> [!tip]- Example
> ![[Obsidian_8UvNvwXJtq.gif]]
##### Required Plugins
[Meta Bind](obsidian://show-plugin?id=obsidian-meta-bind-plugin) The calculator is coded with Meta Bind and relies on this to function.
##### Recommended Plugins
[Obsidian Leaflet](obsidian://show-plugin?id=obsidian-leaflet-plugin) Useful for calculating the distance between two towns. Check out [[Obsidian Leaflet]]; specifically the regional map tutorials have instructions on setting up the ability to measure distance.
#### Instructions
1. Create a new note and call it `Party Configuration`.
2. Copy the template below into the `Party Configuration` note ensuring that there are no blank lines above the top of the template. The `---` must be at the top of the note.

##### Location Note Code
Copy the code below into another note and change the `88` to match the distance between Town A and Town B.
`VIEW[round((88* {Party Configuration#TravelCalc}) / 60 / {Party Configuration#HoursPerDay}, 1)]`
> [!warning]- Back End Calc
> This calculation is referenced in the travel calculation by external notes.
> **Travel Calc:** `VIEW[({Party Configuration#varMins}/(({Party Configuration#BaseSpeed} / ({Party Configuration#ExhaustionLevel} > 1 ? 2 : 1) + ({Party Configuration#Encumbered} ? -10 : 0) + ({Party Configuration#HorseshoesofSpeed} ? 30 : 0) + {Party Configuration#AdditionalBonus}) / 10) * {Party Configuration#SpeedMultiplier})][math:TravelCalc]`

You should now have a working calculator within this note. You can use this calculator in isolation by filling in the calculator and entering in the `Miles to Travel`.
You can also use this calculator in different notes. Copy the code below into a note and change the `88` to match the distance that the party is going to travel.
This is useful in `Location` notes. I like to use it in a note about a town. In this note I list the neighbouring town and use this code to automatically calculate the travel time from the current town to the next town. I will repeat this for every town/location that can be travelled to from the current town.
