Scripts to show sheet values on the gameboard?

Edited 1583352303
Hey! So I've GMed a bunch of Forged in the Dark games so far, and since we don't have maps I've been using the gameboard to do thematic UI's for the various games we've been playing. Here's a bunch of pictures of the things I've been doing: <a href="https://imgur.com/a/yHok89c" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/yHok89c</a> I use the Blades in the Dark companion script available in the script library to good effect to show (depending on what board we're talking about) Stress meters, Action dots, Harm markers (something I hacked in) and such. Mostly I use the function to display Stress as a generic function to link rollable tables to character sheet values. I'm transitioning to PbtA for my next game, and I thought "I wonder if there's a generic script for this stuff?", and as it turns out, there isn't?! Am I wrong? I did some basic searches that didn't come up with much. What I'm looking for is this: Placing and linking rollable table tokens to numeric values, preferably with the option to show negatives as well. "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "&nbsp;&nbsp; rollable table tokens to strings, binary off and on. "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "&nbsp;&nbsp; text fields to sheet values, numeric and strings. Placing the character portrait as a token. Positioning options for the above functions, basic layout. Maybe something I've forgotten. I know all of this is possible, the Automated Status Screen script on itmejp's site does all of this except it's not interactive. Here's an image example of that: <a href="https://i.imgur.com/dC8PIdU.png" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/dC8PIdU.png</a> I don't really have the skills to do this myself or I might have. Does anyone know of a script like this that I've missed? Thanks in advance!

The reason there isn't a generic version dealing with graphics is the API's inability to manipulate Marketplace Content. Provided your Rollable Table Tokens and Character avatar images are all in a User Library, it could be done. Text would be pretty easy.&nbsp;

You can probably do much of that with a combination of tokenmod and chatsetattr
Tokenmod can change tokens, but only on command, and chatsetattr sets sheet values, but doesn't read. I want/need something that links values and rollable table tokens so the tables change when the sheet is changed. IE when the player spends Stress, this is reflected on the gameboard by the assigned rollable table token changing. Think of it like a video game UI, except for roleplaying.
