Roll20: How to make sound effects and gifs when attacking. (Also ammo tracking)

[@StoutShako]

Oh my god, it's exactly what I wanted AND it's not 30 minutes long??? My savior

[@hammer181]

Wow, that was incredibly enlightening. To the point, very specific and I didn't have to go to college to understand what you were talking about. Thank you!!

[@edhotte4808]

this guy rocks!!! he should do one on the circle thingy that tracks initiative and group initiave

[@varg1669]

the code @3:27....when i enter that into the chat box it does nothing

[@garrymiller9277]

By the way, brilliant vid. Just created a shortbow with GIF and sound effect :-)

great

Interesting 😊

You lost me on where you cut and pasted the actual sound file from. At frame time 4:23, where do I find this at? Great video thanks in advance.

[@MrJohn013]

@@SEBDMSebDM Just highlight the name in the Jukebox?

[@MrJohn013]

@@SEBDMSebDM Does not work at all. I do not see what you have in your video. This is what I am trying to say, I get what you are teaching, I just do not see how you got the file you cut and pasted. You skipped a step somewhere.

[@comedycommanderares5248]

I did this, and it always shows "}} {{powerlevel=}} {{innate=}} {{globalattack=}} ammo= {{charname=Max}}" (Max is the char name). That looks extremely ugly. Any idea how to fix that?

[@jamesnoble7777]

The API is now only for Pro subscribers but great content in your vid thanks

[@daemijares]

Can you make a video ranking your top 3 campaigns. Thanks.

[@vampiregoat69]

they got rid of A LOT of sound effect I can't even find explosions on any place roll20 uses so I will have to import my own

[@chloescoolcreations9719]

brand spanking new DM here is there any way to get this to work with DND beyond?

[@phalkenjr]

Is there a way to link to a .gif from your computer vs. from the internet? What would the script look like?

[@miguelcorona2329]

I did all the steps but when it comes to audio after adding the API and unocking the sounds nothing plays

[@matthohensee6534]

What if you do not have a description in the character sheet for example I am playing D6 Star Wars and the character sheet does not have description.

[@matthohensee6534]

@@SEBDMSebDM When I do the !roll20 I get 2 menus and when I click on a track it just opens in a new chat box I can't unlock it

Where you at Sebs???absolutely need smart skilled people to d ok what you do..message me Brother. I'm sure can get people behind it.

[@JK-qo1mh]

Hey I followed your method - it's great! I've got a cool shortbow attack with sound and a great gif. The only problem is that the global damage modifier - sneak 2d6 - no longer applies to it when I roll. Any idea how to work around that?

[@jameshems1112]

same issue here...

[@SEBDMSebDM]

I don’t think it works with the global modifiers unfortunately

[@jameshems1112]

You c an out the gif in but not the sound because the }} closes off the previous tag prematurely So just [tag](gif link) is fine in the description if you don’t mind losing the sound

[@SlicesnDices]

Thanks Seb! Works great! But seems that I when I add the gif and/or sound for a rogue attack, it removes their sneak attack damage! Any reason why?

[@SlicesnDices]

SEBDM yep. It’s in there but I’m not getting the sneak attack damage from that field when I use the macro in the description. As soon as I take it out, it works fine.

[@SlicesnDices]

@@SEBDMSebDM Thanks as I happen to have a rogue in group who would love this!

[@mikeet207]

I've noticed this messes up the macros for higher level casts. Has anyone figured out a work around?

[@JL-fq5tr]

Nope! Same issue. Did you figure it out?

[@ameliagrant5334]

I tried using this same macro on Pathfinder 2e and I dont think it works the same. It does not calculate the attack and damage roll as you show on your DND 5e sheet.

[@AandJPrOdUcTiOnSs]

So Im having a problem, where the sound plays the first time i use the ability, but after i use the ability a second time it dosnt play the sound anymore. When I use a different ability, it plays the sound of the first ability and the sound of the second on top of eachother. Has anyone had this problem ? also has anyone figured a work around

[@OnlyFinsCanada]

I'm trying to do this but it isn't working. The video is also 6 years old. Can someone verify if it still works? I'm doing exactly everything as shown in the video.

hi, what is "character_id"? its the name of character? can am I change to "character_name"?

@@SEBDMSebDM thx dude!

[@imprisonedagain9626]

Is there a way to get this to work with just sounds and not gifs? I messed with it a bit, but i can't figure it out. Thanks.

[@garrymiller9277]

Is there a way of doing this but with still images rather than a GIF?

[@justinyoung5843]

yes just use a jpg instead

[@garrymiller9277]

@@justinyoung5843 hello, thanks but I’ve been using Foundry since February and it absolutely kicks Roll20’s ass.

[@JasonHauser125]

Yeah, Plus does not allow this. I do wonder if it's worth an extra $50 a year. While not terrible complicated, it might just be enough to annoy me if it doesn't work right immediately, and I don't think I could blunder through any of the coding on my own.

[@SEBDMSebDM]

It’s pretty simple. You just copy and paste the macros. The APIs are definitly worth it, check out my API videos :) You just click to install them.

[@JasonHauser125]

@@SEBDMSebDM So I upgraded to Pro. I enabled the sound api and arrow api, following your steps, but when I get to the jukebox things start to fall apart. i can't search it for sound effects, and then there's the code you point in, what is this for? From here onward I got confused.

[@SEBDMSebDM]

Jason Hauser you have to import your jukebox over first to see all your tracks.
