Bag of Tricks Macro

Hi all, apologies if this is a stupid question.  One of my players has a Bag of Tricks.  I was hoping to create a Macro/ Deck/ Rollable Table which would roll the 1d8 to determine which creature is generated and automatically drop the Token onto the map.  I thought this might be a cool effect.  Is there anyway to do this? Thanks in advance.

Hello, As a Pro subscriber you could use the API to script such effect. For a "quick" way to implement such magic item in a game, you can rely on the solution Ziechael provided here .

Thank you for your response Eric.  As I read the script, does that not simple roll the table and post the result to the chat window?  I was hoping to also have the macro place the relevant creature token in the map?  Maybe I’m being too ambitious.

You can make a table with 8 items in it, you can also make tokens for each creature and it will change the token

You can do a lot of things with the tables I've made an example for you using the gray bag of things I just used some pics from the internet but as you see it took me about 15 min You've got a couple of basic ways to use it: 1) in the chat &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;~ /r 1t[TableNameHere] which will print the name of the result some useless text and also the picture(if you have a picture), For example, the rat picture at the top of the chat &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;~ /r [[1t[TableNameHere]]] which will print the name of the result and some useless text, For example, the middle of the chat rolling&nbsp;<span class="inlinerollresult showtip tipsy-n-right" title="Rolling 1t[Gray-Bag-Of-Tricks] = ( Dire Wolf )" style="box-sizing: content-box; background-color: rgb(254, 246, 142); border: 2px solid rgb(254, 246, 142); padding: 0px 3px; font-weight: bold; cursor: help; font-size: inherit;">Dire Wolf ] 0 = 0 rolling&nbsp;<span class="inlinerollresult showtip tipsy-n-right" original-title="Rolling 1t[Gray-Bag-Of-Tricks] = ( Dire Wolf )" style="box-sizing: content-box; background-color: rgb(254, 246, 142); border: 2px solid rgb(254, 246, 142); padding: 0px 3px; font-weight: bold; cursor: help; font-size: inherit;">Dire Wolf 0 = 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;~ [[1t[TableNameHere]]] Which will print only the result, For example, the end of the chat <span class="inlinerollresult showtip tipsy-n-right" original-title="Rolling 1t[Gray-Bag-Of-Tricks] = ( Giant Elk )" style="box-sizing: content-box; background-color: rgb(254, 246, 142); border: 2px solid rgb(254, 246, 142); padding: 0px 3px; font-weight: bold; cursor: help; font-size: 1.1em;">Giant Elk <span class="inlinerollresult showtip tipsy-n-right" original-title="Rolling 1t[Gray-Bag-Of-Tricks] = ( Weasel )" style="box-sizing: content-box; background-color: rgb(254, 246, 142); border: 2px solid rgb(254, 246, 142); padding: 0px 3px; font-weight: bold; cursor: help; font-size: 1.1em;">Weasel <span class="inlinerollresult showtip tipsy-n-right" title="Rolling 1t[Gray-Bag-Of-Tricks] = ( Boar )" style="box-sizing: content-box; background-color: rgb(254, 246, 142); border: 2px solid rgb(254, 246, 142); padding: 0px 3px; font-weight: bold; cursor: help; font-size: 1.1em;">Boar <span class="inlinerollresult showtip tipsy-n-right" title="Rolling 1t[Gray-Bag-Of-Tricks] = ( Weasel )" style="box-sizing: content-box; background-color: rgb(254, 246, 142); border: 2px solid rgb(254, 246, 142); padding: 0px 3px; font-weight: bold; cursor: help; font-size: 1.1em;">Weasel *the number 1 in "1t[TableNameHere]" the number of times to roll you can change it f you want 2) From the Tables menu &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ~ Token: will make a new token and add it to the map &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ~ Roll: will print the result at the chat (will print the same as writing "/r 1t[TableNameHere]") 3) the token on the map &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;~ Random Side: will change the token picture to a random picture from the table &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;~ Choose Side: will open the window on the left which will let you choose the picture/Token Side P.S When adding a new item to the table you have an option for weight if your making a basic table like this you don't need to use it but I use it as percentage for example if I have 3 items in a table and I want 1 of then to be the result half of the time and one of the other 2 a quarter of the time, as the common item's weight I would put 50 and in the other 2 I would put 25
