Greetings, I would like some simple math operations in the formulas. For example, to calculate my animal companions's hp, I would use: HD: 7 Constitution: 16 Constitution Bonus: floor( ( Constitution - 10 ) / 2 ) Total HP: floor( @HD * 4.5 ) + @HD * @Constitution Bonus Basically I would need: floor, ceil, round, max, min I am sure in time I could think or need of other functions other than these, but for the time being, these simple things wouldn't be a problem for javascript to interpret and apply.

Yes, but it is irrelevant, mathematical operations such as min, max are useful in any system that operates with integer results, but with possible floating numbers in the formula.

Has this been made? I can't use floor, but there's really a great help in being able to round up or down. That way you could add BAB and basically anything, so that it only depends on level and ability scores, and then add additional equipment. Leveling the character would simply be to add the new abilities, jump the level, and off you go :-) Well... That is, after all the hard work is done :-)

Any chance it's gonna get into the formula? I really can't imagine that's a task more than a couple of minutes to add? Then again, I don't do ANY programming at all... But I do Excell :-P If the round down/up feature could get on board, the sheet would be insanely much cleaner, and it would really, really speed leveling up! :-) Then again, I've really done comprehensive work on speeding up the leveling as it is :-)

Not in the near future. Right now the dice expression language is at about its limits of saneness. Longer term we may look at more complex options but basic math operations is all that we are supporting for now.

Completely agree with "floor", "round", "min", "max". Right now using attributes in macros that are multiplied or divided then usually rounded down is not able to be done which makes the @attribute function pretty useless in a lot of cases. This tool is really great but that's the function I think would add a lot of value for quite a few systems.

dare i say it...yes...i dare, there is the possibility that this functionality may be supported by the API, but only the developers would be able to comment on the limits of the "messiah" update, lol.

Mmm. Yum. Roll20, only a few days since we got weighted tables, already they're talking of new shiny features. I approve. I also approve of being able to play with the API. Coding = fnu!
