Available in GCS 5.36.0 and later.

Some fields, such as notes, support using Javascript to resolve their content. Versions of GCS prior to v5.36.0 used a simple expression evaluator instead. Expressions from those old data files will be automatically transformed into the equivalent Javascript.

Fields that are scriptable will have a Scripting Guide button next to them to bring up this documentation. Scriptable fields that are intended to resolve to a number may either contain a number or a script. Scriptable fields that are intended to resolve to text, however, must have the scripting portion(s) wrapped in tags, like this:

My ST + DX is <script>$st + $dx</script> and my name is <script>entity.name</script>.

When your Javascript code is called, the following globals will be available for you to use:

• console
• dice
• entity: The character sheet.
• Math Extensions
• measure
• self: This will be set to the object that the script is attached to. Note that in some cases, this will be undefined, such as for scripts attached to ancestries and notes from the sheet's Notes list. Possible types:
  • Attribute
  • Encumbrance
  • Equipment
  • Equipment Modifiers
  • Skills
  • Spells
  • Traits
  • Trait Modifiers
• Top-Level Functions
  • formatNum
  • iff
  • signedValue

In addition, any attributes you've defined for the sheet are available as globals using their ID prefixed with a dollar sign, e.g. $st refers to the Strength attribute.
