Is it possible to have the API call rolls and buttons through them? A small script anyone has for such a thing?

Are you talking about having the API activate rolls on a character sheet?

Yeah sort of. I basically want the API to activate a button / produce the template with the values etc. As if I was pressing the button.

You can use %{selected|BUTTON NAME} as a macro without the API

To find the button name, you right click on it -> inspect element, and basically after 'roll_' its the 'BUTTON_NAME'

This is so it can be used with API buttons Jake. A simple way to call them out and format API buttons.

It appears that the API can't see the sheet's roll buttons. However, some sheets store the body of the roll button's macro in an attribute, which you could access (and that's the information you want, anyway).

Pretty much yeah. Good to know but can the API process templates properly? Tried messing about with Honeybadgers scripts etc. Just unformats the templates.

The reason I want to be able to do that is to create things like these. A method to compound abilities and functions. Something that is a sheet in itself but for commands.

The API can use templates, but there is an extra step the API script needs to go through to maintain the formatting.
