Changing Token Rotation

[phantomwhale]

Another great way to find what you're looking for across multiple files is the "Find in files" functionality in a number of text editors. A few people on these forums use Notepad++ (a GPL multiple-document text editor with text highlighting for LUA and XML files and xml plugins) which has this search in files facility. The search result window even allows you to double-click on the specific result and it will open up the relevant document - at the line which you clicked on. Very, very handy for tracking down where FG functionality is coded and referenced.

+1 - wouldn't code FGII stuff without it.

Deprecated thread but is there a reason Fantasy Grounds doesn't allow customization of rotation for it's tokens? Seems something that should be in-built?

It does allow customisation of the rotation, and this is mentioned in post #3 of this thread. The API command is detailed here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/refdo...ientationCount

This is not an "option" or "setting in FG - this is altering code directly. Not the same thing.

Stitched, what ruleset are you wanting this for? If it isn't a requirement in the relevant rules, you are unlikely to see this, as providing a user-friendly implementation in the user interface is a non-trivial affair.

Using 5e - trying to find the entry in the ruleset and Notepad++ isn't finding any reference.

[Bidmaron]

If it were required, it would already be there. If it isn't then I would argue that since you are the first to ask (that I know of), it isn't worth doing. Forgive me, but I am not a5e guy.

Reading other threads, it sounded like it was added to the Foundation Core...strange that it doesn't exist across the board.

[Bidmaron]

It isn't in most ruleset so why should it be? FG can do it, but, as I said, an easy-to-use interface is non-trivial and therefore since most don't care about it, it doesn't exist any the more popular rulesets as far as I know.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, but for me "customization" usually refers to altering code. "Configuration" is normally used to refer to available options, such as the FG campaign options: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/Options

Anyway, that's just semantics - glad you've clarified what you were actually looking for.

You won't find a reference to this in the ruleset because all image controls will use the default. Oh, and it will be in CoreRPG, not 5E - because 5E is built on top of CoreRPG.

There's a setTokenOrientationMode call in the onInit function of the CoreRPG campaign\scripts\images.lua file. You could try adding in a setTokenOrientationCount command at the same point, with the default parameter you're looking for. But this would be a set value for all images, you'd need to do more coding if you wanted to change it on a image-by-image basis.
