Custom Sheet: Multiplying two fields that are dice rolls...

Okay, I have two fields that receive dice (1D6, 1D8, etc). I need the two fields to be multiplied.   Field 1 = 1D6 Field 2 = 1D12 These fields are manually filled. As a macro it works. In the chat box I can simply do [[1D6*1D12]] and that works. But not in javascript Here's the on(change I have for it. // Watching for when rangedweapon change on('change:rangedWeapon change:rangedDamage change:rangedHitBonus change:rangedPenetrationPlus change:rangedRoF change:rangedAmmunition change:rangedAmmunition_max change:rangedRange change:rangedSkill change:ranged_rf', function(eventInfo) {     getAttrs(['rangedWeapon', 'rangedDamage', 'rangedHitBonus', 'rangedPenetrationPlus', "rangedRoF", "rangedAmmunition", 'rangedAmmunition_max', 'rangedRange', 'rangedSkill',], function(values) {         let textToChat = "&{template:default}";          textToChat = textToChat.concat(" {{name=" + values.rangedWeapon + "}}");         textToChat = textToChat.concat(" {{Hit= [[1d20+" + values.rangedHitBonus + "]]}}");         textToChat = textToChat.concat(" {{Damage= [[" + values.rangedDamage + "]]}}"); // in this section I was trying to add 2 lines, first for the attack roll, the 2nd to add the damage // //     textToChat = textToChat.concat(" {{Rapid Fire= [[1d20+" + values.rangedHitBonus + "]]}}"); //     textToChat = textToChat.concat(" {{Damage= [[" + values.rangedDamage * values.ranged_rf + "]]}}"); // I couldn't get it to work, because I don't know the lingo to multiply in this specific syntax!!!         textToChat = textToChat.concat(" {{Penetration= " + values.rangedPenetrationPlus + "}}");         textToChat = textToChat.concat(" {{Ammunition= " + String(parseInt(values.rangedAmmunition)-1) + " / " + values.rangedAmmunition_max + "}}");         console.log(textToChat);         setAttrs({ rangedRoll :         textToChat });     }); }); Thanks in advance!

what if you quote "*" like so? textToChat = textToChat.concat(" {{Damage= [[" + values.rangedDamage + "*" + values.ranged_rf + "]]}}"); Treat the asterisk like text.

You also might consider using template literals which would make your macros a little easier to construct in js. (uses backticks instead of quotes and use a ${var} format to call variables)  Which should look a little closer to how we write these macros in roll20. Like so; textToChat = textToChat.concat(`{{Damage = [[${rangedDamage}*${ranged_rf}]]}}`);

My sheet looks like this: Note the Damage box and the R.F. Box And the chat box result of clicking on "Fire" which should spit out both just damage & damge * R.F. fields.

Like so; textToChat = textToChat.concat(`{{Damage = [[${rangedDamage}*${ranged_rf}]]}}`); That was it! Well, kinda.  I used @ instead of $ textToChat = textToChat.concat(`{{Damage = [[@{rangedDamage}*@{ranged_rf}]]}}`); Thank you!!!!

  lol.  @{...} would call the attribute directly and I suppose that works just as well. maybe one of the js gurus can explain why the template literal wasn't grabbing the the appropriate values as well...?

That'd be nice! I tried the $ first and it didn't take... wonky

If you were just doing this: textToChat = textToChat.concat(`{{Damage = [[${rangedDamage}*${ranged_rf}]]}}`); You need to get the attribute values from the values object: textToChat = textToChat.concat(`{{Damage = [[${values.rangedDamage}*${values.ranged_rf}]]}}`);

"values object" I knew/know that...  My js experience in a nutshell. ;-)  thanks Scott
