Vehicle Handling Click to Roll

[Astrotech89]

Old ME5e module had slot for Vehicle handling but was unable to add click to roll feature and proficiencies on character sheet

I've looked a little into this. So far, this appears to be a limitation with how modules alter the game system. If we want vehicle handling to be a clickable function on the character sheet, we will need to understand how to add macros to a character sheet. There is nothing we can leverage from the DnD5e game system to do this as far as I know.

Yes, this is a limitation that has been a thorn in my side for some time. Modules can't add anything to the Actor model which is what I was attempting to do here with adding "newskills" to the Actor model and tried several other ways (none successful):

function extendActorData() { const dat = this.data.data; dat["newskills"] = dat["newskills"] || { "veh": { value: '' } };

My other thought would be that maybe this information can be stored in a separate json, updated from the sheet, and called as needed? I would have to experiment to get a proof of concept first. This saved information would also need to be deleted when he associated actor was deleted so it's not leaving all these orphans taking up space.

Yes, this will need to be a project for when we work on a game system rather than a module. For now, users will have to track it or we could just replace animal handling with vehicle handling knowing the modifier is different.

i used a module for manage this, so maybe i can study that module and try to replicate here

the module is this https://foundryvtt.com/packages/skill-customization-5e and i added in the module of mass effect this so i can later modify the bonus in the sheet like this=>

For a minimum viable product version of the ME5e module, it's certainly an option to add the skill customization module as a dependency as a temporary quickfix.
