Sandbox System Builder; Roll Prompter
Short Description: I am looking for a Module that can create; and wait for GM input in regards to roll prompts.
Long Description: I have long wanted a way, so that when my players activate a Macro (or any other way you see more effective to trigger a cItem); the client would roll with all the relevant information, this being for example a Characters Strength modifier, or with Advantage etc.
Then, after that roll has been made; Prompt the GM with the result, and await the GM to simply Allow or Deny the roll. If Denied it stops there, if Allowed, it continues to the next step.
The next step being the GM picking Dodge/Block/Parry, each having their own roll formulaes; and upon such a selection, the current Target of the player triggering this whole thing, rolls with said Formula.
Again the GM would get a prompt if it succeeds; if it does, everything stops here, it it fails - Damage is calculated, based on what Type the Damage is, versus enemy Resistance and Armor.
The actual application of such Damage is not necessary. This is all just to streamline the flow of combat given this exact set of rolls is made for the vast majority of Damage abilities.
For those unfamiliar with the Sandbox System Builder, the resistance values for example, are created by the GM, but they all use the "system.attributes.INSERTRESISTANCEHERE.value"
Budget: I have no idea how to evaluate something like this, but i am fully aware it will not be particularly cheap, nor am i a cheapskate for good work.

I want to ask a few questions.
You say that the basic idea of the system is:
1 - Player makes attack roll. 2 - GM receives roll, and decides if it is valid or not. 3 - If it is valid, the GM takes one of the 3 roll options: Dodge, Block or Parry. 4 - And then the result of the attack vs. the result of the option taken will be checked.okey? because this is created using Sandbox System, I have the question where are the formulas stored? are they properties of the items/actors? do you want it to be something that is specified at the time of the roll? is the attack directed at all the targeted tokens? or should you also include a way of identifying which actor is receiving the attack? also for which version of foundry do you want the module to be developed?
Hey! yeah sorry i turned them off to avoid spam bots; i'd be happy to open them if you prefer discussing there though. Tho it might be better to keep it here for others to see.
The formulas for cItem are stored in the "Roll Formula" of the cItems in a panel called "MODS" so they are not a property by themselves. However the formulas for Attack Rolls and Defensive Rolls are indeed properties on Actors
If by "specifying it at the time of the roll" you mean enter the formula for the roll, then i suppose no; as that would defeat the time saving i am trying to get out of this
Version 11 Stable, Build 315, Sandbox System Builder 0.14.4.4 - These are what my system is built on. Presumably Sandbox will get a v12 upgrade at some point, and if this potential module needs updating, i'd be happy to pay for the work required to update it to that stage.
ok, does the system allow to share the templates of your world?
this is mainly to ensure that you have my configuration which on custom systems sometimes gives problems.
anyway it doesn't seem like a complicated module.
and my budget would be about $75
I'm not entirely sure how to know that; i can ask in the Sandbox discord, maybe they know
But yeah that budget would be be totally fine
They are not being immediately helpful, will wait to see if anyone speaks up who knows, i don't know if it would be helpful, but i could potentially upload my World somewhere
yes, it would be good
ok, I'll send you an mp
