Changing rtype with macros?

Hey all. So I have a character with Elven Accuracy and need to be able to roll 3d20s at certain times when I get advantage. I found a nifty little way to do this over on Reddit with the following code:  {{query=1}} ?{Advantage?|Normal Roll,&#123&#123normal=1&#125&#125 &#123&#123r2=[[0d20|Advantage,&#123&#123advantage=1&#125&#125 &#123&#123r2=[[2d20k1|Disadvantage,&#123&#123disadvantage=1&#125&#125 &#123&#123r2=[[1d20} The unfortunate part about this is it requires me to go into Attributes and Abilities and change the rtype to this code when I need the extra advantage, then go back to it and paste the regular code in when I don't need it. Is there a macro or api I could use to change the rtype between the 2 different codes?

Unfortunately, editing the character sheet via macro requires the API.

Alrighty, and which API would that be? I was trying with TokenMod at first but then I remembered I was trying to change the sheet and not the token itself. Would it be ChatSetAttr? Through the use of the --replace function I'm guessing? Not quite sure how though ^^

ChatSetAttr is the script, yes. I'm not sure how easy the command would be. There are a lot of escaped characters in there. Also, I believe --replace has to do with character substitution.

Hmm, so I tried it with --replace and it mostly worked. This is what I tried: !setattr --sel --replace --rtype| {{query=1}} ?{Advantage?|Normal Roll,&#123&#123normal=1&#125&#125 &#123&#123r2=[[0d20|Advantage,&#123&#123advantage=1&#125&#125 &#123&#123r2=[[2d20k1|Disadvantage,&#123&#123disadvantage=1&#125&#125 &#123&#123r2=[[1d20} So when I click this macro it gives me a drop down menu that asks for Normal/Advantage/Disadvantage. If I pick Advantage it doesn't set to Query Advantage but to Always Roll Advantage. It also displays this in the chat(Cynric is the name of the token/character selected): Setting attributes Setting rtype to {{query=1}} {{advantage=1}} {{r2=[[2d20k1 for character Cynric. It then proceeds to Always Roll Advantage, and the 2nd result is indeed a 2d20k1. That part I can at least leave with, but then switching back is also tricky. I tried using the same command but with Advantage Toggle and it wouldn't work. So using this macro: !setattr --sel --replace --rtype|@{advantagetoggle} just gives me this error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'substring' of undefined

It looks like ChatSetAttr is parsing all those entities, which means it will no longer work when called from a Query. I'm not sure if the script has a command for preserving entities or not. How many weapons/spells do you use which qualify for EA? If it's only a few, you might be best off just storing the modified rtype as a new Attribute, say @{rtypeEA}, and making a few custom macros for your main attacks - they would then call @{rtypeEA} instead of @{rtype} - a little bit of set up, but after that you don't need to change anything - they only need 2 characters added to the attacks ripped straight from the sheet, so it's minimal work. I've just noticed you're trying to set the sheet back to Toggle Advantage - so presumably you normally use Toggle? In that case, you'd probably want to use these values for rtype: Elven Accuracy: {{query=1}} {{advantage=1}} {{r2=[[2d20k1 Normal: {{query=1}} {{advantage=1}} {{r2=[[@{d20} No idea why they both have {{query=1}} in there, you could leave that out if you want to. But that second one is the default contents of @{advantagetoggle}. The reason ChatSetAttr didn't like it was that it doesn't know what sheet to look on - it would probably work if you changed it to rtype|@{cynric|advantagetoggle}.

Yep indeed I do normally prefer to run Advantage Toggle. So this almost worked but still isn't just quite there yet. So the Elven Accuracy portion works. When I run: !setattr --name Cynric --replace --rtype|{{advantage=1}} {{r2=[[2d20k1 It sets the sheet to Always Roll Advantage and rolls the 2d20 on the 2nd roll. But when I try to run: !setattr --name Cynric --replace --rtype|{{advantage=1}} {{r2=[[@{d20} I only get the  TypeError: Cannot read property 'substring' of undefined  error. But if I try !setattr --name Cynric --replace --rtype|@{cynric|advantagetoggle} I get the message in chat saying: Setting attributes Setting rtype to {{query=1}} {{normal=1}} {{r2=[[0d20 for character Cynric. Which shows on the sheet as Always Roll Advantage, but in reality it actually just Never Rolls Advantage.

Ah, whoops, yeah you probably want "@{advantagetoggle}" back in the @{rtype} field once you're done (rather than its value). So: !setattr --name Cynric --replace --rtype|\at{advantagetoggle} should revert {rtype] to it's default toggle value of "@{advantagetoggle}", so it'll go back to listening to the sheet setting.

There we go, that worked perfectly! Thank you very much for your time and your patience. I really appreciate it ^^

No problem! I haven't really used Toggle before, at least I know how it works now.
