What is "Sheet Workers" and Is It Practical For API Iliterates?

Well, my literacy is growing. I've been able to modify ROTTO's great Shopping Mod and have finally completed a decent API script (I think) for saving throws without fully understanding the arrangement of chat templates. So now I'm trying to do an ammo tracking API - I've looked at Aaron's and it is not exactly what I need - to look at all entries of a selected character token called "arrows", "bolts", "dagger", "spear", etc and use the ChatSetAttrib to modify the Qty number in the Equipment section. Anyway, in googling and searching Roll20 documentation I've come across "Sheet Workers" and am wondering if it's something a non-sheet designer like me can use? Or is it better to stick with trying to navigate through API? Thanks. -- Tim

I am currently working on an api that does track ammo when it’s used. You select your token and it pulls off character sheet into chat. 

I can add ammo/resource tracking to the sheet without API, but it requires changing the regular sheet rolls to action buttons and using Custom Roll Parsing to process the roll.  The only reason I haven't added this is that I believe it would require that these types of rolls would only work when made off the sheet.  ie action buttons cannot be triggered from macros. EDIT/UPDATE: I was mistaken in my understanding.  Looks like I might be able to implement ammo/resource tracking after all without any negative impact for macro users.

From a question I asked on another forum, there appears to be a surprising number of folks don't bother to keep track at all, anyway. we often don't, but I just want to make a quick thing that even I as a DM can quickly run. I very much like how your sheet works now for combat, anyway. :)

Vince, Thanks for all your hard work on this sheet. You are a righteous d00d!
