    Reveal/Hide Fog of War?

    Is there a way to reveal or hide portions of the map in their "Fog of War" mask-sensitive mode?

    E.G.: I want to reveal the Exit of a map while the PCs are at the Start. I want the area to be dimmed out (it's a place they cannot see now) with the Fog, but visible.

    E.G.: I forgot to SHIFT while Dragging a character's token, which revealed far too much of the map. Can I reset ONLY a specific area (and not the entire map)?

    Basically, to act just like the Mask tool, but for FoW instead.

    If yes, how do I go about this?

    You can right click on token > Visibility > Reset LoS; but you can't reset it or fill it back in like you can with the mask. You can't manually reveal an area of LoS either. You need to have a token in the area for the LoS to work. I suppose you could place one of the party members tokens in the area you want and then move it back.

    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

    Well damn. Revealing won't be too much of a pain, just gotta work a l'il extra with LoS walls (Maybe make the area surrounded by a Toggleable Wall).

    That first bit, though, re-masking FoW, I was kind of really hoping for, especially for some of my more labyrinthine maps. I guess I'll have to resort to re-mapping it as individual characters after resetting FoW for those I screw up with. XD
