[PATHFINDER] Can I make a macro to affect a character sheet value?

I want to make a macro that adds my attribute enhancements from a Barbarian's to the sheet, and another one to remove them. Is it possible? Can I affect other things like uses remaining of an ability and stuff?

Nope. The Macro system can not change any values, only read from them (the only exception to this being the turn tracker)

Mark G. said: Nope. The Macro system can not change any values, only read from them (the only exception to this being the turn tracker) Mark, is it possible (API) to change a token's bar value(1,2,3) and in turn have that change the sheet's linked attribute?

How would I go about changing a token bar value? For example, I created a custom attribute called Rage-Rounds. Can I somehow lower or increase with a macro, something like @{Rage-Rounds}-1? If possible, I could make a value that is equal to my rage bonuses that I can turn on and off (for example, an attribute called Rage-Bonus, which, with the press of a button, increases from 0 to 2, and add +@{Rage-Bonus} to my melee attack macro, then click another macro to lower Rage-Bonus to 0 to make the rage bonus stop.)

Macros in and of themselves can not change attribute values. Macros, however, can invoke API scripts which can change attributes on a character sheet.

Brian can probably come up with a way to structure your macro so that it will only add the bonus if a rage attribute is set. Basically, you'd reduce that attribute to either 0 or 1 and multiply it by the bonus. (sorry if that's confusing.. it's late, I'm tired, and there's less peach schnapps in the house than when I started cleaning my office... =D )

I'd love to know any way to play with attributes to set up a toggle attribute. Any tutorials or stuff? The idea of toggle modifications would be awesome for roll 20 in general.

well... assuming rage_mod is 5: [[ 1d20 + (@{selected|rage_toggle}*@{selected|rage_mod}) ]] If rage_toggle is 0, this will reduce to: [[ 1d20 + (0*5) ]] If rage_toggle is 1, this will reduce to: [[ 1d20 + (1*5) ]] Brian is particularly good at finding ways to turn numbers other than 1 into 0 or one as needed. You could use one of the bubbles on the token and set it to 1 or 0, with it stored in an attribute called rage_toggle or some such.

The closest we get is multiplying an expression by 0 (to turn it off) or 1 (to turn it on), and combining that with a rollquery (to supply the 0 or 1 at rolltime) or fancymath to subtract one attribute from another and turning that into a 0 or 1.

Ah, good call GenKitty! Roll Query is a good one: [[ 1d20 + (?{Raging?|1}*@{selected|rage_mod}) ]]

Roll query is my current solution, but I also really like the bubble one... Of anyone can do an API script to simplify this, let me know!

Well, at a minimum, the API can be used to turn off and on your raging: !token-mod --set bar1_value|[[ (1-@{selected|bar1})*1 ]]

That sounds amazing, how would I go about implementing that? I have no idea how to use the API.

Well, that's using the TokenMod script. You would have to upgrade to Mentor status to use the API.

Oh, applesauce.

It's well worth the price of admission. Trust me on that. Aaron will even provide the first 20 scripts for free.

@Vince! Ha! I do agree, of course. The API is a serious Game changer (and yes, the pun is intended, not that anyone cares! =D). I originally upped to mentor for the Transmogrifier as I was starting a second campaign and wanted to copy my copies NPCs across, but there are lots of great reasons to do it!
