[Question] Auto-calculate number of successes in rolltemplate

Hi! I'm currently working on my first character sheet project here and trying to figure out how rolltemplates work. I'm creating a character sheet for a system where it matters how much a character did fail or not fail when he rolls the dice. Every 3 points the character exceeds or fails to reach to the given difficulty he becomes on step degree better or worse. Obviously the formula is simple: floor(({{difficulty}}-{{skill}})/3). But since rolltemplates seem to be pure HTML I don't see a way to calculate this. Is there any way I can output the calculated degree of success in a rolltemplate? Greetings, Loki

If you do the math inside the roll macro (the "value" of the roll button) and name it, you can use it in the template (for display or eventually basic tests with the  template helper functions ). For example, you could use "myvalue" in the template to show and/or test: <button type="roll" name="MYROLL" value="&{template:mytemplate} {{myroll=[[1d20+@{skill}]]}} {{myvalue=[[floor((@{difficulty}-@{skill})/3)]]}}  " >Roll !</button>

I didn't test your solution, but I'm under the impression, that I may have expressed my problem a little bit unclear. What your solution does is to calculate "myvalue" from "difficulty" and "skill". So far so good. But what I want is that the roll template takes the result of the roll and then calculate something based on the result. I guess the call of the roll template is not able to access the roll result of that given template (because it rolls the dice afterwards). Or is something like this possible? <button type="roll" name="MYROLL" value="&{template:mytemplate} {{ myroll =[[1d20+@{skill}]]}} {{myvalue=[[floor((@{difficulty}-@{ myroll })/3)]]}}  " >Roll !</button> Greetings, Loki

Unfortunately, no, you can't use the result of a single roll in 2 different computations ... at least not without the API. And it can be frustrating ;)

Ok and inside the rolltemplate itself (the html definition) I can generally not compute the roll result "freestyle" (that means outside of the few given functions like check for crit, etc.), right? Would be a pity.

Except for helper functions (which are basically "if superior/inferior/equal/critical/fumble"), no computation at all is possible.

Alright, thanks!
