Help! Including emotes with dice rolls...

Here's something that's been giving me a devil of a time: adding emotes to dice rolls in the character sheet. I've looked at several character sheet designs that do this, but no matter what I try I end up with all manner of crazy errors. My basic dice roll code looks something like this: {[[(@{skill}+@{ability}+?{Modifier|0})]]d10!sd}>7 This packages everything up nicely for the chat readout. I added: "/em makes a [Skill] roll" and ended up with Tom (GM) makes a [Skill] roll {6d10!sd}>7 (Calculates the dice to roll just fine, but doesn't actually roll anything). I added: "@{name} makes a charm roll" and ended up with Alpha Template makes a [Skill] roll {6d10!sd}>7 (Again, calculates, but doesn't roll). Throwing in a "/r" command doesn't get me anywhere: Alpha Template makes a [Skill] roll /r 6d10!sd}>7 Now, if I drop the emote and put in a "/r" command, everything works like a charm. So what am I doing wrong here?

Try... /em makes a [Skill] roll [[{(@{skill}+@{ability}+?{Modifier|0})d10!sd}>7]]

If you want the name of the character and not the player, you can use @{character_name}. However, there are other emotes that can work documented in the wiki (I'd list them but am writing from my phone and it's kinda difficult).

Godsbane: works, but we really need to find a way to make the dice rolled viewable, not just the number of successes. G.V.: I looked at that character sheet wiki and can't find anything on the topic. What page are you looking at? Can you paste a link? (Understand the frustration of using this forum on a phone!)

The problem is that you're putting everything on one line. Use \n to create a newline: /em makes a skill roll\n/r {[[(@{skill}+@{ability}+?{Modifier|0})]]d10!sd}>7

Dammit Brian! You keep coming up with these ridiculously simple solutions to these problems. :) Thank you!

Godsbane: It dawns on me the inline roll formula you offered is perfect for the damage rolls I've been building into my sheet. So thanks! Edit: AND works like a charm!

Heh. What Brian told you is how I do my macros. I thought you wanted a one line (all in the emote) solution, specifically for some reason. So I had to work out how to do that. :D I should have just copy pasted my macros.

Heh! It's how the macros in the original WoD sheet that I used for an initial framework. I just didn't realize what the "\n" did, so I scrapped it. But so far, everyone loves how clean the inline damage roll looks. So THANKS!
