!token-mod Question: Duplicating Tokens

Is it possible to duplicate a token using existing functionality in Token-Mod or would I have to write a new API script just to do this? I have an NPC who has an ability to make a duplicate of themselves and I'm trying to figure out how to handle it in a macro that a duplicate token just appears in an adjacent square.

Look for the [Summon] Script. Caveat: It's a little quirky, but maybe you've got the chops to fix it. It allows you to summon a token to the VTT by name, but it creates the token, instead of pulling it, so some of the settings don't come in properly. I had problems with it before I realized what was going on. It's definitely got potential.

I usually just copy/paste the token. =D

Can a player do that?

No, but they can drag their token out of the Journal again.  Using King's Summon Script is probably a good place to start, though it doesn't work on MarketPlace assets. =( (API Limitation)

The Aaron said: No, but they can drag their token out of the Journal again.  Using King's Summon Script is probably a good place to start, though it doesn't work on MarketPlace assets. =( (API Limitation) That's fine. I already make extensive use of !token-mod to change imgsrc of tokens (lots of polymorphing and werecreatures in my game) and the tokens I want to duplicate are all the ones I already added to my library. I know it's a simple matter to just copy paste it but I want to automate it (just like I want to automate everything =P) and use VFX/SFX alongside the duplicate spawning Either of you have a link to that Summon script?

I put something together quick and simple. You just run the command passing it a Token ID and it will make a duplicate of the token in all respects (pretty sure I didn't miss anything) Optionally you can tag "--rep" to the end of the command to make both tokens represent the same sheet. By default the copy doesn't represent a sheet at all. Example: !duplicate @{selected|token_id} !duplicate @{selected|token_id} --rep Here it is: /* duplicateToken v0.2.8 By: Kastion Profile: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/users/3173313/kastion" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/users/3173313/kastion</a> Syntax: !duplicate [TokenID] [...optional: --rep] */ on('ready', function() { log("-=&gt; Duplicate Script Loaded - (v0.2.8 - Last Edited by Kastion [July 23rd 2018]) &lt;=-"); on('chat:message', function(msg) { if (msg.type == "api" &amp;&amp; msg.content.indexOf("!duplicate") !== -1) { var token_id = msg.content.split(' ')[1]; var c = getObj('graphic',token_id); if(c) { var reps = ""; if (msg.content.indexOf("--rep") !== -1) reps = c.get('represents'); var characterImage = c.get('imgsrc'); characterImage = characterImage.replace("med","thumb"); characterImage = characterImage.replace("max","thumb"); var obj = createObj("graphic", { _pageid: c.get('_pageid'), layer: "objects", represents: reps, imgsrc: characterImage, width: 70, height: 70, top: c.get('top'), left: c.get('left')+70, bar1_value: c.get('bar1_value'), bar1_max: c.get('bar1_max'), bar2_value: c.get('bar2_value'), bar2_max: c.get('bar2_max'), bar3_value: c.get('bar3_value'), bar3_max: c.get('bar3_max'), showname: c.get('showname'), showplayers_name: c.get('showplayers_name'), showplayers_bar1: c.get('showplayers_bar1'), showplayers_bar2: c.get('showplayers_bar2'), showplayers_bar3: c.get('showplayers_bar3'), name: c.get('name') }); if (obj) toFront(obj); } else { sendChat('Duplicate', '/w gm No token found with the specific ID.'); } } &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; }) }); When I have more time I'll run through King's Summon script again. If it has been abandoned (is that the case?) I might take it over and refine it. Being able to use a command to summon a group of tokens that all represent journal entries seems like something worthwhile - especially when rolling and running random encounters.

I used to use it for summoning the party. Easier that dragging out 4-5 tokens.

You can simplify this with a little trick to assure that you get all the properties: /* duplicateToken v0.2.8 By: Kastion Profile: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/users/3173313/kastion" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/users/3173313/kastion</a> Syntax: !duplicate [TokenID] [...optional: --rep] */ on('ready', function() { log("-=&gt; Duplicate Script Loaded - (v0.2.8 - Last Edited by Kastion [July 23rd 2018]) &lt;=-"); on('chat:message', function(msg) { if (msg.type == "api" &amp;&amp; msg.content.indexOf("!duplicate") !== -1) { const c = getObj('graphic',msg.content.split(/\s+/)[1]); if(c) { let props = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(c)); props.left += props.width; props.represents = (/\s+--rep\b/.test(msg.content) ? props.represents : ''); props.imgsrc = props.imgsrc.replace(/med|max/,'thumb'); const obj = createObj("graphic", props); if (obj) toFront(obj); } else { sendChat('Duplicate', '/w gm No token found with the specific ID.'); } } }); });

No worries.&nbsp; Even knowing javascript, that's not an obvious leap.&nbsp; It takes advantage of some implementation details of Roll20 Objects that are not easily apparent. =D
