Initiative Macro Help

1394363900

Edited 1394364237
I am currently trying to design a macro that allows me to roll initiative for the whole party with one click. However, i have been unable to do so. The problem i have is that i can easily send a roll to the initiative tracker with the &tracker command, but only for the token i have currently selected. Is it possible to either make the client select a token with a macro command, or select a target for the &tracker command? On the same topic, is there maybe a complete list of commands somewhere? I know that there is a good list of commands for rolls, but i haven't really found anything on the macro commands. Or if someone has a different solution to this, the main goal is to have a system that quickly gives me a random order for the party member in chaotic situations, since the nature of voicechat otherwise makes it really hard to quickly solve situations where everyone wants to talk at the same time, without giving them too much time to think.
@{target} &{tracker} does not work. The only way to do what you want is to use the API.
Multiple simultaneous initiative additions to the tracker will require the API and Mentor level access as HoneyBadger mentioned. The macro system is simply not capable of it. The Wiki categories for Text Chat , Dice Reference, Macros, Card Decks and Rollable Tables basically covers everything the Macro system is capable of. the Dice Reference is the main bulk of it.
Of course with a community as helpful as this one, you can very easily pose a question in Specific Use in plain English and many people will jump at the chance to reply with a solution. A detailed explanation of what you are trying to do and some examples (especially for more complicated dice systems like Shadowrun) will go a long way.
