Create an macro for purchased animated spells.

Is it possible to create a macro that players can use if they cast a&nbsp; spell and want to show it on the board as an animation? <a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/11154/animated-spells-set-vol-1" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/11154/animated-spells-set-vol-1</a> If I purchase these how can I create a macro so they can show it?

Most api's that do stuff like this require you to place the marketplace item down, then download it to your hard drive, and then upload it to your quota in order for it to work.&nbsp; I suggest spawndefaulttoken api.&nbsp; And Nick Olivo's youtube channel has an amazing tutorial on how to do precisely what you want with said api script.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Note: the api does not play nicely with animated tokens. Even with SpawnDefaultToken, the token will either just play once through and stop after spawning or not play at all. After Spawning you can start/restart the animation manually, though. Unfortunately, the only reliable way to bring animated tokens to the map and have them play and repeat is to manually drag the token from the journal.

And they don't really play forever, eventually they pause and depending on the performance of each individual players pc, they slow down, skip frames, and eventually pause all depending on each persons hardware/software.&nbsp; Roll20 markets animated gifs but they do not handle them very well at all.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Well, someone got a macro or anything that would look like magic missile, because that's one of my players likes to have.
