Variable output question?

I'm trying to output a text variable for a spell. in this instance it's the spell "Summon Swarm" from DnD 3.5. the options are Bats, Rats, or Spiders and I want to make it so that I can choose witch one is printed in the macro. is there a way to do this?

This can be done very simply with a query - something like ?{summon|Bats|Rats|Spiders} where you want the text to output. You can put whatever text you want in the query options, separated by pipes, though bear in mind commas have a special function in queries, so you'll have to replace any commas that might occur in text with , - the query passes over that and then turns that into a normal comma.

That didn't work

Can you copy and paste the macro that you tried here? The query should work. Also, what character sheet do you use?

I figured out what I was doing wrong with the output I had written it as ?{summon = |rats|bats|Spiders} when the full line needed to be written like this {summon = ?{summon|rats|bats|spiders}} I'm using the provided DnD3.5 Character sheet
