Pickable Table Macro

Is there a way to make a macro that allows me to select which rollable table will be used from a macro. I thought it would be similar to the party message macro:  /w ?{Whisper|member 1|member 2|member 3|member 4|member 5} ?{Message} while also being mixed with the table auto roll macro: /w gm [[1t[Treasure-Hoard:-0-4]]] So im wondering if there is a way to make a macro that will allow me to pick between rollable tables to roll. Bonus points if the macro can let me change how many times I want to roll. Thanks for any help

Sure: [[ ?{Number|1}t[?{which|d12min7|d8min5|d6min4}] ]]

Awesome works just like I wanted! I hated having to click a few different macros to get the rollable loot tables that I wanted so this solves my problem. Thank you very much!

No problem. =D

I'd like to add a question to this. I am building random encounter tables and would like to create them as a macro. I have used The Aaron's suggestion above and that works great compared to what I had built. However, it will randomly output either the text inside the rollable table or simply just a number in which I have to hover over to see the result from the table. Is there a way to ensure that I always get the text output from the roll table result? MACRO USED: [[ ?{Number|1}t[?{which|Tier1ArcticEncounters|Tier2ArcticEncounters}] ]]

Probably those rows start with a number.  Try prefacing them with a letter.

YES!!! Good lord I've been hung up on that and it never crossed my mind that it didn't like the number. "1 half-ogre" in my table for example put the number output.  The Aaron thanks for your response good sir! Wonderful lesson learned. One step closer to running a completely open world, random game.

No problem!  The Rollable Tables, in order to support formulas and math stuff, automatically convert to a number if they begin with a number.  Not immediately obvious, to be sure. =D One other thing to note: With inline rolls if you roll multiple times on a rollable table, it will only show 1 text result.  So if you did: [[ 2t[Tier1ArcticEncounters] ]] and got "A single Squid" and "Some 23 Mermaids", it would only show one of them.  The only way around that is to either use: /roll 2t[Tier1ArcticEncounters]  or upgrade to a Pro subscription and use the Recursive Table API script.

Understood. Thanks again sir. :D

No worries. =D

The Aaron said: The only way around that is to either use: /roll 2t[Tier1ArcticEncounters]  or upgrade to a Pro subscription and use the Recursive Table API script. Or hover over the output and read the tooltip for a full break down of the table roll results ;)

Hi All, As a bit of a follow on from this topic, I am trying to have the option of selecting a coin roll from one table and an item roll from a second table. When I use the following: !rt &{template:5e-shaped} {{title=Searching...}} {{text=You search, and find [[1t[?{which|IndTreasureCR0-4|IndTreasureCR5-10|IndTreasureCR11-16|IndTreasureCR17+}]]] and [[1t[MagicMinorCommon]]]}} it lets me select the coin roll level and also rolls the item table correctly. However if I try to duplicate the request for an item table: !rt &{template:5e-shaped} {{title=Searching...}} {{text=You search, and find [[1t[?{which|IndTreasureCR0-4|IndTreasureCR5-10|IndTreasureCR11-16|IndTreasureCR17+}]]] and [[1t[?{which|MagicMinorCommon|MagicMinorUncommon}]]]}} it ends up rolling twice off the selected coin roll table and no item table. Is it simply an issue of formatting or is it not possible to do such a thing?

If you use the same label in a Roll Query, the second and later will get the value of the first.  You need to change one of your ?{which|...} to something else.  The second ?{which} is being replaced with your initial answer.

Thanks. Works a treat. Glad to find it was an easy fix: !rt &{template:5e-shaped} {{title=Searching...}} {{text=You search, and find [[1t[?{choose|IndTreasureCR0-4|IndTreasureCR5-10|IndTreasureCR11-16|IndTreasureCR17+}]]] and [[1t[?{which|MagicMinorCommon|MagicMinorUncommon}]]]}} One day I'll actually understand what I am doing :)
