Making a token invisible to selected players.

Question: is it possible via a Script or with use of in built features to make a token on a map , invisible to selected players? Ti explain my party is about to go into a haunted house where some objects like animated armour have been enchanted to be invisible. One of my players recently got access to Blind sight , so is it possible rather than explaing to everyone that only he sees the armour, to instead be able to make the token only visible to that one player.

Not really. Here's a kludge-y workaround: You could make a "marker" token out of a transparent png image, give control of that token to the player, and give the token a size 0 aura that is not visible to others. It would at least give them a location.
Thank you it was worth a check 
As David said, it's easier to make an invisible token visible to certain players than to make a visible token invisible to certain players.

It's as David said.  There are a few Mod Scripts that can make that easier:   TokenCondition  -- easy script to drag in and attach tokens to other tokens.  You could set up a token as David describes such that your player can control it (thus see it) and it has an aura they can see.  It might require some minor tweaking to make sure the controlled by stays set correctly, but let me know if you need help with that Twins -- This is an older script, but lets you link tokens across pages, so you could have all your creatures linked between a duplicated page (move on 1, it moves on the other, etc).  That would let you have your player with blindsight on one page where they can see the other tokens, and the other players on the page without them.  This would be a huge undertaking to set up, but would have the effect you want.

How does Twins handle the Turn Tracker? I.e. if combat breaks out and the players are on two pages, can the Turn Tracker still be utilized?

Kye, I wouldn't go down the path of technology to fix this.  Not worth it.  Simply move the token to the GM layer and drop the player into a private channel and explain what the character sees, because the moment he comes back to main, he'll say what he sees.  A lot of work for nothing
