[Earthdawn] Tracker and GM only rolls with nested Macro

I've put together a great macro for Earthdawn 4E and it's complicated Step System. I'm now trying to add Turn Tracker and GM Only functionality to the options.  I've tried merging it with a few API scripts, but they don't seem to work well together.

In order for any of us to give suggestions, we'll need the macro that you are using in both it's functioning form and what you've tried to do to add the functionality you need. In regards to the API scripts, which scripts have you tried, and what functionality are you hoping the API can provide?

Sure thing. I stared with this  Step Array script that Aaron put together.  It has a GM only function to it, but didn't allow me to play with templates or add the Karma function. I recently tried the  Blind Roll API script.   Nested Macro (Prompts for Talent Name, Step Number, Number of Karma used, and Strain spent.  Using the Ammo API to deduct Karma used and Strain damage taken) &{template:default} {{name=?{Talent Used}}} {{Step [[ ?{Step|9} ]] + [[ ?{Karma #|0} ]] Karma }} {{#TalentX-MultiKarma }} !ammo @{character_id} Karma -?{Karma #} !ammo @{character_id} Uncon ?{Strain #|0} TalentX-MultiKarma (macro nested above) Result [[ [[ {?{Step}+d0}>14 + {?{Step}+d0}>36 ]]d20! + [[ {?{Step}+d0}=7 + {?{Step}+d0}=13 + {?{Step}+d0}=18 + {?{Step}+d0}=24 + {?{Step}+d0}=29 + {?{Step}+d0}=35 + {?{Step}+d0}=40 ]]d12! + [[ {?{Step}+d0}=6 + {?{Step}+d0}=10 + {?{Step}+d0}=11 + {?{Step}+d0,?{Step}+d0}=12 + {?{Step}+d0}=13 + {?{Step}+d0}=17 + {?{Step}+d0}>21 + {?{Step}+d0}=23 + {?{Step}+d0}=28 + {?{Step}+d0}=32 + {?{Step}+d0}=33 + {?{Step}+d0,?{Step}+d0}=34 + {?{Step}+d0}=35 + {?{Step}+d0}=39 ]]d10! + [[ {?{Step}+d0}=5 + {?{Step}+d0}=9 + {?{Step}+d0}=11 + {?{Step}+d0}=16 + {?{Step}+d0}=20 + {?{Step}+d0}=22 + {?{Step}+d0}>25 + {?{Step}+d0}=27 + {?{Step}+d0}=31 + {?{Step}+d0}=33 + {?{Step}+d0}=38 ]]d8! + [[ {?{Step}+d0}=4 + {?{Step}+d0,?{Step}+d0}=8 + {?{Step}+d0}=9 + {?{Step}+d0}=10 + {?{Step}+d0}=15 + {?{Step}+d0,?{Step}+d0}=19 + {?{Step}+d0}=20 + {?{Step}+d0}=21 + {?{Step}+d0}=26 + {?{Step}+d0,?{Step}+d0}=30 + {?{Step}+d0}=31 + {?{Step}+d0}=32 + {?{Step}+d0}=37 ]]d6! + [[ {?{Step}+d0}<3 + {?{Step}+d0}=14 + {?{Step}+d0}=25 + {?{Step}+d0}=36 ]]d4! - [[ {?{Step}+d0}<2 * (3 - ?{Step}) ]] + ?{Karma #}d6!]]

Thanks for both versions.  It will take a while for my PC's to get that high, but it looks like you streamlined the process as well. Edit: Actually, there was one time when enough successes were rolled that the damage Step got pretty high...

PowerCards can perform "blind rolls" via --whisper|gm and uses its own [TRKR] functionality in place of &{tracker} .

Wow... That looks... complex. It also looks like it's designed for D&D 4E.  Is it modifiable for other systems?

Like Roll20, PowerCards is system-agnostic. !power {{ --whisper|GM --charid|@{character_id} --name|?{Talent Used} --Step|[[ ?{Step|9} ]] + [[ ?{Karma #|0} ]] Karma --Result|[[ [TRKR] [[{1e3, 14}<[[(?{Step}) % 22]] + floor((?{Step}) / 22)]]d20! + [[{0, 1, 1, 2, 6, 10}=[[(?{Step}) % 11]] - {-1, 1}>[[?{Step}]] + floor((?{Step} - 3) / 22)]]d10! + [[{0, 5, 9}=[[(?{Step}) % 11]] + {-1, 2}>[[?{Step}]] + floor((?{Step} - 3) / 22)]]d8! + [[{-1, 8}=[[(?{Step}) % 11]] - {0, 1, 5, 6}=[[(?{Step}) % 11]] + {0, 1}=[[?{Step}]] + 1]]d[[4 + 2 * {4, 8, 9, 10}=[[(?{Step}) % 11]] + 8 * ({2, 7}=[[(?{Step}) % 11]] * (1 - {-1, 2}=[[?{Step}]]))]]! - [[{-1, 2}>[[?{Step}]] * (3 - (?{Step}))]] + ?{Karma #}d6! ]] }} !ammo @{character_id} Karma -?{Karma #} !ammo @{character_id} Uncon ?{Strain #|0}

The initial version of PowerCards was designed for D&D 4e, yes, but it has since been expanded to be usable by any system.

I forgot one segment of my macro, which was being handled by my HTML sheet. Nested Macro &{template:default} {{name=?{Talent Used}}} {{Step [[ ?{Step|9 -@{Wounds} } ]] + [[ ?{Karma #|0} ]] Karma, [[ ?{Strain #|0} ]] Strain }} {{#TalentX-MultiKarma }} Power Card Version --Step|[[ ?{Step|@{DexStep} -@{Wounds} } ]] + [[ ?{Karma #|0} ]] Karma, [[ ?{Strain #|0} ]] Strain

For my next trick, I'd like to set up a macro to compare the result of the dice against a Target Number and then figure out how many extra successes are generated for every 5 above the TN.  So with a TN of 10, a 10 = 1 success, 15 = 2, 20=3, etc. I've put together this so far, (an attack against a targets PD stat) but it's not doing the end result properly.  I'd like to see the result number and the number of successes. &{template:default} {{name=Attack}} {{Step [[ ?{Step|9} ]] + [[ ?{Karma #|0} ]] Karma }} {{(#TalentX-MultiKarma - @{target|PD} ) /5}}

Dougansf said: I'd like to see the result number and the number of successes. Short of using an API Script (e.g. PowerCards ), it is not possible to reference the result of dice rolls (e.g. such that the result could be used to calculate the degrees of success). After using your attack macro, you could then use a second macro, like this one , to calculate the degrees of success. e.g. &{template:default} {{name=Attack Result }} {{Rolled=[[ ?{Roll|10} ]] vs. [[ @{target|PD} ]] }} {{Successes=[[ ceil((?{Roll} - @{target|PD} + 0.01) / 5) ]] }}

You've already sold me on Power Cards.  :) What would I have to add there to make this happen?

Ah, right... :) Give this a try: !power {{ --name|Attack --Step|[[ ?{Step|9} ]] + [[ ?{Karma #|0} ]] Karma --Rolled|[! [^Roll] !] vs. [[ @{target|PD} ]] --Successes|[[ ceil(([$Roll] { #TalentX-MultiKarma } - @{target|PD} + 0.01) / 5) ]] }}

You'll then need to either replace the #TalentX-MultiKarma call with [[{1e3, 14}<[[(?{Step}) % 22]] + floor((?{Step}) / 22)]]d20! + [[{0, 1, 1, 2, 6, 10}=[[(?{Step}) % 11]] - {-1, 1}>[[?{Step}]] + floor((?{Step} - 3) / 22)]]d10! + [[{0, 5, 9}=[[(?{Step}) % 11]] + {-1, 2}>[[?{Step}]] + floor((?{Step} - 3) / 22)]]d8! + [[{-1, 8}=[[(?{Step}) % 11]] - {0, 1, 5, 6}=[[(?{Step}) % 11]] + {0, 1}=[[?{Step}]] + 1]]d[[4 + 2 * {4, 8, 9, 10}=[[(?{Step}) % 11]] + 8 * ({2, 7}=[[(?{Step}) % 11]] * (1 - {-1, 2}=[[?{Step}]]))]]! - [[{-1, 2}>[[?{Step}]] * (3 - (?{Step}))]] + ?{Karma #}d6! or make TalentX-MultiKarma precisely this. Likely, the issue is that you have a pair of [[inline roll brackets]] around the above code within TalentX-MultiKarma. If this is the case, you would need to—after making the aforementioned adjustment to #TalentX-MultiKarma—replace all instances of #TalentX-MultiKarma with [[ #TalentX-MultiKarma ]] within all of your other macros.

I don't suppose Power Cards can do adjustments to attributes?   That way I could get rid of Ammo and have one API to rule them all.  ;)
