Better Chat Message

Merge Damage

This feature allows you to merge a damage message with another one that precedes it. It will merge damages of the same type into a single instance for the purpose of Immunities/Weaknesses/Resistances.

• The module will look for a matching message among the 5 preceding the current one.
• The other message must have the same origin actor
• The other message must have the same target(s) (including targets from the Target Helper tool)

Note

You can merge more than two messages together.

Note

Merged messages can be split back into their original messages.

Inject Damage

You can also inject damage instead directly into a previous message without merging both messages together. This leaves the older message intact and only merge the damage instances into it.

• The module will look for a matching message among the 5 preceding the current one.
• a message can be injected by more than one message
• a message with injected damage can still merge to or be merged with another message
• a message with injected/merged damage cannot inject itself into another message
