Automating Foundry: Monk's Active Tile Triggers Basics

If you've used our maps, or seen our videos then you probably know just how much we love the Monk's Active Tile Triggers module for Foundry Virtual Tabletop. It's an amazing tool for creating interactive elements, customizable images, teleportation, and even scene-wide controls, but it can be a bit intimidating to get started with. Today we're going to get back to basics with Automating Foundry by covering the ins and outs of MATT from the ground up. We'll cover some overarching principles, all of the settings, an introduction to actions, and images. Join us as we dive into one of our favorite modules and let us know what you'd like to go even more in depth on in this over-explained installment of MATT 101.
