Need advice on weird Iniative problem (5e)

Hey there, having a strange problem in my game where one player, and only one player cannot use the initiative macro on their character sheet to be automatically added to the turn tracker. This is the working macro of one of my players: @{Deshanta Bazul (James V)|output_option} &{template:5eDefault} {{character_name=@{Deshanta Bazul (James V)|character_name}}} @{Deshanta Bazul (James V)|show_character_name} {{title=Initiative}} {{subheader=Ability Check}} {{rollname=Initiative}} {{roll=[[ d20 + @{Deshanta Bazul (James V)|intiaitive_to_tracker} + [[@{Deshanta Bazul (James V)|initiative_tie_breaker}]] + (@{Deshanta Bazul (James V)|global_check_bonus})]]}} @{Deshanta Bazul (James V)|classactioninitiative} And this is the macro of the 'problem' player: @{Gimnar|output_option} &{template:5eDefault} {{character_name=@{Gimnar|character_name}}} @{Gimnar|show_character_name} {{title=Initiative}} {{subheader=Ability Check}} {{rollname=Initiative}} {{roll=[[ d20 + @{Gimnar|intiaitive_to_tracker} + [[@{Gimnar|initiative_tie_breaker}]] + (@{Gimnar|global_check_bonus})]]}} @{Gimnar|classactioninitiative} Could anyone help me fix this? I have a feeling my players has somehow gotten a different character sheet (even though they look identical).

Does their macro work when YOU use it? If so, then the problem is on the player's end and not with the macro itself... If not, double check that the name you put in the macro is EXACTLY how it is on the character sheet, something as simple as a space before or after something could be the problem. "Gimnar" is not the same as "Gimnar "

No it doesn't work when I use it either. The thing is the macro -on- the sheet doesn't work either (which automatically uses whatever the character is named as).

Try changing the name of the character?

HoneyBadger said: Try changing the name of the character? Tried twice, no joy.

You are selecting the token the belongs to the character before rolling correct? Last I heard, Initiative macros won't add to the tracker if there is no token selected.

Make sure that the macro isn't named the same as another macro. I ran into that problem. It was calling itself and failing.

Also, look in the JavaScript console while you run it. There are some issues with macros that will only show up there and will otherwise be completely silent. My guess is your player's character has something in an attribute that isn't a number but is trying to be used like one and is causing the macro to crash.

Alright fixed it... turns out the player had set his sheet to not add init to the tracker... *sigh* Thankyou anyway everyone!

I was going to guess the paraenthsis in his name, but glad you figured out he had a setting set. :)
