Only active token has sight?

I'm playing a live game and using roll20 for maps and combat on a 50 inch tv. I'd like to make a script that removes sight from all tokens when inititive tracker is activated and only the token who's turn it is has sight so that instead of all players seeing everything for their turn they can actively see only what they can see. then when it's closed give sight back to all players. I'm 90% sure i can do this but if someone has something similar already built and I havn't found it, that could save me time/effort.

You might use a script like Aaron's TokenMod or Torch to accomplish this. Aaron might even think-up a "magic trick" so that the sight toggles using the turn tracker as well...

It's more of a workaround until someone *cough* Aaron *cough* gets back from LARPing but you could just select the active token and use Ctrl+L (Cmd+L on mac) to 'see' as that token 'sees'. It should remove all other sight-lines and give you the effect you are looking for with little manual effort.

the CTRL L thing only works when logged in as GM which means the whole map is exposed. I use 2 accounts so that they don't see all the extra stuff going on.

Milo Tealeaf said: the CTRL L thing only works when logged in as GM which means the whole map is exposed. I use 2 accounts so that they don't see all the extra stuff going on. Gah, so it does... API it is then, i'm sure someone with those skills will be along soon enough

i've actually pretty much figured it out. I can change the has sight option of the active person on the initiative tracker. I'm just having a small issue finding out how to select all tokens to change the sight option to off. Once i can find a command that works similar to getAllObjs() that will select all tokens on a page instead of everything everywhere it'll be easy to cycle through them and change the sight

Nevermind, the script for that was just above the Getallobjs() in the wiki.....I'm a failure

It looks like to determine the token with initiative, you need to call the Campaign().get('turnorder') property and then set all tokens but the one with the current turnorder to light_hassight = false

I'm referencing this page: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/API:Objects#Graphic_.28Token.2FMap.2FCard.2FEtc..29" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/API:Objects#Graphic_.28Token.2FMap.2FCard.2FEtc..29</a>

I've pretty much got it working correctly, the only part that doesn't work currently is the call when the turn order is closed....Here's what i got so far. // VARIABLE & FUNCTION DECLARATION var TurnOrderSight = TurnOrderSight || {}; var AllSightOn = AllSightOn || {}; var AllSightOff = AllSightOff || {}; on("change:campaign:turnorder", function(obj) { TurnOrderSight(); }); on("change:campaign:initiativepage", function(obj) { if(obj == false) { AllSightOn(); }; }); function TurnOrderSight () { if (!Campaign().get("turnorder")) { AllSightOn (); return; }; var turn_order = JSON.parse(Campaign().get("turnorder")); if (!turn_order.length) { AllSightOn (); return; }; // Exit script if custom item on turn order tracker instead of a token... if (turn_order[0].id == -1) return; AllSightOff (); var current_token = getObj("graphic", turn_order[0].id); current_token.set({ "light_hassight": true, }); }; function AllSightOn () { var currentPageGraphics = findObjs({ _pageid: Campaign().get("playerpageid"), _type: "graphic", _subtype: "token", }); _.each(currentPageGraphics, function(obj) { //Do something with obj, which is in the current page and is a graphic. obj.set({ "light_hassight": true, }); }); }; function AllSightOff () { var currentPageGraphics = findObjs({ _pageid: Campaign().get("playerpageid"), _type: "graphic", _subtype: "token", }); _.each(currentPageGraphics, function(obj) { //Do something with obj, which is in the current page and is a graphic. obj.set({ "light_hassight": false, }); }); };

I'd suggest adding some logging to your AllSightOn() function to verify it is getting called I'm pretty certain that this code is incorrect: on("change:campaign:initiativepage", function(obj) { if(obj == false) { AllSightOn(); }; }); When the event triggers (if initiativepage changes), it will pass you the full campaign object, not the property. It should likely be: on("change:campaign:initiativepage", function(obj) { if( obj.get('initiativepage') === false ) { AllSightOn(); }; });
