Setting custom status markers

I wrote a script that looks for all tokens with the same name, and adds a status marker to all of those tokens. Format is !setStatus —<tokenname> —status.  

For the standard set it works fine, but it will not work for the many custom status markers I use. 

How does one set a custom status via the api?

They work off ids I think?

Custom markers get a number appended to them, and need to be referenced that way. For example, I have custom markers in my test game. Here is the info for one of them:

"id":50296
"name":"grim-reaper38285"
"tag":"grim-reaper38285::50296"
"url":"URL HERE

The list of markers can be retrieved from the campaign object and is called token_markers. Here is a quick and dirty ScriptCard to list them all along with their image:

!script {{
  --~|array;fromstring;markers;},{;[*C:token_markers]
  --%loop|foreach;markers
    --/+Loop|[&loop]
    --~|array;fromstring;thismarker;,;[&loop]
	--&CleanURL|[@thismarker(3)]
	--&CleanURL|[&CleanURL(replace,"url":",)]
	--&CleanURL|[&CleanURL(replaceall,",)]
    --+Marker [@thismarker(0)]| [img width=20][&CleanURL][/img] [@thismarker(2)]
  --%|
  }}

Where you would use "skull", or "strong" for standard markers you would use the item in the tag field for custom ones (ex: radioactive38951::50310). Otherwise they work the same and can be included in the statusmarkers field on tokens like the normal ones.

I think if you install the libTokenMarkers library script (One Click), you do not need the number?

I recommend using libTokenMarkers like TokenMod & MetaScriptToolbox. It makes your life easier.

I believe that's right, Keith... the library lets you translate short-form names into the actual Roll20 marker object that you then need to add. A relevant example from TokenMod would be:

!token-mod --set statusmarkers|Dying

...where the "Dying" marker is a custom marker actually named "Dying::243507"

Incidentally, you can apply this to all tokens of a given name using TokenMod + the Metascript Toolbox by adding a {&select} tag. This formation would apply the Dying marker to all tokens named something starting with "Bobo"...

!token-mod --set statusmarkers|Dying {&select Bobo*}

i never sent my thank you. Wel... thank you!
