Token Aura Ring

A simple module for Foundry VTT which adds outlined aura rings to a token.

How token aura rings appear to the game master

Inspired by the Token Auras add-on.

About

This Foundry VTT module allows you to add and customise outlined aura rings around a token, ideal for cleanly representing the range of aura type effects without obscuring the map.

Aura rings are calculated as an emanation, based on the Pathfinder 2nd Edition rules.

This means that the range of the aura ring is calculated from the edge of the token, instead of the centre.

How token aura rings appear to players

Visibility of aura rings are obscured by fog-of-war, and hidden entirely when the viewing player is unable to see the token from which the aura rings are being emitted.

Hidden tokens will only show their aura rings to the game master.

Installation

Either search for and install this module within Foundry VTT, or copy this address into the Manifest URL bar:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AnthonyEdmonds/token-aura-ring/main/module.json

Usage

Once enabled, you can add and configure aura rings from the "Aura Ring" tab on any token settings page.

An example of a token aura ring configuration

From there you can set the radius, colour, opacity, weight, and visibility of the aura ring.

Multiple aura rings

You can add as many auras to a single token as you like by pressing the "Add a new aura" button at the bottom of the settings tab.

To remove an aura ring, set the radius to zero, the visibility to "NONE", or press the "Delete" button.

Angled aura rings

You can adjust the "Direction" and "Angle" settings to create arcs instead of circles.

An example of a token with arcs instead of circles

The "Direction" setting rotates the arc around the token.

The "Angle" setting determines how much of the arc to draw.

Arcs are drawn relative to the top of the token, where a direction of "0" is considered facing forward.

The arc is centralised around its direction, where an angle of "90" would have 45 degrees on either side.

When you rotate the token the arc will rotate with it.

Setting the "Angle" to "360" will draw a complete circle.

Issues

This module may not work with game systems or addons which already implement their own token auras.

If you encounter any problems, raise a ticket on Github and I'll take a look.
