How do I apply cover modifiers?

I'm new to Fantasy Grounds and I can't find out how to add cover modifiers to characters.

(half, three quarters, and full cover)

Use the -2 and -5 modifier buttons to reduce the to hit roll or add AC effects to increase AC by 2 and 5.

5E only has 2 types of cover

Also, their might be effects for them, but the modifiers MP mentions is, imo, the best wayt o do it, since a character or NPC may only have cover against some opponents and not all of them, depending upon position.

Thanks. I figured it had something to do with the modifier buttons, but I wasn't sure.

Also I forgot that "Full Cover" just means you can't get hit.

Also if you click on the +/- button top right there's a cover and superior cover button.

You can also use the COVER or SCOVER effect. Info here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/...ects#Modifiers

I find the modifier buttons the most useful as my most used cover situation (firing into melee which the cover rule states is 1/2 cover) is very situational. The person attacking applies the modifier to the attack roll and it is done.

Do the modifier buttons work with the Combat Tracker?
