GM Layer Movement Blocking

It would be cool to have walls/lines on the GM layer able to block player movement. This is similar to the recently implemented dynamic lighting walls that block movement, but you can see through these "walls" - this would allow uses in situations such as: D&D Wall of Force spell, strong winds, warding circles, invisible mazes, etc. Alternatively, as I have seen suggested elsewhere, it would be cool to have variable opacity dynamic lighting walls that block player movement... but the gm layer walls might be easier to implement.

I'm definitely in favor of adding a way to block movement but not sight. I think doing it on the GM layer might be problematic (as that layer often has drawing for where traps are, or zones that have special effects, etc. Flagging a line as "Blocks Movement" might be a good solution though.

As you are a Mentor, you could use a Collision Detection script. My script lets you perform collisions with paths on any layer (or all layers) which are a specific color. The script only handles polygons/polylines (including squares/rectangles), not circles/ovals or freehand drawings, and it does not handle paths which have been resized or rotated.
