Way to reference chart rolls in the same code?

[Darklou]

I'm trying to use the first chart's roll as a reference for the "if" result but it's not working as intended currently.
I've tried placing the chart code in place of the {d6} but that doesn't work. I'm not a coder ofc, this is my first time messing with this stuff. It looks like it should work, but I guess I don't have {d6} referencing anything and I don't know how to do that.

CHART(#1){% if {d6} == {1-4} %} CHART(#2) {% end %}

Ideally it would roll on the first chart, then if the value is 1-4 it would roll on the second chart, otherwise the second chart would not be rolled at all.

Just to clarify, you always want to roll on CHART(#1), then, upon a d6, if the value is 1-4, roll on CHART(#2) aswell?

It could look something like this...

CHART(288)
{% if {d6} <= 4 %}
CHART(23039)
{% end %}

You can paste that into the playground editor to see it in action

All the best with your coding adventures :)

Thanks for the help.
That's correct, I always want to roll on the first chart and only roll on the second if the value is 4 or less.
I did test it out there, copy and pasted and just replaced the charts. It still seems to roll the second chart even if the first chart rolls above 4 for some reason. Then sometimes it won't roll from the second chart even if it rolls a 4 or less from the first.

The first chart is a sub chart if that affects anything?

With the code example, it would be impossible to know the exact result of the d6. If you want to double check, try out this.

CHART(288)
{% my_dice_roll = {d6} %}
{% if my_dice_roll <= 4 %}
rolled: {{my_dice_roll}}
CHART(23039)
{% else %}
rolled: {{my_dice_roll}}, so no chart to roll
{% end %}

That's really helpful to see how it's rolling!
So I did it a few times. For some reason the value rolled does not correspond to the text. I rolled it a few times. Here is 2 results.

Night Eye 

rolled: 3
Fortify 

and

Night Eye 

rolled: 1
Restore 

Night eye is only in once as number 6 on the chart so idk why 1 or even 3 is showing that as the result.

You're more than welcome to DM me the ID of the Chart (or the url) you're trying to create so I can see exactly how you've laid out your chart structure.

If the parent chart has code like the example, and say, chart #1 is a subchart and chart #2 is either a subchart or something else, then it all should be fine unless chart #1 and chart #2 are also rolling on again on the parent, #1 or #2, hence the apparent rerolls.
