USEFUL INFO

📌 Good to know 📌

  • Walls can’t be moved, you can only edit their points.

  • Walls block light by default.

  • Editing a Wall in Edit Points mode will remove any Portal placed on it.

  • Using the UVTT format at Export will let you import the file in different VTT programs like Roll20 or FoundryVTT that can read that format. The walls will then be detected and block the players’ movement and sight if your VTT allows it.

  • Since Dungeondraft 1.1.1.1, all the default Walls are available as Paths too.

  • Walls from the Wall Tool don't interact with cave walls from the Cave Tool but walls from the Building Tool do.

KNOWN BUGS

Version: At least from 1.1.0.6 to 1.2.0.0

Bug description: Editing Points on a Wall after placing Portals will often result in some weird behavior.

Workaround: - If the issue is about portals that can't be placed where they should, saving and reopening the map should fix it. - If the issue is making walls go crazy, remove the portals and edit points again.
