The bug has been confirmed and informed to the devs. Thanks to everyone!!!
Hi all! Im really new to the vtt world, just DM few games using roll20. We use the vtt to combat maps and such, but play in person, roll real dice, etc, so i dont need the whole functionality of the vtts. The ideia was to load one FG using the free version hooked on a TV so everyone can watch and DM on another pc using the full version, while controlling things behind the curtains. One thing that i really wanted was the line of sight from the tokens and maps, to make things more dinamic and cool. I bough FG from steam, and messed a little bit with it, but found a problem that dont let me do the thing that i really wanted to do.
I made a tavern map using the dungeon alchemist demo (wich im considering buying also) and loaded into FG. Made a PC token to test it, and found a problem when moving the token around. When i move the token on the player side it lets me drag the token trough doors, but the GM side dont. As a dm, if i approve the movement, the token on the player side cross the closed door, but the dm version dont, so the token stays on two different places. As the token is on the other room the token of the player side gets vision from the other room, wich shoudnt be possible. The LOS from the door works just fine, as long as i dont drag the token trough. I tried to deny the movement sugested from the free version that goes trough the closed door, and set the new position trying to stop the token just in front of the closed door, preventing it from going trough, but the token goes to the position proposed on the free version and returns to position defined on the full version, again showing the room. Thats a deal breaker for me, as the LOS thing is the thing i wanted, but it seems really odd that this happens. Does anyone got the same problem or knows how to fix it? As i have no experience with FG and dungeon alchemist i really cant say if its a problem with one or the other. I checked the LOS thing on FG and the door was set as door, as it halted the full vesion token from going trough it.
Edit: made a screenshot side by side comparing what happened on GM and player sides https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ju7qdZkr7duTMMpN8dKn7RNbwhxgNQgX8yrMwHluqIQ/edit?usp=sharing
