Can I use api commands inside a roll query?

I want to have a macro button in my bar, which opens a roll query popup, which will execute a different api command depending on which option I selected. I've tried the straightforward way, but when I do this it will send the api command to chat, but not execute it. This is what I've tried: ?{Target|Map1, !mc move --target Map1|Map2, !mc move --target Map2|rejoin, !mc rejoin} I've also tried putting the command in seperate macros and calling those, but this also sends the command to chat without executing it.

Hi caluthan! Remove those spaces before the API call. An API call begins with an exclamation point. Instead of receiving this: !mc move --target Map2 chat is receiving this: !mc move --target Map2 Try this code: ?{Target|Map1,!mc move --target Map1|Map2,!mc move --target Map2|rejoin,!mc rejoin}

Also, if any API calls have pipes in them, be sure to replace that pipe character with the HTML equivalent: | The order of operations can play havoc with queries. You can find more info  here . Here's a sample of a simple tokenmod re-sizing query with replacements in place: ?{size|M,!token-mod --set width|70 height|70|L,!token-mod --set width|140 height|140} In many cases, it's much simpler to build a  Chat Menu .
Thx this worked. :D
