I'm still working on my data mapping for a completely clean 5e monster import strategy, but I think the API portion of my work is done. First, how it works. Then the script itself. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. This isn't really my own work. Only sort-of, seeing as I scraped and stole parts from here and there around the web, trying to get it going the way I needed it. Obviously before any of this works, you'll need API support (be a Mentor) and you'll need to install the script. I'm saying this because until last night this wasn't completely obvious to me... :) To Export a creature's attributes: 1) Highlight a graphic which is linked to a character (who has its data already populated). 2) Input - !getme foo Note that the 'foo' isn't relevant. I just patterned my work after others who were expecting input after the command. 3) Copy the chat output to a text file or some other safe place. Example Output: Copy starting here: !setme --is_npc|1 --npc_type|Large giant --npc_alignment|chaotic evil --npc_AC|11 --npc_AC_note|hide armor --npc_HP|59|59 --npc_HP_hit_dice|7d10 + 21 --npc_speed|40 --npc_strength|19 --npc_dexterity|8 --npc_constitution|16 --npc_intelligence|5 --npc_wisdom|7 --npc_charisma|7 --npc_senses|darkvision 60 ft. --npc_languages|Common, Giant --npc_challenge|2 --npc_xp|450 To Import a creature's attributes: 1) Highlight a graphic which is linked to a character (populated or un-populated it doesn't matter). 2) Input the string created above, or your own custom string. Format is '--(attributename)|current|max'. Example Output: Set is_npc value 1.
Set npc_type value Large giant.
Set npc_alignment value chaotic evil. Validate using the character sheet. To create a new/blank character: 1) Input !createme (Name) 2) Browse to Characters 3) Drag character from library to screen, making it available for Import as above. And that's it... There's a few more things I'd like to add, but right now I need to clean up my scraped data to make it more usable... Here's the script, which I call 'createsetget.js': (function() {
var oldCreateObj = createObj;
createObj = function() {
var obj = oldCreateObj.apply(this, arguments);
if (obj && !obj.fbpath) {
obj.fbpath = obj.changed._fbpath.replace(/([^\/]*\/){4}/, "/");
} else if (obj && !obj.changed && type == 'attribute') {
obj.fbpath = '/char-attribs/char/'+ characterID +'/'+ id;
}
return obj;
}
}())
on('chat:message', function(msg) {
if(msg.type == 'api' && msg.content.indexOf('!setme ') != -1)
{
if (msg.selected == undefined){sendChat("API"," Please select something to modify.");};
var n = msg.content.split(" --");
var a = 1;
while (n[a]) {
_.each(msg.selected, function(objInfo) {
var obj = findObjs({ _id: objInfo._id, _type: 'graphic', _subtype: 'token' })[0];
var represents = obj.get("represents")
if(obj) {
Attribute = n[a].substring(0, n[a].indexOf("|"));
ValueString = n[a].substring(n[a].indexOf("|") + 1);
log(ValueString.indexOf("|"))
if(ValueString.indexOf("|") === -1) {
Value = n[a].substring(n[a].indexOf("|") + 1);
Max = '';
} else {
Value = ValueString.substring(0,ValueString.indexOf("|"));
Max = ValueString.substring(ValueString.indexOf("|") + 1);
};
log(Attribute);
log(Value);
log(Max);
existingattribute = findObjs({_type: "attribute", name: Attribute, _characterid: represents})[0];
if (existingattribute === undefined) {
if(Max != ''){
sendChat("", "/desc Create " + Attribute + " value " + Value + " max " + Max + ".");
createObj('attribute', {
name: Attribute,

createObj('attribute', {

});
}

if(Max != ''){

existingattribute.set("current", Value);
existingattribute.set("max", Max);

existingattribute.set("current", Value);

a++;

Attribute = attrInfo.get("name")

if (Value != ""){
if(Max != ""){
AttributeExport = AttributeExport + " --" + Attribute + "|" + Value + "|" + Max
} else {

Again, this is community work. I only cobbled together what those before me had posted.
