[Script] PowerCards 3 (Thread 3)

Silvyre said: Patrick said: [[ [$RandGen] d20t[Randomness] ]] Try [[ [$RandGen] [[d20]]t[Randomness] ]] Ok, that worked fine, and thanks.  My next question is is there any way to refer to another variable, such as[[ [$RandGen] [[SpellNum]]t[Randomness] ]] ?

You could do this: !power {{ --Number of spells|[^SpellNum] --Spell List|[[ [$SpellList] [[ [$SpellNum] d20 ]]t[Wizard Spells] ]] }}

Duh.  I never thought to just invert the formula.  Thanks again.

Ok, try this one on for size.  My goal below is to add a conditional inquiry from the player for advantage/disadvantage/neither, but the formulas after the conditional attempt to execute immediately, displaying the jibberish you don't want, instead of the powercard. This powercard works fine without the added code asking the player what their situation is. The line I added is: --Base Attack Roll|?{Select Situation|Advantage,[[ [$Atkbase] 2d20KH1 ]|Disadvantage,[[ [$Atkbase] 2d20KL1 ]|Neither,[[ [$Atkbase] d20 ] The full card is here: !power {{ --name|@{meleeweaponname2}  --tokenid|@{selected|token_id} --bgcolor|red --leftsub|Action --rightsub|Melee --Base Attack Roll|?{Select Situation|Advantage,[[ [$Atkbase] 2d20KH1 ]|Disadvantage,[[ [$Atkbase] 2d20KL1 ]|Neither,[[ [$Atkbase] d20 ] --@{meleeweaponname2} Attack|[[ [$Atk1] [[$Atkbase]] + @{meleetohit2} ]] vs @{target|token_name}'s [[@{target|bar2}]] AC --?? $Atk1.base == 1 OR $Atk1.total < [[@{target|bar2}]] ??

Over AC|Deal [[ [$Dmg1] @{meleedmg2} + @{meleeattackstat2} + @{meleemagic2} ]] @{meleedmgtype2} damage --?? $Atk1.base == 20 ??

Patrick said: [[ [$Atk1] [[$Atkbase]] + @{meleetohit2} ]] It is not currently possible to use Roll IDs in this manner. Patrick said: ?{Select Situation|Advantage,[[ [$Atkbase] 2d20KH1 ]|Disadvantage,[[ [$Atkbase] 2d20KL1 ]|Neither,[[ [$Atkbase] d20 ] This Roll Query needs a bit of work. I'll recommend: [[ [$Atkbase] ?{Roll|Normal, 1d20|Advantage, 2d20kh1|Disadvantage, 2d20kl1} ]]

That's cleaner, causing the prompt to work, but then the powercard just hangs on target selection, I assume not processing the rest at all, and producing no output.

Patrick said: --?? [...] ?? emote|[...] It is not currently possible to use reserved tags (like 'emote') with conditionals. You should also double-check your Rollable Table calls (e.g. 1t[Piercing Hit]), because Rollable Table names should not include spaces.

Heh, well those methods may not SUPPOSED to be able to work, but they most certainly do.  Like I said, the powercard works flawlessly without that one line of extra code, adding a player input condition that the other powercard conditionals rely on to calculate causes the whole thing to fail outright. To make it work with the player-conditional, I just basically need a code-inserted delay until X happens.  Is that possible?

Patrick said: Heh, well those methods may not SUPPOSED to be able to work, but they most certainly do. Interesting; from a bit of testing, it appears that the whisper tag and the emote tag both work with conditionals. Good to know!

Roll Queries are executed before the PowerCard gets processed; it shouldn't pose an issue. I might suggest posting your updated macro code.

Sure, so my original, working code is as follows: !power {{ --name|@{meleeweaponname2}  --tokenid|@{selected|token_id} --bgcolor|red --leftsub|Action --rightsub|Melee --@{meleeweaponname2} Attack|[[ [$Atk1] d20 + @{meleetohit2} ]] vs @{target|token_name}'s [[@{target|bar2}]] AC --?? $Atk1.base == 1 OR $Atk1.total < [[@{target|bar2}]] ?? Under AC|You deal no damage --?? $Atk1.total >= [[@{target|bar2}]] AND $Atk1.base <> 1 ?? Over AC|Deal [[ [$Dmg1] @{meleedmg2} + @{meleeattackstat2} + @{meleemagic2} ]] @{meleedmgtype2} damage --?? $Atk1.base == 20 ?? Critical hit|Deal [[ [$Dmg2] @{meleedmg2} ]] @{meleedmgtype2} damage --?? $Atk1.base == 1 ?? emote|[[ [$PM] 1t[Piercing Miss] ]] --?? $Atk1.base > 1 AND $Atk1.total < [[@{target|bar2}]] ?? emote|[[ [$PM] 1t[Piercing Miss] ]] --?? $Atk1.total >= [[@{target|bar2}]] AND $Atk1.base <> 1 AND $Atk1.base <> 20 AND $Dmg1.total < [[@{target|Bar3}]] ?? emote|[[ [$PH] 1t[Piercing Hit] ]] --?? $Atk1.total >= [[@{target|bar2}]] AND $Atk1.base <> 1 AND $Atk1.base <> 20 AND $Dmg1.total > [[@{target|Bar3}]] ?? emote|[[ [$PK] 1t[Piercing Kill] ]] --?? $Atk1.base == 20 AND $Dmg1.total + $Dmg2.total < [[@{target|Bar3}]] ?? emote|[[ [$PC] 1t[Piercing Critical] ]] --?? $Atk1.base == 20 AND $Dmg1.total + $Dmg2.total > [[@{target|Bar3}]] ?? emote|[[ [$PK] 1t[Piercing Kill] ]] }}  But obviously my players want to have advantage or disadvantage instead of rerunning the entire attack or manually rolling a d20 after the fact. So, my goal is something akin to this: !power {{ --name|@{meleeweaponname2}  --tokenid|@{selected|token_id} --bgcolor|red --leftsub|Action --rightsub|Melee --@{meleeweaponname2} Attack|[[ [$Atkbase] ?{Roll|Normal, 1d20|Advantage, 2d20kh1|Disadvantage, 2d20kl1} ]] + @{meleetohit2} ]] vs @{target|token_name}'s [[@{target|bar2}]] AC --?? $Atk1.base == 1 OR $Atk1.total < [[@{target|bar2}]] ?? Under AC|You deal no damage --?? $Atk1.total >= [[@{target|bar2}]] AND $Atk1.base <> 1 ?? Over AC|Deal [[ [$Dmg1] @{meleedmg2} + @{meleeattackstat2} + @{meleemagic2} ]] @{meleedmgtype2} damage --?? $Atk1.base == 20 ??

Roll Queries are executed before the PowerCard gets processed; it shouldn't pose an issue. I might suggest posting your updated macro code. This may be the case hierarchically, but I know Powercard must attempt to process the script immediately thereafter, as my previous attempt at including an option for adv/disadv sent the broken code to chat before I had even selected an option.  Since the script immediately following the player input conditional was dependent on the conditional itself, it just output broken code.

[[ [$Atkbase] ?{Roll|Normal, 1d20|Advantage, 2d20kh1|Disadvantage, 2d20kl1} ]] + @{meleetohit2} ]] Should be: [[ [$Atkbase] ?{Roll|Normal, 1d20|Advantage, 2d20kh1|Disadvantage, 2d20kl1} + @{meleetohit2} ]]

[[ 1d4 ]] + 0 ]] The above errors out completely in Roll20, doing nothing.

That outputs:  !power {{--name|Dagger --tokenid|-KJbZG6tVUMAc6O5fSDD--bgcolor|red--leftsub|Action--rightsub|Melee--Dagger Attack|25 vs an orc eye of Grummsh's 16 AC--?? $Atk1.base == 1 OR $Atk1.total <16 ??

You have an empty space in front of !power. It's a problem when copying stuff from the forums.

Bah - couldn't see it.  That allowed the script to run, but only the first couple lines of it.  Nothing from damages onward calculates.  Is there a hard limit for a number of simultaneous calculations that can be done in one script?

Your roll ID's don't match.

Ah, beautiful.  Working flawlessly now under all conditions.  Thanks to the both of you. :) For anyone else that is interested, the final code is as follows: !power {{ --name|@{meleeweaponname1}  --tokenid|@{selected|token_id} --bgcolor|red --leftsub|Action --rightsub|Melee --@{meleeweaponname1} Attack|[[ [$Atk1] ?{Roll|Normal, 1d20|Advantage, 2d20kh1|Disadvantage, 2d20kl1} + @{meleetohit1} ]] vs @{target|token_name}'s [[@{target|bar2}]] AC --?? $Atk1.base == 1 OR $Atk1.total < [[@{target|bar2}]] ??

I'm surprised the emote conditionals work. I don't remember fixing/adding that in, lol.

Yeah, I've been using them for some time now.  They're pretty great for flavoring up the fight scenes.  I've only got seven descriptions (head, neck, chest, arms, groin, legs, feet) for each of the four basic damage types (bludgeoning, slashing, piercing, ranged) for each of the four attacks (miss, hit, critical, kill), but it's enough to keep things different round to round and action to action, especially since my players are big into RP meat.

Genius? More like madness.

Tomato, Toma-h-to

Ok, new problem again.  The following script works perfectly for all methods of hitting EXCEPT criticals.  Any suggestions? !power {{ --name|@{meleeweaponname1}  --tokenid|@{selected|token_id} --bgcolor|red --leftsub|Action --rightsub|Melee --@{meleeweaponname1} Attack|[[ [$Atk1] ?{Roll|Normal, 1d20r<2|Advantage, 2d20kh1r<2|Disadvantage, 2d20kl1r<2} + @{meleetohit1} ]] vs @{target|token_name}'s [[@{target|bar2}]] AC --?? $Atk1.base == 1 OR $Atk1.total < [[@{target|bar2}]] ??

Also note, I can roll the table manually, as well as through a direct chat input of /r 1t[Slashing Critical]

You can't do math with conditionals. $Dmg1.total + $Dmg2.total Tried to implement that once and it was very very api crash prone.

Then why do the kills work on the line below?

My guess is that it is simply looking at Dmg1.total and ignoring everything else. I don't know without actually running a macro like that and logging results in the api console.

Jesus... I've never had to anti-math a problem before.  That tested my brain-skills a bit, but I got it to work dangit!

Allright.  I know I'm way beyond the anticipated scope of your PowerCards at this point, but I want to create the ultimate attack script, universally applicable to all of my (or your) players.  Does anything stand out to you as to why this stalls after prompting me for the appropriate weapon selection and advantage/disadvantage: !power {{ --name|[[ [$WeaponName] ?{Weapon|@{meleeweaponname1},@{meleeweaponname1}|@{meleeweaponname2},@{meleeweaponname2}|@{meleeweaponname3},@{meleeweaponname3}|@{meleeweaponname4},@{meleeweaponname4}|@{meleeweaponname5},@{meleeweaponname5}|@{meleeweaponname6},@{meleeweaponname6}}} ]] --tokenid|@{selected|token_id} --?? @{selected|token_name} == Arah ?? bgcolor|blue --?? @{selected|token_name} == Bo ?? bgcolor|blue --?? @{selected|token_name} == Theodora ?? bgcolor|red --?? @{selected|token_name} == Lo'Kag ?? bgcolor|red --?? @{selected|token_name} == Bodhi ?? bgcolor|black --?? @{selected|token_name} == Martyn ?? bgcolor|orange --leftsub|Action --rightsub|Melee --?? $WeaponName == @{meleeweaponname1} ?? @{meleeweaponname1} Attack|[[ [$Atk1] ?{Roll|Normal, 1d20r<2|Advantage, 2d20kh1r<2|Disadvantage, 2d20kl1r<2} + @{meleetohit1} ]] vs @{target|token_name}'s [[@{target|bar2}]] AC --?? $WeaponName == @{meleeweaponname1} AND $Atk1.base == 1 OR $Atk1.total < [[@{target|bar2}]] ??

I know the $DmgType portion works, because I've tested it independently from the upper portion.  The color selector doesn't function as written, and i've removed it til I get it functioning, but the overall code still stalls at the same spot

After snipping bits of the code apart and trying different stuff, it looks like $WeaponName is causing it to hang, but from what I've done with other scripts, this should be working...

Something like [[ [$DmgType] Slashing ]] is an invalid inline roll; you'll have to tailor your approach.

Is that because it's a string and not an integer?

Patrick said: Is that because it's a string and not an integer? Yeah, that's not a valid inline roll in Roll20. Doesn't have anything to do with Powercards. Roll20 simply doesn't recognize that roll.

Inline Dice Rolls will only accept numbers, inline labels (which Roll IDs make use of), and any other operators/functions used by Roll20 .

So how would you go about assigning a string to a variable?

Not possible.

Blasphemy!

Instead of this  power {{ --name|[[ [$WeaponName] ?{Weapon|@{meleeweaponname1},@{meleeweaponname1}|@{meleeweaponname2},@{meleeweaponname2}|@{meleeweaponname3},@{meleeweaponname3}|@{meleeweaponname4},@{meleeweaponname4}|@{meleeweaponname5},@{meleeweaponname5}|@{meleeweaponname6},@{meleeweaponname6}}} ]] --tokenid|@{selected|token_id} --?? @{selected|token_name} == Arah ?? bgcolor|blue --?? @{selected|token_name} == Bo ?? bgcolor|blue --?? @{selected|token_name} == Theodora ?? bgcolor|red --?? @{selected|token_name} == Lo'Kag ?? bgcolor|red --?? @{selected|token_name} == Bodhi ?? bgcolor|black --?? @{selected|token_name} == Martyn ?? bgcolor|orange --leftsub|Action --rightsub|Melee --?? $WeaponName == @{meleeweaponname1} ?? @{meleeweaponname1} Attack|[[ [$Atk1] ?{Roll|Normal, 1d20r<2|Advantage, 2d20kh1r<2|Disadvantage, 2d20kl1r<2} + @{meleetohit1} ]] vs @{target|token_name}'s [[@{target|bar2}]] AC --?? $WeaponName == @{meleeweaponname1} AND $Atk1.base == 1 OR $Atk1.total < [[@{target|bar2}]] ??

Ah yes, you could do that. The value of a query can be numerical. Thus... [[ [$DmgType] ?{Dmg Type|Slashing, 1|Piercing, 2} ]] would work.

That's nearly identical to what I did to get around it, but now it's pulling undefined... !power {{ --name|Melee Attack --tokenid|@{selected|token_id} --bgcolor|Green --leftsub|Action --rightsub|Melee --Weapon|[[ [$WeaponName] ?{Weapon|@{meleeweaponname1},[[1]]|@{meleeweaponname2},[[2]]|@{meleeweaponname3},[[3]]|@{meleeweaponname4},[[4]]|@{meleeweaponname5},[[5]]|@{meleeweaponname6},[[6]]}]] -snipped the rest- }} Using the inquiry in the name field resulted in the title being undefined, so I just made it a generic Melee Attack instead, and placed the specifics in the PC.  The problem is, when I run this: ?{Weapon|@{meleeweaponname1},[[1]]|@{meleeweaponname2},[[2]]|@{meleeweaponname3},[[3]]|@{meleeweaponname4},[[4]]|@{meleeweaponname5},[[5]]|@{meleeweaponname6},[[6]]} in a character sheet macro, it produces the expected number just fine, one through six.  The issue is when I add the variable name to it in this format: [[ [$WeaponName] ?{Weapon|@{meleeweaponname1},[[1]]|@{meleeweaponname2},[[2]]|@{meleeweaponname3},[[3]]|@{meleeweaponname4},[[4]]|@{meleeweaponname5},[[5]]|@{meleeweaponname6},[[6]]}]] it results in a TypeError: Cannot read property 'substring' of undefined error, and therefore won't move on to the next line.  I have no idea what's up with it, heh.

When I dont have 1 through six in brackets, it pulls nothing, so I assume it's trying to pull a string number in that case

Simplifying it down to the bare minimum, like this: !power {{ --name|Melee Attack --tokenid|@{selected|token_id} --bgcolor|Green --leftsub|Action --rightsub|Melee --Weapon|[[ [$WeaponName] ?{Weapon|@{meleeweaponname1},[[1]]|@{meleeweaponname2},[[2]]|@{meleeweaponname3},[[3]]|@{meleeweaponname4},[[4]]|@{meleeweaponname5},[[5]]|@{meleeweaponname6},[[6]]}]] --WeaponName|$WeaponName }} does nothing.  No API error, no chat error, just kills it.

Also Sylverlokk, I attempted your method to no avail... !power {{ --name|Melee Attack --tokenid|@{selected|token_id} --bgcolor|Green --leftsub|Action --rightsub|Melee --Weapontest|[[ [$WeaponName] ?{@{meleeweaponname?{Number|1,1|2,2|3,3|4,4|5,5|6,6}} ]] --WeaponName|[[ $WeaponName ]] }} Results in: No attribute was found for @{selected|meleeweaponname?{Number}

Adding +0d0 to the end of the inline roll is a typical way to work around this. Patrick said: --WeaponName|$WeaponName Recall a $RollID outside of a conditional using [^RollID]

I thought [[ 20 - @{extendedcrit} ]] wouldn't work within the conditional.

Patrick said: I thought [[ 20 - @{extendedcrit} ]] wouldn't work within the conditional. I haven't tested this particular macro, but if @{extendedcrit} is just a number (0 or 1 it seems?), it should work fine. Inline rolls seem to usually work within conditionals.
