[BETA] Dynamic_Light_Helper

<a href="https://gist.github.com/BaldarSilveraxe/28a1fb8456" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/BaldarSilveraxe/28a1fb8456</a>... Still need to add circles..... but box, poly and reduced&nbsp;resolution freehand are in here. Sample GIF below.

Oh man, you continue to make the awesomest stuff. In the end my Dynamic Lighting Recorder script turned out to be less useful than I'd hoped - apart from the fact that I got bored fixing all the bugs, I found that I was customising the dynamic lighting paths a lot more than I'd anticipated, which made the script much less useful than anticipated.&nbsp; In particular, cutting doors into walls was something I did a lot, which meant redrawing the recorded paths. I guess a combination of your "handles" approach and a way of linking paths to tiles might be the best of both worlds....

I started with the basic drawing tools and plan to add more tools (arc for example.) But I think your script can be leveraged to add other tools into something like this (your&nbsp;cutting in doors which has a lot of merit.) What I am really after here is a "sub" grid for DL snapping... it takes the basic 70px (canvas px units) grid an turns it into a 14 px grid (odd ratio so you have a "middle" square.) Then you can set how big a token in relation to its left/top.... Then you can do a lot of cool pathing walking stuff, dynamic token reveal based on LOS, etc.

My god, this script is amazing, just for the ability of speeding up doing dynamic lighting on walls and such.

Should have circles/ovlas&nbsp;out today.....&nbsp;That would be all the native drawing tools...&nbsp; For pathing polys.... want to create the ability to remove a points and insert point (likely using nudge rotation.) Ovals and Circles aren't really useful (or squares for that matter) because they are always a closed path... Great for a pillar I guess...&nbsp; What we really need is an arc tool.

One problem with this script is I am currently highjacking the "show label" checkbox for the page. I really shouldn't do that.... but having a hard time resisting because 1) I am lazy and 2) I feel sorry for it since it has no purpose in life. Oh who am I am trying to kid, I have no sympathing and I am just lazy.

Would it be possible to allow rotation? I would love to be able to rotate the DL for a door.

I know it can be done (GIF example above) Just need to have a good interface for binding a drawn path to a graphic.

Need to set the control points on the sides on the circle not the corners of the boxbound (right now using the same code or box controls.) Should have this added into the gist later today.

Might be nice to have a way to tell it you want the circle constrained to being truly round. &nbsp;Same might be true for squares vs. rectangles. Could have different drag controls in alternate corners for constrained or unconstrained resizing. &nbsp;Or rotation activation to swap the mode.

I was thinking about this for poly's...... Black 90 degree, Green 45 degree, Orange 30/60 degree... Red any non-standard degree. Just a visual cue. Could do the same for square/circle and easy to hit on "square" and "degrees" since you have snapping.

As opposed to a constraint? &nbsp;The problem would be you can't see the color when you're dragging, only after.

Not enough to be "right" you have to be "persistently right." We did this with the AOE drawer.... Oval/Rectangles had two edge point controls.... Circle/Squares had center and single edge control. I guess you would just default to one or the other and nudge rotate any control point to toggle between modes.

V2 up.... We have circles.
