Cannot alter player visibility of Nametags on tokens

January 10 (3 weeks ago)

Edited January 10 (3 weeks ago)

I ran into this the other night when I was trying to hide the nametags on player's tokens from them (it was a scenario with doppelgangers and I wanted them to be confused about who was who on the map). No matter how I tried, whether I turned off the "See" checkbox or deleted the text in the Nametag, every time I hit Save on the token it would just automatically reset itself so that the name still showed. It didn't matter that I'm the GM. One of my players suggested it might have something to do with the Aura API that I used to show character health in the form of a colored aura around their tokens, and that that was somehow preventing me from altering the Nametag visibility, but that seemed like a strange reason for it.

Anyway, I wondered if anyone else has run into this and had a solution.

We often see folks with weird token issues caused by the Aura Mod (API) script.
Try in a game with no API and see if it works. Try turning off the Aura Mod and see if it works.

Hi Shard!

It is almost certainly the HealthColors script. That is one of its secondary functions. It's a feature bloat that should never have been added and this issue comes up often because of it. Check the config. You can turn that off.
