Helper functions with default template

Cannot get helper functions to work with the default template. The following macro: &{template:default} {{name=Test Attack}} {{attack=[[1d20cs>20]]}} {{#rollWasCrit() attack}} {{confirm=[[1d20]]}} {{/rollWasCrit() attack}} will roll the attack, write '#rollWasCrit() attack', roll the confirm (whatever the result of the 'attack' roll), and then write '^rollWasCrit() attack'. Splitting things into several lines does not improve anything (I believe the default template is meant to be written in a single line). It seems the default template does not interpret properly the symbols '#' and '^'. Any help? Thanks in advance!

None of the roll template functions can actually be used in your macros.  They have to be included within a sheet's HTML. You can only use the {{key=value}} combos in macros...  ;-(

Oh, I understand. Then, only character sheet-related templates can make use of those functions? Is it not possible to have a conditional roll in a macro built using the default template? What about a macro with no template, would it be possible in that case to roll a confirmation only if the attack roll was a critical?

Indeed, all of what you're saying works for character sheet templates only. Though you're a pro subscriber, so you can just make whatever template you want.

All right, thanks for explaining. I will venture into building a template.

I recommend writing PowerCards macros as an alternative to coding a custom Roll Template.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will take a look at them.
