[Question]

Ok I am not stupid when it comes to computers far from it, but I am unable to figure out how to make scripts work. I found a script I wanted to use and cut and pasted it into the API window, went into the campaign and couldn't figure out how to make the damn thing work. The specific script was the dice roller for Edge of the Empire found at: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/182569/script-edge-of-the-empire-dice-with-images-in-the-chat-window#post-182569" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/182569/script-edge-of-the-empire-dice-with-images-in-the-chat-window#post-182569</a> Any help, suggestions etc would be greatly appreciated.

It works using chat commands. See the instructions in his script's beginning comments.

Ok that was seriously not very helpful. I will explain what I have done and hopefully someone can verify if I did it correctly. Go to the campaign page I want to add the script to Click on API scripts Under the New Script Tab, paste in EotEDice2 in the name window Paste the script provided making only the text is copied (not the numbers to the left side) Click Save Script Now after doing all this, in the API Console below is states: Error downloading scripts (probably no scripts exist for campaign.) I launch the campaign and I am unsure how to use the commands in the chat window. Do I just use the commands "!" or "/!" or what? Again I am neither obtuse nor stupid and this is NOT intuitive in any way, shape or form. As before, help appreciated =)

As before, help appreciated =) Sorry you had so much trouble! :) &nbsp;I'm usually around a little more, but been busy at work. &nbsp;I just answered your PM and I hope you are able to start using the script. &nbsp;I think its really cool we can do stuff like this. The "!" command tells Roll20 that its a special command and to let the script know that. &nbsp;Then the script takes everything after the ! and figures out what to do with it. &nbsp;Once you use it a few times you will be a master. &nbsp;You can even put the commands into a macro if you like, but for this specific script it wouldn't help that much since its always a different pool of dice you need to roll. If you play in google hangouts there is also an excellent hangout app that will roll the dice for you, but I'd love it if you were using my script! :) &nbsp;Please let us know how it works out and please if you have any problems or suggestions just let me know! Lastly, Roll20 Devs have nothing to do with the script so don't get made at them if it doesn't work. &nbsp;:) &nbsp;You can only blame me!!! :(

Sorry. If you had explained more clearly what your problem was, I could have given some better insight to help you solve your problem. :)
