I'm having trouble using a macro.return function in a frame. Basically, I have a frame that takes player input. I send that information to another macro to be calculated. What I'd like that to do, is use a macro.return function to then display that information at the bottom of the same frame. It seems, though, that macro.return isn't working <form action***>.

A, is this even possible?
B, if not, is there some workaround? Perhaps reloading the same frame from the same calling macro with new jsons?

its possible, but not with macro.return. a different method is required: Forms tutorial

Not exactly what I was looking for - I used that tutorial to build my onChange~ character sheet. However, I just used a workaround like I mentioned above where the sheet is simply re-opened with the rolled information in place. Didn't want to do that, because it's a lot trickier, but since a simple macro.return wouldn't work, I guess I had no choice.

Thanks for the response, Wolph!

Yeah, there's no javascript so any changes made require the form to be redrawn. It's usually called a call back from another function. So, the macro you call needs call the callback to redraw the frame.

FYI there is some javascript support in the dev version and my fork, although I have not played with it at all... Do a search and you should find some info?

Again, not sure if it will help you in this situation though, it's mostly an alternative way of doing macro logic AFAIK.

I know absolutely nothing about javascript, and pretty much any html I use, I just use w3schools to tell me what I'm doing XD.

I just used the normal method of [openFrame] macro, [theSheet], and refreshing it all through macro.args. I was honestly just looking for a shortcut to that process, but it is what it is, and I'll get the job done one way or the other!

Thanks though, Jamz.

No problem, definitely stick with what you are doing then!
