setSize() Function

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

Introduced in version 1.3b48
Sets the Size of a Token.

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 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 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.

Needs Clarification:
It would be nice to include pictures that demonstrate how the grid cells are composed; at least for the hex grids.

Usage

setSize(size)
setSize(size, id)

Parameters

  • size - The Size to set the token to.
  • id - The token id of the token which has its Size set, defaults to the Current Token.
  • Note that if the token is in 'Free size' or 'Native size' you will get an error when you use 'setSize' on the token.

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)]
