.sSourceCTNode = rSource.sCTNode;

	Comm.deliverOOBMessage(msgOOB, "");
end

C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\Fantasy Grounds II\rulesets\3.5E\scripts\manager_action_init.lua

function onResolve(rSource, rTarget, rRoll)
	local rMessage = ActionsManager.createActionMessage(rSource, rRoll);
	Comm.deliverChatMessage(rMessage);
	
	local nTotal = ActionsManager.total(rRoll);
	notifyApplyInit(rSource, nTotal);
end
