Getting the GM Notes of the selected token in a macro

February 08 (4 years ago)

Edited February 08 (4 years ago)

Hello,


I would like to get the GM notes content of the selected Token within a macro. Is it possible ?

With @{selected|bar1}, I got the bar value, with @{selected|token_name}, I got the token's name. What about GM Notes ?

I've tried @{selected|gmnotes} without success :(


Thanks in advance.

The only way to get the GM Notes is with an API script (Pro subscription required). There's a script that does this already called SuperNotes.

My guess the reason for this is that attribute calls primarily get text or numerical data, while GM notes can hold HTML, pictures, styled text and so forth. That's beyond the call of duty for a macro.

Yeah, GM notes, default tokens, bios (maybe some other things) are stored as blobs, not strings, and need certain functions to make them available in a useful way. If you could find a way to grab the value with a macro, you'd get a string of numbers which wouldn't be much good.
