Is there a way to use setattr or another API or trick to an ability to token action and back off?

While it's possible to turn the setting on/off, the button doesn't disappear and reappear without deselecting and reselecting the token.

I wrote a script (6 years ago!?!) for toggling abilities off when you used them:&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/1143437/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/1143437/</a> I'm not sure if that would meet your needs, but there it is...

UsePower API looks pretty cool. But if I were to use setattr what would the command look like? !setattr --sel Abilityname|On&nbsp;

setattr can only change attribute values IIRC - whether an ability is enabled or disabled isn't an attribute value.

Correct, abilities are an API object, and would require a script other than ChatSetAttr to affect.
