bringToFront() Function

Adjust the z order (or draw order) of the Token so that is is drawn after all other Tokens on the same Map Layer, this has the effect of making the Token appear to be in front of the other Tokens as it will obscure other Tokens on the same Map Layer in the same location.

As of 1.3.b63 there appears to be a bug in which token states are not rendered properly after calling sendToBack or bringToFront. As a work-around, macros should change the token ordering first, then turn states on or off.

Usage

Parameter
