How to HIDE /roll script from player?

Is there a way I can ONLY show dice results and hide the "script/formula" in my chat? (when you mouse over your roll)
Sorry in advance, I'm not sure how to describe my questions properly as I'm not too tech-savvy. 

My player is using this to their advantage and seeing the "modifier" to my monster roll.



"Oh he rolls a +12 to his wisdom save, I'm going to HEX his wisdom". 


I would like to display only the dice results while GM can still see everything.

or...

If the GM & the player that rolls, can see his own formula. 


Also, I beg the question, "Should I be doing this?" 

Some player wants to see the break down of dice because its more fun or if they roll correctly.

To hide the formula, you can wrap it in an extra set of inline roll brackets, one of:

[[ [[1d20+12]] ]]
/roll [[1d20+12]]

As for the philosophical question, there's no right answer. I always play with hidden rolls because I want to control the tempo of the story. I know others who roll everything in the open because they want the players to know it's a game of chance. You'll have to make that choice yourself. You could ask your players what they want, or run some games with either play style and see what you prefer.

Thank you so much! One last question,


I can't seem to hide roll when I click on my monster attack.

Example: On my monster token, I click to open the monster sheet. I click "Scimitar" to attack. It would roll for attack using my monster sheet but everyone can still see it.

You can change the visibility of the attack so that it whispers to you, but you can't change the showing of the formula without editing the sheet.
