addToInitiative() Function

Adds the Current Token to the initiative panel.

This function will not assign any initiative value to the tokens, you can use the setInitiative() function

to set the initiative value of tokens.

Usage

addToInitiative()
addToInitiative(AllowDuplicates)
addToInitiative(AllowDuplicates, value)
addToInitiative(AllowDuplicates, value, id)
addToInitiative(AllowDuplicates, value, id, mapname)

Parameters

• AllowDuplicates - If false (default) then will not add the token if it is already in the initiative list. If true (1) an additional entry will be added to the initiative list (so there could be multiple initiative entries for the same token).
• value - The initiative value to set. If included, the initiative will be set even if the token is already on the initiative list and duplicates are not allowed.
• id - The token id of the token to add to the initiative. Defaults to the Current Token.

   Note: This parameter can only be used in a Trusted Macro. 

• mapname - The name of the map to find the token. Defaults to the current map.
• return - Returns 1 if added to the initiative, 0 if did not.

Example

The following example shows how to add a Current Token to the initiative panel, set

its initiative and then sort the initiative panel. Normally you would not sort the initiative panel every time you add a Current Token but its done here to show you how it is done.

[h: addToInitiative()]
[h: setInitiative(1d20)]
[h: sortInitiative()]
