[Script] Augh!!!! To many macro buttons!!!! I know I will add some more! That will fix it! (Scrolling Macro bar)

Need to sort through a way to organize these.... but it can be done and seems to work great! scrollleft = function(msg) { var macro1name = findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9fiY13CHFalnrnFmzn"})[0].get("name"); var macro1action = findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9fiY13CHFalnrnFmzn"})[0].get("action"); var macro2name = findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9fidotpUxCzVbZZtOV"})[0].get("name"); var macro2action = findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9fidotpUxCzVbZZtOV"})[0].get("action"); var macro3name = findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9filI9RbRQc-vhufYN"})[0].get("name"); var macro3action = findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9filI9RbRQc-vhufYN"})[0].get("action"); findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9fiY13CHFalnrnFmzn"})[0].set({name: macro2name}); findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9fiY13CHFalnrnFmzn"})[0].set({action: macro2action}); findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9fidotpUxCzVbZZtOV"})[0].set({name: macro3name}); findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9fidotpUxCzVbZZtOV"})[0].set({action: macro3action}); findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9filI9RbRQc-vhufYN"})[0].set({name: macro1name}); findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9filI9RbRQc-vhufYN"})[0].set({action: macro1action}); }; scrollright = function(msg) { var macro1name = findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9fiY13CHFalnrnFmzn"})[0].get("name"); var macro1action = findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9fiY13CHFalnrnFmzn"})[0].get("action"); var macro2name = findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9fidotpUxCzVbZZtOV"})[0].get("name"); var macro2action = findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9fidotpUxCzVbZZtOV"})[0].get("action"); var macro3name = findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9filI9RbRQc-vhufYN"})[0].get("name"); var macro3action = findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9filI9RbRQc-vhufYN"})[0].get("action"); findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9fiY13CHFalnrnFmzn"})[0].set({name: macro3name}); findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9fiY13CHFalnrnFmzn"})[0].set({action: macro3action}); findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9fidotpUxCzVbZZtOV"})[0].set({name: macro1name}); findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9fidotpUxCzVbZZtOV"})[0].set({action: macro1action}); findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9filI9RbRQc-vhufYN"})[0].set({name: macro2name}); findObjs({ _type: "macro", _id: "-J9filI9RbRQc-vhufYN"})[0].set({action: macro2action}); }; You need to add your brand of API parsing and point your "left" "right" macros to the functions.... and of course get your marco _id's.. ... and shift in an array would be better...

This is cool, your code crazy man! Good Stuff you are putting out!

Neat idea, though hardcoding that ID makes me cringe.

You only need hard code the _ids (or even have macros that actually exist) for the the number of macros you want to see across the bottom. (plus two for the arrows) and it doesn't matter what they are called or what they do. After that all your macros exist in an array.... {name: "Slay Big Mike", action: "/me hits Big Mike for [[1d1000]] points of damage."]]}, {name: "Poison Big Mike", action: "/me pours Big Mike a ice cold beer."]]}. {name: "Push Big Mike", action: "/me shoves Big Mike off the edge."]]}

[<<] [<] [Button1] [Button2] [Button3] [Button4] [Button5] [Button6] [>] [>>] [Add] [Remove][Find] This would even be better....

[<<] [<] [Button0001] [Button0002] [Button0003] [Button0004] [>] [>>] [Add] [Remove] [Find] [Button00000005] "Buttons 1-4" Scroll..... "Button 5" is the last macro used... "add/remove" will add (if not already in the array) or remove the last last macro used from the list... And !macroids (or something like it) creates a sheet with the array code needed to be added to the script: var buttonIds = new Array(); buttonIds[0] = "-J9i7S7fX-KbcZAvnOmx" buttonIds[1] = "-J9i7dcZvuooiiur7b7l" buttonIds[2] = "-J9i7l_FYolAA1G1A3Dg" buttonIds[3] = "-J9i7n3xb70-gXCGXRhS" buttonIds[4] = "-J9iAq9bGulEFXecE9Dd" A "set" will be created for each player (or new player)

???? createObj({ _type: "macro", name: "<<", action: "<<", visibleto: playid, }); Gives me.... "ERROR: Tried to create an invlid object type. See the API Documentation for valid types." Wiki: createObj(type, attributes) Note: currently you can create 'graphic', 'text', 'path', 'character', 'ability', 'attribute', 'handout', 'rollabletable', 'tableitem', and 'macro' objects. Have I not had enough coffee? What am I missing here?

dev or main

main

as far as I understand, you can't create macros on main yet, its in the rugged reroll update which doesnt hit the main servers until the 16th. best to write and test your scripts and have them ready on the Dev server, and port them over when they reach functionality on main.

There is good news and there is bad news.... First the good news... the left right arrows: Can be used by anyone (they just trigger a API script which comes with msg.playerid so you know who's macro buttons to move left and right. The sort of bad news is the the buttons that scroll have to be build by the player themselves so they carry the "create" _playerid so the left right arrows can be related to them easily. After that is where things get bad.... it gets tricky when you start thinking about mixing macros and abilities in the bar (especially from multiple characters. It seems to me you have to give something up here..... OR.. you have to hold an array in the state object all this... and way to "build and remove" abilities/macros into and out of that state array. This doesn't seem worth it to me.... This is looking more like a "suggestion" then an API script.

Would still be nice for API commands.... small wrap around for them.. you have to code for those anyhow.

Ha! In spite of his efforts to confuse and confound me...

findAbility[abilityCount].set({name: actnArray[abilityCount]}); }; }; }; macroright = function(repeat) { var characterid = undefined; var findCharacter = findObjs({_type: "character", name: macroScroll.Playerid});

}; }; Step1) Make these buttons usable by all (share these) [&lt;&lt;] action is !macroleftmany [&lt;] action is !macroleftone [&gt;] action is !macrorightone [&gt;&gt;] action is !macrorightmany Step2) makes these buttons usable only (do not share these and should be made by the player who will own them.) THE ACTION FOR THESE MUST BE BLANK Step3) enter the API command !macroids and look for hand out called API_Utility_Scrolling_Macro_Bar This gives you all the button ids and user id (this is why the action needs to be blank so they can be found from any others) Step4) Make a character sheet where the name is the player ID The attributes is the array of button ids.... once set you never have to change or edit the API!!! Easy to add other players. The abilities are now the macro array.... just build whatever you want here.... add or remove... The [&lt;&lt;] [&lt;] [&gt;] [&gt;&gt;] scrolls these up and down too!!! Here is how it looks at the start and stepped through.... Very little hard coding and its really to add the character sheets with a utility aid.... Just repeats steps 2, 3 4 for each player (players should build the buttons in step 2.) Character creations APIs could be used to makes dozens of macros to scroll through.... and you still have room and can have non-scolling buttons...

Sweet! Way to go!

This trick I am using in "Trader Joe" could be used to make a menu for API commands.. and reduce the number of macro buttons you need.

After step 2, when I execute !macroids: API_Utility_Scrolling_Macro_Bar is created but is empty I get "ERROR: You cannot set the imgsrc or avatar of an object unless you use an image that is in your Roll20 Library. See the API documentation for more info." in the API output console.

It shouldn't be trying to set an imgscrc. I haven't reworked this since the update however....

And really if we can now create Macros this should be rewritten.

Something like this... scrollingMacros = function() { var excludeMacros = ["&lt;&lt;","&lt;","&gt;","&gt;&gt;"] state.macroArray = undefined; roll20API.macroArray = [ {id: "", name: "&lt;&lt;", action: "!leftthree"}, {id: "", name: "&lt;", action: "!leftone"}, {id: "", name: "a", action: "!a"}, {id: "", name: "b", action: "!b"}, {id: "", name: "c", action: "!c"}, {id: "", name: "d", action: "!d"}, {id: "", name: "e", action: "!e"}, {id: "", name: "f", action: "!f"}, {id: "", name: "&gt;", action: "!rightone"}, {id: "", name: "&gt;&gt;", action: "!rightThree"}, ]; state.macroArray = []; _.each(roll20API.macroArray, function(indexMacro) { createObj("macro", { name: indexMacro.name, action: indexMacro.action, _playerid: roll20API.playerSentId }); if(indexMacro.name(excludeMacros) == -1){ state.macroArray.push({ id: findObjs({ _type: "macro", name: indexMacro.name })[0].get("_id"), name: indexMacro.name, action: indexMacro.action }); }; }); }; Then the array of macros is in stored in "state." What would be really nice is the ability to "DELETE" objects &lt;-HINT-HINT
