Chat command for visual/sound effects.

@cefasheli / Boifubá showed me a macro that he is using. "this code is a frankestein, it's not mine" the idea is great!

I am thinking of a system of chat commands (and system properties) to allow the user to define certain visual or sound effects and trigger them using a chat command, so it could be used in an OtF button. Of course, this would require a 3rd party module.

Maybe something like:

[/if [S:Fireball] /show "Fireball"]

Where "Fireball" has been defined elsewhere (system setting). To make it most effective, it would prompt the user to click on a location (we would read the mouse), and it would display the effect there.

This would do damage (and show the fireball) [/r [2d+2 burn]\/show Fireball]

Or maybe we could enhance the damage parsing to allow:

[2d+2 burn /show Fireball]

//Requires and Target to be Targetted
if(game.user.targets.size == 0) ui.notifications.error('You must target at least one token');
//Requires the originating token to be selected
if(canvas.tokens.controlled.length == 0) ui.notifications.error("Please select your token");
//Requires FX Master Module
if (!canvas.fxmaster) ui.notifications.error("This macro depends on the FXMaster module. Make sure it is installed and enabled");

const sleepNow = (delay) => new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, delay))

async function Cast() {

// Scaled globally for consistency across scenes. Change divisor for size of animation
let Scale = canvas.scene.data.grid/175;
var plusOrMinus = Math.random() < 0.5 ? -1 : 1;
// Uses FX Master's Draw Towards function
function castSpell(effect) {
  const tokens = canvas.tokens.controlled;
  game.user.targets.forEach((i, t) => {
    canvas.fxmaster.drawSpecialToward(effect, tokens[0], t);

  });
}
//File path for the animated asset.
let file = "modules/jb2a_patreon/Library/Generic/Weapon_Attacks/Melee/";
