Can I Make Recrusive Tables or Tables that Roll Without API Scripts

June 12 (5 years ago)

Hi there, I've been looking around on the forums and I see that there is apparently an API script which makes recursive tables (I assume this means a table that rolls to select one of several tables then rolls on that table?) which is what I'm looking for. I'm not too interested in other API features though so I'm wondering if there is any way to accomplish this without going pro.

Second best would be if I could have tables that do inline rolls but I can't seem to get this to work. Apologies if this question is common enough and been answered before.

The simple and unfortunate answer to your thread title is: no. Tables cant do inline rolls.

The recursiveTables script only exists because this isn't possible without it.

There is technically a hack way of getting some recursive rolling behavior, but I don't recall it off hand and it was pretty limited.
