Map pins in Jumpgate

March 27 (2 weeks ago)

Ok so jump gate seems to have deactivated my clickable links using this macro:

!me&{template:default} {{name=@{target|select a location|token_name}}} {{@{target|select a location|bar1} [click here to learn more](@{target|select a location|bar1|max})}}

I checked on legacy and it still works fine but on Jumpgate it is DOA. My handouts in my "Master Handout" still link fine but the landing page where I have many items to link and get "further Info" about no longer create the chat pop up they are supposed to. Any help? any one else seeing this?

Hi VoxEterna, 

My guess is the problem is in the Mod (API Script) you are using. Any script that uses VTT location (where something is on the map) has to be updated to handle Jumpgate. If the script is not yours I would post in the Mods (API Scripts) forum with a statement of which script you are using and ask for folks to update it to Jumpgate capability.

I think the only script here is the !me, a self-whisper script? The "location" is just a variable for the name value.


Hi VoxEterna!

Does the macro still fail without that initial call? It seems to work for me (screenshot below, from my Jumpgate game).


Do you have the mod installed on your Jumpgate game?

Keith thanks for the response. I believe I do have the mod installed. It carried over when I updated to jumpgate. I don't know what you mean by initial call. Here is how it looks for me. the macro script is exactly as I copied and pasted above:


When clicking on the "Click-here-to-select" button the cursor arrow does change to the + target reticule when it hovers over a clickable item but the Whisper does not happen.

The "initial call" is the "!me ", which invokes a script, which has the potential change a message drastically. I meant if you removed that, so that you are just running a plain macro without invoking the API, does the base macro fail.

The target function should work regardless, due to the order of operations, so I'm not surprised there, but I wanted to rule out script interference.

When the "!me " is left out, what actually does occur when you select a macro with information in those token bars? Bad data? Nothing? Error message?

it does indeed work again without whisper. when I removed !me, I had totally forgotten that I had an API in there at all. I reviewed my set up procedure and reset the API sandbox and it works now even with the initial call. Thanks for the walk through.
