Can players have the vision from multiple tokens at once?

One of my players is a hacker who is going to be presented with the opportunity to access the security system of a building - to include its camera system. And this means they would be able to see through multiple cameras at once. If I made "camera" tokens with relevant vision, and set the token to the player under "Can Be Controlled / Edited By", with multiple tokens on the same map (but potentially separated by walls and obstacles) would they be able to see through the vision cones of all the cameras at one time?

Hi Sahelanthropus! Yes. This is the basis of the  Light Crumbs  trick, only you would assign control to that specific player, instead of "All Players". With a script like tokenmod, you could also turn individual cameras on and off for the player. This latter trick would require the tokens not being attached to a sheet, but having control set at the token level. When in doubt, you can test setups like this with a  Dummy Account , or you can work with the player ahead of time on a sample map to make sure everything is working properly before using it in a live game.
