Reactions allow GMs to create more opportunities for exploration and interactivity in their scenes, similar to how the Foreground Layer works. Unlike the Foreground Layer, Reaction functionality has been extended to ALL other VTT Layers: Objects & Tokens, Map & Background, GM Info Overlay, Dynamic Lighting, and Foreground. 

Conditional Fade

The first available Reaction is Conditional Fade. Toggling this on allows you to set an opacity % that will be triggered when the selected token* is overlapped by a player or GM-controlled token. It can be used to make things fade, disappear, or appear out of thin air (when combined with a token’s Base Opacity settings).

*Reminder: on Roll20, a “token” doesn’t always represent a Character or NPC. They are any static or animated asset placed on the VTT, like maps, decor, furnishings, and even weather. 

There are two ways to access Reactions: 

• Right-clicking a token
• From the “Advanced” Tab in Token Settings (double-click a token to access) 

The "Foreground Only" Toggle found in Reaction Settings gives you more control over your Conditional Fade options. If, for example, you have Conditional Fade settings on a token but only want them to trigger when that token is on the Foreground Layer (some GMs move things between layers throughout the course of a campaign for various reasons), you would toggle that on.
