While every piece of equipment in a gear-heavy game like SR5 can't be covered, some examples should help wrap your head around how the Active Effects feature functions. These examples assume you are familiar with basic system functionality and navigating the interface.

Note that as of SR5 v0.18.4, you'll want to use Submit Changes before and after changing anything on the Active Effect's Apply-To Tab due to a saving/refresing bug.^{[git 1]}

Medkit

The humble Medkit^{[sr 1]} is an example of an Equipment Item that uses different Apply-To modes and multiple Active Effects to allow for all it's operating modes.

Medkit Limit Increase

First Aid Test Roll Card (SR5 v0.18.5, FVTT v11.315)

The basic functionality is to provide it's rating as a limit increase.

Details Tab
- Effect Name can be whatever you'd like, but something like "Medkit Limit Increase" would be appropriate.
- Effect Icon and Icon Tint Color are likewise not code-relevant.
- Effect Suspended and Apply for wireless active only should be unchecked.
- Apply for equipped item only should be checked, so that selection from the Actor's Gear Tab can control wether or not the affect is applied.
Apply-To Tab
- Apply-To should be set to Test.
- Skills Filter should be set to First Aid, the rest should be empty. Note that while we are modifying a limit, we're not filtering based on that limit. The skill alone is enough.
Duration Tab can be skipped.
Effects Tab has one effect
- Attribute Key is data.limit, this tells the system we're attempting to adjust the limit.
- Change Mode is Modify, because we want other things that might affect the roll to be included, too.
- Effect Value is @system.technology.rating

Medkit Wireless Bonus

Medkit Wireless Bonus set to Test with a Skills Filter of First Aid. You'll need to set both "Apply for [...]" options activated on the Details Tab.

Medkit in Autonomous Mode

Medkit in Autonomous Mode set to Test Via Item.
