Want help with renaming Macro or Inserting Name Macro for Effects.

Hi everyone, I have been looking around and can't find anything that fits what I am going for and I am generally new at the whole macro thing. What I want to do is be able to click on the macro button and then have it prompt up a text box which it says "Type" where I would put in beam, blast, etc and then another text box that says "Color" meaning acid, blood, etc for the Effects roll20 has built into it. All I have right now is the "/fx [?{Type}]-[?{Color}] and thats obviously not working. Just keeps giving me fire explosions on the character I select - which is the right direction I guess. If anyone knows any forums that would help me or has an answer I would be greatly appreciative. Thank you.

I believe the problem is the square brackets you have in there. This seems to work fine: /fx ?{type|beam|breath}-?{color|fire|acid} @{target|Caster|token_id} @{target|Foe|token_id} Although, it does ask for the targets before the roll queries are triggered due to the  order of operations .
Thank you! This is awesome!
I changed it to this "/fx ?{type|beam|bomb|breath|bubbling|burn|burst|explode|glow|missile|nova|splatter}-?{color|acid|blood|charm|death|fire|frost|holy|magic|slime|smoke|water} @{target|Caster|token_id} @{target|Foe|token_id}" just so I have all the effect options!  Thank you again!
