How to report success / failure vs variable target?

I have what should be a very simple macro. Roll d10, if it is equal or less than the Stat, report success; if over, report failure. I have tried /roll {1d10)<@{Stat} /roll 1d10<(@{Stat}) and other variations, and I keep getting an error. What is wrong with my syntax?

Okay, I figured out one solution and found a new problem. This works: /roll 1d20<@{Stat} It wasn't working before, but i think it was because i hadn't saved changes to the journal and so it wasn't recognising that the stat existed. Now I want to do this: /roll 1d20<(@{Stat}+@{modifier}) and it's not working.

Okay I fixed my errors, I was able to come up with a solution for you but I am not entirely satisfied since I was unable to come up with an inline roll option. You were very close with what you had but you just had a few problems. You should change your macro to look like this /roll {1d20}<[[@{Stat}+@{modifier}]] The location of the braces and the brackets are important. That is the only way I got it working. If some knows a better way or knows of a way to allow it to be used in inline rolls, please post.

Actually that double square brackets trick does work. Thanks! I am finding that when doing a lot of edits of a macro, without clicking the big blue save changes button, sometimes it gets glitchy, not doing the autofill after pressing @ for instance and not recognising variables. But after I saved the sheet and clicked Edit again, it started working.

Another way to do this is to move one of the attributes to the other side of the inequality. Example: /roll {1d20-@{modifier}}<@{stat}

Interesting. I had wondered if you could nest curly brackets. I think the square brackets approach produces clearer output, though.

True, but not everyone wants inline sections in their rolls so I was providing another option. :)

That's a good thing :) I've learned most of what I know about macros from reading your replies to people in so many threads, you are an amazing contributor.
