Initiative idea

Score + 3
Plz forgive me if this is already done before.   Idea: Let GM layer tokens that use the initiative button, from sheet, whisper it to the GM instead of posting it into the chat.   Scenario example: I had some skeletons shown, and a pile of bones\armor\weapons on the ground level. With the shown skeletons above.   I wanted the ones above to lure them into the bones\armor\weapons and then have the skeletons come to life, ToEE style.  I hid the skeleton tokens on the GM layer to simulate this when they appear on the token layer.    Problem is , When I go to gm layer I think it is broadcasting their initiatives to the whole game. Thus ruining the surprise.

Hi Tent,  Whether the initiative roll goes to the GM or the general chat is a setting on most character sheets.  Which character sheet are you using? (There are over 1000 character sheets across 300+ game systems)
The default 3.5 one by diana something

Edit: I took a look at the sheet and it already looks like it can whisper initiative rolls to the GM. It appears to be working correctly to me.  If you post your initiative setup I could take a look to see what is not working right for you. 
With the initiative button?   Or do I have to swap it over somehow?

Are you using an initiative macro or are you pushing the button on the NPC's sheet?
The initiative button, if I have to open the sheet everytime, that's not gonna work, due to sheer token numbers.
