For the Roll20 feature, see Token Lock. (April 2022)

TokenLock allows the GM to selectively prevent players from moving their tokens, by resetting any token movement made by player.

Determination of player tokens is based on whether that token has an entry in the controlled by-field of either the token or the character it represents(this is due to change:graphic-events to not specify who changed the graphic).

If controlled by is empty, the GM can freely move the token at any point. If there is any entry in controlled by, the token can only be moved when TokenLock is unlocked.

• TokenLock Script^(Forum) - use and examples

Behavior

When a token is "locked", a player can still drag their tokens on the map or use the arrow keys, but TokenLock will reset them to the previous position.. So if Explorer Mode is active, players are still able to accidentally reveal more of the map, even if TokenLock is activated.

Moving of player-controlled Cards is still permissible.

Suggestion: Using UDLWindows^(Forum), you could create circles or boxes of DL walls that could block token movement completely, without blocking their vision. Copying these circles, lines or boxes you could then place then on the tokens so they actually can't move.

Commands
