API Question.

I am curious if you can add a drop down menu for KABOOM for the type of Fx.  My script I am working on is !KABOOM ?{Knockback Distance|10} ?{Radius|20} --?{Acid|Blood|Death|Fire|Frost|Holy|Magic|Slime|Smoke|Water} My goal is to have the ability to adjust the distance and radius which is working fine. The menu works, but the effect does not. I get the default fire. So I already know the issue lies with me, but what could I do differently? Is my goal even possible with this API?

The issue is with your query. They way you have it set as --?{Acid|Blood|Death|Fire|Frost|Holy|Magic|Slime|Smoke|Water} there is nothing being passed to the script. Format you query like this :--?{Which affect|Acid,acid|Blood,blood|Death,death|Fire,fire|Frost,frost|Holy,holy|Magic,magic|Slime,slime|Smoke,smoke|Water,water} There is a wiki on the advanced usage of queries in macros. located here

Thank you very much Mark (GM). I am obviously new to coding/macroing. I get "in over my ski's" very quickly. I am still watching Nick O's videos over and over, and still managing to mess them up. So needless this is a bit stressful to me, but I get so happy on game day for sure. Ive been struggling with his loading screen trick. I got it to work once, but now its not working again. Well anyway, thank you for helping me. I would have never figured out that query difference. There are many people in these forums that are much better at this than I, so I tend to ask questions once I get frustrated.

No worries glad it helps and totally understand. Learning how to write macros or coding of any kind takes time. Its like learning a second language the syntax take practice till it clicks. And feel free to ask that's what these forums are for and is one of the great benefits of roll20.

neat

I try to at least research it as much as I am capable of before asking, but yes eventually I make it to the forums when I get stumped. I've come a long way as I never have done anything like this until last fall. so I have learned so things basically by watching videos and by trial and error. Most of all, from all the amazing people on this forum. There are a lot of people who help newbies like me all the time so to you and all the others 'Thank you!'
