Hi!
I'm pretty new creating macros and I am having a lot of trouble. I just want a dropdown with default tables as output.
Which attack are you doing? And then to select between sword or dagger. When picked one of them, the default table with two lines are displayed, one line for attack roll and one for damage roll.
Is that so hard? Could you please help me?
Thanks a lot!!!
Hi Jaun,
What sheet/system are you using? There may be some easy solutions available depending on your sheet/system.
IMO, instead of trying to wrestle with drop-downs, character substitutions and nested queries... I would recommend Chat Menus (make an "Attack Menu" macro that includes buttons to roll a weapon's attack and damage)
Well, I'm using DnD 5e but we are not using the sheet because we have it on DnD Beyond. You could say we don't use any system.
The thing I want to do -If it's posisble- is to have this...
...after a dropdown.
What attack are you doing? -> Dropdown to select (Sword) (Dagger) -> It shows the default template (see above) after choosing.
Thanks!
100% possible, might require some knowledge of the html replacements Vince linked to. What sort of information is needed to be entered manually? Attack bonus, damage bonus etc? Do you have no attributes stored in Roll20 at all?
The essence of a drop down query is to give set results based on your selection, if all you need to do is vary the attack/damage mod then you are best off with a basic template like your example with manual queries:
&{template:default} {{name=Attack}} {{attack=[[1d20 + ?{Attack Modifier}]]}} {{Damage=[[?{Damage Calculation}]]}}
You could replace the attack/damage calculation with a couple of preset options though:
&{template:default} {{name=Attack}} {{attack=[[1d20 + ?{Attack Modifier|Melee,2|Ranged,3}]]}} {{Damage=[[?{Weapon|Sword,1d8+2|Dagger(Melee),1d4+2|Dagger(Thrown)|1d4+3}]]}}
To only have 1 query to rule them all you will be in html replacement territory but once we know more of your setup we can address that accordingly with some examples for you :)
