If I submitted in the wrong area sorry...

Okay so I was trying to make a macro that would work with three other macros. The three macros are when I'd be wielding a light mace, a longsword, and a javelin. The latter of the three on a near identical only using Dexmod for attack instead of Strmod.

I was wondering if there was a better way to do this, or a way to make this all into one macro so I could select between the two melee weapons in a window, that would modify the 1d4 to a 1d8, and add the +1 to attack for the longsword. After that I could make a duplicate and edit to make a ranged version with a second one.

With the way that I made the macro I couldn't make a critical confirm macro at the end, though considering the longsword has a different crit that would probably be too much trouble then what it's worth.

This was my attempt, so that maybe I could explain things a bit better with it, I also didn't want to just ask without trying myself for an hour or two....

Side note: Misc2-5 are there for expansion

Code 1:

Code: Select all

[h:A2=Ability2]
[h,if(A2 >= 1),code:
{
    [if(A2 == 1),code:
{
    [h:damage=1d8]
};
{
[h:damage=1d4]
}]
};
]
<table border="0"> 
  <tr bgcolor="#CC0000"> 
    <table width="100%">
      <tr>
        <td style="padding:0px 5px;"> 
          <span style="color:white"><b>Stike True {Ability1}!</b></font>
          <span style="color:Green"> <br>Zanward has a +[t:Attack1Bonus=Bab+Strmod+Misc1+Misc2+Misc3] to Attack</font>
        </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </tr> 
  <tr>
    <td>
      Zanward Greyhunt swings his {Ability1} ([t:roll=1d20]+ [t:Attack1Bonus] = {results=roll+Attack1bonus}) and does ([t:damage+strmod+Misc4+Misc5]) damage!

   </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Code 2,3,4 (Pretty Much):

Code: Select all

[t:Ability1="Hammer, light"]
[h:Misc1=0]
[h:Ability2=2]

its too vague for me what you actually want to achieve.

You have three weapons and they all three have small differences. can you point out in a table what those differences are and what the ranges of values are... e.g. this:

Code: Select all

[h,if(A2 >= 1),code:{
    [if(A2 == 1),code:{
        [h:damage=1d8]
    };{
        [h:damage=1d4]
    }]
}]

looks rather convoluted, what happens if A2 < 0 ? is that possible in your case (your code will break then btw).
If you use e.g. this:

Code: Select all

[h,if(A2 == 1),code:{
    [damage=1d8]
};{
    damage=1d4]
}]

then at least your code can't break, which you can write as

Code: Select all

[h,if(A2 == 1):    damage=1d8 ; damage=1d4]

or even faster:

Code: Select all

[h: damage    = if(A2 == 1, 1d8, 1d4)]

Honestly, no the code will never be 0 since longsword adds 1, hammer is 2, and javelin is 3. One and two, and two and three are separated as pairs since one uses dexmod, rather then str mod to damage.

But thank you for tips of how to condense it, it'll make it look better, and not be one giant mess.

well since you failed to give the table, I just made some stuff up. This is roughly where you should be heading to, both in structure of code (input, calc, output) as in fast execution. You can add the html flavour ofcourse and since that is all 'string' you can just add that to the txtOutPut variable.

Code: Select all

<!-- INPUT -->
[h:tok    = getSelectedNames()]
[h:assert(listCount(tok)==1,"Please select (only) one token first",0)]
[h:switchToken(tok)]
[h:input("weapon|Longsword,Hammer,Javelin|Choose weapon|RADIO|VALUE=STRING SELECT=1")]

<!-- CALCULATIONS -->
[h,switch(weapon),code:
case "Longsword": {
    [damage        = 1d8]
    [addDamage    = dexMod]
};
case "Hammer": {
    [damage        = 1d4]
    [addDamage    = dexMod]
};
case "Javelin": {
    [damage        = 1d8]
    [addDamage    = strMod]
};
default: {
    [assert(0,strformat("You chose %{weapon}, which is not a valid choice"),0)]
}]
[h:totalDamage    = damage + addDamage + misc]

<!-- OUTPUT -->
[h:txtOutPut    = strformat("%{tok} strikes with his/her %{weapon} and does %{totalDamage} (roll=%{damage}, mod=%{addDamage}, misc=%{misc}).")]

[r:txtOutPut]
<!-- OR -->
[h:broadcast(txtOutPut)]

UNTESTED!!

Please Identify the range and the proper codes to re-code it and by the way can you put some print screen about the weapons form?
