setMacroProps

setMacroProps() Function

• Introduced in version 1.3b48

Sets the properties for the specified Macro Button on the given token. The properties are passed to this function as a String Property List. This function accepts either a Macro Button Index or the label of a Macro Button. If it is a label, then all Macro Buttons on the token with a matching label are changed.

Usage

setMacroProps(index, props)
setMacroProps(index, props, delim)
setMacroProps(index, props, delim, id)
setMacroProps(index, props, delim, id, mapname)

setMacroProps(label, props)
setMacroProps(label, props, delim)
setMacroProps(label, props, delim, id)
setMacroProps(label, props, delim, id, mapname)

Parameters

• index - The index of the macro button.
• label - The label of the macro button.
• props - A String Property List or JSON Object containing the properties for the button.
  • See createMacro() for a complete list of properties.
• delim - The delimiter used in the String Property List that is used in the props parameter. Defaults to ";" (semicolon) and can be omitted if you are sending a JSON Object as the props parameter. If you are sending a JSON object as the props parameter, and using the id parameter, you can set this to "json".
• id - OPTIONAL: The token id of the token that the macro button is located on. From v1.15, accepts "campaign" and "gm" as ids for the relevant panels.

   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.

Example

Changes the macro button to be red with white text. First one is by index and the second one by label (name).

[h: setMacroProps(1, "color=red;fontColor=white")]
[h: setMacroProps("Attack", "color=red;fontColor=white")]

Somewhat silly example that changes the label (name) of the currently executing macro to the current time and randomly changes the button color.

[h: color = listGet("Red, Blue, Green, White, Yellow, Orange", 1d6-1)]
[h: index = getMacroIndexes(getMacroName())]
[h: dt = json.get(getInfo("server"), "timeDate")]
[h: time = listGet(dt, 1, " ")]
[h: myProps = setStrProp("", "label", time)]
[h: myProps = setStrProp(myProps, "color", color)]
[h: setMacroProps(index, myprops)]
