I have homebrewed monsters before and the "snippit" codes work. Now nothing is working and I can't get the "Rollables" to be added to the monster to use in the VTT like I did before. Does anyone have an answer for this?
So when you put in the actions of a monster you have to put in the code for it. The only thing is the codes are not working. I use the VTT a lot for my campaigns. And I like the fact I just click the rollable button and it does it all for you. But now with Newer homebrews the button is not there. I have not changed the way I input the codes. I even tried clicking "Add rollable dice blocks automatically." Even that does not work.
I was going to putin the example of the code but it keeps changing it when I try... ugh...
Any other codes that I used from before also don't work. And thats with me going back through past forums and videos on how to do them. I don't know if this answers the questions. I can try to get a video of what I mean...
I understand what the rollable code is, but I can't help you figure out what's wrong with it if I can't see it. Can you post it without the [rollable] tags on the outside so I can see it?
There is no rollable code in the second one. There's just HTML formatting tags. If you've actually tried adding the rollable code for it, either manually or using the automatic button, that's what I'm asking you to show me. If you haven't, that would be the next step in getting it to work.
https://imgur.com/a/FDrgkJH These are the code I used for both a new version and an old and the result. Even after waiting almost a full 24 hours for the site to catch up the codes just don't work. And these are the same codes I have used for past monster homebrewing.

I see three issues right away:
All of the quotation marks are "smart quotes" which are not valid JSON and will probably prevent any of it from working. Use normal double quotes instead.
In the damage roll, the "diceNotation" property name lacks an opening double quote at all.
In the damage roll, the "diceNotation" property name is misspelled "diceNotaion".
i can try the double quotes. But it does not explain why it works for one monster and not anything else. And I had fixed the spellings after the screen shot was taken. And its not just one monster. In the past week I have made 5 new monsters. All with the same coding. I got it working on 3 and kept the same process on the other 2 I am currently trying to get it to work on. I guess I will know tomorrow with the changes. Although I don't get double quoting. do you mean like ""This"" or... Idk.
It may mean something (possibly in your editor) has turned on smart quotes. Smart quotes are when you get “ and ” instead of " (which, in the default font of the editor, is a very difficult to actually see, though in the html they will appear as “ and ”).
So I did do a test and they did change the way coding is done. And so I still don't know what any of that means... Lets put it this way. All older monsters, lets say 6 months back to recently I hand wrote the codes. I did not use the button thing that does it for you. this has only been a thing recently. I did try using the Automatic roller thing and doing how ALL tutorials said to do it. and it would not work. Also HTML changes the code as well and it may have been why it did not work. So the hand written coding has only not been working the past 2 days. Now the auto coding thing is working but I have to not hit add HTML. So I have gotten in it to work. I just think its weird that it didn't want to accept the hand coding when its the exact same as the Automatic. I hope I am explaining this correctly. I didn't see double quoting or anything in it. So that is why I am saying I do not understand. But I do thank everyone who has tried to help. I appreciate it. I guess trial and error. lol

Can you be more specific about what the exact issue is?
Can you post the rollable code you're using for us to look at?

So this should be an image of the stat sheet in the VVT one with the blocks(older monster) and the other one the newer....

This is the homebrew sheet for the older and newer. Hope it helps explain it...
So, in this one: https://imgur.com/a/N0bsjBq
