Rolling from a table X amount of times and displaying the results seperately

Hi Macro Masters. I am looking for a bit of macro advice, Is there a way to roll X amount of times from a table using a query and displaying each table roll separately? to further complicate the matter I am hoping to perform this from 2 different tables with different amount of dice used from each. I currently have: &{template:default} {{name=Ability/skill dice}} {{Results=[[[[?{how many dice|0}]]t[Alien-TTRPG-Base-Dice] ]] }} &{template:default} {{name=Stress Dice}} {{Results=[[[[?{how many Stress dice|0}]]t[Alien-TTRPG-Stress-Dice] ]] }} which kind of works, but I need to be able to see how many 6's are rolled on the first set and how many 6's and 1's are rolled on the second set of dice at a glance.

This is one place where the difference between a roll (/r) and the inline roll brackets come into play.&nbsp; You will probably need to move those rolls out into a regular roll, with maybe an /me header if you want for some sort of ability/skill or stress dice header.&nbsp; Then your dice rolls would look like: /r ?{how many dice|0}]]t[Alien-TTRPG-Base-Dice] and /r ?{how many Stress dice|0}]]t[Alien-TTRPG-Stress-Dice] Those should show each result in the output without having to mouse over the result to see. The /me is demonstrated on the wiki: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros#Multiple_commands" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros#Multiple_commands</a> Edit: I forgot the /r on the second example.

I'll give this a go, thanks. I was hoping to keep it all nice and neat in a template, but if that doesn't pan out, so be it :)

Hmm, without using some kind of API, I don't think it will be possible to individually display a variable number of dice in a template. The new ScriptCards script has some ability to use variables, loops, and conditionals, or a custom script could be written. I'm not familiar with the Alien TTRPG mechanics, though. What are the items in the rollable table? Numbers? Pictures? A brief Google search makes it seem like they are just d6's.&nbsp;

yeah they are images of special d6's&nbsp;

thanks for all your help I ended up with /r ?{how many dice?|0}t[Alien-TTRPG-Base-Dice] /r ?{how many stress dice?|0}t[Alien-TTRPG-Stress-Dice] it is a little messy in the chat, but that's fine.

You can pass that through RecursiveTable to get nicer output for multiple results from a rollable table.&nbsp;

The Aaron said: You can pass that through RecursiveTable to get nicer output for multiple results from a rollable table.&nbsp; I have recursive tables but it was just adding all the results together, but I used !rt[Delimiter:BR|PrefaceUniqueSpace] &amp;{template:default}{{name=Treasure Bundles}}[[5t[treasure-bundle]]] as a template to separate the results, but I probably made a mistake somewhere. Edit:&nbsp; I gave a go at using the show icons using: !rt[showicons] [[?{how many dice?|0}t[Alien-TTRPG-Base-Dice] ]] but that just puts out a number in the chat bar.

Try this: !rt[Delimiter:BR|PrefaceUniqueSpace] &amp;{template:default}{{name=Treasure Bundles}}{{[[5t[treasure-bundle]]]}} Or this: !rt[Delimiter:}}{{|PrefaceUniqueSpace] &amp;{template:default}{{name=Treasure Bundles}}{{[[5t[treasure-bundle]]]}}

Do you have images on the table rows? !rt[showicons] [[5t[Woods-Tile-1]]]

Are your table item "names" actually numbers? For me, seems like if they are numbers it adds them, but if the names are text or blank, it outputs the icons.

is it possible to change the [[5t[treasure-bundle]]] to&nbsp; [[?{how many dice?|0}t[treasure-bundle]]] at all? or will this not work?

David M. said: Are your table item "names" actually numbers? For me, seems like if they are numbers it adds them, but if the names are text or blank, it outputs the icons. Ah that could be the issue, Ill have a look!

All sorted, thank you all very much, the dice rolls are nice and big and can be read at a glance. much appreciated

Aaron M. said: is it possible to change the [[5t[treasure-bundle]]] to&nbsp; [[?{how many dice?|0}t[treasure-bundle]]] at all? or will this not work? Yeah, you can do that.&nbsp; That's all client side.&nbsp; The important part is wrapping it in {{ }}.&nbsp; And using }} {{ for a separator if you want that look.&nbsp; You could have your table rows contain the {{ }} part if you wanted also. Numbers is definitely the problem, thanks David!&nbsp; I'll have to see if I can fix that.&nbsp; In the meantime, you can add a space after the number and it will work fine:

Nice!&nbsp; You can add [Delimiter: ] to get rid of the , between them. !rt[ShowIcons|iconLabel:off|Delimiter: ][[5t[some-table]]] You might also like adding Sort to have the dice appear together in groups.

EDIT - Ninja'd! If you use TheAaron's "# " (number followed by a space) trick for the names, you can also add the sort option. Might be a little easier to compare if there are many dice? !rt[showicons|sort] [[?{How many dice?|1}t[Alien-TTRPG-Base-Dice]]] EDIT 2 - But looks like you have to include the icon label for that to work?

Btw TheAaron, while !rt --help is complete, the Options listed in the one-click description section appear to be missing the last 3 entries ( ShowIcons,&nbsp; IconLabel,&nbsp; IconScale ).

Yeah, I need to fix that.. which I'll do by just saying "run the help" or linking to the thread. =D

Haha, fair enough! I only noticed because I was today years old when I learned that ShowIcons was a thing after reading this thread :)

I'll have a look at sorting the results tomorrow. Is there a way to report the results of the roll? As the game is essentially concerned with rolls of 6 on one table and with rolls of 1 or 6 on the other.&nbsp; So after the roll report something like Successes and rolled (6) = 3 Failures rolled (stress only, 1) = 4 Difference = -1 failure Or&nbsp; Successes and rolled (6) = 3 Failures rolled (stress only, 1) = 2 Difference = +1 Success. This would be the cherry atop the cake if possible but I also realise this is likely asking a lot from the macro and is not a necessary component for the game, just an aid to laziness while playing =-)

Sorting is probably as close as you can come with RecursiveTable.&nbsp;

The Aaron said: Sorting is probably as close as you can come with RecursiveTable.&nbsp; Fair enough, the players will cope I am sure.

If it does become a hindrance, something custom could be created.&nbsp; It also might not be too difficult to add tallying into the output from RecursiveTable, just have to figure out what that would look like.

The Aaron said: If it does become a hindrance, something custom could be created.&nbsp; It also might not be too difficult to add tallying into the output from RecursiveTable, just have to figure out what that would look like. I am sure it will be fine. Honestly, this is our first time playing Alien TTRPG and just looking for some of the obvious QoL things that can be quickly knocked up with macros.&nbsp; as an aside, does the sixe of the image in the table determine the size of the image output in the chat, if I use photoshop or GIMP to scale the image size would that make a difference at all? David M. said: EDIT - Ninja'd! If you use TheAaron's "# " (number followed by a space) trick for the names, you can also add the sort option. Might be a little easier to compare if there are many dice? !rt[showicons|sort] [[?{How many dice?|1}t[Alien-TTRPG-Base-Dice]]] EDIT 2 - But looks like you have to include the icon label for that to work? !rt[showicons|iconlabel:off|sort|Delimiter: ] [[?{how many dice?|0}t[Alien-TTRPG-Base-Dice]]] !rt[showicons|iconlabel:off|sort|Delimiter: ] [[?{how many stress?|0}t[Alien-TTRPG-Stress-Dice]]] works really well, I needed to add an icon label but it can be hidden in the output and still be sorted, so realistically you can call them anything you want if they are hidden.

The size is controlled by IconScale: !rt[showicons|iconlabel:off|sort|Delimiter: | IconScale:10em ] [[?{how many stress?|0}t[Alien-TTRPG-Stress-Dice]]] You can use any valid CSS setting for size.&nbsp; em is nice because it scales with the font, so players that might be increasing the font size for readability will get a larger image, but you could restrict it to a given pixel size with something like 200px, etc. As a side note, the API doesn't have access to the attributes of the images, so it can't natively tell how big a particular image is.

I must have missed the icon scale option as I was looking through. Many thanks

Looks like you have a workable solution! I've been looking for opportunities to play around with Kurt J.'s new ScriptCards script (kind of a light procedural macro language interpreter?), and I used your case as another learning opportunity for me. It can't use your awesome dice and the vertically stacked roll output might be a little off-putting, but it does what I asked it to at least (as far as I understand how the system works). A custom script would have been easier to write, honestly, but like I said I just wanted to play around with the new ScriptCards :) The macro queries for the two dice pools, performs the comparisons, and outputs a final result in addition to the individual rolls. &nbsp;&nbsp; If you are interested, his script can be manually installed from the link above and then this would be the macro to run it. Don't worry, I won't feel bad if you don't like it. I'm only sharing just in case! !scriptcard {{ --#title|AlienTTRPG Rolls --#leftsub|Num Dice ?{Num Dice?|1} --#rightsub|Num Stress Dice ?{Num Stress Dice?|0} --:User Input and Initialize Vars| --=NumDice|?{Num Dice?} --=NumStressDice|?{Num Stress Dice?} --=DisplayCount|1 --=NumSuccess|0 --=NumFail|0 --:Roll Header1| --+[#990000]___ROLLS[/#]| --:RollLoop| _recursive loop_ --&gt;MainRoll| _call function_ --=DisplayCount|[$DisplayCount] + 1 --?[$DisplayCount] -le [$NumDice]|RollLoop --:Reset Counter| --=DisplayCount|1 --:Roll Header2| --+[#990000]___STRESS ROLLS[/#]| --?[$NumStressDice] -le 0|&gt;NA --:StressLoop| _recursive loop_ --?[$NumStressDice] -le 0|CalcsAndSummaryDisplay --&gt;StressRoll| _call function_ --=DisplayCount|[$DisplayCount] + 1 --?[$DisplayCount] -le [$NumStressDice]|StressLoop --:CalcsAndSummaryDisplay| --+[#990000]___SUMMARY[/#]| --+Successes|[$NumSuccess] --+Failures|[$NumFail] --=Diff|[$NumSuccess] - [$NumFail] --+Difference|[$Diff] --?[$Diff] -gt 0|OverallSuccess --?[$Diff] -le 0|OverallFailure --X|Exit macro --:MainRoll| _function_ --=Roll|1d6 --?[$Roll.Total] -eq 6|&gt;AddSuccess --+Roll|[$DisplayCount.Total] [$Roll] --&lt;| --:StressRoll| _function_ --=Roll|1d6 --?[$Roll.Total] -eq 6|&gt;AddSuccess --?[$Roll.Total] -eq 1|&gt;AddFail --+Stress Roll|[$DisplayCount.Total] [$Roll] --&lt;| --:AddSuccess| _function_ --=NumSuccess|[$NumSuccess] + 1 --&lt;| --:AddFail| _function_ --=NumFail|[$NumFail] + 1 --&lt;| --:OverallSuccess| _function_ --+[#990000]___RESULT[/#]| --+[c][#009900]~~~SUCCESS~~~[/#][/c]| --X|Exit macro --&lt;| --:OverallFailure| _function_ --+[#990000]___RESULT[/#]| --+[c][#990000]~~~FAILURE~~~[/#][/c]| --X|Exit macro --&lt;| --:NA| _function_ --+N/A| --&lt;| }} If I had to do it over again (I wouldn't, haha!), I would probably have changed it to a series of conditionals that output all the rolls of each pool on the same line. But, that would require knowing the max number of dice that could be rolled.

That looks awesome I'll have a look at it later, because it does look very tidy and would be suited to some of the other things needed later on in the game I think. As for the max number of dice that could be rolled well that is 10 for the base dice. But there is no upper limit for stress dice, but a player that gets to 14 stress is guaranteed to roll the maximum result on the panic table they needed to roll off against ifnthey get a failure which would make them catatonic (which of course if this happens when a Xenomorph is around it likely equates to death) On another completely off topic note. How do you guys get the grey box around your code?

FYI, Kurt has been making updates to Scriptcards that easily solved the multi-line problem. There's also fledgling rollable table image support, but don't think it can currently put multiple images on one line ( ...yet ). It's still a work in progress. I've been using your scenario to test out new features as they're rolled out ;) In the meantime, here's a version that looks a little cleaner, imo: !scriptcard {{ --#title|AlienTTRPG Rolls --#leftsub|Num Dice ?{Num Dice?|1} --#rightsub|Num Stress Dice ?{Num Stress Dice?|0} --:Initialize Vars| --=NumDice|?{Num Dice?} --=NumStressDice|?{Num Stress Dice?} --=NumSuccess|0 --=NumFail|0 --:Main Dice Block| --+[#990000]ROLLS[/#]| --=DieCount|0 --:MainLoop| --=DieCount|[$DieCount] + 1 --&gt;RollMain| --?[$DieCount] -lt [$NumDice]|MainLoop --+|[r][&amp;DieOutput][/r] --:Stress Dice Block| --+[#990000]STRESS[/#]| --?[$NumStressDice] -eq 0|&gt;NA --?[$NumStressDice] -eq 0|EvaluationBlock --=DieCount|0 --:StressLoop| --&gt;RollStress| --=DieCount|[$DieCount] + 1 --?[$DieCount] -lt [$NumStressDice]|StressLoop --+|[r][&amp;StressOutput][/r] --:EvaluationBlock| --+[#990000]EVALUATION[/#]| --:Output Success and Failure counts| --+|[r][b]Successes=[$NumSuccess][/b][/r] --+|[r][b]Failures=[$NumFail][/b][/r] --:Compare rolls| --=Diff|[$NumSuccess] - [$NumFail] --+|[r][b]Difference[$Diff][/b][/r] --+[#990000]RESULT[/#]| --:Output Overall Success or Failure| --?[$Diff] -gt 0|OverallSuccess --?[$Diff] -le 0|OverallFailure --X| End macro --:FUNCTIONS| --:NA| --+|[r][b]N/A[/b][/r] --&lt;| --:RollMain| --=ThisRoll|1d6 --?[$ThisRoll.Total] -eq 6|&gt;AddSuccess --&amp;DieOutput|+[$ThisRoll] --&lt;| --:RollStress| --=ThisRoll|1d6 --?[$ThisRoll.Total] -eq 6|&gt;AddSuccess --?[$ThisRoll.Total] -eq 1|&gt;AddFail --&amp;StressOutput|+[$ThisRoll] --&lt;| --:AddSuccess| --=NumSuccess|[$NumSuccess] + 1 --&lt;| --:AddFail| --=NumFail|[$NumFail] + 1 --&lt;| --:OverallSuccess| --+[c][#009900]~~~SUCCESS~~~[/#][/c]| --X| --&lt;| --:OverallFailure| --+[c][#ff0000]~~~FAILURE~~~[/#][/c]| --X| }}

Eureka! Kurt just put out another update that allows the graphics to be put in a single line. This was a lot of fun! Can't wait to use what I learned in some of my own applications. Note: You will have to replace the table names "AlienD6" and AlienStressD6" with your table names in the functions&nbsp;RollBase and&nbsp;RollStress about 3/4 of the way down below. Also, you can change the size of the dice graphics by changing the instances of [img width=32] with whatever value you want (also in the same two functions). Finally, you will have to be sure that each table entry name includes only numbers .

Hi again, new question that is sort of similar to this one, I am making a name generator that provides a 3 part name for an NPC so for male names I use this. !rt /w gm [[1t[male-names]]] [[1t[male-names]]] [[1t[Surnames]]] and for female names: !rt /w gm [[1t[female-names]]] [[1t[feamle-names]]] [[1t[Surnames]]] but my players like to ask almost everybody what there name is so I need to run the macro multiple times, I thought /w gm [[?{how many male names do you wish to generate?|1|2|3|4|5|10}[!&amp;#13;#Male-name-Generator ]]] /w gm [[?{how many female names do you wish to generate?|1|2|3|4|5|10}[!&amp;#13;#Female-name-Generator ]]] would work but it just puts up a number in the chat box, I know I am missing something obvious here, but can you tell me what exactly please. much appreciated Aaron.

Unfortunately table calls in an inline roll only ever report the first result. If you did /gmroll&nbsp;?{how many male names do you wish to generate?|1|2|3|4|5|10}t[male-names] ?{how many male names do you wish to generate?}t[male-names] ?{how many male names do you wish to generate?}t[Surnames] Will probably give you what you need&nbsp; (though probably not in the right order). As a Pro user, I suggest trying Scriptcards. It's looping function should allow you to have them order properly.

Depending on how wild you want to go with your rollable tables, I created tables for multiple languages and styles, and then created a macro each for Feminine and Masculine names.&nbsp; Each time I roll it, I am getting a first and family name in 10 languages, a "savage" 3 syllable name, a 2 part tribal name, and a selection of epithets "the Valiant, "the Scabrous", etc.&nbsp; Most of the rollable tables have 80+ entries on them, making repetition on any of the tables pretty rare (I think I avoided having any repeat names in different languages also). But you only go that far if you really don't want to ever have to think about a name ever again.&nbsp; Just hit a button, pick something that strikes your fancy, and then tweak it, mix languages, or use one as it displayed.

And you could actually use it as a name generator for some really odd culture somewhere.&nbsp; I like it.

Writing a macro for this with recursive tables will be nice and easy, but compiling the lists for each separate part will be a drag, even with TableExport it'll be a long job. Thank god for Excel and Concatenate hey!
