Initiative Roller 2.0

Description
Initiative Roller is a scripted tool to make rolling for initiative in tabletop RPGs easier. The tool has 3 buttons, which spawn a token for a player, for a creature, or roll the initiative based off of all tokens on the table. The tokens all have a counter on them that lets you add a modifier to the roll. Roll results display in the Notes section (lower right). As this is initiative, all rolls are 1d20 + modifier.

Features:
Support for a large number of Players/NPCs/Creatures
You are only limited by the amount of space in the notes section. Spawn as many player/creature tokens as needed.

Name the Players and the NPCs/Mobs
Tokens are given default names when they are created. You can right click a token and give it a new name. This is the name that will show up in the Notes.

Hide Certain Tokens For Rolls
If you prepare NPCs/Mobs in advance, or if certain players are not going to be in on a given initiative roll, putting their token into a bag will cause the roll to skip it. You are also free to delete the tokens and spawn new ones.

Optional Modifiers
You can edit the text, make tokens spawn as a certain color tint, etc with minor script edits at the top of the script. No scripting knowledge required.

Everything Else:
Currently I am unaware of any bugs, but if you hit any, please let me know about them in the comments. As always, giving me a clear example so I can reproduce the error will help me fix it more quickly.

And if you feel like throwing money in the trashcan, I will have you know that people often call me garbage to my face.

@Helegren The version of this that is in my DnD Tools linked below has that functionality. There the highlight color or the color of the miniature is used for the initiative list color.

Great work i like it so much

is where an easy (noob) way to change the color output in the list
such as get.color of token and set it to list entry?

Great work, this is really useful!

Wonderful addon, sees great use in my group.

I'd like to third that request of taking the colour the token is set to into the log. I had a look at the script, but can only figure out how to change /all/ colours for players and enemies.

Ditto if a little button can be spawned to clear the log.

But those are all small quality of life extra's, this is already pretty great as is, thank you!

Amazing addon! I've been using it for my group and its been endlessly useful. Double up on @Acdreign, is that a possible feature to be added? Coloring the text based on the color each token was set to?

How can you clear or reset the initiative order?

This tool is great, I love it! Is there any way that I can make the output text colored according to player color?

This is great! Will be using it in our campaign.

Two suggestions. The ability to move between turns would be very handy. Reorder the list based on who is up. Could you make it so flipping the token over hides them in the initiative order? If out it would still roll initiative for them and when you flip it over it would update the list and show them.
