Tooltip Text?

Anyone know of a way to make a bit of text with a tooltip? Sort of like when you roll and you can hover over it and see the breakdown. I'd like to be able to condense some of the explanations of what is happening down so that less of the chat window is taken whenever my character performs certain abilities.

You can use the inline roll itself. The full trick is courtesy of aranador who posted it on the stupid tricks thread .

I had forgotten that one. It's a good trick.

Yep, I think I need to go rework some macros I've got for my weekly of game. They could really benefit from this breakdown.

Ah, his trick does it a bit better than how I was trying. I was just doing [[0[Text here]]]. I like there's much better. I was also experimenting with using command buttons to have a pop up appear. Like so: [Greater Trip](!?{Successful Trip Provokes}), it gets the job done. But looks and acts clunkier than I would have liked. Thank y'all, think I'll go with aranador's trick if I don't see something better.

I'd completely forgotten about that great trick, too. I'm going to have to look through that entire thread again when i get time, so much clever stuff in there.
