secondary damage type

Hello, Pathfinder 1e player here. I'm trying to create a macro for my summon monster V, in this case a salamander. The salamander uses a spear but then also has fire damage on top of that.  I'm using the 5e pc template. Here's what I have: &{template:pc} {{name=Spear}} {{type=attackdamage}} {{attack=[[1]]}} {{charname=Salamander}} {{showchar=[[1]]}} {{descflag=1}} {{type=attackdamage}} {{roll=[[1d20+11]] }} {{critconfirm=[[1d20+11]]}} {{damage=1}} {{dmg1flag=1}} {{dmg1type=Piercing}} {{dmg1=[[1d8+4]] }} {{dmg1crit=[[(1d8+4)*3]] {{damage=2}} {{dmg2type=Fire}} {{dmg2flag=1}} {{dmg2=[[1d6]] }} It's pretty good, but I was wondering if there's a way to get text into the blue box for the second damage type. Right now it looks like this: Also it kinda breaks on a critical: Appreciate any help you can give. Thanks!
Your dmg1crit is missing it's closing }} . That's what's breaking your crit. Don't know about the second damage label. 
ah thank you that helps. The crit looks better now, but do you know if there's a way to get rid of the non-crit (5) damage?

IIRC not everything is subject to critical damage in PF1e so you do not want to remove the regular damage. You either use the regular damage or the critical damage as is appropriate to the creature you are hitting. 
ah that makes sense, thank you!
