Is it possible to get the attribute name of a field in a repeated section from a roll macro inside the section?

If I have a fieldset with input A and button roll. Is it possible to get the name of the variable of "attr_A" during the button roll? For example the !ammo script requires the name of the variable and I would like to change the field of the same fieldset entry.

And for the same reason: Is it possible to acquire the character_id which is required by !ammo form within a roll inside a charactersheet?

For the character id, you can just use @{character_id}. The second is a bit harder and something I need to dig into more. =/

Aaron, once again: You are the best :) (I am guessing you will be hearing that quite often as long as I am working on my character sheet for shadowrun 5 :)

=D No one gets tired of hearing that, so carry on! =D

If you mean, change a field inside a roll button to include Character ID. Technically you could? You would need to edit the sheet itself though.

I am working on my own sheet, so this would not be the problem. What I exactly mean is
I have a field inside of a fieldset for each weapon: @{weaponammo} and i have a button inside the same fieldset where I would like to do something like @{weaponammo} = @{weaponammo}-1. For a character variable outside of the fieldset I can use the ammo tracker, but the question is: is there a way to get either the number of the current fieldset when a roll is clicked, such that i can reconstruct the fieldname or is there a way to transform @{weaponammo} into the name of the variable, which i could pass to !ammo again.

I am trying to understand what you want it to do first.

So you want it to track ammo through the character sheet correct?

So Ranged Ammo from Line one does -1 arrow when use is clicked or?

I mean you could just put something like !ammo @{weaponammorow}-1 <br> (Can't remember the linebreak command off the top of my head) /roll [[1d5]] etc

I cant because fieldset variables are number 0-n and !ammo does not take @{weaponammorow} but the actual name of the variable. This is why i need the global name of the variable not the one local one which you can acess reading it :) Therefore a global variable attr_weaponammo is accessible but not a fieldset variable.

The names of repeating group attribute names are predictable.

If the group is named repeating_foo, and you have an field named attr_bar in it, the attribute for the first instance would be repeating_foo_0_bar.

That name should be usable with Ammo.

Yeah but how does button foo_n know which attr_bar_n it has to modify. That is the caveat, isn't it? They both don't know their indices, don't they?

Ah, right, good point. Interesting. I'll have to ponder that one.
