Help Request with rounding down to the nearest whole number - didn't see this in wiki

How can I make this formula round down to the nearest whole number? [[((@{selected|level}+4)/4)]] Thank you! Barry

Try  [[floor((@{selected|level}+4)/4)]]

Thank you Alicia, However when I add a dice roll to it :[[floor((@{selected|level}+4)/4))d8]] with a referenced level of 1, I always get a roll of 2, instead of an expected roll of 1d8 ((1+4)/4= 1 d8) Any suggestions? Barry

Do you get the right values without the d8?

Even when I subtract the d8 from the roll, I continue to receive a "2". Here is the complete macro I am using, is there possibly a conflict? *@{selected|token_name} invokes the name of @{selected|god} while speaking forth a prayer...* /w GM ***and casts SACRED FLAME!! The attack caused [[floor((@{selected|level}+4)/4))d8]] points of RADIANT damage unless a successful DC [[0d0 + 8 + @{selected|PB} [proficiency] + @{selected|wisdom_mod} [wisdom]]] dexterity save is made!!*** !token-mod {{ --set bar3_value|[[ {@{selected|bar3}-.5,0}kh1 ]] --ids @{selected|token_id} }} /fx burn-fire @{target|token_id}

Use [[[[floor((@{selected|level}+4)/4))]]d8]] instead. Adding the extra set of inline brackets makes sure it resolves everything inside of them before attempting to resolve the d8 portion.

That fixed it Franky! Thank you so much!

I tried to replicate your issue just putting in various numbers for @{selectedlevel}. Each time, it's dropping the d8 part of the inline roll. If I take out "floor" so that the roll is just [[((@{selectedlevel} + 4)/4)d8]], then it properly applies the d8 to the inline roll. It looks to me that there is a bug in the inline roller that is preventing math functions from being used in the number of dice for a XdY roll. A minimum example replicating this bug: [[(floor(1))d8]] ^ Always returns 1.

Interesting!  That brings up another point which is dice are always integers, so you don't need the floor function in this case, it will be implicitly truncated to just the integer part if it has a decimal portion.

The Aaron said: That brings up another point which is dice are always integers, so you don't need the floor function in this case, it will be implicitly truncated to just the integer part if it has a decimal portion. Actually, the number of dice is simply rounded as per round(). e.g. /r (1.49)d1 + (1.51)d1 resolves to equal 3

Ah!  So subtract .5 and that should work.
