How can I add dynamic environmental effects like fire or fog to my battle maps?
Bring your battle maps to life with TT-RPG's Effects System, allowing you to overlay transparent environmental elements like crackling fires, swirling mists, or magical auras. These dynamic effects can dramatically enhance the atmosphere of your encounters and provide visual cues for spells or environmental hazards.
To add an effect, open your map in the editor and navigate to the 'Effects' browser. From there, you have two powerful options:
- Browse the Community Library: Explore a vast collection of pre-made effects shared by other GMs.
- Generate with AI: Create a brand new effect tailored to your needs. Simply click 'Create New Effect', provide a Name and a detailed Description of the visual effect (e.g., "A magical shimmering aura around a pedestal" or "Thick, rolling fog covering the swamp"), and select an Art Style. The AI will then generate a transparent overlay for you. Note: Each AI effect generation costs 1 credit.
Once you have your desired effect, simply drag and drop it from the browser onto your map. You have full control to resize, rotate, and adjust its opacity to blend seamlessly with the scene. You can even layer multiple effects to create complex and immersive environments. All placed effects are synced in real-time to your players' screens during a live session, ensuring everyone experiences the same dynamic environment. Experiment with different combinations to set the perfect mood for your encounters!
