Death Effects

Death Effects adds tools to configure animations to play on a token when it is defeated, meant to directly mimic the classic JRPG feel.

Automatic Trigger

Automatically trigger death effect animations when:

• The actor gains a particular status effect, such as 'Dead',
• When an actor's resource, such as health, reaches 0
• When the actor gains an Active Effect

Some reasonable defaults are configured for this automatic trigger that should be widely applicable for different game systems, and there are some specific integrations made for particular popular systems, to try and reduce the amount of work that may be required to configure this option.

Timeline Editor

The module uses a timeline editor to visualize and edit start time and duration for effects

Effects

• Crumble - Break the token's sprite into pixels that fall and disappear over time, starting from the top or bottom, as if it were crumbling to nothing
• Dissolve - Dissolve the token's sprite in blocks
• Dust - Similar to the Crumble effect, causes a token's sprite to be broken up into individual pixels and sent in a given direction, like dust on the wind.
• Fade - Fades the token to transparent.
• Flash - Flashes the token a given color
• Macro - Exeutes a macro
• Melt - Melts the token, much like the level transition effect from Doom
• Screen Flash - Flashes the screen a given color, either the entire screen or just the background
• Screen Shake - Shakes the screen
• Shake - Shake the token
• Slide - Slides the token's sprite in some direction
• Sound - Play a sound, optionally positioned at the token's location
• Sprite Animation - Will triggeran animation via the Sprite Animations module
• Start Playlist - Start a preset playlist, optionally specifying a particular sound
