Range Highlighter #39

Open MapperD opened 1 month ago

MapperD commented 1 month ago

A great little module with great potential. I'm guessing the Range Highlighter feature probably doesn't work so well for non D&D style games, however, it does have some functionality that if possible could be made more generic for other systems. Would it be possible to actually set the ranges displayed? Presently on a Gridless map it shows a circle 5' from the the token but nothing else, making any additional ranges useless (unless I'm just using it incorrectly). Having the ability to set these ranges manually (for those of us using lesser know systems) would open up more possibilities. Token Aura is not as useful since it displays all the time while this module works on hover or Combat only which is perfect. Thanks for any possible consideration :-)

Range Highlighter support needs to be implemented system by system because each one has a different item data structure and where their ranges can be accessed. If you have a system in mind raise it up as an issue and I may very well add support for it.

Otherwise range highlights can be also assigned to tokens via macros:

Thanks for the response. I know the system I'm using is getting a big overhaul soon, so I'll wait and see if there are any changes that let it work out of the box first... if not, I'll let you know ;-)
