View Full Version : Walls and Terrain aren't blocking line of sight (or doing much of anything)

I'm running Storm King's Thunder for my players. All of the maps that come with it work beautifully, but I want to create additional battlemaps.

Problem is that for some reason none of the walls / terrain / anything block line of sight or even prevents my player instance of fantasy grounds from walking through it as if it weren't even there. They're just not functioning whatsoever. The weird thing is that I can add these features to existing images in the STK module and they work fine, so I figure it's safe to assume that there's something that I'm neglecting in order to enable them on my imported ones.

I'm not sure what I'm missing here and haven't had any luck figuring it out having watched a few tutorial videos on LOS. Can someone clarify what my deal is?

Are you running two separate instances of Fantasy Grounds?

If you are controlling a player character while using the DM account then: walls/terrain/doors/windows/etc, will not stop you from moving the tokens around the map but will show you the fog of war clear.

In your attached photo, it does not appear that you are in "play mode" on the map. Switch to play mode instead of the LoS editior. There will be an option to enable LoS now.
