Can anyone help with creating a saving throw macro which queries which stat to use?

Hi I have been using a macro to roll my monsters saves for quite a while, however it rolls ALL saves at once. I've just helped a friend who wants to use these macros to make his game run smoother, unfortunately he has a problem player in his group who tends to use a lot of game knowledge that his character wouldn't know... That's a whole other issue though. I was wondering if anyone who has more experience than I do could help me clean this up and give me advice on how to make this macro ask which saving throw i'd like to roll?

&{template:default} {{name=Saving Throws}} {{Str Save= [[1d20+@{npc_str_save}]] | [[1d20+@{npc_str_save}]]}} {{Dex Save= [[1d20+@{npc_dex_save}]] | [[1d20+@{npc_dex_save}]]}} {{Con Save= [[1d20+@{npc_con_save}]] | [[1d20+@{npc_con_save}]]}} {{Int Save= [[1d20+@{npc_int_save}]] | [[1d20+@{npc_int_save}]]}} {{Wis Save= [[1d20+@{npc_wis_save}]] | [[1d20+@{npc_wis_save}]]}} {{Cha Save= [[1d20+@{npc_cha_save}]] | [[1d20+@{npc_cha_save}]]}}

The following should work... untested as I'm in a meeting ;)

&{template:default} {{name=Saving Throws}} {{?{Save|Strength,Str Save= [[1d20+@{npc_str_save}]] | [[1d20+@{npc_str_save}]]|Dexterity,Dex Save= [[1d20+@{npc_dex_save}]] | [[1d20+@{npc_dex_save}]]|Constitution,Con Save= [[1d20+@{npc_con_save}]] | [[1d20+@{npc_con_save}]]|Intelligence,Int Save= [[1d20+@{npc_int_save}]] | [[1d20+@{npc_int_save}]]|Wisdom,Wis Save= [[1d20+@{npc_wis_save}]] | [[1d20+@{npc_wis_save}]]|Charisma,Cha Save= [[1d20+@{npc_cha_save}]] | [[1d20+@{npc_cha_save}]]}}}

The solution involves adding a query to specify the save type, without the advantage/disadvantage you could do that as just a normal query (best practice is to keep all of the common material and only query the variables). Since you want the adv/disadv in there you need to delve into the world of html replacements (in this instance replacing | with |). For more details on that check out the wiki for advanced use queries.

Thank you! It seems to work great! I'm sorry I had to distract you in your meeting though! I did look into replacing certain characters with the HTML counterparts but it seemed a bit out of my depth ): I will try and mess around with them a bit, but thank you so much!

It's a learning curve to be sure but the forums are full of people who will happily guide you through it. Once you've got the basics down it really opens up a world of opportunity. Don't worry about the meeting, it was super dull! ;)
