Arrow that shows direction of token

Hi all, This is my first post here, so I would like to thank the Roll20-crew for this wonderful tool. I have a suggestionto rotating the entire token when you want to show its direction. Why not have a small arrow that can be moved around the rim of the token? The small arrow - perhaps nothing more than a pointy triangle - point to a nearby hex (or square) that the token are facing. RPGTools has this kind of function, and it is very neat. In our game we use faces of the PC as tokens, and when we have to rotate them upside down (when they are facing N-S-direction on the map) don't look that good.  Thank you again for Roll20! Best regards/J.

On the token is a small extension like box. It is outside the normal box. You cursor will change to a + mark and you can click hold on that to drag the token to rotate. Were you asking for a small arrow to click on that will make the token auto rotate one facing at a time?

I think he doesn't want to rotate the token since unless its a top down it won't look proper upside down.  He wants a small icon that moves around the icon to designate facing for systems that use facing. +1.  I've seen a few other VTT's that do that.

Hi again,  yes, Konrad is right. What I was asking for was something like this: Best regards/J.

Oh, I misunderstood what you were talking about. That is a facing mark. D'oh. That is very useful to have on portrait tokens.

You could do this by making a transparent token with an arrow on it and then grouping it with the character token.  - Gauss

Gauss said: You could do this by making a transparent token with an arrow on it and then grouping it with the character token.  - Gauss The only problem is once you group tokens I don't think you can do everything you normally would.  And you would have to ungroup it to rotate it. :(

You can hold down Alt to move grouped tokens individually, rotate, etc. - Gauss
