[Script] New to API GM Note

Hello all, I am trying to get the GM Note API script to work with my campaign. The script is from this post <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5047876/script-request-gm-notes-on-chat" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5047876/script-request-gm-notes-on-chat</a>, and it's function should allow me to click on a hidden token and then type !gmnote to receive a whispered chat message sent only to the GM. To my understanding I have added the API script to the game and set a macro that types !gmnote. When I click on this macro I should get a whispered message containing the GM Notes from the token correct? However when I use the macro all I recieve is a message that says the token's name but not the text from the gm notes section. I am really new to scripts and API so I have a feeling I am just not getting it. Any help would be appreciated. Also my interest in this came about from watching a GM run Curse of Strahd on youtube. In the video here <a href="https://youtu.be/YQxiV2teS9A?t=28m48s" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/YQxiV2teS9A?t=28m48s</a> the GM uses a Macro called Utility Menu. I am sure this is an API as well, and if anyone has a link to it this seems really useful. Of course it also seems like something that is really advanced for me, but I would still like to try and mess around with it. Thanks for any help in advance!

I believe it’s !gmnote and not !gmnotes.&nbsp;

I edited the macro to !gmnote without the S and still have the same issue.

The Aaron, Would that script only work with a 5E-Shaped sheet?&nbsp; I'm seeing a &amp;{template:5e-shaped} in Line 10.

@MSG Thank you! That was my problem. Because I am using the OLG and not the 5e shaped character sheet I had to change the template to&nbsp; &nbsp;&amp;{template:traits}

Ah!&nbsp; Good catch MSG! There are several versions of that script running about.&nbsp; Here's my current version.&nbsp; (I think this is using an OGL template): on('ready',()=&gt;{ const blockElements = [ 'p', 'h1', 'h2', 'h3', 'h4', 'h5', 'h6', 'ol', 'ul', 'pre', 'address', 'blockquote', 'dl', 'div', 'fieldset', 'form', 'hr', 'noscript', 'table','br' ]; const rStart=new RegExp(`&lt;\\s*(?:${blockElements.join('|')})\\b[^&gt;]*&gt;`,'ig'); const rEnd=new RegExp(`&lt;\\s*\\/\\s*(?:${blockElements.join('|')})\\b[^&gt;]*&gt;`,'ig'); const getLines = (str) =&gt; (rStart.test(str) ? str .replace(/[\n\r]+/g,' ') .replace(rStart,"\r$&amp;") .replace(rEnd,"$&amp;\r") .split(/[\n\r]+/) : str .split(/(?:[\n\r]+|&lt;br\/?&gt;)/) ) .map((s)=&gt;s.trim()) .filter((s)=&gt;s.length) ; const cmdRegex = /^!(w?)gmnote(?:-(.*))?$/i; on('chat:message',(msg) =&gt; { if('api' === msg.type &amp;&amp; cmdRegex.test(msg.content) &amp;&amp; playerIsGM(msg.playerid) ){ let match=msg.content.match(cmdRegex), output = match[1].length ? '/w gm ' : '', regex; if(match[2]){ regex = new RegExp(`^${match[2]}`,'i'); } _.chain(msg.selected) .map( s =&gt; getObj('graphic',s._id)) .reject(_.isUndefined) .reject((o)=&gt;o.get('gmnotes').length===0) .each( o =&gt; { if(regex){ let lines = _.filter( getLines(unescape(o.get('gmnotes'))), (l) =&gt; regex.test(l.replace(/&lt;[^&gt;]*&gt;/g,'')) ).join('&lt;br&gt;'); sendChat(o.get('name'), `${output}${lines}`); } else { sendChat(o.get('name'), `${output} &amp;{template:desc}}{{desc=${unescape(o.get('gmnotes')).replace(/(?:[\n\r]+|&lt;br\/?&gt;)/g,'&lt;br&gt;')} }}`); } }); } }); });

@The Aaron Thank you! That works perfectly.

HI Aaron: I use the GMNotes template in combination with your Bump script. This allows me to have hidden tokens on the map and still interact with the token. I can then send GMNotes to the Chat window. I was using an older script and it seemed to work fine. Now I have used the one below and I can't seem to get the GMNOTEs to send to the chat if the token is "bumped" hidden. If i selecct the token and ensure it is on the Token Layer the GMNOTES script worked fine.&nbsp; Thoughts ? The Aaron said: Ah!&nbsp; Good catch MSG!

Hmm.. Probably Bump is not keeping the gmnotes field in sync.&nbsp; If you go to Bump and change this: mirroredProps = [ 'name', 'left', 'top', 'width', 'height', 'rotation', 'flipv', 'fliph', 'bar1_value', 'bar1_max', 'bar2_value', 'bar2_max', 'bar3_value', 'bar3_max', 'tint_color', 'lastmove', 'represents','bar1_link','bar2_link','bar3_link' ], to this: mirroredProps = [ 'name', 'left', 'top', 'width', 'height', 'rotation', 'flipv', 'fliph', 'bar1_value', 'bar1_max', 'bar2_value', 'bar2_max', 'bar3_value', 'bar3_max', 'tint_color', 'lastmove', 'represents','bar1_link','bar2_link','bar3_link' , 'gmnotes' ], It should work on newly bumped or edited tokens.&nbsp; Let me know if that works and I'll make the patch to the published version as well.

That fixed it. Thanks you're the man!!&nbsp; The Aaron said: Hmm..

Great!&nbsp; I'll get that in the official Bump script.
