Copying Players to a New Map

Hi all. I recall somewhere in my browsing of the forum finding an API or macro or something that allowed the DM to easily copy player tokens (and their current token status) to a new map, but I never got around to implementing it. So, it's a tedious process of dragging each player to the map when I need to switch maps. Does anyone know a better way to do this? Thank you!

If the tokens are all together on map A, you can click and drag to select them all (or hold shift and click to select them all), press ctrl-C to copy them all, then move to map B, click where you want them to be placed, and press ctrl-V to paste them.

Why didn't I think of that? Haha.

As a Pro subscriber you could try Nick Olivo's summon party (about 5 mins in to this link). I do the group cut n paste at he moment, but thought I might explore this for next session to save regrouping the PCs. Just done a test (once I made sure all tokens on the map were updated to be default tokens, new game so needed to double check that as a table we had done this right) and the injured party member spawned in bleeding, so seems OK?

Very important information if you want to spawn your party using the method described in the YouTube video . I had to add some additional commands to the Spawn script a while ago to prevent overwriting of linked bar values for PCs that have leveled since their default token was updated. See this post for details , including an example macro with the preferred commands.

Thanks David, much appreciated
