Token/Journal linked Macros w/macro buttons on the selected token

Basically instead of having 1 giant bar of a bazillion macros, you can link the macro you create to a journal entry and any token put on the map will have a macro button available when it becomes selected. Similar to how the bubbles and status icon appear, only below it would be the customize macro button or something similar.

This would could potentially save hours of setup time for the GM as well as provide flavor to the gaming session and any future session that uses the same token/journal entry.

That is already included. Edit the macro on the journal and click the Show as Token Action button.

Ok, so how do I not have it on the giant list of macros on the macro bar and have it on the token exclusively? Cause I don't want to search a giant list of macros to find the ones relevant to my game. I want the macro to pop up as a macro button when i select the token. Just how the bubble and status icons pop up when you select it. I see nothing for that. And if there's nothing for that then it is not included, I see an option for show as token action... but wtf does that even do and why can't i find my macros on my tokens directly, not on the giant list of macros on the already cramped macro bar.

As far as I can see you can add macros to the journal but the macro itself only appears on the giant list of macro bars, not on the token itself as a selectable button.

When you set a macro as a token action it appears on a macro list when you select the token on the top of your play area. Macros on your macro bar are listed on the bottom of the play area under the current active players, regardless of if/which token is selected.

Well, there are a couple ways to do this.
The simplest, if you have a single macro you want every token to access, is to make an actual 'macro', by which I mean one in the Settings tab.

Open settings, click the +ADD button to create a macro.

If you want the macro in the quick bar, check the boxes shown for 'in bar'. If not, don't.

When you create a new macro, or click on an existing one, a box will pop up like this:

Fill in the information you want, and make sure you select the "Show As Token Action" button the big green arrow is pointing at.

Now every token on the board will have this as a viable option!





Another way to do this is so only a specific token has this token action.
First, you create a Journal Entry and Token combination; one token that is linked to a Journal Entry as its character sheet.
Linking Tokens To Journals Wiki
Then, you set up Attributes for that character, and Abilities that link to those Attributes.
In this case, my character has an Attribute called "Stealth"; this Ability (macro) calls that number from the sheet, adds it to a d20, then outputs it to the chatbar with a note as to which token made the roll (token_name).

Again, make sure that you've checked the box named "Show As Token Action".
Save your work, and now only tokens that are linked to that journal entry will have that Token Action.

Hope that helps!
