Magic Missile "Without Sheet" Macro

Hello, everyone! I'm attempting to add a Macro for Magic Missile that will calculate: (1 Missiles fired (2 Damage per missile (3 Total damage.  I've attempted to use the default given in the CommunityWiki under 5E_Macros but I'm unable to get a consistent and accurate Total Damage. Any ideas? /em hits their targets with [[?{Level cast at|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9}+2]] magic missiles. Total damage is: [[[[1d4+1]]*?{Level cast at}]] Each missile does $[[0]] force damage. 
I have an overly complicated macro for magic missile I can dig up for you tomorrow - it asks the level you cast it at, then asks you to assign missiles to targets until you've assigned all, and then rolls damage for each target at the end. But I don't see how the above wouldn't give consistent results if you rule the damage of all missiles to be resolved with a single roll, rather than each missile being rolled separately (which is how my macro resolves it). What do you mean by the total damage being inaccurate?
Appreciate the expedient reply! When I test this macro, I often get something like "hits their targets with  3  [rolling 1+2 = 1+2] magic missiles. Total damage is:  4 [rolling 4*1 = 4*1]  Each missile does  3 [rolling 1+2 = 1+2]  force damage." The math ain't mathing. 
Oh, I see what the issues with this macro are now, replace the $[[0]] with $[[1]], and *?{level cast at} with *(?{level cast at} + 2) and it should work. Someone was a little sloppy writing that.
Success! Thank you, Tuo!
