defineFunction () and Chat Output

[ladyathena]

I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot more of me on here over the next few months so I'll apologize in advance: I'll have noob questions.

Here's my first:
I'm just creating macro buttons that change the player visibility on the selected token. Handy.

Code: Select all

[setVisible(0)]

and

Code: Select all

[setVisible(1)]

These do the trick, obviously, but I want to stop the chat output. I've read that defineFunction() might do this.

Code: Select all

defineFunction("visibility", "setVisible(0)", "ignoreOutput=true")

This is the best I could come up with on my own and it's not working. Where am I going wrong?

I'm thinking it might be with the function name of "visibility" because *cringe* I just slapped it in there. It's not related to anything else other than that's what I chose to put in there. I couldn't figure out anything else to do about it.

If i understand you right, you might be looking for

Code: Select all

[h:setVisible()]

The H-Roll Option disables the output.

Ah, I did try that but then the token icon still pops up in the chat window, there's just nothing that gets said. So, yes, it hides the 1 or the 0 but the token is popping up like it's being impersonated in chat, sans a message.

At the end of the macro, put:

Code: Select all

[h:abort(0)]
 

That will abort further processing and suppress output (it will, however, flip the visibility before it aborts).

[ladyathena]

Code: Select all

[h:abort(0)]
 

Cha-ching! Did the trick. Thanks.
