Macro Question

I am writing a macro to add a number to a character's attribute. Basically the macro rolls 1d10 and then I want to add that result to the character's attribute. Is that possible ? How would I do that ?   Xargun

Not without using an api script.

To be clear if you wish to change the attribute then yes that requires the API, but if you just wanted to show the total math including the attribute that is possible.  [[1d10 + @{CHARACTER|ATTRIBUTE} ]] would be the syntax for that. 

I have several API scripts installed and know how to add a specific value to an attribute, but how would I add a variable to an attribute?  Basically they roll 1d10 and I want to add the result to an attribute. I currently have my macro rolling 1d10 and announcing the results. Then I want to add the result to the attribute.

Can you give a more detailed description of what you want? It sounds like: You have a character (say Bob) with an attribute (say Money). Bob's owner rolls 1d10 to generate a variable amount. Do you want to... Display the amount with the attribute added: [[@{Bob|Money} + 1d10]] Add increase the value stored in the attribute by that amount (API script example): !attrib Money|[[1d10]] --@{Bob|character_id}

Basically for my Vampire game, when they hunt, they get 1d10 blood back. I want to display the amount they feed to the character who triggers the macro and add it to their attribute (CurrentBlood). I know how (as you show above) to do either, but not to do both with the same 1d10 random roll.

You would need an API script that does the addition and also displays the result.

The Aaron said: You would need an API script that does the addition and also displays the result. Just thought of this. Could I use an attribute (say Roll) and set that = 0 and add the 1d10 and to it. Then display 'Roll' and then add 'Roll' to the CurrentBlood attribute ?  Picked up a couple Java Script books from the library so maybe I'll research that.

I'm going hit the JS studying, too!
