Does anyone happen to know if there is a script around that allows you to:
(1) Select one or more tokens
(2) Run a macro to add a Player to the "In Player's Journals" entry for the character sheets linked to those tokens
- this could also be "none"
I know TokenMod lets you set the "Controlled By" but I don't believe it does Journals.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Here's a modified tokenMod that adds inplayerjournals functionality. It hooks straight into Aaron's controlledby functionality, so syntax is identical. Example:
!token-mod --set inplayerjournals|+oosh controlledby|-oosh
... remove Oosh's control of character, but show in Oosh's journal.
Important to note that journal visibility is a property of Characters and not Tokens. This setting will do nothing to a token with no linked character sheet.
Installing:
Make sure you click the "raw" button before doing a Ctrl-A select-all to copy the text - I don't trust Pastebin's prettified text.
Oh, and you probably want to disabled the one-click version while you're using the modified one.
Aaron is pretty busy these days, but will probably get around to adding it properly at some point :)
Modded:
- line 132 - add key for 'inplayerjournals'
- lines 3346 => 3351 - compile current 'inplayerjournals' array while doing 'controlledby' array
- lines 3377 => 3393 - modified 'controlledby' path to accommodate inplayerjournals
The Aaron pointed out in a conversation elsewhere, that "In Player Journals" is specifically a character journal property, whereas permissions can be set on a token (or granted through the character setting). For those not wanting to depart from One Click updates, it might be better to write a short script for this purpose. ChatSetAttr can't do it either, because that is specifically for character sheet attributes, not character journal properties.
Good to know.
I would have assumed that as TokenMod already updates character sheet ownership via tokens that extending it to the Journal as well would be consistent / easy to do... but assumption is never as good as evidence :-)
Of course if he has decided that it isn't appropriate to add to TokenMod then that makes sense, alas while I can likely code well enough to insert code into new versions, I doubt I could code my own separate script to run the code Oosh put together.
Lol. I've never added it for that reason, and because I want to rewrite TokenMod as just a general !mod, but haven't got around to it. I'll take Oosh's push and bring this into the next version of TokenMod.
DM: You hear the Scriptomancer walk off down the hallway.
Oosh: I'll sneak into his study.
DM: Are you sure you want to do that?
Oosh: Yep!
DM: You're in the Scriptomancer's study. As a strong believer in shared learnings, he hasn't locked the door.
Oosh: Awesome! I'll grab his spellbook.
DM: You grab his spellbook. There's a whole heap of original spells in here, the one at the front is quite long.
Oosh: Cool! I'll add some words to it to make it better.
DM: *Raises an eyebrow* Are you really sure you want to do that? Make an Arcana check.
Oosh: It's an 11. That's better than average, right?
DM: After your Int mod is applied, no. No it is not. You failed to improve the spell, but you did manage to draw a few dicks in the margin.
Oosh: I'm happy with this outcome.
DM: You hear footsteps coming back down the hall towards the study.
Oosh: Uh oh! Can I roll stealth now?
DM: What for?
Oosh: To hide!
DM: Where?
Oosh: Behind the spellbook?
DM: *sigh* I guess this will be easier if I just let you roll. Go on, then.
Oosh: I rolled a one. That's good isn't it? Ziechael said it's the best number.
DM: The Scriptomancer walks straight up to you and snatches your 'hiding place' from your filthy hobbit hands.
Oosh: I dive under the table. Can I make a saving throw?
DM: What? Why? The Scriptomancer isn't attacking you.... yet. But you are now under the table. By the way, this would have been a better hiding place than behind a book you were holding.
Oosh: Oh. What's the Scriptomancer doing now?
DM: Well he doesn't look impressed. He's shaking his head and mumbling something about 'not what the damned spell is for'...
Oosh: I shout "Francesco made me do it" and hide. Can I roll stealth again?
