[Script] Hands Up

Do you have players in your game who are shy, soft-spoken, or otherwise have trouble speaking over the other players? This script will extend the accessibility of your game by allowing players to raise their hand to get your attention when they want to speak.

This script installs a macro named 'Raise Hand', which when pressed will cause the player's icon color to flash in order to get the GM's attention. The player can later lower their hand by simply pressing the same macro again.

WARNING: This script displays animations of color in small portions of the screen, which may be harmful to some photosensitive people. By using this script, you agree to not hold its author liable for any epileptic events it may cause. Please use the dance mat in a well-lit area with plenty of space. Enjoy the script!

This is a great idea for a script.

This is fantastic, I always appreciate accessibility being taken into account.

OMG, I need this!

Nice work Stephen

Stephen, I'm getting a 404 when I follow that link and cannot seem to find a script of that name in your fork. I had some ideas about how to dovetail this with Scott's Customizable Roll Listener.

Yes it is. I have a player with speaking difficulties after a stroke and this will help them wonderfully.

I am having the same trouble as Keithcurtis

I removed the forked branch after it got merged in with the main repository.

Sweet! Thanks!

I saved the macro as a universal token macro and gave it a bellhop icon. :)

Did you attach a "ding" audio clip to it as well?  lol
