Alien Charsheet Question

Hello everyone, My name is Lena. I'm a GM from Russia. Me with my friends are trying out Alien scenarios and make macrosses to play it through Roll20. We are also going to use internal charsheets for it. So here is a question: how can I adress buttons on charsheet (like 'panic', etc) through macross? What kind of syntax I should use? Is there a way to do it? Thank you for any help.

First, make sure you have the Macro Bar on. Inside the campaign, in the Macros tab, click the checkbox that says something like Use Macro Bar. Then you can drag the buttons on the character sheet to a bar at the bottom of the screen. You can use them directly from there. You can also grab the name from there, and put it in syntax like this: %{CHARACTER|BUTTON}  replace CHARACTER with your character name replace BUTTON with the name as shown on the macro bar. So if your character name is Ellen Ripley , and the button is called Stamina , you would use %{Ellen Ripley|Stamina} You can replace the CHARACTER part with selected , and then when you have a token selected, it will use the values of that token's character. %{selected|Stamina} Hope this helps!
GiGs, Thank you very much! It helped a lot.

Great! :)
Hey Mockingbird. I just played a lot of Alien through roll 20. There is a character sheet that works for all the rolls. It's a mutant year zero variation It has everything on it. For me the best thing I did besides use that character sheet is set up each monster with its own character sheet and attacks listed under abilities. Then when you select the token all of the ability attack macros come up. It was a bit of work to set it up because each monster has six different attacks and damages and some of the attacks if they hit add another attack. But in the end it was all worth it. Mike
You csn also make token macros, click the button, then [up arrow] in the chat, copy and past onto the abilities tab.
