FoundryVTT - Forien's Easy Polls

This module aims to provide solution to create, manage, vote and see results of Polls in Chat Log during games played via Foundry Virtual Tabletop.

Usage

This module lets you create and manage Polls using Chat Command, Create Poll Dialog and Saved Polls App.

Module also supports Chat Commander's autocompletion and tooltips.

Through Chat Command

To create a poll, use /poll chat command.

• First line becomes the question.
• Every other line becomes an answer.
• Empty lines are ignored

Tip: Use Shift+Enter to go to new line when writing a message

Optional flags

Chat Command supports the following optional flags. Flags allow overriding the default Configuration Settings

Mode

Use this flag by typing --mode or --m directly followed by one of allowed modes:

• multiple (also multi, m) — set Poll to multiple vote poll, allowing players to vote on multiple options
• single (also s) — set Poll to single vote poll, allowing players to only pick one option

Results

Use this flag by typing --results or --r directly followed by one of allowed settings:

• true (also t) — set Poll to allow players checking the Poll's results
• false (also f) — set Poll to hide results from players

Secret

Use this flag by typing --secret or --s directly followed by one of allowed settings:

• true (also t) — set Poll to hide voters
• false (also f) — set Poll to allow players seeing who voted for what options (requires players to also see results)

Example:

/p --mode single Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything
Stupid answer
Dumb answer
Just answer
Barely answer
42
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Through Create Dialog UI

Press P (keybinding is editable through Foundry's Configure Options) to open a "Create Poll" Dialog, where you can set Poll's Question and Options in visual form.

In this Dialog you can also set all flags as you wish.

Saved Polls

When using "Creat Poll" Dialog, you have an option to "Create and Save". Using this button will save the Poll for your later use.

Press Shift+P (keybinding is editable through Foundry's Configure Options) to open a "Saved Polls" App, where you can see all your Saved Polls and quickly post them to Chat, delete them, or edit them.
