HELP (Migrating from OGL to Shaped 5e Sheet)

So I'm just starting up my first campaign on roll20 and I wanted to make a monster manual. So I did and its all working great, then my first player comes in and his character sheet bugs out. We change the sheet and now nothing works in the monster manual. I've remade all the monsters in the new format, but most of the macros just return error messages. (I went from the srd5 character sheet to the 5e shaped one). It's not gonna destroy my game, but I would really appriciate it if someone could either tell me what I'm doing wrong or point me in the direction of macros that work on the current character sheet. Thanks!

Maybe you should make the Subject of your post more detailed than just HELP?

For your monster manual, did you make the macros yourself, use the sheet generated ones, or make token actions referencing the sheet rolls? also, changing sheets mid game is generally a bad idea as you will likely end up with duplicate attributes that will cause macros to return incorrect values.

What system are you playing?

I made token actions referencing the sheet, but I've deleted all the monsters made with the previous sheet and made new ones, however its still not working

Hmm, ok. So, can you give some more details on how it isn't working? What errors is it giving? Did you just use the same macros as you had for the srd5 sheet?

Well most of my macros are taken from this video, and the rest are from the comments in the video where people gave like better versions of the macros for perception and saves&nbsp; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrbqdkGIa00&t=941s" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrbqdkGIa00&t=941s</a> No ability was found for %{selected|repeating_npcaction_npc_action} selected|repeating_npcaction_$0_npc_action Thats the error when I try to do attacks ^^ (The most important thing)

If you are using the shaped sheet, and update to pro, the sheet will make the tokens for you. It also has all the spells and monsters in the srd which makes playing much easier.&nbsp;

Here is the documentation for the sheet.&nbsp; <a href="https://bitbucket.org/mlenser/5eshaped/wiki/Refere" rel="nofollow">https://bitbucket.org/mlenser/5eshaped/wiki/Refere</a>... With regard to your immediate problem try this. Open the sheet for the monster you are trying to attack with. Click on the text that says Actions. This should get you a list in chat that looks something like this- Actions Adult Red Dragon Multiattack , Bite , Claw , Tail , Frightful Presence , Fire Breath (1/1, Recharge 5-6) Now click on the primary attack in that text and it will roll the attack. If you click in the chat bar (in the spot where you would type messages and commands) and push the up arrow the command the sheet uses should show up. In my case it is&nbsp; %{-KkvttHb9iQbkjJhklav|repeating_action_-kkvtz0kz5xdzlhiyomt_action} The first string of letters with a dash is the unique character id assigned to the monster in your game. The second string is the unique id for the attack. If you click directly on that attack on the sheet itself (making sure the sheet is not in edit form) and push the up arrow in the chat bar you get another form of the macro commands. @{Adult Red Dragon|output_option} &{template:5e-shaped} {{character_name=@{Adult Red Dragon|character_name}}} @{Adult Red Dragon|show_character_name} {{title=Bite}} {{action=1}} @{Adult Red Dragon|hide_gm_info} {{@{Adult Red Dragon|shaped_d20}=1}} {{attack_type_macro=[Melee Weapon Attack:](~-KkvttHb9iQbkjJhklav|repeating_action_-Kkvtz0KZ5xdZLhIyOMt_attack)}} {{has_attack_damage=1}} {{attack_damage_macro=[Hit:](~-KkvttHb9iQbkjJhklav|repeating_action_-Kkvtz0KZ5xdZLhIyOMt_attack_damage)}} {{attack_damage_crit_macro=[Crit:](~-KkvttHb9iQbkjJhklav|repeating_action_-Kkvtz0KZ5xdZLhIyOMt_attack_damage_crit)}} {{attack1=[[@{Adult Red Dragon|shaped_d20}@{Adult Red Dragon|d20_mod}cs&gt;20 + 6[proficient] + 8[str]]]}} {{targetAC=@{target|AC}}} {{targetName=@{target|token_name}}} {{reach=10 ft.}} I hope this helps. The system can be overwhelming at first glance, especially if you are not a programmer. But once you learn the rules they are pretty consistent, and the rewards are amazing. Read the documentation for the sheet, read the forum posts for the sheet you are using, and think about going pro for the advantages of having the companion script. &nbsp;Happy Rolling!
