Need help making a simple macro

So I thought I'd ask you guys because I have no idea how this works myself. Basicly I want to make a simple script for attack rolls for a system that I'm working on. This system will work with strength. What I want is for the script to roll a D20 and add your strength to the roll. For example: 1. You have 2 strength. 2. You click the macro to roll a D20 (you role a 17) 3. In chat you see "17 + 2 = 19" How would I go about doing this?

"Scripts" are in the realm of API, and thus Mentor status is needed. You can still so this in a macro using the @{selected|"attribute name here"}. The macro would look like this: /roll 1d20 + @{selected|strength} This is assuming your character has an attribute named strength of course. All your statistics names and values will be in your Attributes and Abilities panel for the character. @{selected} functions when a token is "selected." You can also use @{target|"stat"} and the macro will prompt you to click a target rather then having to have it selected before the macro is clicked. Hope this answers your question.

/r d20+2 That's how you do it if you know the Strength is 2. If you wanted it to read the Strength off the Character Sheet, that would be a bit more complicated, but can also be done.

It's important to note also that in a macro attached to a character, you don't need selected or target, you can just use @{strength} if there is a strength attribute.

Aaron said: It's important to note also that in a macro attached to a character, you don't need selected or target, you can just use @{strength} if there is a strength attribute. Good to know.

I very strongly recommend you read the dice reference. <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Dice_Reference" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Dice_Reference</a> It goes over everything you need to know about using dice rolls in Roll20

Thank you! It's working how I want it now! Thanks a bunch! One more question, but this one might be asking too much: Is there a way to play a sound from the audio library while using this macro? /roll 1d20 + @{selected|strength} + playSound{Punch} Or something?

Nope, not even with the API.

Alright, gotcha!
