[Feature]: Allow GM to Lock Overlays.
Feature Request
A GM might want to use the overlay feature to display somethings on a client that they don't want the client to be able to toggle off.
The Solution you'd like
For overlay function consistency (i.e. setOverlayVisible) a setOverlyLock() function would probably do the trick:
Usage
setOverlayLock(name, visible)
Parameters
name - Overlay name.
lock - A 1 or 0 to lock the overlay visibility toggle in the Windows>Overlays navigation menu.
Alternatives that you've considered.
No response
Additional Context
My use-case for this was to be able to slowly darken a player's screen due to certain events. It's a great effect, but if players can toggle the overlay on and off at will they can subvert it (like giving them a toggle switch for FoW.)
