I have a few API scripts I use for my games that really improve the experience. In this particular game, I'm a player and someone else is the DM. I have been granted DM privileges in this game so I can do the API stuff and macro work for him. Last night, during our game, someone noted that our Temporary HP script stopped working. That script activates whenever someone takes damage. It checks to see if the character has temp hp. If they do, then it will apply the damage to that first and then restore that amount to their health bar (effectively dealing damage to the temp hp rather than the hp). While I was debugging that, I noticed that the event that triggers on the line below was firing anywhere from 10-12 times per update to the HP bar. on("change:token", accountForHPBarChange);
Notably, updating hp through token mod seemed to work just fine. But if you click the red circle and type in "-1" to take 1 point of damage, the script would run recursively until the temp hp was 0 and that 1 point of damage was applied to the token's health. Strange. While messing around with the api stuff I noticed another strange happening. !token-mod {{ --set bar3_value|+[[?{How many dice will you spend to heal your ally?|1|2|3|4|5}d6]] --ids -MYqebhy9B5EzG7Tocil --report all|"/em Rue channels the light of the heavens himself to bestow a blessing to {name}, healing for {bar3_value:abschange}." gm:control|"Rue spent ?{How many dice will you spend to heal your ally?|1|2|3|4|5} charges of healing light to heal Sun'Chu'Luk for {bar3_value:abschange}.

They recharge on a long rest." }} /fx beam-holy @{selected|token_id} -MYqebhy9B5EzG7Tocil -MYqebhy9B5EzG7Tocil !setattr --name Rue --modb --silent --class_resource|-?{How many dice will you spend to heal your ally?|1|2|3|4|5} !roll20AM --audio,play|Better Healing Light In this token action, our Celestial Warlock, Rue, would use his Healing Light subclass feature to heal a target with some d6 dice. In the actual token action, he has a button for each party member and a "Target" button, so he could feasibly target an NPC or something. (I like to avoid having uneccessary clicks, as the @{target|Target|token_id} often feels). Whenever I run that macro I get the output attached at the bottom. Okay, for some reason token mod took the 1 command and ran it twice. The second time it didn't actually do anything. It shows 0 healing. But still, strange. It ran twice. What could cause an api to run multiple times like this? I have confirmed that I only have 1 instance of Token-Mod installed. Same for TempHP.
