Magic Missile - 5e

HI, I am new to playing online. My group is having trouble getting Magic Missile for 5th edition D&D to work right. How do you put it in so it makes multiple missiles? Thanks
So I'm assuming your you are using the character sheet macros. I use the shaped character sheet for my players. The way I did it was to put the damage in the effects section. Here is a shot of the setup and the output. Here you go typo and all.
If you want something a little more complicated you can try my script. I took the output from Actoba's default 5E sheet and modified it to select three targets, then you can select how many missiles you want for each target. &{template:5eDefault} {{spell=1}} {{title=Magic Missile}} {{subheader=@{selected|character_name}}} {{subheaderright=Evocation Level 1}}} {{subheader2= Range 120'}} {{subheaderright2=Level ?{Spell Slot Level|1} spell slot}} {{emote= [[?{Spell Slot Level|1}+2]] glowing darts shoot forth...}} {{spellshowdamage=1}} {{spelldamage= [[(?{Number of missiles at @{target|Target#1|token_name}|1})d4+(?{Number of missiles at @{target|Target#1|token_name}|1})+(@{selected|global_spell_damage_bonus})]] Force}} {{spellshoweffects=1}} {{spelleffect= @{target|Target#1|token_name} struck by ?{Number of missiles at @{target|Target#1|token_name}|1} darts!}} {{damage = [[(?{Number of missiles at @{target|Target#2|token_name}|1})d4 + (?{Number of missiles at @{target|Target#2|token_name}|1}) + (@{selected|global_spell_damage_bonus})]] Force}} {{effect = @{target|Target#2|token_name} struck by ?{Number of missiles at @{target|Target#2|token_name}|1} darts!}} {{damage =[[(?{Number of missiles at @{target|Target#3|token_name}|1})d4+(?{Number of missiles at @{target|Target#3|token_name}|1}) + (@{selected|global_spell_damage_bonus})]] Force}} {{effect = @{target|Target#3|token_name} struck by ?{Number of missiles at @{target|Target#3|token_name}|1} darts!}} {{spellcasttime=1 Action}} {{spellduration=Instantaneous}} {{spelltarget=Creature or creatures}} {{spellrange=120'}} {{spellgainedfrom=Wizard}} {{spellcomponents=V,S}} @{selected|classactionspellcast} Take this code and make it into a token action on your casters' abilities page. If you want to shoot at more targets then you can cast it again. If you want to hit only one target with all the missiles, then you would the select that target first and select yourself the rest of the times and when questioned as to how many missiles for on yourself, just select 0. I have one for scorching ray that is considerably more complicated, I posted it here <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1747672/#post-2002287" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1747672/#post-2002287</a> There are a million ways to do things with Roll20 and the roll templates, so as long as you are having fun and it works for you that is all that matters.
