Function getSelected

This function can only be called from a trusted macro

Returns a list containing the ids of the selected NPC tokens on the current map. The type of the value returned depends on the delimiter parameter.

  • If the delimiter is not specified then a string list is returned with the default value of ',' is used.
  • If the delimiter "json" then a json array is returned. (as of MapTool 1.3b49)
  • Otherwise a string list is returned with the delimiter passed in.

[h: macros = getSelected(delim)]

delim is the delimiter used to separate the values in the string list which defaults to ',' if not specified.
