Macro not appearing as token action

Hello, I am trying to create a macro as a token action and I can't get it to work, I would be grateful for some help. I drag a token on to the map and select it. I create a character sheet, I click the "Use Selected Token" button, and I save.  Still on the character sheet, I go to the Attributes & Abilities tab.  Under Abilities I click the "Add" button.  I add the code for my macro, I save the changes, and I check the "Show as Token Action" checkbox.   I close the window. Back on the map, I delete the token.  Then I drag the character back on the map.  I select the new token.  At this point I would expect to see the macro at the top left of the screen, but it does not appear. Any idea what I am doing wrong?  This was working for me last time I used roll20, a few months ago.

I neglected to select a value in the "Represents Character" drop down.

No worries. The problem is clear. You are missing a step. After you set up the token, you need to tell the sheet to use that token as the default token for that sheet. Here are instructions on how to accomplish this. You are likely skipping steps 8 & 9 in the list. You're setting up the token fine, but these steps are the equivalent of saving those changes. If you prefer to watch it being done rather than reading through the steps, here is a video . Both page and video will also show you rips on how to save a token as a character (unique person) or a mook (faceless minions).

Thank you very much for getting back to me. For the record, I was creating a mook, and I missed step 3 ("Represents Character dropdown menu") Before asking for help on the forum, I googled the subject and arrived at this other page in the wiki -  Token Actions - which makes no mention of the step that I missed.  If that page could link the page that you mentioned then it might save someone else the confusion that I experienced.

It's a wiki. Anyone in the community (including yourself) can edit it. It's probably not linked there, though, because everything about a token setup and interaction with a character would need to link to token setup--vision settings, bar settings and linking, nameplate display, auras, etc. It would get pretty redundant after a while. That being said, I agree that the wiki could use some organizational cleanup. There are some things about the front page (which is not community-editable), which I think could be arranged better to help guide folks into learning about the site.

I looked at that page, it's a bit muddied because a Token Action can either be an Ability on a Character or a Macro.  I took a stab at cleaning it up a little.   

Neat solution.

Thank you.
