Macro Help

Ok, i want a macro to roll a random number between -10 to 10, so it wiil range from 10 to -10.  I havent been able to figure it out.  Any help?

[[d21-11]] will give you a range from -10 to 10 ...

Sure; I'll give you the macro and explain how I got it! [[ -11 + d21 ]] is an inline dice roll . It's basically just a more compact version of /roll -11 + d21 ?{Min} and ?{Max} are Roll Queries , which allow you to include variable input within a macro. So, [[ [[?{Min|-10} - 1]] + d[[?{Max|10} - (?{Min} - 1)]] ]] This is the "roll formula" that produces "one die that rolls between two variables (i.e. minimum and maximum values)". To get a die that rolls between the variables -10 and 10, you would input -10 into the ?{Min} Roll Query, and 10 into ?{Max}. This would result in... [[ [[-10 - 1]] + d[[10 - (-10 - 1)]] ]] = [[ [[-11]] + d[[10 + 11]] ]] = [[ -11 + d[[21]] ]] = [[ -11 + d21 ]] Let me know if you have any questions!

Sweet thanks  :) You know that was so simple I dont know why I had such a hard time.  I had d30-11

OK here is another question.  Is it possible to make a macro that will roll random numbers and have each number represent something?  Im working on a high tech space game and I wont to roll random planetary stats and other stuff.

Yes something like that, can you explain a little how that works?  I could live with that, or is there a way to have like each number in a d10 = something.  Like roll d10, 1 = Canine, 2 = Feline, 3 = humanoid etc.?

Also can one macro call another one?

QRob001 said: Yes something like that, can you explain a little how that works? Oh, all of those are pretty much just a jumbled mess of nested inline dice rolls . :) QRob001 said: Also can one macro call another one? Yup; check out Nesting Macros . QRob001 said: is there a way to have like each number in a d10 = something.  Like roll d10, 1 = Canine, 2 = Feline, 3 = humanoid etc.? This is trickier, and is best handled with an API Script like PowerCards . Access to the API is available within games in which the Creator has an active Pro subscription. Without an API Script, pretty much the best you can do is a macro like this: Roll: [[1d10]] [[1]] ⇒ Canine [[2]] ⇒ Feline [[3]] ⇒ Humanoid etc. With PowerCards: !power {{ --name|Roll --Result:|[[ [$R] 1d10 ]] -- ?? $R == 1 ?? |Canine -- ?? $R == 2 ?? |Feline -- ?? $R == 3 ?? |Humanoid -- ?? $R >= 4 ?? |etc. }}

Sweet, thanks a lot Silvyre

You're very welcome! Good luck and happy rolling!

It's not quite the same, but you could use a rollable table (<a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Card_Decks_and_Rollable_Tables#Rollable_Tables" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Card_Decks_and_Rollable_Tables#Rollable_Tables</a> ).&nbsp; Set the table up with the races (or what ever): Canine Feline Humanoid Reptilian etc. and then call it in your macro with race: [[1t[inhabitant-race] ]]

Thanks Diana
