This video shows how to use the AutoButton Script in Roll20. Note that this requires a Pro account in order to use.
Prerequisite - TokenMod script, available from the Roll20 script library.
The script can be found here - raw.githubusercontent.com/oos...
The Autobutton Forum Post is here - app.roll20.net/forum/post/107...
The pictos font tables are here -wiki.roll20.net/CSS_Wizardry#...
The code I used in the video:
!autobutton --createbut {{name=Vulnerable}} {{content=t}} {{tooltip=Vulnerable (%)}} {{style=color: black; font-family: pictos custom; font-size: 2.1rem;}} {{math=-(damage.total*2)}}
!autobutton --showbut Vulnerable
!autobutton --createbut {{name=VulnerableCrit}} {{content=tt}} {{tooltip=VulnerableCrit (%)}} {{style=color: darkred; font-size: 2.1rem;}} {{math=-floor((crit.total + damage.total)*2)}}
!autobutton --showbut VulnerableCrit
!autobutton --editbut {{name=VulnerableCrit}} {{style=color: red;font-family: pictos custom;font-size: 1.5rem; padding-top:1px;}}
!autobutton --order 1,2,3,5,6,4
!autobutton --deleteButton Vulnerable

I've been D&Ding for 3 years and for the first time next week I'll be a DM for my group--and now I'm figuring out the tools on roll 20 which we've NEVER used and oh my god, completely changes things. Your videos are fantastic! So much appreciated: what you've helped with completely changes how we do incredibly slow combat. In fact, my DM avoids any large combat because of rolls, and all enemy mobs have the same turn because the pain from rolling every initiative is so time consuming. No longer! Anyway! Onto my point on this one: I've set up two macros that are available to all players. One is called -1hp and the other is -5hp. I also have -10, but I don't think it's really necessary. Was thinking those macros are faster than this tool. Anyway! Thanks for all your videos!

Thanks. This is really helpful. I’m thinking rather than set up vulnerability buttons I may just click the usual damage button twice. Not tried it yet but it seems like that should work.

As always, very helpful Nick! Question; does this script only work with the D&D 5e sheet?

@sefnerr 2 жыл бұрын

I just needed to read the script text/instructions on the forums; " The script comes with a preset for 5e by Roll20, but you can customize it to work with any sheet or roll template. If you need it to do anything tricky (like picking up spells & higher level casting on the 5e sheet), you will need JavaScript skills. But trickier operations aside, you can set the script up to watch for whatever roll templates and template properties you like. "

Love your vids. Been such a big help with spending more time storytelling and ease of use for my players. Having trouble Changing the font size on images Ive changed the values but is seems that only rollName font shows any diiference. "buttonShared: `background-color: transparent; border: none; border-radius: 5px; padding: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; text-decoration: none;`, crit: `color: darkred; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 2.3rem; text-shadow: 0px 0px 2px black;`," changed the value for crit font size as a test and no results.

Roll20 made some changes to roll templates after this video was released. The last entry in this forums post shows how KeithCurtis was able to adjust the font size. Hope that helps, happy gaming! app.roll20.net/forum/post/11548051/autobutton-weirdness-big-buttons/?pageforid=11564935#post-11564935

I think it's because the AutoButton script only fires when a roll comes in using the atkdmg, dmg, npcfullatk, or npcdmg roll templates. Try changing your macro to use one of those instead of the Default template and see if it fixes it.

Thanks for the great tutorial Nick! My combat will definitely benefit from this streamlining. I did notice a little error in the code you posted. Shouldn't it be {{tooltip=Vulnerable (%)}} instead of {{tooltip=VulnerableCrit (%)}} when creating the 'Vulnerable' button?

@@NickOlivo No worries Nick, thanks again for the great content! I did have one more question. I tried to edit the 'VulnerableCrit' button with the code you added: !autobutton --editbut {{name=VulnerableCrit}} {{style=color: red;font-family: pictos custom;font-size: 1.5rem; padding-top:1px;}} But the character for autobutton changed to a red 'J' letter instead of the other character previously used. Is this due to it not being a 'pictos custom' character as written in the code, but a normal one?

@NickOlivo 2 жыл бұрын

Dang, I need to get more sleep. Change the J to tt and you should be good. Sorry about that.

Is there a way to setup buttons to do only one part of damage from a creatures attack? Ex: A creature does 1d6 slashing and 1d6 necrotic against a Barbarian character. The Barbarian is in a rage and has resistance against slashing - what would the code be for making sure the barbarian gets all of the necrotic and half of the slashing? So there would have to be buttons for all damage1, half damage1, all damage2, half damage2.

I'm not aware of a way to do that, sorry. Your best bet would be to post over in the Roll20 forums - app.roll20.net/forum/category/46806
