Select a specific named token with a macro or script.

This is either really simple or really complex. I want to use the improved SUMMON script updated by @The Aaron, but I want the token that is summoned to be selected when the token is laid down on the tabletop. Right now the SUMMON script works by selecting a token already on the tabletop and "summons" another token by name in a space next to it.  The Token summoned on the tabletop is not the selected token. I want to move the selected token to the newly laid down token. This will allow to make other modifications in one Macro using the @selected.  Thoughts ?  1. Click a spell caster or enemy token.  2. Summon a Token called "Spell"   3. Use Change Token Image script to select a spell area of effect Image from the rollable table. 

I don't think the API can select an object. However, I believe that you can likely affect a token identified by its name, or associated character using token-mod. So maybe you can summon it and the macro + script could perform transformations. The Aaron would know better.

I generally build my maps with "wings", small areas not used by the map and corralled with dynamic lighting. Like in a theater, i store monsters and NPCs that will or may be needed for the scene. It is faster than using the GM layer, and could offer an easy work around for you.

I used the summon script to create spell templates when specific spells were cast (heavily power card automated game), I just made sure to set up a token action on the template themselves that ran a tokenmod macro to change the face, set the size and assign control to the caster. Meant that spells with area effects could be managed with a single click and a few queries and then handed over to the caster to place... will dig out some examples when I'm not falling asleep lol

Here's what I use . If you can identify the token by name (not sure if Token-mod does that), you could summon the token and run the transformation without selection. Video . Just checked, I think Token mod will specify by id using this syntax: !token-mod --ignore-selected --set currentside| SIDE --ids @{ Character Name |character_id} !token-mod --ignore-selected --set width|[[70* N ]] height|[[70* N ]] --ids @{ Character Name |character_id}) Side  = Side of rollable token as integer. N  = Number of units for size of token effect. Character Name = the name of a character uniquely used for spell effect tokens.
