Encounters & Maps

[L4wful3vil]

I'm very much new to FGU so please forgive my ignorance. How do I view which map an encounter was created for? In my list of encounters, I don't see which map I used to place my NPC's for that encounter. I saw a video that showed an 'enhanced' encounters screen that showed that info but I don't see how to enable that as well.

Welcome to the forums.

The short answer is that you can't see from an encounter which map that the encounter is for. You can place the encounter (using the down arrow at the bottom of the encounter window) and this will add the NPCs to the map and to the Combat Tracker. If you then double click on the token of any of the NPCs on the combat tracker it will pop up the map that the NPC is on.

Generally, though, you don't need to know what map the encounter is on because you would would create a story entry for the encounter; link the map and the encounter to that story entry and then link the story entry to the map. If you have a look at video five here that might help you understand how adventures are put together. https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?55797-How-do-I-in-Unity

If you are comfortable using extensions, Mad Nomads enhanced encounter extension will link the encounter with the map as well. See https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/141/view

If you are making your own adventures, I strongly suggest you take a look at the link in my signature about Adventure Creation. There is lots of info in there, and in Mr. Z's videos, that will help you shorten the adventure creation learning curve as well as avoid some annoying missteps.
