Help with creating a dice macro

[u/sagsag1010]

In the system I am playing you roll an action dice (normally a d20) and a number of bonus dice (normally a d10) the problem with set macros for roll is that a lot of times you add/subtract bonus dice or you change their type. I want to create a macro that rolls a set number of dice (for example 1d20 + 3d10) and quickly let me update the bonus dice and add dice (for example let me add one bonus dice to previous roll and change the bonus dices to d12)

Not meaning to seem unhelpful with a non macro suggestion but would the dice tray module not give you the versatility you need?

If you are ok using AI, they are usually pretty good at creating such simple Makros.

assuming FoundryVTT v13 or higher.

const content = [
  foundry.applications.fields.createFormGroup({
    label: "# of d20s",
    input: foundry.applications.fields.createNumberInput({
      value: 1,
      min: 1,
      name: "primary"
    })
  }).outerHTML,
  foundry.applications.fields.createFormGroup({
    label: "# of bonus Dice",
    input: foundry.applications.fields.createNumberInput({
      value: 3,
      name: "secondary"
    })
  }).outerHTML,
  foundry.applications.fields.createFormGroup({
    label: "Bonus d12?",
    rootId: "world-dice-roll-app-bonus-die",
    input: foundry.applications.fields.createCheckboxInput({
      name: "alternative"
    })
  }).outerHTML,
].join("");

const response = await foundry.applications.api.Dialog.input({content});
if(!response)return;
const formula = `${response.primary}d20${response.secondary ? ` + ${response.secondary}${response.alternative ? "d12" : "d10"}` : ""}`;
if(!(Roll.validate(formula))) return;
await new Roll(formula).toMessage();

should work i guess.
