Coding question hope someone can help NPC/Player Spell lookup macro

Hi all by no means am I good at coding and all that. But I play around with it and I was wondering if there is a way to have a lookup find how many cantrips, 1 st level ect… spells a NPC or selected player has and have it show in the chat. This is what I have as on now, I wanted to see if you can call up an attribute like “spells_count_cantrip” to get the count of cantrips and have the macro just get that amount so I do not get errors like the one in the screen shot " selected|repeating_spell-cantrip_$4_spellname" . Thanks w gm &{template:default}{{name=@{selected|character_name} Spellcasting }}{{ Spell DC [[@{selected|spell_save_dc}]] = +[[@{selected|spell_attack_bonus}]] spell attacks }}{{ Cantrips = [@{selected|repeating_spell-cantrip_$0_spellname}](~selected|repeating_spell-cantrip_$0_spell)[@{selected|repeating_spell-cantrip_$1_spellname}](~selected|repeating_spell-cantrip_$1_spell) [@{selected|repeating_spell-cantrip_$2_spellname}](~selected|repeating_spell-cantrip_$2_spell) [@{selected|repeating_spell-cantrip_$3_spellname}](~selected|repeating_spell-cantrip_$3_spell) [@{selected|repeating_spell-cantrip_$4_spellname}](~selected|repeating_spell-cantrip_$4_spell) }}{{ 1st (SLOTS) = [@{selected|repeating_spell-1_$0_spellname}](~selected|repeating_spell-1_$0_spell) }}{{ 2nd (SLOTS) = [@{selected|repeating_spell-2_$0_spellname}](~selected|repeating_spell-2_$0_spell) }}{{ 3rd (SLOTS) = [@{selected|repeating_spell-3_$0_spellname}](~selected|repeating_spell-3_$0_spell) }}

Built in? No. But there are scripts that can help. InsertArg can do what you're looking for. You would basically instruct it to get the cantrips (and/or slots), and produce a button for each. InsertArg produces its own menu, so it wouldn't be a roll template anymore. Here is an example where I used it to produce a menu of attributes (which represented character injuries). Another option would be a combination of metascripts like Muler, Plugger, APILogic, ZeroFrame, and Fetch, which could work right in your roll template. The basic idea would be to retrieve a muled variable that would be an APILogic test. If we could Fetch a cantrip at the position of the muled variable (which we would increment at every pass using Plugger), then we would return the API button syntax to the command line *as well as* ANOTHER retrieval of that same variable (which would test the next incremented muled variable). The only way that loop stops is if there isn't a cantrip, so we return nothing. In the end, we've plugged a button into the roll template for each cantrip. If you want an example of that, I can try to put one together tomorrow.

What character sheet are you using? (E.g. ‘D&D 5E by Roll20’ or something else?) Do you want a list of all the spells or just a number of how many spells are known for each level? Do you want a list of all spells or just prepared spells or both? Do you want a non-API solution or an API solution?

Since you're a Pro user you could install the Universal Chat Menu script in the second post here: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7474530/script-call-for-testers-universal-chat-menus/?pagenum=1" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7474530/script-call-for-testers-universal-chat-menus/?pagenum=1</a> Then run a macro like !chatmenu @{selected|character_id} @{selected|character_name}'s Spellcasting --title:Cantrips --repeating_spell-cantrip|spellname|spell --title:1st (SLOTS)&nbsp; --repeating_spell-1|spellname|spell --title:2nd (SLOTS)&nbsp; --repeating_spell-2|spellname|spell --title:3rd (SLOTS)&nbsp; --repeating_spell-3|spellname|spell --title:4th (SLOTS)&nbsp; --repeating_spell-4|spellname|spell --title:5th (SLOTS)&nbsp; --repeating_spell-5|spellname|spell --title:6th (SLOTS)&nbsp; --repeating_spell-6|spellname|spell --title:7th (SLOTS)&nbsp; --repeating_spell-7|spellname|spell --title:8th (SLOTS)&nbsp; --repeating_spell-8|spellname|spell --title:9th (SLOTS)&nbsp; --repeating_spell-9|spellname|spell It should only show sections for which spells actually exist.

Thanks for all the info, l as for API I'm not that up to date on how to go about that. Slowly teaching myself how that all works. So anything will help. Thanks timmaugh said: Built in?

Do you want a list of all spells or just prepared spells or both? Do you want a non-API solution or an API solution? For a non-API solution, you can use this Universal NPC Statblock macro &nbsp;for prepared spells.&nbsp; Caveat: For the ‘prepared spells macro’, you must create a character named 'DIV' with an attribute named 'sel' with '@{selected' in the current value.&nbsp; And you'll have to call it from a macro in order to not get any error messages, because of Roll20 Order of Operations.
