Everyday, I think "How do I do this in Foundry?". Everyday, you teach me like 30 new things. Thanks for all your work. I love your modules and your tutorials.
Monk's token bar works really well with this too, allowing for tiles to send roll requests, including conditionals if a person beats a DC etc. It also let you choose the movement type as well for tokens.
@@norwaypete As long as you have both Active Tile Triggers and Monks Token Bar installed then it adds a couple couple extra actions that can be triggered. It let's you specify the skill and the DC and whether or not beating the dc does anything else. It may not work for every system, but I know PF2e and DnD5e both work fine
@@Baileywiki So the very first thing I did was custom make single step SFX on a wooden surface. I really wanted to tokens to hear the dock as they walked across it. I made 5-10 step SFX and then had each square trigger a different one as they walked across. I also set up a similar stone rubble sound effect around a rubble pile. At the very top of the pile I put the loudest rubble sound and it had co-trigger a notification letting the token owner know "They are in difficult terrain! (-5 Speed)" Currently, everything appears to be working as GM but when I test as a player the sounds dont trigger. Troubleshooting as we speak.
Wow. That's immersive! Make sure you refresh your scene for the player... And that you have a GM logged in at the same time. Use an incognito browser session for your player.
@@Baileywiki After this comment I learned how to properly launch the game via browser link. I did not realize you could host it on your lan without a server - very refreshing and easy to test now! Everything works great! Do you think having this many tiles in one scene will pose a performance threat? I am very new to this and dont know how much "draw" these resources will have
Another idea I have is to set up a trigger for if someone walks off an edge into a pit - falling sound/notification "you fell down" and maybe add in an auto roll of 1d4 damage. I only want the trigger to occur at the high elevation moving down and not when people are at the bottom looking up.. Not sure how to do that yet.
Awesome, love your work. I discovered monk's stuff recently, so excited to use this in my Halloween game next week to really make things bump in the night. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble with the more advanced options, gonna have to figure it out, so really can't wait until your advance tutorial! lol
@@Baileywiki Well, an effect that activate minute after entering an area, prompting a saving throw or altering a player every hour until a condition is met. A chance that one or more players will see, hear, or "feel" something creepy via roll table(?) in a certain area. and I like to see if an npc can send a chat message triggered from player interaction.
Those are active tiles, which are a set of tiles I made and are available in my premium modules. You can pick them up along with the entire library for a single month subscription starting at the Foundry Basic level on my Patreon. They are quite effective for putting anything smart in your scene, hiding them from the player view.
@@Baileywiki Thanks for the really quick reply! That's (2:04) actually as far as I've gotten in the video (need to watch the rest of it, but things happen.. lol), and I plan to watch the rest of it as soon as I can. This turned up in a search for ways of using Monk's Active Tiles (which I've installed - new to Foundry so I've been slowly learning and adding modules that look like they'll help with various things). I'm looking forward to the rest of this video. To be sure I'm understanding you right - I can pay the $8 tier, download the assets, and then cancel so it doesn't charge me again, is that correct? (I'm on rather severely limited income, so I can't afford recurring charges, sorry!) Thanks again, and I'm looking forward to watching the rest of this video soon! 👍 Edit: I see on the page that it lists what I just described, so that works for me. 😉 Thanks again, I've subscribed and am not trying to find where to download it. 🤣
This module is awesome. I'm trying to do a city scene and have npc tokens move about, but they do so in sequence. Do you know if there is a setting to have them move all at once?
Hi, I love the style of your maps, assets and tokens especially on this video. Are they all part of your Patreon or are the tokens and assets from other patreons like Tom Cartos?
I've been trying to find a video that talks about something rather simple, just doing an open and closing door tile. I figured it'd be here in the basic walkthrough, but I can't seem to find anything relevant. Your tutorials are awesome, but pretty advanced, do you have one that covers something like that open/close door? I've tried activating and deactivating two differently positioned tiles, though I've also seen rotation of a tile with alter is also an option, but none of them seem to work.
If you've watched my Automating Foundry series, you should have a pretty solid foundation to figure it out. Beyond that, videos can't cover every scenario, so your best best resource is Ironmonk's Discord. I'm there all the time and it's very helpful. In this case, there have been changes to the wall/door action that I'm sure will work for you. At least, they are design to.
@@Baileywiki Thanks. Would you be able to share a link with his Discord server? I was actually getting a semblance of something working but it's still not fully functional.
I don't now if you will answer this as I haven't become a patreon -- but I've tried to set up MAT like you did and it will only execute the top command (toggle between two visuals) on activation. How do you get all the commands to play?
Would it be possible to make it so players opening a door would activate a trap or trigger a tile? I know their are tiggers that open or close doors doors auto magically but I was wondering if a door an act as an activation trigger
When I cast fog cloud it puts a tile of fog down. I was trying to edit so when a token is inside of it, their vision changesd. I tried the "alter" option but did not work. Any thoughts on that one?
Im trying to make a very simple thing. I want PCs to walk up an alley and as the go, mistical lights flare up at the sides. (recreating that famous Chrono Trigger Magus scene). I tried to do this by increasing the darkness in the scene as the move up, and using Darkness activation range on the lights themselves. But when i entered Foundy from a PCs view, i get a "User lacks permision ti update scene" error message. Can i get any help here?
Ask at Ironmonk's Discord and they can sort you out quickly. Personally, I would put a series of hidden active tiles along the path. Each tile, upon enter by any token, would activate corresponding lights.
@@Baileywiki Hi again. After the last update (Version 1.0.48) a new option has appeared, the "Filter by Attributes" and I believe we could finally check the Passive Perception. I couldn't find a way to make it work, but it's a good start. :)
Is there anyway that you can prototype interactions between tiles with token attacher and have them correctly reference the linked tiles when creating new instances of that interaction?
For some reason this module is giving me two problems. First: When I drag some tile image it doesnt go with the mouse, it stays in place until i drop. Second: some weird interaction with the visible/invisible, some images go invisible when i interact with it. Someone knows how to solve any of this problems? Obs.: Used find the culprit, is 100% this module, sadly :/
Thank you very much for this vidéo. I'm delight to enhance my games with this powerful module, and your video is so nice to apprehend it. Your tiles presented are perfect. Where can we get them ? A french GM
Those tiles are something I created along with all of the other map assets that you see in my videos. All of it is available from my patreon if you sign up for just one month. There is a link in the video description! The tiles you are referencing I call "active tiles" and they are in my Modular Towns module.
I almost never play with the combat actions, but I've seen a lot of them, including triggers for the beginning or end of combat. If you're asking if you can daisy chain different tiles, then I imagine you could use one of those combat triggers to trigger the first tile, and have the last action of that tile be to activate (not trigger) the next tile, and so on. Then just let the combat rounds do the triggering.
@@Baileywiki yes thats exactly what i did but I wanted to deactivate the second tile after it plays the animation so it wont run on the second turn and the "deactivate" action does not seem to work
@Baileywiki, I'm curious how you might create an active tile trigger for giving a player control of a "ballista turret" token or tile while they are physically on the ballista tile, then remove their access to the token as they exit said tile. Any ideas would be appreciated!
I found swear there is a proximity check that's now available. I would create a Control Token for the ballista (using Token Attacher module) such that an attack can be launched with it, and I can reuse the prefab later. I have an animated cannon that I've been tinkering with to the same end.
@@Baileywiki I must be missing the proximity check. I found a workaround that seems to be freezing my game up (hardware is excellent, so it's not that). What I'm doing is having a small tile that covers the same space as the ballista token, and configures permissions for the player to become "owner" of that ballista tile. Then a larger tile that encompasses the smaller tile, that upon exit then removes permissions. For some reason, having the smaller "on" tile inside the larger "off" tile is causing issues. I might make a weird polygonal tile that wraps the smaller one without overlap, and see if that helps.
Hi there! I am brand new to Foundry and I've been trying to learn some stuff. I found your video after looking at a different module that triggers things. This looks more like what I want, so thank you. I wanted to ask if this module is system flexible? I mean, is it dedicated to 5E or could I use it with PF2E? I also skimmed your personal Paetron page because I was impressed with the clarity of this video. are the materials you provide there also system flexible? In case I want to patronize ? (I should say agnostic, but.. )
Indeed, everything I do is game system agnostic, whenever possible. I can't think of anything that might have a dependency, in fact. You'll have to ask the Active Tiles developer (Ironmonk) where he has any system dependencies, since it's not my module and I don't test it across systems. But it's pretty flexible from what I've seen.
@@Baileywiki I'm watching this Foundry Basics: Scenes video you recently put up. Exactly the sort of stuff I'm looking for. Not that I (or anybody else) will always want basic videos but this one of the better start videos have watched.
Is it just the random videos I’ve seen from yourselves … but does Bailey actually exist? Coz they haven’t voiced a video I’ve seen yet (in my admittedly small sampling of videos)
Everyday, I think "How do I do this in Foundry?". Everyday, you teach me like 30 new things. Thanks for all your work. I love your modules and your tutorials.

Love it! Nice tip
This is exactly what I need for passive perception when a player gets near a secret door!
Also a great tool for switching between levels in a level battle map when players are on different levels.
hey man any tips on how to do that?

This is crazy in how much can be done. Exactly the kind of tool that makes it easy for everyone.
Right?! I like anything that democratizes the playing field
This is blowing my mind. I just downloaded Foundry the other day and the possibilities are insane.
It feels a bit like having super powers. and no code!
Got any specific ideas percolating?

There is a great mod for that called "Patrols" or something close to that. Allows for schedules, reactions if something is seen and so on.
Great suggestion.also, you can create a "control tile" that activated other tiles simultaneously. Each tile can activate something else, like a token.
Amazing!! Thank you for sharing
