Light View Control for players

Is there a script or action that allows a player to use the Ctrl-L lighting view for a token? I have players on occasion run NPC's or other players due to commitment issues, and it would be nice if they could know what the other token could/could not see in situations where they may be in different rooms/areas, etc, or different viewpoints in a combat situation.

There is not.

The Aaron said: There is not. Bummer. I do it as DM, and I guess I will continue to do so!

Could you use token mod with @{target} to add and remove the PC as controller? !token-mod --ids@{target|token_id} --set controlledby|+Bob)  !token-mod --ids@{target|token_id} --set controlledby|-Bob)  If it works (I use this to test lighting setup on a currently logged-in  Dummy Account ) it has high potential for abuse, so be careful. With some pre-setting of ids, this could be made even more automatic: turning "off" a specific character and turning "on" another in one action.

Let me know how it works for you, I'll add it to my token mod to-do list (still sorting out healing spells)

There could be a better API solution, similar to Observer, but it would need to be written.

That gives me a good idea of a nice way to solve this in a pretty simple script.  Something that takes the currently selected token, finds all other tokens on the page controlled by the calling player, and sets their light_losangle to 0, then running it again (or with nothing selected) can set it back to what it was.  That would let you toggle the vision off/on for a players tokens pretty easily.

Yeah, setting the LOS angle would be a better solution than changing controller, since the player wouldn't have to mess with targeting. They would be able to select their tokens.
