Generic way to whisper oneself

1586622232

Edited 1586625463
I have a chat menu for whispers. However, I appear to have three options: 1) Either the players whisper the GM to get the menu to appear without alert the other players that some whispering is occurring (which clogs up my chat window and confuses me on who is whispering whom). 2) The Whisper menu appears to everyone. 3) Create individual whisper menus for every player. I'd like to have a player be able to whisper the menu to themselves (without creating a bunch of separate whisper menus). "/w me" is not recognized. I attempted to use the /talktomyself before and after the Whisper menu, but as expected all that happened was the silly talktoyourself messages with nothing in between. Thoughts from the macro masters? Thanks!
You can whisper to characters  instead of players. Players that control that character will be able to see the whispers. If you don't want to create individual whisper menu's, then you can require your players to select their character's token first. You also put the following line at the start of your whisper menu macro: /w "@{selected|token_name}" <insert whisper menu here> The quotation marks around the attribute call ensure that this also works for characters with spaces in their names. However, this only works for tokens that are linked to character sheets and that share the character's name. Luckily, this is usually the case for PCs.
Thanks, Daniel! Very helpful.
