Option for PCs to use Advanced Token Features (Flip Horizontal)

As you can see in this first image, as the GM I can flip the tokens horizontal to better visualize the direction they are facing. When I log in with a second account, PCs are not given this option.  As the GM after every turn my PCs are requesting me to flip their tokens horizontal as it appears their monster is tackling opponents with their butts. If I allow my PCs access to control and edit tokens, I don't see why they shouldn't have access to Advanced Token Features.  I believe this could be a simple fix.  Maybe an option allow PCs basic control and editing and an option for advanced control and editing.
If you create an image for each facing, you can incorporate them into a Rollable Table Token (<a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Roll_Table#Rollable_Table_Token" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Roll_Table#Rollable_Table_Token</a>). Also known as Multi-Sided Tokens. If that token is then assigned to your players, they can then choose the "side" (image) they want to use any time they like.

Thank you for the tip.&nbsp; I currently have 493 rollable tables, and I plan to increase that to nearly a thousand in the future. While I recognize your suggestion would work, it would take me upwards of ten hours to reformat all the gifs, upload them to Roll20, then insert them into the tables.&nbsp; It would also require another 500 MB of my 3 GB memory.&nbsp; All for a feature that already exists, but isn't allowed for players that aren't GMs.
After you create the multi-sided tokens, you don't need to retain the table (unless you want a custom random distribution for the various images). If you were a Pro subscriber, you could use the TokenMod API script to create multi-sided tokens without a table at all. But I do take your point about the increased use of your Storage Quota.
