automated-jb2a-animations VS macros

Honestly, I've never seen an issue like that. If nobody here can help, you could take your question either to the JB2A Discord, where Automated Animations has a specific section that Otigon runs, or the AA Github.

This can definitely be done with Sequencer but it isn't necessarily going to be the easiest thing in the world. Automated Animations might also help, but I haven't used it in a while.

automated-jb2a-animations - At its core, Automated Animations is centered around the use of "instant" effects such as Weapon Attacks and Spell Effects. There are some areas that branch off from this concept and will be explained in the Wiki.

Examples here.

For visual effects only, I use JB2A Animations and then link to the attacks using Automated Animations which then play various animations when the actions are triggered. You have to change the animation selected if the item changes (from "sword" to "flaming sword" for example) but that shouldn't happen a lot

Automated Animations

Hey, the Automated Animations module from Otigon has now an automatic recognition menu in its settings where you can set a spell effect or attack animation linked to its name. A-A automatic recognition example video In the video, I add an entry called Talon so any item with the name Talon will pick up this animation (except if I create another one specifically called Talon Strike for example) On the Automated Animations Github, there is some very good information about it including a great wiki Otigon is very active on our JB2A Discord and our community can help answering questions you may have. :)

Yeah, learning how to do other stuff in Javascript is a good way to start. But then maybe look at things like the example scripts in the community macros: https://github.com/foundry-vtt-community/macros

Have a look at the community free macro module. https://github.com/foundry-vtt-community/macros

If you code at all, then Foundry jumps even higher up the recommendation list since it's designed intentionally to allow people to build stuff and add functionality. As someone who used to mess with R20 macros and their proprietary API, this is probably one of my favorite benefits to Foundry. They have some typical documentation though if you prefer examples the community macros repo is great for that.

Read some of the shorter/simpler macros from https://github.com/foundry-vtt-community/macros to get a sense of how they work.

This macro in the FoundryVTT Community Macros GitHub repository "selects all actors of the same name on the scene." I haven't tested it, but these macros have never given me issues in the past, and I recommend checking out that repo if there's ever something you're looking for.

Quick size control (#2) is generally handled by macros. There's a macro for quickly swapping tokens between 1x1 and 2x2 in the community macros. If you want some that will just bump a token up or down 1 grid size, I can get you mine personal ones in a bit when I'm at my main computer/
