Assessing attributes using nested attributes

1483991875

I was just curious if one could nest attributes inside of a macro for example @{@{character_id}|hp|max} in order to access the character's maximum hp as opposed to hard coding the character's id or name into the @{}.

Should be able to do that, but it might need quite marks around it in case people put spaces and things in the name.

Not really.  You can use @{target} or @{selected} to keep things generic. To be clear, the issue is that @{hp} works fine (in an ability), but @{hp|max} tries to reference the attribute named 'max' on the character named 'hp' ?

you can add this:  ~@{character_id} we use it to create link button in chat: where Fort-Save is a rollbutton. [Fort link button](~@{character_id}|Fort-Save) that way there is only one value to update, and it calls back to the sheet when a user wants the Fort-Save macro.
