Multi Action Button Doesn't Work with NPC's?

**Meliath1742** · July 2nd, 2022, 15:22

Just realized that selecting the multi-action (2 or 3 Actions) button doesn't apply the negative modifiers for NPC's (bad guys) being run by the GM. Is this a known issue?

We'll need to know which ruleset you're referring to.

Sorry, I'm using Savage Worlds in FGU, with Weird Wars 2. I couldn't get the modifiers to work with any of the NPC soldiers.

It looks like it was always built for the desktop modifier buttons to only work for PCs or NPCs added to combat tracker.

I think I was able to enable it for all NPCs which I'll add to the beta Test this week; but I'm just doing maintenance on this ruleset, so you'll have to let me know if it works without issue.

Thanks, I should get a chance to check it out this weekend.

Shouldn't that be standard, it has to be on the CT first (and also has to be it's turn)?

Why would you not want it on the CT and then do a multi-action? OOC the MAP would not matter anyway.

EDIT: Just testing and it definitely needs to be a PC or NPC on the Combat Tracker because the MAP button stays active forever until the PC/NPC ends their turn.

That's a good point. There's no "end of turn" for stand-alone NPCs to know when it should turn the button off. I'm wondering if I should just leave as originally built for now...

I was trying to use it with the npc in the CT.

It works fine for me using the exact setup from your screenshot in post #3. Can you test again - making sure the NPC window is opened from an NPC in the combat tracker?

It seems to be working fine. Tried it from the CT and the NPC's character sheet...no problems. Thanks for the help! ;-)
