[5e Shaped Companion] Character Token Attack Actions

April 03 (5 years ago)

I'm just coming back to Roll20 from a several year break. Trying to generate character token attack actions using the shaped "!shaped-abilities" function, but I keep getting "unrecognized" or "not present" errors. I've tried !shaped-abilities --actions, !shaped-abilities --attacks, !shaped-abilities --offense, !shaped-abilities --offenseMacro, etc. Am I missing something? I remember doing this in my last campaign without issue, generating attack buttons for any/all attacks in the "offense" section of the sheet. I've got the token selected, confirmed the sheet has items in that section, tried with several characters, etc.

I can't remember the command offhand, but "!shaped" brings up a chat menu with most of the options available.

Are you thinking of "!shaped-config" ? Not seeing anything in that menu for this.

I'm able to generate token attack buttons for all the monsters with the "!shaped-abilities" functions, but NOT with players.

No, "!shaped" calls up a chat menu with common commands, but apparently that isn't one of them. You are probably looking for "!shaped-abilities --attacks", found here in the documentation of the script.

Also, double check to make sure you are using the latest copies of both sheet and script. I believe the ones in the One Click represent the current versions, since Kryx no longer maintains either.

I don't get any response to "!shaped" by itself. I get an "Attacks: Not present for character" error for "!shaped-abilities --attacks".

Both were out of date. I've updated both, but the problem persists. Frustrating.

Thanks for your recommendations thus far, btw.

Just in case: "Attacks" would likely only work for PCs. Not sure, though, I haven't used the Shaped Sheet in some time.

That's what I'm trying to make token actions for: PCs.

Just fired up an old campaign and I can't get attacks to work either. Traits, yes. Not attacks. I am assuming something has changed in Roll20 coding in the last year or two. This sort of incident will likely only increase as time goes on and is the primary reason I switched to the official sheet. Otherwise the Shaped sheet is a far more powerful choice.

Yeah, I agree. The shaped sheet offers soooo much customization. Too bad the site/sheet/script are falling out of sync. Thanks again for trying to help.

Doing a single bump to this thread to see if anyone else is having this issue and/or knows a workaround?

For what is worth, I also have the same trouble, and since it's a brand new game with few creatures and players at the first level, I'm switching over to the OGL sheet :/
It's a waste, the shaped sheet offer so many powerful options

I found it's not hard to manually create the player token actions, so I did that for my players. As long as the monster one continues to work, I'll deal.
