Macro Madness - Press Once - Execute until ...

So I have made my first macro and it did great except that I pressed it 1 time and it executed like 20 or more times.  What is going on with that? It also made noises like a swarm of suction cup nosed prairie dogs pulling their noses off a glass wall simultaneously. Also, is there a way to eliminate the goofy rolling statement prior to it showing the text and repeating itself with the actual roll results?

What was the body of the macro you used? Also: in the settings tab, there is a checkbox "Enable Background Chat Beep". If it's on, the game beeps when a message is sent to the chat and you don't have the chat showing.

#Grim1 Grim uses his practiced power, Eldritch Strike! /roll 1d20+@{Grim|Con}+@{Grim|AttackEnhancement}+@{Grim|Expertise}+@{Grim|Level}/2 Thanks on the prairie dog noises - that was it! Any way to eliminate the rolling statement prior to it outputting the text and then outputting the roll results ...

Moved to Specific Use Questions.  If #Grim1 is in the body of your macro what is the body of the macro #Grim1?  - Gauss

You can use inline rolls instead of the /roll command; the final result of the roll will appear in a small yellow box (outlined in red if any die rolled a 1, outlined in green if any die rolled its max value, outlined in blue if a die rolled 1 and another die rolled max), and if you hover your mouse over it, all the separate die rolls and modifiers will pop up. You can even put the results in the middle of a sentence this way. [[1d20+@{Grim|Con}+@{Grim|AttackEnhancement}+@{Grim|Expertise}+@{Grim|Level}/2]]

Brian, when series0 responded to your question regarding the body of the macro he put #Grim1 in the response (thus, in the body). If that is the case then his macro will also run the #Grim1 macro. If the #Grim1 macro is referencing itself it will run itself a number of times. - Gauss

Yes, I did figure that I was self referencing although to my mind the macro wiki example IS that way.  Copying its style as I understood it, I copied the self reference.   Very cool on the syntax help, ty!

I fixed the wiki to be clearer. - Gauss

I am getting double rolls in the chat when I use the following macro...with no self-reference,that I can see, other than the /me. /me recognizes an ally in trouble,looses a quick disruptive arrow [[1d20+13 vs AC]]

Please post the entire macro in the format of name and body. Also, please include a screenshot of the output.  And, which server is this on (Dev or Main)? - Gauss
