Use initiative as a token action?

1682999247

Edited 1682999330
I had an initiative token macro as a token action. This helps to druid proof the initiative roll so you HAVE to have the token selected. Roll 20 changed something and this no longer seems to work. Does anyone have a token macro to add a token to initiative that they know still works?

Hi BigNorseWolf! Can you post the text of the token action, and identify the sheet you are using?

What game are you playing and what character sheet are you using? There may be character sheet specific commands that are available. For example, if you are using the 'D&amp;D 5E by Roll20' sheet, then you can use this command:&nbsp;%{selected|npc_init} to roll for initiative, which is exactly the same as clicking on the Initiative button from the character sheet itself for a linked token. Otherwise, generic macros will use some form of '&amp;{tracker}' with a dice roll:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros/Initiative" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros/Initiative</a>
It's for starfinder, so it needs to be sheet neutral.&nbsp; Starfinder society mostly uses the simple sheet but every once in a while someone uses the official Sheet. I made a very extensive macro mule that could work on either table and works as a very fast way to get on roll20 if you have a character

No.&nbsp; For some reason that sends people right off the rails nit picking a macro that's worked fine for 3 years but now doesn't work or works very weirdly depending on who's using it.

I'm sorry, then. Without information, it's difficult to impossible to figure out what the problem might be.
Even weirder. I have some tables where the old macro works, some where a new macro won't work
