[Script Update] TokenMod -- An interface to adjusting properties of a token from a macro or the chat area.

And also do not have the lock overlay image. 

Just for clarity, I'm pretty sure I don't have door script. Probably you're thinking of Matt's or Scott's script?

I like this but would there be a way to make a command that behaves like tokenlock did?  Where it locks all tokens on the map?  Am thinkin specifically for when traps trigger and I want everything to freeze.  

I just updated my 'Lock' macro (previously using MapLock and TokenLock) to just use the new locking feature in TokenMod.

After creating a map on a page and getting everything set, I just select all (Ctrl-A) on the map layer and use my lock macro (which is just !token-mod --on lockMovement). This works great to prevent accidental moving of the map image later on. You could do the same thing by just selecting everything on the Object layer and then using the TokenMod lock after a trap is triggered.

---

But for locking just the player tokens, I found it was easier for me to just put the character_id's in an attribute on my MacroMule character (which stores the macros anyways) and just reference the attribute in the macro. That way I can update the 'AllPlayersIDList' attribute if I ever change characters or if they add familiars, etc.

?{Lock or Unlock |
Lock,!token-mod --on lockMovement |
Unlock,!token-mod --off lockMovement |
Lock Players,!token-mod --ids @{MacroMule|AllPlayersIDList} --on lockMovement|
Unlock Players,!token-mod --ids @{MacroMule|AllPlayersIDList} --off lockMovement}

AllPlayersIDList

@{CHARACTER1|character_id} @{CHARACTER2|character_id} @{CHARACTER3|character_id} ...

This is functionally the same as the TokenLock script, because it only affected tokens that had something set in the 'controlled by' field.  I also like that I can still use 'Vision Crumbs' without inadvertently turning off the locking when using a macro to unlock all player-controlled tokens.

So that's just an idea that might be helpful!

You might be interested in the --active-pages and --flip options:

!token-mod --ids @{MacroMule|AllPlayersIDList} --flip lockMovement --active-pages

--active-pages will only look on pages where there are logged on users. --flip will just toggle the setting for each.

As always you are helpful and insightful!

I don't think --flip is going to be as useful for me, because I don't typically have a lot of need to flip back and forth.  I'm typically using the Lock for transparent vision/light tokens and map images (so I want to keep them locked) and if I add a new item to the map page, it's easy for me to just select all and --on lockMovement. If I used --flip, then anything that was locked becomes unlocked.  And for the few times when I do want to 'stop the action', it's helpful to have it set to --off to make sure I'm getting all of my player's attention, and not accidentally unlocking something I wasn't trying to unlock. :) 

For other people who are locking/unlocking tokens more often, --flip would definitely be an easier way to toggle, and could make it a 'one-click' macro button.

But the --active-pages will be good to add to my macro.  I'm not typically using more than one active page, and I'm usually pulling out fresh tokens on new pages, but that could still potentially pop up from time to time, so that setting will help prevent issues when I've forgotten about this update in a couple months and how to go about adjusting the macro!

Thanks!

 I was asking if the token lock macro allowed interaction, but not movement. I will have time to test it out over them weekend, but I figured one of the illuminated would be able to answer and save the testing time.

The token lock (and map lock) scripts are workarounds. They do not actually prevent you from changing anything, but they immediately reversethe change. They do have the advantage over the new lock feature of preventing re-sizing and rotation.

Unfortunately yes. Players still can move their tokens but then they snap back.

Edit: found it: @{selected|bar1|max}

Edit: found it: @{selected|bar1|max}

BTW, you can get that functionality also with the bar1_reset,  bar2_reset, and bar3_reset pseudo attributes:

!token-mod --set bar1_reset|

(because of some necessary refactoring, the | needs to be on the end)

This will copy the bar1_max value into the bar1_value property.  The nice thing is, you can do it for a bunch of tokens at once that don't have the same max value.

Hi! I was wandering if there's a script for activate darkvision on a token when using Goggles of Night?

Or to set darkvision on his token when he clicks on the checkbox of that item on his character sheet?

Such a script could be written, I'd suggest posting a fresh thread in the API forum asking about it.

Thanks Aaron!!

But is it possible as a macro? I don't have access to the API :-)

It is just for one player!

Nope, such automation is what the API is for. There isn't a way to do that without the API. 

The Aaron said:

And that's the reason why your API token-mod is such a big tool! I control sight and lighting, status icons etc. with it. Becoming blind? Click. See again? Click. SEVERAL PCs got poisoned? ONE click.

And everytime I play with a DM without that tool, I see how cumbersome DMing can be. Thanks again for it, Aaron!

No problem. =D

Can tokenmod be used to play/stop an animation for an animated token? E.g., there are animated token packs that say, show a door opening, and I'd like to create a macro that would call token mod to tell the door to open, and then another call to doorknocker that would handle the dynamic lighting.

As of a couple of weeks ago the API did not have access to the animation controls. Matt's Door Script shows door open or closed, to the eye it appears as though it is moving, while it actually is swapping images.

What Al E said. The API doesn't have access to animated graphic controls. It can create them, but can't control them. As I remember, creating them from the API creates them in a paused state, which basically makes them useless to the API. 

I may have missed it but is there a TokenMod API command that resets/turns off/sets to o all of the Dynamic Lighting settings for a Token?

There isn't a single setting for that, but you could definitely write a macro that sets all of them.

Yeah I have done that but I wish there had been a simpler way as it took a lot for me to get it right. Thanks again for TokenMod.

On a side question. I noticed that Token Marker have a different ID# in each game - even if the exact same token marker. Is there a way to get that ID# number using a macro and the name of the token marker?

Mike W. said:

If you just need the name and ID of a token marker (or of a bunch of token markers), Fetch + ZeroFrame can output that for you. Just assign the ones in question to a token, select the token, and then run:

!The selected token has these markers assigned: @(selected.markers){&simple}

You can also open the help handout for token-mod. It will list all of the installed token markers in a big block.

Ah! I had forgotten about that! That's probably simpler.

Until certain... other tools... become available...?

No. Probably not. This will still be simpler.

But we WILL have lasers.

...

...No? That's a 'no' on the "la-zors"?

Honestly, what do I even pay you people for?

What I was hoping to do was write a macro, using Token Mod commands, to call a Token Marker by name, then get is ID so it can be set to to a token. Thus to be generic enough to use in any game that has the same Token Markers. This wihout having to use the handout, which I have already done, for each and every game.

Thanks for the help on this.

You can just use the name without the tag on TokenMod, so long as it's unique.  So, for this:

You can just do this:

!token-mod --set statusmarkers|+mountains

If the name has a space, like this:

You'll need to use the tag version though:

!token-mod --set statusmarkers|+Eye_Balls::2591986

Great, I will give this a try,

Thanks again The Aaron

Greetings, and thank you for this script!

I was wondering if anyone had an idea for how I could use it to roll a token's hp. I've gotten it to roll current hp by using:

!token-mod {{
--set bar3_value|[[@{selected|npc_hpformula}]]
}}

This is fine, however I have to edit the token to add it's max HPas the same number in order for the "health bar" to look right for my players. My first assumption was to try:

!token-mod {{
--set bar3_value|[[@{selected|npc_hpformula}]]
--set bar3_max|@{selected|bar3_value}
}}

But this seems to not work, even if I wrap it in square brackets. Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks so much for any help!

!token-mod --set bar1_max|[[@{selected|npc_hpformula}]]

If you use just bar3, it will set the current and max value to the same number:

!token-mod {{
--set bar3|[[@{selected|npc_hpformula}]]
}}

Much love, both of you!

Thank you!

I've recently updated the TokenMod wiki page with more example, along with dedicating a section for different methods of Token Selection: https://wiki.roll20.net/TokenMod#Token_Selection

I've another question! Is it possible to use the updated script:

!token-mod {{
--set bar3|[[@{selected|npc_hpformula}]]
}}

To randomize a whole group's HP? Right now, if I have multiple creatures selected, even if they are associated with different characters, one formula is chosen and rolled, and that result is applied to every token selected. Is it possible to make it roll a unique value for each token selected?

Thanks for your time!

You could use Timmaugh's SelectManager script to apply the same process to all selected tokens (instead of the same value). I'm not super proficient with SelectManger, but I believe it would just require adding !forselected before your current TokenMod call (and removing the ! from the TokenMod call):

!forselected token-mod {{
--set bar3|[[@{selected|npc_hpformula}]]
}}

Or on a single line:

!forselected token-mod --set bar3|[[@{selected|npc_hpformula}]]

So, the other thing you'll have to do to that command line is "defer" the inline roll. Without getting into the weeds of the timing, you have to "hide" the inline roll while Roll20 is dealing with the initial line, then expose it for each roll/token in turn. That would make the line look like this:

!forselected(^) token-mod --set bar3|[^[^@{selected|npc_hpformula}^]^]

Select a bunch of tokens, run this, and you should get individualized results for each.

So is it my understanding that token-mod can work with any marker set?  I thought it was limited to a couple of predefined ones.

No, I use all custom markers (that I created and uploaded) in my games, and TokenMod uses them just fine as long as libTokenMarkers is installed.

If you use the VTT Enhancement suite (https://discord.com/channels/495906673446092800/495907770844053514) you can just use the 'Hit Dice' function (context menu) there. It provides lot more functions, but for that it is the easiest way I guess.

Hi,

I discovered an issue while using dynimic lighting

basic setup is token dropped with vision OFF but configured with night vision ON with dimming NV effect and 5meters size

i have a macro which regroup many vision macro but the main one i use is to toggle vision ON :

!token-mod --set bright_vision|1

when i do that, i get vision, i get night vision, but my problem is, i get the "dynamic memory vision" equal to night vision

even when i do this macro :

!token-mod --set bright_vision|1 night_vision|1 night_vision_distance|5 night_vision_effect|dimming|0

result is the same

with token_mod (or any script maybe ?) i got "holes" corresponding to my NV distance where i drop the token:

meanwhile, when i drop the token, and turn on vision manually, i see the night vision already toggled on, and the "dynamic memory vision" as i called previously is correctly equal to my vision + night vision (i dropped it onlt 2 times diagonally, trying toi replicate the main position)

is there a way to fix that ?

thanks for your script anyway, its immensely usefull for a lot of tasks, i use it a lot !

have a good day

I've seen the same thing and the only work around I have found it is open the token and turn vision off then back on again.  I don't think it is an issue with Token Mod specifically.

I also encountered the problem and think it is a roll20 problem. Funny though that it happens not all the time.

yeah that's what i thought, but opening every sheet and doing it manually is a pain in the a** when you change page and let player drop their token but want to control where/when they can start to see
with this problem you have to prepare everything or lose some minutes

is there any chance roll20 devs could investigate into that ? i'm pretty new on the forums so i don't know how/where we could contact them about this matter if it's not related to the script, as i feel like that about this problem.

Sorry for the late response, I was without internet for a day. 

As others have mentioned, this is a Roll20 bug. I bring it up to the devs every month or so. I know they are interested in fixing it, and there is a renewed focus on the API lately. Here's hoping!

Ok, thanks a lot for you answer, and work globally !

Fingers crossed during the time :)

Is there a way to set bar visibility via tokenmod?

David B. said:

Yeah, it is in the help handout.  I recommend popping that out in another window so you can use the browser control + F to find what you want.  It looks like those commands were the second in the list when I put "bar" in as the search term.

Hello everyone! I was looking through the roll20 documentation about tooltips and saw that through APIs it si possible to display the current status of a token (half-health, ecc.) and couldn't help but wonder if there was a way to do it using TokenMod.
I'm not the most API savvy person, so apologies if it's an obvius question, and thanks to anyone that will help!

The example on the roll20 documentation:
https://wiki.roll20.net/images/2/2c/Tooltip-example-dec2021.gif

You can set the tooltip:

!token-mod --on show_tooltip --set tooltip|"some text you want displayed"

which is what you're seeing in that image.  Automating getting various data in there would require a specific script.

Or a little metamancery. =D

APILogic can give you conditional checks, or Muler can give you static-access table. Then you'd put those constructs right in the Token-Mod line, and a single macro would give you the proper tooltip output, no matter the status of the token.

I've left a lot of examples around the site, but I can provide another, if you think this approach would be helpful.

I see so I'll need something on top of Token Mod, that's exactly what I was unsure of, thank you very much!

If you could be so kind as to share it, it would be greatly appreciated, than you!

So, my guess is that as the token's hti point bar changes, you'd like certain updates to show up in the tooltip?  That would likely be a whole other script, but could probably be done with some Tim Metascript magic.  I'd suggest starting a new thread with the explicit ask for what you want, and Tim or I or someone else will solve it for you. =D  I have several little scripts that mark tokens as bloodied (half health) and similar, which could be extended to give annotations in the tooltips pretty easily.  Feel free to link the other thread here for continuity. =D

Yes, what I would like to achieve is something that tells my players when their friends or enemies are wounded, bloodied or dying, you hit the nail right on the head.
