Random token from table on drop?

Hello all! I am looking for a way to have a different token face appear from roll tables when I drop a token, for example my zombie token has eight different artworks of zombies on the roll table token, and I want it so that when I drag and drop a token on the field, it will randomly select a different one each time. 

That could be done with an API script. If you don't mind a single extra step, you can select all of them and run a TokenMod command:

!token-mod --set currentside|*

Is there any way to get this command to fire whenever the token is dropped from the journal or whenever a token is copied and pasted?  Similar to how MHD rolls hitpoints on drop and paste?  I have a bestiary of like 1500 token images/sides and would love to have them drop randomized instead of having to do it all manually.  

Not with TokenMod directly, but it would be a pretty simple API script to write, let me see what I can do. 

Give this a try.  Note that it will only work on non-marketplace images:

on('ready',()=>{

  const playerCanControl = (obj, playerid='any') => {
    const playerInControlledByList = (list, playerid) => list.includes('all') || list.includes(playerid) || ('any'===playerid && list.length);
    let players = obj.get('controlledby')
      .split(/,/)
      .filter(s=>s.length);

    if(playerInControlledByList(players,playerid)){
      return true;
    }

    if('' !== obj.get('represents') ) {
      players = (getObj('character',obj.get('represents')) || {get: function(){return '';} } )
        .get('controlledby').split(/,/)
        .filter(s=>s.length);
      return  playerInControlledByList(players,playerid);
    }
    return false;
  };

  const getCleanImgsrc = (imgsrc) => {
    let parts = imgsrc.match(/(.*\/images\/.*)(thumb|med|original|max)([^?]*)(\?[^?]+)?$/);
    if(parts) {
      return parts[1]+'thumb'+parts[3]+(parts[4]?parts[4]:`?${Math.round(Math.random()*9999999)}`);
    }
    return;
  };
  const isString = (s)=>'string'===typeof s || s instanceof String;

  let tokenIds = [];

  const saveTokenId = (obj) => {
    tokenIds.push(obj.id);
  };

  const setTokenRandomSide = (obj,prev,force=false) => {
    if(tokenIds.includes(obj.id) || force){
      tokenIds=tokenIds.filter(id => id !== obj.id);
      if( 'graphic' === obj.get('type') && 'token'   === obj.get('subtype') && ! playerCanControl(obj)){
        let sideText = obj.get('sides');
        if( sideText.length ){
          let sides = sideText.split(/\|/).map(decodeURIComponent).map(getCleanImgsrc).filter(isString);
          if(sides.length){
            obj.set({
              imgsrc: sides[randomInteger(sides.length)-1]
            });
          }
        }
      }
    }
  };

  on('add:graphic', saveTokenId);
  on('change:graphic', setTokenRandomSide);

});

Also, I set it up to only change non-PC tokens randomly.

Thanks for the the script! I tried it but I got an error...I'm not sure where it is, because reading the errors that showed up once I put it in, it has stuff that is not in what you made. Other API I am running are: Group Initiative, Token Mod, Token Action Maker, Monster Hit Dice, lib token markers, token name number, and namegen.

The error that I got looks like this.

My only guess is that your token images are not stored in your quota, even the default marketplace ones or external urls are going to fail in this script, everything must be in YOUR quota.  

So having any tokens that use images from marketplace, or the freebies would break the script? That is gonna take me a long time to fix, since I have images for every creature on the SRD, many of them are from the marketplace, free assets, or 'from the web'

Edit

Did some testing with it, and ran the script again, this time dropping a token with a roll table with nothing but my own quota, and it worked just fine. Looks like I just need to remember which ones have rolltables with assets that are not my own.

Got it working, amazing work The Aaron! This would make an amazing addition to the script library!

Hmm.  It shouldn't crash like that, I'll track down the issue and update the code.

OK, fixed the code above, it won't crash like that now!
