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

• Introduced in version 1.3b42

Sets the value of the specified bar for the Current Token and makes the bar visible. The value to set is between 0 and 1 for 0% to 100% respectively.

setBar(name, pct/100)
setBar(name, pct/100, tokenRef)
setBar(name, pct/100, tokenRef, mapRef)

Parameters

name - The name of the bar.
value - The value of the bar. Should be between 0 and 1.
tokenRef - Either the token id or Token Name of the token, defaults to the Current Token.
Note: This parameter can only be used in a Trusted Macro.
mapRef - The Name or ID 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.
