[HELP][TokenMod] Applying dammage rolls and armor reduction to bar1?

Hi everyone, I have started to script my games and someone said that the TokenMod could help me with what i wanted. Basically, what i want is to subtract a number given by me less the armor of the target, off the bar1 number. The script would be like : - "what's the dammage?" - i write the dammage (dammage rolls are made by a character sheet so i will need to be able to type the number rolled) - script subtracts armor of the target - script subtracts the final dammage number to the bar1 (which is my healthbar) Is that possible with TokenMod? And more importantly, how?

This should do what you want: !token-mod --set bar1|[[ @{target|bar1} - [[ ?{Damage?|0} - @{target| armourattribute } ]] ]] --ids @{target|token_id} just change armourattibute with the name of the attribute for the targets armour :)

Almost.  bar1 would set the current and max values of the bar.  You probably want: !token-mod --set bar1_value |[[ @{target|bar1} - [[ ?{Damage?|0} - @{target| armorattribute } ]] ]] --ids @{target|token_id} (and of course, change the armorattribute to whatever you use.

I knew i'd missed something! Thanks Aaron :)

Thanks, works great! Now, if i want to specify if its a special damage or a physical damage ? I tried something like this : !token-mod --set bar1_value|[[ @{selected|bar1} - [[ ?{Damage?|0} - @{selected|?{Special ou physique?|Special,spedef_total|Physique,def_total}}} ]] ]] --ids @{selected|token_id} I replaced the "target" with "selected" (with "target" can i select more than one token?) and tried to do a query for "special or physical?" but i get: "No attribute was found for @{selected|?{Special ou physique?}"

Timer T. said: @{selected|?{Special ou physique?|Special,spedef_total|Physique,def_total}} Attributes cannot be expanded after Roll Queries are due to the order of operations . ?{Special ou physique?|Special,@{selected|spedef_total}|Physique,@{selected|def_total}}

Hmm Now it does nothing... ^^ The complete macro is : !token-mod --set bar1_value| [[ @{selected|bar1} - [[ ?{Damage?|0} - ?{Special ou physique? |Special, @{selected|spdef_total} | Physique,@{selected|def_total} } ]] ]] --ids @{selected|token_id} And when i activate it with a token selected, it doesn't do anything, even in the chat, even with an atrocious amount of damage.

For testing, it's sometimes handy to leave the ! off the front and see what the command is after the variable are expanded. That should give a clue as to what is wrong. 

Also, you can use multiple different target statements, you just need to give them individual names: @{target|The First|token_id} @{target|The Second|token_id} @{target|The Second|bar1|max} If you use the same name again, it uses the same target for picking the resulting attribute. Note that using a name in the @{target} is required if you want to access the max portion of an attribute &nbsp; &nbsp;see:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros#Advanced_Usage" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros#Advanced_Usage</a>

Ok, so i did some testing and here is the results : "Damage?" HP in bar1 HP in bar1 after armor result shown inline roll 0 44 44 15 0 44--15=44-15 5 44 44 15 0 44--10=44-10 20 44 44 15 39 44-5=44-5 100 44 44 15 -41 44-85=44-85 The chat looks like that: token-mod --set bar1_value| 0 --ids -K2XgZEaAvCL5pKhk8El token-mod --set bar1_value| 0 --ids -K2XgZEaAvCL5pKhk8El token-mod --set bar1_value| 39 --ids -K2XgZEaAvCL5pKhk8El token-mod --set bar1_value| -41 --ids -K2XgZEaAvCL5pKhk8El Tested them all with the !, does nothing to the token. It seems more complicated than i thought, if the armor is higher than the damage, it subtract the rest of the armor to the HP.

The problem is the space after the bar1_value| &nbsp; !token-mod --set bar1_value| 0 --ids -K2XgZEaAvCL5pKhk8El !token-mod --set bar1_value| 0 --ids -K2XgZEaAvCL5pKhk8El !token-mod --set bar1_value| 39 --ids -K2XgZEaAvCL5pKhk8El !token-mod --set bar1_value| -41 --ids -K2XgZEaAvCL5pKhk8El What you have is basically like saying: !token-mod --set bar1_value| --set 0| --ids -K2XgZEaAvCL5pKhk8El When it parses the command, it tries to set bar1_value to nothing (ignored, so no change), then tries to change 0 to nothing (0 is not a valid attribute of the token, so is ignored). Change your command to this: !token-mod --set bar1_value|[[ @{selected|bar1} - [[ ?{Damage?|0} - ?{Special ou physique? |Special, @{selected|spdef_total} | Physique,@{selected|def_total} } ]] ]] --ids @{selected|token_id}

Checked the API console output... Another script crashed, so it stopped all the other scripts... Not sure it was working before i installed the other script, will re-do all the testing tonight!

OK ! Did all the test and .... it appears im just an idiot to not have seen that the API crashed! ^^ Now it works but only when the damage are equal or higher than the armor :/ It apply 0 to bar1 in the case the damage are strickly lower than the armor: &nbsp;token-mod --set bar1_value|0&nbsp;--ids -K2i1Lwtt6ixznF51en7 with the inline roll being "71--1=71-1" with 71 being the health of the token and 1 being the rest of the armor (23 damage versus 24 armor) I guess having a double negative in the formula messed it up a bit. &nbsp;Does adding a minimum so it doesn't go to the negative, would&nbsp;work ? I am trying to find the macro function for setting minimum or maximum but i don't find anything on it.

Just put the damage in as a positive number, it change your - to a + in the formula. 1-(-1) = 2 is just how math works. :) You can use the keep syntax for rolls to get the higher or lower of two values: [[ {1d4,3d1}kh1 ]] is 3 or 4 [[ {[[@{attribute}-@{other_attribute}]], 0}kh1 ]] is a minimum of 0 Groups in { } must be either all dice expressions (first line above) or all flat numbers (second line above) or you'll get an error.&nbsp;

Aaaaaah !! GOT IT! Thanks for the command, it works now! : token-mod --set bar1_value|[[{[[ @{selected|bar1} - {[[ ?{Damage?|0} - ?{Special ou physique? |Special, @{selected|spdef_total} | Physique,@{selected|def_total} } ]],0}kh1 ]],0}kh1]] --ids @{selected|token_id} I placed a minimum of 0 for the calcul of the damage versus the armor to not have negative and, also placed a minimum of 0 to the total damage to have bar1 stopping at 0 and not go to a negative. Will play around with it a little to see if its alright but it seems good now ^^ BIG thanks to everyone!!

No problem! &nbsp;=D
