You are correct, you need an API script involved. I have one I wrote that depends on libTokenMarkers from the 1-click. This script will create attributes on the character named sm_MARKER_NAME, so sm_blue, sm_poisoned, etc. for every available status marker and set the value to 0. It will then adjust the value to whatever number you assign to it. I wrote this script a while ago, so let me know if it has any problems, and be sure to install libTokenMarkers along with it. Code: /* global libTokenMarkers */
on('ready',() => {
// Make sure libTokenMarkers exists, and has the functions that are expected
if('undefined' === typeof libTokenMarkers
|| (['getStatus','getStatuses','getOrderedList'].find(k=>
!libTokenMarkers.hasOwnProperty(k) || 'function' !== typeof libTokenMarkers[k]
))
) {
// notify of the missing library
sendChat('',`/w gm <div style="color:red;font-weight:bold;border:2px solid red;background-color:black;border-radius:1em;padding:1em;">Missing dependency: libTokenMarkers</div>`);
} else {
const markerOnValue = 1;
let allMarkers = libTokenMarkers.getOrderedList();
let tagToMarkerLookup = allMarkers.reduce((m,tm)=>{
m[tm.getTag()]=tm;
return m;
},{});
const markerAttrRegexp=new RegExp(`^sm_(?:${allMarkers.map(m=>m.getName()).join('|')})$/;`,'i');
const getOrCreateAttr = (()=>{
let cache = findObjs({ type: 'attribute'})
.filter( a => markerAttrRegexp.test(a.get('name')))
.reduce( (m,a) => {
const cid=a.get('characterid');
m[cid]=m[cid]||{};
m[cid][a.get('name')]=a;
return m;
},{});
return (p)=>{
if(!cache.hasOwnProperty(p.characterid) || !cache[p.characterid].hasOwnProperty(p.name)){
cache[p.characterid]=cache[p.characterid]||{};
cache[p.characterid][p.name] = createObj('attribute',p);
}
return cache[p.characterid][p.name];
};
