Help With necromancer Macro

I am playing a 5e Macro and I just got to level 5. I am roaming with 4 zombies using short bows (temporary until i get skeletons). I want to set up a macro that will use the zombie stat block (allready got the character sheet for them) and have it let me select how many zombies are attacking. edit: if possible, I would like to have it where I can input the amount of zombies attacks, Input the monsters AC, and have it output only the ones that hit and their damage. So as to not clutter up chat when I get 10+ minions.

/em [[?{Number of minions}]] minions attack, [[?{Number of minions}d20>(?{Target Ac} - @{Minion|bonus to hit})]] minions hit /w "@{character_name}"[Roll Damage](! **Damage** [[(?{Successful Hits}*@{Minion|damage})d@{Minion|damage|max} ]]) This is made assuming you have a minion character sheet called minion and the number die they roll is their damage attribute and the type of die is the max value for the damage attribute. It is also assumed that they have a bonus to hit attribute. This goes in your character abilities section. It only outputs the number of minions attacking, how many hit, and the combined damage from all the hits. This version will tell you how many hit but it removes the ability to discern crits, unless you are a mentor you can not show the number of hits and know crits. If you want to know the number of crits you can remove the ">(?{Target Ac} - @{Minion|bonus to hit})" and it will show you all of the die rolls when you hover over the result.

I like Matthew K. 's suggestion of using Command Buttons . Alternatively, some GMs and players might be okay with using a single damage roll for mob attacks (in the typical spirit of 5th Edition): /em orders his ?{Zombies|4} zombies to attack! [[ {?{Zombies}d20 + 0}&gt;?{AC|12} ]] of them manage to hit AC ?{AC} for [[ 1d8 ]] bludgeoning damage. Ryan W. , which of the three Character Sheets for D&D 5E are you using?
