    Map Layers?

    Thanks for taking the time to view,

    I haven't been using FG that long and moved over from roll20.net

    I wanted to add a few extra objects onto the map. i.e. a ship in the docks.

    I realise I could just add them to tokens and put on the map.

    However I noticed that when I move the token, there is no way to put one image permanently behind the other images. i.e. crew on the ship

    Therefore its difficult to select the tokens I want. i.e. the ship is selected when I only want to select the crew.

    Is there a work around? A way to properly add layered images to a map (i.e. roofs to houses) or a workaround to select tokens sitting on other tokens. i.e (a dragon rider moving off a dragon) (a thief on a roof) (a pirate on a moving ship)

    And if not? Then why not? I would assume this would be expected from a TTG emulator.

    I have a feeling that my query is just null. In FG you are given tokens and a map, and just make do. Nothing else? Am I right?


    Cheers I have my game tomorrow. I do like aspects of Fantasy Grounds, where as I can see aspects need improving or I just need to learn the ways of using the software.

    I believe this might be the answer you seek.
    If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

    A good choice, switching to FG was.

    I used to host 4ed encounters at our comic shop. So I sold all the encounters on ebay to put back into a game I have been playing since 9 years old. I think its a game that has been my friend and saviour on many occasions, and I know some people need to get paid for that as a job :-)

    To answer your reply on whether that was a useful extension. Well yeah, its EXACTLY what I needed. So just in time for my game too. *bows*
