Typing as selected token?

March 13 (4 years ago)

Hi, I'm not sure whether there is already same feature or not..


I'm running MoN, which have several dozens of NPCs in one stage.

Combined with 5 PC's sheet, it is really hard whenever I select As scrolling through, just picking up with sheet names.

There are family with similar names, also sometimes there are 2 sheet for same character. Thank you very much Nyarlathotep for even more chaos!

I sometimes even spoiler enemy by mistake.


This makes me think, is there any easier way to pick the sheet I am going to speak?

It would be great I can just select it with clicking tokens that already on map, since I can just see who I am going to pick?

I can try use macro /as "NPC" too, but it won't display NPC's portrait.

I use chrome so I can try extensions if there is one.

If I understand correctly, you want to be able to speak as the selected token?

Try:

/as "@{target|token_name}" ?{Text}

I installed the Switch api script and made a shared macro to switch to the selected token, which appears as a token action. This has worked well for me, as long as I remember to make the switch before typing :)

Not exactly, since this only changes name...
