Triggering FX and / or sounds with macros on tokens

The new FX are awesome, but I really won't be using them except in very rare cases. If we could trigger them so different effects could be triggered via a macro that would really cool. Sounds as well I realize it's more likely an API thing but those of us who don't code can dream too!

Good news Chris, as a Pro subscriber, you or any Players in games you created, can trigger FX with the /fx Macro commands. Here is another thread with the FX macros that I implemented in my game so far, I enabled them as Token Actions with Visibility:All Players, and these last 2-3 weeks my Players have been using them. The announcement thread for the new Effects had a lot of discussion, this post gave rise to a lot of options for making Macros too, and my macros (above link) are based on what I learned from this (below link): <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3077462/update-3" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3077462/update-3</a>... Last, here is the Wiki docs that mentions this, <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Text_Chat#Special_Effects_" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Text_Chat#Special_Effects_</a>... So, if you can code macros --- without coding API or coding "custom" FX --- you should be able to make easy macros for the certain list of built-in effects. These are the built-in combinations that should be available through Macros without coding custom effects (just coding your Macro): Effect Color beam bomb breath bubbling burn burst explode glow missile nova splatter acid blood charm death fire frost holy magic slime smoke water
Awesome
