[Script] Traps, Water, Difficult Movement, whatever... adding map hazards.

1) Use the pathing tool to add rectangles or polygonal shapes to the GM layer. 2) Free hand and circles not supported. 3) Recommend you draw with fill color, this will turn transparent if the path is a supported path. That’s it. The API will look to do something based on tokens entering that shape on the object layer. It will check for a Macro with a name = to the path color (i.e. macro named ‘#FF0000’) activeTrap = function(hazzard, token) { var objValues = getObjValue(hazzard, objExtractKeysPath), featureMacro = findObjs({ _type: 'macro', name: objValues.stroke })[0]; //DO SOMETHING WITH 'featureMacro' log(hazzard) log(token) log(featureMacro) },

So hoping Vince likes this.... but you never know.

This really needs a recursive path created around walls on the DL layer.

I've written A* before for several games. It's not really that hard. The hard part is getting the graph data built.

So... one of the lucky things about dungeon draw (or any approach like it) is the use of tiles the size of the grid. You know the canvas obstructions based on the tiles. This makes partolling tokens easy... you know the likely path a player took... if they want to be specific they can use waypoints. This could add a lot of value to the canvas!

So far so good! Works off a simple 1 or 0 map. Now just need get to work where a tile could have one or more walls.

This could be used for random dungeon generation too.

For large encoutners... this could really save the GM time... bad guys keep trying to get into melee range (or run away) on their turn automatically.
