5E - Token Height Indicator

[MrDDT]

The arrow is not showing the correct distance for me. It isn't taking height into account at all. I just started using this extension, so doubled checked the front page to ensure it is supposed to affect the arrow.

Tested with no other extensions. 5E.

Thanks

It's working great for me.

Thanks. I figured out my problem. I wasn't selecting the target, which is obvious now, but I initially thought just drawing an arrow from one token to another would show the range. So never mind, working as intended.

Thanks for the update (and for the confirmation, MrDDT). Glad it's working!

Good evening, I just became aware of this extension and could really put it to good use. I am using the Gurps Ruleset, which is based on Morecore, I believe.

I'm having an issue where for short distances to the target, the total displacement gets reduced. Please see the attached screenshots.

I wonder if there's a strange rounding thing (maybe with hexes). Can you set the measurement on the map to raw and tell me the value?

Hi, I just downloaded and started using the extension (it sounds wonderful) and have a couple of questions on how it functions. Is the height indication that shows on the token supposed to be visible to players and GM alike regardless of who sets the value? I have it set so that players can set their own height. But what I heard from my players is that they were unable to hold Left-alt and use the scroll wheel to change the value. I as the GM had no issues setting the height on any token. There were a couple of players that reported they were able to set their height after I manually changed it on their token. But I was unable to see their changes on the token as the GM. This is a 5E campaign. Please let me know if you need any more information on this.

When I set it to raw, things calculate correctly. But once I turn raw off, things start to get screwy. I'm sorry, but I don't have the time today to troubleshoot with you. It seems like the behavior is a bit different when the target is directly north-south or east-west of the targeting token, compared to when the tokens are at other angles to each other.

Everyone should be visible, regardless of who sets the value. Did you already have the token in the combat tracker and the map when you first used the extension? Sometimes you have to re-add to one or both after an update. If not, do you have any other extensions loaded?

I'm actually seeing that myself right now - I'll take a look (may be a bit, as just leaving for vacation for a week).

No worries. The next time you do use it, please let me know the exact value of the raw measurements (was it 5.0 or something a little less?). With it working north/south and east/west, I imagine it has something to do with the grid, and that'll help. No hurry.

Thanks GK. I did have the chars on the tracker already. I’ll re-add everything fresh and check things. Enjoy the vacation!

Ah, I see what happened. I was a little overzealous in my optimization in the last update. Testing a fix now (which I'll make better post-vacation).
