I really dig the LoS functions and it's getting pretty darn easy for me to quickly occlude entire dungeons in under 30 min with some refinements taking another 30 min (doorways, secret doors, false walls, and other feature-specific changes). What still seems to be missing is token-centric modifiers to the general occlusion effects and masking. Specifically, I am using this in DnD 5e...
As I am learning more and more about LoS, occlusion, masking and how to use them in combination to create very cool dungeon effects, the one thing I keep thinking about is "How can you use token-centric vision types and range limitations to interact with occlusion and masking to create token-based limited line of sight (with range)?
Further questions arise as well, such as "How can you use masking combined with occlusion to interact with token-linked active light sources, gm-controlled darkness effects (using occluders rather than general masking), etc.?"
Are these types of features in the plan for Unity? If they are already done, who can walk me through how to do this stuff?
Is there any documentation in the wiki I haven't yet found that more deeply explains this stuff?
Directional advice welcome (I am well through the basics.. intermediate to advanced references only please).
Discussion about how others are using occlusion and masking in combos for cool effects even more welcome! (Looking to learn more!)
