Error when trying to use macros in multiple games

For about the last 8 hours I've had problems with my macros throwing out an error. Occured in 4 different games, on Firefox, Chrome and Opera. Normal 0 false false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:8.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:107%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family:Aptos; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Aptos; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-font-kerning:1.0pt; mso-ligatures:standardcontextual; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} Chrome is telling me Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'cache') Firefox is telling me can't access property "cache", X is undefined Which I'm guessing is two ways of saying the same thing. Everything was working fine a couple of days ago.

Today's session for my group is experiencing the same issue. It seems that all the macros that include a targetting (such as attacks), is experiencing the same error messages. My Launch Game link is&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/editor/setcampaign/9847935" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/editor/setcampaign/9847935</a> This happens in both Chrome and Firefox. More specifically, the character named Brenda Jersen, ability "CureCritical", and any other ability that included targeting. This affected everyone that was playing in today's session. It was so bad that we cut our session short because the game was getting very unenjoyable.

Hey folks! Do the macros you are having issues with include Mod script calls? If so, are you running the experimental server?

I am having the same issues with my D&amp;D 3.5 campaign. All the attack macros have the same error, and the game is unplayable now as we mostly depend on macros for all the calculations. I am Plus member, so no Mod scripts at all. Before all was working fine. Interestingly, some of the macros created in the "Atributes &amp; Abilities" Tab work well, even if they are attack macros. I am not sure what is the cause, seems pretty random (as they have similar structure). But most which are related to attacks doesn't work now...

@keithcurtis no, no Mod script calls are in use. It's a D&amp;D 3.5 campaign, using a modified version of the character sheets. The Last modification was made many months ago, and everything has worked since. Last game session was a couple weeks ago, and was working fine then.

I use the ScriptCard API for the attack, healing etc, macros now, however I've tested it using the template built into the D&amp;D 4E Character Sheet and that has the same problem. I've created a brand new game and transmogrified a character into it, I've even created a new character and copied the macro into that.&nbsp; Until I stripped everything linked to targeting out (@{target|token_name}, @{target|ac} etc) out the error kept coming up.&nbsp; Only when everything to do with targeting was removed did the macro work Not sure what is meant by experimental server, I just run the games as normal on Jumpgate. Interestingly i have a releatively new 13th Age game that uses the same ScriptCard macro adapted for 13th Age and that is currently working fine even though it does include the targeting.

Oenanthe said: Not sure what is meant by experimental server, I just run the games as normal on Jumpgate. When your scripts launch at startup, they launch in a "sandbox", a dedicated room where your scripts can run and interact with your game data, but with protections so they don’t accidentally interfere with Roll20 itself or other games. That isolation also means some typical JavaScript features (like loading external libraries or making web requests) are blocked for safety reasons. There are two "flavors" of sandbox, the Default and the Experiemental. The&nbsp; Default &nbsp;sandbox is fairly stable, but is more or less frozen in terms of development. Newer features are being added to Roll20 all the time, and the Sandbox needs to evolve so that these features can benefit from scripting. The Experimental sandbox has actually been around for a couple of years now, and is fairly mature. But some things (for example reading Beacon-based sheets, which might be related to what is throwing that error) can only work there. You can change which server you are on on your mod script page. Just choose from the drop down, wait about 30 seconds and then press the restart button. You can always switch back, but in general, you would never notice the difference as an end user, only that some newer, or newly updated scripts will function better.

I would say I'm 99% certain I'm on the default option. My computer knowledge is virtually non existant, I can use what is in front of me, and have learnt to use the APIs with a lot of help from other users.&nbsp; I just go into the Mod (API) Script option in Settings, and pick what I want from the drop down menu there.

I do not think it is related to the targeting function. I have some macros in the same D&amp;D 3.5 game which work, and some which bring the error, and both have targeting. For example, this one brings the error (called from the attack button): /w gm &amp;{template:DnD35Attack} {{npcflag=true}} {{fullattackflag=[[d1]]}} {{name=Yuan-ti Cleric}} {{subtags=attacks at @{target|victim|token_name} (AC@{target|victim|bar2}) and tries to dodge against @{target|dodge|token_name} }} {{attack1=His mwk greatsword hits an AC[[1d20cs&gt;19+@{npcbaseatt}+@{npcstr-mod}+@{npcsize}-?{Dodge AC bonus|0|1|2|3|4|5}+1[Mwk]]] }} {{damage1= and deals [[2d6+@{npcstr-mod}+floor(@{npcstr-mod}/2) ]] dmg}} {{attack2=OR}} {{damage2= }} {{attack3=His ranged dagger atk hits an AC[[1d20cs&gt;19+@{npcbaseatt}+@{npcdex-mod}+@{npcsize}-?{Dodge AC bonus}]] }} {{damage3= and deals [[1d4+@{npcstr-mod}]] dmg}}&nbsp; {{notes= SR 16. Dodge AC bonus: +?{Dodge AC bonus} until next round. }} And this one works perfectly without issues (called from the attributes and abilities tab): /w gm &amp;{template:DnD35Attack} {{npcflag=true}} {{fullattackflag=[[d1]]}} {{name=Yuan-ti Cleric}} {{subtags=smites at @{target|victim|token_name} (AC@{target|victim|bar2}) and tries to dodge against @{target|dodge|token_name} }} {{attack1=His mwk greatsword hits an AC[[1d20cs&gt;19+@{npcbaseatt}+@{npcstr-mod}+@{npcsize}-?{Dodge AC bonus|0|1|2|3|4|5}+1[Mwk]+4[Smite] ]] }} {{damage1= and deals [[2d6+@{npcstr-mod}+floor(@{npcstr-mod}/2)+@{divinecasterlevel} ]] dmg}} {{notes= SR 16.

Interesting, since I don't use target off of attributes and abilities for npc monsters I would not have noticed that.&nbsp; But I can grab what does not work from the chat line, make it an ability off of a character, and it works. That unfortunately does not help me at all though as all of my setups use just tokens and macros that run out of the bubbles of the token.

This fails in Jumpgate but works in a Legacy but will work as an ability off of a character in Jumpgate. The bones attack @{target|token_name}&nbsp; with a [[1d20+9]] for [[1d4+1]] damage.

I have a distinct feeling that this is one of those problems that occurs sometimes and not others. All of my D&amp;D 4E games are effected, but my 13th Age game, which I just copied the macro into and made a few adjustments works fine. My guess (and it is no more than that as I dont' know computer programs) is that while the @{target|...} is part of the problem, triggering the error, it isn't the whole of the problem, there is something deeper that is going wrong that we can't see. From what I've worked out, macros that don't involve targets work all the tiem, but those that do fail most of the time, but not all of it.&nbsp; Browser and APIs don't seem to make any difference. Hopefully it is something that the Devs can track down quickly next week.

Just like the information that Joan F game: it helps narrow the symptom down.&nbsp; But I've been using it for ten or so years by putting it into the token bars and calling it with&nbsp;/desc @{selected|bar1}.&nbsp; That still gives an error. I tried removing the /desc but no change. And this problem only affects my Jumpgate games, and not "Legacy." It worked fine on 3 Feb but began giving an error on 5 Feb. Seeing it is not just affecting me I would guess a change was made sometime in that time interval that affected Jumpgate.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Your comments are indeed valuable! I just realized that in my old "Legacy" games, the same macros work perfectly. Seems only in the new Jumpgate something breaks them. In my case, the macros which fail are called from the sheet dice buttons, or from the upper token button assigned to the selected token which calls them. If I copy/paste any of these macros onto the chat command-line, even if I select the token before pressing the SEND button, it gives a bunch of errors such as "No character was found for 'npcstr-mod'" for all the attributes used in the macro...

All my games got upgraded to Jumpgate, so I can't test whether the macros would work in games on the Legacy engine.
