I've noticed another issue with our campaign. Our party is using scripts for the first time, but we did copy and paste in the above script into the API section and it seemed to take. The macros I have created that use power cards work fine for a bit, but it seems like if I reconnect to roll20 or anything, my power card macros no longer work. There is no error, nothing. If I do a test macro of !power --name|Test it won't display anything. I didn't find much as far as setup for this goes, so I may be missing an important part.

You'd have to check the api section to see why it is stopping.

As a routine, whenever i start a new session, I always open the API window (and keep it open during the session) to verify the sandbox (API) is running. If not i start it. If at anytime during the session it appears the api is not working i simply open the tab that contains the API debug screen and restart it if it needs.

Keep in mind that your api sandbox can actually crash on the server side (due to things outside your control) without you doing anything. So checking that the sandbox is running is standard startup for all my sessions. Perhaps others don't seem to have these issues, but they happen to me, although it happens far less now than it used to.

Same here. I'm not that great at idiot error proofing my scripts. I crash them all the time and I should know what does and does not crash them, lol.

Is there progress on adapting this script to allow for 'only reroll once'? I honestly can't remember if someone said they were working on that.

I could, but since Riley posted the re-roll once dice mechanic suggestion... I have a feeling it is going to be added officially and won't require an api hack.

It isn't meant to work that way. The crit tags do absolutely no math. Just put HR12 if that's what their crit rating is. Or do [HR@{CritFormula}] and put your crit stuff on the character sheet.

It looks like there should be a way to use this without using tokens but either I am doing something wrong (likely) or I am misunderstanding it. Whenever I try to use the @character_id it does not seem to be working for me.

Here is what I am sending that appears to work just fine:
!power --emote|Test --name|Testing --attack|[[d20]]

This does not work:
!power --emote|Test --charid|@{character_id} --name|Testing --attack|[[d20]]

I get this error - No character was found for 'character_id' which makes me think I am supposed to supply the actual character ID in the macro, but I am not sure how the players are supposed to get that and enter it into all of their macros.

If the macro is a token macro it will resolve character id. If it isn't you can use @{selected|character_id} and it will resolve the currently selected token

What if you do not use tokens at all?

I think you can do @{Bob|character_id} to get the Id for a character named Bob. Does that help?

@{character_id} will work whether or not you have a token selected, as long as it is a character sheet macro. It will only not work if it is a generic campaign macro on the campaign settings tab. That is when you would have to supply a name for the macro to find.

I've been manually adding --charid|@{selected|character_id} after the emotes on all of the character's powers so their token shows up in the chat window, and now that I'm done, it occurs to me that I should have asked here if there is a way to make that a default action when importing a character. That was a lot of typing, especially with seven characters in my campaign at level 7. Is there currently a way to have that be automatically added to the powers when importing a character? Maybe when they level up it will be less work! Is that already built in and I missed it?

Thanks!

You could add a line to the character importer script to add that to the macros when imported pretty easy. I didn't even think to include it because the use of the new emotes is a little buggy with the way it sometimes throws in a blank line with a colon : at the beginning. I really, really, really, really wish we could turn that shit off.

Hi guys

Sorry to bother you.
...but I'm trying to run some basic power card but with no results. Could you please help me answering the next questions
Is there any specific place I have to use/put the code ?
Do I have to consider a power card as a macro or what ?
Do I have to import the initial huge script shown at the beginning of the post in order to be executed ?
Do I have to be a DM to create one ?

Hi Ivano,

These scripts use the Roll20 API, which is a Mentor level feature. If you aren't a mentor (and you don't have the flag next to your name, so I'm guessing you aren't), you'll need to subscribe as a Mentor in order to use them.

Once you are a mentor, you go to Show Details on your campaign, and click API Scripts. Place the source of the script in a new tab and click save. If you aren't the DM of your campaign, then your DM needs to be a Mentor and needs to install the script in the campaign. Once it is available, players can freely execute scripts.

Hope that Helps!

Maptool is a great program, and if you like configuring your router, messing with settings, are familiar with computer stuff, and dont mind having just a few people to game with, it is the thing for you.

It doesn't have 100,000+ people on it a day though, so it must not be perfect.

Here I have been able to simulate or improve nearly everything I did in maptool, except the additional invisible layer (minor thing)

PowerCard script give me something I can't recall being available in Maptool. I love this script!

Actually I wrote a similar D&D 4e framework for MapTool a long time ago. Used a separate popup window just for power cards/attacks. I may still have some screenshots in my pc at home for comparison. Will look in the morning.

HoneyBadger, yeah, I see the colon on every other activation of a macro using the power card script. Since it has so much other awesomeness however, I just ignore it. Is it a quick add to put the --charid string in the importer script? I have not the skills to know where or how to implement it.

Aaron, I just found your script. I'll look at it to see if I can understand how you implemented it. Thanks to both of you!

Quick question. Is it possible to make something like this work inside a powercard output?
/r 1d100>[[@{selected|spell-fail}]]

but when I try something like;
!power --name|@{selected|character_name} --Result|1d100>[[@{selected|spell-fail}]]

It doesn't roll the 1d100, or do the comparison.
Thanks

The part of interest is on line 73, in the function validateAndRepairAbility(), which is called both on add:ability and change:ability:action. It looks through each line of the ability, and if it matches the API command, it replaced the id passed to the script. In your case, you'd want to match the API command and look for --charid. Hope that helps!

Yeah... it's easy enough. If you use regular emotes and not the one that uses the charid, it avoids the extra colon showing up.

I couldn't figure out a way to get that working inside of a Powercard either, not sure what it is failing on, or if simply handling success is not within the scope of the script.

I think it has to be something like:

--Result|[[{1d100}>@{selected|spell-fail}]]

Certainly, all dice you want rolled must be in [[ ]] and I think > must operate on a group in { }.

I tried this as well, I think that the problem is that the "spell-fail" field is an auto-calculated field, so when you attempt to use the above I get:

SyntaxError: Expected [0-9] but "(" found.

Ah... that makes sense. Probably there isn't a direct way around that with the inline dice syntax. You could write a script that monitors attributes and maintains an evaluated copy of spell-fail that could be used in formulae like the above, but would be kept up to date whenever it changes. Or I could write that for you. =D

LOL, Kevin. I thought you may have dealt with this one before... Just going through the "PF-powercard-friendly" sheet you sent me. I came to the conclusion pretty fast that there was a reason that roll hadn't been given !power.

It's not that big of a deal Aaron. It's easy enough to just post the roll inside a powercard without the comparison and let us mere humans determine the outcome visually.

Updates

  • October 18th, 2014 ~ 3:40 pm eastern: Added ability to parse URLS/Links
    • Format: @@url||link text@@
    • Example: @@http://www.google.com||Google@@
    • You must enable this explicitly in the script itself using ALLOW_URLS and ALLOW_HIDDEN_URLS. This option is a use at your own risk kind of option since I'm not great at making sure input is sanitized or idiot proof.

HoneyBadger, or any other big brain code monkeys that sees the Matrix.

A while back you had posted about having the "monsters status cards" show up in the chat, have you or anyone else came up with away to do this?

All I see in the matrix is green lines of code, but it looks like HB's power card script could be modified to display the monster status in chat.

I have a DDI account and could export the ".monster files" and have for many of the monsters I use, but it"s very mouse click based and slow.

I all so have all the DDI power cards and creature cards in html format and love to have an importer for that format if it possible?


Here is my current solution for being up a green monster card, you need to be logged into your dndinsider account to use it. I open this file into a new window and reference it as needed.

Below is dndinsider table of content for every official monster with their links to the green cards. I would love if could use this in roll20 some how.
