Calling successes and botches from a sum roll

I am working on a character sheet for a game that tallies successes and botches. Players always roll 5 dice. Some are d10s which represent their skill; the others are d6s that represent chaos, entropy, or general competence. For example, a player with a Storm skill at rank 4 would roll 4d10 + 1d6. A player with a Storm skill of 2 would roll 2d10 + 3d6. I can call a simple Macro from my character sheet, but I am no good at writing code past what I already know and can imagine. Here is what I have: button type='roll' value='/roll @{Storm}d10 + (5-@{Storm})d6' name='roll_StormCheck'></button> I would love to be able to: - Sort in descending order. - Highlight 6s and higher as successes. - Highlight 1s as botches. - Tally total successes (successes - botches). - Trigger a message that says, "Process a subroutine!", when there are 3 or more total successes. I apologize for my ignorance and thank you for any help you can offer. I've tried things like this that haven't worked: button type='roll' value='/roll {@{Storm}d10 + (5-@{Storm})d6}ds>6f1' name='roll_StormCheck'></button>

This will tally all successes and botches, and highlight 6+ and 1s: /roll {@{Storm}d10cs>6cf<1sd}>6 + {(5-@{Storm})d6cs>6cf<1sd}>6f1 It will also sort all d10s in descending order, and all d6s in descending order - you can't sort them in one group AFAIK. You also can't have the message triggered on 3+ successes, using the basic dice engine. It's not possible to re-use a roll, as you'd need to be able to examine how many successes you got. It might be possible to do everything you want by creating a custom rolltemplate for your sheet, since the number of dice is fixed, but that will need some involved coding logic.  Edit:  the first version of this post didnt include botches counting, That's fixed.

Got you, G G - thank you so muc h for the assist! I will mess with rolltemplates soon :)

Running into an issue when the attr rank is 5 and the roll consequently calls for 5d10 + 0d6. The "rolling the dice" message appears in the chat, but no results are displayed. Is there a way to script a conditional for something like: if @{Skill}==5, /roll {@{Skill}d10 cs>6cf<1sd}>6f1, else  /roll {@{Deny}d10cs>6cf<1sd}>6 + {(5-@{Deny})d6cs>6cf<1sd}>6f1 This only happens at skill rank 5, not 1, 2, 3, or 4. Also a few skills just don't return a roll at all at any skill rank between 1 and 5. <p>Deny <input type="number" name="attr_Deny" value='' max="5" min="1" /> <button type='roll' value='/roll {@{Deny}d10cs>6cf<1sd}>6 + {(5-@{Deny})d6cs>6cf<1sd}>6f1' name='roll_DenyCheck'></button></p> <p>Gel <input type="number" name="attr_Gel" value='' max="5" min="1" /> <button type='roll' value='/roll {@{Gel}d10cs>6cf<1sd}>6 + {(5-@{Gel})d6cs>6cf<1sd}>6f1' name='roll_GelCheck'></button></p> Could it be a naming problem?

The names should be fine. Are you sure the attributes have values? Chad S. said: Running into an issue when the attr rank is 5 and the roll consequently calls for 5d10 + 0d6.

Unfortunately there's no way to do a conditional check like that. I've just tested, and 0dice rolls in that format, with the &gt;6 test at the end, fail in this way. It's a bug, and I've raised a bug thread over here: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/6980237/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/6980237/</a> By the way, I just noticed a little error in my earlier code: /roll {@{Storm}d10cs&gt;6cf&lt;1sd}&gt;6 f1 + {(5-@{Storm})d6cs&gt;6cf&lt;1sd}&gt;6f1 I overlooked the f1 on the first dice (see bolded section above). Though because of the bug, this expression isnt as useful as it should be.

Working on sheet here , as well.

Is it just those names that don't work?

Yes. No "rolling the dice" message. Wondering if I missed a bracket or quote in an element above or below, but not seeing anything (which doesn't mean it's not there). G G said: Is it just those names that don't work?

I created attributes named Deny and Gel, and tested it, and it works for me (as long as the starts aren't 0 or 5). Is it possible you have duplicate attributes? Go to the Attributes and Abilities tab and delete all Gel and Deny attributes (check if there's more than one, too), then re-enter them on the character sheet, then retest. Also create a new character, and test it in that one.

G G said: Is it just those names that don't work? I cant see anything wrong with the formula you've posted, but when you're creating a custom character sheet, you can end up with faulty attributes on the sheet you're using for testing. if you have weird errors, its a good idea to create a new character, and see if the errors persist.

Great tip, G G - thank you. New character &amp; deleting/re-upping stats did not work, so I am going to rename them and see what happens.

I found the problem - versioning between GitHub and r20. I left an old typo here; fixed it and fixed Deny and Gel. Now we just need the 5d10 + 0d6 bug resolved.

Thats good to hear! i dont know how fast roll20 will respond to the bug report, I've never reported one before.

Now some weird math is showing up on certain rolls like {@{Rush}d10cs&gt;6cf&lt;1sd}&gt;6f1 + {(5-@{Rush})d6cs&gt;6cf&lt;1sd, 0d6}&gt;6f1 For example,&nbsp; {(1 + 1 + 1)} + {(3 + 1)} Will return - 3 successes, rather than -4. Another example: {(10 + 8 + 2)} + {(3 + 3)} Will return 3 successes instead of 2. And something like&nbsp; {(9 + 2 + 1)} + {(5 + 1)} Will return 1 success instead of -1 successes. What is the weirdness happening between the brackets?
