Community Forums: GM speech "As" @{selected|token_name}

Is there an API that shifts the GMs typed words to occur from a targeted token or something near to that effect without having to scroll through a whole NPC list each time to change it?

As the GM you can simply use /emas @{selected|token_name} or /emas @{selected|character_name}

If you mean want to set the speaking as for the GM, that is possible with the API, just let me know.

That looks like it will work. Macro=   /as @{selected|token_name} ?{Speak:}

I believe this can be fixed by putting quotation marks around the name. /as "@{selected|token_name}" ?{Speak}

Finally got a chance to test it out. The option using quotes around the @{selected} as Kyle suggested works just as I required. The speech comes up as:   Demon, Shadow: <What I entered to say here> (And not as (GM) or whatever) Thanks guys.
