Object info from Token layer.

[Full Bleed]

Is there some way to retrieve an object's ID, Name, or Image when clicking on it from the token layer?

Use Case: I can use onChangeSelection to dynamically update my GM control sheet with regard to what token I've currently got selected. But when it comes to objects I can't modify them easily without switching to their layer or creating a separate list on my control sheet for objects. MT knows I'm clicking on an object from the token layer (because it displays the notes)... I'd like it treat it as "selected" or "current" when clicked on (from the token layer), too.

Would this be (or is it) possible?

You might want to pile in to ensure the functionality you want is included.

Thanks for the links. Before I pushed for a FREQ I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing some way to do what I was trying to do with the current functionality.

Back to wrangling with this...

So, there must be some kind of onObjectSelection event in the MT code since it does very specific things (shows notes and token image) on click.

Is there anyway to make that event accessible like onTokenChange? I know creating new events is probably a lot of work... but this has to already exist.


Update Question: Is there some way to switch the active layer with a macro? Like when you click on an object through the Map Explorer it goes to the object AND switches to the Object layer.
