Foundry VTT measurement module
Instant Range
A Foundry VTT module that shows distance from a controlled token to hovered and targeted tokens.
Instant Range highlights hovered tokens and instantly shows the distance from your controlled token to another token. It helps players and GMs quickly check whether a token is in near or far range, or whether a potential spell target is just out of reach.
Features
- Global setting aware: follows the world settings for diagonal measurement.
- Scene grid aware: uses each scene’s grid scale for distance and units.
- Height aware: accounts for token elevation while respecting scene grid settings.
- System agnostic: reports distance from selected token to hovered token without assuming game rules.
- Alt-key integration: works alongside Foundry’s built-in token highlighting behavior.
- Targeting integration: targeted tokens continue to show their distance while targeted.
Settings
The GM can enable or disable use outside combat.
The refresh throttle limits how often distance labels refresh during panning or source-token movement. Lower values feel smoother. Higher values can help when measuring distance to many tokens in large scenes.
