Light Meter

This is a little Roll20 scriptlet I wrote for characters who have special abilities that are determined by how much light they are in. Drow have sunlight sensitivity, which imposes disadvantage on certain rolls while in bright light. Gloomstalker characters can become invisible invisible to any creature that relies on darkvision to see them while they are in darkness. The Shadow Blade spell grants advantage to attack a target that is in dim light or darkness. And many more. The problem is, it's not always easy to tell if the illumination they have is bright light, dim light, or darkness. This becomes even harder if the character has darkvision, since their personal view will artificially change how they perceive their light. This scriptlet appends a tag to the end of the token's name plate that shows if they are standing in bright light, dim light, or darkness. It will updated automatically whenever the token moves. To activate it on any token, make sure that dynamic lighting is turned on, and that you are on the page with the player flag. Change the name of the token by adding a space and a double asterisk to the end. "Gloomstalker" becomes "Gloomstalker **". Then, whenever you move the token, the tag will update automatically. To stop the script from acting on that token, just edit the token name to remove the tag at the end. Code is on the Roll20 forum and will eventually go into One Click install. https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/11984396/scriptlet-light-meter To function, this script requires that you have already installed the checkLightLevel script by Oosh (thanks for doing the heavy lifting, Oosh!). This script is available in OneClick on your game's mods page.
