Dice roller can access object properties or token properties

[AbsolutZer0]

One of the most useful features I can think of is allowing the dice roller module to access variables stored on a token.


example;

A token has the following properties.

ATTACK: +1
DEFENSE: +2
DAMAGE: 2d6

now this feature would allow me to input these variables directly into a macro or dice roll simply by addressing the tokens properties in two ways.

First way: You click the token and type in the chat window (or right click and run the macro on the token.) The macro would look like this.

Code: Select all

/roll 1d6+%token.attack

%token = Currently selected token.
attack = the value of the property ATTACK


The second way would be like above but addressing the token name externally;

Code: Select all

/roll 1d6+%Unit_1.attack

Thats just my input, I'm sure you get alot.

Actually you can do that already on token macros, just put in the name of the token property (note that the casing has to be the same right now)

What do you mean by casing?


BTW: Just tested it and it DOES work, it didn't work before because it had a space in it.

What do you mean by casing?

Strength and strength are both different properties. Just make sure you're using the correct case (or think capitalization) when referencing properties or it wont work.

Oh yah, I know that from my own programming experience.
he he Linux is all about Case Sensitive.

/Root
/root

lol

BTW it suddenly quit working, it works inside the token macro (a macro in the token I mean) but it quit working externally... like from the chat bar.

It will only work within chat if you're impersonating a token - otherwise it doesn't know where to pull the value from. So first impersonate the token (right click the token, impersonate) and then it should work just fine.
