[Demo] "I didn't ask how big the room was, I said cast fireball"

Big thanks to Aaron for the help on the cones... they were giving me fits.

Super interesting. Any chance of doing the same with hexes?

love it!

Also thinking it might be fun with this idea I left idle...

Does make measurement easy.

This looks great! I know I always have a problem with players not knowing the sizes of spells on Roll20. Do you have a script for us to use yet?

Just saying. On a serious note... the measurement should work for hexs. But I should do something like this for hexes and grids: <a href="http://zvold.blogspot.com/2010/01/bresenhams-line-" rel="nofollow">http://zvold.blogspot.com/2010/01/bresenhams-line-</a>... &nbsp;

Stephen S. said: On a serious note... the measurement should work for hexs. What I meant was a sharp border is much better than a circular one - where the squares affected are specifically outlined. Even if only the outer ring is covered that could be fine. I would do the same for squares. That way it is utterly clear where the borders are.

Looking great. I hope I get to use something like this one day.

Sold, i'll take 3!

Hexes actually measure from a intersection, just like squares. At least in 5e.&nbsp;In my earlier example for instance it is centered on the intersection of 3. You'll notice that it is actually not symetrical (compare the top row to the bottom row) I don't think it is possible to pragmatically do it without replacing it with a new image at each step.

Wherever you place the intersection (that is just a setable option based on system) you are going to have i,j,k axis with hex. You go out the radius on each axis and connect them all. This give you a larger hex, based on center and middle starting point (token snapping based on system) and drawn based on page setting hex orientation (h or v.) That outer line.... you just path (Bresenham's line drawing algorithm.) That same algorithm can also be used for a polygonal line pathing tool.... if you wanted to draw a river or a road on a hex map (tile swapping.) There is a lot that needs to be done with pathing.... this is just distance line drawing... but you can use it for things like&nbsp; Dungeon Connect or &nbsp;a really powerful Dynamic Lighitng tool.... pathing is way under used.

All of the want for something like this :3

You go out the radius on each axis and connect them all. This give you a larger hex, based on center and middle starting point (token snapping based on system) and drawn based on page setting hex orientation (h or v.) The shapes are different. Compare a 10 ft radius: 18 vs 12

I think Stephen's point is in the case of the right example there is a regular hexagon centered at that point which passes through the hexagons at the perimeter but no others. The hexagon line intersection should exactly duplicate that shape.&nbsp;

Playing around with&nbsp; Wes on an idea something like this.... identifying the areas once drawn.&nbsp;
