Turn Order Macro

How would I go about creating a turn order macro for an Anima campaign I'm GMing? I'm interested in trying to create a macro that adds their initiative to the tracker automatically after they roll. It's exhausting having to add my party, and my NPCs to the turn order manually every combat turn. I've checked the forums, wiki and google, but I can't find anything that's been created, mostly 4.0, 5.0, Pathfinder and other systems. I'm not completely sure what the syntax would look like to roll everyone's initiative and add it to the tracker in one click.

This will ask for a modifier, and roll the initiative. Then it will add it to the turn tracker: &{template:default} {{name=@{selected|token_name} ❖ Initiative}} {{[[d20+?{modifier?|0}&{tracker}]]

Removing "❖ Initiative" and "template:default" didn't fix it either. Also, is it not possible to add multiple tokens to the turn tracker using a macro, or adding the players initiative from chat? I can't seem to figure out the second option.

Try: &{template:default} {{name=@{selected|token_name} ❖ Initiative}} {{Initiative=[[d20+?{modifier?|0}&{tracker}]]}} No, you need a token to add an object to the tracker AFAIK. And, there's an API script (Pro) feature that can do multiple tokens at once.
