Argon Combat HUD
A Solasta inspired HUD to make your games easier for your players and for teaching new players without a hitch. It is only D&D 5e compatible.
Basics
Opening the HUD
To open the HUD, click the crossed swords icon in the token controls (top left buttons) or click the same button in the token hud (right click on a token). A macro is also included to toggle the hud.
Spells
Expanding the spells panel will show you how many maximum and remaining spell slots you have for each level. You can customize visibility of prepared spells in the module settings.
Action Tracking
Argon provides a basic action tracking, there is no option to undo or manually change the tracking, opening and closing the hud will reset the action tracking. The action tracking will not prevent you from using actions.
Save/Skills/Tools
This panel provides easy access to the respective checks and tools.
Weapon Sets
Above the portrait are 3 sets of 2 boxes. The left boxes represents the action and the right boxes represents bonus actions.
NPCs will have their sets created automatically. For PCs simply drag & drop items from the character sheet to the weapon sets boxes.
To remove an item drag it from the weapon sets box to the character portrait (a trash can will appear). Weapon sets are not limited to weapons, for example a caster could use it for frequently used cantrips.
By default switching sets will also equip or unequip the items.
Movement Tracker
A basic movement tracker will track remaining squares of movement during
a round. The tracker will turn yellow when getting to dash and turn red when it's exceeded (the third red bar could be used for the rogue double dash as well)
Tooltips
Tooltips provide useful information on the items, you can change which tooltips are shown (including no tooltips) in the module settings, these are client side settings.
Target Picker
In order for players to target using the Left mouse button, you'll need to install the Smart Target module. As an alternative, players can still use the T key to target.
When this feature is enabled, whenever you click on an action in the HUD, you will be prompted with a target selection mode. While in target selection:
- The number of Selected/Required targets will follow your cursor
- Left click (or T) to target a token
- Right click to cancel target selection
- Click
+or-to increase/decrease the number of maximum targets manually
Common Issues
Argon was made for Chrome. If you experience weird UI issues, consider switching browsers.
Portraits not showing
If your image path has parenthesis "(" or ")" the image will fail to load, this might be true for other special characters as well
FAQs
Can you add compatibility for X system?
No, Argon is hardcoded for dnd5e. If you want you can make a fork for a specific system. You have to include the licence section and credit the original authors (theripper93, Mouse0270) and include links to our patreon page\website (if provided).
Why is xyz type of item not in the HUD?
We had to make a choice on what to include, anything that's not on those categories is not included (a 1 minute cast time spell for example, or a consumable that is used as bonus action). Those items will not be added. You can use Sets for any item.
Why the items in the HUD are not updating correctly?
Only a select number of elements are dynamically updated. To manually update the HUD simply close and reopen the Argon HUD.
