Initiative macro for D&D 3.5

I am having issues with the D&D character sheet and the initiative rolls.  The macro does not roll die on the character sheet and when I break down the formula all I get is the template.  I wanted to see if anyone had luck with figuring out the issues.  Thank you! Here is the macro from the 3.5 character sheet. &{template:DnD35Initiative} {{name=@{selected|character_name} }} {{check=Initiative:}} {{checkroll=/roll1d20 + [[@{selected|init}]] +[[(@{selected|init})]]/100) &{tracker}]] }}

Since you are using the built-in roll template, you cannot use /roll with it; you must use in-line rolls.  You have also divided the calculation in half which might give odd results. The original macro (which does work) was: &{template:DnD35Initiative} {{name=@{selected|character_name} }} {{check=Initiative:}} {{checkroll=[[1d20 + [[@{selected|init}]] + ([[(@{selected|init})]]/100) &{tracker}]] Which rolls the initiative, adds to it a decimal value of your dexmod to use as a tie-breaker, and puts it on the initiative tracker if it is open. What are you trying to change the macro to/what do you want it to do instead?
I copied the macro you gave into my character sheet, but it gave me an error of "No character was found for 'selected' " three times, then "SyntaxError: Expected "(", ".", "[", "abs(", "ceil(", "d", "floor(", "round(", "t", "{", [ |\t], [+|\-] or [0-9] but "s" found." Can you help?

Hey, Sam A. Could you double check that the Token you selected Represents a Character ?
I'm not the GM, only a player. It's the token representing my character sheet.
When you hold the Shift key and double-click on your Token, does the Bio & Info tab of your Character pop up?
Nope.
That indicates that your GM did not properly set your Token to Represent your Character . Your GM will need do that before you'll be able to use the &{tracker} roll option .
Well, now that problem is fixed. Now it just isn't showing up in chat, even though it still gets sent to the tracker.
If you replace &{template:DnD35Initiative} with &{template:default} do you still not see the Roll Template in the text chat?
