Language Macro

Hello All. A quick one for you here. I have a macro set up that displays each characters passive perception: /w GM &{template:default} {{name=Party Passive Perception}} {{Samalyn=[[@{Samalyn|passive_wisdom}]]}} {{Eltasain Jhaelen=[[@{Eltasain Jhaelen|passive_wisdom} ]]}} {{Scarlet=[[@{Scarlet|passive_wisdom}]]}} {{Yip-Jib=[[@{Yip-Jib Emeraldvein|passive_wisdom} ]]}} {{Windwhisper=[[@{Windwhisper Faircliff|passive_wisdom} ]]}} {{Mad Kairon=[[@{Mad Kairon|passive_wisdom} ]]}} I want something similar but tells me what languages they speak. Has anyone come across somehting like that?

You'd simply replace the inline roll of their passive perception with an attribute call to your sheet's language attribute(s): &{template:default} {{name=languages}} {{Samalyn=@{Samalyn|languages} }}

Hi Scott. I couldn't seem to find anything called languages, I kept finding NPC languages. I'll try it and let you know.

Ok Scott. I added an Attribute called Languages and added in Samalyn's in the 'current' section and then used the Macro /w GM &{template:default} {{name=Party Languages}} {{Samalyn=[[@{Samalyn|languages}]]}} And I got the following error: Any Ideas? To help I added in the languages as: Draconic, Primordial, etc, etc, etc.

Since it's not a roll, drop the square brackets... /w GM &{template:default} {{name=Party Languages}} {{Samalyn=@{Samalyn|languages}}}

Yep, also, if there is a place on your character sheet in Roll20 for languages? There will be an attribute that holds this info. What sheet are you using?

Ah, it looks like the OGL sheet uses a repeating section for languages and misc profs. So, if you make sure all of your players have their language proficiency in position 0 (the top ability), this should work for you: /w GM &{template:default} {{name=Party Languages}} {{Samalyn=@{Samalyn|repeating_proficiencies_$0_name}}}

I just added a 'Languages' ability onto the character sheet and then C/P'ed the info into it. Works a treat now :)

How could we apply @{target|character_name} so that you could click on said token to get languages.  Does the macro have to be specificly built for one character or is there a way to weaponize it for everyone.

The target keyword can be used for any attribute, so: /w GM &{template:default} {{name=@{target|character_name} Languages}} {{@{target|repeating_proficiencies_$0_name}}}

Yes, totally saving this.  Just seems it would save a lot of writing instead of consistantly writing out one for different players.
