Syntax

public class MacroContext

Constructors

	Name	Description

Properties

	Name	Description
	Arguments	Gets the arguments of the macro (including the name), if using the recommended method of separating arguments with colons.
	Data	Gets roll data for the dice roll.
	Name	Gets the name of the macro, if using the recommended method of separating arguments with colons.
	Param	Gets the parameter passed to the macro. If not using the recommended method of separating arguments with colons, the callback is responsible for parsing this into something useful and acting accordingly.
	Value	Gets or sets the result of the macro.
	Values	Gets or sets the underlying die results for the macro that should be shown in the overall result.
	ValueType	Gets or sets the type of value this macro returns.

Remarks

A MacroContext is created and passed into all MacroCallbacks. The callback must fill out Value and should also fill out Values and ValueType. Failing to fill out Value will result in an error being displayed to the user.

The Param property contains the full string inside of the macro's square brackets. For example, the Param for the macro invocation [roll:1:critical] is the string "roll:1:critical". The Name property would be "roll" and the Arguments property would be the list "roll", "1", "critical".
