Community Forums: Setting Token Bar Text Overlays via API

1629647986

For the 3 token bars, you have the option to set the text overlay visibility through the UI, is this possible via the API?  I have not seen it in the api docs or in TokenMod?

I don't see it in token-mod's docs either, but you can set the bars to "Compact" which will hide the text overlay. Either of these should work: !token-mod --set compact_bar|compact !token-mod --set compact_bar|on

Yeah, those were only recently exposed to the api (maybe a couple months ago?), so some documentation might be behind.

Thanks both, I'm actually looking to do the opposite and set the text overlay to player visible so without knowing what the property is to set I'm a bit snookered.

Oh, if you mean the token's nameplate and/or current bar values? That is set with the showplayers_XXXX properties, as described here . !token-mod --set showplayers_name|true !token-mod --set showplayers_bar1|true If you mean the text drawing tool, I'm not aware of a way to change visibility.

Christian is talking about the numerical overlay on token bars, which can be set graphically, but has not been exposed to the API. At least insofar as either of us can see from the API Objects page ( Wiki , Help Center ).

KeithCurtis is completely on the Money. Also not visible by grabbing a token with the values changes and JSON.stringify()ing it to have a look at the properties.
