I put this comment on the dice tray issue as well:
I have made a macro workaround to get dice rolling in the chat box. While the Roll
class is a global, for some reason GenesysRoller
is not, which is the magic sauce to making everything work. I plucked the compiled version from a running instance, and have this macro file to do some minimal argument parsing: https://github.com/draggor/genesys-dice-textual/blob/main/foundryvtt/macro.js
The simplest usage is /macro dice roll=2dp+1da+2di
which rolls 2 proficiency dice, 1 ability, and 2 difficulty. Assuming you have your token selected, it will roll the dice as if you did it through the tray. I am currently on v11, so I don't have the foundry fix which allows for spaces in arguments, ie, description="This is some text with spaces that won't work"
doesn't work, hence in the code swapping spaces to |
and putting newlines into \n
, then re-parsing it back before passing it on to GenesysRoller.
The genesys-dice-textual program that houses the macro file is a thing I'm making to store a library of preconfigured rolls with titles and description text, so I can easily copy one, and just paste it into the foundry chat box, still very much a WIP, but here's a sample of what I have:
Screenshot: The same roll first with the dice roller, then with a
/roll
command. It'd be nice for the styling of the /roll output to match the dice roller.This is a "nice to have", not a priority. From cursory investigation it will involve a custom Roll class, a custom ChatMessage, or both.
