Can you make token that rolls on a Rollable Table just by clicking on it?

I've got some sweet Hit Location tables that ask the player to declare if they're attacking ""High", "Mid", or "Low" then give results on a curve. I have rollable tables and macros set up to make these rolls and it works great. However, I thought it would be cool if I could have a three tokens comprising an anatomical outline divided into high, mid and low "zones" and trigger these rolls when the player clicked in the appropriate zone. I could group the three tokens together so they'd appear to be seamless/one icon, but they'd really be triggering these table rolls. I just don't know if it's possible to trigger a roll simply by clicking on a token.

Although I've been a subscriber for quite some time, even a Mentor, my game has been on hiatus for months and I don't often get to under the hood of Roll20 so to speak, so forgive me if I'm missing something obvious.

Thanks,

M.

Malcom, what you're looking for is either an API script to react when tokens are being focused or a custom character sheet with formatted buttons that look like pictures.

I'm fairly sure you already know this, Malcolm W., but you might try Token Actions. It's not quite exactly what you want, but it does come close.

In effect, you'd have one token available to be used by everyone. In it, have three token action buttons, labeled High Mid and Low.

The downside is that it would take two clicks... one on the token, one on the area.

The upside is that these buttons would be on this token, and nowhere else, saving 'room' in other locations (either the macro bar at the bottom of the screen, or mixed in with the other token action buttons (at the top) on each player's character token (or whatever).)

It's not a perfect solution, but it's fairly easy to do, compared to API scripting or making a new character sheet.

Thanks, guys. Yeah, I know about the Token Actions, Phnord, but I can already just display macros at the bottom of the screen if I wanted those generic buttons. And, yeah, the two-click thing would kinda defeat the purpose.

Admittedly this is a very small-fry request. I just thought it would be nice to have a graphical interface for the rolls rather than the generic gray buttons at the bottom.

Steve K., thanks for your suggestion as well, but I don't have the foggiest idea of what to do with either of those.

No biggie. I thought I might be missing something obvious (and easy).

Thanks,


M.
