Sheet Worker help: Using one attribute to call the value of a similarly named attribute

Doing a simple Attribute + Skill roller that a player can select any combination of Attribute + any Skill. Trying to find the easiest way to set that up. I tried doing it with macros but not much luck. I currently have the following attributes: rollSkill (Is set to a string matching the appropriate skill (ie. Athletics, Medicine) rollAttr (Is set to a string matching a attribute (ie. Might, Intelligence) I'm hoping that I can call either of these attributes to then point to the numerical value of their respective attributes, which are labeled like attr_Athletics, attr_Medicine, attr_Might, attr_Intelligence.  Can I do this more directly or do I need to do an if/then chain? 

how are you calling this? a single input, a a bunch of inputs in the sheet, a repeating sections? My first inclination would be to create an array of skill names, and an array of attribute names. Call those arrays skills  and attributes . You then use them in the getAttrs line of the sheet worker, along with the attribute and skill selection input, something like getAttrs([...attributes, rollSkill],function(values) { getAttrs([...skills, rollskill],function(values) { The ... is the spread operator: it tells roll20 to expand that array into its individual items and place them here.  Now you can get the value of the input_skill to get the skill value and save it in a hidden attribute.  const skill_name = values.rollSkill; const skill_value = values[skill_name]; Since your attributes are named conveniently, you can get their value this way. and then save it with setAttrs as usual.

Just remembered, you will want to put the skills and attributes arrays before the change lines, and have them all listed there. Bercause you want the values updated when any of the skills or attributes changed. One way to do this is const skills = [/* all your skills here */]; on(`change:${skills.join(' change:')} change:rollskill  sheet:opened`,  function() {        getAttrs([...skills, rollSkill],function(values) {            const skill_name = values.rollSkill;            const skill_value = values[skill_name];        setAttrs({ rollskillvalue: skill_value });        }); }); change rollskillvalue to the name of the input where your store the value. The skills.join part will build the change line for all the skills. 

Thinking of calling this onChange, the Skill/Attribute variable would be set when they make a new selection and prime for when they make a sheet roll. 

I'm not sure what you;re calling there? html would help. What are they selecting? It'll have to wait till tomorrow though, I'm off to bed.

I was kinda hoping you'd post the html for the specific bit needed to understand this question.&nbsp;

I had a look at this &nbsp;&lt;div class="rowflex"&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;input type="checkbox" class="radio-path order1" name="attr_path-Academics"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;label class="text-button inline order2"&gt;&lt;input type="radio" class="labelradio invisible" name="attr_rollSkill" value="Academics"&gt;&lt;span data-il8n="Academics"&gt;Academics&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/label&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;input type="text" class="input input-skill order3"&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;div class="inline dotcontainer order4"&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;input type="radio" class="radio-dots invisible" name="attr_Academics" value="0" checked="checked"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;input type="radio" class="radio-dots" name="attr_Academics" value="1"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;input type="radio" class="radio-dots" name="attr_Academics" value="2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;input type="radio" class="radio-dots" name="attr_Academics" value="3"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;input type="radio" class="radio-dots" name="attr_Academics" value="4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;input type="radio" class="radio-dots" name="attr_Academics" value="5"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/div&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/div&gt; So it looks like all your skills are a single radio button, rollSkill. So your highlighting the one that is currently selected. And each one also has a radio button showing its value. That said, the technique I described above should should work with no problem. You just need to create two hidden inputs: one for current attribute value, and one for current skill value. Lets say we call them active_attribute, and active_skill. Put these anywhere in your sheet. &lt;input type="hidden" name="attr_activeattribute" value="0"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="attr_activeskill" value="0"&gt; And add these two sheet workers For skills: const skills = ['Academics', 'Athletics', /* rest of your skills here */]; on(`change:${skills.join(' change:')} change:rollskill&nbsp; sheet:opened`, &nbsp;function() {&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;getAttrs([...skills, rollSkill],function(values) {&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;const skill_name = values.rollSkill;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;const skill_value = values[skill_name]; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;setAttrs({ active_skill: skill_value });&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}); }); For attributes const attributes = [/* all your attributes here */]; on(`change:${attributes.join(' change:')} change:rollattribute&nbsp; sheet:opened`, &nbsp;function() {&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;getAttrs([...attributes, rollAttribute],function(values) {&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;setAttrs({ active_attribute: values[values.rollAttribute] });&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}); }); And if I'm understanding the code, that should do the trick.

Getting errors in the console, this happens in the flavors of both Skills and Attributes: ReferenceError: rollAttribute is not defined &nbsp; &nbsp; at Array.eval (eval at messageHandler (sheetsandboxworker.js?1565470367924:698), &lt;anonymous&gt;:14:30) &nbsp; &nbsp; at self.trigger (sheetsandboxworker.js?1565470367924:110) &nbsp; &nbsp; at messageHandler (sheetsandboxworker.js?1565470367924:702) ::EDIT:: Figured it out, just needed to wrap the attribute in '' Looks like its working now. Amazing! Thanks GiGs

oh yes, well spotted. You're welcome :)

Well, after some more testing it seems I spoke too soon. For whatever reason its only forwarding the Skill value but not the Attribute value.&nbsp; const attributes = ['Intellect', 'Cunning', 'Resolve', 'Might', 'Dexterity', 'Stamina', 'Presence', 'Manipulation', 'Composure']; on(`change:${attributes.join(' change:')} change:rollAttr sheet:opened`, function() {&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; getAttrs([...attributes, 'rollAttr'],function(values) {&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; const attribute_name = values.rollattr;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; const attribute_value = values[attribute_name]; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; setAttrs({ active_attribute: values[attribute_value]] });&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }); }); I tried making the attribute code look like a copy of the skill code but it still isn't working. :(

anything in the change line needs to be in lower case. I forget to apply this earlier. Change that line to on(`change:${attributes.join(' change:').toLowerCase()} change:rollattr sheet:opened`, function() {&nbsp; &nbsp; For safety, add that .toLowerCase() in the same place for the earlier code. Funnily enough, your attribute_name line uses lower case, but that one should be the proper case. Assuming the attribute is rollAttr (I thought it was rollAttribute?) const attribute_name = values.rollAttr;&nbsp;
