Rest token owner to "All Players" ?

[Ditto]

I'm messing with token ownership, and need to reset ownership back to "All Players', but finding this harder than it should be.

I found this thread:

http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php ... 3&start=15

which talks about the feature "should be there - but isn't" ... that was about 6 years ago ... is the feature hidden in there anywhere by now ?

If not, is there any way to do it via setProperty or such ??

I think I recall recent talks of doing this. I would imagine the function would be called Wiki: setOwnedByAll(), but that's not in the wiki. What you can do is getAllPlayerNames("json") and set the token's ownership with setOwner(json).

Code: Select all

[H: allPlayers = getAllPlayerNames("json")]
[H: setOwner(allPlayers,tokenId)]

yeah, I'm doing that for now ... mostly works fine for my purposes .. but as you know, "not the same"

Thanks!
(this works well enough for me at this time)

Since it was brought up... I wanted to ask how come I could never get the "all players" ownership to work (unless every single player's checkbox was marked).
It never worked for me in the past, still not on MapTool 1.4.04.
Is there some option on the server that I'm doing wrong?

The all players checkbox doesn't really give players ownership, just allows them to edit the token. So, the isOwner or whatever doesn't work unless the player name is checked. So, I usually check for the player and if the all players is checked to determine ownership.

Is that intentional? I mean, I always thought it didn't give actual ownership because it was bugged, and also everyone I played with who was involved with ownerships thought the same.
If it's intentional, its at least misleading.
