Main Page: API:Script Index

TokenMod provides an interface to setting almost all changeable properties of a token. Players can also use it to edit tokens they control, with option to edit/target other's tokens.

It's among the most popular APIs, and is quickly updated every time Roll20 makes new API keys accessible.

Config

Enable players to target/edit tokens they don't control(is also a button in the config menu):

!token-mod --config players-can-ids|on

Commands

!token-mod <--help|--ignore-selected|--config|--on|--off|--flip|--set> <parameter> [<parameter> ...] ... [ --ids <token id> [<token id> ...]]

This command takes a list of modifications and applies them to the selected tokens (or tokens specified with --ids by a GM or Player depending on configuration).

--help -- Displays the help documentation
--ignore-selected -- Prevents modifications to the selected tokens (only modifies tokens passed with --ids).
--current-page -- Only modifies tokens on the calling player's current page. This is particularly useful when passing character_ids to --ids.
--active-pages -- Only modifies tokens on pages where there is a player or the GM. This is particularly useful when passing character_ids to --ids.
--api-as <playerid> -- Sets the player id to use as the player when the API is calling the script.
--config -- Sets Config options.
on/off/flip (See "Boolean Arguments"-section in handout for more details)
- --on -- Turns on any of the specified parameters.
- --off -- Turns off any of the specified parameters.
- --flip -- Flips the value of any of the specified parameters.
--set -- Each parameter is treated as a key and value, divided by a | character. Sets the key to the value. If the value has spaces, you must enclose it ' or ". See below for specific value handling logic.
--move -- Moves each token in a direction and distance based on its facing.
--order -- Changes the ordering of tokens. Specify one of:
- tofront, front, f, top to bring something to the front
- toback, back, b, bottom to push it to the back.
--report -- Displays a report of what changed for each token.
Experimental
--ids -- Each parameter is a Token ID, usually supplied with something like @{target|Target 1|token_id}. By default, only a GM can use this argument.
- You can enable players to use it as well with --config players-can-ids|on.

Full user documentation can be found in the Help: TokenMod-Handout in-game, or by running the command !token-mod --help.

Considerations

Note: Each --option can be specified multiple times and in any order.

Note: If you are using multiple @{target|token_id} calls in a macro, and need to adjust fewer than the supplied number of token ids, simply select the same token several times. The duplicates will be removed.

Note: Anywhere you use |, you can use # instead. Sometimes this makes macros easier.

Note: You can use the {{ and }} to span multiple lines with your command for easier clarity and editing:

!token-mod {{
  --on
    flipv
    fliph
  --set
    rotation|180
    bar1|[[8d8+8]]
    light_radius|60
    light_dimradius|30
    name|"My bright token"
}}

Examples

Some examples of !token-mod commands, with possible explanations. Examples are taken from the forum thread or in-game documentation.


!token-mod --on showname            // show nameplate
!token-mod --off showname --ids -MqL6-o4cFq5-9Z5_W8K
!token-mod --set layer|gmlayer      // move to gmlayer

!token-mod --set name|"Sir Thomas" bar1_value|23      //Setting a token's name to "Sir Thomas" and bar1 value to 23
!token-mod --set represents|@{Bob|character_id} defaulttoken      // sets the default token for that character, a quick way to update the default token
!token-mod --set statusmarkers|blue|broken-shield       //adds the 2 status markers to the token
!token-mod --move 3g                // move token 3 grids in the current facing(up being default)
!token-mod --move =90|2u           // moves 2 grids to the right(ignoring current facing)

//Various examples
!token-mod --on showplayers_aura1 --set aura1_radius|35 aura1_color|0000ff //Turning on aura1 for players, setting it's radius to 35, setting it's color to blue

!token-mod --set currentside|+      //set selected token to show "next" side, by "shifting" the token side number by +1

!token-mod --set controlledby|all                   //all players

Set Default Token

If you have a token selected, which is set to represent a character, you can do the following command and the Character's default token will be updated. This is much quicker than the Link Token method.

!token-mod --set defaulttoken

Character-Specific Command

Toggles on/off Darkvision for tokens representing the character named "Wizard", and only on the current map page. Doesn't apply the changes to any selected characters.

Great example of fairly fool-proof command that can be given to a players as a macro, which they can active for their own character for the quickbar or a macro, without the risk of accidentally affecting other tokens than the one currently played by the player.

!token-mod {{
  --flip
    night_vision
  --set
    night_vision_distance|60
    light_angle|360
    night_vision_effect|nocturnal
  --ids @{Wizard|character_id}
  --current-page
  --ignore-selected
