[REQUEST] More numbers on token ?

Hi everyone, I searched for an API that could allow more numbers to appear when you click on a token but didn't seem to find one. Simply, i would more bars in the Edit Token or an equivalent. I have seen topics saying it would be a good idea to implement that but it would be difficult to code.

I have some ideas about this, can you give some insight into your use cases?
Thanks for that. Yes, i simply use it to track down rapidly some numbers in Attributes. I already use the 3 bars for health, defense and special defense but i would like to see 3 types of evasion and overland, that would mean at least 7 numbers to show up with health being a bar. All the numbers i would like to see are in form of Attributes

One idea I had was to setup several different mailings of attributes and cycle them when you turned on different status markers. So with your example, maybe the mapping would shift the the 3 evasion types when you put the blue dot on.  Does something like that sound like it would work?
Hmm Could be helpful. Is there really no API that add bars like they already are? Like with just numbers floating around the token when you click on it?

Nope.  The API can only manipulate the objects in Roll20, not the User Interface.
How about having a macro or something telling me thoses numbers. I only need to modify rapidly the health, the others are just informative.

You can do that easily enough: /w gm My evasion is @{Bob|Evasion}
Look into TokeNotes. &nbsp;It will let you use the 3rd bar to provide a wall of text if you want it. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1760741/script-tokenotes" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1760741/script-tokenotes</a>
The Aaron said: You can do that easily enough: /w gm My evasion is @{Bob|Evasion} Will dig into commands to macro that, could be alot more simple even if that's not really how i was seing it.

If i make a macro like The Aaron write, will it display the Attribute ?

The @{Bob|Evasion} will get replaced with the value stored in the Evasion attribute on the character Bob.&nbsp; See:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros</a>
Could there be a macro that : - do that macro each time i select a token, without i have to select token then run the macro - can be activate and deactivate, so it don't spam the chat everytime unless in combat ??

You can't make a macro activate on select.&nbsp;
