Add Animation for Elemental Blasts

[ChasarooniZ]

Hi, started on a script for adding animation for elemental blasts, figured it would do the community good to share it.

const isMiss = args[1].hitTargets === false;
const target = args[1]?.allTargets?.[0];
const source = args[1]?.sourceToken;

if (!target) return;

let seq = new Sequence()
    .effect()
    .atLocation(source)
    .stretchTo(target)
    .missed(isMiss);

const flags = args[0].flags.pf2e.context;
const options = flags.options;
const traits = flags.traits;
const isTwoAction = options.includes('action:cost:2');
const isMelee = options.includes('melee');
const element = traits.find(t => ['air', 'earth', 'fire', 'metal', 'water', 'wood'].includes(t))

const isWeaponInfusion = options.includes('self:effect:weapon-infusion');
if (isWeaponInfusion) seq = weaponInfusionAnim(element, options, isMelee, source, target, isMiss)
if (traits.includes('air')) {
    if (!isWeaponInfusion) {
        if (isMelee) {
            seq.file("animated-spell-effects-cartoon.smoke.05");
        } else {

Really nice macro, but I noticed some bugs:

• Water+Ranged has an offset that makes the blast show up in the wrong location. using spriteOffset({ x: 95, y: -90 }) is slightly better but also not great depending on the placement of the tokens
• Looking at the traits is not reliable when using the Versatile Blasts feat (adds a second damage type option to each blast element)

PS: You have some extra triple-backticks at the very end after the final }. Easy to remove but less technical people might not notice those and wonder why things break.

[ChasarooniZ]

1. nice catch
2. Incorrect for versatile blasts, as it only adds a trait, the original traits still remain for the attacks

[ChasarooniZ]

Fixed issue with offset of smaller one

[ThiefMaster]

Before I start creating a frankenmacro from yours and another one I found out there, do you have any plans to support the different elemental damage types?

This works nicely to get both the element and the damage type:

const roll = args[0].rolls.find((r) => r.options.action === 'elemental-blast');
const data = roll?.options.identifier;
const [element, damageType, meleeOrRanged, actionCost] = data.split('.');

But of course picking nice animations etc. is a lot of work :D

Nah feel free to take a crack at it. My only kineticist in my campaign is deceased, so don't plan on spending the time to work on it while I don't have a player actively using it
