Rolling multiple sets of dice at once in a script or a macro

Hey, I'm completely new to the roll20 API and I'm trying to work on some things for my DM to help him run some mass combat. I have a specific example, as part of a battle, an airship will roll 50 attacks with disadvantage. In the macro I know I can do [[{100d20kl50}>@{target|ac}]] or something along those lines, but that wouldn't be statistically fair for the airship (I tested this against another airship with 20AC 5 times, in each case 0 attacks hit the other airship). I thought of doing [[2d20kl1>@{target|ac}]] 50 times, but obviously this would spam the chat and the DM would have to count up all the hits. Is there any way to roll 50 lots of [[2d20kl1>@{target|ac}]] within roll20 macros or using the API? If it is the case with the API, how would one go about implementing it?

You can do it in the API. I can help with that in 3–5 days, but I'm without a computer for now.  The basic idea would be to build a string containing the inline roll repeated 50 times and pass it to sendChat() with a callback, then collect all the results and report back.

I really appreciate the offer, I'd be happy to take you up on it whenever you're free. In the meantime, I'll try teaching myself some JavaScript and have a crack at it. The resource I've found for API functions is this: <a href="https://roll20.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037256754-API-Chat#API:Chat-chat:message" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037256754-API-Chat#API:Chat-chat:message</a> Is that still up to date to your knowledge, or would you recommend a different resource? Thanks again!

That's up-to-date as a reference to the function. For learning to write APIs, here's my standard spiel: Javascript for Cats is a nice refresher for JS:&nbsp; <a href="http://jsforcats.com/" rel="nofollow">http://jsforcats.com/</a> &nbsp; I also recommend the book "Javascript: The Good Parts" by Douglas Crockford.&nbsp; It's an older book, but a great foundation. &nbsp; (Pre-javascript ES6, but you can learn those differences after.)
