Struggling with Dynamic Lighting - Characters see them wherever they are?

Edited 1415659017
Hi guys, I've watched loads of videos, phaffed about and still can't get this to work. Page settings: Dynamic Light enabled Line of sight enabled So I map out my walls on the DL layer I dump a torch, give it a 30ft light radius All Players See Light enabled Has Sight enabled No matter what combination I try, my characters can see the torches from wherever they are on the map. Regardless if they're behind a DL wall. Any ideas? It's driving me maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

Are you sure you're viewing as a player and not as the GM? I tried to replicate this but i just wasn't able to. If you click on the token and press Ctrl+L you can see what that token is able to see. Actually, I just figured it out. Turn off "Has Sight Enabled" on the torches.
As Kevin said, you only want "Has Sight" checked on things that the players can "see through." So basically that would be their PC tokens and nothing else in most cases.

It should also be noted that if "Has Sight" is enabled on the torches and you use Ctrl-L to view players lighting, you don't get an accurate representation of what they're actually seeing.

The Ctrl+L bug should be fixed on the next update. Edit: I apologize, I jumped the gun on that. It had appeared in my initial testing that the new DL setup fixed the Ctrl+L bug but my further testing has shown it is not. Sorry for the false hope.

The ol'Ctrl+L bug. Feared by all GM's on roll20. May it die a slow, merciless death. Scratch that. ASAP.
The Ctrl+L bug should now be fixed, in that now you won't see things when you're Ctrl+L'ing unless All Players see them.
