I like that you tell us in advance the macro functions before getting into the nuts and bolts of them. Great intro. having the macros made or discussed in here in the description would be a great addition to the video especially since the dice roller didnt work for me since it was hard to read.
you could have posted the macros in the doobliedoo...instead of having people squint their eyes and go back and forth from your video to the game they've got set up. i'd forgo the entire video just to have simple access to your macros. maybe it's on your server somewhere i don't know but for someone coming from your youtube video it would have been very helpful.
9:10 if you can't see, neither can we. A tip for recording tutorials with screen capture, lower your screen's resolution to 1280 x 720 max so that people using laptops (or even phones) can also have a chance to read.
@20:45 - You could also say "{{name=D20 + ?{Modifier|0}}}" and then change the Result to be "{{Result = [[1d20 + ?{Modifier}]]}}" because Roll20 is smart enough to see that it's the same prompt so it'll reuse whatever input you used. Then, the "D20 + ???" becomes "D20 + "
First, this is a great video, so thank you! I'm following along but when I create my own D6 roll - and this is a small thing - but I can't get the name centered like you have it. The name (D6) favors the left side and the result is more right. Not a big deal, but I like things centered. Any suggestions? Thank you again!
I have looked around but I can not find a simple list of Macro Operators and Elements. For Instance: Some of the macros start /r, others /w. That tells me there may be others. The use of & does what? What has to be incased with [, {, or (?. What I am looking for is a source to look at that lays this all out like a computer language with syntax, operators, and elements. Does anyone know where this treasure is buried and what I need to defeat to calm it?
I tried the selected token macro and it doesn't seem to work on all of them. It works for one of them but gives me the error that if couldn't find the one I have selected for the others
Hi, I've followed your instructions to a T, but my "GM-Roller" macro does not function properly. It shows up how it should with the highlighted buttons, and when you click on them, it asks for data input (modifier or number of die), however nothing happens when i submit the input. The simple D20 button does not do anything either when I click on it. I tried deleting and re-typing the macro out several times and adjusting spacing but nothing will make it function. The original macros work perfectly when used on their own, just not within the GM-Roller macro. HELP!
Same here, my guess is that the coding to show the results of the called macros is missing or changed since the video was made. IF you figure it out please post back. Thanks
Actually I have an issue. I followed the final macro you made and it works up to a point. It brings up my choices of dice macros I made (d4 d6 d8 etc). I choose the one I want. (All of my die macros are rolls with modifiers) so it asks how many and asks for modifier. But then it never shows a result. I don't understand why? It doesn't make sense. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Do you have the right number of brackets at the end of the macro? You need 2 regular and 2 curly brackets at the end or it will work up to like you said and then will just put the name of the roll in that purple bar but no results.
I'm having a similar issue. The {template} output is fine and the button is usable, however; the nested macro goes through its paces of selection but does not output properly to the chat. The nested macro works fine on its own when clicked from the macro bar and outputs properly there. It even acts as if its working from the {template} until it's time to display an output. Could it be a html error from the nested macro? Maybe there needs to be some character replacement? Dunno, its just an idea about nested queries.
I had this same issue but a think i found a solution... you just have to put the code
between the ! and the # symbols when calling a macro.. it's somithing like: [D???](!
#macroname) it worked for me, if you want to take a look on a roll20 forum topic where i found it, here is the link: app.roll20.net/forum/post/5899495/stupid-roll20-tricks-and-some-clever-ones/?pageforid=5927072#post-5927072

For anyone coming to this late - the tool bar on the left, has a little d20 symbol. Click on that. You can then roll any of the basic D&D types of dice.
I've watched four or five videos and yours is the first that has given me an actual grasp on building macros. Thank you!
Hi guys, the commands that I take from the video (some words in spanish, change it)

The up arrow after clicking on a character sheet is AMAZING tip, exactly what I needed.
I am so excited to watch this video! I just recently picked up a pro account on Roll20... you are going to be my Roll 20 sempai, Sempai.
I like that you tell us in advance the macro functions before getting into the nuts and bolts of them. Great intro.
having the macros made or discussed in here in the description would be a great addition to the video especially since the dice roller didnt work for me since it was hard to read.
Very good info and well explained. Thank you for making this!
you could have posted the macros in the doobliedoo...instead of having people squint their eyes and go back and forth from your video to the game they've got set up. i'd forgo the entire video just to have simple access to your macros. maybe it's on your server somewhere i don't know but for someone coming from your youtube video it would have been very helpful.
I didn't know you could make nice templates for your rolls in the chat. This video was pretty helpful.
Most games will have their own unique templates.
Great video. You should have put the macros in the description of this video! That would be super helpful.
Hey there Game Master. Great video. It helped me a ton. Question: Can you resize the macro quick bar? Thanks.
Great job. Helped me solve some issues I was having. Do you have a button for rolling skills?
It is giving me the same issue, I work on figuring out how to fix it if possible, give me a day or so to look into it. Thanks all for the support!
Thanks for the tips GMD!
9:10 if you can't see, neither can we. A tip for recording tutorials with screen capture, lower your screen's resolution to 1280 x 720 max so that people using laptops (or even phones) can also have a chance to read.
This was amazing! Thank you so much!!
Thank you. Made me look like I knew what I was doing. Well....I guess I did after watching you.
Thank you so much! I wanted to know how a macro was made! :D
Very good video, you explain things well. Is it possible to include a link to the macros I your video description?
you should have posted the macros in the description. I find that helpful. Otherwise well done.
To easily whisper a roll to the gm, you can also do /gmroll and then the roll.
the "line" on the slash is simply called a "Vertical line" or if you run with the Linux crowd, it's referred to as "pipe"
It’s never known as “vertical line”, it’s always “pipe”.
@@thepacketnarc7634 Necro post much? sorry that my experience obviously differs from you and Tom's.
@20:45 - You could also say "{{name=D20 + ?{Modifier|0}}}" and then change the Result to be "{{Result = [[1d20 + ?{Modifier}]]}}" because Roll20 is smart enough to see that it's the same prompt so it'll reuse whatever input you used. Then, the "D20 + ???" becomes "D20 + "
Thanks dude - very helpful
No problem!
You can make a macro for token whisper @target. That way, you don't have to select the token first.
It would be awesome if you put your macros with the formatting in your videos description. Love the video though.
Please, do more Roll20 videos, specially a video about more advanced macros
I will see what I can do.
The curly bracket is called a "French Bracket" The vertical line is called a "Pipe"
First, this is a great video, so thank you! I'm following along but when I create my own D6 roll - and this is a small thing - but I can't get the name centered like you have it. The name (D6) favors the left side and the result is more right. Not a big deal, but I like things centered. Any suggestions? Thank you again!
ditto
And to answer your question, the { } are called braces or curly brackets
Is there a way to do Wisdom modifier + Intelligence Modifier / 2 + Proficiency Modifier macro based on the token that you have selected? Much thanks.
many thanks
any chance you could post your macros so we could copy and paste them....This is great stuff,,,,thank you

Curly bracket is actually correct. They are also known as braces.
Great video bud but please save some air for me lol
I tried making the GM roller but when I click nothing happens :( any help ?

too bad you did not post macros in description sure would be easier
Macros since no one else seems to have listed them.

unfortunately I found no way to automatically get the current user's name and fill it in...
D???:
/w gm &{template:default} {{name=Dice Roller}} {{Results=[[?{How many}d?{Die type} + ?{Modifier|0}]]}}

GM Roller:
/w gm &{template:default} {{name=Die Roller}} {{Die Types=[D???](!#D???) [D20](!#D10)}}
I could not actually get this to work, it'd appear in the chat as intended and hovering showed the hand icon as if I should be able to click it, but it never actually ran the macro.

Token Whisper
/w @{selected|token_name} ?{Message}
Party Whisper
/w ?{Whisper|Brian|name2|name3|...} ?{What}
notes:
?{Caption} - string prompt
?{Caption|InitialValue} - string prompt with starting value
?{Caption|list|of|options} - dropdown
?{Name of Query|Label 1, value1|Label 2, value2} - dropdown with differing shown name and value
@name - targets Player
@{selected|token_name} - targets selected token's linked character
@{|} - targets selected token's linked character
target can be "selected" token, "target" for picking in game, or a character's name.
Can someone tell me why my D20 macro isn't centering the name on the template. I can't find what I'm doing different.
Also Thank you very much for this video it's exactly what I was looking for.
I came here to ask the exact same question. I notice you have no answers, though. :(
You really need to zoom your screen if you want people to be able to read the tiny text in the macro fields. It is virtually indecipherable.
Hi gamers, Said 3 times within 30 seconds.. I feel so welcomed :D
Macro for whispering and copying in the GM. Not my work.

For anyone coming to this late - the tool bar on the left, has a little d20 symbol. Click on that. You can then roll any of the basic D&D types of dice.
Three times I heard the same wasted time intro and one of those times you even added "let's just jump right in" followed by the third intro! Fuck
