Community Forums: Help with chat attribution script

1493153362

I'm looking for help with the ChatSetAttr that shows up in the API library. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to modify an attribute by a dice roll rather than a fixed number / calculation. Thanks

Jakob may come by and tell me I'm wrong, but looking at the code, it sure looks like you can. Is it not working for you? What command are you sending?

What are you putting for the roll command?

At a glance, the script is handling inline rolls, so you would want something like !setattr --sel --mod --Strength|[[d8]] instead of !setattr --sel --mod --Strength|d8 .

np, the macro syntax can be a bit arcane. And then each script has its own eccentricities.
