[Script, Call For Testers] Universal Chat Menus

Minor Update: --footer now works as Keith;s freetext suggestion. You can put any text in there, and it will be posted after the rolltemplate.

Noticed a small issue since this update: I added a footer to a macro then removed it, but a blank 'footer' is still posted after the chat menu. Also noticed the footer isn't whispered like the menu is.

I'm genuinely confused why the extra line would be appearing after you have removed the footer call. Can you post the macro text you are using? Good point about it not being whispered. I need to add that. By default it just posts in local chat. You can add /w (player name) to the start of the text there, but that's not universal, so I need to change that.
Here's the macro, but I think it's the script because all chat menus now have the blank footer post directly after. !chatmenu @{selected|character_id} {template:pc}{{charname=@{selected|character_name}}} {{type=ability}} {{smallname=Traits}} {{showchar=[1]}} {{descflag=1}} {{desc=CHATMENU}} --title:XP—@{selected|xp}/@{selected|xp|max} --Senses|Languages --title:Money—@{selected|money_cp} cp, @{selected|money_sp} sp, @{selected|money_gp} gp, @{selected|money_pp} pp --Notes,background= --separator: |
This is in the test game I set up that you have access to, btw, in case you want to see exactly what all is at work there. Also added some npcs in case you want to test with those.

Oh you're right. I was a bit sloppy with the footer revision. I can fix that quickly.

That's fixed, thanks for finding that! I updated it in the test game too.
Great, thanks GiGs!

GiGs said: keithcurtis said: Hmm. I'm also seeing that I did not realize that the OGL sheet has an acrobatics roll, and an NPC acrobatics roll. Asking a PC to roll NPC acrobatics doesn't take proficiency into account, but it doesn't throw up an error, either. I'll either need to split these into two macros (not difficult), or wait to see what you come up with for filtering. I'll edit my posted code accordingly. Awesome job! Edit: Situation also applies to Saves. I don't think that having two statblock reporters is that huge an obstacle, though. I can make the PC version a universal token macro for my players, and reserve the NPC one for DM use. I'll have to look at the D&D5e sheet and how it does this. What sort of filtering would be needed to make this work properly? The top level filter would be the "npc" attribute, which has a value of 1 for NPCs and a value of 9 for PCs.

GiGs said: I'm glad you like it Keith. The default template does take up so much space. I will probably add my own more compact version of it as a third formatting option, for sheets without rolltemplates of their own. That would be a blessing for no reason other than allowing the players of a game to avoid the big pink buttons without resorting to the GM sending everyone a Stylus definition.
Feature request For repeating sections, could a fifth parameter be added which works the same as the fourth parameter, but at lower priority? Example: For items, my chat menu splits them up by whether they are Consumable, Magic, or Mundane. Section for consumables would look like this --title:consumables --repeating_gear|name|-rollShowGear|slot|quantity where the fourth parameter is checked first, printing any items with a non-zero number in the 'slot' field as Consumable. The fifth parameter would then check if the 'quantity' field of each item is greater than zero, and print only those which meet that condition.

Ask and ye shall receive :) I have a version of the script that allows more complex filtering. You can add any number of filtering options, just add them to the end of the item's parameters. For example, in a repeating section: --repeating_gear|name|-rollShowGear|slot|quantity (Use commas for non-repeating items.) You can also check for specific values, using =, >, <. or ! (for not equal to. So --repeating_gear|name|-rollShowGear|slot|quantity>5 or --repeating_gear|name|-rollShowGear|type=magic|quantity<4 I havent thoroughly tested it, so I'm not adding it to the first page just yet. The code is below: (PS: Keith, I think the attribute name for prepared spells in 5e sheet is spellprepared , not prepared . I've changed the way names are checked, and just using prepared wont work anymore. ) Edit: updated OP, remoevd script from here.

Nice. I have now separated out ranged attacks from melee. I wanted to report on expendable resources, but the way the sheet reports them is frankly... not optimal. (Four different possible attribute names, depending on order added)
When i use the universal chat menus together with the CLR script to trigger Roll20AM i get my sounds effects twice - both when the chat shows f.ex shortbow as a skill and when the roll happens - any tips on how i can disregard the menu chat?

That sounds really clunky, Keith, I wonder why they are done that way. Torben, that sounds like an issue with how you have CLR set up, I'm guessing. Does it respond to all chat, or is there something in my script's output that is triggering it? I haven't used it, but I guess you are using it to detect certain words in chat? If you can share your setup, I may be able to spot something.

GiGs said: That sounds really clunky, Keith, I wonder why they are done that way. My suspicion is that at least the first one (class_resource) is specific to charactermancer use. I can't remember what the second one is called offhand, but then they become _left and _right (2 columns). I didn't delve too deeply, because it looked like a rabbit hole.
Thanks for that update, GiGs! Seems like it will only work if the field contains exactly the filter word, rather than seeing if the filter word is somewhere in that field. Don't suppose there's a way around that? Example: --repeating_gear|name|-rollShowGear|special=aura|quantity where items are printed even if the "special" field says "aura of faint necromancy" or "aura of moderate enchantment"

good point, i can fix that but people will have to be careful about unwanted matches.
Understood. Could another character like ~ or something could be used to indicate "field contains" rather than "field matches"?

I've updated the script in the second post, and instructions in the first. I havent used the ~ filter, I've changed the = to incorporate it. I'll repeat the rules here: The rules are: = (an equals sign):  tests if the attribute being tested is equal to the given value. If its a text field, it accepts partial matches (so if you supply a test of "=comb" it will match "combat"). ! (exclamation mark, not equal to):  the reverse of the above. For numbers, it tests if the value is different. ( !0  is not equal to zero, handy). Go text, it checks if the test is NOT included in the attribute value.  spellname!detect  will exclude any spells with detect in their name, for instance. > (at least equal) : checks if the attribute's value  is at least equal to  the given match value. Only for numbers. So >0 will include all numbers 0 or greater. >10 includes all numbers 10 or greater. < (less than):  Less than. <10 will only show values 9 and below. No Symbol:  if you just include an attribute to test, but enter no comparison, it is treated as  !0 . You are looking for any attribute value that exists and is not equal to 0 or "". This is handy for showing prepared spells, active powers or gear, and the like. Notice the behaviour of > and < is slightly different. > includes the number supplied, and < doesnt. I think this is the most likely needed behaviour, let me know if this is wrong.  Keith, I've also changed the non-roll button trigger from an = to a !, so those non-rolls that were named button= should now be button! Hope this isnt too tiresome!

No worries. This is still early stages. It's better to do big revisions now.
GiGs you are probably right.. This is my CRL - listener:  !crl \\create,name=Bow1,text=Shortbow \\sound of arrows... And this is the chat outcome: I cant find a way to get CRL to only include shortbow as a trigger if there also was a roll. /Torben

I'm noticing a minor issue where items with no value in the field are being printed when using this filter. Any idea why this could be? For example, this --repeating_gear|name|-rollShowGear|special=aura|quantity prints all items with the word aura in the special field with a quantity greater than 0, but also prints all items with no value in the special field. (It won't, however, print items that have a value that doesn't include aura , like consumable , in the special field.) In the meantime, I can work around this by entering none in any special fields that would normally be empty.

Torben, I really need to update CRL at some point, but, you can add additional sections of text to look for like this (this should look for a roll and the text shortbow): !crl \\create,name=Bow1,text=Shortbow&&## \\sound of arrows... If you want more in depth help on CRL, let's address them in a separate thread so as not to take this off topic.
Thx Scott, didnt may to highjack the thread :)

I'll fix it tonight.
First of all, thanks for this script! Adding menus for use with the official pathfinder sheet is exactly what my group needs. I'm running into an issue that I'm not sure how to address. I'm pretty sure there has to be a way but so far I haven't been able to figure it out. I have set up the macro to list spells for all levels. The issue is that if a character doesn't have say level 2 or higher spells then I get a bunch of errors for no attribute found. Is there anyway to get it to skip spell levels which aren't present?

It looks like the problem is this bit:  @{selected|caster1_spells_prepared_level_1}/@{selected|caster1_spells_total_level_1}) I think that error is caused by roll20 trying to get those attributes and finding they dont exist.  Thats not the script, that's roll20 parsing attribute values before it sends them to the script. Is there any way to to create those attributes and make sure they are zero? Although not technically part of menu creation, your question does have me thinking about adding a feature to just read attributes in the --title parameter, to avoid this problem. It does seem like a useful feature. It'll have to wait till after the weekend, I'm a bit busy right now.

Try adding a value in every per day cell for all spell levels like so then test it out. If you don't get the error message anymore, try removing all the per day values besides the ones accurate for the character's level, and test it again. I've done that with most of the characters in my game for other reasons, so I haven't seen that error message yet myself. Hope it helps!
Thanks GiGs and Seph for your time. I appreciate you looking at my issue. You were both right.  The problem is that the sheet doesn't have those attributes until you actually put a spell of that level in your list and then click the prepared box. You can then remove the spell and the error disappears because the attributes now exist on the sheet. It isn't totally ideal but I don't know what you could do differently since the sheet appears to create those attributes as needed. GiGs your script is awesome. I think this is really going to make the transition to the official pathfinder sheet for my group possible. They were spoiled by the community sheet's menus but with this I should be able to create something very similar for them.  - Meldogs

You can probably create and blank those attributes automatically with chatsetattr, but depending on how they are implemented, you might need to wait until they have fixed the problem with the API not triggering sheetworkers.
Interesting idea Keith. Also, thank you for the idea of how to setup the spell section. I forgot to mention that I might have borrowed that from the example that you posted. - Meldogs

So I was thinking of including a syntax that let you create a placeholder for an attribute(say, instead of using the @{name|attributename} syntax which forces roll20 to look for it, you could include something like {UCM|attributename|defaultvalue} - no @ symbol, UCM in place of character name). Roll20 wouldnt attempt to parse it, and the script would then look for the attribute and replace that placeholder with its value if it exists, and defaultvalue if it doesnt. I'll fiddle around with that after the weekend, and see if how it goes.

Btw, GiGs, I just noticed the ! filter doesn't seem to be working either; it currently doesn't print anything. Think it could have something to do with the issue with the = filter? EDIT: I did some more testing with the filters, and I've mostly gotten the desired results but not sure they're working as intended. My original attack macro worked as intended before one of the recent updates --title:Melee --repeating_attacks|atkname|fullattack|atktype=melee --title:Ranged --repeating_attacks|atkname|fullattack|atktype=ranged --title:Special --repeating_attacks|atkname|fullattack|atktype!melee|atktype!ranged All melee items printed under Melee, ranged under Ranged, and everything that was neither printed under Special. Now this same macro prints melee items under Melee and ranged under Ranged as intended, but all items with no attack value are printed twice—once under Melee, once under Ranged—while nothing is printed under Special. I've managed to get the desired results by changing the macro to the following, mainly through guesswork --title:Melee --repeating_attacks|atkname|fullattack|atktype=melee|atktype!- --title:Ranged --repeating_attacks|atkname|fullattack|atktype=ranged|atktype!- --title:Special --repeating_attacks|atkname|fullattack|atktype=bab|atktype!- --repeating_attacks|atkname|fullattack|atktype=fob|atktype!- --repeating_attacks|atkname|fullattack|atktype=- --repeating_attacks|atkname|fullattack|atktype=cmb|atktype!- No rush on this, obviously; I know you're busy!
Is there anyway to make parts "unclickable" other than setting each as a title? I hope that makes sense. This is the macro I'm using. The Saves are working great but the Defense Statistics can be clicked and produce an error. !chatmenu @{selected|character_id} {template:pc}{{charname=@{selected|character_name}}} {{type=}} {{smallname=Defenses}} {{showchar=[1]}} {{descflag=1}} {{desc=CHATMENU}} {{shownotes=[1]}} {{notes=**- Fort:**@{selected|fortitude_notes} |**Ref:**@{selected|reflex_notes} |**Will:**@{selected|will_notes} |**AC:**@{selected|ac_notes} |**CMD:**@{selected|cmd_notes} |**SR:**@{selected|sr_notes}}} --separator: | --title:Saves --Fort(@{selected|fortitude}),fortitude --Ref(@{selected|reflex}),reflex --Will(@{selected|will}),will --title:Defense Statistics --AC @{selected|ac} |Touch @{selected|ac_touch} |Flat-Footed @{selected|ac_flatfooted} |CMD @{selected|cmd_mod} |SR @{selected|sr} This is what it is currently producing.

Your earlier question made me think about handling situations like this more elegantly, and I hope to get some work done on this script tonight (first priority the bugs mentioned earlier).  But looking over this specific macro, I'm wondering, do you need to use a chat menu script for that one? There's no dynamically generated menus, there, you could just use standard macro text in the desc section.  The only buttons you need are for the 3 saving throws, and you can construct them like [Ref(@{selected|reflex})](~selected|reflex) or  [ Ref(@{selected|reflex}) ](!
%{selected|reflex}) (I think thats the right code, from memory.) I'm surprised to see the script being used for chat menus that have so little dynamically created content. I didnt anticipate that and need to think about handling layouts that mix dynamic and non-dynamic content better. But Scott's Menu Maker does this already, so you might want to check that out and see if its a better fit for your needs.

It occurred to me after posting, you could move the defence statistics into the desc section, and use chatmenu for the saves. Then you can format those defence stats however you want them. Something like (untested) !chatmenu @{selected|character_id} {template:pc}{{charname=@{selected|character_name}}} {{type=}} {{smallname=Defenses}} {{showchar=[1]}} {{descflag=1}} {{desc=CHATMENU \n**Defense Statistics** \nAC @{selected|ac} |Touch @{selected|ac_touch} |Flat-Footed @{selected|ac_flatfooted} |CMD @{selected|cmd_mod} |SR @{selected|sr} }} {{shownotes=[1]}} {{notes=**- Fort:**@{selected|fortitude_notes} |**Ref:**@{selected|reflex_notes} |**Will:**@{selected|will_notes} |**AC:**@{selected|ac_notes} |**CMD:**@{selected|cmd_notes} |**SR:**@{selected|sr_notes}}} --separator: | --title:Saves --Fort(@{selected|fortitude}),fortitude --Ref(@{selected|reflex}),reflex --Will(@{selected|will}),will

My original attack macro worked as intended before one of the recent updates --title:Melee --repeating_attacks|atkname|fullattack|atktype=melee --title:Ranged --repeating_attacks|atkname|fullattack|atktype=ranged --title:Special --repeating_attacks|atkname|fullattack|atktype!melee|atktype!ranged All melee items printed under Melee, ranged under Ranged, and everything that was neither printed under Special. Now this same macro prints melee items under Melee and ranged under Ranged as intended, but all items with no attack value are printed twice—once under Melee, once under Ranged—while nothing is printed under Special. I've managed to get the desired results by changing the macro to the following, mainly through guesswork --title:Melee --repeating_attacks|atkname|fullattack|atktype=melee|atktype!- --title:Ranged --repeating_attacks|atkname|fullattack|atktype=ranged|atktype!- --title:Special --repeating_attacks|atkname|fullattack|atktype=bab|atktype!- --repeating_attacks|atkname|fullattack|atktype=fob|atktype!- --repeating_attacks|atkname|fullattack|atktype=- --repeating_attacks|atkname|fullattack|atktype=cmb|atktype!- No rush on this, obviously; I know you're busy! I havent had a chance to work on this, but starting to now. I'm curious about the second version of the macro above. Why is this part necessary in so many of your arguments? |atktype!-

Why is this part necessary in so many of your arguments? |atktype!- That's the only workaround I've found to keep |atktype=melee and |atktype=ranged from printing special attack entries that have no type, like sneak attack. The attack types are selected from a drop-down rather than typed in, and a blank attack type actually uses the - character. I'm pretty certain it's linked to the issue I was having with listing gear, where |special=aura would print items that contained 'aura' somewhere in the special field, plus items with an empty special field. My workaround for that was filling empty special fields with 'none'.

Here's a bugfix release, which should (crosses fingers) address Keith and Seph's reports. Give it a try, and if it works, I'll update the 2nd post in the thread. <deleted: code here is outdated now>

! is now doing what = used to do. I'd do some more testing, but I had some bad results from a rollback and don't want to mess with the game too much until it gets fixed. I'll post the latest iteration then, since I've added more functionality. Thanks again. This script makes the OGL sheet usable for me.

I'm glad to hear it (not the rollback part - that's awful!)
Awesome! I'll be home to test it out in a few hours, and will let you know how it goes.
