[Script] Dancing Light API - dim light distance?

Hello, I found a video discussing a script to create a token for spiritual weapon and it worked great.&nbsp; I'm trying to create one for dancing lights with the same setup and I have it working all the way to the dim light distance.&nbsp; I was able to enable low light in the dynamic light tab, but can't seem to move the distance from 0.&nbsp; Is there something I'm missing?&nbsp; Please see. &nbsp;createObj("graphic",{ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; left:tok.get("left")+70, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; top:tok.get("top"), &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; height:70, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; width:70, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; pageid:tok.get("pageid"), &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; layer:"objects", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; imgsrc:"<a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.d20.io/images/281027886/5u_UzeitO3xGTPPR39qZIg/thumb.png?16502084885" rel="nofollow">https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.d20.io/images/281027886/5u_UzeitO3xGTPPR39qZIg/thumb.png?16502084885</a>", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; name:tok.get("name") + "'s Dancing Lights!", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; controlledby:player.get("id"), &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; emits_low_light:true, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; light_dimradius:"10", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; });

Hi Wicket35! Which dynamic lighting system are you using? The attribute names are different.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's impossible to answer your question without knowing which.&nbsp; This page should help guide you for UDL or LDL .

Sounds I can't pull from both.&nbsp; One or the other.&nbsp; Good to know.&nbsp; In that case, let's say UDL.

emits_low_light is for UDL and light_dim radius is for LDL. you need low_light_distance instead. For UDL properties, see:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/API:Objects#Graphic_.28Token.2FMap.2FCard.2FEtc..29" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/API:Objects#Graphic_.28Token.2FMap.2FCard.2FEtc..29</a>

What is strange is that I can change any other attribute in UDL....enable bright light, set the bright light distance, enable light vision, etc....just not low_light_distance.&nbsp; I tried setting it before the emits_low_light.&nbsp; I tried disabling the other APIs that are in this campaign thinking one is interfering.&nbsp; I can just use the bright light distance and should be fine for what I'm doing. Also will look into the !spawn token mod and see if it will do lighting as well.&nbsp; If it can, then I'm golden that way too.

!spawn for the win.&nbsp; Thanks everyone for the assist.
