So what i am trying to do is make a HP Regeneration system for my game. Im fairly new to macros, and i just cant seem to figure this out. I have the tokens health linked to the character HP stats, So i tried @{character name|HP} +5 but that didnt seem to change the value of the characters HP. Help would be greatly appreciated.

The macro system is unable to edit values. You won't be able to change the data on your sheet/tokens with just macros. If you were to upgrade your account to Mentor status, you would have access to the API which is infinitely more flexible. It's up to you whether its worth the buy-in to support Roll20 and get access to the cool toys, though.

API is worth the $99 a year. You are going to spend money on table topping anyways, might as well pay for something worth it.
