Just 4 Simple MACRO NEEDS for GM's - directed at the VTT Devs...

( Originally posted on Reddit announcement 4 "Send to Chat" reactions: Make your map talk back As much as I like this addition, I think the devs sb working on getting the basic macros the GM's need to run their games smoothly and efficiently. I need only 4 macros to work on the experimental server for use with the 2024 character sheets. 1) Group Initiative to Work Consistently 2) Getting a macro to allow me to select a group of character/creature tokens and roll Saves [& 3) Ability Checks] for them simultaneously and then 4) to be able to apply any damage to said tokens once we know the result of their saves. That's it people. Could some headway be made on getting us GMs these macros before spending time on adding flashy elective elements to the VTT? Thank you. End of Line. FYI: Tho not a programmer, I created a simple macro to interreact w the 2024 pc sheets that at least gives the bare minimum needed to use but it only works on one token at a time. &{template:default} {{name=Saving Throw}} {{Character=@{selected|character_name}}} {{DC=?{DC|  }}}{{Roll=?{Save| Strength, STR [[1d20+@{selected|strength_save_bonus}]] / [[1d20+@{selected|strength_save_bonus}]]| Dexterity, DEX [[1d20+@{selected|dexterity_save_bonus}]] / [[1d20+@{selected|dexterity_save_bonus}]]| Constitution, CON [[1d20+@{selected|constitution_save_bonus}]] / [[1d20+@{selected|constitution_save_bonus}]]| Wisdom, WIS [[1d20+@{selected|wisdom_save_bonus}]] / [[1d20+@{selected|wisdom_save_bonus}]]| Charisma, CHA [[1d20+@{selected|charisma_save_bonus}]] / [[1d20+@{selected|charisma_save_bonus}]]| Intelligence, INT [[1d20+@{selected|intelligence_save_bonus}]] / [[1d20+@{selected|intelligence_save_bonus}]]}}}

HI Kirk S.,&nbsp; Have you tried the macro creators on the 2024 sheet yet? It will create a macro for Saving Throws, Skills, etc.&nbsp; I noticed you are wanting group rolls, that is not Macro territory. It is firmly part of the API. Example, Group Initiative is not a macro, it is an API Script (that might be activated by macro).&nbsp; The problem with Group Initiative etc is that the API calls for Attributes on D&amp;D 5e 2024 by Roll20 are bugged.&nbsp; I suggest filing a Help Center report to add your voice to the call for the bug to be fixed. The more people report it the higher the priority.&nbsp; While Group Initiative is currently bugged you can still do group initiatives, saves, etc. via other API Scripts.&nbsp; Here is a post by Timmaugh that provides an alternate API Script solution:&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/12545541/cant-get-groupinitiative-to-work-properly/?pageforid=12596044#post-12596044" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/12545541/cant-get-groupinitiative-to-work-properly/?pageforid=12596044#post-12596044</a>
The macro creators in Collections? Yes, I have. I even cleaned up the above Save Macro to look prettier for the new Roll20 aesthetic lol Check it out: (Title = Saving Throws 2024) @{selected|wtype}&amp;{template:default} {{name=Saving Throw for @{selected|character_name}}} {{DC=?{DC| }}}{{ROLL=?{Save| Strength, STRENGTH [[1d20+@{selected|strength_save_bonus}]] / [[1d20+@{selected|strength_save_bonus}]]| Dexterity, DEXTERITY [[1d20+@{selected|dexterity_save_bonus}]] / [[1d20+@{selected|dexterity_save_bonus}]]| Constitution, CONSTITUTION [[1d20+@{selected|constitution_save_bonus}]] / [[1d20+@{selected|constitution_save_bonus}]]| Wisdom, WISDOM [[1d20+@{selected|wisdom_save_bonus}]] / [[1d20+@{selected|wisdom_save_bonus}]]| Charisma, CHARISMA [[1d20+@{selected|charisma_save_bonus}]] / [[1d20+@{selected|charisma_save_bonus}]]| Intelligence, INTELLIGENCE [[1d20+@{selected|intelligence_save_bonus}]] / [[1d20+@{selected|intelligence_save_bonus}]]}}} Sorry for the macro/api script terminology confusion, but yes, I really could use the Group Check API Script working but unfortunately it doesn't at all, unlike the sometimes buggy Group Initiative API Script which worked just fine today when I tested it. &lt;Ugh&gt; Sure, I'll log a bug report in the Help Center and ratch up my patience quota once more. I deleted my posts on Reddit concerning this, but I hope that you can understand my frustration in this matter. I've been with Roll20 since 3/2020 and&nbsp; I've been wrestling with the combat in my games ever since the new 2024 player sheets have come on line and my nerves at this point are fried.&nbsp;

The D&amp;D 5e 2024 sheet is still a work in progress. There are still many things not implemented and various bugs.&nbsp; My suggestion is that if your nerves are fried using it to use the D&amp;D 5e 2014 by Roll20 sheet until such a time that the 2024 sheet works without causing you fried nerves. It is stable with some bugs still but they are known and able to be worked around.&nbsp; Yes, it doesn't natively support the 2024 sheet, but you can always put the data on the 2014 sheet manually.&nbsp;
I'd just like macros to work at all on Demiplane sheets.
