Rotate Token API?

I'm just looking to add a fun little special effect to a climactic fight in my campaign.  I want a token to spin constantly, without me selecting it and scrolling my mouse wheel. Is there any way I can automate this without having the token selected, so I can focus on other parts of the map?

Maybe Aaron's SpinToken script?&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/1380961/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/1380961/</a>

Looks really great with narrowed light sources, spinning search-light style. =D &nbsp;You can also use it to create a clock.&nbsp;

I updated that link to reflect the new location in git. &nbsp;It's also in the Official Roll20 Repo.

Is the answer not always, "Use one of The Aaron's scripts"? Thanks for the help.

=D &nbsp;I do try to provide useful things... &nbsp;=D

Currently no way to 'bias a rotation' as you put it, correct? Or to spin things on another layer, like the Dynamic Lighting layer, for instance?

hmm... It shouldn't care what layer the graphic is on. &nbsp;In fact, it should be perfectly happy for you to move or change layers as desired even while it's spinning. (though because of race conditions, it might not let you.) As for a bias, no, not yet. &nbsp;You can download a graphic and rotate it to a given angle then reupload it if you need that functionality specifically. &nbsp;I never came up with an actual use case outside the clock idea. &nbsp;Is it something you need?

Aaron- trying to set two objects, each emitting a cone of light, to rotate like a lighthouse beacon. Instead, both rotate the same and are therefore indistinguishable from each other. Brian- you're right, found this out the hard way. Since I couldn't get the lights to move in alternating phases, I thought a single multi-part object on the dynamic lighting layer could rotate and block two opposing 90 degree wide parts of the lighthouse beacon enclosure.

Ah, that's a great real world example!

That said, it's not impossible to get the result &nbsp;of what you would expect from rotating a DL path. You simply have to create a new path with each point in the path rotated around the path's center. Aaron posted a pretty short snippet of code a while ago to accomplish that for rectangles and polylines, but I'm not sure if he's hung onto it (I know I haven't) and I don't recall what thread it was in. Maybe he'll reproduce it for you. =P If you're trying to get light cones emitting from opposite ends of a token, you could duplicate the token and flip the second vertically, then rotate it 180 degrees relative to the original. Give them the same light angle, and you've got your beacon.
