How Do I Make My Multi-sided Token Slider Show Preview?

1662985876

Edited 1662986114
This might be a dumb question, but I just noticed in some games when I: Right click on a multi-sided token, multiside, choose side. The slider that pops up has a small image of the side on top. But in some of my other games, they don't have that. Edit: I realised even in my own game, one token has the preview, the other doesn't.

Probably a difference on how they are set up. We would have to see the table you used to build each token.

Hi Bowman! I recently updated my "Faces" script if you'd prefer a chat interface. I don't know if it will solve your particular problem, but it should report if there is an issue with the token not actually having multiple faces. The sample from below is from a Rollable Table Token and a regular token. The other advantage of Faces is that any token on the board can act as a rollable table token, choosing from the originating table itself rather than having to be specially generated. If this interests you, you can find the instructions and code link here .

Reporter might also help diagnose what's going on. If you install Reporter (one-click), select the token and run !report --t|sides you'll get a list of all of the image urls associated with that token, separated by pipes: | Unfortunately, reporter doesn't return them URIdecoded (never thought of using it for this purpose) so you can just copy and paste an image URL into the browser bar to test the integrity of the image. If you decide to try this route, I can help with more info. But my best guess is that when generating the Rollable Table token, the table has a blank entry somewhere (no image).
Gauss said: Probably a difference on how they are set up. We would have to see the table you used to build each token.  So this is the table and token. It's basically an animated ruler for AOE spells. I got these from marketplace and dragged them into the "icon, drop a file" part of the rollable table setup. I notice even on the table and the edit window, the icon is shown as blank. How would I rectify that?

All of the images are animated? That may have something to do with it. Which marketplace pack is it?

Does the image display on the side choosing dialog if you enlarge the dialog?

NVM. I found the set in the Marketplace. It appears that this is related to the issue where the Mods cannot affect marketplace images. If they are dragged directly from the Owned Marketplace Items folder, they cannot be displayed in a rollable table token chooser box (though the chosen face will display). Likewise, they will not display in the table entry itself. IMO, this is a bug, and should not work this way. Neither feature is using Mod (API) access. The solution to using the images in a rollable table token and having those features work correctly is to download the ones you want to use, and upload them again so they are in your own account. They will then work as expected. This step should not be necessary, but it is a workaround that will make the process you want to use functional. I'll see if I can get attention on this, but I suspect that something this fundamental should already be known.

Since you are a pro user, you might also be interested in this method of using rollable Table Tokens for spell effects. Nowadays, I substitute Simple Sound in the place of Roll20 Audio Master. Shorter syntax and also available through One Click. [ Video ]
