I know this has been asked a 1000 times before but I couldn't seem to find the reason why my macros didn't work in older posts so I thought I'd just ask. Whenever I use the following macro
I understand you can do a similar thing with command buttons, but I prefer roll queries and I didn't want to clog my chat. I'm probably being very stupid and the reasoning is obvious, so thanks to anyone who helps.
%{@{character_name}|?{Skill check?|Acrobatics|Athletics}}it outputs %{Name|Acrobatics} (or Athletics) but never actually 'rolls' the ability just pushes it out before rolling. I imagine this is to do with the order of operations of roll20, however, whenever I try to make a macro where the abilities come before the roll query, like so:
?{Skill check?|Acrobatics,%{@{character_name}|Acrobatics}|Athletics,%{@{character_name}|Athletics}}it doesn't work either, outputting just the characters name.
