[5e OGL Sheet] Using "/emas @{selected|character_name}" with a Roll Template Possible?

1584081637

Edited 1584085683
Small note: This question relates to the  5e OGL by Roll20 Character Sheet 'Ello all!  I'm wondering if it's possible to set up any or all of the Roll Templates (as shown here ) with the "/emas @{selected|token_name}" ?  What I would guess from my very brief acquaintanceship, is that there isn't really a way to attach that command to the pre-existing NPC's and monsters in 'Curse of Strahd' (the Roll20 Marketplace adventure I'm currently running).  So what I'm thinking I would have to do, assuming that you can attach the "emote as selected token_name" to a Roll Template, is just redo all the sheets and their actions with that addition.  But is that something that would work?  And as a side note: is "/emas" the correct action or command to use?  I'd prefer that when I "emote as" whoever (NPC's, monsters, etc.) any associated picture and formatting would be the same as if I had selected the character from the drop down menu below.  I'm coming back after a 3 year hiatus from when I played under 4e – without having used a character sheet or having access to the API or anything at the time – so the huge amount I have to both unlearn and learn again is a little scary.   Apologies if this question is effectively answered in the help desk somewhere, I'm having a few issues with figuring out the right place to start at. Edit: P.S. psst! I'm doing a few searches for the most up to date tutorials relating to using the basics (non API) of Roll20, but would certainly appreciate anyone that dropped their own recommendations.  Thanks very much in advance!

I tried experimenting with this a little bit.&nbsp; I don't think it would be possible to emote as someone without switching your chat to talk as them.&nbsp; But I think you could create a generic attack that could query for input that would work from a targeted token.&nbsp; This would result in something that looks a little different than the standard emote, but would maybe serve your purpose.&nbsp; One of the brainy programmers here will have to tell us if I'm right though, because I'm unable to make it work with my limited programming knowledge.&nbsp; Also there is this discussion that might help:&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8211247/typing-as-selected-token#post-8211575" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8211247/typing-as-selected-token#post-8211575</a>
