Shadowrun 5e Initiative Macro?

has anybody come up with a macro that will work for SR 5e? It's a huge pain to have to roll and enter the total into the initiative box. Takes like 5 seconds i know! Thanks in advance :)

Is this what you're looking for? Roll To Initiative To add a roll directly into Roll20's Turn Track (Rolling for Initiative), you'll need to incorporate a "roll option". A roll option is a special Roll20 flag that you can set anywhere in a roll to tell the roll system you'd like to do special things with the roll. For adding an initiative number to the turn track, you'll first need to select the token you wish to roll for and use this formula: /roll 1d20 + 5 &{tracker} The &{} part is where you put your options for the roll, and the "tracker" option is what says "Show the results of this roll, but also use the result as the value in the turn tracker." If the token that you have selected doesn't already have a turn in the turn order, one will be added. If it already has at least one turn, all current turns will be updated with the new value.

Joel, due to the style of Shadowrun initiative pass style tracking you'll need API to facilitate your needs. However, it would be relatively easy to create. Have everyone roll for initiative as normal, then on a new pass subtract 10 from everyone's initiative total. If you make a request for this in the API forum I expect someone will help you out.
Not sure if this it what you are looking for but this is noted in the macro's section of the roll20 Wiki " <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros#Rolling_For_Initiat" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros#Rolling_For_Initiat</a>... For a game such as Shadowrun where you want to subtract 10 from the current initiative after every turn, you could have a global macro like so: /me @{selected|token_name} ends their turn. [[10 &{tracker:-}]] Note that the tracker flag works both in regular rolls and inline rolls.
