Share Image macro

Okay, this is so easy it's almost nothing, but maybe your players don't know this trick. Now they can share images in chat with a simple UI. Macro name: share-image [picture](?{URL}) Yeah, that's all. I saw Keith mention it in a forum post but thought it'd be slightly easier if it was a button.

Would be great if you could show image similar to Shift+Z on token (dark overlay and image in the center). Some images are too small in the chat :(

Yeah. I wish there was a way to zoom in on NPC tokens when the player does not have control over the token, or to view the Avatar art if the token is linked to a character sheet. I have to upload the Avatar art into the game AND store it offsite with a URL to it, then write a macro for it... And if the char sheet doesn't have the field you get an ugly error message. I swear Roll20 hates art.

You can get the URL of the art by pressing shift-z, right-clicking on the preview and opening in a new tab or just copying the URL. Then you can display it as you would an offsite graphic. Just get rid of all the code that appears after the question mark. <a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.d20.io/images/24664073/GYSSrE716N5AjMxHejQd8w/original.png?14776360325" rel="nofollow">https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.d20.io/images/24664073/GYSSrE716N5AjMxHejQd8w/original.png?14776360325</a> becomes <a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.d20.io/images/24664073/GYSSrE716N5AjMxHejQd8w/original.png" rel="nofollow">https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.d20.io/images/24664073/GYSSrE716N5AjMxHejQd8w/original.png</a>

That's a great tip! It should go in the thing! And it appears you don't need to get rid of the part of the URL after the question mark. Both give the same result as far as I can tell.

And players can't shift-z on tokens they don't control. I wish the Avatar URL was available to macros, instead of having to copy it into a sheet attribute.

@keithcurtis posted that script (require Pro) on Discord few days ago: There's also Char-pic, which displays the image from a character sheet bio in chat: on('ready', function() { &nbsp; &nbsp; on('chat:message', function(msg) { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;if (msg.type == "api" &amp;&amp; msg.content.indexOf("!char-pic") !== -1) { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;var charid =msg.content.split(' ')[1]; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;var c = getObj('character',charid); &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;if(c) { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;var fPart = "&lt;div style='box-shadow: 3px 3px 2px #888888; font-family: Verdana; text-shadow: 2px 2px #000; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; padding: 1px 1px; margin-top: 0.1em; border: 1px solid #000; border-radius: 8px 8px 8px 8px; color: #FFFFFF;"; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;var Pic = fPart + "background-color:#AAAAAA;'&gt;&lt;img src='" + c.get('avatar') + "'&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;sendChat('', "/direct " + Pic); &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; } &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;}; &nbsp; &nbsp; }); }); Run that one with the macro !char-pic @{selected|character_id}

And I think that it is in the thing, though mentioned in several Stupid Tricks rather than on its own.

It might be that the URL ending with "original.png?14776360325" works, but you need to append "#.jpg" or "#.png" to it so that Roll20 will recognize it as an image. It doesn't matter which suffix.
