Simple Initiative Macro Question

Hey good people I'm new to this and am trying to make my GM rolls in private instead of showing in the communication side bar. I'm using Bar 3 as the Initiative bonus and am basing the roll off that when I select a token. I cannot get it to work so only I see it.  What am I doing wrong? /gr @{selected|token_name} rolls a [[1d20+@{selected|bar3} & {tracker}]] for initiative! Thanks for all your help.  It is appreciated.
Hello Colin, I use ![[1d20  +?{Modifier|0}  &{tracker}]] for initiative. The exclamation mark stops the chat from processing the line in the chat window. So you just see the roll appear in the tracker. Don't forget though, you have to select a token first to roll the initiative first. To roll for that token.

GM Roll (/gr) is for dice rolls. You got a lot of other stuff going on in there. Try this: /w gm @{selected|token_name} rolls a [[1d20+@{selected|bar3} & {tracker}]] for initiative!

Okay took the space out between the &{tracker} and it works now.  Cheers for that.
