Help on rolling commands

I am new to this (everything about it ) but learning slowly. One problem I am having is making a dice roll for the following situation; an attack which starts with a 1D20 minus enemy dodge stat chance to hit, with a critical hit of 17-20 and success of  greater than 5. so far, I have this working for me on the character abilities page: Roll to hit: /roll 1d20cs>17 -?{Enemy dodge value} but I am having trouble putting in the success parameters, so the game log can tell me "1 successes" or "0 successes"  I know I can just see if the roll is greater than 5, but any ideas? Thanks

/roll {1d20cs>17 - ?{Defender Dodge Value|0}}>5

API Scripts (which are written in JavaScript) are able to react to a /roll and perform certain actions. PowerCards is one API Script that can better automate what you're attempting to do (i.e. 'hide normal damage conditionally', 'show critical damage conditionally', etc.). Roll Templates can be written to include Helper Functions (e.g. rollWasCrit() ), which allow for information to be conditonally displayed in certain circumstances. Some Character Sheets on the dropdown (available to all users) include Roll Templates with Helper Functions, which can be taken advantage of within macros. Otherwise, Pro users can write and implement their own Roll Templates within games that they create. Many custom Roll Template can 'show critical damage conditionally', but I do not know of any currently written that 'hide normal damage conditionally'. Although, some Roll Templates implement Command Buttons , which allow you to choose whether or not to roll damage after making an attack roll.
