Using the success macro function as a variable?

As the title states, I'm wondering if you can use the Success Macro function to store and use as a variable in a single macro roll. For example: [[1d100>[[100-((@{acc}+(10*?{wadv?|0}))-@{target|avoid})]]]] This function above checks to see if your attack hit, with other variables to determine it.  I'm wondering if you can use this success binary value 0 or 1 to track and compare against other functions.  Specifically for rolling for damage if the function above results in a 1, and skipping the damage roll if it's a 0. 1d100>[[100-(@{critc}-@{target|cavoid})]] This function checks for a critical strike, I'm not 100% sure how to use the "ifwascrit" function in part of the Template, or even if it's a default function.  Either way, this check will use a binary value to add your critical strike multiplier to damage if it were a critical.

Are you asking about editing a character sheet, or standard roll macros? A standard macro cant use the result of a roll as a variable. It has no flow control, or conditional logic support. You can  evaluate your hit roll as 0 or 1 (critical), and thus show critical damage, but this would replace the normal roll, so you wouldnt also be able to see if you got an ordinary success or fail. A character sheet rolltemplate can be written to show different additional effects on a critical (when you'd use ifWasCrit), but it still has limitations. It wouldnt eb able to add the two damage results for instance (you can't perform arithmetic inside a rolltemplate). Since you're a pro user, the PowerCards script might be able to do what you need, or an API script could be written to do it.

Yeah, I was hoping to avoid using the API, but I guess it's unavoidable.  I hope implementing Binary Variable checks based off of the Success function won't be too difficult.  But it's programming.  Nothing's simple in programming.

Oh and yes, I will be using a sheet.  So that might make things easier for using the API.

Cross post from  here : You'll either end up with 0 damage or some damage but something like the following would work (i'm not sure how your system works so I've had to summarise some things): Ziechael deals [[ [[ (1d20-2)*[[1d100>22]] ]] * [[ {1d20*[[1d100>30]],1d1}kh1 ]] ]] damage! To explain the above I'll replace the hard coded values below: Ziechael deals [[ [[ ([damage]-[target defence])*[[1d100>[attack target] ]] ]] * [[ {[crit multiplier]*[[1d100>[crit target] ]],1d1}kh1 ]] ]] damage! You may have to rearrange to suit your system but the general idea is that you multiply your damage by 0 or 1 depending on whether or not you hit, you then multiply that by your crit multiplier (which I assume would be higher than a 1?) if a crit success is rolled or it is multiplied by a 1 if the crit fails which gives you your basic damage. Sadly there would be no way to alter the padding so you'd have something like: With the only way of knowing a crit was applied by hovering over the result: In this case a crit wasn't applied since the damage was only multiplied by 1 :( And when you don't even hit you get the following (no hit and no crit... a bad day at the office): Hopefully that sets you on the road to an answer?
