looks like an error. ill need to cgeck it.

Thank you!
This whole token "project" is a really great thing btw. That must have cost you an incredible amount of time.

I am running into another error when i try to use the teleport pads:
I named two tokens 'PadStart 1' and 'PadEnd 1'. Then i ran the 'initialize pads' macro which seemed to have worked fine. It tells me that it has found two tokens named 'PadStart 1' and 'PadEnd 1'. When i move another token on one of the pad-tokens nothing happens except for an error message like this:
   Invalid condition in IF(getState(invisState, meTok)) roll option.       Statement options (if any): h,if(getState(invisState, meTok)), CODE       Statement Body (first 200 characters): { [seeingToks = getTokenNames("json", json.set("{}","setStates", json.append("", seeInvisState)))] [purgingToks = getTokenNames(

It seems like I did some stupid mistake in setting up the tokens as I am sure you tested out the basic functionality (as is seen in your youtube video)... Could it be the maptool version i am using? (maptool - 1.4.1.7)

[wolph42]

Nah you didnt i forgot a check in the code for when the invisibility state is not present...

[Holladerwaldelf]

so if my tokens have a state called 'invisState' it should work?

[wolph42]

no alas not. invisState is a variable containing the actual name of the state. You can check in te BoT settings what the actual names are. In the mean time I'm debugging these issues

[wolph42]

ok fixed the issues. You can redownload the onTokenmove rptok file of the summontoken issue.

As for the invisibility...its *kind* of a newbie issue...In lib:eventMacro on default 'invisibility' is turned on, you should turn this off if you're not using it (and no states are defined).
I've updated the lib:eventmacros so its turned off for future sue, but its far easier for you to simple turn it off in the settings.

Thank you for the reports

[Holladerwaldelf]

redownload from this thread or from somewhere else?
i redownloaded, deleted the old token, dragged the new token in my campaign, reloaded the campaign and am getting the same error message (Undefined function: bot_summonToken) when i try to use the summon token macro.
i also unchecked 'invisibility' in the settings, now i do not get any error but also nothing else happens, the token is not teleported...
what am i doing wrong?

[wolph42]

apologies, i forgot that my dropbox is cleaning up, will probably take a couple of hours. Its in the share folder it just has to sync. Try again in a couple of hours.

[Holladerwaldelf]

Thank you! Now the summon token macro is working. Very Useful!!!
Teleporting from one pad to another does not work though. No error message after i unchecked 'invisibility' in the settings but also no teleporting... Is that supposed to work?

[wolph42]

thats weird I tested it on my side and it worked (after the update, but thats irrelevant). can you share the campaign file, then ill have a look (you can use e.g dropbox to share).

You *did* initialize the map right? And 'special pads' is checked in the toggles tab of the settings?

[Holladerwaldelf]

Here is the campaign file.
i think i initialized correctly, the window tells me that it found the two pads. i also checked 'special pads'.
I tried moving the pad-tokens to the object layer but that did not make any difference.

[wolph42]

ok checked it. You're a special case, you're using a gridless map and the BoT is optimized for snap-to-square-grid. So basically you're using the opposite of what its build for. Nonetheless most things should work (but very likely a couple of things won't work).

All the pad functions work with moveOn, MoveOff, MoveOver, etc events (5 in total). When you have a gridded map its really easy to determine whether a token was on the 'same' coordinate of a pad during its travel (or start or end). With a gridless map not so much. I don't know how MT handles moveOverToken in this particular case (e.g. overlapping pixels? Only Up-Left corner?) which means you have to play with it a bit.

tl;dnr: if you make the pads (significantly) bigger it will work.

[Holladerwaldelf]

Thank you for the help.
I tried it with a map with grid and tokens that snap to the grid. Now they are teleported.

[wolph42]

thats the other way. As I said: it works on gridless as well (tested it) but your teleport-pads need to be big(ger) enough for them to 'detect' a token moving over them.

But on the whole, if you're planning to use more BoT functions you're better of on a grid.

[Holladerwaldelf]

i played around with the pad-token-size on a gridless map. but no matter how big i make the grid-tokens the teleport does not happen.
