Quick Initiative Rolls

Alright so im looking for a way to quickly roll initiative and add it to the tracker. Some sort of way to target self. is this possible? i have an initiative macro built into each of my characters that works fine if you select your token. i want my players to just be able to hit the macro tab and it auto selects and runs the roll. right now im using the macro /em is rolling for initiative /roll 2d6 + @{initiative}&{tracker} and it works if they pre-select their token. I want o bypass the selection step. is this possible? Or as GM by selecting all tokens within an area (click and drag) and just hitting an initiative macro tab and running the whole shebang at once. Should be easy but im having issues figuring out macros. any help is appericiated
You could make it a token macro, so they need to have the token selected in order to hit the macro button. But as an answer to your question, I think someone else asked the same thing a couple weeks ago and the official answer was no that can not be done at this time.
No, there is currently no way to do either without resorting to the API.
Darn I has hoping. Thanks anyway
Make it a macro in the Settings-tab (upper right of the screen) not an abilitly in the char sheet. /r 2d6 + @{selected|initiative}&{tracker} And then select "Show as Token Action" there. It works pretty much like what you do, but you don't have to add it to every singly character sheet anymore. All you need now is an initiative attribute there. So it doesn't allow you to do mass-initiative, but at least setting it up goes a bit faster. You could even use /r 2d6 + @{selected|bar3} &{tracker} for example, and you don't even need a character sheet anymore, you just write the initiative in bar3, which I believe is the left bubble. That's probably useful for mooks that you don't wanna create sheets for.
