[QUESTION] Map pins visible to players?

[Zacchaeus]

Was this from an old campaign? What ruleset? Do you use any kind of cloud storage? Were there any other issues?

Nope, pins are for the GM only.

A basic way to show short info to the players is to add tokens to the map (make them visible) and drag some text onto the token so that the text appears when a player hovers their mouse pointer over the token.

I love that! I just pictured tons of uses for this! Yeah baby!!!

***** I'll say as a player, it would be really nice if each player could drop their own pins on the map. I've been making our own notes of different rooms and my GM/DM has been placing them for me. It really helps for those who get easily confused. Helps give directions, - meet me in the "Garden Room" or the "Torch Room".

I guess I don't see why this is or would be locked down. Yes - I don't want to see the GM/DM pins unless they want me to see them - but would be nice to place my own.

Hi Lander, welcome to FG.

You may get some mileage out of this extension if you take a lot of notes https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...ency-Extension

(Note your DM will need to install it).

I usually create a new pin and click share (so that it turns green), then the players can click it and get whatever information I want to give them, tables, pictures, descriptive text, more links... the options are endless
And if you as a player create a note you can ask the DM to place it as a pin on the map... I use it all the time
