Token position and locking

[Dugahst]

Is it possible to do the following;
1) Make it so tokens are only centered within a grid square? Default they can go halfway (over intersecting grid lines)- i find this frustrating as my players are freaking blind i guess and never center themselves.
2) Disable token rotation (mouse wheel) completely? I find this frustrating when i want to zoom or out quickly and have my cursor accidentally over a token- we never use facing so there is no need for this 'feature'.

1) no, otherwise large tokens could not be placed correctly.
2) not that I know of

I don't think the default is to halfway; I think it's to the nearest point. Tokens snap to the centre of the grid if the token is placed somewhere near the centre of the grid. If you set lock tokens then you need to approve player moves. So if they don't centre the token don't approve the move until they do.

You can add your second suggestion to the wishlist if it isn't there already.

Don't really see why this would make it so large tokens couldnt be placed correctly- they would still be within a space rather than over intersecting lines.

I think you will need to put it on the feature request.
Im guessing more people prefer being able to snap tokens to more places.
Maybe it can be added as an option...

For most d20 based systems "large" tokens occupy 2x2 squares. The screenshot you show is for a 3x3 creature (usually referred to as "huge" in size).

Any creature that takes up an even number of squares - large = 2x2, gargantuan = 4x4 needs to anchor the center of the token to a grid intersection, not the center of the square.

And some RPG systems have "long" tokens - e.g. 1x2 which requires the token to be anchored to the center of a grid side.

Hence why you have the 3 different grid anchors - Center, middle of the side, grid apex.

As this behavior is set in the base imagecontrol XML (read at campaign load) it isn’t possible to have his as an option within the campaign.

An extension could be written that changes the setting.

See the "snapsquare" XML property here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/refdo...xcp#snapToGrid

Looks like correct snapping position should be calculated with dependency on token size.
