[Script] getAPL - Average Party Level (APL) and assigning Party Strength for 5e AL Games

getAPL allows a DM to select PC tokens and auto calculate the party APL and strength for Adventure League Games . Commands: !getAPL (target APL 1-20) The Script will kick back your number of players (based off the # of PC tokens selected), current APL, party strength (very weak, weak, average, strong, very strong), and target APL. getAPL Github: &nbsp; <a href="https://github.com/GrumpyOldDM/getAPL" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/GrumpyOldDM/getAPL</a> Raw Script: <a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GrumpyOldDM/getAPL/master/getAPL.js" rel="nofollow">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GrumpyOldDM/getAPL/master/getAPL.js</a>

Nice! You might be interested in this more succinct check for a number from 1-20: _.range(1,21).includes(parseInt(args[1],10)||0);

I added it as well as a fix for no tokens being selected throwing an undefined error&nbsp; to version 1.1

It doesn't, but Underscore.js does, which is what that _ is.&nbsp; Underscore is included in the API, you can read up on it at <a href="http://underscorejs.org" rel="nofollow">http://underscorejs.org</a> . You can do this with Javascript ES6 but it's a bit uglier: Array.from(Array(20), (_,i)=&gt;1+i).includes(parseInt(args[1],10)||0);

This is a nice Underscore to ES6 reference:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reindex.io/blog/you-might-not-need-underscore/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reindex.io/blog/you-might-not-need-underscore/</a>

I'd prefer [...Array(21).keys()].slice(1) which is a bit less ugly.

Ah, good point!&nbsp; Their solution supports a starting number (which I just replaced with the 1 constant for the example).&nbsp; The spread operator is awesome. =D

To be fair, the linked article is a Underscore to ES5 article, so it makes sense that it wouldn't take advantage of spread awesomeness.

Yeah, though performance might make you choose the former method if you're starting at a good sized number. =D

I'd just hide it in a function. =D

You read my mind! =D

It is like seeing two aliens talk, you know they are using words, but it means nothing in english...
