getTokenStates

getTokenStates() Function

• Introduced in version 1.3b51

Returns the valid states in the campaign settings in either a String List or JSON Array. Alternatively, if a token id is specified, instead returns the list of the states that are set to true(1) for the token.

Usage

getTokenStates()
getTokenStates(delim)
getTokenStates(delim, groupName)
getTokenStates(delim, groupName, tokenRef)
getTokenStates(delim, groupName, tokenRef, mapRef)

Parameter

• delim - Specifies the delimiter used in the string list that is returned, default is ",". If the value is set to json, the function returns a JSON array instead.
• groupName - Specifies the name of the group to get the states for. If set to "*", get all states.
• tokenRef - Either the token id or Token Name of the token to get the states set to true(1). If the parameter is not used, instead returns all valid states in the campaign settings.

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

• mapRef - The Name or ID of the map where the token is. Set to the current map by default.

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.

Example

To get a String List of the valid Token States in the campaign.

[h: states = getTokenStates()]

To get a JSON Array of the valid Token States in the campaign.

[h: states = getTokenStates("json")]

To get a JSON Array of the valid Token States in the Damage group in the campaign in 1.3b55 or later.

[h: states = getTokenStates("json", "Damage")]

To get a JSON Array of the Token States set to true(1) for the "Dragon" token:

[h: states = getTokenStates("json", "*", "Dragon")]

Version Changes

• 1.3b55 - Added the groupName parameter.
• 1.5.7 - Added id and mapname parameter options.
