Adding an attribute on the fly to a macro

Is there a way to add an attribute variable on the fly when typing in a macro? If so, what is the syntax? %roll20 +STR_MOD <---The attribute. I ask this question because I have a HUGE set of options when it comes to specific character. If I were to create a macro for each option, it would be about 2 dozen total when taking to hit macros + damage macros. So if I could just create a base macro then add an Attribute variable depending upon the option I chose that round, that would be a HUGE time saver.

What you want would be roll queries. Look on this page and it will explain plus give examples : <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Dice_Reference#Roll_Queries" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Dice_Reference#Roll_Queries</a>

Thanks for the note; I am aware of roll queries. What I want is to know whether or not the ability to add an Attribute variable to a Macro.

Oh. That I don't know. Sorry

:D No worries! Thanks for the help anyway!

You can put in: %Ability +@{charactername|attributename} Note: it will add it to the end of the macro so if you need it in another part of the macro it won't work. - Gauss

Ahhh, ok that is the syntax I was missing. Lemme go try that.

Cool...that works just fine, but doesn't really save any time when I have to type the +@{name|attribute} I know there is a function of "OnClick" to roll that characters Initiative directly into the initiative chart now. Is there any similar function for selecting the attribute of the selected token? BTW, correct format is %macro +@{charactername|attribute}

It's fairly moot now, because I went ahead and just created all the macros :) BUT if the functionality is there, I'd like to see it!

KCRift, could you explain what you meant by "correct format is..."? - Gauss

It was a minor thing in what you posted. I'm sorry I was not trying to be obnoxious. It was %Ability vs %Macro. Perhaps 'correct' was not the right word. I was speaking semantically to clarify what worked for me.

Abilities are a form of macro in the character sheets while Macros are a different form of macro in the settings tab. I was being quite specific for the purposes of being clear which system is being referenced. :) Thus, %Ability and #Macro are the two ways I reference the two types of macros lest people get confused and try to do #Ability or %Macro - Gauss

Gotcha! Thanks for the clarification!
