Terrain Modifiers...how to use them

Post by xavram »

I dropped an image onto my map and set its terrain modifier for "Block". But tokens move right over it without issue. Is there some special way these have to be set up, different layer, something else?

Wiki says:

Terrain Modifier
... Note that tokens or objects must not be set to Free Size for the terrain modifier to apply to all grid cells it covers.

Ignore Terrain
Tokens can be set to ignore zero or more Terrain Modifier Types (Ctrl-Click for multi-select).

Is the blocking token free-size or have the other tokens been set to ignore terrain?

Sorry to necro, but I'm having this same problem. I have an item on the object layer set to free size, and no terrain modifiers seem to impact token movement across it at all. I've tried multiply with values of 2 and 10000, and I've tried setting the object to blocking. Any advice?

oh geez, I can't read. Must *not* be set to free-size. I've got it.
