- This video showcases 4 API scripts that can be used to speed up combat when running groups of monsters. Note this functionality is only available for Pro subscribers.
Below is the list of scripts used in this video, where they can be found, and additional documentation on each script. If you're not familiar with how to install scripts, check out this video • How to Install Roll20 ... .
Token Name Number - Available in Roll20 API Script Library - Forum post - app.roll20.net/forum/post/127...
Group Init - Available in Roll20 API Script Library - Additional Documentation - wiki.roll20.net/Script:Group_...
GroupCheck - Available in Roll20 API Script Library - Forum post app.roll20.net/forum/post/363...
Apply damage - Code here - gist.github.com/joesinghaus/9... - Forum post - app.roll20.net/forum/post/363...
Commands Used in Video:
The syntax for TokenNameNumber is:
%%NUMBERED%%
Group Init Configuration commands
!group-init --del-group 1
!group-init --add-group --Bare initiative_bonus|current
!group-init --add-group --Bare npcd_dex_mod|current
Some folks have said that these commands work better for them, so if you find your initiative bonuses are way too high, try these instead:
!group-init --del-group 1
!group-init --add-group --Bare initiative_bonus|current
!group-init --add-group --Bare npcd_dexterity_mod|current
To Run Group Init, select a group of tokens, and then use this command (or make it a macro)
!group-init
To make a Dexterity save with GroupCheck, select a group of tokens and enter this command:
!group-check --Dexterity Save
The code I ran to use GroupCheck and ApplyDamage
!group-check {{
--?{Save|Dexterity|Constitution|Wisdom} Save
--process
--subheader vs DC ?{DC}
--button ApplyDamage !apply-damage
~dmg [[?{Damage}]]
~type ?{Damage on Save|Half,half|None,none}
~DC ?{DC}
~saves RESULTS(,)
~ids IDS(,)
}}

Roll20 should just use this single video to advertise their Pro Accounts, this single handedly got me to go from free to Pro.
Same! When I saw this video I finally pulled the trigger on the Pro account! Great job @Nick!
Pretty much true. I had been gifted two months of Pro by a player... and I thought I would test out dynamic lighting.. started looking for API suggestions came across these amazing tutorials and have committed myself to PRO. Started a Castles& Crusades campaign and also debating about a Hackmaster one with so many of these helpers, it may become easier to run on Roll20 than at FLGS. Thanks MILLIONS!
@atombrain111 ya they should
0:41 - Numbered Tokens - TokenNameNumber
2:40 - Group Initiative Rolls - GroupInitiative
5:11 - Group Saving Throws - GroupCheck
7:30 - Group Damage - ApplyDamage
Thanks for the great tips! Keep em coming!
I searched for way too long to figure out why group init wasn't working. Your video saved me. Thanks!
Amazing and easy to implement.
Even though I ran into a minor issue (forgot to pull the ApplyDamage from GitHub and make it as an additional script, and some minor alteration to use bar 3 instead of 1), I was able to find the answers to get it fixed right here in the comment sections because of both Nick Olivo and some knowledgeable commenters pointing it out.
Great video, Subscribed and reviewing past videos (and excited for more to come)!
Hi Nick - Thanks for these tips.
I am using all of them in my current campaign, which has currently looped into 'White Plume Mountain'.
Managing combat for larger groups has become so much easier.
The integration of the GroupDamage script is a bit confusing for the uninitiated (me). Using the 'Raw' version did the trick.
Many thanks. I will continue to follow your good work.
Dude these are FANTASTIC videos. You've got to get those subscriber numbers up!
thank you this was amazing, i have just put them all in to my game and its has helped so much!! now watching all your other videos to see what else i can learn.
Amazing tutorial, I'm a complete noob and really struggled with this stuff. I couldn't have done any of this with without this vid. thank you
Awesome video! Group Check and Apply Damage are amazing. The numbered token was was very cool too. Thanks so much!
You just added an hour of time on to my game night. You are amazing, sir. Thank you very much.
I'm kinda new to all this but I've been following your videos and they have been so great so far. Thank you !
OMG this is so amazing!!! Thanks so much! I was always hesitant to use Macros but this video made it so easy!
Glad you liked it!
your work here really helped and I would just like to thank you
How do you not have more subscribers?! I've been binging your videos the past couple of days and they are the most in-depth explanations of API scripts and macros for Roll20 on UA-cam! Thanks for the great information!
"The barbarian brings his mighty war hammer down in a deadly arch that erupts into crimson mist as he smashes the subscribe button. Then in one fluid motion spins 'round so the head of his great weapon still moist with blood connects with the bell icon."
Glad you liked it! Many thanks to the barbarian! :)
Hands down, one of the most useful Roll20 tutorial videos for GM's on YT. Especially, if you are hoping to run a 'pay to play' game. The content here is what makes the difference between unprofessional and professional game. Well done Nick! I just hit that red sub button.
Thanks for the kind words, Alejandro! I'm glad you found it helpful!
I just paid for pro or whatever the level is and your videos have been invaluable in making that a worthwhile purchase.
These are so good. I hate throwing mobs of monsters at players because it's all so tedious, this changes things.
Your videos are amazing, a huge reason why I went Pro.
Wow this video is a game changer, thanks for making this.
Your videos are truly invaluable. I cannot thank you enough for the wealth of information you have made easily accessible. I hope your life allows more time for these informative/instructional videos. Do you have a patreon account for donations?
Thank you for the kind words, Christopher. I don't have a patreon right now, but maybe someday. Meantime, happy gaming!
Great video, really helpful! Liked and Subscribed.
This is fantastic thanks!
LOOOOOVE IT!!!!! Thank you!
I was pretty excited about this until I found out it requires access to the API. Damn.
thanks for saying this. i wouldve wasted my time & my friends time trying to figure out why its not working.
@@greenhawk3796 me same LOL
Very helpful! Thanks!
Excuse me, I need to go install some scripts... thanks Nick!
FANTASTIC video, worked like a charm. THANK YOU. Side question, is there a status entry you can enter that makes the creature X out if reduced to zero or less hitpoints after apply damage is set?
Glad it was helpful! I think this forum post will help you do what you are looking for - app.roll20.net/forum/post/8112981/bloodied-and-dead-script-gone/?pageforid=8430816
Make sure the change the API script for damage to whatever bar you use, Mine is set to 3 so had to edit API. Pretty good for someone who knows nothing about scripts
How to do that? Thanks
@@mobiledesignofficial at the top of the API script code there is a line that says bar 1, which is my green circle, i switched it to 3 and its now applied to the red circle that was the only change - swap out 1 with 3 - save - done
If anyone is having trouble getting the numbered icons to show properly. that little adjustment/movement of the token at 1:06 is the most vital step in this whole process.
Fantastic video, I have recommended your Roll20 series to many Roll20 users. I am using this without a problem. But I would like it accessible to my players who have a lot of conjure spells. For instance the Druid player in my party. He summons say 16 Wolves. Using this would be perfect for AoE spells for. So as a player he can of course drag and drop the creatures and have them numbered. Can use the group check, but when it comes to applying damage. It kicks out an error. Permission denied his end. Anyway to get around that and allow him to apply the damage to speed things up ?
Love the videos, been playing with scripts and got me interested in re-learning JAVA again. One question, if you know, when using Pathfinder and the provided character sheets, can the Initiative bonus pulled from the sheet automatically and added to the scripts so when I select all the tokens, as a GM, I can roll everyone's initiative together? Again, thanks for the hard work and keep making videos!
Thanks for the kind words! Yes, that should be possible, you'd just need to configure group init for use with the Pathfinder character sheet, which is defined here - wiki.roll20.net/Script:Group_Initiative#Configuring_for_Specific_Sheets
@@NickOlivo I tried some different things, had trouble with group initiative, so actually used the init scrip, and made a macros for each player. Little bit of work, but works. Been watching and adding the things I can you have posted and tweaking them. Re-learning JAVA, getting interested again. Really appreciate the hard work. Thanks!

Hi Nick - these videos have been amazing and extremely useful!
I was wondering if you knew of a script similar to Token Name Number where you can indicate a monster's damage status with some text. For example:
% is health remaining:
100-80% - Scratched
79-40% - Bloodied
40-20% - Near Death
Thanks again for all your hard work!
Glad you like the vids! There is a script like that, you can read more about it here- app.roll20.net/forum/post/2139713/script-aura-slash-tint-healthcolor
For Group-Init , I had to modify the set up script to reflect my Character sheet.
I use the 5e for roll20 and the Dex modifier uses the full name. So I was getting a +14 bonus to the roll because the script was actually using the Dex score and not the modifier.
Instead of
!group-init --del-group 1
!group-init --add-group --Bare initiative_bonus|current
!group-init --add-group --Bare npcd_dex_mod|current
I had to use
!group-init --del-group 1
!group-init --add-group --Bare initiative_bonus|current
!group-init --add-group --Bare npcd_dexterity_mod|current
The real Pro Tip is always in the comments. Thank you. You're a lifesaver!
Wonderful videos you´ve uploaded! helped me a bunch! A Question.. 'Have you Kobolds and other monsters portraits before you drag then to the map? Because when i do it, they are blank. (The rest works like a charm)
I purchased the Monster Manual from Roll20, which gives you access to all the official monster's artwork.
Ah yeah, i´ve done that aswell. Do you copy the artwork manually? or is there a script or macro to copy it directly?
When you drag a monster from the compendium, it should automatically use that monster's artwork on the token. If that's not happening for you, you might want to contact Roll20's support.
Ah.. i figured it out. I was making my own manual in the journal for finding monsters easy. If i had a NPC named wolf, then when i drag out a Wolf from the MM, then the token is empty from artwork. If i remove it from the journal first, and then drag it out.. it works like a charm.
Hi Nick, thank you for all the effort you put into making these video's I really appreciate it. I've run into a issue using the Numbered Tokens API script. The script works and numbers each token as I drag them onto the map but, when I go to apply damage it is applied to all tokens and not the attended target. Do you think this is a bug and do you know of a workaround?
Hi Scott - thanks for the kind words. For your token question, you need to set the monsters up as Mooks. This video talks about that - ua-cam.com/video/lOoW3LYHCuA/v-deo.html Happy gaming!
This works great, thank you so much for your video! One issue: If I wanted the GroupCheck and ApplyDamage commands to roll just to the DM, how do I adjust the code to do that?
Glad you liked it! For that, you'd add a --whisper flag to the group check command, something like this:
!group-check {{
--whisper
--?{Save|Dexterity|Constitution|Wisdom} Save
--process
--subheader vs DC ?{DC}
--button ApplyDamage !apply-damage
~dmg [[?{Damage}]]
~type ?{Damage on Save|Half,half|None,none}
~DC ?{DC}
~saves RESULTS(,)
~ids IDS(,)
}}
@@NickOlivo Awesome! Thank you so much for replying so fast. What would it be for Group-Init and Group-check? Right now I just have the !group-check --Dexterity Save
macro (for Dex checks) set. Would I just add it like !group-check --Dexterity Save --whisper for that to be whispered to the DM?
awesome.
Great video. I have a question concerning Token Name Number. How do I get each token to have different HP? I tried disconnecting it to the character sheet but I couldn't get it to work as a regular token. I could create new sheets but then that defeats the point of having the macro to number tokens I through on the table. Any thoughts?
Sure thing - you can unlink just the HP - so in the Token's properties, set Bar 1 (or whichever bar is tied to the creature's HP) to None, and you should be good to go. I've actually got another video going live tomorrow night that'll show how to do that.
Nick, I'm so grateful for your videos. I am using GroupDamage and I have a question I'm hoping you can answer. I play Pathfinder, and in that game, you can channel energy to heal in a burst. Right now, I use group damage, set a very high DC, and then add the HP as a negative number, when then adds to the HP bar. So, this is a step in the right direction for me. Is there a way I can convert the script so that it Automatically selects tokens in a burst around the token casting the spell? Essentially, player hits the ability and it selects characters around him, and then applies the HP to their bars? If you could even put me in the right direction, that would be helpful.
Hi Sean! I'm glad the vids have been helpful. I'm not sure of a way to have the script auto select tokens adjacent to the selected token, but if you post over on the Roll20 API forums (app.roll20.net/forum/category/46806), someone there might be able to help you out. Good luck and happy gaming!
This is great, much easier to set up than i expected. Thanks for doing the video. Just to clarify, the group check macro works on any combination of tokens, even if they draw from different stat blocks? Not sure how to verify that the results are correct but I get no errors when I clump different tokens together.
Glad you liked it! And yes, the group check/apply damage scripts will work on any combination of tokens.
Nick Olivo Is there a simple way to modify this to also add the option of applying a status (or triggering a status marker) to tokens that fail? Both with and without damage? For faerie fire for instance?
I don't know of a way to do that, sorry. The author of the script has a thread about it here -app.roll20.net/forum/post/3631602/script-groupcheck-roll-checks-saves-et-cetera-for-many-tokens-at-once/?pagenum=1 He might be able to point you in the right direction.
Great Video!! I am having an issue with the Groupcheck and Apply Damage Macro effecting my tokens. I normally put the Token health on Bar 3 instead of Bar 1, and the damage is not applying to Bar 3. Do you know of anyway to fix that?
Never mind, I figured out the issue and changed the default bar in the main code from 1 to 3. Thank you!
Thanks Nick. I was gifted by my generous players an upgrade from plus to pro, and so I'm making this count. As a quick question. Once you have configured group init i don't need to delete the bare and mod commands right? I don't need to make macros for them. Correct?
Glad you like the vid. I don't use those commands myself, so you can skip macros for them if you'd like
Hi Nick! Great vid keep it up & just sub. Quick question my damage apply isn't working and I still can't figure it out. Any tips? thank you sir.
Thanks for the kind words! Are you getting any errors in the API screen?
@@NickOlivo yes I am
Nick, I went to Pro due to your videos. I have a question though. Do you have, or will you make, a video that allows you to Group Assign Random HP? Essentially, select a group, then I would assume use tokenMod to roll random HP for each token selected.
Glad the vids have been helpful. I think what you're looking for is the MonsterHitDice script, which is available from the Roll20 script library. I don't have plans to do a video on that right now, but maybe at some point in the future. Good luck, and happy gaming!
Hey Nick! Do you have to use the Group Init Configuration commands each time you roll initiative?
Nope! That's a one time setup command, and once it's done, just run !group-init whenever you want to load up a bunch of monsters :)
Nick, Can you use an inline roll for apply damage? I'd like to have my damage applied to a target as part of the attack process. What I am doing now as part of a Macro is this: [[(@{selected|attack}d6>3)-(@{target|defend}d6>6)]] . The output gives me successes and then I subtract that. Can I put the inline roll in the ~dmg [[?{Damage}]] query location instead? I don't need the group check API.
Thanks, and your videos are super helpful!
Glad you're enjoying the videos, Robert! From what I can tell, you can't use an inline roll with ApplyDamage.
Would have been nice to see you download the script and out it into the game. Some of us aren't so PC handy
Ask and you shall receive :) ua-cam.com/video/jam2yx8btaQ/v-deo.html
I'm having a problem with the group check where the script doesn't add saving throw bonuses to the group checks
Now my "GM" needs to get pro so I as CO-DM can start using these features.
Abolutely loved the Groupcheck and applydammage combo, what a treat ! Thanks !
But can player actually see the saving throws of their ennemies ? Is it possible to make theeses checks in a whisper mode so that only the Dm can see the values ? Thanks again.
Glad you liked it! By default, the rolls will be visible to players. You can have it be whispered by adding a --whisper command in between the {}s of the macro.
@@NickOlivo Thanks it works perfectly. Also I have an issue maybe you can help out, I tried to translate the Macro into french :
!group-check {{
--?{Js|Dextérité|Constitution|Sagesse} Js
--process
--subheader vs DD ?{DD}
--button AppliquerDégats !appliquer-dégats
~dmg [[?{Dégats}]]
~type ?{Dégats selon Js|Moitié,moitié|Aucun,aucun}
~DD ?{DD}
~saves RESULTS(,)
~ids IDS(,)
}}
Everything is working but instead of listing every rolll of the selected check, I have a list of all possible save check that I must pick : Screenshot : i.gyazo.com/fc8106654d92c1fee8cd3a7e85a5499c.jpg
Any idea what I did wrong ? Thanks in advance !
@@Satori2046 I think it's because some of the values you translated need to stay in English, as the code is expecting certain strings in various places. Try this
!group-check {{
--?{Js|Dextérité|Constitution|Sagesse} Save
--process
--subheader vs DD ?{DC}
--button AppliquerDégats !apply-damage
~dmg [[?{Dégats}]]
~type ?{Dégats selon Js|Moitié,half|Aucun,none}
~DD ?{DC}
~saves RESULTS(,)
~ids IDS(,)
}}
I'm not sure if the script is expecting that the saves will be in English or not. If this still doesn't work, I'd say try the Roll20 forums. Best of luck!
@@NickOlivo Lol it actually worked for a few minutes and not anymore. But I'm fine with english really, the whisper command was essential though. I guess most Dm's wouldnt want players to know the DD etc :p Great work and thanks a milion !
not a roll20 question but a DM question - if you have more than 2-3 monsters would you have them just all go on the same init? I realize this is just for demonstration but I'm sitting here imagining the initiative tracker with 20+ lines lol
can it be customized to account for advantage and disadvantage?
FYI: Group Init
It's been updated now so that you don't have to run the commands. When you log in after installing it, there will be a prompt in the chat window to select the Character Sheet you're using.
Good to know. Thanks, Matt!
Hi Nick, great tips, but The apply damage doesn't seem to be working when I select it in the chat menu. Any tips on that?
nevermind, read another comment where I needed to go to github and download the ApplyDamage.js script and manually import it into the API (First time doing that so it took a minute to figure out how to do that.)
so cool. brand new to roll20 thanks to quarantining. is this only for paid roll20 subscriptions?
Glad you liked it! Yes, the API is only accessible to users with Pro subscriptions.
Greetings Nick. Great video and Im super stoked to get started using them. I have been having an issue with the save with damage string. For starters Im super new to Roll20 so as a veteran DM I am trying to make the experience of my players as fun and smooth as possible. So back to the issue, I get all the boxes to show up and calculate correctly, however it does not modify damage at all. Is this an API issue I am missing, A campain setting as I do have my bar values as Bar value 1: hp ,Bar Value 2: ac, Bar value 3 blank. Can you help me fix this because I love how you have it set up.
I can also be contacted @Vayne on Roll 20 if that is easier.
The Apply Damage script is a separate install, did you load that one, too?
Question in regards to TokenNameNumber, how do you get it so that each mook you pull out has it's own HP to track? Right now they're all tied to the same character sheet, so if I enter damage for one it gives that damage to all. I hope the answer isn't make duplicate sheets for them lol
It's also worth noting that I'm using my own npc sheets for them and using Starfinder Simple sheets.
You'd want to unlink the token's HP bar - this video talks about how to do that - ua-cam.com/video/lOoW3LYHCuA/v-deo.html I don't think using your own sheets will make a difference on that.
Hey Nick, When I add multiple creatures of the same type like kobold1,kobold2 etc. Everytime I try to adjust the HP on the token, it changes it for every token. Like Kobold1 takes 2 damage, but it makes all of the rest take damage, how do I prevent this?
I talk about that in this video. Happy gaming! ua-cam.com/video/lOoW3LYHCuA/v-deo.html
I installed GroupInitiative and got a warning that it might conflict with other APIs I have installed. Have you found that to be the case? The only APIs I have installed right now are the ones you've demonstrated on your channel. I'm assuming you're running all them at the same time. Is the warning just a precaution or am I likely to have trouble?
I've gotten that message when installing scripts as well. I think it's just a precaution, as I haven't had any trouble.
Hi Nick,
Your description is first rate, but there is something that isn't working in my live version. Firstly, I'm playing Call of Cthulhu, but I don't think that should change anything. When I created a bunch of 'bad guys' (Deep Ones, CoC versions of Lizard Men I guess), I get the tokens on the battle map no problem, and they add the digits no problem, but if I allocate damage to any single one of them, they ALL take the damage.
Do you know what I've done wrong? It's like they are just clones of each other and not coming up as individual monsters.
Don't worry - I found your mooks video.
For anyone else coming along and seeing this, it's answered here:
ua-cam.com/video/lOoW3LYHCuA/v-deo.html
This is amazing.. ty
My question is.. is there away to drop a monster/npc onto the table top and randomize their hp?
I don't use averages in my campaign, so until now I have been adjusting every creatures hp manually. Is there a way to use the formula instead of average?
Keep up the great work
Glad you liked it! To your question, yes, I think that can be done, but I haven't tried it myself. This forum thread should get you started. app.roll20.net/forum/post/2324032/rolling-random-hp-for-monster-tokens-when-adding-them-to-a-map
@@NickOlivo Thanks again.
Final question and I will leave you alone.
With Group Initiative, is there a way to highlight a group of mobs, and only have 1 roll per type?
Say I had 5 goblins, 3 orcs and and a bugbear.
Since I usually roll group initiative for each type
If I highlighted the group could I have it roll for only 1 goblin, 1 orc and 1 bugbear?
Or would I just have to manually roll for 1 of each.
@@richardsimpson4875 From what I can see, you can't roll by type. There are a few other options available, though, this article describes those in more detail. wiki.roll20.net/Script:Group_Initiative#Rollers
@@NickOlivo The API is called MonsterHitDice
Does anyone know any video where they teach similar tips but for the foundry vtt?
Nick - how can I get this script - which is fabulous BTW! - to ask if the save has advantage or disadvantage and apply it?
Hi Steve - there' s an --adv parameter you can apply for that. Check out the script's forum for more information. app.roll20.net/forum/post/3631602/script-groupcheck-roll-checks-saves-et-cetera-for-many-tokens-at-once/?pageforid=3631602#post-3631602
I am having trouble with the Group initiative API. I typed everything as you did but for some reason its including other bonuses to the roll like Passive Perception. Help?
You may need to configure Group Init, using these commands:
!group-init --del-group 1
!group-init --add-group --Bare initiative_bonus|current
!group-init --add-group --Bare npcd_dexterity_mod|current
Everything works great but when running all 4 (and only these 4) my API keeps crashing due to an error. Does anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?
Using TokenNameNumber, when bar 1 set to HP, it updates all the monsters, even though they are numbered differently. Did I miss something, or can you not have mooks linked to the NPC character sheet?
You can have mooks, you just need to unlink their hp bar from the sheet - this video shows how to do that - ua-cam.com/video/lOoW3LYHCuA/v-deo.html
For some reason Group Init isn't adding the dexterity modifier for the initiative of each goblin I'm rolling for. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
There are some commands in the description of the video, those might help.
what if the monster has damage resistance to the type of damage you use? i didnt see anything about this on comments.
the group init one, is there a way to make it use d10?
vampire the requiem uses d10's rather than 20's
From what I can see, it's only using a d20. The folks over on this forum might have a better idea, though. app.roll20.net/forum/category/46806
Does anyone know how to use this with custom status markers that you can buy?
Hi, when i added the fci %%NUMBERED%% in to the label of token and assigened token to the character. I can still see just %%NUMBERED%% in labe :-/. Do you know what can be an issue? Do i need the Pro version? I have just Plus. Thx
Yes, you need the Pro version for this.
Hi Nick, another great video. I think I followed you OK but I cant get the 'apply damage' button to work. I get a message across the bottom of my screen but it doesnt stick around long enough to copy it. Any advice?
Just to confirm, you have both the Group Check script and the Apply Damage script installed?
@@NickOlivo Didnt see the apply damage api in the script library, thats what threw me - should have paid more attention, thanks
I'm sure there is a way to mod the group check macro to apply markers instead of damage? For example a wizard casts hypnotic pattern. Group check would be very handy to see who pass/fails but I would then like a 'red' marker over creatures that failed and a 'green' or no marker over creatures that passed the save. I've been tinkering trying to use commands from the AoE script but can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.
Not that I'm aware of, but if you ask over on the forums someone might have an idea - app.roll20.net/forum/category/46806
@@NickOlivo Thanks Nick. I was actually able to figure it out by diving through the old posts about the script on the wiki page. Just need to add a "~status red" Piece of cake. Thanks for the quick reply though. You are the best!!
Is there any way for the apply damage script to handle resistances, vulnerabilities and immunities?
I'm not aware of a way to do that, sorry. But if you post over on the roll20 api forum, the folks there might be able to help you out. app.roll20.net/forum/category/46806
I can't get the group check damage to apply damage. The Button Apply Damage is there and I click it but none of the tokens reflect the damage in their health bars. ANy suggestions and/or work a rounds?
Apply Damage is installed separately from Group Check - gist.github.com/joesinghaus/9fd52108d07e5ef83ed879a7c6fdc68f - once you have that loaded, you should be good to go. Happy gaming!
snap, that's pemium stuff, isn't it? :(
It does require a Pro account, yes.
@@NickOlivo You really should specify that
@@jweaks Regardless of if it's mentioned in the video or not, when you try to add an API to your Roll20 game, Roll20 will tell you that you need a Pro subscription to use APIs. If you're DMing via Roll20 you should at least went through the Roll20 tutorial.
@@jweaks it is mentioned in the video multiple times
Remember, only the DM needs to be a Pro subscriber. So you could divide the cost between the players and the DM, and the cost should be manageable.
The "%%NUMBERED" feature does not work for me. Im not that new to roll20 and know how to assign default tokens. I followed your instructions step by step but it did not work at all. It always displayed the %%NUMBERED%% as a name and the API Call didnt work.
Can you help me? I dont have the pro-version. I dont know if this affects the mechanics in any way.
The API scripts are only available to Pro subscribers.
@@NickOlivo
Ye, i figured that out :I But thanks
i get them to all roll initiative but for some reason they all roll exactly the same? Pretty new to roll 20 starting my first campaign i used your token number and that works pretty fine.
Is there a way to get the result of the roll to be whispered to the DM?
Not sure if this will get an answer or not, but when I run the groupcheck macro and the ApplyDamage macro, the marcros work, but they do not appear to be adding any modifiers. When I hover over the number I can see that it is "rolling a D20 + =" There is no modifier associated with it. I noticed it when when one of the creatures I testing this with rolled a natural 20 and the total was just 20. Any idea where or how to fix this?
It depends on which character sheet you're using. !group-check-config --import 5E-OGL should do it for games using the Roll20 Character sheet. There's also 5E-Shaped, Pathfinder-Neceros, and 3.5.
@@NickOlivo Thanks for the reply, that might actually be it.
Can my apply damage work alone? Like without depending on a saving throw? Like applying damage for a axe attack?
Apply Damage needs Group Check, but there's a different mod called AutoButton that might do what you're looking for - ua-cam.com/video/PAbL1Ft2i78/v-deo.html Happy gaming!
everything i
has been great time saver but I havent been able to get the apply damage to work, anyone else have similar problem?
Hi there - apply damage is installed separately from group check - just want to confirm you have it installed?
Even with the update that allows me to select which character sheet i have (Shaped 5E) I cannot get the api for Group init to roll correctly. When I select my character sheet in the config, it adds crazy and random bonuses to the roll. Something like +19 +18 to the rolls, and not always the same number which is really freaking weird. So it ends up being, i roll a 8 +19 = 28 for its initiative roll and -1 for the creature im using. So it at least has the creatures dex bonus being applied.
When I input the commands used in this video however, the random bonus does disappear, but it doesn't account for the creatures dex bonus anymore. I'm kind of at a loss as to how to get this working.
I'm not familiar with how things work for the shaped sheet, sorry. But if you post your question over here - app.roll20.net/forum/category/46806 - someone may be able to help you.
@@NickOlivo I was able to figure it out by scrolling through and finding it under attributes and abilities
Im having issues with the TokenName Number (which used to work correctly); though it numbers the tokens correctly when sragged onto the map; any hit point update changes all of the tokens of that type thus rather defeating the point; any suggestions anyone?
Hi James! It sounds like you need to set the creatures up as mooks - this video shows you how to do that. ua-cam.com/video/lOoW3LYHCuA/v-deo.html
Hi! A little late to the party but hoping you might know the answer. When I use TokenNameNumber on my tokens, I have it set up like you do, where the token is representing the "kobold" and the name says "kobold" %%NUMBERED%%. However, when I go to change the HP value on a single creature due to a single target attack, it still changes the HP of all of the tokens even though they are all numbered separately. I have read that I need to unlink the token from the character sheet for it to work, but your tokens seem to assign different damage to each other just fine as is. Any reason why that might be?
My tokens are coming from the Monster Manual, so by default they have the HP unlinked. I have another video that shows how to unlink the bars here - ua-cam.com/video/lOoW3LYHCuA/v-deo.html
@@NickOlivo interesting! I will check that out, hopefully it will solve me issue so I don't have to repurchase the bestiary to get it to work :)
Im having an issue with the Group Check script. It wont add the Save modifiers when they roll. It is just a flat D20
Any help please?
Hi there - if you're playing D&D 5e w. the standard Roll20 character sheet, try running the following commands:
!group-init --del-group 1
!group-init --add-group --bare initiative_bonus
If you're playing a different system, there are other commands listed here - wiki.roll20.net/Script:Group_Initiative#Configuring_for_Specific_Sheets
Hope that helps, happy gaming!
i just use same init for all enemy of the same type, soo all Kobols will have same init. but rest of scrips are very usefull thanks
Hi guys, Im running into an issue with the scripts used in this video, when using multiple copies of the same monster (dragged from the character sheet tab) when one takes damage they all take damage
How can i fix that?
Also whenever they take damage the default token Orc%%NUMBERED%% keeps respawning
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi there - it sounds like you need to set your tokens up as mooks. This video shows how to do that - ua-cam.com/video/lOoW3LYHCuA/v-deo.html Good luck!
Hello. I know this is an older video but the macro's are still great. I have been trying to get the TokenNumbered part to work. I did install it in API but when I add the %%NUMBERED%% to the name of the token. Each new token isn't numbered, it just added the %%NUMBERED%% to the name and it gets copied. Is there an updated way of doing this? Thanks for the great videos. They are very helpful.
please disregard. I was missing a dependency.
Hi James! I'm glad the videos have been helpful and that you got everything sorted out. Happy gaming!
The Apply Damage button dose not work when i click on it is there something else i need to set up to get it to work
Did you install the Apply Damage script? (It's separate from Group Check) gist.github.com/joesinghaus/9fd52108d07e5ef83ed879a7c6fdc68f
I just stumbled onto this video and would like to modify the script to also use TokenMod to set the selected entity to Dead when it has negative HPs.
I just cannot get !tokenMod to work....
...
token.set(barCur, newValue);
if( newValue < 0 ) {
// !token-mod --ids @{selected|token_id} --set statusmarkers|dead
}
Ideas?
I got it thanks for the videos ....
Does anyone happen to know of a script similar to apply damage but it's apply condition? for 5e?
So far as I know, there isn't a way to have group check apply conditions directly to tokens. You could use a different script to apply status conditions after the fact, like what's described here - app.roll20.net/forum/post/2773021/request-api-for-status-markers-on-tokens
Is there a way to make a macro for groupcheck where it triggers a selection box where you then click what type of check you want to make. Like the save check macro that token action makes?
I use this:
!group-check {{
--?{Save|Dexterity|Constitution|Wisdom} Save
--process
--subheader vs DC ?{DC}
--button ApplyDamage !apply-damage
~dmg [[?{Damage}]]
~type ?{Damage on Save|Half,half|None,none}
~DC ?{DC}
~saves RESULTS(,)
~ids IDS(,)
}}
@@NickOlivo Is there a way to get this to whisper the save results to me so my players cant see all their checks and bonuses?
hey, tnx for video, but I not a PRO member ... maybe you know how ApplyDamage in a single target without use API ? ( ATK - HP = newHP )
Hi Ciao - applying damage requires the API.
I am getting .15 values when rolling group intiatives for no reason I can understand. Anyknow know why?
It sounds like you have Add Dex Tiebreaker to Initiative enabled on your sheets. Click the Gear icon on the character sheet & see if it's checked.
How to do I install the script for the numbering feature?
This vid will show you how - ua-cam.com/video/jam2yx8btaQ/v-deo.html
As nice as that numbered token api looks it seems like its more trouble than it's worth, especially if you're running a module.
TokenNameNumber doesn't seem to work for me. I followed your instructions exactly, but each token I drag and drop is a copy of their default token not associated with the kobolds. For what it's worth I'm using the Dragons of Stormreck Isle module
same here. if i substract health, all lose the same amount
Not sure you'll see this but with the TokenNameNumber function how can I apply individual damage without the others Hit Points being deducted also.
Sounds like you need to set the tokens up as mooks. I talk about that in this video -ua-cam.com/video/lOoW3LYHCuA/v-deo.html
@@NickOlivo Yes, I got it figured out. Thanks forgot I can't have the token bar set to pull HP default.
