Chat menu macro rolls organisation

Hi all,  Hoping I’m just being daft but.... currently about to start a Star Wars D6 campaign. To save having to go backwards and forwards to character sheet all the time I’m wanting to do a chat menu for the skills, but organised by ability. So Dex-roll Dex in a header box with the 5 skills under it, then Mec-roll Mec then the mec skills under it ect. Am I missing something for how to do this?

First make a character sheet called ‘Macros’, or what have you. Set it to be controlled by all players (but not shown in player’s journals).  Make a Macro called ‘DX-Skills’. Tag it to Show in macro bar on or Show as token action, as you prefer. Make it Visible to all players. The text inside should be: [SkillA](~Macros|SkillA)[SkillB](~Macros|SkillB) On the 'Macros' character sheet make Abilities called SkillA, etc. to contain the actual skill macros, probably using @{selected|Attribute} calls. Now, clicking the macro bar / token action will print two buttons in chat, labeled SkillA and SkillB. Or perhaps you want all the skill buttons printed at the same time but sorted in particular order, with text in between? Then just call the macro ‘Skills’ and make the text something like: **DX Skills:** [SkillA](~Macros|SkillA)[SkillB](~Macros|SkillB) **Social Skills:** [SkillC](~Macros|SkillC)[SkillD](~Macros|SkillD)

No, don't think you're missing anything. There is a wiki page with the examples of how to do a Chat Menu , but it's a bit short, and I haven't done anything like it for either Star Wars D6 sheet. Given that the skills are coming from a repeating section, it's a bit harder to call them than normal buttons, but I added a link to the wiki page on how those could be constructed <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Chat_Menus#Repeating_Sections" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Chat_Menus#Repeating_Sections</a> When you end up figuring it out, your chat menu code could be added to the wiki and/or the sheet itself. (I'm the sheet author so can do it easily) <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Star_Wars_WEG_D6_character_sheet" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Star_Wars_WEG_D6_character_sheet</a>
The **label** hopefully will do what I’m after and I can add it to the wiki if folks think it’s wanted!! I’ll put it together tonight hopefully and see what you think!
