Casting a spell of different levels in a macro, with crit damage included? (5e, shaped sheets)

Hi guys, I wouldn't be posting if I havent already wasted an hour trying to find what I was looking for. I'm making a pally/sorcerer (paladorc) What I wanted was for a nice line of macro buttons at the bottom of the page, letting me choose from a few options in the right order for my most common methods of attacking. The ones in bold are what I am currently missing, with number 3 being the most critical, the bold sections of 1 and 4 are quality of life things, not as critical. So far I have the following: - 1. Do I want to cast a smite spell? If so which one and what level? Pings the char with my choice (done). Would be nice to also eat spell slots from the char sheet if possible, but doing it manually isn't such a huge hassle. - 2. Roll to hit (easy, done). - 3. Cast the smite spell, (fine with going through the spell and spell level selection again). Thunderous smite will always be 2d6, but searing smite scales by 1d6 per additional level upcast. Needs to include crit damage alongside the main one. Would be nice to ping the chat with the saving throw for additional effect info as well . This one isn't done at all, nothing I find works. 4. Main damage of the spell, booming blade or GFB ( done, it's two seperate buttons though, one drop down choice one would be nice ). Including main weapon damage, GWF and half orc savage attacks 5. Do I want to use divine smite? If so at what level? Includes crit damage. Would be nice to eat spell slots from the char sheet. 6. Do I want to use the half-orc racial feat 'orcish fury'? Includes crit damage. Any advice on how to make a drop down menu macro that lets you pick spells at different levels, shows crit damage and maybe pings the chat with the saving throw info? Thanks all for reading!

Using a spell slot automatically will only work if you have the script installed. To use the script you must be a Pro user. If you do there is a Smite class feature under Paladin that'll do it automatically. - Smite and Smite spells are different by RAW. Creating one macro to choose from them would be possible, but it'll need to be a chat macro. Probably easier to use the built-in spells macro (see the setting tab of the sheet) to choose from spells. An attack/spell (greatsword/booming blade) are different from a smite. A smite is something added on later. You could use attachers if you want to make it automatic. I would use the  fighter method on the wiki . Same as 1? Use the built in class feature Do you mean Savage Attacks? That doesn't apply to smite or smite spells as smite is not weapon damage dice: "Savage Attacks: When you score a critical hit with a melee weapon Attack, you can roll one of the weapon’s damage dice one additional time and add it to the extra damage of the critical hit." I would highly recommend not using drop down menus - they are not supported well within roll20. Chat macros are the method the sheet provides.
