Special Effects in Attacks

&nbsp; I have been trying to implement Special Effects buttons in attack rolls per <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Text_Chat" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Text_Chat</a>, but I find results inconsistent.&nbsp; Some work sometimes and some work partially (an effect, but the wrong one), and some not at all (only macro call echoed in chat).&nbsp; I have tried in both Firefox and Chrome with the same results.&nbsp; Since I have just recently tried this technique, I have no idea how long it may have been an issue.&nbsp; My system setup is: Operating System Windows Windows NT 10.0 Screen Resolution 1366 x 768 Web Browser Firefox 56.0 Browser Size 1366 x 659 IP Address 98.165.55.15 Color Depth 24 Javascript Yes Flash Version 27.0.-1 Cookies Yes User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0 Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

From that link: This section is about a feature exclusive to Pro subscribers, or to players in a Game created by a subscriber. If you'd like to use this feature, consider upgrading your account . I think the only SFX you can use at the free level is burn fire.
No they all work you just can't make custom FX without a pro level subscription. I use this macro to keep track of how it all works. Its the lowercase names are the ones that the FX command use. /fx ?{Type|Beam,beam|Bomb,bomb|Breath,breath|Bubbling,bubbling|Burn,burn|Burst,burst|Explosion,explode|Glow,glow|Missile,missile|Nova,nova|Spatter,splatter}-?{Color|Acid,acid|Blood,blood|Charm,charm|Death,death|Fire,fire|Frost,frost|Holy,holy|Magic,magic|Slime,slime|Smoke,smoke|Water,water} @{target|Source|token_id} @{target|Destination|token_id} Happy rolling
Unfortunately, the latter requires too much for my players to handle.&nbsp; I wanted make it "thoughtless" for them, since they are not likely to think; it is today's culture.
The macro is for you as the DM to use and reference so you understand the nomenclature. Pull it apart and put it together for each spell macro separately as you need. I also find it useful to keep on my macro bar for a quick effects push.
Ed S., I think you have solved it.&nbsp; It is case sensitive and the lower case actually seems to work! Thank you.
