Inconsistant output with Roll Templates and SheetWorkers

I have run into an issue roll template hiding the roll for some rolls and expanding other rolls. I am using a sheet worker script to set up attack rolls because I want to eventually create multi attack scripts.  I am not showing the whole code because its not relevant. The sheet worker code is: var critHit = parseInt(v[prefix+"_crit-target"])||0, critFail = parseInt(v[prefix+"_fail-target"])||0; var rDMod = parseFloat(v["DMG_ranged-mod"],10) || 0, rDMod2 = parseFloat(v["DMG_ranged2-mod"],10) || 0; var mDMod = parseFloat(v["DMG-mod"],10) || 0, mDMod2 = parseFloat(v["DMG2-mod"],10) || 0 if (atkType === "0") {attackType="None", buff_DMG_mod=0;} else if (atkType === "attk-melee") {atkRoll="[[ 1d20cf<"+critFail+"cs>"+critHit+" + @{attk-melee} ]]", attackType="Melee", buff_DMG_mod=mDMod;} else if (atkType === "attk-melee2") {atkRoll="[[ 1d20cf<"+critFail+"cs>"+critHit+" + @{attk-melee2} ]]", attackType="Melee2", buff_DMG_mod=mDMod2;} else if (atkType === "attk-ranged") {atkRoll="[[ 1d20cf<"+critFail+"cs>"+critHit+" + @{attk-ranged} ]]", attackType="Ranged", buff_DMG_mod=rDMod;} else if (atkType === "attk-ranged2") {atkRoll="[[ 1d20cf<"+critFail+"cs>"+critHit+" + @{attk-ranged2} ]]", attackType="Ranged2", buff_DMG_mod=rDMod2;} else if (atkType === "CMB") {atkRoll="[[ 1d20cf<"+critFail+"cs>"+critHit+" + @{attk-CMB} ]]", attackType="CMB";} else if (atkType === "CMB2") {atkRoll="[[ 1d20cf<"+critFail+"cs>"+critHit+" + @{attk-CMB2} ]]", attackType="CMB2";} console.log("ABILITY: Attack Type: " +attackType+ " || Attack Roll " +atkRoll+ " Bonus Damage: " +buff_DMG_mod+ "."); the atkRoll variable sets an attribute @{attackRoll}  When I use that in a roll template sometimes the roll is displayed as text other times its an expanded roll.  I wouldn't care except if it is just text then there is no point to having any of the FAIL/CRIT.  Because, obviously there is no color distinction. The roll template code is: &{template:35Adv_spell} @{abilOptions} {{name=@{name}}} {{ability_type=@{ability_type}}} {{frequency=@{useDisplay}}} {{school=@{cust-category}}} {{level=@{class-name} @{spell_level}}} {{metamagic=NONE}} {{casting_time=NONE}} {{range=@{rangeDisplay}}} {{target=@{targets}}} {{duration=@{duration}}} {{sr=[[1d20+@{casterlevel}]]}} {{vsSR=@{abil-sr}}} {{saving_throw1=@{save} [[@{savedc}]]}} {{saving_throw2=@{save2} [[@{savedc}]]}} {{extra_details=@{short-description} }} {{spell_description=@{description}}} {{spell_chk=[[{1d100}>@{spell-fail}]] }} {{succeedcheck=You are able to cast!}} {{failcheck= You Fail casting spell!}} {{spl_damage=**Damage:** @{damage-macro-text}}} {{spl_attack=@{attackRoll} / @{attackRoll} / @{attackRoll} / @{attackRoll} }} {{Concentration=[[ [[1d20]]+[[@{Concentration-Mod}]] ]]}} {{conc_def=+[[@{Concentration-0-defensive}]]}} and this is what it looks like: What is causing this problem, and how can I resolve it.

We need to seethe actual html code for the roll template, not the macro code.

Here is the html code for the roll template: <rolltemplate class="sheet-rolltemplate-35Adv_spell"><!-- Advanced Spell Roll Template -->     <div class="sheet-wrapper"> <div class="sheet-border"> <table> <tr><th>{{name}} {{#ability_type}}{{ability_type}}{{/ability_type}}</th>{{#infolink}}<th class="sheet-info">[i]({{infolink}})</th>{{/infolink}}</tr> {{#rollTotal() show-frequency 1}}<tr><td><span>{{frequency}}</span></td></tr>{{/rollTotal() show-frequency 1}} <!-- {{#spl_attack}}{{#show-attack1}} <tr><td><span class="tcat">on </span>{{spell_target}}</td></tr> <tr class="arrow-container"><td><div class="arrow-left"></div></td></tr> {{/show-attack1}}{{/spl_attack}} --> {{#school}}{{#rollTotal() show-school 1}}<tr><td><span class="tcat">School </span>{{school}} {{subschool}}</tr></td>{{/rollTotal() show-school 1}}{{/school}} {{#class}}<tr><td><span class="tcat">Class </span>{{class}}</tr></td>{{/class}}<!-- Used for Class Abilities --> {{#rollTotal() show-level 1}}<tr><td>{{#level}}<span class="tcat">Level </span>{{level}}{{/level}} {{#rollTotal() show-metamagic 1}} {{metamagic}} {{/rollTotal() show-metamagic 1}}</td></tr>{{/rollTotal() show-level 1}} {{#psi_discipline}}<tr><td><span class="tcat">Disc </span>{{psi_discipline}};

Did I not give the information you were looking for?

No, you did, just been away from my comp for most of the weekend. Throw this snippet into your API scripts: on('chat:message',(msg)=>{ log(msg.content); });

Scott C. said: No, you did, just been away from my comp for most of the weekend. Throw this snippet into your API scripts: on('chat:message',(msg)=>{ log(msg.content); }); Where?  I've posted that exactly as typed right after the section that has my ABILITY code and it has no effect, I tried posting that right under the code snippet and it had no effect?  What was it supposed to do exactly?

Throw this snippet into your API scripts : It'll log what the macro is sending to chat to see what is going on.

Okay here is what I get:   {{spl_attack=27}} This uses: {{spl_attack=@{attackRoll} }} in the macro code " {{show-school=$[[0]]}} {{show-frequency={{show-frequency=$[[1]]}}}} {{show-concentration=$[[2]]}} {{show-level=$[[3]]}} {{show-castingtime=$[[4]]}} {{show-range=$[[5]]}} {{show-target=$[[6]]}} {{show-duration=$[[7]]}} {{show-save1=$[[8]]}} {{show-save2={{show-save2=$[[9]]}}}} {{show-sr={{show-sr=$[[10]]}}}} {{show-spelldescription=$[[11]]}} {{show-spellfail=$[[12]]}} {{show-attack1={{show-attack1=$[[13]]}}}} {{show-damage1=$[[14]]}} {{name=Test Ability}} {{ability_type=Sp}} {{frequency=2/2/month}} {{school=}} {{level=Druid 4}} {{metamagic=NONE}} {{casting_time=NONE}} {{range=Touch}} {{target=}} {{duration=}} {{sr=$[[15]]}} {{vsSR=No}} {{saving_throw1= $[[16]]}} {{saving_throw2= $[[17]]}} {{extra_details=short desc }} {{spell_description=$[[18]]+16}} {{spell_chk=$[[19]] }} {{succeedcheck=You are able to cast!}} {{failcheck= You Fail casting spell!}} {{spl_damage=**Damage:** $[[24]]}} {{spl_attack=27}} {{Concentration=27}} {{conc_def=+$[[25]]}}" If I have this in the macro code: {{spl_attack=@{attackRoll}@{attackRoll}@{attackRoll} }} I get this:  {{spl_attack=1633$[[25]] }} " {{show-school=$[[0]]}} {{show-frequency={{show-frequency=$[[1]]}}}} {{show-concentration=$[[2]]}} {{show-level=$[[3]]}} {{show-castingtime=$[[4]]}} {{show-range=$[[5]]}} {{show-target=$[[6]]}} {{show-duration=$[[7]]}} {{show-save1=$[[8]]}} {{show-save2={{show-save2=$[[9]]}}}} {{show-sr={{show-sr=$[[10]]}}}} {{show-spelldescription=$[[11]]}} {{show-spellfail=$[[12]]}} {{show-attack1={{show-attack1=$[[13]]}}}} {{show-damage1=$[[14]]}} {{name=Test Ability}} {{ability_type=Sp}} {{frequency=2/2/month}} {{school=}} {{level=Druid 4}} {{metamagic=NONE}} {{casting_time=NONE}} {{range=Touch}} {{target=}} {{duration=}} {{sr=$[[15]]}} {{vsSR=No}} {{saving_throw1= $[[16]]}} {{saving_throw2= $[[17]]}} {{extra_details=short desc }} {{spell_description=$[[18]]+16}} {{spell_chk=$[[19]] }} {{succeedcheck=You are able to cast!}} {{failcheck= You Fail casting spell!}} {{spl_damage=**Damage:** $[[24]]}} {{spl_attack=1633$[[25]] }} {{Concentration=$[[26]]}} {{conc_def=+$[[27]]}}" So, you can see that duplicating the rolls three times produces two consecutive incorrect displays and the final one displays on screen with all of the colors and whatever nonsense that shows the code, as desired.

Hmm, I'd try seeing what happens if you manually do the macro you are doing, minus the roll template stuff. The issue isn't your roll template. It's something about how you've got the attack macro set up.

I've already tested that.  It works just fine when I put the roll @{attackRoll} inside of the Description field of the attack.

Hmm, I've got no clue then.

If you get different things when putting @{attackroll} one after the other then there might be either mismatched brackets, or maybe in the attackroll you end up with a  "}}" somewhere which looks ok when you send it straight to chat, but inside a rolltemplate might cut off the section too early.

I'm not really sure how to determine this beyond trial and error that I have already used.
