[Vampire The Masquerade] Thaumaturgy Macro v2

Hi, how about folks? Beforehand I would like to warn you that I am not fluent in English and I am using certain resources to be able to communicate here, so I will try to expose my doubts very simply so that there are no errors. Some time ago, I created a MACRO of Thaumaturgy with the help of the forum and would like to ask again for this help. This is the original MACRO: &{template:default} {{name= **Thaumaturgy** *Elemental Mastery* ?{Level|Elemental Strength,Elemental Strength}} **@{name}** *got [[@{Willpower}d10>4]] total successes in your test.*|Wooden Tongues,Wooden Tongues }} **@{name}** *got [[@{Willpower}d10>5]] total successes in your test.*|Animate the Unmoving, Animate the Unmoving}} **@{name}** *got [[@{Willpower}d10>6]] total successes in your test.*} She is exceptional, but I wish she had a choice of which thaumaturgical path the character would use. So I made this macro: ?{Path| of Blood, ?{Levels| A Taste For Blood, **@{name}** *got [[@{Willpower}d10>4]] total successes in your test.* | Blood Rage, **@{name}** *got [[@{Willpower}d10>5]] total successes in your test.* | Blood of Potency, **@{name}** *got [[@{Willpower}d10>6]] total successes in your test.* | Theft of Vitae, **@{name}** *got [[@{Willpower}d10>7]] total successes in your test.* | Cauldron of Blood, **@{name}** *got [[@{Willpower}d10>8]] total successes in your test.* } | Elemental Mastery, ?{Levels| Elemental Strength, **@{name}** *got [[@{Willpower}d10>4]] total successes in your test.* | Wooden Tongues, **@{name}** *got [[@{Willpower}d10>5]] total successes in your test.* | Animate the Unmoving, **@{name}** *got [[@{Willpower}d10>6]] total successes in your test.* | Elemental Form, **@{name}** *got [[@{Willpower}d10>7]] total successes in your test.* | Summon Elemental, **@{name}** *got [[@{Willpower}d10>8]] total successes in your test.* } } I would like the path name chosen to appear in the template, just like in the first macro shown. I tried every way and spent hours working on it, but it was in vain. Can you help me? If yes, thank you very much!

Hi Amilcar S. , Here's how I would handle this: &{template:default} {{name= **Thaumaturgy** *?{Path|    of Blood, ?{Levels|       A Taste For Blood, [A Taste For Blood](4) |       Blood Rage, [Blood Rage](5) |       Blood of Potency, [Blood of Potency](6) |       Theft of Vitae, [Theft of Vitae](7) |       Cauldron of Blood, [Cauldron of Blood](8)    } |    Elemental Mastery, ?{Levels|       Elemental Strength, [Elemental Strength](4) |       Wooden Tongues, [Wooden Tongues](5) |       Animate the Unmoving, [Animate the Unmoving](6) |       Elemental Form, [Elemental Form](7) |       Summon Elemental, [Summon Elemental](8)    } }* }} **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>[[?{Path} + {0}]] ]] total successes in your test.*

You got it in parts. Here's what the original MACRO looks like: Thaumaturgy Elemental Mastery Elemental Strength Note that in the purple template the path name and chosen level appears. And this is your MACRO. Like I said, you did it, but in parts. I would like the level name to appear in the template. Just one detail: the path name appears in the template as if it was a link and I could not fix it. However, thank you for your help,  Silvyre !

Try one of these modified macros, which makes reading the name of the 'path' easier: &{template:default} {{Thaumaturgy= *?{Path|    of Blood, ?{Levels|       A Taste For Blood, [A Taste For Blood](4) |       Blood Rage, [Blood Rage](5) |       Blood of Potency, [Blood of Potency](6) |       Theft of Vitae, [Theft of Vitae](7) |       Cauldron of Blood, [Cauldron of Blood](8)    } |    Elemental Mastery, ?{Levels|       Elemental Strength, [Elemental Strength](4) |       Wooden Tongues, [Wooden Tongues](5) |       Animate the Unmoving, [Animate the Unmoving](6) |       Elemental Form, [Elemental Form](7) |       Summon Elemental, [Summon Elemental](8)    } }* }} **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>[[?{Path} + {0}]] ]] total successes in your test.* &{template:default} {{Thaumaturgy *?{Path|    of Blood, ?{Levels|       A Taste For Blood, [A Taste For Blood](4) |       Blood Rage, [Blood Rage](5) |       Blood of Potency, [Blood of Potency](6) |       Theft of Vitae, [Theft of Vitae](7) |       Cauldron of Blood, [Cauldron of Blood](8)    } |    Elemental Mastery, ?{Levels|       Elemental Strength, [Elemental Strength](4) |       Wooden Tongues, [Wooden Tongues](5) |       Animate the Unmoving, [Animate the Unmoving](6) |       Elemental Form, [Elemental Form](7) |       Summon Elemental, [Summon Elemental](8)    } }* }} {{@{name} *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>[[?{Path} + {0}]] ]] total successes in your test.* }} I like using this "broken link" trick because it allows the simplification of otherwise complex macros. If you strongly prefer the look of the original macro, try this out: &{template:default} {{name= **Thaumaturgy** *?{Path|    of Blood, ?{Levels|       A Taste For Blood, [A Taste For Blood] (4) |       Blood Rage, [Blood Rage] (5) |       Blood of Potency, [Blood of Potency] (6) |       Theft of Vitae, [Theft of Vitae] (7) |       Cauldron of Blood, [Cauldron of Blood] (8)    } |    Elemental Mastery, ?{Levels|       Elemental Strength, [Elemental Strength] (4) |       Wooden Tongues, [Wooden Tongues] (5) |       Animate the Unmoving, [Animate the Unmoving] (6) |       Elemental Form, [Elemental Form] (7) |       Summon Elemental, [Summon Elemental] (8)    } }* }} **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>[[?{Path} + {0}]] ]] total successes in your test.*

This last MACRO looks like this: There is no way to remove the [] and (4)?

Minor alterations with HTML entities: &{template:default} {{name= **Thaumaturgy** ?{Path|    of Blood, ?{Levels|       A Taste For Blood, *A Taste For Blood*          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>4 ]] |       Blood Rage, *Blood Rage*          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>5 ]] |       Blood of Potency, *Blood of Potency*          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>6 ]] |       Theft of Vitae, *Theft of Vitae*          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>7 ]] |       Cauldron of Blood, *Cauldron of Blood*          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>8 ]]    } |    Elemental Mastery, ?{Levels|       Elemental Strength, *Elemental Strength*          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>4 ]] |       Wooden Tongues, *Wooden Tongues*          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>5 ]] |       Animate the Unmoving, *Animate the Unmoving*          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>6 ]] |       Elemental Form, *Elemental Form*          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>7 ]] |       Summon Elemental, *Summon Elemental*          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>8 ]]    } } total successes in your test.* }}

Still does not work. I tried changing it ] } | and , by shortcuts & # something;etc., but it did not work.

One thing to be wary of is, whenever you reopen a macro with html replacement characters (those ones that look like this "& #124" or "& #44", with the spaces removed), those characters will be erased. This is just the way roll20 works, there's no way around it. I find it best to build and edit macros with such characetrs in a text file, then when finished, copy it into the roll20 macro window, and save the macro. Then remember, don't reopen that macro. It's a good idea to keep a copy of the original macro safe in a textfile in case you want to edit it again later.

Yes, I'm always careful about that. But thanks! :)

Fixed: &{template:default} {{name= **Thaumaturgy** ?{Path|    of Blood, ?{Levels|       A Taste For Blood, *A Taste For Blood* }}          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>4 ]] |       Blood Rage, *Blood Rage* }}          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>5 ]] |       Blood of Potency, *Blood of Potency* }}          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>6 ]] |       Theft of Vitae, *Theft of Vitae* }}          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>7 ]] |       Cauldron of Blood, *Cauldron of Blood* }}          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>8 ]]    } |    Elemental Mastery, ?{Levels|       Elemental Strength, *Elemental Strength* }}          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>4 ]] |       Wooden Tongues, *Wooden Tongues* }}          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>5 ]] |       Animate the Unmoving, *Animate the Unmoving* }}          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>6 ]] |       Elemental Form, *Elemental Form* }}          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>7 ]] |       Summon Elemental, *Summon Elemental* }}          **@{name}** *got [[ @{Willpower}d10>8 ]]    } } total successes in your test.*

ola amigos. Sou novo e estou apanhando nas macros também. Sei que tem alguns foruns pra iniciantes, porem todos me confundem, pode me ajudar? Queria fazer uma macro para os testes de VIGOR, entre outros e aparecer em modelos. uma ágora Minha ESTA ASSIM: /roll {(@{Stamina} +0)d10s}>6f1} apenas aparece roling e os sucessos. queria uma template pra ela... obrigado

O fórum é totalmente em inglês, então raramente encontrará algo em português. Enfim, referente ao template: use esse código: &{template:default} {{name= Ação}} Eu já fiz uma MACRO de vigor, então lá vai a minha: &{template:default} {{name= **Vigor**}} **@{name}** *obteve [[ (@{Stamina} + @{Health} + ?{Modificador|0})d10>?{Dificuldade|6} ]] sucessos em seu teste.*
