Help! Want a script for adding intiative rolls to the turn tracker w/o a token

Hey all, I've dug around a bit and I've seen people mention it's possible, but does anyone have an example of a script or can help me work up a basic script that would listen for roll in the chat and send that roll and the character name to the turn tracker without requiring a token?  I run a lot of tokenless games and having to require a token just adds something unnecessary for me to have to mess with when I just don't want to have to manually add rolled initiatives to the tracker. This is all I need a script to do however I have no experience with the API and my coding on this level is very rusty. I did look through the documentation but didn't see anything that covered the turn tracker specifically, though I could have missed it. Anything that could point me in the right direction, such as the right documentation pages or an example from an existing API script would be incredibly appreciated.

Something like this work for you?&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3110797/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3110797/slug%7D</a>

It assumes there is a stat named init that contains the bonus to add, btw.

Thanks for the quick response. So I copied that script over and tried running it.&nbsp; It just keeps outputting "looking for token for" when I call it.&nbsp; The only thing I changed was the init stat to what my campaign is using with is a stat called speed.

do you have a token representing that character on the page that has the player ribbon?

I do not, as I'm aiming for this being token-less. I tried adding a token however just to test and it still gave me the same issue.&nbsp;

AH!&nbsp;&nbsp; Try this then: !act 0 [[1d20+@{character|stat}]] --@{character|name} Script: on('ready',function(){ &nbsp; &nbsp; "use strict"; &nbsp; &nbsp; const checkFormulaOnTurn = () =&gt; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; let to=JSON.parse(Campaign().get('turnorder')||'[]'); &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; if(to.length && to[0].id==='-1'){ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; sendChat('',`[[${to[0].pr}+(${to[0].formula||0})]]`,(r)=&gt;{ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; to[0].pr=r[0].inlinerolls[0].results.total; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Campaign().set('turnorder',JSON.stringify(to)); &nbsp;

hmm.. try:&nbsp; !act 0 [[1d20+@{character|stat}]] --@{character|character_name}

Still getting an error SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input at JSON.parse (&lt;anonymous&gt;) at apiscript.js:257:33 at eval (eval at &lt;anonymous&gt; (/home/node/d20-api-server/api-dev.js:146:1), &lt;anonymous&gt;:65:16) at Object.publish (eval at &lt;anonymous&gt; (/home/node/d20-api-server/api-dev.js:146:1), &lt;anonymous&gt;:70:8) at /home/node/d20-api-server/api-dev.js:1510:12 at /home/node/d20-api-server/node_modules/firebase/lib/firebase-node.js:93:560 at hc (/home/node/d20-api-server/node_modules/firebase/lib/firebase-node.js:39:147) at Kd (/home/node/d20-api-server/node_modules/firebase/lib/firebase-node.js:93:546) at Id.Mb (/home/node/d20-api-server/node_modules/firebase/lib/firebase-node.js:93:489) at Zd.Ld.Mb (/home/node/d20-api-server/node_modules/firebase/lib/firebase-node.js:94:425)

Found a script that handles this the way I was aiming for! <a href="https://github.com/NinhDo/Roll20/blob/master/InitiativeWithoutTokens.js" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/NinhDo/Roll20/blob/master/InitiativeWithoutTokens.js</a>

Great!

Thanks for all your help The Aaron !
