Target Tree

Target Tree is an advanced module for Foundry VTT that allows you to create, visualize, and manage highly customizable target trees. It’s ideal for Game Masters and players who want to represent hierarchies, influence networks, NPC relationships, organizations, investigations, or any other interconnected information within the game world.

With an intuitive visual interface and a full suite of editing tools, Target Tree lets you:

• Create custom trees with any number of nodes, configurable with images, sizes, descriptions, and visibility settings.
• Establish connections between nodes with customizable colors, curves, line styles, and statuses.
• Use a visual editor with drag-and-drop support for actors directly onto the canvas.
• Control individual node visibility for players.
• Manage all trees from a central interface for easy creation, editing, viewing, and deletion.
• Sync via socket, ensuring that changes made by GMs are reflected in real-time for all users.

Perfect for representing:

• Secret organizations, clans, guilds, or social networks
• Family trees or genealogical structures
• Clue trees or investigative paths
• Evolution systems or learning progressions

Target Tree supports multiple simultaneous trees and integrates natively with Foundry’s actor system, offering a powerful and versatile tool to visually enhance your campaigns.
