setGMName() Function

 Note: This function can only be used in a Trusted Macro

Introduced in version 1.3b49
Sets the GM Name of a token.

Usage

setGMName(name)
setGMName(name, tokenRef)
setGMName(name, tokenRef, mapRef)

Parameters

  • name - A string that is set as the GM Name on the token.
  • tokenRef - Either the token id or Token Name of the token that has its GM Name set. Defaults to the Current Token.
  • mapRef - The Name or ID of the map to find the token. Defaults to the current map.

[h: SelectedTokens = getSelected()]
[h,foreach(TokenID, SelectedTokens), code:

}]
