Background
Created an "info" macro to spit out some basic info about a monster/NPC/PC/mook into the chat so that I don't have to constantly open a character sheet to see what that particular creature has. Just because someone is sure to ask here's the macro in question;/w gm &{template:default} {{name=@{selected|token_name} }} {{Wpn0=@{selected|repeating_weapon_$0_WeaponName}|s-m @{selected|repeating_weapon_$0_DamageSmallMedium}|L @{selected|repeating_weapon_$0_DamageLarge} }} {{Wpn1=@{selected|repeating_weapon_$1_WeaponName} |s-m @{selected|repeating_weapon_$1_DamageSmallMedium} |L @{selected|repeating_weapon_$1_DamageLarge} }} &{noerror} {{Wpn2=@{selected|repeating_weapon_$2_WeaponName}|s-m @{selected|repeating_weapon_$2_DamageSmallMedium} |L @{selected|repeating_weapon_$2_DamageLarge} }} {{Wpn3=@{selected|repeating_weapon_$3_WeaponName} |s-m @{selected|repeating_weapon_$3_DamageSmallMedium} |L @{selected|repeating_weapon_$3_DamageLarge} }} {{Align=@{selected|Alignment} }} {{ThAC0=@{selected|THAC0} | **Move**=@{selected|Movement}"}} {{Notes=@{selected|Notes} }} &{noerror}
Edit: AD&D 1ed sheet
Problem
On a sheet where not all the weapons are filled in (for example) it spits out some pretty funky output into the chat for the missing attributes, which is "normal" for this option :-/ . But it also spits out all the "No attribute was found for..." garbage from the missing items first, which I was trying to avoid by using this option.Looking at some of the other posts on the site I realize that the &{noerror} flag doesn't (really) work when there are missing attributes it is looking for. It will spit something out into the chat depending on whether it exists, etc. I can sorta/kinda/maybe live with that. Here's my problem though, when I go to run the macro on a creature (with missing weapons for example) it spits out all the error messages about the missing items before actually running the macro, buuut if I open the macro to edit it, and hit the "test macro" button w/o actually changing the macro at all it just spits out the macro with no error messages first. O.o? Granted I still get the funky text inside the macro output for the missing items, but at least I don't have the page or two of garbage telling me that that item is missing. I played around some with fixing this, but no joy. What am I missing here? I could have sworn it was working properly the other day, but that could just be the head cold and cold meds talking (kinda making me loopy).
If someons can suggest a better way of doing this, I'm all ears.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
