Actor changes from Active Effects do not emit update that Triggler can listen for

[MrXofar]

When adding an Effect that changes data.abilities.[abl].value; Triggler is not picking up the change to trigger a condition.

Steps: Set CON = 10 Create triggler abilities.con.value < 1 Create Condition Lab item for "Condition" to trigger when abilities.con.value < 1 Add Effect data.abilities.con.value to add -10 CON now equals 0 "Condition" not set on token.

Delete Effect. Set CON = 0 manually. "Condition" set on token.

Environment Info:

• Foundry Version: 269
• Game System / Version: dnd5e 1.6.0
• CUB Version: 1.9.0
• Browser: Chrome
• OS: Windows 10

@MrXofar can you confirm whether this was working prior to CUB v1.9?

I cannot, this was the first time I've used this module.

What I've discovered/rediscovered is that Active Effect changes do not trigger an update to the Actor the data in the same way as updating the sheet. This means Triggler currently can't listen for those changes. I will explore some different options but for now you may have to manually manage this.

Thanks for the follow up :)
