Visible/Invisible Tokens and Objects

Score + 48
I would like to see some kind of system implemented for a token or object placed on tabletop to have options for is visibility to all or certain players. Example 1: a GM has players roll a check to see if they can see a creature waiting to ambush them. Say only 1 out of 4 players see it. I would like to make an object so that only that player can view it on the table top. Example 2: Player are in battle with a creature that goes invisible. 1 Player has see invisibility the rest do not. The easiest way I can see this be accomplished is to treat it like you do control of a token. Where you can set one or more players to view it or all players.
If you make the token from a transparent png file you can actually give control to the player who saw it, then they can drag select to find out where the token is. A more streamlined approach would be cool though.

I think he's talking invisible to some but not all players.
@Aaron Correct, that was exactly what I was trying to convey

Here are some similar suggestions I identified on the current Roll20 Suggestions forum vote. If you like them, lend them a +1 vote too. If one of them appears as a matching suggestion, you may choose to copy your Comment to the other thread, subtract your +1 vote from this thread to hide it, and add your +1 to the best-matching thread instead, so that the votes can climb higher together.

Definitely +1 - would make inivisibility &amp; stealth much easier.
