Area of Effect Macros

Does anyone have a macro (or script I guess) that would draw the area of effect of a spell, like with a command a 30' radius shape would appear. Ideally it would adjust based on the map's scale.

try Template Generator Just started using it, party and I like it Not that hard to set up either... <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5824771/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5824771/slug%7D</a>

I can also recommend this marketplace addon pack:&nbsp; <a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/gameaddon/318/area-of-effect-template-pack" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/gameaddon/318/area-of-effect-template-pack</a> It adds journal entries that all players have access to, and should size correctly when pulled out onto a map. My groups have really been enjoying using them over the last few weeks.

There's my method , but it requires a bit more setup .

I will mention, the OP asks for something which scales to the map size. I actually scale my maps to 5-foot ones usually. The script will not scale, and instead makes templates of a certain pixel size, assuming 5-foot maps. However, that seems like a very easy fix, so maybe I'll just put it in.&nbsp; Done I kinda forgot whatever I was thinking when I made it, so there may be bugs introduced in this fix :)&nbsp; Please let me know if you find any. I've only tested it with 5 and 10 foot scale_number maps.&nbsp;

Thank you! I will try these out!

But I can't get it to do anything (except say no token selected when no token is selected).

The templates only appear on the page with the player flag.

Bast L. said: The templates only appear on the page with the player flag. Sorry, I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean that only players can use it and not for NPCs?

No, the NPCs can have them, but whoever is selected, the template shape will only appear on the page with the player flag: I think if you're on a different page, the template will still appear in the appropriate spot, but on the page with the player flag (which may or may not be large enough to see it, depending on the location of the token selected) So, to sum up, the process for using it is: Assign shapes from the imgur link in the api post linked above by BilBo 2 to the appropriate rollable table items. Go to the page with player flag. Hit the makeshape macro. Select a token to make the shape for. Click the desired shape. Also, happy to invite you to a test game to see if you like.

Yes, let me see a test game, that would be great. Thank you!

Invite sent. Alternatively, I could join your game and look for the problem.
