Automation: Item Triggers

Instead of manually playing cut-ins, you can configure them to trigger automatically when a specific 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", "Fireball", or a custom ability).
3. Click the Cinematic (⚡) button in the item window header. (On some systems, this may be in the item's title bar).

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Link a Preset!

Setting a condition (e.g., "HP < 50%") is only half the work.

You MUST select a Preset from the dropdown menu for each trigger.

• Condition: WHEN to play? (e.g., Attack Roll, Low HP)
• Preset: WHAT to play? (e.g., "Critical Cut-in", "Danger Effect")

If the Preset field is empty, the trigger will simply be ignored.

🔗 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 or a specific dice roll).

How to Add a Rule

1. Add Rule: Click the Add Rule (+) button at the bottom of the config window.
2. Select Trigger Type: Choose when this rule should activate (e.g., On Attack, Dice Check).
3. Configure Condition: Depending on the type, enter the required values (text keyword, dice value, formula).
