[Token Name] [Roll]With the roll giving a hover to show:
[Roll]+[total of bonuses]
I really don't mind if everyone can see the results since initiative has already been rolled. :-) In the past, I had a macro quickbar macro that whispered (using powercards) the initiative rolls for NPC's, but player's could hover over any player's inline roll shown in chat (player's had an ability macro for initiative). With your recent updates to GroupInititative, I have decided to just use !group-init for all my initiative rolls.The Aaron said:
So something like:[Token Name] [Roll]With the roll giving a hover to show:[Roll]+[total of bonuses]
All in whispers to the GM, or do you want players to see theirs as well, or have all players see player rolls? (and if all players, is it sufficient to show everyone if at least one player has the character in their journal?)

Good point Greg. I don't want the group to know about the 3 Invisible Stalkers lurking above Stephen's character.Greg B. said:
Yeah, I it doesn't matter to much if they see it, but for those npcs on the gm layer might be better to have a selectable option?
Did you get weapon speed working?Gozer the Gozerian said:
I've got a game tomorrow night, and it will be the first unveiling of TurnTracker and GroupInit. I think this will help things flow a lot better.
Vince said:
Hey Gozer. This macro seems to work for me on the 1e sheet!group-init --bonus [[ @{selected|SurpriseBonus} + @{selected|repeating_weapon_0_WeaponSpeed} ]]
Bummer. Any way for the --bonus to work for each combatant other than selecting one token at a time?The Aaron said:
That's applying a bonus using the dice engine, which is actually pretty clever as it knows how to derive the bonus. However, that's only going to work for a single combatant.
@{selected|SurpriseBonus} + @{selected|repeating_weapon_0_WeaponSpeed}
Yes, but not the way you're thinking it would. I'd have to do the expansion on the API side, and you'd have to supply it as something like @#{selected... }, which gets back to the problem I have right now.Vince said:

Update 0.8.7 - Added four Announcers to show the results of GroupInitiativeWith the caveat that tokens on the GM layer are always whispered. PCs have a Greenish background, NPCs have a bluish background, GMLayer items have a darker grayish background. Standard Dice highlighting applies and hover shows you the die roll and the total bonus applied.
- None -- Doesn't announce anything
- Hidden -- Announces all rolls via whisper to the gm(s)
- Partial -- Announces rolls for PCs to all, but whispers NPCs to the gm(s) (PCs are any character with either All, or at least one non-gm as a controller)
- Visible -- Announces everything to everyone
Is that why it's called GroupInitiative? =-PThe Aaron said:

I would need that and love it so much. I would need something like 3d6+10 (individual roll for all selected tokens) (Shadowrun System). That would be so neat - your scripts are amazing! Thank you for your work and time!The Aaron said:
Yes. It's not built in currently, but it could be. Do you need that?
The Aaron said:
Update v0.8.8 - Fixed the 3+6.06 = 9.05999999999999999 problem. =D (Thanks Ziechael!)

I've tried to make GroupInitiative work more generally, so if you have a case it doesn't work for, definitely let me know so I can fix it. =DIt's exactly the called roll per individual. In Shadowrun initiative is based on one initative value which i assume would be
!group-init --add-group --Bare initiative
I have my doubts it can be done.The Aaron said:
I could probably do that, actually. You'd have to type it a bit differently, but I bet I could do it...
Vince said:
I pull the bonus from an attribute that is unique to each token.

What system are you playing that does this and why are you humoring it instead of bending it to your will and making it use 'Initiative' regardless? :>
