How do I add the GURPS roll parser API output to a tempate

Ok so far I have with some help managed to get a roll template cobbled together for GURPS character sheet. I am also running the GURPS Roll parser API script. What I want to do is have the API report in the roll template. See code below <rolltemplate> <table> <tr> <th colspan="4">{{name}}</th> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Roll:</b></td><td><span><div></div>{{roll}}</span></td><td>vs: {{target}}</span></td> </tr> </table> </rolltemplate> Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The API can't modify already sent chat messages. What you can do is change your roll parser to parse a message sent via api command and then you would change the sheet to output the rolls like this: !GURPS &{template:GURPStemplatedeclaration} {{Template fields and such}} So, since it's sent as an API command, it never shows up in chat, the script would then add a template field for the success/failure and output the modified message to chat. However, do you really need an API script to determine the success failure of this? I am not familiar with GURPs, but it looks like you're just trying to roll under a target number, perhaps with increased success for being further under it?

I am not familiar with GURPs, but it looks like you're just trying to roll under a target number, perhaps with increased success for being further under it? I believe GURPS has you rolling multiple dice and you're comparing the total  to a target number, rather than comparing each die to the target.

I think everyone is missing the point of the question. The API sends to chat "Success by 10" How do I get that success chat message into the rolltemplate?

See my post above: Scott C. said: The API can't modify already sent chat messages. What you can do is change your roll parser to parse a message sent via api command and then you would change the sheet to output the rolls like this: !GURPS &{template:GURPStemplatedeclaration} {{Template fields and such}} So, since it's sent as an API command, it never shows up in chat, the script would then add a template field for the success/failure and output the modified message to chat. So, put another way, you would have to have the entire message sent from the API for the API's calculation of success to be included in the roll template.

So I would be modifying the json??

No, you'd be modifying the API script, so the javascript code.

the .js file.....that requires more knowledge than I have. Drat

You could post a message in the thread for the GURPS API parser and see if the author would be willing to add the feature. I don't actually know if there is a thread for that script, but if not you could post a thread in the API forum asking if the author or someone else would be willing to modify it. I'd offer to do it, but I'm already swamped between work and my other API projects.

Appreciate the advice...I am going to try to use rolltemplate helpers and see what that can do.
