getTokenShape

getTokenShape() Function

• Introduced in version 1.3b89

Retrieves the token's shape (top-down, circle, square).

Usage

getTokenShape()
getTokenShape(tokenRef)
getTokenShape(tokenRef, mapname)

Parameters

• tokenRef - Either the token id or Token Name of the token to check for the shape, defaults to the Current Token.

   Note: This parameter can only be used in a Trusted Macro. 

• mapname - The name of the map to find the token. Defaults to the current map.

Token IDs are unique, but Token Names can be duplicated. Using Token Name when more than one token has the same name can produce unexpected results.

Result
The function returns the token's shape as a string value: "TOP_DOWN", "CIRCLE", "SQUARE".

Example

Get the token shape for the top down Dragon token.

[r: getTokenShape("Dragon")]

Returns:

TOP_DOWN
