How do I stop players from going through walls?

I used to be able to do this with the Dynamic Lighting system, but ever since the update I can't stop players from going through walls in my dungeon. Am I missing something right in front of me or what? Thanks for any help.

The option to have dynamic lighting lines stop movement is on the first tab of the page settings.  Do you have that toggled on?
That did it, thanks!

It's insane that this isn't the default. I bet that dynamic lighting lines represent walls or other impassable barriers 99.9% of the time. Yet the default is off. Not only that, but it's one of the few things where you can't even SET the default in your Game Settings page. Crazy! It's like the only thing that I WANT to set in my Game Settings page! You'll just have to remember to do it. Every...single...time. I'd add a Suggestion to the Suggestions forum, but someone already did this recently and it didn't get traction.

The default is there, but it is buried under the Legacy Dynamic Lighting settings. You have to currently turn Legacy on, turn the setting on, and turn Legacy back off again.

Many people prefer to use them as sight barriers only, freeing the GM from dealing with the tedium of opening doors. The reason it is on a different tab is that it is common to old and new lighting systems. Back when there were two tabs, one for each, this made sense. I have a feeling that when LDL is finally put to rest, the situation will become less confusing.
