17.16 OtF Macro arguments do not support quoted strings

[devakm]

[/:DeceptiveAttack attack="Exquisite Vicious Fey Dagger (Swung)"]

I ran into this issue while working on converting my scripts from GGA FVTT V9 to FVTT V12. Quoted arguments worked fine in V9 before Foundry introduced the new named arguments approach but got broken sometime after that.

I have important scripts where I need to be able to pass in a string with a quoted damage formula, such as:

/:CritHitCalcMelee attack=Halberd*Swung dmg="4d+17 cut"

The unquoted attack=string works fine but the quoted one for dmg="string" does not.

I couldn't find any examples for how to solve this on the Cool Macros page or elsewhere.

The new Foundry standard "we don't need no quotes" method invoked with /m works fine in chat but is not supported by GURPS.ExecuteOTF.
