Create character from Discord

Hello, Hope you're going well.  I'd like to know if it's possible to use a discord bot to create character in a game via an API script. (I have a souscription pro). I've read in the documentation that scripts only exists in the game itself. I would create a roll20 game where the players from discord are playing a community.  Thank you !

Hi Brandys! Although it is possible to create a blank character from within a Roll20 game with a fairly simple script. There are a number that already do this. Most systems are complex enough that making even a simple NPC can become quickly... non-trivial. It's still possible that we might be able to help, if you could explain a little more fully what you need to have happen, and under what circumstances. Is your expectation that you will be running a Roll20 game through Discord? If so, you are for all intents and purposes in Roll20, and all scripts should be available. Is your expectation that Players will be in a Discord, and be able to use a Discord bot to create a character that can later be used in a Roll20 game? That is pretty much impossible. There do exist multiple ways to make a character when you are not in a game. Players can create their own characters with the Roll20Characters feature (you can find this in the header above, under Tools). Or they can create a game, make a character and then transfer it into a game using the Character Vault (also above). Either one of these latter solutions would probably best serve a community of players. I am assuming a West Marches-style game, but again, more information would be helpful.

That is pretty much impossible. Hello Keithcurtis, This is exactly what I would like to do. Users on discord could create a character (i.e !r20 create character <name>) and then, after some questions from the bot, it would send a request to a roll20 API that will create the character in the game. After that, players (that could be others users) can use it. Like a "twitch" integration but between discord and roll20.

Unfortunately, the Roll20 API is a closed sandbox. It cannot access or be accessed by an outside system. Again, a script could be made to do some of this from within Roll20, or from within Roll20 when it is being hosted within Discord, but not from a Discord bot. Is there a reason that this needs to be a Discord bot, and not just directly access Roll20's character creation tools and/or scripts?

Hello, Thank your for the answer. Not everyone want to create an roll20 account and play. I wanted to allow the users from discord to create a character in the game and let others players use it. But, if it's not really possible, no worries. I'll continue like now :)
