Temporary Effects as Token Statuses
This module's goal is to allow GMs to disable/delete active effects from the token HUD.
Features
When a token has a temporary active effect active, display that active effect icon in the Status Effects HUD element.
Interacting with that effect icon will do one of the following by default:
- If the effect has a
statusId, it was meant to be short-lived or re-created frequently, delete the effect. - If the effect has no
statusId, disable it.
Examples:
- Akra casts "Bless" and the GM applies the "Bless" effect from the card output by Item Effects to Chat D&D5e to Akra's targets: Akra, Morthos, and Randall.
- The GM right clicks on one of the Tokens that isn't Akra and opens the status effect menu.
- The "Bless" icon is present in addition to other options here.
- The GM clicks on the "Bless" icon, and the "Bless" effect on the token's actor is deleted because the effect did not originate from that token's actor.
Setting: "Always delete instead of disable"
Having this setting toggled on will always delete the actor's Active Effect instead of sometimes disabling it. This is most useful for games using DAE/MIDI/Times Up to manage their active effect applications.

Compatibility
Tested with dnd5e, might work on other systems as well though.
Super Charged by:
Compatible with:
- DF Convienent Effects (Ignore the libwrapper warning, it's working fine).
Uncertain Compatiblity with:
- Any system that isn't dnd5e. The core concept should be system-agnostic but there might be details missing.
