Can someone please tell me why my Automation isn't working?

[Farnaby]

I have following effect on a glamorous buckler: [EFFECT equip SKILL:1 item deception]
It shows up under character effects in the combat tab but when I roll deception, it doesn't add the bonus.

I made a copy of the item and added the automation before dragging it onto the inventory tab.
when I cycle through not carried - carried - equipped it acts correctly, only showing up when the buckler is equipped.

Aaaargh!

At the very least, you are missing one comma between item and deception. You should be using [EFFECT equip SKILL:1 item, deception]
I believe changing that should fix it.

[Farnaby]

Nope, it wasn't the comma.

[myyra]

Nope, it wasn't the comma.

That is weird, because I actually tested it. For me it works fine with the comma and doesn't work without it.

Did you re-equip the item after changing the automation and do you have the character added to the combat tracker? I don't think the character effects actually work if you haven't added the character to combat tracker.

B****r, that was it [slaps head]
It was a new PC and hadn'T been added to the combat tracker yet.

Thanks myyra
