Swarm

Create swarms of monsters and critters that move as one. Rats, bats, ravens, bugs, pretty butterflies or even trolls (who wouldn't want to fight a swarm of trolls?) every token can be made into a swarm.

Installation

Install by searching for swarm in the module browsing tool or manually using this url: https://github.com/oOve/swarm/releases/latest/download/module.json

Useage

Right click any token (or an actors prototype token) and bring up the token config.

• Enable your swarm by checking the box Swarm
• Check the over box to have your swarm fly over other tokens/players or leave it unchecked for under. Bats and crows fly over, whereas spiders under.
• Count is the number of critters in your swarm
• Speed lets you configure the critters individual speeds. Are they moving too fast, reduce this number.
• At last you have a drop-down box where you can choose the swarm animation, see below.

On the next tab: Appearance

• If you are modifying a prototype token, you can enter a wildcard pattern as your image. If enabled as well, your swarm will draw randomly from the wildcard token images.
• Modify the Scale to reduce or increase the size of the individual critters.
• Change the dimensions to create a larger area where the bugs crawl.
• Mirror image if your critters e.g., move backward.
• Reduce the opacity to remove the "large" token

And you should have your swarm ready for action.

Localization

Current support for:

• English -- https://github.com/oOve
• Your language ?

If you want to translate this module, download this file and translate it. After that open an issue sharing your translation. Also share the default name convention for your language. You can find that by either, finding a system or module that is already translated to your language and open its module.json. It should look something like this: "languages": [ { "lang": "en", "name": "English", "path": "lang/en.json" }

Compatibility

Tested on Foundry VTT version 10.
