Help with simple macro.

Hey guys! In my session my players prefer when the dm makes hidden insight checks so i made a macro for myself. The point is that this macro looks messy is there any way to make it work better, look better? Here is the macro(without stars of course).

You could make it a little nicer by using the default roll template. https://wiki.roll20.net/Roll_Templates#Using_Roll_Templates

Something like this:

/w gm &{template:default} {{name=Insight Rolls}} {{Agni=[[d20+@{Agni|insight_bonus}]]}} {{Avril=[[d20+@{Avril Nezerro|insight_bonus}]]}}

Would end up looking like this:


Thanks that looks a lot nicer!

Depending on the character sheet you are using, you can also use the templates from that sheet to merge the rolls into templates it has.

Roll a trigger from the character sheet, select the one you like the presentation of, and press the up arrow while in chat, this will give you the details of template and the data linked to it in the roll.

Play around with that data till you find a way to display the rolls you want correctly.

For example D&D 5e by Roll20

&{template:traits} {{name=Insight Check}} {{source=Hidden GM Roll}} {{description=
**Agni** - [[d20+@{Agni|insight_bonus}]] (P.Insight [[10+@{Agni|insight_bonus}]])
...
**Valentino** - [[d20+@{Valentino|insight_bonus}]] (P.Insight [[10+@{Valentino|insight_bonus}]])}}

That's kinda neat, didn't know that. Thanks! :)

I was going to add, depending on your style, you may want to add an extra line of code in the top that says something like....

/desc The characters take a moment to glean clues from body language, speech habits, any changes in mannerisms in a bid to decide if they're being lied to! (DM rolls some insight checks)...
