Show number on token (life of bar 1 for example) [Warhammer Quest]

Hi all First, thank you for this amazing thing that is Roll20. We're a group of players who stopped playing paper RPG because of the distance and discovered this site thanks to "Le bazar du grenier", a french podcaster. I'm trying to set up a campaign that we did in Warhammer Quest On the image, i'm player tagged as "E" (for elfe, in french). I juste want to know if it is possible to see the life of the minotaur token, 3 cases down from my player. This minotaur have 24 HP left (from a total of 35) and the only thing i can see is the bar. Is it possible to add number to this bar ? I can set up this token to be edited by all players so they will see bubble but by doing that they will also be able to change the life. (also i would want players to see each other life but i guess the answer for my first question will be good for this one as well) Thank you really much for your future(s) answer(s) Arartyans

If the GM gives players control over the minotaur token, they can view (and change) the HP bars, as you noted. Generally folks can only view the bar, not the value. If you're so inclined, you can use a macro to display the token information to a player privately though: /w PlayerName ?{target|token_name} HP: ?{target|bar1} / ?{target|bar1|max}

First, thanks for the answer Ok, if i can't do what i'm asking that's a solution, but showing the life on the bar would be sooo perfect, for the way we're playing, that's really needed ^^ Maybe with a script, that's why i'm asking, i've been searching on the internet for the whole week end but still nothing PS : here's an image to try explaining what i would want (or something similiar)

The thing you are looking for is probably possible with API Scripts, but isn't a core function of roll20. You can if I'm not mistaken make it so players can't edit the bars in the advanced options for a token. So that might solve the issue.

The closest you can come to displaying the actual numbers is by using the API to put the numbers on the statusmarkers. Here's a screenshot from the Flight script on the repo:

It isn't really possible with the API (at least not like this). If knowing the numbers is important to your game, you can provide a macro to the players that lets them check the hit points of a given creature: Health: @{target|which|bar1}/@{target|which|bar1|maximum} This will prompt the user to click a target, then display to chat something like (change bar1 to bar2 or bar3 if you have health in those other bars): Health: 24/35

Something you could do is use the name of the token to show the info. Minotaur (24/35) That would be possible with the API, though slightly complicated.

To Saitama : Oh yes never tried this, my mistake. So i set the token as controlled by all players and set the bar 1 to be seen but not edited. That way they see the bubble but can't edit it. The problem is that they can move the monster token and modify the statusmarker. But that's a great breakthrough and this solution, even if it's not what i really really want is far better than the one i'm using right now To Brian : tried your soltuion, assigned "wing" statusmarker and typed !fly 20 But nothing shew on the statusmarker But thanks, any response is good for me :) To The Aaron : Thanks for the answer, tried your macro solution and it works great even if it's complicated when you have a room full of monsters wich you want to check the life of ^^ For the name i thought of that, same problem when a room full of monsters. Thanks alot :)
