Turn a mass selection of terrain or objects into a single creature

What Feature would you like to see included within TaleSpire?

I’ve seen a lot of users building custom creatures, vehicles, and many other composites out of terrain/objects that would greatly benefit from being able to turn them into a single miniature.

What situations would this Feature be useful?

The sky is the limit. Custom creatures and vehicles made out of terrain and objects that have all the Talespire features given to regular minis. Instead of needing to select, cut, and paste a composite you made, you could simply turn the entire selection into a single creature.

One example from a one shot I did was a magical bridge that had several floating, composite sections. The party activated a device that reconstructed the bridge piece by piece at the top of each round. Mid-combat I was selecting, copying, and pasting the pieces back into a complete bridge. If they were single creatures, I could have easily moved them.

By implication, this feature would allow for much easier access to certain parts of the terrain being hideable without the need for a hide volume. I love the hide volumes, but there are certain scenarios they aren’t as ideal. An example: You could make a gate into a single creature (add HP and AC stats if you like). If it’s destroyed during a siege, the gate could easily be removed with the hide or kill options.

Additional Synergistic Features

1. It seems like the ability to toggle the visibility of a model’s base (without having to use flying mode) would be very helpful alongside this.

2. It would be helpful to be able to toggle off the flying jostling animation for floating objects you want to remain static. This would make movable terrain and dynamic battlefields so much more feasible. Dynamic battlefields being a more obtainable feature would send this VTT over the edge in a good way.

3. Being able to toggle off the flight feature’s visible “stand” would also be very helpful.

4. A toggle in the right-click menu for each creature to allow it to pass through terrain would also be very helpful.
