I had planned like five macros for this video, and after the first realized it was already 30 min long. So the Macro videos will be split into a couple parts.

All the code that I go over in them will be found here: https://github.com/spacemandev-git/fv...

Please let me know in the comments what you'd like to see me cover next!

Commenting nearly 5 years later. Still the best resource I have found in the last two days for beginners. Docs are above my current skill, this is exactly the video I was looking for. Really helped jar my memory on console logging. Thanks!

Amazing!! I wish you could teach us a macro to update the amount of rations/water each character has by the passing of the days.

Even with a few stuff being out of date, I was still able to learn from the video. Good content.

Ditto on the please make more. How to set up visual studio to code for foundry vtt would be awesome too! Thanks for doing this.

Great video, learning a lot! At 19:20 you remark "don't worry about my autocomplete". Well I do :) How do you set that up? It'll make development a lot easier.

been struggling with getting to grips with macros in Foundry coming from using Roll20 Chat Macros regularly. This video gave me enough to get my first macro in Foundry up and running! Very helpful and really struggled to find anything else so informative

Thank you so much for this clear and excellent run-through of creating a macro. I've learnt so much and it's really helped me understand macro writing for foundry. Onwards to 102.

Excellent! Exactly what I needed to get started with macros. Learning about the game object was pure gold. Thanks!

Can't thank you enough for this video! I have a limited programming background (started with Basic in 1983!), But no prior experience with JavaScript and your video bridged some major gaps in finding the data objects I needed. Looking forward to watching the series!

Nice work here. Thanks for the tutorial. It was helpful to see you use of the console for debugging.

Nicee info man. I'm trying to learn to make modules and even system in Foundry. Glad I've found this!

@HughMacLeod42 6 years ago

Very helpful. Excellent teaching as well as great foundry tips. This content is crucial for amateur developers like myself. Learned a lot about JS and FVTT. Thanks

Great video. I've been using javascript on and off for over a decade and this really helped understand the underpinnings of foundry.

excellent video thank you...not coded in 15+ years and coming from VB5 i was really struggling with some of the strange syntax in java.

Thanks for this video! I was having trouble figuring out where to start to explore the data model, the bit starting at 2:28 helped a lot to find the right objects :)
