Sets the [[Size]] of a [[Token]].
Sets the size of a [[Token]] with one of the defined sizes according to each Grid Type. {{Note|The names of each size are based on the type of grid the map uses. The sizes can be found on the [[Token Size]] page.}} "Free" or "Native" are also valid values.
 
==Grid Sizes and Scales==
 
The valid sizes for each type of grid are documented below, where '''Medium''' is always 1 full grid cell.  The '''Scale''' is a multiplier for the size of the image after configuring it to fit within the stated footprint. For example, the {{code|Huge}} size on a square grid occupies a 3x3 cell area and the image is scaled ('''1.0''') to exactly fit that area.  But the {{code|Large}} size on a hex grid is 3 hexes scaled down 10% ('''0.9''') so as to keep the image slightly within the border of the 3 cells.

setSize() Function

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

• Introduced in version 1.3b48
Sets the size of a Token with one of the defined sizes according to each Grid Type.
The names of each size are based on the type of grid the map uses. The sizes can be found on the Token Size page.
"Free" or "Native" are also valid values.

Usage

setSize(size)
setSize(size, id)
setSize(size, id, mapRef)

Parameters

  • size - A Token Size to set the token to. Can be "Free" or "Native" as well.
  • id - The token id of the token which will have its Token Size set. Defaults to the Current Token.
  • mapRef - The Name or ID of the map to find the token. Defaults to the current map.

The sizes available on the for Square grid maps are:

  • Fine
  • Diminutive
  • Tiny
  • Small
  • Medium
  • Large
  • Huge
  • Gargantuan
  • Colossal

 

Examples

To set the size of the current token to Medium: 
[h: setSize("Medium")]

To set the size of the current token to whatever string is stored in the macro variable mySize: 

[h: mySize = "Large"]
[h: setSize(mySize)]

Version Changes

  • 1.3b51 - Added id parameter option.
