Emit Colored Light

Hello everyone, I was trying to have a token emit a particular color light. Usually if I have to create a ligjt effect with color, I just find a token that looks light a diffuse light and use the Tint function, but I wanted to use the radius and distance features of the light function, but make it distinguishable from any other forms of light.  For more detail, I want to show a beholder's antimagic cone without having a separate (and massive) 150 foot cone token that DOMINATES the screen and makes it impossible to navigate.  Any thoughts?

I'm afraid that isn't possible in the current implementation without using an image.  If you had the API, I could suggest some ways to make managing it easier, but there really isn't a nice way of doing it without.  Best I could suggest is putting the image on the map layer and move it manually when you move the beholder.

Yeah, that's what I originally tried to do, but there was actually more than one cone to worry about and it was damn near impossible to manage the two of them. I wound up just deleting them and drawing lines with the free hand tool which were clumsy, ugly and inaccurate. Just wanted to see if there was a more elegant solution I was missing. 

Unfortunately, API is the only issue for a more elegant solution here, so far as I know. =/

For cones? Yeah you're probably stuck fussing with tokens and ordering them on the map. For circular effects you might be able to get away with using Auras on the monster Token.

@Andrew Yeah, that's what I thought. Can anyone on the Roll20 team confirm if this is a feature anywhere on a roadmap?
