D&D5e Using Query Macros to select and display NPC attacks / actions

(5e OGL sheets) I found this macro in the forums from  Silvyre  but it seems outdated, Is there an updated way to click an npc and do their attacks without making macros for each npc or having a bunch of sheets open? And if it can have saves and checks in there too that would be perfect. /w gm &{template:5eDefault} {{outputall=1}} {{title=Actions}} {{ [@{selected|npc_action_name1} ](~selected|NPCAction1) }} {{ [@{selected|npc_action_name2} ](~selected|NPCAction2) }} {{ [@{selected|npc_action_name3} ](~selected|NPCAction3) }} {{ [@{selected|npc_action_name4} ](~selected|NPCAction4) }} {{ [@{selected|npc_action_name5} ](~selected|NPCAction5) }} {{ [@{selected|npc_action_name6} ](~selected|NPCAction6) }}

As far as I know, this is not possible using the OGL sheet without using the API, or a complex macro such as you have posted. I have tested the one above, by the way, and cannot get it to work as written. The built-in macro for Action 1, for instance, should be %{selected|repeating_npcaction_$0_npc_action} This looks to be referencing a character ability (macro) named "NPCAction1" ~selected|NPCAction1 If this is an important feature for you, you might be able to re-write the macro using the syntax give on this page . Or you could investigate the Shaped Sheet, which has all of those functions built in. It's also possible that these features are granted by the companion script for the OGL sheet. I/m not that familiar with it.

Is there an API that pretty much does this? That would be easier.

I believe that someone has written a script to report from the OGL sheet, but to install and run it would require a Pro level subscription. I also cannot seem to find it. Maybe someone with better google-fu. There are many other things the API can do to automate your game play. Look for some threads in the API forum asking for beginner recommendations. It should give you a brief overview of some of the possibilities.

I believe this is the one you're remembering:&nbsp;<a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5608775/script-update-tokenaction-creator-for-5e-ogl-sheet-version-2-dot-0/?pagenum=1" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5608775/script-update-tokenaction-creator-for-5e-ogl-sheet-version-2-dot-0/?pagenum=1</a>

That works perfectly thank you

That's a good one, but the one I was thinking of created a report in chat of particular attributes. Ah well, if that one works perfectly, though.
