[Macro Help] Calling Attributes w/ Queries

Basically I've got some created Attributes (Att1, Att2, Att3...) and I am looking to build a single Roll Query to bring each up. EDIT: I realise it should be "@" not "%", but anyway... So the logic would run: [Start Macro] Which Attribute Do you Want? [Drop Down] [Run Attribute from Drop Down]. ?{Which Attribute?|Att1, %{Att1}|Att2,%{Att2}|...} is the basic form, but I need to do the HTML substitutions into it right? HTML Substituted: ?{Which Attribute?|Att1.%{Att1}|Att2, %{Att2}|...} Is that looking right to people?

Andrew said: I need to do the HTML substitutions into it right? Not on [Attribute] calls. Check out: Advanced Usage for Roll Queries ?{Which Attribute?|Att1, @{Att1}|Att2,@{Att2}|...} If this doesn't work, check out: Roll Query Troubleshooting

Thanks. Just hate faffing around in a Macro feeling like I'm just creating as many bugs as I might 'solve'.

So, I tried it just then, and it spat back basically stupid stuff. 1) It didn't give me a drop-down, but a long text box 2) When I hit Submit, it repeated the Macro Code, and then told me errors about expecting certain symbols and things after executing one of the Attributes.

What are the values of the Attribute calls @{Att1} and @{Att2}? If you're not testing them from an Ability, did you provide these Attribute calls with keywords? (e.g. selected)

They're D&D3.5E Templated Rolls For example: @{Att1} is &{template:DnD35StdRoll} {{name=@{selected|token_name} }} {{skillcatflag=true}} {{check=Balance check:}} {{checkroll= [[ 1d20 +8+[[@{selected|npcdex-mod}]]+ ?{Modifiers:|0} ]] }} If I just make the Ability call the Attribute directly (i.e. Ability1 = @{Attribute 1}) then it works fine, but setting up a Query to filter the Attributes doesn't work.

Andrew said: &{template:DnD35StdRoll} {{name=@{selected|token_name} }} {{skillcatflag=true}} {{check=Balance check:}} {{checkroll= [[ 1d20 +8+[[@{selected|npcdex-mod}]]+ ?{Modifiers:|0} ]] }} This is an example of a value that needs to be subject to character replacements, as stated by Roll Query Troubleshooting . If you run into difficulty with the character replacements, feel free to use these tips to help post your progress to the forum.

Aaaaah so the replacement needs to happen in the Called Stuff rather than in the thing doing the call!

Now I'm getting stranger behaviour... The rolls appear in the Templates appear in the Chat Log but don't appear in the Chat Box. Can a Mod/Tech take a look?&nbsp;<a href="https://app.roll20.net/editor/setcampaign/1606869" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/editor/setcampaign/1606869</a>

Andrew, I have a set of all-in-one macros which work with the 3.5 sheet in my collected spells document ( here ). Basically for those, I substituted the various macros into the query and made the appropriate html character replacements.&nbsp; Which reminds me, I need to update some of them for the additional note fields I've since added to the sheet. :) You can also use buttons to give you a menu in chat to call the buttons like: /w @{selected|character_name} &{template:DnD35StdRoll} {{ name = Skill List }} {{ [Appraise](~selected|appraisecheck) = [Balance](~selected|balancecheck) }} {{ [Bluff](~selected|bluffcheck) = [Climb](~selected|climbcheck) }} {{ [Concentration](~selected|concentrationcheck) = [Craft (@{selected|craft1name})](~selected|craft1check) }} {{ [Craft (@{selected|craft2name})](~selected|craft2check) = [Craft (@{selected|craft3name})](~selected|craft3check) }} {{ [Decipher Script](~selected|decipherscriptcheck) = [Diplomacy](~selected|diplomacycheck) }} {{ [Disable Device](~selected|disabledevicecheck) = [Disguise](~selected|disguisecheck) }} {{ [Escape Artist](~selected|escapeartistcheck) = [Forgery](~selected|forgerycheck) }} {{ [Gather Information](~selected|gatherinformationcheck) = [Handle Animal](~selected|handleanimalcheck) }} {{ [Heal](~selected|healcheck) = [Hide](~selected|hidecheck) }} {{ [Intimidate](~selected|intimidatecheck) = [jump](~selected|jumpcheck) }} {{ [Knowledge (Arcana)](~selected|knowarcanacheck) = [Knowledge (Engineering)](~selected|knowengineercheck) }} {{ [Knowledge (Dungeoneering)](~selected|knowdungeoncheck) = [Knowledge (Geography)](~selected|knowgeographycheck) }} {{ [Knowledge (History)](~selected|knowhistorycheck) = [Knowledge (Local)](~selected|knowlocalcheck) }} {{ [Knowledge (Nature)](~selected|knownaturecheck) = [Knowledge (Nobility)](~selected|knownobilitycheck) }} {{ [Knowledge (Religion)](~selected|knowreligioncheck) = [Knowledge (the Planes)](~selected|knowplanescheck) }} {{ [Listen](~selected|listencheck) = [Move Silently](~selected|movesilentcheck) }} {{ [Open Lock](~selected|openlockcheck) = [Perform (@{selected|perform1name})](~selected|perform1check) }} {{ [Perform (@{selected|perform2name})](~selected|perform2check) = [Perform (@{selected|perform3name})](~selected|perform3check) }} {{ [Profession (@{selected|profession1name})](~selected|profession1check) = [Profession (@{selected|profession2name})](~selected|profession2check) }} {{ [Profession (@{selected|profession3name})](~selected|profession3check) = [Ride](~selected|ridecheck) }} {{ [Search](~selected|searchcheck) = [Sense Motive](~selected|sensemotivecheck) }} {{ [Sleight of Hand](~selected|sleightofhandcheck) = [Spellcraft](~selected|spellcraftcheck) }} {{ [Spot](~selected|spotcheck) = [Survival](~selected|survivalcheck) }} {{ [Swim](~selected|swimcheck) = [Tumble](~selected|tumblecheck) }} {{ [Use Magic Device](~selected|usemagicdevicecheck) = [Use Rope](~selected|useropecheck) }} this macro is also in the document. You are more than welcome to use any of these. Clearing the chat log (from the campaign setting page; not the in-game one) might fix the roll/template issue (or at least it tends to do so for me when I break things) but make sure you save anything you might need before you do so.

So from looking at it Diana, yours makes a big table of the skills which can then be run from the table. I was hoping to have the filtering happen in a Drop Down. Mostly because there are no real skill options on an NPC/Monster. It means I can't then for instance have a Leopard make a Jump Check as the GM. I am adding them in as Attributes and hoping to call them from a single Token Ability. Click Panther, click Skill Check Macro, choose Skill from list, Output Skill Check in Template form Thank you for access to that working file too.

Andrew, I have a set of all-in-one macros which work with the 3.5 sheet in my collected spells document ( here ). Basically for those, I substituted the various macros into the query and made the appropriate html character replacements. Here's a link to Diana's dropdown Roll Query macro for skills.

I was looking at the wrong section mostly, and I see the core error was calling the templates instead of calling the contents of the templates. with that realisation I should have far fewer struggles.
