[API - Tags] API Access to Image Tags.

API access to image tags...AND all other tags!

Currently API scripts that leverage images for things like random map generation have to have the image URLs hard coded in the script or loaded into a Rollable table.

This is really making the creation and sharing of these sort of API scripts (scripts that really leverage all Roll20 has to offer) challenging (its slowing API innovation.)

Having this feature would also be of value to market content creators, it would enable them to create packs that work with API scripts they have created or already currently exist.

Personally I'd expand this to tags in general, not just image tags

+1 Sympathy vote here. Agree that it shouldn't just be limited to image tags, but what the heck.

Its a brutal process. You have my empathy and apology.

However its less brutal than drawing Dynamic Lighting paths every time you place a tile down.

And with the "Wall Restriction", and "objc.remove()" and API hyperlink commands.... things are getting amazing.

Drop in... move around... easy easy easy. But we still have to relate the image URL to the data. :/

But...

With API access to tags? Content creators can provide the pathing data with the asset or a standard "key."

Once we get that... we get Vince to to nag Aaron to write the epic dungeon script and we get Alan making tile packs.

And I then wont have to do anything.... which has always been my ambition in life.

Something like this, even just doors, would remove so many of the user-unfriendly headaches that come with member level dynamic lighting.

Consider it for dropping in monsters as well.

API could be....

!mob orc,bloodsword 3

It would randomly drop in three of any tokens with "orc" and "bloodsword" as tags.

Its dreadful!

I have to do it for the market tokens... to make sure they all work.
Then I have to do it for the watermarked tokens... to make sure they all work... and to share them.
Then I try to help anyone that asks for help... more replacing of URLs.

Rumor is Riley is coming to save us... but keep voting.

(And when he does, I will have to go update the URLs for all my script again! But it should be for the last time! And now one else should have to to do it.)

I think I'll add my suggestion to remove "object.remove()" from the API. It's causing way too many issues...

Playing around with path finding with API.

This would be great especially if we could have better API access to images

With an A* search algorithm we could do a lot. 1) In the absence of waypoints this could be used to determine a player's path (great for auto traps.) 2) AI patrols… let the mobs wander! 3) Dungeon generations. Terrain information.

Not being able to use the API to grab images that I've purchased from the marketplace is a bitter pill to swallow. I paid good money for the right to use those assets in my campaign, and by any reasonable interpretation this should mean that I have full access to use them in my games. Those assets should be available to me with all of the same functionality as the artwork that I have created myself and uploaded into my image library!
