Can someone Help with a SpinTokens Macro for a token on the map layer?

Hello, I'm trying to use TheAron's SpinTokens script to rotate a token on my map layer. I wanted to have a macro button to start and stop the spinning as needed, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I got the token ID and created my macro like this: !spin-start [90] [--ids | -NC1fn0uJjrC1PD6HPYG] But when I click the macro, I only see the help in the chatlog and the token doesn't spin. It works fine for a selected token, but I designed a map where the spinning token is behind another token so I can't select the token directly easily I'm sure I made a dumb mistake somewhere
Pad the spinning token out with transparent space and you will be able to select it around the token stacked above it.

Without looking at the code (just going off what I know of Aaron's style), I would bet that the space after --ids is the problem. The script is likely looking for "ids|foo" and splitting on the '|', then comparing what's on the left. It knows what to do with "ids", but would treat "ids " as something else.

Where did you get that command line from? If it's this script , you just want !spin-start 90 as per the examples in the thread. Square brackets are generally used in documentation to indicate an optional parameter or something to be inserted, much like <insert text here> means you replace that who thing, including the "<" and ">". So get rid of those. It doesn't look like the script supports supplying ids either, it just runs on the selected tokens. so get rid of the whole --ids thing as well, that's a TokenMod command.

Or that. Let's go with that. Helps if we read the documentation, apparently.

I was trying to hit the specific token using it's Token ID, but I was just making it too complicated. I think once the token starts spinning it never stops, haha. I ended up just starting the token spinning and then moving the scenery on top of it before bringing the players over. Was much simpler that way. Check out my resulting map, I think it's pretty great.

I know it's too late, but for future reference it looks like --ids **is** supported, though? &nbsp;I'd try removing the vertical pipe as Tim suggested. Here's the part that parses the ids. Splitting on spaces, not pipes. let cmds = a.split(/\s+/); switch(cmds[0]){ case 'ids': ids = [...new Set([ ...ids, ...cmds.slice(1) ])]; break; ...etc

Also, for future-future reference, if a script doesn't support an --ids &nbsp; -type argument and only works on the tokens you have selected, that's exactly where SelectManager can come in handy... letting you virtually select the tokens without having to actually locate them on the board: !spin-start 90 {&amp;select -NC1fn0uJjrC1PD6HPYG} !spin-start 90 {&amp;select Hank} !spin-start 90 {&amp;select Bahbee} !spin-start 90 {&amp;select @{target|Target|token_id}}
