Hi experts all,
I am trying to create a player moveable boat that characters can visibly sit in. Sadly, my best efforts so far have the players obscured by the boat.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are using FG Classic then you will have issues with this since tokens don't stack. There is an extension which allows you to have another two layers which would allow a token on that layer to be moved. https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?20231-Enhanced-Images-%28layers%29-for-FG-3-0-CoreRPG-%28and-rulesets-based-on-CoreRPG%29

If you are using Unity then you should be able to add a token onto a different layer (I think).

Oh, in both cases only the DM will have control of the boat. And the PC tokens can't be attached to the boat.

Thanks Zacchaeus. I am using Unity. Unfortunately I really need the boat to be character controllable.
In a small flash of realisation...I have always added the boat character when the other characters were already on the map. Putting the boat on the map first fixes the issue! i.e. the tokens seem to layer so those added first are under those added later. All I had to do is put the boat on first.
Sorry to have bothered you!
