Missing LibProperties functions

Post by aranginor »

It would be nice to for LibProperties to have the same functions as token properties. Examples, hasLibProperty, isLibPropertyEmpty, resetLibProperty, etc...

Well, with MT 2.0 coming those won't be necessary. Also, you can get around those limitations now one way or the other. The least sophisticated would be to change the map, make your changes and change map back. The result is just a flicker of the MapTool screen rather than a full reload of the maps.

Can you expand on this statement?

All tokens will be globally accessible.

Is that the only use case for lib tokens? Can a macro on a non-lib token be accessed by another token?

Still a WIP but the idea is to have the data unrelated to the stamp where you can have multiple tokens pointing to same data.
