[Script] RecursiveTables -- Expands Inline Rolls in Rollable Table Results

I have run into an error that I think has to do with the way my tables are constructed, however I don't know specifically where or how things are going wrong.  I could use some help.

SyntaxError: Expected "[" or [ |\t] but "1" found. undefined

I am using the following table (s):

While using:  !rt /w gm You have [[ 1t[[kEvent-Generic]] ]].  Could anyone help with this small problem?

Try taking the spaces out of here:

!import-table-item --kEvent-Generic -- <%%91%%><%%91%%> 1t<%%91%%>kEvent-benKingdom<%%93%%> <%%93%%><%%93%%>. --20 --
!import-table-item --kEvent-Generic -- <%%91%%><%%91%%> 1t<%%91%%>kEvent-danKingdom<%%93%%> <%%93%%><%%93%%>. --25 --
!import-table-item --kEvent-Generic -- <%%91%%><%%91%%> 1t<%%91%%>kEvent-benSettlement<%%93%%> <%%93%%><%%93%%>. --25 --
!import-table-item --kEvent-Generic -- <%%91%%><%%91%%> 1t<%%91%%>kEvent-danSettlement<%%93%%> <%%93%%><%%93%%>. --22 --

Such that it looks like this:

!import-table-item --kEvent-Generic -- <%%91%%><%%91%%>1t<%%91%%>kEvent-benKingdom<%%93%%><%%93%%><%%93%%>. --20 --
!import-table-item --kEvent-Generic -- <%%91%%><%%91%%>1t<%%91%%>kEvent-danKingdom<%%93%%><%%93%%><%%93%%>. --25 --

There is a bug with the inline roll expansion for API messages where spaces can cause issues:  https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2217884/slug%7D

I just found this..... it looks amazing..... the problem is i am a complete dunce when it comes to code..... I am looking to make a multi line random encounter table.... IE Select Area>[Random Encounter Type]> [Random Creature]> [Random Number of Creatures]..... is this script made for this or can it be set up to do this?

It is pretty much made for that sort of thing. I'll try to get you an example in the morning. Hard to type it in my phone. 

Look back through the thread for some similar examples.

You'll probably want TableExport.  Here is an example for an encounter in the plains, first TableExport commands to create a rollable table:

!import-table --Encounter-Plains --show
!import-table-item --Wolves --<%%91%%><%%91%%>1d8<%%93%%><%%93%%> wolves spring forth from the grasses. --2 --
!import-table-item --Badgers --<%%91%%><%%91%%>1d12<%%93%%><%%93%%> badgers waddle from beneath ferns. --5 --
!import-table-item --Honey-Badger --<%%91%%><%%91%%>1<%%93%%><%%93%%> honey badger sneers from a bare spot of earth littered with the carcasses of dragons! RUN!!!. --1 --

Then using it with RecursiveTables:

!rt Plains Encounter: [[1t[Encounter-Plains]]]

Does that help?

For your case Jake, the easiest way as far as planning out how you're going to use the wonderfulness that is RecursiveTables would probably be something like:

You'll need to make a table for each of your areas, encounter types (by area), and random creatures (again by area, and maybe by encounter type).

So for the plains; you might have entries for encounter type like:
[[1t[BeneficialPlains]]]
[[1t[MonsterPlains]]]

And then in MonsterPlains you would have entries for what monster like:
[[1t[PlainsCreatures]]]
[[1t[nonPlainsCreatures]]]

PlainsCreatures would have entries for specific creatures and groups of creatures like:
[[1d6]] Barbaraian Hunters
[[2d5]] Giant Vultures
[[1d2]] Plains Dragons

To call all these simply you have two options:

1. The Roll Query: You encounter: [[?{Area| Plains, 1t[PlainsEncounters] | Mountains, 1t[MountainsEncounters] | Whatever other area types you've got}]]
2. Ability Command Button Menu with a button for your Plains, Mountains, etc. area macros.

In either case the final output would be something like:

You encounter: 2 Plains Dragons
You encounter: 4 Barbarian Hunters
You encounter 3 Giant Vultures
etc.

That's part of my problem (being a dunce when code is concerned). This is what i have fleshed out and will be using as a "Frame" for my other areas. Do you think your script can work with what I want?

Yeah, it should work.  Here's some of what the TableExport commands will look like.

!import-table --Laughing-Hills --hide
!import-table-item --Laughing-Hills --<%%91%%><%%91%%>1t<%%91%%>Beast<%%93%%><%%93%%><%%93%%> --40 --

!import-table-item --Beast --<%%91%%><%%91%%>1d4<%%93%%><%%93%%> Blood Hawks (CR: 1/8) --5 --

!import-table --Monstrosity --hide
!import-table-item --Monstrosity --<%%91%%><%%91%%>1d4+2<%%93%%><%%93%%> Cockatrice (CR: 1/2) --25 --
!import-table-item --Monstrosity --<%%91%%><%%91%%>1d4+2<%%93%%><%%93%%> Worg (CR: 1/2) --40 --
!import-table-item --Monstrosity --<%%91%%><%%91%%>1d6+1<%%93%%><%%93%%> Harpy --20 --

This is a bit simplified, as you'd actually want to have an arrangement more like [Terrain]->[Difficulty]->[Monster], etc...

Greetings- I have tried to add a random number to be used to determine how many times a table is rolled on. It results in a single roll being shown in chat but if you mouse over the result it lists the other results as well. Any way to get that to show in chat? 

Can you post the command you are using?

Sorry The Aaron, didn't see the reply. It would happen when I was using default template- the box with the inline roll would just show one result. If you moused over it, however, you would see that it was rolling a random number of times and generating the proper results. I cannot duplicate the result- got frustrated and started from scratch so I don't have the example to give you :)

This morning finds me having made all the gem, art, and magic tables from the 5e DMG. They all seem to play nice with !rt. I started combining them into hoard tables. When I use !rt with the hoard table I get an API error. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the individual table entries- I used them at least 20 times each without an error. It only occurs when I roll on the master hoard table. 

Hmm.  You might have a look at this bug report:  https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2217884/api-regr...

Probably something about your chosen formatting is causing that issue.  I don't see anything in the screenshot of table rows, but the error message looks like the type you'd see when sending something to sendChat() (which is what parses the nested inline rolls) in a format that causes the bug. It expected a bracket, space, or tab, but found a 6.  It SHOULD take a 6 in that position, hence the bug.  Try making a new table with just one of your rows, or possibly 2 tables with 1 row each, the one calling the other, and see if you can figure out the spacing issue.

Could this be the same thing that was going on in my magic item tables?

Aaron- could it be related to the weight? It doesn't like a single one of my entries on the Hoard table when I entered them on a new test table. Even though they all work as a !rt when I paste the entries into chat. I didn't see anything wrong with the format. But I did think that there was one table that makes multiple checks- the Magic Item Table I. It has one entry for Armor that makes multiple calls. I tried to place two entries from that table (one single item and then the line that calls for a separate roll on the armor table). It gave me the same bug I get on the Hoard table. The kicker is I went back and rolled the Magic Item Table far too many times to count- until I saw one of the items as a result that ONLY comes from a successful roll on the nested armor table...... I am stumped

Gary, I'd go through your armor table with a fine toothed comb and make sure all the inline rolls in it are formatted correctly. I had a very similar error ("S" found instead of your "6" found) that was caused by having an inline roll call to my MinorWands table (it was [1t[MinorWands]]] instead of [[1t[MinorWands]]].

Scott: maybe, but I didn't see any missing [

Gary: can you use TableExport to dump the two little tables so that I can try to duplicate it?

Yup, I think so...

Oh wait?   that looks like it's:

[[ 1]t[Magic-Armor-Table-I] ]]

Shouldn't it be:

[[ 1t[Magic-Armor-Table-I] ]]

Slowly bangs head against table. Wonder how many of those I have! Will try to take a look at my bigger table and see if it is the same issue. Because I am not a coder I tend to copy a line and reuse it as much as possible once I think it works. .... But if I mess it up..... yikes. 

Thanks Aaron. 

Still getting that error though-  have looked several times to make sure the format is right.

[[ 1t[Magic-Armor-Table-I] ]] needs to be [[1t[Magic-Armor-Table-I] ]] or [[1t[Magic-Armor-Table-I]]]. The API doesn't like spaces in inline rolls according to some stuff Aaron has found.
NVM, I'm talking out my you know what.

Copied the table entries and put an !rt in front of them. All the entries work individually in chat. 

-----------ALL OF THE ABOVE WORK FINE
---------- USE THE COMMAND BELOW TO ROLL ON HOARD TABLE (WHICH IS JUST A COLLECTION OF THE LINES ABOVE WITH THE LEADING !rt). GETS ERROR MESSAGE.

Scott- Don't sell yourself short. I took away those spaces and most of the table is now working fine. Still have an error on at least one magic items (coming up as 0 in the output text) but will eventually figure that one out. 

Yay teamwork!

Glad you seem to be getting it working. I pinged Phil that bug report and he's going to try and take a look at it in the near term. Hopefully it will cease to be an issue. :)

As a non coder it makes absolutely no sense to me that I could run each and every one of those table entries in chat successfully.  I am a Pastor though, and am often saying we  need to take some things on faiith! Hard to be on the other end of the statement :)

Yeah, agreed.  The basic reason is that the chat system uses a different system for parsing messages than the API does.  I find this to be unfortunate duplication for exactly this reason.  If they both shared the same parser, they would both work and fail in the same way.

In pastor terms, it would be like translating one of those word codes were one person is using the NIV Bible and the other the AMP Bible. 

2 Corinthians 10:13, 2nd word.  'on' does not equal 'however'.

AMEN! But please no talk about codes and the Bible- I wasn't a Christian when the Bible Code thing was so popular but it still has some reverberations in the community :) You know what though, it seems like everything works better in the parser for the chat... I vote they just take that system. Make it so!

HAHAHAHA. No worries. (Honestly, I didn't even know the Bible Code was a thing... Just looking for a pertinent analogy. =D)

Re: the parser - totally agree. :)

Allright- Have the treasure hoard tables for 0-4 and 5-10 working perfectly (or so it seems.) My OCD is making me do the last two even though I won't be using them for a bit.  You guys have trained me to make a test table and try out bits of the code so this time I have zeroed in on a problem pretty tightly before bringing it here for help. 

[[4d6*1000]] Gold and [[5d6*100]] Platinum with [[[[3d6]]t[500GP-Gemstones]]] with [[[[1d4]]t[Magic-Item-Table-A]]] and [[[[1d6]]t[Magic-Item-Table-B]]]

seems to work sometimes but not all the time. 

16000 Gold and 700 Platinum with Black pearl (opaque pure black) worth 500GP, Peridot (transparent rich olive green) worth 500GP, Aquamarine (transparent pale blue-green) worth 500GP, Alexandrite (transparent dark green) worth 500GP, Alexandrite (transparent dark green) worth 500GP, Aquamarine (transparent pale blue-green) worth 500GP, Blue spinel (transparent deep blue) worth 500GP, Alexandrite (transparent dark green) worth 500GP, Alexandrite (transparent dark green) worth 500GP, Aquamarine (transparent pale blue-green) worth 500GP with Potion of Healing, Cantrip Spell Scroll, !st Level Spell Scroll and Elemental Gem, Keoghtom's Ointment, Potion of Greater Healing, Keoghtom's Ointment, Potion of Growth

shows when it is working. Not I get items from table A and B. Just when I think I have a  good entry the following shows up. (it isn't caused by the typo on 1(!)st level spell scroll though I have since fixed it)

13000 Gold and 2300 Platinum with Alexandrite (transparent dark green) worth 500GP, Alexandrite (transparent dark green) worth 500GP, Black pearl (opaque pure black) worth 500GP, Black pearl (opaque pure black) worth 500GP, Alexandrite (transparent dark green) worth 500GP, Topaz (transparent golden yellow) worth 500GP, Blue spinel (transparent deep blue) worth 500GP, Aquamarine (transparent pale blue-green) worth 500GP, Blue spinel (transparent deep blue) worth 500GP, Topaz (transparent golden yellow) worth 500GP, Black pearl (opaque pure black) worth 500GP, Aquamarine (transparent pale blue-green) worth 500GP with Potion of Healing, Potion of Greater Healing, !st Level Spell Scroll and 0

What could make that 0 show up? The table it is reading from is a simple one result per entry. 

I can think of 2 possibilities:

1) The recursion depth has been hit.  To avoid an infinite loop, I put a maximum number of iterations it would evaluate table results.  I set it to 10 (or 11, might be off by one..).  You could manually change that (see line 11: "maxParseDepth = 10," change the 10 to a 20 and see if it still has the problem), I haven't added a configuration for it yet as I want to rewrite some other things.  Sorry!

2) The sendChat() dice roller seems to have an upper limit on the number of inline rolls it will parse.  I'm not certain what that limit is, but anecdotal evidence seems to indicate it is about 100 rolls.   Unfortunately, the fix for this is rewriting the calls to be less complicated (what I'm wanting to do).  I opened a bug about this 9 months ago but it hasn't had any responses. =(  https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2466383/bug-api-...

I'd say try #1 above and see if that works.  If it doesn't, maybe I can get Scott to proxy me on some changes as he's already familiar with the code and I'll have a hard time working on it in the next few months.. =(

Sure thing, as long as you trust me to make official changes to your code ;).

Trust but verify!  =D

Heh, I'm good with that.

Hit me up on Gitter and I'll lay out my plans? =D

The chat limit- is that per call?

Nope still getting that 0 with after I upped it to 20. And the 0 doesnt seem to be linked to the number of table evaluations. It has worked on evaluations of 10 or more and failed after returning 4 table rolls and putting a 0 on the fifth

Is it always at the end?

If it shows up it is always at the end. But seemingly not dependent on the number of table evaluations. 

Here are some examples

Hmm, ok, Since I'm gonna be proxying the update for Aaron, and I'd like to see if this is a bug or an error in the entry, could you add

log(msg.content);

in between lines 99 and 100, and 101 and 102:

Like this:

98  if(context.depth < maxParseDepth && msg.content.match(/\[\[.+\]\]/)){
99	++context.depth;
	log(context.depth+msg.content);
100	sendChat('',msg.content,function(msg){parseMessage(msg,context);});
101 } else {
	log('final');
	log(context.depth+msg.content);
102	sendChat(context.who, (context.rolltemplate ? '&{template:'+context.rolltemplate+'} ':'')+msg.content.replace(/%%SLASH%%/,'/'));
103 }

And then post the log entries for an occurence of the zero.

(That's precisely what I was going to pursue when I got on my computer!)

Complete non coder here- Think I added the entries correctly but where would I find the log. Is it this entry in the API output console?

"%%SLASH%%w gm [[4d6*1000]] Gold and [[5d6*100]] Platinum with [[[[2d4]]t[250GP-Art-Object]]] with [[1t[Magic-Item-Table-I]]]"
"%%SLASH%%w gm 20000 Gold and 1800 Platinum with Bra ss mug with jade inlay worth 250GP, Box of turquoise animal figurines worth 250GP, Silver necklace with a gemstone pendant worth 250GP, Large well-made tapestry worth 250GP with 0"

Yep, that's it. It looks like you have an item in your magic item or art object table that resolves to a 0 somehow. I'd take a look at the entries there and see if one of them is not what it is supposed to be and/or post a table export of those tables.

All the tables involved here are simple i item entries EXCEPT for the fact that the Magic Table does have a small percentage chance to roll on the armor table.  It seems like the problem is the magic table (maybe when it has to roll on the armor table?) because the art object are listed out and the 0 comes after the "with" which is the connector between the art and magic tables

Sorry it's taken so long Gary. I can't see anything in there that would cause that 0. Do you ever get a magic armor result?

I'll try importing your tables to my sandbox tonight and see if I can't zero in on the problem with some more in depth logging and investigation. If there are any tables that you haven't exported yet that are used in your macro, could you post them?

Yup I have gotten a magic armor result before- I believe the only way to get the plus 3 plates are off of that table and I have seen them. At least off of a roll from the magic item table I leading to a roll on the magic armor table i 

I have tons of tables- but the only ones in play on that 0 result you already have. 

Yep, just the ones in that macro you C&P'd above will be fine, I'll let you know what I find tomorrow probably

Thank you- no big rush on this. We are currently level 4... won't be rolling on that table anytime to soon :)
