Tokens affecting dynamic lighting?

Hi! So sorry if this has been answered already, but I couldn't find with little searching and my 'net here at work is sooo bad I don't want to spend ages searching -_- Anyway, is there a way already (in Dev or some other place) for tokens to affect dynamic lighting? Like a token for a door that blocks sight, but you can then easily turn (or move away). Currently doors are giving me a headache whenever dynamic lighting is concerned :P (I have to switch layers, delete the block that I draw in place of the door and switch back to token layer). Would be magnificent if there was a way to draw dynamic lighting "walls" on tokens or just a checkbox or something like "blocks light". ps. if feature requests are considered... colored lighting (possibly with levels). That would add SO much to the atmosphere if I could change the color and/or intensity of the light. (I know I can do normal/dim currently, but would like to have at least a couple of more on the dim side.) But color would be awesome. EDIT: I don't care if the feature is behind a "paywall" (ie. Mentor subscription or something). That alone would probably make me subscribe currently. I so hate playing dungeons with doors in them :D

There is an API script (for Mentor level subscribers) that can cause torch light to flicker, but I'm not sure about tinting the color. I would imagine that could be accomplished with the API as well. As for removing Dynamic Lighting more easily? Not available currently. However, that might make a fine suggestion over at the Suggestions Forum. :)
G.V. you can try this, I could not get it to work, but you never know... <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1366850/flickering-lights#post-1380822" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1366850/flickering-lights#post-1380822</a>

There aren't colored lights per se, but you can put an aura on of the same diameter and it looks somewhat like a colored light. (except that the aura will extend past walls, but that's usually not a big deal from the player view). I have some API script ideas for the door issue, I just need to get around to writing them...

Wasn't there already a script for easy-open DL doors? I remember seeing one with video documentation...

There was one 10 month ago: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/636123/script-do" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/636123/script-do</a>... I don't know anything about it though.
oh, wow. I like the looks of that door script.....I will have to add it to my campaign. Thanks.
Oh my... that door script looks like heaven. I NEED to check that out, THANKS! I made a suggestion for more generic token&lt;&gt;DL interaction though, since this would obviously only work for doors and I'd like to use tokens blocking vision in other ways (cars, for example.).
