Is there a limit of innline operations for this Macro?

I was working on this Macro-template. (Working formula) /w gm &{template:default} {{name=Modifiers **A:(?{A|}) D:(?{D|})**}} {{Variant1= [[[[?{A|}-1]] * [[?{D|}]] [[-1]]]]}} {{Variant2= [[[[?{A|}-1]] * [[?{D|}]]-[[1]] + [[?{A|}-1]]]]}} {{Variant3= [[[[?{A|}-1]] * [[?{D|}]]-[[1]] + [[?{A|}]]]]}} But  when I tried to add another operation to the formula, [[[[?{A|}-1]] * [[?{D|}]]]]  It broke. (Not Working formula) /w gm &{template:default} {{name=Modifiers **A:(?{A|}) D:(?{D|})**}} {{Variant1= [[[[?{A|}-1]] * [[?{D|}]] [[-1]]]]}} {{Variant2= [[[[?{A|}-1]] * [[?{D|}]]-[[1]] + [[?{A|}-1]]]] [[[[?{A|}-1]] * [[?{D|}]]]]}} {{Variant3= [[[[?{A|}-1]] * [[?{D|}]]-[[1]] + [[?{A|}]]]]}} After trying many different things (Checking if it was syntax/query/positioning problem, etc). I discovered that by adding any other ( in -inline operation) to the formula, the macro breaks. (Example) {{Test= [[[[1]]+[[2]]]]}} /w gm &{template:default} {{name=Modifiers **A:(?{A|}) D:(?{D|})**}} {{Variant1= [[[[?{A|}-1]] * [[?{D|}]] [[-1]]]]}} {{Variant2= [[[[?{A|}-1]] * [[?{D|}]]-[[1]] + [[?{A|}-1]]]]}} {{Variant3= [[[[?{A|}-1]] * [[?{D|}]]-[[1]] + [[?{A|}]]]]}} {{Test= [[[[1]]+[[2]]]]}} ________________________________________ To clarify : If is a normal in-line operation it works just fine. (Example) {{Test= [[1]]+[[2]]}} {{Test= [[1 + 2]]}} Is this a known issue ? Am I missing something ? Please let me know if there is a solution where I can keep the content of the (Not Working) formula in the same macro.

I would try adding space between your inline rolls.  from this [[X]] to [[ X ]].  Sounds silly, but we experienced similar issues with the pathfinder community sheet when iterative attacks were introduced.

A large number of inline rolls does cause a macro to lag badly, even when they are all working properly. I'd look to see if you can remove some of the inline rolls from that expression. I'm thinking some of your inline rolls can be replaced by simple parenthesis.

Also when looking at your code, it looks to me like this contains an error: {{Variant1= [[[[?{A|}-1]] * [[?{D|}]] [[-1]]]]}} That last -1 doesnt need to be in an inline roll, and should that be (?{d}-1) ? Assuming the expression is correct, you can streamline it to: {{Variant1= [[ (?{A}-1) * ?{D} -1 ]] }}

My first pass at your non-working formula (you'll want to check syntax): /w gm &{template:default} {{name=Modifiers **A:(?{A|0}) D:(?{D|0})**}} {{Variant1= [[ (?{A}-1) * ?{D} -1 ]] }} {{Variant2= [[ (?{A}-1) * ?{D}-1 + (?{A}-1)]] [[(?{A}-1) * ?{D}]]}} {{Variant3= [[ (?{A}-1) * ?{D}-1 + ?{A} ]]}}

I'm thinking some of your inline rolls can be replaced by simple parenthesis. Yes , that was one of the assumptions I had in mind at  some point  but I didn't exactly know how to work with simple parenthesis without ruinning the whole code due to my lack of experience.

Assuming the expression is correct, you can streamline it to: {{Variant1= [[ (?{A}-1) * ?{D} -1 ]] }} Yes you are right, at some point I also tried to remove that unnecesary [[-1]] but since it didn't solve the whole problem I forgot to save that change later. Thanks for pointing it out. The expression is correct by the way, I did intend to to do that formula ((A - 1) * (D)) -1 GiGs said: My first pass at your non-working formula (you'll want to check syntax): /w gm &{template:default} {{name=Modifiers **A:(?{A|0}) D:(?{D|0})**}} {{Variant1= [[ (?{A}-1) * ?{D} -1 ]] }} {{Variant2= [[ (?{A}-1) * ?{D}-1 + (?{A}-1)]] [[(?{A}-1) * ?{D}]]}} {{Variant3= [[ (?{A}-1) * ?{D}-1 + ?{A} ]]}} It works great. Thank you for taking the time to solve the problem. I learned a few things that will let me improve

That's great :) Inline rolls are lag-heavy, and it's best to keep the number of them as low as you can get away with.
