Adding MBL to a VBL?

Post by Hatta00 »

I have a VBL that I'd like to add MBL to. Is there a way to draw MBL and only keep it where it intersects with VBL?

You should be able to draw over it to add MBL, but by default VBL (now known as Wall) includes movement blocking.

That's not the behavior I'm seeing. When I generate a VBL on a token, and move that to the map, all I get is vision blocking.

I was able to figure this out though. This macro did the trick for me.

[h:rectangle = '{"shape":"rectangle","x":0,"y":0,"w":3000,"h":3000,"fill":1,"thickness":1,"scale":0}']
[r:mblData = getVBL(rectangle , 0)]

[drawMBL(mblData)]

You didn't mention it was on a token. Version 1.12 beta will allow mbl as well as the other vbl types to be put on a token. Tokens also have the blocking option for movement in the config so tokens can't move through their space.
