Can You Lock Token Image Rotation?

I'm using portrait tokens in a modern setting, where the players are using mostly flashlights. With the Dynamic Lighting option, rotating and positioning is important. However, when I rotate a token, I would like them to stay facing up, while the light area rotates. Is this possible with Roll20?
Maybe this script would work? It's for a facing ring, so don't know if it would work or not. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1903275/script-f" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1903275/script-f</a>...

Be aware of this reply from The Aaron though that highlights a potential future release having this function but not currently as far as i know... it would certainly solve your 'tokens facing north' problem though. The easy solution light-wise is to have 360 radius unless the cone is a necessary feature for your game system.
Ah, so the light would probably still be facing north, even though the facing ring is rotated. Gotcha.

Actually, If you as GM add the light on the ring, it works perfectly. I've been using it in a game Stephen S. is running. I suggest setting the scale down a bit in the facing ring. I'll try to add an enhancement soon that preserves the light and allows players to set it.

That's interesting to know, i had wondered about doing that but hadn't gotten around to testing... admittedly facing doesn't seem to play nice with my campaign right now but i haven't had time to figure out why as of yet (probably a PICNIC error ;) ) Pablo, it looks as though your dreams have come true =D

Fixed your post (never give Aaron's charcter's a hooded beacon lantern.... omnidirectional torch light only. In fact, if you do have him in your game, PM me, there a list of things to avoid when GMing Aaron.)

HAHAHAA One nice thing about putting the directional light on the facing marker, you can put a smaller light on the character token and get a sort of keyhole shape to give more of that close awareness feeling to the character.
Thanks all! I will try some of your tricks.
