Give Players the Ability to flip their Tokens

My players and I love moving our tokens around and interact with the Npcs and objects from the world I made. We also use Isometric to make it feel more lively, to say the least. One nitpick tho, is that only I, as the GM, have the power to flip their tokens. It kinda ruins my momentum and train of thought whenever they request for such. For now I remedy it by turning their tokens into rollable ones (One base and One Mirrored), but even then, it kinda chugs my laptop's power (it's a 2012 ancient laptop that still kicks I guess). I've only seen solutions where I NEED to have a Pro subscription and have the API and stuff and frankly, it's a bit too much for my monkey brain to handle. I am aware of how many times this topic has been brought up many-a-times, but the traction seems to fall off. But I'm not giving up hope lmao Will there be an option for players to be able to flip their own tokens, horizontally and vertically?

Being able to delegate out some DM only things would be great. I'm all for an option for giving players the ability to resize, rotate, flip, and roll their own tokens.

Isn't this already possible by right clicking on their tokens and choose "Change side"? Especially with rollable Tables as you mentioned...

Yes, but that requires the GM to take each token image, save copies of it flipped into each position, then upload them to a rollable table for each character. Roll20 already has a native feature that allows the GM to flip a token. It would save a lot of work if players had access to that for their own tokens.

Players can already rotate their token, and the world hasn't ended yet. Giving them the option of flipping their token should be a fairly simple matter, and it should be some appreciated functionality.

Having players be able to create their own rollable (multi-sided) tokens sounds like a good idea, but assumes that your players are comfortable with doing so - and willing to learn how. If this kind of customization is incorporated, I hope it's an option that can be enabled/disabled by the game creator. I shudder at the thought of what the collections tab of my games would look like if some of my group had access to it.

Whoops! Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I'm having the same conundrum right now. Running an isometric game and players not being able to flip their tokens is just such a baffling omission. 

This feature shouldn't be locked behind API. I support this.

I also support this, been wanting this for a good while actually.

ooh It has been a while now has it. Then I'm bringing it back, and to entice everyone how it would be more cinematic, here is a small scene with my players and a spider boss. Now it would be amazing if players could be able to flip their tokens so they can be cinematic with it, too!

This is also something I'd really love to be able to do!  It adds a lot to the potential of roleplay and even combat scenes when you can mirror your token to face opponents or to interact with others in RP.

The ability to mirror flip your own tokens for players rather than just GM would be a very nice QOL thing to give to players imho

Allow it fam, it would add interactability without being loud about it. Its subtle, its simple its slick and it will make the roleplay stick!

Please move this forward, and I think an easy hotkey wouldn't go amiss for both Players and DMs...

I would very much like players to be able to flip - maybe f and h could hotkey?

Flipping token is and this feature would-be so great in isometric Roll20 maps. You can really do Facing (left-or-right only) with upright-standing tokens on isometric maps. Used for walking, combat, and RP conversation token facings.
