Community Forums: Macros not usable inside inline rolls.

Ok, lets simplify the macro testing since your #test macro is rather complicated.  Please try the following macro:  Name: #test  Body: 1d20+5 Type into the chat window like this:  [[#test  then hit enter then type ]]  then hit enter Let me know what the results were please. - Gauss

Ok, So I tried that and it works(Outputted an inline roll with a result on 21). Seems like it's only not letting me use a macro inside of an inline roll if the macro has an inline roll or "/r" in it. So I can use the macro in an inline if it says "1d20+5" but not if it says "[[1d20+5]]" or "/r 1d20+5"

You can't nest inline rolls, and you can't do /slash commands in inline rolls. So this is a limitation rather than a bug. If what you're trying to do is: [[floor((@{Valrok of Ol|AC}-10)/2)]], then rather than doing [[#test]], you would just do "#test" and hit enter, and it would work. Alternatively, you could define #test as just [floor((@{Valrok of Ol|AC}-10)/2) (without the brackets), and then you could do [[#test]] or /roll #test as needed.
