API
 | This is about a Roll20 feature exclusive to Pro-subscribers (and often to players in a Game created by a Pro-subscriber). If you'd like to use this feature, consider upgrading your account. |
- TokenMod supports this from version 0.8.74
- ex.
!token-mod --flip lockMovement(flips the lock-status of selected tokens, so unlocked tokens get locked, and locked tokens can move again)
- ex.
There are two API that can kinda achieves a token lock(created before Token Lock was released as a feature), but neither does truly stop tokens from being moved, but rather resets their position after moving, so if Dynamic Lighting is active, neither API prevents users from revealing a bit more than wanted.
| Other workarounds that are less practical |
Another option is boxing in Tokens with Windows (Dynamic Lighting), using Script:DoorKnocker or UDLWindows(Forum). This will prevent token movement by players if "Restrict Movement" is turned on.
For GMs who want to prevent players from moving too far on the map on their own out-of-turn, they could segment the map into "sections", by placing Windows blocking movement further in, while not blocking sight. Could be used for starting a cut-scene, and stopping players from accidentally revealing too much of what's further in. |
