The purpose of this is to enable players to interact with tokens on the object layer. By default, maptool does not allow interaction to tokens in other layers. But with this funtionality you can let players interact with lights for example that are placed on the object layer.
A light token has been provided in the DM page. Copy and paste this token to act as your stationary lights. The token has the some useful macros.
- Snap to grid
- Light: Select the appropriate light source.
- Interact: This turns on/off the light.
- Send to Hidden: The hidden layer still sheds light, so you can light your maps without having the tokens visible.
Note: The interact macro only searches the object layer and tokens that are not hidden using 'Visible to Player' setting. If you want interaction and the light to be hidden, you have to use the opacity setting.
This searches for interactable tokens nearby the PC/NPC and uses their interact macro. So in the case of lights, it will turn on and off neaby lights. By default it searches only 5ft around the PC/NPC.
