outputting a roll query?

Just wondering if it is possible to output a roll query to chat using sendChat and have it pop up for people.

Not really. The closest you can get is outputting an API button they can click for a convenient prompt. 

Couldn't you just use the ability button for that and having everyone click it?

cool, thought that might be the case, ah well.

I know it's not  exactly what you want, but it's the closest that I can think of.

Yeah, went with a bunch of API buttons instead. Not as clean looking as being able to output a dropdown pop-up would be, but oh well. Can't do, or rather it wouldn't be preferable, the roll query in a macro because I'm doing a configuration dialog that has about 20 settings, expecting users of the script to make their own roll query for that is a little crazy. Next question: Is there somewhere I can find images for all of the status-marker options?

You mean the little dots and such that you can put on the tokens?

yeah, the dots, red X, Aura, bleeding eye, web, etc

I know that there's a thread in the Suggestions section about being able to change/customize those... so I'm assuming that it's not possible right now to gain direct access to those and alter them.

Woot, Awesome Aaron. That is exactly what I'm looking to do.

Of course there would be an API that can do that.

Maybe a little too much... SKYNET WILL TAKE OVER!!! lol And I don't have Gitter.

Sorry, I was actually replying to Scott with that message (adjusted to make that obvious). &nbsp;Gitter is web based and tied to github, so easy to get onto. &nbsp;Definitely feel free to chat me there if you want of course. &nbsp;My channel is mainly for talking about API and Sheet Workers with other developers, but we'll talk about anything. =D &nbsp; <a href="https://gitter.im/shdwjk/Roll20API" rel="nofollow">https://gitter.im/shdwjk/Roll20API</a>

Yeah, I think I'll be hitting you up on Gitter tonight or at some point in the next week or so. I'm actually not going to be scripting too much in the next few days as I've got a bunch of experiments to get caught up on and family's coming into town. And yeah, that is fairly arcane, although I think I have a general understanding of what you're doing; essentially cropping the master statusmarker image for each one. I'll dig into more next week.

Yup, that's the basics. &nbsp;The circles and the X are rendered one way, the images are in an image strip and accessed by what's called a CSS Sprite. &nbsp;You can find lots of details about that online, but definitely to the chats! &nbsp;=D

Ah, was gonna ask about the X since I didn't see it (although honestly, I probably won't worry about it since I highly doubt anyone is going to want to use the X for marking a destination in Page Navigator)

Oh, I don't know... "X marks the spot" comes to mind... =D

X is treated differently in several ways (can't have a number on it). &nbsp;TNN doesn't actually use the X either.

doh! I'm an idiot. Too locked into The X marking dead enemies using the HealthTint script.
