Blind Roll script: Possible to parse inline results?

So I've been making use of the Blind Roll /Rig Roll script by Aaron Garrett ( HERE ) for quite some time now. It's great because for my play style, having players able to roll their checks and not see the result has become the default way we play, and it made everything better. But recently we were testing some things, and the script is not built to take inline roll inputs or parse them. It breaks things. So I'm just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to modify the script so that it can handle inline results, and possible be built to parse a text input, and output them cleanly to the DM for the purpose of saving space? I post this as it's own thread because try as I might, I cannot find the script's thread and ask there.
It could. You could also use powercards and use the --whisper|GM option. It is effectively a blind roll at that point (I think... I've never actually tested that, lol). There is no rigging of rolls however.
Just tested and yes... --whisper|GM in powercards is a blind roll for the player. So something like... !power {{ --name|Skill Check --emote|HoneyBadger makes a stealth check... --Stealth:|[[ 1d20 + 3 [Dex Mod] ]] }} ... is sent to the GM while the emote appears in chat for all the players.
I suppose my question was more "Can anyone fix this, because I certainly don't know enough Javascript to do it". I appreciate the nod to powercards, though I don't think I'll be switching to it only because my players are used to and have macros set up for the !blindroll syntax, and I don't want to have to walk them through changing them all. I suppose a more lightweight roll script that handles inline would be better, but again, I certainly can't write it.

Try this. I only adjusted the !blindroll portion, not the !rigroll part. You should be able to do: !blindroll [[@{selected|skill}+1]]d20+[[ [[@{selected|attack]]+@{target|ac} ]] Weird attack.. and get something like: Blind roll sent to GM 3d20+8 Weird attack.. and /gmroll 3d20+8 Weird attack.. from bob Not really sure what else you really want, but it's certainly possible. BTW, I didn't test this, but it's a pretty minor change (so far) and should work fine. /******************************************************************************* * rollers.js - Provides specialized dice rolling alternatives. * * Dependencies: none ******************************************************************************* * * Commands for performing specialty dice rolling. * * !blindroll roll * Players may issue this command to have a roll of the dice generated in * secret to the GM only.

Aaron: When you tested the script out, did you actually get a result of an actual, normal inline roll output? Because when I replace the existing one with the version you posted, I get:
1435109049

Edited 1435109084
The modified version substitutes in the values of inline rolls, but still submits it to /gmroll, so "!blindroll [[1d20]]" will send "/gmroll 12" instead of "/gmroll $[[0]]", but "/gmroll 12" will still fail as you've seen. You'd have to change the "/gmroll" to "/w gm", although that will break the "!blindroll 1d20" use case. There is a HiddenRolls script which works on inline rolls (but not "/roll" commands) which you could use in conjunction with the (original or modified version of) Blind Roll to cover all your cases (e.g. "/roll 1d20" =&gt; "!blindroll 1d20", but "[[1d20]]" =&gt; "!hideall [[1d20]]", or "!hideall -v [[1d20]]" if you wanted everyone to know you're rolling 1d20).

The Aaron said: BTW, I didn't test this, but it's a pretty minor change (so far) and should work fine. It should function identically to the original, save that it will expand inline rolls before sending the dice expression. I just tested it and that is the case. If it needs to do more, of course, I can expand it. =D
I missed that line. Anyway, the pic is the result of your edit, which Manveti seems to have explained, in that the script is parsing the inline roll, but only outputting it as small text, not the actual hoverable roll graphic. I checked out his Hidden Rolls script, and provided I can get everyone to change their macros to "!hideall [[1d20+x]]", everything would be fine. But if I could just use the BlindRoll script so they don't have to change anything, that would be ideal. The purpose of needing things inline is mostly for me to keep chat readable on my end.

So, their macros are: !blindroll 1d20+@{some|attribute} currently and you'd like them to become: !hideall [[1d20+@{some|attribute}]] or is there more too it than that?

Askren said: The purpose of needing things inline is mostly for me to keep chat readable on my end. AH. Now I see what you're getting at. You aren't looking to support inline rolls and nexted inline rolls, you're just looking to have the format of the result changed.
