A beautiful mostly system-agnostic and completely customizable implementation of a Simultaneous Combat System. See the Reddit post from the author.
Have you ever tired of waiting for the turns of your friends to be over? Are you fed up with your players taking so long in every combat encounter? Do you feel like changing things up in your game and trying something new?
In the setup screen, use the URL https://github.com/arcanistzed/scs/releases/latest/download/module.json to install the module.
Please follow the built-in tutorial (built with IntroJS), for instructions. You can always relaunch the tutorial from within the settings. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Please consider supporting me on my Patreon if you like my work. You can see a list of all my projects on my website.
In supported systems, SCS will detect whether the current phase has been registered with the module and will restrict what can be done on your turn accordingly.
If you would like to add support for another system or more phases, please make a PR or let me know on my Discord (link is below) and I will happily take suggestions.
Currently only DnD5e is supported with the default phases as described in the reddit post linked above.
When using BetterRolls5e or MidiQoL, you will get this warning from libWrapper which is safe to ignore:
libWrapper: Potential conflict detected between module 'scs' and module 'betterrolls5e'.
Module 'scs' did not chain the wrapper for 'CONFIG.Item.documentClass.prototype.roll'.The module will display the current phase and round in an interactive and draggable app. You can use the arrows to change phase (< or >) and change round (<< or >>), or you can simply click on the phase you would like to switch to (not recommended if using phase/cycle limits).
This module updates the Combat Tracker as you use it for better compatibility, but hides the buttons for changing turns. This module also prevents any turns to be assigned, so that you don't see any highlighting for such in the Combat Tracker. SCS prompts to end combat whenever the round is equal to zero and will start a new combat if there is none when loading. The module will end the combat when all the combatants are removed. There is also a setting to hide the default Combat Tracker.
When enabled, once the combat has ended or all of the combatants have been removed, the app will hide itself. It will show itself again when a new combat is created. You can use this feature without the default Combat Tracker by simply adding and removing combatants in the Token HUD when combat is beginning or is over.
In order to ease determining the attack order (for example, in the default attack phase), the module shows you the last attack roll either next to the token or in the Combat Tracker. This currently only works in DnD5e and PF2e.
You can switch the phase, current round, or toggle the app's visibility with keybindings.
The app moves outside of SmallTime's way and locks into place right above it.
Works alongside the realtime clock by manipulating the Combat Tracker in the background, therefore the clock will be paused when the round is not zero and the game time will be changed when the round is changed.
This module hides Argon's "End Turn" button.
The Attack Display parses and handles Better Rolls' chat messages to allow it to display attack rolls made with the module. Please note that SCS may have difficulty determining the correct token to add the display to if you use Better Rolls to roll for linked tokens. To get the right result, you can select the token before rolling for attack. If that doesn't work, make sure you only have one token from that Actor on the map.
A configuration menu that allows you to manually configure all colors used. The numbers in the fields represent the hue value (from 0 to 360) of the top and bottom of each linear gradient. You can click the dice buttons to generate a random value for that field.
This setting will automatically switch the round at the end of the cycle of all phases. You can also do this with Maximum Cycle set to 1 and Limit Cycles enabled.
This setting will put a limit on how many cycles can take place before switching to the next round. For example, if Maximum Cycle is set to 3, after each phase has been completed three times, it will be the next round. It is recommended using the arrows to navigate between phases when using this.
SCS has a small API with a few methods that can be called by others. They are accessible under game.modules.get("scs")?.api.
This will change the visibility of the SCS Application. You cen either set state to true to display the App or to false to hide it.
This will elegantly hide the default combat tracker from the sidebar. An optional Boolean parameter can be used to show the tracker again, if hidden.
This will show the IntroJS tutorial tour once.
This will stop the tour from showing every time the page is loaded unless the user re-enabled the tutorial from within the module settings.
An optional Boolean parameter can be used to also immediately close the tutorial, but this defaults to false.
An asynchronous method that changes the SCS's round by a given delta. Note that this will also change the Core round. Use a positive number for the delta to move the round forward and a negative number to go to previous rounds.
Use game.combat.nextRound() or game.combat.previousRound() instead.

This module has two hooks which are only called on the GM's client:
This hook is called whenever the SCS round changes. It has three arguments which are (in order): the current phase, the previous phase, and the delta.
Use the updateCombat hook and check the change.round value instead.

You can submit bugs via Github Issues or on my Discord server.
Please note that the Phases must be short enough to fit their boxes, so you shouldn't put anything over approximately eight characters.
