Revision as of 19:10, 15 June 2020

This is about a Roll20 feature exclusive to Pro-subscribers (and often to players in a Game created by a Pro-subscriber). If you'd like to use this feature, consider upgrading your account.

The API Script Index is a listing of community-contributed API scripts that are available for use on Roll20. If you're interested in contributing to the Roll20 API Community Scripts please visit the API GitHub Repository and follow the instructions in the README.md file at the bottom of the page.

Scripts By Category

General Purpose Scripts

If your script incorporates specific game system rules, consider listing the script under that game system instead of one of these general purpose categories.

Combat Scripts

Combat scripts assist in making combat flow more easily. This can mean anything from automatically handling initiative to automating exchanges between combatants.

• Group Initiative -- Adds the selected tokens to the turn order after rolling their initiative + configurable data.
• Initiative Tracker -- Round counter and status effect manager with optional announcements to chat.
• Random Turnorder -- Randomly assigns a turn to selected tokens.
• TrackerJacker -- Graphical turnorder tracker, as well as status/condition marker tracking
• Turn Marker -- Round counter and a moving marker that shows whose turn it is.
• Critical -- Quick method of determining the outcome of a critical hit.
• Fumbler -- Quick method of determining the outcome of a fumble.

Tokens - Conditions / Status / Health

Tokens are used to represent player characters as well as non-player characters. Naturally, both occasionally get punched around a bit. Scripts in this category deal with the changing conditions of tokens, often but not necessarily as a result of combat.

• Blood And Honor -- Automatic blood spatter, pooling and trail effects
• Bloodied and Dead Status Markers -- Automatic bloodied and down icons for HP tracking
• Conditions and Status Tracker -- Tracks the status of tokens and announces them as the duration passes.
• Flight -- Mark how high tokens are flying
• Flip Tokens -- Flip graphics horizontally and/or vertically
• Mark -- Places a numbered Marker under tokens, clears on turn change/close, and page change.
• Marking Conditions -- Set status markers on targeted on individual tokens
• Temp HP and Status -- Temp hit point manager and bloodied/dying/dead status markers.
• Toggle Status -- Toggle status marker on/off, and update character attribute to match

Tokens - Movement, Rotation, and Size

Scripts which are triggered by or change the location of tokens should generally be placed in this category.

• Auto Teleporting and Chat Based Teleporting -- Teleporting based on text commands or token locations.
• Change Token Image -- Changes displayed image for tokens based on rollable table.
• Collision Detection -- Handles collisions between player-controlled tokens and a subset of path objects on the page
• KABOOM -- Creates explosion effects that move tokens away from or towards a point.
• It's a Trap -- Script for setting traps and detecting collisions with them at any point during movement.
• Marching Order -- Makes tokens follow each other in some specified order.
• Move Lighting -- Move dynamic lighting polygon path objects between game layers.
• No Token Rotation -- Prevents tokens from being rotated
• Random Depth -- Randomly adjusts the depth of selected tokens.
• Random Rotate -- Allows the GM to easily rotate all selected tokens to a random angle.
• Size Lock -- Toggles a state which reverts any size changes automatically.
• Slide Tokens -- Use an API command to move tokens along a waypoint path, instead of dragging the token and hitting space.
• Spin Tokens -- Allows the GM to toggle spinning of selected tokens.
• Table Token Sizer -- Simple script to scale rollable tokens added to the tabletop to a given size (defaults to 3x3) an set them as not drawings.
• Token Path -- Tracks movement of the token at the top of tracker, displaying its path (and distance traveled) for the round.
• Token Lock -- Allows GMs to selectively lock the movement of Player Tokens.
• Twins -- Links two tokens so that they mirror each other across pages.

Lighting and Revealing

Dynamic lighting is a subscriber feature that changes what parts of the map are visible to the players as they move their tokens around. The light-blocking walls are achieved by paths on the walls layer, and tokens are used as point light sources. Scripts which modify either the light emitted by tokens or the walls which block the light belong in this category.

• DLEllipseDrawer -- Draw circles and ellipses on the dynamic lighting layer.
• Dynamic Light Recorder -- Save dynamic lighting paths for map tiles and automatically regenerate later
• Dynamic Lighting Animation -- Animate a sequence of changes to the dynamic lighting layer
• The Darkness is Closing In -- Example script for reducing light on a token every time it moves.
• Torch -- A simple script for giving lights to tokens and turning off and on dynamic lighting.
• Walls -- Builds dynamic lighting walls with an exported SVG path file.
• ShareVision -- Allows normal vision and darkvision to be shared.

Jukebox

The jukebox is a powerful tool for creating immersive gaming experiences. Make it even more powerful.

• Roll20 Audio Master -- Comprehensive jukebox control script; play, stop, and loop tracks. Adjust volume of tracks. Create, edit, play, stop, loop, and shuffle playlists.

Characters - Equipment

Most game systems have some form of equipment to make characters better. While scripts dealing with that equipment may necessarily be system-specific, there are scripts which handle equipment in a more general fashion.

• Ammo -- Provides inventory management for ammunition stored in an attribute of a character.
• Ammunition Tracker -- A bunch of commands to track ammunition.
• Inventory Manager -- Inventory Management

Characters - Attributes

Manipulate one or more characters' attributes. Anything that is system-specific should be placed in the system's category below; this section is for system-agnostic attribute manipulation.

• Conditions -- Track attribute-modifying conditions.
• ChatSetAttr -- Create, modify, and delete character attributes via chat commands or macros.
• EasyExperience -- Make awarding experience easy and choose your experience progression.

Generators

Content generation can extend the reach of your campaign while minimizing the GM's prep time.

• Terrain Generator -- Generate simple outdoor maps (forests, deserts, etc)

• Language Script -- A script for auto converting text to elven or dwarven.
