Dialog Displaying in Chat

[Zokka]

Hi

I have been adding macros to my player tokens (not using any framework). But when I hit a certain amount of macros, the next one displays in the chat window instead of the dialog box. I remember a while ago there being an issue with the stack size. I have upped mine to 10mg and still no good.

I would really appreciate some help with this issue.

Thanks

Stack shouldn't be that high. I would say 4 at max. The best way to avoid stack issues is to put your output in to a variable and then post the output. Also, avoid html comments. If you post your code I can suggest changes.

But your problem may not be stack. All code is posted to the chat and if you don't have autoexecute checked on the macro you clicked then the code will just stay there until you hit enter. I don't know if that is the problem but you didn't mention anything about an error or bad output.

Hi ALiasmask

Auto Execute is checked. And as I mentioned this is a simple dialog box that with different text works fine on previous macros. In fact if I begin to delete the code word by word, it will get to a point where is does display in a dialog box. This is what made me think of stack. Anyway here is the code. Very simple.

[dialog ("Conditions"):
{
<b>Blinded</b>:<br>
• A blinded creature can’t see and automatically fails
any ability c heck that requires sight.<br>
• Attack rolls against the creature have advantage, and
the creature’s attack rolls have disadvantage.
<br><br>
<b> Charmed</b><br>
• A charmed creature can't attack the charmer or target
the charmer with harmful abilities or m agical effects.<br>
• The charmer has advantage on any ability check to
interact socially with the creature<br><br>
<

[dialog("Conditions"): {
   [R: output]
}] 

You had an extra < which may have been causing problems. I recommend not using unicode characters and use html instead. Also, the single quote was a unicode character so I would replace all those with normal single quotes. If your text has a quote, change it to the html entity " instead.

Unfortunately that code doesn't work either. All I get is the last 2 lines of the code displayed in the chat window.

Correction to the last post. I missed something and now I have it working. Thanks very much for your help.

I've tested this and there is no chat output.

edit: okay, I'll post my token anyway.
