[Request] Locking Token Resize (and a toggle for removing resize modes)

Maybe this is mundane, but it bothers me.

I dislike that every time I select a token, it get super cluttered by the re-size nodes. Tokens are not big, and unless you've got big 'ole fat squares in your grid, when you select your Token, a lot of it is covered by the re-sizing nodes. I hate it, and I'd like to be able to turn them off.

Maybe that's too superficial, sure.
But, it bothers me in another way. Every time you go to move a token, you risk accidentally re-sizing it. To which, the default response seems to be "Oh just hit Ctrl+Z" Bah! Just let me turn re-sizing off! I have to custom indicate the size of my tokens. Snap is necessary, because a grid is necessary, and any time you accidentally re-size a token, it defaults back to it's weird stretched out wrong size.

Any suggestions? I haven't been in school for years. My java is beyond rusty.

Hi Stephen!

There isn't a way in the API to get rid of the resize handles, but we can do something about the resizing. I wrote a script a while back that would prevent players from moving their tokens (or rather move them back if they did), and the behavior you're after is very similar. I modified that script into a new script called SizeLock, which will allow you to toggle on/off the resizing of tokens. It can't prevent you from resizing them, but in the locked state it will automatically revert a size change (and fix the position if it moved because of the resize).


You'll need my isGM script: https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/920764/script-is...
Here is ScriptLock: https://gist.github.com/shdwjk/e24c6a251af7969291e...

Beautiful! This is definitely helpful. Thanks so much!

No worries! Let me know if you need anything else!

Okay maybe this is silly. I got isGM in happily, but how do I use ScriptLock? I can't find where to toggle it

You just type these commands in the chat (or make some macros):

Lock the resizes with this:

!script-lock lock

Allow the resizes again here:

!script-lock unlock

You can display help with this:

!script-lock

Let me know if you need anything else!
