Pathfinder 2 - Release 18 information thread.

I'm having an issue with ApplyAllEffects.

The creatures ability reads:

The save rolls fine and each individual effect applies when used individually, but when I double click [Laugh] to activate ApplyAllEffects, I get this error.

[ERROR] Script execution error: [string "scripts/manager_effect_pfrpg2.lua"|:1991: table index is nil

Any help here?

You need to have rolled a save before using ApplyAllEffects, as this uses the results of a previous save to determine which effects to apply. Using ApplyAllEffects removes previous results, so only double-click it once after triggering a save.

I'll modify the code to prevent the error in a future release.

It was happening after save was rolled, but I resolved the error. Better Save Descriptions Extension was breaking it. Extension is off and all working as intended.

Great changes and fixes.

Is there a way to tell which spells come with finished ApplyAllEffects and which don't? "Color Spray" works, but "Ray of Enfeeblement" does not, yet I see no way to easily distinguish this except for checking each spell's description separately.

Wouldn't it make sense to only display the ApplyAllEffects Icon for those spells that come with the corresponding automation?

I have an effect that is applied to "self" after casting. When using Apply All Effects it applies the effect to the target instead. For example I created an effect that simply states "no breath weapon" with a duration of 1d4 rounds, target self. then selected apply to ALL saves. I was hoping that it would apply to the caster instead of the target.

edit: I just realized that if I had multiple targets how this would be a problem, nm, manually apply lol.

If you have the same effect that gets applied to multiple save states (ie. success, failure, critical failure) do you have to create an effect for each save state? any way to apply a single effect to multiple save states?

[Milke]

I don't know about that. But what I had to do with color spray was make an effect for Dazzled that lasted 1 round on success, then another that last one minute on failure, and so forth.

An effect can only have one "state" applies to it - none, all (applies to all result states) or the four success levels. You need multiple effect entries if they apply to to more than one success level.

It would be great if we could get skill roll based actions now to combine them with save results (for things like Lingering Composition). The "Party Sheet" already offers something like this, but it does not seem to feed into ApplyAllEffects (and if only GM controlled).

Hi!
I have Fantasy Grounds 2 classic and I like creating my own modules. I'm currently updating all my PF2 modules with the new automation system and I find the documentation you provided lacking in some commands.
For example I don't understand what's the purpose of [OPTIONS] I tried both examples given and they do nothing. In the video explaining some automations I saw FILTER: Class=Druid and this is not explained anywhere.
I don't own any official module for the core rulebook and I would like to know if there is some way to check if the character has a class lookup data to give it another one for example and also if someone could explain how [OPTIONS] work.
Thanks
