Need help with a macro

I created a witchbolt macro for my games wizard. I want to add a condition marker so he won't forget he cast the spell and will use his bonus witch bolt action in following turns. My macro works just fine but the condition marker I want to use doesn't get added to the character token. I'm not sure what I am doing incorrectly.  My macro is shown below. Any help would be appreciated. I am using jumpgate and the D&D 2024 character sheet. &{template:default}  {{name=WitchBolt for@{selected|character_name} }}{{[[?{SpellLevel?|0}d12+1d12}]] lightning damage. Take that you miscreant loser!}} !token-mod --set statusmarkers|lightning-helix /fx beam-water @{target|Caster|token_id} @{target|Foe|token_id}

Hi Steve! Some quick preliminary questions You can set that token marker manually? Does the token-mod command work if just sent all by itself and is not part of a larger macro? Is his token selected when the macro is run?

I think the issue is that the @{target} syntax renders the message object to no longer have a selected token. Even though they are on different lines (the /fx command that contains the @{target} syntax and the TokenMod command line which would require a selected token), they are initially sent as a single message. If this is really the problem, the easiest way around it is to use the --ids argument of TokenMod: !token-mod --ids @{selected|token_id} --set statusmarkers|lightning-helix However, if you are only ever going to be selecting the wizard for this, you could just hardcode that character's name in the first line (instead of @{selected|character_name} ), and you could use the character ID instead of a token ID in the TokenMod line: --ids @{Wizard's Name Here|character_id} Then you don't have to worry about actually selecting the token on the board.

Hi Steve R.,  Just a note, since the beam originates from the token you have already selected you can remove one of the target dialogs with this:  /fx beam-water @{selected|token_id} @{target|Foe|token_id}

Thank you all for your quick response.  I used Keith's questions and ran a diagnostic test on the macro, and I still had the same issues. So, I used Tims' suggested change to the macro and it worked nicely - thank you!  I also changed the /fx line to the one suggested by Gauss - I like it, it is a much better dialog. My macro now works well.  Many thanks to you all.
