Hidden Token Not hidden when clicked by player
Hello,
When I place a token on a map and set the visibility to always visible, initially the player can't see it. If they click on the square where the token is, they can see it.
Ruleset is 5E.
What I'm doing to see this:
Basic battle map (Battlemap01 from FG Battle Maps)
Open NPCs and selected a simple trap
Drag the token icon from the trap NPC to the map
Right click the trap on the map and set it to always invisible
Place character token on the map and share the map
Switch to player session
Click on the area where the trap is located and it appears
The only lighting I changed was to disable lighting
What I've realized I should do:
I created an encounter, and placed the trap within the encounter
I then placed the trap on the map from the encounter
Closed the encounter and the map cleared, as expected
Opened the encounter, and clicked the button to add the token to the map/combat tracker
By default the token is hidden and no amount of clicking on the player session will make it show.Last edited by Sabrosa; May 7th, 2022 at 03:11.

In the first example, did you ever put the trap into the combat tracker, or did you just drag from the NPC list to the map? If you do the former, it should work correctly as it will have a faction. If you do the latter, player's can see it as it is just a token, and not an NPC.

DCrumb is correct, tokens should (almost) always be dragged from the CT to the map and not from anywhere else. There are a few exceptions, but when in doubt, drag from the CT.

Thanks guys. I just got caught up throwing a map together and didn't think to put the token on the CT. Works a charm when it's done right!

Thanks for the report.
By default, tokens which are added to map outside of combat tracker are considered public tokens for moving, but without public vision.
It appears that there is a bug, where tokens that are marked as not visible but with public edit can be interacted with on the player side.
I'll file a ticket for our image developer to look at.
