Ideals: Make Token only visible to its controller ( for stealth PVP, and for PCs who wants to hide their token from DM)

Now we only get the GM layer for GM to hide tokens from Player, but I find this TRICK for Players to hide their tokens from GM and other players. Instead of upload maps into map layer, we upload our map as a BIG token in the token layer. For example, we get a wizard for Player A, a worrier for player B, a map token. Be sure that the map token is on the bottom and can only be edited / controlled by GM, and each player can only edit / control their own tokens. Then, if player A let his wizard cast invisibility, put wizard token to the bottom . So, this token would be covered by the BIG map token, but since A cannot control the map token, so he could use box selection to find his INVISIBLE wizard and move it. For GM, he can only select the BIG map token on the top, unable to choose the wizard and see the wizard. For B, the wizard is also invisible and unchosenble while his worrier is still on the top of map token. When the wizard end his invisibility, or the GM just want to make sure where he is, we can just put the map token back to the bottom , then every token would be visible again.
Shouldn't the GM know where even invisible characters are all the time? But I do like your idea of being able to hide a particular player character from other players. I think this could be handled very well in the Suggestion that is about having multiple layers. If those additional layers also had some controls as to who can SEE the layer, that would cover your suggestion and allow for great flexibility, like having spirits that only certain players can see, or if a character has some form of True Sight and so can see through an illusion that most other players are seeing. I'll try to find the "Additional Layers" suggestion and link it in here. Maybe you could then support that one.
OK, here is the most popular "Map Layer" suggestion but it looks like it is only one additional layer "a weather layer" and it will be visible by all players like the Token layer, but only controllable by the GM. Sooooo, won't cover your suggestion or my hope of how they will implement. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1241955/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1241955/slug%7D</a> But I will add in my suggestion to see if they could maybe implement it to this new Weather layer. If they don't, well we can always request it as an update. :)
The most common workaround would be a transparent token with an aura.&nbsp;
But everyone can see the aura?
Only if you set it so that everyone can see in the Advanced Settings.&nbsp; Otherwise only the owner of the token and the DM/GM can see the aura.
I really like this idea. Could make battle royals super fun
