[Script] MapLock -- Provides individual graphic locking as well as highlighting.

Update v0.3 -- Fixed bug that prevented the core feature of the script... whoops! (Thanks Ziechael!)

Prevents moving/resizing/rotating graphics that have been locked. (Thanks Ziechael for the idea!)

Commands

• !map-lock -- this is the command for this script. Here are the arguments:
  
  • lock -- adds selected graphics to the list of locked graphics. Will lock any sort of graphic on any layer, preserves across layers (but not across copies!).
  • unlock -- removes the selected graphics from the list of locked graphics.
  • toggle-highlight -- turns on a red tint on all locked graphics, making it easy to see what is locked and unlocked and providing contrast for things you're moving about on top of them. (Existing tinting is preserved.)
  • --help (or no arguments) -- shows the help output in chat.

Never ever going to say no to a credit (hence forcing my way onto a colleagues film end credits by supplying rudimentary script edits and duplication services ;) ) but this is an idea i selfishly needed and had seen suggested previously... then reminded Aaron that he could *nudge nudge wink wink* make it with ease... however, disclaimer aside, you are welcome =D

On a more roll20 appropriate note, having tested all the features of this script already it is awesome for klutz's like me who constantly move their carefully aligned map instead of that pesky torch token!

Great work as always, thanks Aaron!

And... it can be marked off of Aaron's backlog. :-)

1 down, a billion to go!

Needs to be a built-in feature. :D

I might grab this one for locking down my map "descriptor" tokens. I place tokens above my map on the token layer, controlled by all players. They can use the zoom (Z) feature to view/read more detail about an area of the map. Sometimes the tokens can get moved around accidentally. I usually copy the tokens to the GM layer of the map so that I can easily move the tokens back to their proper location in case they get moved too far. I think this might work very nicely. Thanks Ziechael and The Aaron.

Again, i did little more than ask Aaron nicely to write the script... but you are welcome Vince =D

It would work just fine for that. =D

v0.3 hits the nail on the head... job done.

I didn't even know you could tint tokens. Now that's handily cool.

Tell me about it, i didn't realise the usefulness of this till i used the graphical inventory script... 1 flask icon, a million potion possibilities ;)

Also, on topic, handy for highlighting those key bits of mappyness.

Yeah, very AutoREALMie. =D

Gold recently had an issue where he had accidentally moved his map to the GM layer when zoomed in and work on some fine detail... would it be possible to tweak this to incorporate a 'layer lock' option also do you think?

Not saying he is going to do it often but seems a shame not to add it as an option to this script =D

Yeah, it would be trivial to add. :)

Quick question Aaron, would this interfere with the "Bump" script you wrote?

Hmmmm... if you've MapLocked a graphic and then you also bump it, there would be some weird behavior. Shouldn't cause any crashes, just weird behavior.
