Importing from MATT

Right-click a scene in the Scenes sidebar and choose Convert MATT to Glyph. Only a GM sees this option, and only on a scene with at least one Tile carrying Monk’s Active Tile Triggers data. Monk’s Active Tile Triggers itself doesn’t need to be installed or active; Glyph reads the data already stored on the Tiles.

Choosing it opens a review dialog covering every MATT tile on that scene at once; there’s no way to convert a subset. Nothing is written to the world until you click Commit.

Review dialog

Every converted MATT action gets one of four statuses:

Status	Meaning
OK	Converted with no change in behavior.
Partial	Converted, but check the note; the behavior is close but not identical, or something was dropped.
Needs Review	Couldn’t convert. A stub Macro stands in, for you to write by hand.
Skipped	Left out on purpose; the action had no effect to reproduce, or it could never run in the converted chain.

A tile with nothing but OK statuses shows as a single checked row. Any other status expands the tile into a list of notes, each shown next to the original MATT data it came from. Tiles needing attention are listed first.

A Tile with no visible texture, and nothing in its own converted chain still pointing at it, is marked as an invisible marker. It’s deleted rather than kept and linked.

Committing

Clicking Commit creates the Regions, closes the dialog, and reports how many Regions were created and how many actions need manual review.

For each converted Tile, Glyph creates one Region on the scene, named after the Tile, or “MATT Import” if the Tile had no name. The Region is shaped to the Tile’s bounds, or traced to its image if the Tile had MATT’s Use Alpha option set. It holds one trigger behavior with the converted program. A Tile MATT had marked inactive converts to a disabled trigger.

The source Tile is kept and set as the trigger’s Linked Tile if it’s visible, or if the converted program still targets it directly. Otherwise the Tile is deleted, and any Tagger tags it carried move to the Region instead. A kept Tile’s Monk’s Active Tile Triggers data stays on the document, unused. A Tile with a MATT image list keeps that list, now readable by Change Tile Image.

An action with no automatic conversion becomes a stub Macro named “MATT import: <action>”, holding the original MATT action data in a comment to work from. The trigger’s program calls that Macro in its place.

A Teleport Token action whose destination was a point, a Tile, or a Scene creates a new Region named “Teleport Destination” on the target scene, sized to match. A destination that named a Tagger tag needs no new Region.

Committing deletes the source Tiles it doesn’t keep. Back up the world first if you want a way back to the original MATT setup.

MATT settings

These tile-level settings carry straight over. See Trigger Configuration for what each field does.

MATT setting	Glyph field
Restriction	Restricted Tokens
Controlled	Restricted To
Chance	Chance
Minimum Required	Minimum Required
Cooldown	Cooldown
Per Token	Once Per Token
Vision	Requires Vision
Allow Paused	Allow When Paused
Use Alpha	Trace Tile Image

MATT’s Pointer setting has no Glyph field; Glyph already shows a pointer cursor over any Region listening for a click or hover event.

Trigger types

MATT trigger	Glyph event
Enter	Token Enters
Exit	Token Exits
Enter or Exit	Token Enters and Token Exits
Create	Token Created Inside
Movement	Token Moves Within
Movement Stops	Token Moves In and Token Moves Within, once the token’s movement has ended
Elevation	Token Moves Within, only when elevation changed
Rotation	Token Rotates Inside
Click, Right Click, Double Click, Double Right Click	Clicked, Right-Clicked, Double-Clicked, Double-Right-Clicked
Hover In, Hover Out, Hover	Pointer Hovers In, Pointer Hovers Out, or both
Combat Start	Combat Starts
Combat End	Combat Ends

Turn	Combat Turn Starts
Turn End	Combat Turn Ends
Ready	Scene Loads
Darkness	Scene Darkness Changes
Lighting	Canvas Lighting Changes
Time	World Time Changes
Door	Whichever of Nearby Door Opens, Closes, Locks, or Unlocks the walls pointing at this Tile enable
Manual	No event; runs on demand

See Events for what each of these fires. Combat Start and Combat End fire once for the whole encounter, with no triggering token. A converted chain built around “the current token” needs a collection in its place instead.

Every converted trigger can be run on demand, through an @Trigger link, Trigger Another Region, or a macro, regardless of its trigger types. See Running Triggers. The Tile HUD’s Run Trigger button only appears if Manual was one of the Tile’s own trigger types.

After importing

Open every stub Macro Glyph created and rebuild the action from the comment left inside it. Open every trigger the dialog flagged Partial or Needs Review and read its note.
