Whispering Pathfinder skill rolls to the GM

Essentially what I want to do is set up a macro which when used opens a dialogue box into which the GM types the name of the skill he wants to roll and have it be rolled as a whisper to the GM (for secret perception checks etc) I could set them all up individually, but that takes time and leaves clutter on my macros (which I tend to create several of). I had a system that worked last time I tried it, but something must have changed. Here's the macro I've been using in the past. /w GM Devon ?{What skill do you want to roll? (Hyphenate if more than one word)}: [[1d20+@{?{What skill do you want to roll? (Hyphenate if more than one word)}}]] (I made it before roll templates, you'll have to excuse the appearance)

You can't reference a skill or macro with a query if I'm not mistaken. So if you do something like @{selected|?{What do you want to roll?} it won't actually roll the skill.

Saitama said: You can't reference a skill or macro with a query if I'm not mistaken. So if you do something like @{selected|?{What do you want to roll?} it won't actually roll the skill. Correct, see the wiki page on order of operations for details. Essentially the attribute substitution takes place before the query resolution.

Was it always this way? I can distinctly remember using that macro. It would generate an error message, but then it would work fine after you typed in the dialogue box anyway.
