[HELP] Parse dice from !api command...

How can I parse a dice command without sending it to chat and get the result for use in an api script? Fighters in D&D Next have a once per encounter temp hp ability and I would like to be able to script the macro as below so the player only has to click the macro and it will automatically use the !setthp I have working to add temp hp to their selected token. /me uses Second Wind and gains temporary hit points! !setthp 1d6+2

on('chat:message', function(msg) { if(msg.type != 'api') return; var parts = msg.content.toLowerCase().split(' '); var command = parts.shift().substring(1); if(command == 'setthp') { sendChat('', parts[0], function(outs) { // outs[0] is a message object containing the results of the die roll in parts[0] // This sendChat message will NOT appear in the actual chat window }); } });

I cannot figure out how to get this to work...

Using the script above, outs[0] is the same type of object as the msg you're used to using. It contains the message that would have been posted to the chat, but it's sent to the anonymous function instead. I did realize just now that using your example command, you'd need the second parameter in sendChat to be '/r '+parts[0] , so that a roll is actually made.

Ok, so here's what I get when I log(outs); [{"who":"","type":"rollresult","content":"{\"type\":\"V\",\"rolls\":[{\"type\":\"R\",\"dice\":1,\"sides\":6,\"mods\":{},\"results\":[{\"v\":1}]}],\"resultType\":\"sum\",\"total\":1}","playerid":"API","avatar":false,"inlinerolls":{},"origRoll":"1d6"}] How the hell do I get the total out of there?

var rollresult = JSON.parse(outs[0].content); var total = rollresult.total;
