[Script Request] Linking tokens on seperate maps

Kind of a niche thing, but basically I want to be able to 'link' 2 tokens on similar maps, so that any action made by one is made by the other.

The reason I want a script like this is because in my campaign I'm wanting to run a scenario where the party is interacting with illusionists. One of my players would be able to see through the illusions, so he would be on a separate map from the rest of the party, where the map layout is the same, but the illusions have been replaced with the actual identities of the tokens. I was hoping that there was someway that I could do this, without having to constantly switch between pages and update the tokens individually.


The bar values and status markers don't need to update, mainly just the locations of the tokens updating on both pages simultaneously.

Hopefully I've made myself clear enough...

Nothing like that exists currently, but I've always wanted to write something for this...

...Ok! Done!

Twins v0.1

This is a hacked together script, so it's a bit rough around the edges...

Commands:

• !twins [token id] [token_id] -- Specify the two token ids to twin. You can use @{selected|token_id} for one of them, but you'll have to copy paste the other since you can't select across pages. Adding a token to a twin relationship that is already a twin will remove its other twin relationship.

!twins -JiiOlS-vFIPqWr1L7io -Jh1sr9gXH7OmoUB2S3e

• !not-twins [token_id] -- Specify a token id to remove its twin relationship. You only need to specify one of the twins.

!not-twins @{selected|token_id}

Note: Removing a token that is a twin will remove the twin relationship.

These are the properties being copied between twins:
I left off name and show name, so you can change those individually. You can remove any of the other ones by taking it out of the list of props at the top of the script.

Note: If you change anything about a token with the API (for example, using !torch to set it's light), this change will not be synchronized until you change something manually, such as a status marker. This is a limitation of API changes not triggering change events in Roll20, but shouldn't be too much of a problem for you.

Let me know how it goes!

Great, thanks! I haven't tried it officially yet (like in campaign play) but it seems to work fine in rudimentary testing.

Cool... =D Can't wait to hear how it goes! You should be able to like not only the enemies but the players as well. =D

Aaron... Roll20's official API-hog does it again lol.

Love your idea J G, may well have to throw something similar into my campaign, especially with this added functionality... inspired use of roll20!
