Making action macros for my players

i recently started running the Hoard of the Dragon Queen module I got for Christmas for a group of players and would like to set up action macros for each of them as some are playing on older laptops and it can take some time to switch between windows. if possible I would like to make them seperate macros (possibly nested) for their attacks (Melee and ranged), Spells, to whisper me and other players, and their saves.  I know this is quite a list but there's MORE. Could you also tell me how to set them up as a DM?  I would like to do this for them as a surprise and to avoid any lost play time during sessions.  I appreciate the help and if there is a thread with this info all laid out already (I swear I searched) please point me to it.  Thank you

Hi, Adrian . One place to start with writing macros for the 5e OGL sheet is this great video tutorial by Taking20 . You might find the other videos in their "Roll20 Master Series" relevant and useful, as well. You may also find the TokenAction Creator API Script useful to easily create separate Token Action macros for your players' attacks. The sheet's Roll20 Wiki page contains a great amount of information about sheet settings (e.g. whispering rolls to the GM ) and features (e.g. Directly Referencing Attributes ).
