My next weird question of the week (as always thanks for your time):

1. I want to create an item that provides light. Is there a way to create the item on GCS give it to a player and then tweak it on Foundry to provide light where it won't erase when new uploads are done.

Please note I'm using the forge so the autoupload doesn't work.

I just helped a friend test Foundry for another system and he showed me the GURPS sheet too. Overall Foundry impresses me more than the others.
Good price point.
Nice documentation
Good features
Good UI.

I really do like the idea of using this for GURPS, though current campaign uses Roll20.

Hmmm, haven't tried it myself, but there's a setting in the System Settings for GGA called "Import: Auto save Foundry Qty/Count" which basically lets you set the quantity or count of an item and not have it overwritten when you import the sheet again. Of course, this applies to all items, but if you don't change their quantity in game then I think they're not flagged and so will update.

I'm still trying to figure out how to make an item be a light source at all. I've only figured out how to make ambient light sources and actors/tokens as light sources.

This is a actually a good question. I haven't done it myself but you should be able to have an OtF macro in the notes of the item that let you essentially switch a light on or off for the token carrying it with a simple click.

From https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...h.qxuc1yha8ax0 and then scroll down a touch:

/light Dim Bright Angle #rrggbb:LightIntensity Anim AnimSpd AnimIntensity
/li off


Dim - Distance (in hexes) that Dim light extends.
Bright - Distance (in hexes) that Bright light extends.
Angle - Angle of light. Defaults to 360.
#rrggbb - Hex representation of the color of light (defaults to white)
LightIntensity = Light Intensity (0.1 to 1.0)
Anim - name of built in Foundry animation (or enough to match name)
AnimSpd - Speed of animation (1-10)
AnimIntensity - Intensity of animation (1-10)

Examples:
/li 6 2
/li 6 2 90
/li 2 1 #ff0000
/li 2 1 #ff0000:0.5
/li 4 1 torch
/li 8 8 fog

Type /light by itself to see the list of animation names.

oh golly I keep asking complicated questions that didn't seem complicated when I thought them up. Thanks Farmer and others I'll once again save that for after my next game.

That's it? 67 pages, 67 pages!!! Not bad for a hobby project ;-)

But in all seriousness, Nick and I spend a lot of time trying to make the Game Aid more useful to players.

That are so many features that we can't really describe them all. Sometimes, you just have to reach out and ask "how would you do this?" and one of our fantastic user community probably already has an answer for you!

I hope you decide to give it a try... we promise you won't be disappointed.

BTW, Have you seen any of the "How to" videos? https://bit.ly/3c02xpa We have 7 different videos currently... with more on the way.

You are both very responsive to queries and requests and feedback - it's awesome, and thank you!
