[Help] Multi-sided token based on attribute

Hello, I'm new to coding, but having played with a few API scripts for various games (Blades in the Dark/SW FFG) I wanted to try my hand at coding something simple (hopefully) to fit my own needs. However, I wanted to ensure the idea was possible in the first place. I'm currently playing a Star Wars FFG game, and I'd like to make a script for multi-sided token linked to attributes. Hull Trauma: I'd like the make a token for the ship that switches between Green (0%) and Red (50%) to show how damaged the enemy is. The max value of Hull Trauma changes constantly based on the type of ship and so on, so I can't just put an arbitrary value to trigger the switch. Is this possible?

yes, this is possible.

Swapping out the image is certainly something you could do.  You might find it easier to have a greyscale token and use the tint to change it from green to red.
Doing that would work poorly with the transparency though.

I don't think it has any issues with transparency, but you might not get as vivid a result as you want. Anyway, just an option to be aware of. =D
Oh, well that works definitely better than I thought. I don't know why, but I had this memory of the tint option just looking atrocious with tokens and haven't used it since!
