PF2e Tracker NPC - 9 errors and no whisper capability

Edit: FIXED! Shoutout to Dr. DM for pointing out that the word "Tracker" / "tracker" is parsed differently by Roll20 for reasons pertaining to the initiative tracker. Newly renamed "Ranger Guy" is bonking and shooting to his heart's content. Dragged an NPC Tracker in from the compendium yesterday, went to roll stealth behind the screen, and things went sideways. Pictured are the chat output and errors, the same I've received several times. I've tried deleting and reintroducing the NPC from compendium to no effect. Attacks are fully inoperable, while abilities that output a text block with inline rolls still work. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Two weeks later, still very much a thing.
Can you post a screenshot of the sheet of the tracker? What api are you using?
Dr DM said: Can you post a screenshot of the sheet of the tracker? What api are you using? Admittedly I'm not quite sure what you're looking for specifically, so here's the main page. Can post more if needed. Issue is replicable with zero scripts enabled, but I normally run: GroupInitiative, Aura/Tint HealthColors, TurnMarker1, TokenMod, HTML Builder.

OK, it turns out that "Tracker" and "tracker" are reserved words for Roll20 and the system doesn't process it the same way as other names--it looks for an entry in the initiative tracker rather than for a specific character. Any character named "Tracker" or "tracker" will show the same behaviour. If you import the Tracker from the Compendium and rename it, it will work fine.
Confirmed! In retrospect, that does make sense. Nice find, and thanks for the info!
No problem. It was an interesting investigation. And loving "Ranger Guy".
