Issue with dead status marker

I have a script that allows me to set the statusmakers from macros. Everything is working well except the 'status_dead' marker. The system does set the value (I inspected the statumarkers property of the graphic object) and it shows as selected in the popup window or status markers, but it does not place the red X on the token. Any thoughts?

If you give it a value, it won't show up (well, the X won't, but you will see a space between two other markers): dead@0 It has to have no value: dead You can see an example of how I handle that special case here: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/API:Cookbook#objectToStatu" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/API:Cookbook#objectToStatu</a>...

I am not giving it a number. I get the token graphic (selObj) and then call selObj.set("status_dead"); This is working just fine for all of the other markers. I do see a @0 at the end of the marker in the list after adding, but I do not know how it got there.

Have any other scripts running? It might be adding the @0 automatically as part of the set() on 'status_dead'. You might try through the statusmarkers field.

The set function expects a second parameter. Most likely, if that parameter isn't true or false, it gets parsed as an integer, with 0 used as a default just to avoid stuff like NaN... but that means if you don't supply the second argument at all, you're getting a value of 0 (which strictly speaking is a different result than passing true as the second parameter, even if they look the same for all markers except dead).

Ah, good spotting! I never would have thought of that as I always use the object form for .set(). (and for that matter, I pretty much always use the 'statusmarkers' instead.

Adding a second parameter did the trick. Thanks gents
