[5e Shaped] Macro question Drop down menu for ability checks

Heyo! I'm super new at this. I've seen this super simple macro that creates a drop down menu for Saving Throws. %{selected|shaped_saving_throw_query} Is there a way to make a query for skills?

This should work! Here is one for checks: @{selected|wtype}&{template:simple} @{selected|rtype}?{Ability|Acrobatics, +@{selected|acrobatics_bonus}@{selected|pbd_safe} ]]}} {{rname=Acrobatics}}

Credit: Grabbed these from the token actions made by the Token Action script. Edit: You can also drop all of the @{pbd_safe} portions if not using proficiency dice.

That macro doesn't work for me. The drop down menu is filled with other stuff, and when I click one of the options the chat entry is empty. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

My bad, that one is meant to be used for Token Actions. This should work: @{selected|wtype}&{template:simple} @{selected|rtype}?{Ability|Acrobatics, +@{selected|acrobatics_bonus} ]]}} {{rname=Acrobatics}} {{mod=@{selected|acrobatics_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|acrobatics_bonus} ]]}} |Animal Handling, +@{selected|animal_handling_bonus} ]]}} {{rname=Animal Handling}} {{mod=@{selected|animal_handling_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|animal_handling_bonus} ]]}} |Arcana, +@{selected|arcana_bonus} ]]}} {{rname=Arcana}} {{mod=@{selected|arcana_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|arcana_bonus} ]]}} |Athletics, +@{selected|athletics_bonus} ]]}} {{rname=Athletics}} {{mod=@{selected|athletics_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|athletics_bonus} ]]}} |Deception, +@{selected|deception_bonus} ]]}} {{rname=Deception}} {{mod=@{selected|deception_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|deception_bonus} ]]}} |History, +@{selected|history_bonus} ]]}} {{rname=History}} {{mod=@{selected|history_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|history_bonus} ]]}} |Insight, +@{selected|insight_bonus} ]]}} {{rname=Insight}} {{mod=@{selected|insight_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|insight_bonus} ]]}} |Intimidation, +@{selected|intimidation_bonus} ]]}} {{rname=Intimidation}} {{mod=@{selected|intimidation_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|intimidation_bonus} ]]}} |Investigation, +@{selected|investigation_bonus} ]]}} {{rname=Investigation}} {{mod=@{selected|investigation_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|investigation_bonus} ]]}} |Medicine, +@{selected|medicine_bonus} ]]}} {{rname=Medicine}} {{mod=@{selected|medicine_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|medicine_bonus} ]]}} |Nature, +@{selected|nature_bonus} ]]}} {{rname=Nature}} {{mod=@{selected|nature_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|nature_bonus} ]]}} |Perception, +@{selected|perception_bonus} ]]}} {{rname=Perception}} {{mod=@{selected|perception_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|perception_bonus} ]]}} |Performance, +@{selected|performance_bonus} ]]}} {{rname=Performance}} {{mod=@{selected|performance_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|performance_bonus} ]]}} |Persuasion, +@{selected|persuasion_bonus} ]]}} {{rname=Persuasion}} {{mod=@{selected|persuasion_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|persuasion_bonus} ]]}} |Religion, +@{selected|religion_bonus} ]]}} {{rname=Religion}} {{mod=@{selected|religion_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|religion_bonus} ]]}} |Sleight of Hand, +@{selected|sleight_of_hand_bonus} ]]}} {{rname=Sleight of Hand}} {{mod=@{selected|sleight_of_hand_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|sleight_of_hand_bonus} ]]}} |Stealth, +@{selected|stealth_bonus} ]]}} {{rname=Stealth}} {{mod=@{selected|stealth_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|stealth_bonus} ]]}} |Survival, +@{selected|survival_bonus} ]]}} {{rname=Survival}} {{mod=@{selected|survival_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|survival_bonus} ]]}} |Strength, +@{selected|strength_mod}@{selected|jack_attr}[STR]]]}} {{rname=Strength}} {{mod=@{selected|strength_mod}@{selected|jack_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|strength_mod}@{selected|jack_attr}[STR]]]}} |Dexterity, +@{selected|dexterity_mod}@{selected|jack_attr}[DEX]]]}} {{rname=Dexterity}} {{mod=@{selected|dexterity_mod}@{selected|jack_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|dexterity_mod}@{selected|jack_attr}[DEX]]]}} |Constitution, +@{selected|constitution_mod}@{selected|jack_attr}[CON]]]}} {{rname=Constitution}} {{mod=@{selected|constitution_mod}@{selected|jack_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|constitution_mod}@{selected|jack_attr}[CON]]]}} |Intelligence, +@{selected|intelligence_mod}@{selected|jack_attr}[INT]]]}} {{rname=Intelligence}} {{mod=@{selected|intelligence_mod}@{selected|jack_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|intelligence_mod}@{selected|jack_attr}[INT]]]}} |Wisdom, +@{selected|wisdom_mod}@{selected|jack_attr}[WIS]]]}} {{rname=Wisdom}} {{mod=@{selected|wisdom_mod}@{selected|jack_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|wisdom_mod}@{selected|jack_attr}[WIS]]]}} |Charisma, +@{selected|charisma_mod}@{selected|jack_attr}[CHA]]]}} {{rname=Charisma}} {{mod=@{selected|charisma_mod}@{selected|jack_bonus}}} {{r1=[[ @{selected|d20} + @{selected|charisma_mod}@{selected|jack_attr}[CHA]]]}} } @{selected|global_skill_mod} @{selected|charname_output}

Hmm, nope. Still not getting it to work. Still getting roughly the same errors. And when I test clicking one of the options in the drop down menu the chat entry is empty. (edit: tried as both token macro and none token macro)

Edit: I don't know the templates for shaped sheet, ignore me. Hmm, I have one that is working on my end, can you try this?

Those macros look like they are all for the Roll20 sheet, not the Shaped sheet... that's probably the issue :)

Brb deactivating my account...

The code for Ability checks (and much more) on the Shaped sheet can be found the sheet's settings tab. There is a list of blue buttons on the right hand side. These can be dragged down onto the macro bar (for use on that one specific character), or you can modify them by activating them, pressing the up arrow in chat to get the code and substituting "selected" wherever the character name appears: /w @{selected|character_name} &{template:5e-shaped} {{ability=1}} {{character_name=@{selected|character_name}}} @{selected|show_character_name} {{title=^{ABILITY_CHECKS}}} {{text_big=@{selected|ability_checks_macro_var}}} Edit: Note that this produces a Chat Menu, not a drop down menu. It can probably be adapted without much effort.

Nope. It's a bit more difficult to make a drop down for this on Shaped. I'd still with the built in macros.
