[Request] Dice Pool Modification Skills #160

Closed zane5015 closed 4 months ago

zane5015 commented 4 months ago

With the addition of #152 will there be a way to have active effects for custom made skills (some examples including unique magics and combat skills) in the future?

Could you elaborate what you mean? Because currently the list of skills that show up on the active effect dropdown is the list of skills present on the configured skill compendium.

zane5015 commented 4 months ago

I'm asking if there is a way to add more options to the dropdown in terms of custom made skills. For an example in a game I'm currently in we are using vehicles extensively along with the Mechasys Core rulebook. In it we use skills such as Gunnery(Cannons) and Gunnery(Missiles) for weapon checks, however we can't use the Dice pool modification for those skills so I'm asking if there we can add those skills along with other custom ones to the dropdown for pool modification toggles.

So like I mentioned:

...the list of skills that show up on the active effect dropdown is the list of skills present on the configured skill compendium.

For example, here's a custom skills list: image

And here it is on the dropdown: image

And finally here is on the pool: image

Ah I see, apologies for wasting your time on this. didn't fully realize that I could just add skills into a list like that for it to work. Thank you for your time in responding to me on this topic. If I may ask, how would I get the system to read the newly created compendium?

No problem, follow the "Starting with Skills" section from this guide: https://github.com/Mezryss/FVTT-Genesys/discussions/50

Note that when it mentions the word world, it means the actual word, not the name of your world.
