Speak in different languages

This works when only two players know the same language. It's just a macro with whisper. language-kraken /w @{target|token_name} ``[in kraken]`` ?{Message} In Kraken: [[1t[kraken-words] ]] [[1t[kraken-words] ]] [[1t[kraken-words] ]] Then I created a table with some randomish words: But the output is pretty nice. The two players use a macro to speak, so they don't accidentally type it into the chat window, the person they're talking to gets a message, and other players get mysterious words.

Mike, that would be an excellent addition to the Stupid Tricks thread . It's a solution to that idea that I have not seen before.

Great idea, did some testing/tweaking 'cause I'm a meddling so-and-so and came up with the following option for increased flexibility: /w @{target|token_name} ``[in ?{Language|dwarven|elvish|draconic|abyssal}]`` ?{Message} In ?{Language}: [[1t[?{Language}] ]] [[1t[?{Language}] ]] The only caveat here is that your language tables names need to match the output you want as part of the initial messages :)

I really love that addition, Ziechael. I'll post the combined solution into the Stupid Tricks thread tonight.

Nice!

It's a great extension of the  language character sheet stupid trick already on there. Then you could modify it even further to be something like: /w "?{Language|dwarven|elvish|draconic|abyssal}" ``[in ?{Language}]`` ?{Message} In ?{Language}: [[1t[?{Language}] ]] [[1t[?{Language}] ]] where the languages are also character sheets that players get assigned access to based on their known languages, and then all elvish/kraken/draconic/etc speakers get the message as well.
