Polymorphism Extension (.ext file) [Fantasy Grounds Unity 5E ruleset]

[Leprekorn]

Hi I have a bug where despite transforming back into my main form my main character sheet still says "Do not use sheet...". The polymorphed form is no longer on the combat tracker I just have no way to remove the message and enable me to turn into another creature, the Dm has removed me form the combat tracker and added me back in but still no luck. Any idea what I need to do to correct?

I have no idea what your image here is showing.

When you get data "out of synch" due to corruption usually through some network issue or bad data I usually do one of three things to reset it.

1) Switch tabs back and forth.
2) Hit Active button a few times providing you still see it. (host should do it unless you have the active turn).
3) clear all your lists of NPCs you can turn into on assumption that data is bad in this campaign (like pointed to something that no longer exists in terms of DB indexes due to module change or local DB recreation of record or something).
4) Insure you delete any left over effects related to the poly process.

Or have host do all of the above if your client.

I see no issues with poly in testing I did for both NPC -> NPC ->NPC or PC -> NPC -> PC from client. As far as you image - I don't even know what your trying to tell me there as its not the poly area of the action tab sheet for PC - or NPC main page poly area. Its just a list of CT entries.

On the left it shows my character is the active character in the CT and on the right it shows my character sheet with the warning do not use this character sheet.

I have no idea how you got in that state. Typically switching tabs lets you see the data again in most situations. The only way that message will be displayed is if

polymorphism_originator

in your DB for that CT entry or PC is not "". And that is when its in a particular state of transition. How you managed to get it in that state - or how it is not self correcting when you toggle the tabs in a PC or NPC to get it to refresh I have no idea. Short of going into the DB.xml and blanking that value for the sheet in question I have no other ideas. And if that is whacked data what else is?

[Leprekorn]

No idea looks like it's a character rebuild and take note if it happens again.

Just have DM blank that data record in db.xml if he has the knowledge on how to do that. Otherwise, not really sure how to recover it. I'd just set "polymorphism_originator" data to empty myself or even deleting it as it would recreate it, out of db.xml - making a backup copy first of course. But yeah - never seen this where you could not simply have the host fiddle with the ACTIVE button or tabs and have it recover.

You can also remove the feature that uses Polymorph, change tabs to trigger the update, then add it back in. That's a way to clear the Polymorph data in my experience.

[Leprekorn]

I will try this.

With only Polymorphism loaded, I appear to be encountering an error when attempting to add a new option for Shapechange to the list of polymorphs, to whit;

The way you're wording this and the error your getting makes no sense to me. But I did test having the spell "ShapeChange" in my actions tab and then pulled down the "ShapeChange" selection and it worked fine. Obviously its not a number as your error claims, its a string, so really have no idea what your trying to tell me here.
