moveToken() Function

Introduced in version 1.3b51
Move a token to a new location.

Usage

moveToken(x, y)
moveToken(x, y, units)
moveToken(x, y, units, tokenRef)

Parameters

  • x - The X coordinate to move the token to.
  • y - The Y coordinate to move the token to.
  • units - If set to false(0), the coordinates are a location on the grid in cells. Defaults to true(1), where the coordinates are in Distance Per Cell pixels.
  • tokenRef - Either the token id or Token Name of the token to move, defaults to the Current Token.

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

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.


 

Examples

Moves the Current Token right 5 pixels, and up 10 pixels.
[h: CurrentX = getTokenX()]
[h: CurrentY = getTokenY()]
[h: NewX = CurrentX + 5]
[h: NewY = CurrentY - 10]
[h: moveToken(NewX, NewY)]

Moves the Current Token right 5 cells, and up 10 cells.

[h: CurrentX = getTokenX(0)]
[h: CurrentY = getTokenY(0)]
[h: NewX = CurrentX + 5]
[h: NewY = CurrentY - 10]
[h: moveToken(NewX, NewY, 0)]
