Elemental Bow ammunition usage

Here's the rundown. I have two rangers, one with a Fire and one with an Ice bow, each have a resource named "Fire/Ice Bow", respectively, and the attacks are able to use a single of 10 charges to add 1d4 elemental damage or two charges for 1d10 damage, regaining 1d6 charges at dawn. What I'd really  like to do is have a "Elemental shot" weapon attack that will ?{Norm|1d4|Better|1d10} kind of thing for damage, but will also both reduce the normal Arrows resource by 1 as well as reduce the Fire/Ice Bow resource by either 1 or 2 depending on the choice above. I know how to make it use multiple ammo quantities, but not multiple ammo fields, if that's even possible on the 5e OGL sheet. At present I have ** 12** different attack lines to do any combination of Bow (1d8), Gloomstalker (1d8), Hunter's Mark (1d6), & 1d4/1d10 elemental damage. While it could probably be easier to have a single macro that gives all the options and rolls appropriately, I'm not sure if it's wise to have them go through 4-5 clicks every time they attack something. I'd love feedback or ideas or help with the ammo situation if anyone can provide any? Humbly, Agnati

I appreciate that. I'm already using it (and boy is it a life saver for keeping up with "paperwork"!). I'm hoping it has the ability to deduct specified ammo amounts of different resource fields. I couldn't find anything about that in the ammotracking documentation.

I couldn't find anything about that in the ammotracking documentation. It does in that Link I gave you. You have to install the companion API script into your game.&nbsp; It should have all the needed instructions on how to do this. Once the script is installed you can use it to track ammo. If that is not complete enough then check out&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/5th_Edition_OGL_by_Roll20#Automatic_Ammunition_Tracking" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/5th_Edition_OGL_by_Roll20#Automatic_Ammunition_Tracking</a> &nbsp;after you have the script installed.
So sorry, Mark, I should have been more clear. I have had and have been using the ammo tracking via the mentioned API &amp; campaign settings and it works fine for shooting a longbow using "ammunition: Arrows" or a double crossbow with "ammunition: Bolts,2" or whatever. What I'm looking for is to be able to track two different kinds &nbsp;of ammunition with that field, i.e. shooting an elemental bow and it reducing "ammunition: Arrows,1 / BowCharge,2" or something along those lines. I haven't been able to find documentation on having it track two different kinds of ammo/resource, only multiple pieces of a single ammo type. I appreciate the reply though!
I'm pretty sure this could be done with a macro, but I am a novice on the topic, hopefully the coders can chime in.
It&nbsp; would have to be done with a macro and possible another api. The 5E sheet resource tracking only supports a single entry into that field. I did test both with chatsetattr and ammo api script. From my testing it seems these two scripts have issue finding the repeating_resource_left. Some times it will find it some times it won't. I am not as familiar with the 5E sheet by roll20 as others. I would sugget the The Aarron or others more savvy test this. Kiethcurtus is another whos very familiar with this sheet.&nbsp;
