[Request] API Request

I can use the GM Notes of tokens as a source of "attribute"? Let's say in my file has a text area where I type the text with bold, space, etc., and use another macro to play that text in the chat. I could make some API caught text GM Notes Token and played on the screen? My NPCs have no record player it is much more than the enemy character, and the ridiculous amount of chips you need to create, so I would play the necessary information right on GM Notes of Tokens.

I'm not completely clear on what you're asking for.   Are you saying you want to have tokens with their GM Notes full of some information which you want to treat and access as attributes? (not possible with the API) Are you saying you want to have a way to take the text in the GM Notes of a token and display it in the chat? (Trivially easy with the API) Or something else?

Hi, your question was also confused, but let me try to clarify things: I want to pull the GM Note through some command like an attribute. Say the attribute would be selected @{selected|gmnote} and in gmnote put something like ** this is the example test ** Then the chat type: /em something here @{selected|gmnote} (or !gmnote) to leave something like: (GM) something here  this is the example test

The @{selected} syntax wouldn't be possible, but some other syntax could be created and parsed by the API.

As Brian said.  @{selected} and the like are expanded on the client.  So when you type those in chat, your browser has code that replaces them with the value when you hit enter.  The API, on the other hand, operates on a server far removed from your client.  The API cannot affect the way UI elements like @{selected} are expanded. Depending on what you are using your bars for on the token, you could put that text you have in the GMNotes in the max part of a bar and access it with @{selected|bar3|max} or some such.  Additionally, an API script could detect when you edit GMNotes on a token and set that bar's max value to the contents of the GMNotes, giving the illusion that you are accessing the GMNotes.

Doesn't the "It's a trap" script pull info from the GM Notes of a token? Couldn't you do something similiar to that?

Certainly, but you couldn't access it with an attribute syntax.

Yeah, but it's all stored as JSON, which is then parsed so that the script can use those extra "attributes". Then, a script could pull the text directly without the need of an attribute? Using, for example, !gmnote. Following is the photo of the tokens that I'm using. To put a suggestion: for each token had at least three specific attributes beyond their own bars. So we could conclude that they had Bar1, Bar2, Bar3, Aura1, Aura2, New1, New2 and New3. News These could be, for example, catch phrases they might be talking at random. There is this script that I use to send message to the chat every time someone enters the room - motd Note - he would have what I need?

MotD takes its information from a handout, not a token, but it's a similar concept. If I could understand exactly what you want, I think it would be a pretty simple script, but I think there's a language barrier here.

If I could understand exactly what you want, I think it would be a pretty simple script, but I think there's a language barrier here. I want a script that, when typing '! gm note 'anywhere in the chat or even being brought by some attribute, pull the GM Note information. Same Mod Note even if there is through the handout.

Ok.  Try this: on('ready',function(){     'use strict';     on('chat:message',function(msg){         if('api' === msg.type && msg.content.match(/^!gmnote/) && playerIsGM(msg.playerid) ){             _.chain(msg.selected)             .map( s => getObj('graphic',s._id))             .reject(_.isUndefined)             .each( o => {                 sendChat(o.get('name'),decodeURIComponent(o.get('gmnotes')));             });         } }); }); Select a token and execute: !gmnote If that token has a GM Note, it will be sent to the chat with the sender as the selected token's name.

Could this be configured to search the GMnote for specific lines of text and only display that? ex: !gmnote-poison would find the poison line and display DC20 vs fort or 1d2 con drain 6 rnds.  Admittedly, this is probably stretching the capabilities. 

It could. :)

And how could that be configured, oh mighty scriptomancer?

Something like this: on('ready',function(){     'use strict';     on('chat:message',function(msg){         if('api' === msg.type && msg.content.match(/^!gmnote/) && playerIsGM(msg.playerid) ){             let match=msg.content.match(/^!gmnote-(.*)$/),                 regex;             if(match && match[1]){                 regex = new RegExp(`^${match[1]}`,'i');             }                                              _.chain(msg.selected)                 .map( s => getObj('graphic',s._id))                 .reject(_.isUndefined)                 .reject((o)=>o.get('gmnotes').length===0)                 .each( o => {                     if(regex){                         let lines=_.filter(decodeURIComponent(o.get('gmnotes')).split(/(?:[\n\r]+|<br\/?>)/),(l)=>regex.test(l)).join('\r');                         sendChat(o.get('name'),lines);                     } else {                         sendChat(o.get('name'),decodeURIComponent(o.get('gmnotes')));                     }                 });         }     }); }); !gmnote-<something> Will output all the lines starting with <something> !gmnote-poison Outputs all the lines that start with poison (case insensitive).  Note that formatting will change what "start with" means.

Aaron, sometimes I wonder if you realize how truly astonishing your knowledge and talent for this stuff is. 

It's a burden yes, but one that I can live with. =D

Slight edit the the above.. took out some debugging code. =D

thx, I'll try.
