LOS development question

[JustMark]

Hi,

I'm interested in adding LOS to my campaign. If I create the LOS map point definition, is there a way to test it or do we have to submit the xml definition for processing?

Apologies if this was asked and answered somewhere already - I looked, but couldn't find an answer.

Thanks.

Test it? Start a second instance of FG, connect using localhost and then you can test as a player and see what the player(s) see. Have the second instance grab a PC, put them on the CT, and explore.

Or, did you mean something else?

If you are adding LOS to your own campaign you can test it by clicking on play mode; adding a token to the map from the Combat Tracker and activating the LOS button. If you want a player view start a second instance of FG (Make sure the host is running a LAN game and not a Cloud game) and then type localhost into the IP address box and you'll join the host instance as a player. The host can then share the map and the player instance can see the LOS from a player's perspective.

Thanks for both replies.

I was wanting to test it locally. I had dropped a token from the CT to the map, but wasn't seeing anything. Must've done something wrong. Thanks for confirming what I was hoping was possible.

Make sure you actually turn on the LOS using the button below the Play icon; also the LOS will only pop up once you click on the token on the map.

Thanks - I had figured all that out. Its working well now.
