Player Command: /emas... for multiple characters.

My suggestion is simple, allow players to use the /emas command to allow players who use multiple characters (Such as a character and their cohort, in D&D) to activate token actions as the individual characters. This will avoid the players needing to swap who they are (in the "As:" dropdown menu) every time they need to make an action. Currently the command is GM use only, and it allows the gm to act in character, and I assume is one of the more used commands (Knowing the number of times our GM talks as our enemies/allies).. I suggest either make a setting for the players, or if its easier, do something like "/eas" or "/emas1" where 1 is the first person in the dropdown menu. Or you could have "/emasNAME" and do a check to see if the name matches with allowed player names.

This has been discussed a few times. Certainly, you can do something similar via the API. I actually wrote a little snippet for just that. (In this case, we were working with the image, but you get the idea) on("chat:message", function (msg) { if (msg.type !== "api") { return; } var parts=msg.content.split(' '); var command = parts[0]; if (command === "!as") { var character_name = parts[1]; var characters=findObjs({ type: 'character', name: character_name }, {caseInsensitive: true}); if(characters.length) { var saying = _.rest(parts,2).join(' '), char = characters[0], imgpart = ''; if (char.get('avatar')) { imgpart='<img style="' +'width: 28px;' +'" src="'+char.get('avatar')+'">'; } sendChat("character|"+char.id, '/direct <div>'+imgpart+' '+saying+'</div>'); } else { log("!as -- couldn't find character named '"+character_name+"'!"); } } });

More chat options for players, please . You're not the first person to ask. =)

I would like to add my vote to this request.
