Dynamic Lighting - all players see light problem

I am trying to have torches in certain rooms and none in others in my dungeon, but if i click the all players see light option then the torch is lit no matter where you are in the dungeon ( can see lit room from across the dungeon) , Is there a way to have lit torches in a room so if a character goes thru a door they can see the lit up room while others not in the door cannot. I am having a problem with characters without darkvision but entering a lit room the dynamic lighting doesnt seem to block light if the all players see light option is clicked , and it doesnt emit light if the option is unchecked, hope that makes sense never posted on forums before so hope i have done it correctly

Cymeric , I am guessing you are playing on the Main server? As part of the Rugged Reroll (being tested on the Dev server) you can now enforce Line of Sight so that distant light sources cannot be seen even when "all players see" is checkmarked. However, Line of Sight will not be moved to the Main server until sometime near the end of the year. In the meantime I suggest using the Fog of War to cover up distant light sources. Dynamic Lighting was intended to be used in concert with Fog of War. - Gauss
ok thanks for your help i will try that until the reroll - thanks for your help
Will player's be able to see light sources off in the distance?
Yes, as long as it is within their LoS, i.e. not blocked by lines on the dynamic lighting layer.
