moving player flag without dragging

I need to be able to move the player flag as a dm, switching the map players can see without dragging the player flag. I'm having significant problems with it, and it fails often, especially in-game.
Have you experimented with different browsers? That's usually a pretty resilient feature. If not, the only way you might be able to move a player's map presence would be through an API script.

I have an API script for this: <a href="https://github.com/shdwjk/Roll20API/blob/master/Mo" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/shdwjk/Roll20API/blob/master/Mo</a>... You select an object on the page you want to move the players to, then issue the command: !move-players-to-same-page-as @{selected|token_id} You can put it in a macro button and it becomes a pretty fast process: move yourself to a page select something on the page click the macro. You can also setup buttons for specific pages by grabbing some object's token_id and hard coding it into a macro: !move-players-to-same-page-as -JZ12AA11235ad2s

hahahahaah =D No problem. =D
well.. no joy. I'm so tired. I'm not a programmer and this won't behave. So I copied the API script and went to may campaign and pasted it in, and created both versions of macros. I selected the mapand moved a token to map...tried both macros. It neither moved other tokens nor moved the player flag.
It won't move tokens. Just the player ribbon.

If you want to pm me a join link to your campaign and GM me, I can jump in and make sure it's working.
You have to have a copy of the tokens already on the destination map, as far as I understand. That is the way that I do it anyways. I have my players on a "waiting" map (basically blank map) and have them set up a general marching order. Then I copy the tokens and switch to the destination map, where I paste them where I want 'em. At that point I move the ribbon and, in the case of a bigger map, will SHIFT-PING them to center their screens on their tokens.

Correct. I'd love to make a script that would "move the tokens," but the API is incapable of creating MarketPlace content currently, which means it would fail for many cases.
