Automation: Item Triggers

Instead of manually playing cut-ins, you can configure them to trigger automatically when an item is used. This is done through the Item Configuration window.

🛠️ Accessing Item Config

1. Open the Character Sheet of the actor.
2. Locate the item you want to configure (e.g., a "Longsword" or "Fireball" spell).
3. Click the Edit Item icon to open the Item Sheet.
4. Click the Cinematic (⚡) button in the item window header.

🔗 Creating Trigger Rules

An item can have multiple trigger rules. This allows a single item to have different visual effects depending on the situation (e.g., one animation for a normal hit, and a more intense one for a Critical Hit).

How to Add a Rule

1. Add Rule: Click the Add Rule (+) button at the bottom of the config window.
2. Select Condition: Choose when this rule should activate (e.g., On Attack).
3. Select Preset: Choose which Cut-in Preset to play when the condition is met.
   • Note: You must have created and saved presets on the Actor first for them to appear here.
4. Save: Click Save Settings.
