activating hidden NPCs
Next actor skips the hidden NPC's. Usually a good thing, but how do you activate such a hidden NPC? The PC takes it's turn, the hidden NPC is who is next in line is skipped, because it's hidden. But what if this NPC is supposed to act? If I make it visible first the player will react to it, which isn't my intention. How to solve this? I now either announce to wait before clicking next action, or do some fiddling with initiative so the NPC is the next actor. Is there a previous actor button, or an "stop skipping this NPC option"? Something else?

Yes, there is an option to skip hidden actors which can be on or off. It sounds like you currently have it on so go into options and switch it off.
If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

Just act when you are ready to.
Dont worry about what the tracker says.

The option affects all NPCs. If that's not what you want, after the player is done, go ahead and reveal the NPC and then change the current action by clicking or dragging the indicator. If the next character is fast on acting, just tell them to wait.

You can drag the indicator or just click on the dot to set the creature active.
