[Script] GMAura -- GM-only auras that follow tokens around.

GMAura v0.1.0 GMAura creates gm-only auras on selected or specified tokens. Auras are created as invisible tokens on the GM layer with their aura 1 set up with the specified options. Changes to the location and size of the original token will be mimicked by the aura tokens. Changes to the location and size of the aura tokens will be reverted to keep them synchronized to the object layer token. To remove an aura, simply delete its gm layer token. Removal of the object layer token will cause the aura tokens to be cleaned up. Commands !gm-aura --help Show this help. !gm-aura [--color &lt;color&gt; | --c &lt;color&gt;] [--radius &lt;radius&gt; | --r &lt;radius&gt;] [--square | --s] [--ids &lt;token id&gt; [token id ...]] This command creates an invisible ura token on the GM layer for each selected or specified token. --color &lt;color&gt; &nbsp;-- Sets the color of the created aura.

Nifty! &nbsp;Thanks, Aaron. But to accomplish the goal of the DM seeing an aura on a PC token without the player seeing it, couldn’t you just set the aura settings on the token to neither “Players” nor “Edit”? &nbsp;I think that means even the players that control the token won’t see the aura, while you will. &nbsp;That is how I have my light crumbs tokens set up, so I can easily see at a glance what range of vision the players are getting from it, without inflicting the aura on them so they see the map as intended.

This looks very handy. Any chance you could add support for at least some of the colour labels html uses, like #red, #blue, etc, and translate them into whatever the html number is?

Joe, you could certainly do that. With TokenMod, players could change that, or you might already have a purpose for them. This gives the GM an unlimited number of other auras that players can't see or change. GiGs, I can probably do that. =D &nbsp;
