How do I ????? in Unity

[Weepdrag]

Hello All,
I'm trying to figure out a spell effect for the following spell:
A stream of acid emanates from you in a line 30 feet long and 5 feet wide in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be covered in acid for the spell's duration or until a creature uses its action to scrape or wash the acid off itself or another creature. A creature covered in the acid takes 3d4 acid damage at start of each of its turns.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d4 for each slot level above 1st.

The spell is supposed to apply damage at the BEGINNING of the TARGETS turn for the duration (10 RND) of the spell. Is it even possible to do this within the effects of the spell or would it need to be done manually each round?

Thanks for any input

Depends on the ruleset... But since this sounds exactly like Tasha's Caustic Brew, I will assume D&D 5E

Here's how I did the spell:

There is an extension on the Forge called Better Combat Effects and it will let you set when the effect happens, at the beginning or the end of their turn

Thanks for the input, I'll take a look at "Better Combat Effects"

DMGO happens at the beginning of the turn. BCEG extension is not needed in this case.

Thanks LordEntrails. I missed the "DMG0", that was what I was missing.

Yea, and it always used to confuse me, it's an Oh, as in Damage Ongoing. I used to always think it was damage zero, and that doesn't work!

Is there a tutorial (or something like it) for the [FG Image Metadata Builder] ?

Thanks Laerun, I actually heard about the app from your video, but didn't know if there were any "official" instructions.
