Hi,
Is anyone aware of a macro command that will take the tooltip text of a selected, targeted or named token and send it the chat
My group uses the tooltip to note temporary conditions eg blind until end of next turn and I'd like to incorporate this into an OnMyTurn macro so when the token comes up in the turn order it will post a message to the chat in case we fail to hover over the token to see the tooltip.
Hopefully someone has cracked or can crack this
Thanks
The tooltip text is only available to be referenced by Mod scripts, just like the token or character sheet GM notes field. If you have a Pro subscription, you could use Supernotes or Metascripts or another script to reference the Tooltip field.
Since you have a Pro subscription, you can use Metascripts with this construction:
@(CharacterName.tooltip)
In Supernotes, the command would be
!pcnote --tooltip
Supernotes also pulls from many other sources, can control who sees the note, and offers a bunch of output templates.
Guys,
When posting on the forum my hope is always one of you guys will respond so thanks to both of you.
Jarren,
I have meta scripts installed but can't get this to work. Do you have an example how this would appear in a macro or script card
Keith,
I use Supernotes for a lot of things and really like the output templates. This works but posts it twice in the chat. I changed it to !gmnote --tooltip so it's whispered so the double posting isn't a major issue.
FFR, remember that metascripts only work in a script call. So, you have to start with a bang (!).
Then, if you want to output something from the message, you have to use {&simple} to that once the metascript work has finished, the message stops being a script call and is, instead, dumped out to chat.
So... just to check the value:
!@(Token Name.tooltip){&simple}
...or, to you use it in a template:
!&{template:default} {{name=Proof of Concept}} {{Tooltip=@(Token Name.tooltip)}} {&simple}
