[5e OGL] I want all NPC Rolls to be Whisper Only, but not PC ones

I purchased the monster manual. When I quickly grab a monster out of the manual I have to remember to go into that monsters settings and hit whisper rolls to GM. Is there a default setting somewhere where I don't have to remember to do this. I want ALL NPC rolls to be whisper only. I want all PC rolls to default to how roll20 comes out of the box. My players like seeing each others roll and cheering when they see a friendly nat 20. So would like to keep that on but still hide the NPC GM rolls.
I haven't been able to find a default setting for that, so what I did as a workaround is made a macro for /talktomyself.  I just hit that on and my players can't see my rolls, but they can see each others.  If I need to let them see my rolls or typing, I hit it again and it sets it back to normal.

Try this script. It should work, unless I made a typo. Will set newly-created characters to whisper to GM. on('ready', function() {   on('add:character', function(character) {     createObj('attribute', {       name: 'wtype', current: '/w GM ', characterid: character.id     });   }); });
Thanks both of those techniques work really well!

I'm glad you've found solutions that work for you, but to answer your initial question: Allen H. said: I purchased the monster manual. When I quickly grab a monster out of the manual I have to remember to go into that monsters settings and hit whisper rolls to GM. Is there a default setting somewhere where I don't have to remember to do this. Yes; the 5th Edition OGL by Roll20 sheet offers this as a Character Sheet Default Setting . I would toggle on Always Whisper Rolls, and then manually set the PC sheets to Never Whisper Rolls .
