table() Function
• Introduced in version 1.3b39
Gets the text value from the specified
table
. If the row is not specified then the default roll
for the table
is used. The row can be either a constant or a roll
.
Note that what this function returns is interpreted as either a string or a number. You can put code in a table entry but that too will be returned as a string and will not be evaluated. To evaluate the result you can use eval() to evaluate e.g. the table entry 1d5
and evalMacro() to evaluate e.g. the table entry [r:1d5]
Usage
table(name)
table(name, row)
tbl(name)
tbl(name, row)
Parameters
name
- A string containing the name of the table.row
- The row of the table that should be returned.
Examples
Example 1: Display a random value from table
"tbl1"
using default roll:
[r: table("tbl1")]
Example 2: Display the first value from table "tbl1"
:
[r: table("tbl1", 1)]
Example 3: Display one of the first four values from "tbl1"
, chosen randomly:
[r: table("tbl1", "1d4")]
Example 4: Display a table row that corresponds to a token property's value (the value must be numeric):
[r: table("tbl1", Intelligence)]
[r: table("tbl1", getProperty("PCLevel"))]
Example 5: Evaluate the outcome of a table entry. The table entry must thus be something that can be evaluated, like 1d10
or roll(1,6)
or 3+5
:
[r: eval(table("tbl1"))]
Example 5: Evaluate the outcome of a table entry that contains code. The table entry can thus contain code, but its not required. 'code' in this case is anything between [brackets]. An example table entry could be [h:roll=1d20]You [r:if(roll<10, 'hit', 'miss')] your target. :
[r: evalMacro(table("tbl1"))]
