A preliminary version of this has been uploaded into FGU's LIVE channel. I'm holding off on announcing it or counting this as "completed" until we've created a wiki update to submit to SmiteWorks, but feel free to start using it.
There's no documentation created for it yet, but the 5e IF/IFT docs should be close enough with the following exceptions:
- IF/IFT: Align will support "neutral" in our version. Providing N or Neutral for the comparison alignment will match with any alignment with one degree of neutral.
- I've added an "Exact" key word to align, which switches to matching the alignment provided exactly. So LG = LG, TN = TN, etc.
- Not really a NEW feature but I don't think 5e documented it: Align, Align Exact, and Type all support comma separated lists for comparison. So "IFT: ALIGN EXACT (LG,CE) will trigger when the target is either lawful good or chaotic evil.
- I've added a IF/IFT: Status [health status] for triggering things via the health status FGU displays on tokens. For example, "IF: STATUS HEALTHY;" will only trigger when the character is at 100% health. Note: the key words that work change to match the current health display settings (simple vs detailed). Also, this is an add.... I didn't get rid of the preexisting IF/IFT: [Healthy/Bloodied/Wounded] ;
***** UPDATE 12/2/2022 *******
The feature is now live and pretty much as described above. As I state in the edit above, I'm keeping this item open until we've got a wiki update to submit.
Also, I have an additional effect modifier in the works. It turns out IF/IFT TYPE doesn't really solve some of the most basic bonus targeting because C&C published content doesn't store what the books call "specific type" (aka goblins, kobolds, or hill giant) in the Type field. That data generally falls in the NPC's Name field. I'm currently working on a solution to that, which won't require a ton of product updates. No promises on it's final form and function, but it's looking like an "IF/IFT NAME" modifier so far.
