Hi,
can I activate js with a roll event button? And when exactly does it get executed?
Is this possible?:
<button type="roll" name="act_test" value="[[@{mytext}]]"></button>
...
<script type="text/worker">
on("clicked:test", function () {
setAttr ({ mytext : "{{name=Dagger}} {{attack=1d20}} {{damage=1d6}}" });
I think i found the answer myself. It was pretty plain in the open.
https://wiki.roll20.net/Building_Character_Sheets#Sheet_Rolls_and_Roll_Buttons
Now I only have to fiddle for the right syntax :)
An action button can trigger sheetworkers, but rolls or roll buttons cannot. API Scripts could.
Either way, both custom character sheets and API scripts are Pro features only.
Are you sure? The reference i found is from the old wiki, so maybe that changed. I found nothing about this topic on the new site (the zendesk domain).
It would be of use in a general sheet, so API is no solution. My current user status should be of no interest.
Does the name attribute at least still exist? So I could access the roll with a macro?
The reference you found is about roll buttons. With a roll button you can send to chat, but cannot activate sheet workers.
With an Action button, you can activate sheet workers, but you cannot send to chat.
These are fundamental limitations of the two button types, and you cannot bypass them.
The API is something different, and can do both of those, but requires a Pro subscription for the campaign's GM.
The reason people are mentioning your current status is because you look like a free user, and from time to time, free users dont realise they need Pro to use Custom Sheets or the API, so they are trying to help you out by letting you know this.

I'm not sure what you're asking for here.
