Need help with dynamic lighting

Hi all,  I cannot for the life of me seem to get this dynamic lighting working on one of my maps. It's an open island in the middle of the ocean, like a stranded island sort of thing. I want to use a 20ft vision radius with everything else blacked out to represent it being the middle of the night. So there are no walls as such, just a 20ft vision bubble as they wander around this island. My settings are currently Fog of War - Enabled Enforce Line of Sight - Enabled Only Update on Drop - Enabled Restrict Movement - Enabled Global Illumination - Enabled If I remove the fog of war they can see the entire map, if I keep the fog of war on then they can't see anything except their token. I have set the token to a 40ft radius and a 20ft fade and ticked both boxes for all players see light and has sight. Please help??

Charles, you need to use  dynamic lighting not fog of war.  Fog of war is a static black blanket that you can manually reveal sections of the area.
Wow..you know i've spent about an hour watching youtube tutorials trying to figure that out. Sorry...We just started playing Pathfinder for the first time 2 weeks ago, never played an RPG before and never used something like this so apologies.

It is ok but does that help you solve your problem?
Yeah that is perfect thank you
You also need to turn off Global Illumination, or it will just be daytime.
