EDIT: If you're looking for v2, check a few posts down . Read this first though, so you know what I'm talking about there :) So, I finally decided to upgrade to Mentor and check this API thing out. Yikes, this is fun! We've been playing Dragon Age RPG lately, and since I've heard that the battles are exaggerately bloody in the video game, I decided to make a blood splatter script (and attach it to damage dealing macros). It worked out pretty swell, and it was surprisingly quick to hack together. The hardest part was finding good blood splatter images. I figured someone else might find this fun, and maybe even help me improve it someway. So, enjoy: Here it is in action Usage: !splatter @{target|token_id} Script: // See: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/733277/api-fire" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/733277/api-fire</a>...

var oldCreateObj = createObj;
createObj = function () {
var obj = oldCreateObj.apply(this, arguments);
if (obj && !obj.fbpath) {
obj.fbpath = obj.changed._fbpath.replace(/([^\/]*\/){4}/, "/");
}
return obj;
};
}());

Edit 1 Notice that you must setup the bloodUrls variable yourself. I used the ones from this marketplace item (there's two blood splatters in there, they work pretty well), and because it's not free I didn't retain the urls to the images in my library (I don't even know if someone else's campaign could use resources in my library...).
