Segmentable Ruler

A ruler for measuring segmented paths

How it works

Setup

Install the extension
Make sure the extension is enabled in the room in which you wish to use it
Select the Segmentable Ruler tool in the toolbar or use the shortcut Z

Making a measurement

To begin measuring, click a token or an empty spot on the map
To add ruler segments, click spots on the map
To remove a segment, press Backspace, Delete, or the Remove Segment button at the top of your screen
To finish a measurement, double click on the map, press Enter, or press the Confirm button at the top of your screen

Clearing rulers

A player's ruler is automatically cleared when the switch to a different tool
You can manually clear your ruler by clicking the trash icon at the top of your screen. When a player with GM access clicks this button, it will clear all rulers, not just their own

Features

Allows for complex paths with many segments to be measured
Easy to create new segments and remove unwanted segments
Works with all grid and measurement types
Hides measurements for hidden tokens
Allows you to make measurements privately
Holding ctrl while starting a measurement prevent tokens from being moved
Rulers check that players have the correct permissions before moving tokens

Limitations

Doesn't show measurement value to other users properly while measuring

Feature Requests

I may accept feature requests but - as I have limited time and development plans of my own - being a paid member on Patreon is your best path to getting a feature implemented.
