getVisible() Function
• Introduced in version 1.3b40
Returns true(1) if the visible to players flag is set on a Token otherwise returns false(0). The visible to players flag has two meanings, on a normal Token players will only be able to see the Token if it is set (when all other things like Fog of War etc are taken into account). If it is a Library Token then it determines if players can call Macros using [macro():].
Usage
Parameter
