macro help

How would I write a macro to roll a dice and add a variable depending on an attribute. For example I'd like to have an attack macro that rolls a d20 and adds  (-3) if the attribute is 3, (-2) if the attribute is 4-5, (-1) if the attribute is 6-8, (0) if the attribute is 9-12, (+1) if the attribute is 13-15, (+2) if the attribute is 16-17 and (+3) if the attribute is 18? Thank you for helping out a noob!

Nope, that's not possible right now. Might be soon with rollable tables though... but those are dev only in beta testing at the moment.

Ok. So I redid the character sheet to have the attribute bonus not the attribute. I added an ability "weapon damage" and I typed "/roll 1d8 + STR BONUS" (this was one of the drop down choices from the list of attributes). Then I checked the "show in macro bar?" box. When I click the macro button thus created the dice rolls across the screen but nothing appears in the chat log nor do I get the "beep" sound I associate with the chat. Also the dice doesn't ever go away so if I hit it over and over I get alot of dice on the screen I can't seem to get rid of. What am I doing wrong?

Wow the dice are stuck on every page of my campaign.

Hrm, the dice must not be "settling" into a final state. Can you go to&nbsp; <a href="http://supportdetails.com/" rel="nofollow">http://supportdetails.com/</a> &nbsp;and post the info from that page?

Thanks Lisa, I've passed this on to the devs and we'll see if we can figure out what is going on. In the interim if you turn of 3d dice it should solve the problem.

Ok I tried it again. Now when I run the macro with 3d dice enabled the dice disappears after a second but nothing appears in the chat log. When I run the macro with the 3d dice disabled, the macro produces the expected chat log. I will disable 3D dice to run my games in the intrim. Thanks for looking into this.

Figured out the problem "1d8 ++2" there is an extra + sign in there. I might be able to fix this up to handle better in the parser but for now you can just remove the extra + in your attributes and you should be fine.

Should I remove it from the macro text or from the attribute?

ok. when i took the + sign out of the attribute and left it in the macro, everything works as expected when i take the + sign out of the macro and leave it in the attribute, i recreate the problem i will now try it with negative attributes

ok i take that back.. everything works as long as i leave the plus out of either the macro text or the attribute. thank you so much!

Yup, the - is fine for negative attributes but in the JS&nbsp;interpreter&nbsp;++ has special meaning so it ends up throwing a weird error. So for positive attributes just leave the + off the value.

I'm new here (and new to&nbsp;posting&nbsp;in general - please excuse any breaks in&nbsp;etiquette). To both Eric D. &amp; Lisa -&nbsp; I wanted to say thank you. I've been having some trouble making my Attributes macros work correctly. The most frustrating part was that it would work sometimes, but not others. The ++ comment helped me realize that I had put +2 in the Abilities section, then was putting 2d6+@{STR} which then recreated the ++ coding. Things are working!! I never would have realized it without this post. Thank you!

Awesome, I'll see if there is something we can do server side to make this less of a problem.
