Hi, I've been working on a macro for one of my players who just picked up Bigby's Hand (D&D 5e), but I've run into a bit of a nuisance with queries that I hope someone can help me with. I initially wanted to make a one-button macro to handle all of the four attack types that Bigby's Hand can make, so the player doesn't need to have multiple buttons for the one spell. After writing it out, I realized that when I run it, all "?{}" queries from every branch spams the player. I looked into using "--i", but don't want the players chat to get filled with buttons that they need to click to finish the ability. I tried messing around with "--i" to skip the button step, but couldn't find a way to do it. After giving up on that idea, I tried using "--^" to skip the irrelevant code. My attempt looked like this: --/| Queries
--/|Query Type
--=Type|?{Attack effect?|Clenched Fist,1|Forceful Hand,2|Grasping Hand,3|Interposing Hand,4}
--/|Lookup Attack Name
--C[$Type.Raw]|1:&AttackName;Clenched Fist|2:&AttackName;Forceful Hand|3:&AttackName;Grasping Hand|4:&AttackName;Interposing Hand
--/| Outcome
--?[$Type.Total] -eq 1|SkipToClenched
--?[$Type.Total] -eq 2|SkipToForceful
--?[$Type.Total] -eq 3|SkipToGrasping
--?[$Type.Total] -eq 4|SkipToInterposing
--X|
--:SkipToClenched|
--^Clenched|
--:SkipToForceful|
--^Forceful|
--:SkipToGrasping|
--^Grasping|
--:SkipToInterposing|
--^Interposing|
I figured that it'd check which attack was chosen, then it'd entirely skip the code with the irrelevant queries, but alas, it seems the queries are generated on the "stack" (so to speak) as soon as the macro is run. I must admit that at this point I've entirely run out of solutions, and I hope someone here can point me in the right direction or, if not that, at least confirm that it isn't possible. Current code below: !scriptcards {{
