Is there any way to move the line of sight?

I just bought my first month of supporter and i'm trying to get dynamic lighting set up but I'm having trouble with the line of sight i'm using the retro tokens i'll link it <a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/59/retro-adventurers" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/59/retro-adventurers</a> and the line of sight goes up from there head and the only way to fix it is to turn the character which I don't like cause it would screw up the way they look is there any way to either move the character more then just flipping him like actually turning him or is there anyway to position the line of sight?

You can right click and flip horizontal / vertical the token to get it positioned right. It's kind of a hack but viable. There are several requests and discussions around being able to set the direction of the sight.

At this time there is no way to rotate the line of sight itself. Here are some possible workarounds: 1) To point it down you can flip the token and then rotate the token so it is heads up again. The light source will point down. 2) To point the light to the side, use a program (such as GIMP) to rotate it 90 degrees and then drop it into your game. Use Rotate/Flip vertical to orient the light. 3) To alternate between both 1 and 2 set up the token as a rollable table with the 'normal' image as option "1" and the 'sideways' image as option "2". When you rotate the token (and thus the light source) the player can switch the image. To avoid using flip horizontal or flip vertical you can use #3 but set up 4 images (facing each direction) in the rollable table. If you need further help please let me know.

Rollable table for rotation is genius.
