Is it possible to continously rotate tokens in a macro?

Discuss macro implementations, ask for macro help (to share your creations, see User Creations, probably either Campaign Frameworks or Drop-in Resources).

Is it possible to continously rotate tokens in a macro?

Post by Madeiner »

Hi there.
I am running a shadowrun campaign and i was wondering if there was any way i could create a macro that continuosly rotates a token multiple times, back and forth, with no interaction on my part.
I would like to use this for security cameras swinging back and forth automatically on the map.

the short answer: no.

a bit longer: yes you can animate stuff in maptool but it isn't trivial and its a continuous running macro which means you can't do anything else in the mean time. The animation however is a deferred trick so that means that a limited interaction with maptool IS possible while the macro is running but it will be frustratingly slow...
