SetProperty, what am I doing wrong?

[Adurna]

Hi!

I'm trying to create a macro to change one token, like with a polymorph effect, so I need to change size and stats.

So far I managed to get it to change back and forth size and the token image, however I can't seem to have the macro set new properties.


At first I thought the macro got confused because I was trying with something like

Code: Select all

getproperty(Str, tokenX)
setproperty(Str, Str)

so I changed, and decided to create a library token and store the new form properties there.

But still, I can access the property, because when I tested the macro was able to output them, but I can't manage to actually change it.

Code: Select all

[h: setSize("Large")]

[h: getImage('Image:Bezekira')]

[h: setTokenImage("Image:Bezekira")]


[h: getLibProperty("NewStr", "Lib:Bezekira")]
[r: getLibProperty("NewStr", "Lib:Bezekira")]

[h: setProperty(Str, "NewStr")]

This is what I have so far, except the set property doesn't seem to work. The thing is, I'm not getting an error or anything so I really don't know what's wrong.

One thing is that the property you're setting needs to be in quotes.

From the Wiki: setProperty() wiki:

Code: Select all

[h: setProperty("Health", 10)]

Uh, right.

However, still not working with the quotes

Tho at least now there is an error, so yay!

Code: Select all

[h: setSize("Large")]

[h: getImage('Image:Bezekira')]

[h: setTokenImage("Image:Bezekira")]


[h: getLibProperty("NewStr", "Lib:Bezekira")]
[r: getLibProperty("NewStr", "Lib:Bezekira")]



[h: setProperty("Str", NewStr)]

It now asks a value for NewStr.

If I do put quotes around NewStr the property does change, to NewStr. As in the letters and not the number. So it works except it doesn't understand NewStr is that little number it got from getlibproperty.

Because you've not set the value.

You need to:

Code: Select all

[h: newStr = getLibProperty("NewStr", "Lib:Bezekira")]
[h: setProperty("Str", newStr)] 

[Adurna]

It Works!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It wasn't clear on the wiki page that I had to do that

Yeah... there could certainly be better examples on that page.
