Help me create Flow

Good morning all and thank you in advance for any assistance.

Okay, I have resigned myself to the reality that I will need to learn some basic coding techinques. So, here are a few things I really need help with:
Cure/damage spells (fixed dice with level based addition to total)
Damage spells (# of dice based on caster level)
Buff spells (duration based on caster level)

How to incorporate Templates in the Flow to appear automagically when an AoE spell/ability is used.

Special abilities with limited use based on class level (fervor, wild shape, channel positive energy, etc) @vanith provided an example but if I have two characters using this Flow, according to Vanith they both will pull from this fixed pool of uses.

Okay, that should be enough to keep me busy for a while. I will be self-educating on Java Scripting but as I really do not want to become a coder, my heart just isn't into it! I'd rather stick to Nursing.

 

Yes, I think I can. I want functional spells. I want functional magic items. I want functional special abilities. Currently these items in the Rules Library do not function.

I want to populate the Flow with the spells, special abilities, supernatural abilities, equipment, etc for those most commonly used by my player group. Prior to 7.x I had a fairly workable list of effects (spell, ability, etc) which I was able to deploy as needed.

Since the change to the feature/flow system, I have not been able to create any functional 'Flow' I had been hoping for more detail in the D20 Guide but that remains a WIP. So from my standpoint of a 'non-coder', the functionality of D20pro has acutally diminished. I can see the potential for great things but I have returned to using this software essentially as a map that can be shared across the internet.

I apologize if I misunderstood the content of the post from @vanith and now that I try to find it again, alas I cannot. no biggie. I do see several spells posted by @Nezzeraj and I will look to those for examples too. Thanks for support. I am just getting frustrated.

 

Okay update on my use of Bull's Strength that was imported from @Nezzeraj, the ability was modified appropriately, however the duration did not apply. These spells are found in Forums > Gaming Discussions > User Created Content > Some New Spells

 

I tried that. Made the change to getCasterTotalLevels() The spell cast without a hitch, however the duration, when viewed in the Mini Window > Effects, continues to read 0 (zero). In the Decision Window > Apply GM Feature, when I click on the effect it opens to show a Flow screen which then shows the effect of +4 strength enhancement but there is no duration box visible here. I don't know if that is germane but thought I would throw it out there.

Sorry but I just realized I missed the first step when I started this Thread!
D20pro: 7.2.10
OS: X 10.13.3
The problem is reproducible. I think it is an I/O (idiot operator) Error.
The problem: I cannot create functional spells/magic items/special abilities in this Feature/Flow system.

Okay, now that is out of the way. Let us return to the lesson at hand.
@Krilion_GD, I have no doubt of your skillz (sic). Mine however are severely lacking. I did check the script library, as was suggested, for the getCasterTotalLevels(), it was there and returned as Valid when I clicked the validate button. I'm hearing you that the duration display is a bug that was fixed only in this instance, it is not.

@vanith I appreciate your input and your examples. I too lack Alice's adventurous spirit when it comes to coding! I think your suggestion of hard coding is probably the best answer at this time. I was hoping to automate some of the mundane issues like advancing level-dependent variables. But it worked the old way, so to the old way I return, at least for game night purposes.

I think for the time being, I shall continue to peruse the D20pro Guide and follow along on these forums and Discord. I will jump back in when the waters are not so far over my head.
Thanks All.
Mickey

 

Okay, after conversation with @Krilion_GD I have made a stab at scripting. So I used info from @vanith as well and created a valid script. However, it doesn't work. I use this as a Trait for my cleric. it can be used, it creates a template that selects the characters within its radius. Then when executed, it does not heal damage as expected. Can someone take a look and help me figure out where this is going sideways. Thanks.

 

great thanks.
