[Help] GroupInitiative or GroupCheck - Automate Initiative Rolls of NPCs

Hey all, So I've gone over the documentation, put tokens on the map, tried setting up full character sheets and used existing ones in the Monster Manual and I cannot get these scripts to simply automate initiative rolls for my npc tokens.  Are there any tutorials that take you through the steps from the very beginning? I don't find the documentation is clear enough to help.  Cheers.

Which sheet are you using?  I'm using the 5e OGL, and it takes a little setting up. Even if you're using something else, maybe this will help. First type ' !group-init --help ' into the chat. This will show you what groups you have right now.  You want to be sure to add the group that has your calculated initiative. For the 5e OGL this is an attribute called initiative bonus. So it's ' !group-init --add-group --Bare initiative_bonus ' then ' !group-init --del-group 1 ' to delete the default group. If you are using the Shaped sheet, I'm sure you can find the initiative attribute and do something similar.  

Thanks for the reply.  I'm using 5e OGL. I'm looking at the character tabs and there's no attribute called initiative_bonus?  Do I need to add this attribute? I'm guessing I'll need to manually calculate DEX + any bonuses in this field?  

No, it's an auto calculated field on the sheet. You can check its value by selecting a token and typing: @{selected|initiative_bonus}

Just for reference, GroupCheck cannot roll initiative without another script to actually put the tokens in the turn order (and that other script does not exist yet). So GroupInit is the better choice here.
