fx macro help for multiple tokens

Hey, looking to give my map's more environmental flare / hazards i currently have 4 tokens hidden in GM layer all called same name = "TowerFire"  i am clicking each token use a token macro to run /fx explode-fire @{selected|token_id} which currently works as intended  ---------------------------------------------------- but i would like to progress from this in either 2 ways, i know the below code is not at all syntax okay but trying to explain my self as much as possible. 1) a macro that doesn't need to select the actual "TowerFire" token but will still do the effect when i press the macro /fx explode-fire @{"TowerFire"} --------------------------------------- 2) similar macro as above but works one multiple targets at the same time /fx explode-fire @{"TowerFire1"} @{"TowerFire2"}@{"TowerFire3"}@{"TowerFire4"}

So, you'll need to get the token_id from each of the towers by selecting them and running something like: /w gm @{selected|token_id} which will give you something like: -Jk1d13ad3212 Take that value for each tower and setup something like this: /fx explode-fire -Jk1d13ad3212 You can then group all 4 of those lines together in a single macro to trigger.

Thank you, i was almost there myself just as you messaged that i was doing this below, but pulling my hair out so close but miles away lol /fx explode-fire @{selected|-Jk1d13ad3212} Thank you Again The Aaron

No problem! =D

is there away to change the size of that fx? i was hopeing it increased with the size of the token but it didnt

You'd need to create a new FX that's larger.  It will be based on the number of particles, lifetime of the particles and possible speed of the particles. Try something like this: {   "startColour": [220, 35, 0, 1],   "startColourRandom": [62, 0, 0, 0.25],   "endColour": [220, 35, 0, 0],   "endColourRandom": [60, 60, 60, 0],   "maxParticles": 600,   "size": 35,   "sizeRandom": 10,   "duration": 35,   "lifeSpan": 30,   "lifeSpanRandom": 5,   "speed": 9,   "speedRandom": 1,   "angle": 0,   "angleRandom": 360,   "emissionRate": 300 }

ah i guess that's the pro feature? i seen a page talking about this, i had pro a few years ago but stopped d&d for a while

Ah, right. Sorry.  Yeah, it's a pro feature.  I was thinking /fx were pro too, but possibly not...

think there is a few basic ones i can use, i just mass place tokens in an area and blurr the fire attacks

can i convert this to also use the token ID? %{selected|repeating_npcaction_$0_NPC_action} maybe something like this %{-LB2sm9sNTqdhZswK2WJ|repeating_npcaction_$0_NPC_action} last question for the day ;-) honest xx

No, but you can use the character name: %{Bob the Builder|repeating_npcaction_$0_NPC_action} =D

You Sir are like a Raised eyebrow fountain of knowledge! i approve! its like i need to done token id when i'm trying token name then vice versa lol i have a track called "FireRing" in a playlist called "FXelemental" can i some how get this to play using the same marco, or do i need to be pro again because i say a lot about a API script in other forums pages,

Wait, I thought the last one was the last question... =D You'd need to use an API script to kick off the music track, there isn't an interface for macros to do it. 

okay thank you x
