About Face is a module for FoundryVTT that changes a token's direction based on movement. It also provides optional "facing" indicators for tokens.
Simply use the install module screen within the FoundryVTT setup
Two options are available in the game settings module config. Otherwise, with everything enabled:
- Move your token!
- Hold SHIFT and using your W,A,S,D or ↑,←,↓,→ you can change the direction your token is facing without moving
- Assumes the token default facing direction is "down". Other artwork may respond differently.
- This has only been tested with square grids (not hexes) and uses 45 degree snapping for tokens.
- Tokens don't change directions immediately (takes a movement for updateToken to start firing)
- Have experienced an issue where locking a token makes it unusable until refresh
- Direction indicators are created using the other players' colors. Because of the way drawing works, players will need to refresh after connecting in order to see all the colors *BUG
- Unsure if 'facing' state carries from one session to another.
- May need to refresh if redrawing the scene or moving tokens to a new scene. *should be fixed
- Refresh Foundry VTT webpage
- You can lock tokens by either double-clicking and selecting the token icon from the hud or accessing from the character sheet. The option you're looking for is "Lock Rotation" under the "Position" tab.
- Support for tokens whose art faces a different direction by default
- Different / Configurable indicators
- Dynamic color-adjusting indicators based on the scene/tile
Assistance from several Discord users, including @Forien and @Stan. Accepting translations for the few config options.
