MACRO SYNTAX ALTERATION

There is a feature of Roll20 that I have come to enjoy and which I need help in recreating.  This feature is related to condition statuses where if you apply a condition status to a player, not only will it affix an icon to represent said condition to the player token, it will also post an information card outlining the rules for that condition to the global chat. However, not being a fan of the default status icons, I opted to purchase a condition status icon pack from the market place and associate it with my game. After doing this, the information card would no longer post to the chat as previously mentioned.  I'll spare you the details but suffice it to say that after spending several hours trying to figure out what exactly was pushing that status information card to the chat, I determined that its part of the default Roll20 environment and is directly dependent on a player specifically using the "Default Token Marker" (DTM) pack for status identification. Even if you make copies of the DTM status icon and give it an identical name, it will not work as previously described. The only way to have this operate is to either use the Roll20 DTM or you can copy the original over to another marker library however in both of those cases you cannot rename or reassign the images of those markers as they are protected. The only way to rename them is to make an in-direct copy and upload it back to Roll20 but this automatically breaks the functions.  The best solution I can come up with to circumvent this problem, and still use my new status tokens, is to create my own status cards, upload them to Roll20 as images, alter the macro I am using, and post them via URL to the chat. I performed some rudimentary testing and this works surprisingly well. The issue is, I lack the coding prowess to figure out the syntax to weave this into the existing macro I am using and I am hoping that one of you has a similar macro I can build from or if you can look at the code below, and tell me how and where to enter an additional command for each status that will assign the status icon and post the information card image from the upload URL. !token-mod ?{Status|Concentrating, --set statusmarkers#!stopwatch|Readying, --set statusmarkers#!stopwatch|-, |Blinded, --set statusmarkers#!bleeding-eye --flip light_hassight|Charmed, --set statusmarkers#!broken-heart|Deafened, --set statusmarkers#!edge-crack|Frightened, --set statusmarkers#!screaming|Grappled, --set statusmarkers#!grab|Invisibility, --set statusmarkers#!ninja-mask|Incapacitated, --set statusmarkers#!interdiction|Paralyzed, --set statusmarkers#!pummeled|Petrified, --set statusmarkers#!frozen-orb|Poisoned, --set statusmarkers#!chemical-bolt|Prone, --set statusmarkers#!back-pain|Restrained, --set statusmarkers#!fishing-net|Stunned, --set statusmarkers#!fist|Unconscious, --set statusmarkers#!sleepy|-, |Blessed, --set statusmarkers#!angel-outfit|Raging, --set statusmarkers#!overdrive|Marked, --set statusmarkers#!archery-target|-, |Dead, --set statusmarkers#=dead|-, |Clear Conditions, --set statusmarkers#-Blinded#-broken-heart#-edge-crack#-screaming#-grab#-pummeled#-aura#-chemical-bolt#-back-pain#-fishing-net#-fist#-frozen-orb#-interdiction#-sleepy#-ninja-mask#-dead|Clear All, --set statusmarkers#-Blinded#-broken-heart#-edge-crack#-screaming#-grab#-pummeled#-aura#-chemical-bolt#-back-pain#-fishing-net#-fist#-frozen-orb#-interdiction#-sleepy#-ninja-mask#-angel-outfit#-overdrive#-blue#-stopwatch#-archery-target#-dead} The way this functions is as follows: Select player token Activate macro Select appropriate status Press enter RESULT:    Player is given the associated condition status icon to their token and an information card is automatically pushed to the global chat If the DM selects the same token and tries to assign the same status, the status is removed and no information card is pushed to the chat REQUEST: Help alter macro code to recreate the aforementioned functionality but where the information card is pushed to the chat in conjunction with or directly after a status has been selected or summited. If anyone knows an easier way to do what I am trying to do, I am open to suggestions.  (Sorry for the long post)

Are you using the Condefinition script? It sounds like that's the source of the 'information card' that you're describing. If not, which scripts are you using?  If you are using Condefinition, it can be customized to work with any custom status markers.

Hi Aeroica! I'd recommend looking into the Condefinition or Combat Master (One Click) scripts.

I was told this hasnt been supported and is a bit of relic from when Roll20 didn't fully support status conditions. I just installed Condefinition but it wont load due to a syntax error. I copied and pasted directly from the link provided.
