Replace Token Macros
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
This macro will search another map for tokens matching a specific naming pattern and then replace the macros on the current map with those. The original intent was to update JMR's Monster Tokens with new macros without losing the original details (other than the macros). This one has some fun features:
- Initial warning with abort on cancel
- Allow a map to be selected from a dropdown populated with all maps
- Replace macro logic based on a specific macrogroup (safer)
- Select target macros based on a regular expression
- Easy inline commenting
- Colorized output based on success
Example output when this macro is run:
Searching for Wolf...
Found! Replacing all macros.
Searching for Okre...
not found on source map, skipping.
Finished. Replaced macros on 9/10 Monster tokens. Check output for missing tokensMacro
