5E Concentration Extension

[edem]

Hi Edem

There is no setup, if its clicked on in extension options at the start , it auto rolls when even you take damage, or notifies you if you have 'notify' on - it seems to auto notify or roll , even if they have no effects on

with regard to concentration .. do you have a ; after the effect ... ie ADVCHK: constitution; (C)

In you screenshot there are two effects, the first being Longstrider. Speed is not a condition or an effect that FG recognises so it will just ignore it. The other two should be IFT: TYPE(undead) etc.

To be honest, the extension is more or less useless if it only works on effects that are recognised by FantasyGrounds, since what it should do is to roll a concentration check on effects that are marked with (c), and remove them on a failure.

This was just a guess. I can't get the extension to work either. I can get the pop up box if I have the notify option turned on but I have been unable to get the concentration check to roll. Lokiare1 is still working on it, so all is not yet lost.

(And note that I do get the pop up if I enter an effect like the longstrider one in your graphic but again the check doesn't roll)

Hi,

I tried to use the extension, but it does not seem to work. I turned off all my other extensions, I tried both (c) and (C), with or without a space before the (, double clicking on the damage, or dragging it from the npc power or the chat window, and it did not roll for concentration. I tested it with an effect added manually and another added via a character's abilitiy. I had it set to auto-roll (note, to conform with the other settings, you might want to capitalise the options, to 'Auto' and 'Notify' - also may I suggest an 'Off' setting, in case someone wants to temporarily disable it without restarting the host?)
Please advise me about all the required steps for setting it up.

If you can open the console by typing /console and then try to apply and remove effects and then copy and paste the console content here, I can take a look and see what's going on. It will help me track the problems down. Since this is a beta, I've left debugging messages on and there should be a lot of output to the console.

I've added an update that fixes some of the bugs.

If you go into the settings and under the "Combat (GM)" category there is a setting called "Auto-Roll Concentration Saves". If this is set to "auto-roll" it will not prompt to remove effects and it will automatically roll the saving throws whenever the caster takes damage and if they fail the saving throw it will automatically remove the effects. If you set "Auto-Roll Concentration Saves" to "notify" it will not roll the save at all, but it will prompt you to remove the effects. This is for when a GM wants more control or wants their players to manually roll the saving throw and then based on the result the GM can click yes or no.

Let me know if this fixes the problems that everyone is reporting.

Thanks, Lokiare! I'll test this out tonight. Do you know if it is updated to remove only the effects with a (c) instead of removing all effects on a failure?

Theoretically it should (and does on my machine), but let me know if it works or if there are any problems and give me a copy of the console output and I'll see if I can fix any problems you have.

I tested it tonight and it seems to be working for me. This is awesome, Lokiare! Really appreciate it.

Will concur with the awesome... seems to be working great, just tested it out with a simple encounter, not in anger with a group yet.. but all seems great ;
Only rolls a check for those with a concentration effect (C), if you dont have all those worked out, create a single power called concentration; (C), and have your player add it when ever they cast a spell with it

Makes the roll, adds the bonus, if they succeed great, if not all (C) effects are removed from the player, not all effects.. and any effect they have imparted to others on the CT get removed also

Great Work
