Secret Saving Throws

There was a macro for 5e-shaped that sent a whisper to players asking them to roll saves and gave them buttons. I tried to convert it to the regular D&D 5e by Roll20 template, but was having problems, so I started from scratch. Here's what I ended up making:  /w @{selected|token_name} [Strength Save](~selected|strength_save) [Dexterity Save](~selected|dexterity_save) [Constitution Save](~selected|constitution_save) [Intelligence Save](~selected|intelligence_save) [Wisdom Save](~selected|wisdom_save) [Charisma Save](~selected|charisma_save) [Death Save](~selected|death_save) This allows the players to access the saves in the chat, but the problem I was having is that I wanted the buttons to make the rolls gm rolls, but they only use the player's settings. Is there a way to force the button/ macro's settings over the player's sheet settings? Thanks in advance!

Hi Stephen M.,  No, if it is referencing the sheet's settings then it will use those.  The way to do this is to create a Macro Mule, then put the various save templates in the mule as Ability macros.  Next, you modify the templates to whisper, use selected, etc.  Finally, you use your above macro to call the Macro Mule versions instead of the selected versions.  Note: you will want to give your players control over but not let them see the Macro Mule. This will prevent them from being able to modify the Ability macros while still allowing them to use the macros. 
Thank you!
