Feature Request: Allow players to see unowned tokens in the HUD

[Krigsmaskine]

Unsure if this is intended to be a GM only module and I just missed it, but when I log onto a player account, I'm to see this module, even if it's the only module enabled.

DnD5e 2.15, foundry vtt 10.291, covered token rescue hud ver 1.0.7

I believe I had it so it would not show hud elements they do not own, but they should still be able to see their token under a token they do not own. Can you confirm? I will check back later when I have a chance to test.

After more testing, I think I've misunderstood the intent behind the module and what my players meant by "can't see through the tokens" 😄

For exposition, we had an encounter where tokens occupy the players' token space (swarms). I thought the module would show all covered tokens when you mouse over a "pile". That way, they could mouse over a pile and "bring to top" the occupying enemies, so they could see/target them.

Then when my players said they could not see their tokens, I think it was symbol overlays messing them up. Doing the test now, it seems like core Foundry or core DnD forces owned tokens for players to the front of "stacks", but status overlays are rendered on top of that even still, even from other tokens.

I'm unaware of how feasible it would be and if you accept feature requests, but it'd be helpful for mechanics where tokens occupy other tokens' place to be able to use Covered Token Rescue HUD to "pop" un-owned tokens to the top, even just temporarily, for stuff like targeting. Else feel free to close the ticket. 😛

I think I can make it so unowned tokens show. I just need to not show the name and avoid showing tokens that are not visible.

This has regressed in v11, and is no longer happening (player view):

+1, player can't see tokens on the same case of their token, which make it impossible for them to target ennemies

Foundry v11 last stable and alst version of rideable

Adding to this report. My players are not able to see HUD, even when they are stacking their own tokens.
