How do I call another macro?

January 13 (11 years ago)
Never used nested macros before, I tried setting this up according to the wiki:


but all it prints out is this:

The format for Macros is #Macroname rather than #{Macroname}.
The format for Abilities is %{Charactername|Abilityname}

Also, if the goal is to choose the highest roll you can combine the two rolls by doing the following:
/r 2d20kh1 @{Dex} +@{Level}

Thanks for the tips on rolling. However I've already tried #Macroname with no success.

It looks like you are using Abilities, not Macros.

Are spaces allowed within Charactername for calling abilities?

E: I think this was the problem. I was trying to link to a character using a dash instead of a space, since thats how it works everywhere else

Yes, you can put a space in a character's name.
