TokenMod API for altering and REaltering the Armor Class

Hi,

Scenario

I am using a PowerCard Macro for a Condition....for example "Frightened". With this condition, the target looses -1 on the AC. I have two macros....one for "frightening on" and one for "frightening off".

The AC is displayed in bar 2

Issue:

In the "on" macro, i have this line:

!token-mod --set bar2_value|[[ (@{selected|armor_class}-1) ]]

It works and subtracts 1 from the AC......so far so good/wrong :-)

With this line, it "defines" a new AC...so when i am using the "off" macro with this line:

!token-mod --set bar2_value|[[ (@{selected|armor_class}-0) ]]

It does nothing because of the "new defined" AC from the first macro. Of course....i can add +1 again.....but is there anyway to "keep the original AC" and to do the temporary decrease / increase from the condition?

Hopefully you understand what i am trying to say :-)

Sounds like you have the AC bar linked to the stat on the character. Changing one changes the other. You'd need to unlink those to prevent it from modifying the attribute. 

Yes....that is correct. But if i unlink it, i can't use the same macro for a PC with a linked sheet and a monster/npc without a sheet. So there is no solution for this?

EDIT: Perhaps i can "unlink and set new value" in the "condition ON" macro......and in the "condition OFF" macro i link it again with the original value from the sheet? If this will work.....how can i tell TokenMod to do it? :-)

Should be:

!token-mod --set bar2_link| bar2_value|[[ (@{selected|armor_class}-1) ]]

And:

!token-mod --set bar2_link|armor_class

Perfect !!!!!! Thank you very much for the quick help !!!! TokenMod is really cool (and with your help, it is even usable for noobs like me)!

=D. No problem!
