Impersonate function from PC token

Post by Ocuzor »

I'm trying to set up a framework for Paranoia and it requires a lot of secrecy. I'm currently trying to create a whisper function so players can secretly communicate with each other while still allowing the GM to view their messages so I can stay in the loop. I've got it working almost all the way but other players can see in the chat the PC icon and know he/she did something although they can't see the result.

I'm trying to use the impersonate function (https://wiki.rptools.info/index.php/impersonate) as a workaround so it always shows the same default token icon, that way they don't know who's doing it, but it seems that since I'm calling the macro from a PC, the chat still shows the original PC icon instead of the impersonated token.

If anybody has a fix for that or a way to allow players to whisper to each other while allowing the GM to see I'd appreciate it.

You might look at the "broadcast" macro. It should let you do what you want quite easily.

Thanks! That's pretty much what I was looking for!
