Drop Down Macro Pokemon Tabletop United (PTU)

I'm trying to make a macro that can nestle multiple moves from the PTU Character Sheet in a drop-down menu. As an example, I'm trying to combine these two moves into one macro. &{template:PTU} {{critsOn=20}} {{nick=@{Sophia|nickname}}} {{name=Energy Ball (Nature Power, Forest)}} {{AR=[[1d20cs>20+@{Sophia|Acc}]]}} {{AC=2}} {{Type=Grass}} {{Frequency=EOT}} {{damage=[[3d10+10+0+@{Sophia|SPATK_total}+floor(0*@{Sophia|ATK_total}/2)+0]]}} {{dmgcrit=[[(3*(2+@{Sophia|sniper}))d10+(2+@{Sophia|sniper})*10+0+@{Sophia|SPATK_total}+floor(0*@{Sophia|ATK_total}/2)+0+@{Sophia|snipern}]]}} {{dmgcat=Special}} {{range=4, 1 Target}} {{effect=Energy Ball lowers the foe's Special Defense 1 Combat Stage on 17+.}} And  &{template:PTU} {{critsOn=20}} {{nick=@{Sophia|nickname}}} {{name=Mud Bomb (Nature Power, Wetlands)}} {{AR=[[1d20cs>20+@{Sophia|Acc}]]}} {{AC=4}} {{Type=Ground}} {{Frequency=EOT}} {{damage=[[2d6+10+0+@{Sophia|SPATK_total}+floor(0*@{Sophia|ATK_total}/2)+0]]}} {{dmgcrit=[[(2*(2+@{Sophia|sniper}))d6+(2+@{Sophia|sniper})*10+0+@{Sophia|SPATK_total}+floor(0*@{Sophia|ATK_total}/2)+0+@{Sophia|snipern}]]}} {{dmgcat=Special}} {{range=6, 1 Target}} {{effect=The target’s Accuracy is lowered by -1 on 16+.}}

So, nesting templates gets pretty messy very quickly due to the number of characters that need html replacements . First step is to remove all unnecessary ones as a matter of course (the commas in the move name and range section are key candidates). Then you want to keep all repeated content across all options outside of the query: &{template:PTU} {{critsOn=20}} {{nick=@{Sophia|nickname}}} {{name= Then you can put the rest of each move into the query bar the final }} since they can come after the query resolves. For each {{}} section you need to replace the }} with }} and this will apply to all necessary "," "|" and "}" that aren't part of attribute calls as per the wiki linked above. This should  work as intended but is untested (I've put the non-query stuff in bold for visibility): &{template:PTU} {{critsOn=20}} {{nick=@{Sophia|nickname}}} {{name= ?{Move|Energy Ball (Nature Power - Forest)|Energy Ball (Nature Power - Forest)}} {{AR=[[1d20cs>20+@{Sophia|Acc}]]}} {{AC=2}} {{Type=Grass}} {{Frequency=EOT}} {{damage=[[3d10+10+0+@{Sophia|SPATK_total}+floor(0*@{Sophia|ATK_total}/2)+0]]}} {{dmgcrit=[[(3*(2+@{Sophia|sniper}))d10+(2+@{Sophia|sniper})*10+0+@{Sophia|SPATK_total}+floor(0*@{Sophia|ATK_total}/2)+0+@{Sophia|snipern}]]}} {{dmgcat=Special}} {{range=4 - 1 Target}} {{effect=Energy Ball lowers the foe's Special Defense 1 Combat Stage on 17+.|Mud Bomb (Nature Power - Wetlands),Mud Bomb (Nature Power - Wetlands)}} {{AR=[[1d20cs>20+@{Sophia|Acc}]]}} {{AC=4}} {{Type=Ground}} {{Frequency=EOT}} {{damage=[[2d6+10+0+@{Sophia|SPATK_total}+floor(0*@{Sophia|ATK_total}/2)+0]]}} {{dmgcrit=[[(2*(2+@{Sophia|sniper}))d6+(2+@{Sophia|sniper})*10+0+@{Sophia|SPATK_total}+floor(0*@{Sophia|ATK_total}/2)+0+@{Sophia|snipern}]]}} {{dmgcat=Special}} {{range=6 - 1 Target}} {{effect=The target’s Accuracy is lowered by -1 on 16+.} }}

Thank you so much! This is a huge help.

No worries, it's a steep learning curve for sure. If any other issues/questions arise just fire away, this community is super helpful.

Using those two as an example, if the two moves had different critical hit rates say one was {{critsOn=18}} and the other was {{critsOn=20}} how would you nest this part of the macro?

You'd need to move the start of the query to include that section: &{template:PTU} {{critsOn= ?{Move|Energy Ball (Nature Power - Forest),20}} {{nick=@{Sophia|nickname}}} {{name=Energy Ball (Nature Power - Forest)}} {{AR=[[1d20cs>20+@{Sophia|Acc}]]}} {{AC=2}} {{Type=Grass}} {{Frequency=EOT}} {{damage=... etc etc

I could not get that one to work for some reason. Sorry for another macro issue, but these moves are on the PTU standard move box and when I did the html replacements for them the macro would fail. I tried moving the critical range into the inside of the macro, but that did not work nor did leaving it on the outside. &{template:PTU} {{critsOn=@{Sophia|Move1_critsOn}}} {{nick=@{Sophia|nickname}}} {{name=@{Sophia|Move1_Name}}} {{AR=[[1d20cs>@{Sophia|Move1_critsOn}+@{Sophia|Acc}]]}} {{AC=@{Sophia|Move1_AC}}} {{Type=@{Sophia|Move1_Type}}} {{Frequency=@{Sophia|Move1_Freq}}} {{damage=[[@{Sophia|Move1_Amount}@{Sophia|Move1_Dice}+@{Sophia|Move1_Bonus}+@{Sophia|Move1_dam_B_t}+@{Sophia|SPATK_total}+floor(@{Sophia|Move1_smod}*@{Sophia|ATK_total}/2)]+@{Sophia|Move1_diebonus}]]}} {{dmgcrit=[[(@{Sophia|Move1_Amount}*(2+@{Sophia|sniper}))@{Sophia|Move1_Dice}+(2+@{Sophia|sniper})*@{Sophia|Move1_Bonus}+@{Sophia|Move1_dam_B_t}+@{Sophia|SPATK_total}+floor(@{Sophia|Move1_smod}*@{Sophia|ATK_total}/2)+@{Sophia|Move1_diebonus}+@{Sophia|snipern}]]}} {{dmgcat=Special}} {{range=@{Sophia|Move1_Range}}} {{effect=@{Sophia|Move1_Effects}}} &{template:PTU} {{critsOn=@{Sophia|Move5_critsOn}}} {{nick=@{Sophia|nickname}}} {{name=@{Sophia|Move5_Name}}} {{AR=[[1d20cs>@{Sophia|Move5_critsOn}+@{Sophia|Acc}]]}} {{AC=@{Sophia|Move5_AC}}} {{Type=@{Sophia|Move5_Type}}} {{Frequency=@{Sophia|Move5_Freq}}} {{damage=[[@{Sophia|Move5_Amount}@{Sophia|Move5_Dice}+@{Sophia|Move5_Bonus}+@{Sophia|Move5_dam_B_t}+@{Sophia|SPATK_total}+floor(@{Sophia|Move5_smod}*@{Sophia|ATK_total}/2)+@{Sophia|Move5_diebonus}]]}} {{dmgcrit=[[(@{Sophia|Move5_Amount}*(2+@{Sophia|sniper}))@{Sophia|Move5_Dice}+(2+@{Sophia|sniper})*@{Sophia|Move5_Bonus}+@{Sophia|Move5_dam_B_t}+@{Sophia|SPATK_total}+floor(@{Sophia|Move5_smod}*@{Sophia|ATK_total}/2)+@{Sophia|Move5_diebonus}+@{Sophia|snipern}]]}} {{dmgcat=Special}} {{range=@{Sophia|Move5_Range}}} {{effect=@{Sophia|Move5_Effects}}}
