Token with Attached Text Bubble

Trying to put together a function that will create a text bubble that appears at a preset location next to a token. The text bubble is a rollable table that is populated with .png files of the text can the teleport script be utilized to drop speaking token to gmlayer - move "VOICE"token text bubble to adjacent location and then move speaking token back to object layer. "VOICE"token text bubble token calling multiple tables - spells, attack quotes, guard commands, tactics, ... anything else using bar 1,2,3 character created for "VOICE"token that carries all the attributes for text, and sound file calls to actually narrate the text bubbles. thoughts?
I think someone already made a speech bubble script.
Straight text not graphics. This is more for scripted interaction

I think you'd want to start with Stephen L's &nbsp;Stephen S' proof of concept script here: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2308881/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2308881/slug%7D</a>

This would be a cool idea for a script though. I think it's definitely something that's doable. The most difficult part would probably be figuring out how to wrap text in the speech bubbles and scale the bubbles' sizes accordingly to fit the wrapped text.

Woops, yes it is indeed. Edited to correct that.
Match the line length to the width of the paired token ... for dynamic text - or for what I am doing I have a photoshop file with bubble layer- and text layer and I export the entire file as a multipage PDF - then it gets sucked into table token graphic. The main meat of the product is to create a connection between two tokens or more - assigning next to value and keeping them together via teleport function. Not just for text bubbles - familiars, mounts, vehicles, mounted weapons, sprites ... endless other stuff - kind of similar to calling a FX but calling a token.

I want to steal this script really really badly for my NPC party helpers to have fun little catch-phrases along with their ability macros. Keep us posted on progress!

COMPANION FOLLOWING script:&nbsp;Jamie R.&nbsp; bulk of action - The bubble is NPC narration character - with scripts attached - position is changed to ride top right&nbsp; Change Token Image&nbsp;Christopher Buchholz ~// with heavy copying from, I mean use of as a Pattern, TokenMod Rollable table holds 15 different bubbles with a blank also for no text bubble. Would like to be able to trigger it from PC token positions and to be able to flop right or left side ... but I wanted to figure out if I could use existing API stuff first ... works so far. The bubble moves around with token and stays fine....

It looks like this will be a really neat script. Do you plan to deploy it to the One-Click script library when it is done?
once I have gotten it past errors
