so I was going over the 5E Effects document that can be found in the fantasygrounds wiki (not allowed to post link ???). I am forcing on all the stuff below Creating Effects - NPCs and I have been having a lot of trouble getting things to work. Eventually I would like to make a trap that works like the spell macros.
So lets start off simple lets create the following attacks: [ATK:4] ,[ATK:-2], [ATK:1d4], [ATK:[STR]] like the wiki says. The first thing I noticed is the NPC sheets do not recognize this format in anyway but no worries this format is familiar in the combat tracker to lets change it there and see what happens. After some time I found that in order for the changes to be recognized you much deselect the combat tracker. So after you make a change put your cursor over the DM chat textbook and click. This lets you run the command but you cant save it. I found that [ATK:4] [ATK:-2] work but [ATK:1d4], [ATK:[STR]] does not work. Can you guys/girls get this to work?

Problems
Cant get effects to work in the NPCs page must be entered in the combat tracker(I am not talking about the text parsing that generates these codes)
Changes made in the combat tracker do not save so this method is usless in the long run.
Cant get [ATK: 1d4] to work.
Cant get [ATK:[STR]] to work.
