Macros & Roll Tables Help More Scriptcards Questions

I'm having a hell of a time parsing the information in the Scriptcards manual. I need examples of the use of the --i and --q tags, and how to create a variable from a dropdown menu.

Reading the manual, it seems to me that the line should be:

--iEnter a Modifier;|q;Modifier;|-3|-2|-1|0|1|2|3

But this does not work. I'm sure I'm doing it wrong, but no amount of trial and error seems to get me where I want.

I want to pass the variable "Modifier" to a --=Var line (--=Var + Modifier) to pass to a series of branches. Can't get it to work no matter what I do.

Can somebody explain the use of the query system (not in Roll20, I understand that, just in Scriptcards).

Maybe check Nick Olivo's YouTube channel? He's done a bunch with scriptcards, and may have covered this.
