Notes

  • This action continues to store its text information when swapped into another action, even if that action does not contain a text field. It's recommended just deleting this action instead if you need to replace it with something else to help keep data sizes down.
  • This action requires the core Foundry setting "Scrolling Status Text" to be enabled.
