[4E sheet] Powers roll only one die

In a 4e character sheet, under the powers tab, a power will only roll the first die in the command with the 3d die (It WILL roll both die in the chat box, I'm talking about the 3d die that appear on your screen). for example: (if power 6 die is a d6) Attack : [[1d20+@{power-6-attack}]] vs @{power-6-def} Hit: [[(1*@{power-6-weapon-num-dice})d@{power-6-weapon-dice}+@{power-6-damage}]] Damage ^This will only roll a d20, instead of a roll20 and a d6, which is what it's supposed to do. To test this, I tried switching the lines like this: Hit: [[(1*@{power-6-weapon-num-dice})d@{power-6-weapon-dice}+@{power-6-damage}]] Damage Attack : [[1d20+@{power-6-attack}]] vs @{power-6-def} And that time it only rolled a d6. Idk if this is a bug or it's supposed to happen, but either way I'm wondering if there is a way to make both die appear.

I'm going to move your post to the sheet forum for this appears to be more along the line of the macro code being wrong.

Might be related? 3D Dice not working with multiple nested rolls Have you tried this on the Dev?

I just confirmed this on both Production and Dev. The thing is none of these rolls are nested. I have been working on the sheet and decided not to nest any of the rolls because so many of the DnD4e sheet rolls are calling hidden attributes that add all of the bonuses together. I have no idea why the 3d dice are not rolling both the attack and damage dice.

Do you feel this is an actual bug or an issue with the sheet itself? If it is an actually bug I will move this thread back to the bug forum. Once there, the troubleshooting steps will need to be ran through with step 4 posted so let me know.
tbh I don't know at all. I think this is a bug because the die are separate and don't look like this "nested" die that you are talking about.
Can someone explain what "the Dev" is?

the dev is referring the developer's server. It is where all the beta features are previewed and played with before they are moved to the main server for everyone's use. Only mentors can create a campaign on it but they can invite anyone to play in the campaigns.

@Brian. No I don't think that's it.

Sorry I haven't gotten back to this sooner, damn you sleep and work! This is a not a sheet issue, and I'm guessing its currently how the 3d dice are working because I just rolled: [[1d20]] [[1d6]] pasted into chat and only one or the other showed a 3d dice even though they are both rolling. Wes

Now that you're back in the bug forum... time for the troubleshooting mantra :) Before we dive into the guts of the issue, we're going to need you to do a few things for us, things that regularly fix issues for users before more extensive troubleshooting is needed. Can you please follow Steps 1-3 of our Solving Technical Issues Guide to see if one of those components is causing the problem? If it does, just let us know that. If none of that resolves the issue, follow Step 4 , so that we can have this information to further assist you.

Wes Funny how [[1d20+1d6]] works on both Dev and Production severs though...

Riley D.2 said: If you try to roll 3D Dice before the last set has finished rolling, you won't get the 3D for the second roll. It can only roll one at a time. Is that what you're seeing? I strongly suspect that this is the issue at play. Each line in a macro (or each line in the textarea of a power on the 4e sheet) is processed as a separate chat message entirely. "[[d20+d6]]" rolls both 3d dice. "[[d20]] [[d6]]" rolls both 3d dice. "[[d20]]" and "[[d6]]" on separate lines (which are thus separate chat messages) only rolls the first as a 3d die, because when the system processes the second message, the first die isn't gone yet.
With the updates pushed out this morning, it seems the [[1d20]] and [[1d6]] (on separate lines) macro now works correctly. @Dante, does the sheet correctly now?
It does! thx!!
Glad to hear it. I'll close this thread as the issue seems to be resolved.
