Calling API function from macro

Am I correct in stating that a macro cannot call an API function? Thanks.

I haven't tested it, but I don't see why it shouldn't be able to. Generally API functions that are 'called' are called through chat (with the !<blah> message). Since macros can use chat I would imagine they could call API functions.

I didn't think about echoing out !functionName(); Thanks Well I tried DavoutConditions.test = function (){ sendChat("API", "/w gm EXECUTED"); }; with the macro being: !DavoutConditions.test(); and I get {"who":"error","type":"error","content":"Unable to find a player or character with name: undefined"} in the log.

You can totally put an api chat command into a macro. I use them all the time. For example, I have a macro to add temp hp to selected tokens, one to check temp hp on tokens, and another to equip various weapons in attributes on character sheets. !addthp ?{Temp HP to Add|0} !chkthp !equip Dagger | 0 | 1d4 | piercing | MH I just put those commands in macros and they work great.

You can't call a function directly. You can create an API command which can be called from the macro (use on('chat:message', function(msg) {...}); to process the API command).

You can, but only as a direct link to the function. This is useful for single function scripts (like and end or turn, or auto initiative script) where you just want to click a button instead of typing the entire chat cue. Just make the body of the macro !command and let the script do it's thing.

Thanks guys.

Sorry, i just subscribed a mentor account, and i don't understand how to code an api call from a macro. Can you give an exemple ? I tried : macro : !test1 Api script named "test1" : log("ok"); => log is written at start, but not for a clic on the macro button. same with Api script : function test1(){ log("ok"); } => i think i misunderstood something. Can you help me ?

You need to create an intermediary. The chat cannot call a function directly. You need to write a wrapper that intercepts the chat message and then - if it contains your command - IT calls your function. Here's an example of a simple chat parser that calls a function. In this case, the user would select some tokens, then type !InfoDump in the chat. (or make a macro that does the same thing) var L47FC = L47FC || {}; L47FC.DumpTokenInfo= function (token) { log(token.get("name") + ": " + token.get("statusmarkers") + " location: " + token.get("left")/70 + ", " + token.get("top")/70 + " : " + token.get("width")/70 + ", " + token.get("height")/70); } on("chat:message", function(msg) { if (msg.type == "api" && msg.content.indexOf("!InfoDump") !== -1 && msg.who.indexOf("(GM)") !== -1) { log("InfoDump: " + msg); _.each(msg.selected, function(objInfo) { var obj = getObj(objInfo._type, objInfo._id); if( obj.get("_type") == "graphic" ){ if( obj.get("_subtype") == "token" ){ L47FC.DumpTokenInfo(obj); } } }); } });
