5E xml mod effects question?

[rob2e]

Looked and looked, couldn't find out this...

What are the parameters and possibilities for the zeroes here:

<id-1>
<public />
<adjustment type="number">0</adjustment>
<duration type="number">0</duration>
<isgmonly type="number">0</isgmonly>
<label type="string">AC: 1</label>
</id-1>


I know the "isgmonly" is for visible (0) or not visible (1)

I assume the "adjustment" and "duration", have to do with the # of MIN, HR, DAY, RND, etc.

Just couldn't figure out what means what or how to code those.

I hope I explained that well enough.

Help?

<id-00001>
<public />
<duration type="number">5</duration>
<isgmonly type="number">0</isgmonly>
<label type="string">Mage Armor; AC:3</label>
<unit type="string">minute</unit>
</id-00001>

This one is from Mage armor which I set to last for 5 minutes. So I think your answer is that the duration is whatever number is in the duration box. My one has a unit type which yours doesn't have and that sort of fills in the blanks a bit.
Where are you getting your xml from? Mine was just taken from the db.xml from within the campaign.

Yes, And thanks for your ultimate sets. They are a wealth of information. Code and otherwise.

I'm getting my xml from my original creation. But I copied it from a forum posting. Mine only had duration (set at nothing "><") and imgonly. It works, but everything is 0 RND. I want to be able to set the number of rounds or minutes or hours.

When I open a db.xml from a campaign the effects looks like this:

<effects>
<public />
</effects>

So I'm kind of at a loss.

[rob2e]

<unit type="string">minute</unit>

Aha! I think this is my answer...

string, which I'll assume are the full words. minute day hour round... Testing continues.

ThanX Zacchaeus.

I don't know .xml. The only computer stuff I know is BASIC (what's up 1984?), and a rudimentary understanding of HTML. I'm self-taught on .xml, HTML, .php, Office applications (Excel - I'm crazy with spreadsheets), and everything else. I eventually figure stuff out, it just takes me 10 times longer than anyone with proper training.

Boo me, yet YAY me! Ha!

Like anything with FG XML your best bet is to enter a bunch of examples through the FG GUI, save the campaign, and then have a look at the resulting FG XML in the campaign db.xml file.

For example:



Gives:

<effects>
	<public />
	<id-00001>
		<public />
		<duration type="number">1</duration>
		<isgmonly type="number">0</isgmonly>
		<label type="string">1 Round</label>
	</id-00001>
	<id-00002>
		<public />
		<duration type="number">2</duration>
		<isgmonly type="number">0</isgmonly>
		<label type="string">2 Mins</label>
		<unit type="string">minute</unit>
	</id-00002>
	<id-00003>
		<public />
		<duration type="number">3</duration>
		<isgmonly type="number">0</isgmonly>
		<label type="string">3 Hours</label>
		<unit type="string">hour</unit>
	</id-00003>
	<id-00004>
		<public />
		<duration type="number">4</duration>
		<isgmonly type="number">0</isgmonly>
		<label type="string">4 Days</label>
		<unit type="string">day</unit>
	</id-00004>
</effects>

Ah, thanX much Trenloe! My brain doesn't think to CREATE the problem, then solve it. Cheers!

[rob2e]

Trenloe.

I have the effects exactly as shown, but when I try to create a NEW .mod with those, the minute, hour, day still show as rounds. I tried MIN, HR, DAY, that didn't work either.

Ideas?

Apparently, FG works with data from a campaign db.xml differently than a module db.xml?
