Dynamic Lighting: Facing direction without rotating token.

January 18 (11 years ago)

I love the new line of sight but it doesn't work well with "coin tokens". The tokens I use for PCs are basically images put inside a circle or square and having them flip upside down is unreadable. I suggest having a symbol which they are facing so we don't have to flip the token themselves.

That would be very nice, perhaps toggleable inside the "token" dialog.

I like it! My current campaign has tokens which are either facing left or right, with a global macro to flip horizontally, since using the normal rotation handle would make a token upside-down if you wanted to look the other way. I don't use DL frequently, but it'd be nice to be able to angle the light when appropriate, without wacky-looking token rotations.

(In fact, because of the way my tokens are for this campaign, I've got a script running that prevents tokens from being rotated!)

+1 definitely, I can see a good amount of potential uses for this.
I'd say this should just be added in general as a toggle-able way to show token facing, and not specifically tied to dynamic lighting.
