API Script Ideas

I'm contemplating upgrading to a Pro subscription, but it mostly hinges on three potential scripts. I've seen videos of tokens flipping horizontally after movement, but will this work for PCs, too?  Or does it only work when the GM with API scripts moves them? I also wonder if its possible to add the ability to have the token turn around (via acessing a rollable table).  If you move the character up, you will see their back, upleft they face NW, etc. Finally, is it possible for API scripts to allow adjustable WASD movement?  I would like to use all three of these in my games, but it would be pretty useless if I can do it, but my players can't.

Likewise, I do not think you can adjust the rate. It is either 1 cell, or if holding the Alt key down, 1 pixel.

Thank you very much.  My rollable tables are permanent, 649 at the moment, so I'm very happy to hear that.  I made suggestion about letting PCs use advanced token features so they're not asking me to orient their token after every turn.  People didn't seem eager, so I assumed it must be possible with API.  Thank you again.

Off the shelf, you can create a macro that players can use to set their orientation with either a dropdown query, or a  Chat Menu . Token-mod has all the commands for rotation, flipping, and face changing.

This is probably in the wheelhouse for 2):&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2778056/script-token-face-change-based-on-rotation" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2778056/script-token-face-change-based-on-rotation</a>
