- How do I prevent similar NPCs from being grouped together when I drag an encounter onto the Combat Tracker?
- How do I measure distances in a map?

Thanks!

Change the Auto NPC initiative option from "Group" in the campaign options: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/...ombat_.28GM.29

Thank you again as usual, Trenloe! You're frigging awesome.

Trenloe - I'm not seeing "Add: Auto NPC initiative" in my options panel. I'm using the Savage Worlds SWADE ruleset.

I think that's a thing in Savage Worlds; that NPCs of the same type are grouped together. Isn't that a rule or something? Long time since I played SW.

Zach: you're right! Thank you. Extras get 1 action card.

The thing is the Groups folder keeps closing every time a new actor is advanced. This is what urks me the most because I can't even tell which one of the Extra's is attacking, when the Group folder is closed up.

If anyone can tell me how I can work around this, I'd be so grateful

Added a video explaining how the Line of Sight feature works during gameplay.

I believe I saw a post in the SWADE ruleset thread that this has been reported as a bug. Don't remember a work around.
