Help with formatting a custom roll from a custom character sheet

Hi all, So I've been trying to create a weapon system for a homebrew system my DM has been making. In the character sheet, a player can enter all the relevant info about their weapon: They click the roll button at the bottom, then this appears: The problem is, even though this uses the standard template, it doesn't display properly. When I've used macros (in game) with the same template, it shows up in it's own little card. Mine doesn't. If the player rolls again, it looks badly formatted in the game chat window: Could anyone please tell me what I'm missing/doing wrong? Here's the code for the button: <button name="roll_meleehit"  type="roll"  value= "&{template:default} {{name=@{meleeweaponname}}} Attack [[1d100]] < Target [[@{sFIR} + @{sFIRBon} + @{attbonus}]] Damage: [[@{dmgdicecount}d@{dmgdicefaces}]] @{damagetype} Penetration: [[@{attpen}]] Location: [[1d100]] "> </button> Thanks

Only things inside {{ }} will be part of the box. You add those to each line and then they will all show up as separate lines inside the template box.

And put them all on the same line. like this: <button name="roll_meleehit"  type="roll"  value= "&{template:default} {{name=@{meleeweaponname}}} {{ Attack [[1d100]] < Target [[@{sFIR} + @{sFIRBon} + @{attbonus}]]}} {{ Damage: [[@{dmgdicecount}d@{dmgdicefaces}]] @{damagetype} }} {{ Penetration: [[@{attpen}]]}} {{ Location: [[1d100]]}} "> </button>

changing the in-line separators to = will format them as proper columns, too. Here's the value part: &{template:default} {{name=@{meleeweaponname}}} {{Attack=[[1d100]] < Target [[@{sFIR} + @{sFIRBon} + @{attbonus}]]}} {{Damage=[[@{dmgdicecount}d@{dmgdicefaces}]] @{damagetype} }} {{Penetration=[[@{attpen}]]}} {{Location=[[1d100]]}}

I almost feel like this is the beginning of a joke...How many sheet authors does it take to change a roll formula...? LOL

I did think it was funny that there were 3 people contributing, each one genuinely adding something extra. hehe.

It worked perfectly. Thanks Gigs, Dakota H and Finderski for the help :)

Great! Dont forget Dakota!
