hook preCreateToken update token name

I'm trying to update the token name when dropping a token on a scene.

I basically have something like this

Hooks.on("preCreateToken", async function (tokenDocument) {
  tokenDocument.actor.update({name: "some dude"});
});

Hooks.on("preCreateToken", async function (tokenDocument) {
  tokenDocument.actor.update({name: "some dude"});
});

I'm trying to follow the operation described here
https://foundryvtt.com/article/v11-actor-delta/
but getting an error related to

id

id

and

embeddedCollection

embeddedCollection

how should I update a token in the

preCreateToken

preCreateToken

hook

The official website and community for Foundry Virtual Tabletop.

Solution

so switching the hook to

createToken

createToken

and keeping everything else the same seems to get the functionality i'm looking for.
