[TURN] Messages for Visible CT Actors Hidden

[rocketvaultgames]

This might be intended behavior but I recall these messages showing at some point... (I could definitely be mistaken).

Are clients supposed to see the messages when a turn is passed to an actor that is visible to them in the CT?

Yes, I think they always have seen the turn going round. There are options to not show things like the effects that are on a creature (or to switch those off) but the turn has always been there as has the combat round notification.

My point is that the Players are not seeing the turns pass that I suspect they should (i.e. CT actors visible to them)...

They should not see turns for invisible actors. But should see them for visible actors. Isn't that what your screen shots are showing?
edit: the wolves are all showing invisible.

It's possible I'm misunderstanding something here, but it seems like the Client never sees the [TURN] messages for hidden nor unhidden actors:

I contend that they should see the [TURN] messages for actors that they can see in the CT, but that is not how it is working currently as far as I can tell in a new 5e campaign with no extensions.

Are you sure the wolves are marked visible on the CT? I can't make it out from the video and the chat message for the GM shows the hidden icon. So I assume they are marked hidden on the CT...
There might also be some GM options that impact this...
But I do agree, that if they are shown int he CT and there are no options saying otherwise, I would think they would show up on the chat for players.

Ah, I misunderstood. I did some testing and it doesn't seem that characters are seeing when it's an enemy turn in chat; only friendly characters seem to get output to chat. I'm also noticing that when NPCs are visible in the CT I'm getting the crossed eye icon which means that the output is being hidden from players. I suspect that is probably why the NPCs aren't being shown; and I think that also isn't expected behaviour.

I just pushed a quick fix that will display turn notification as long as CT entry is visible.
