Secondary light source

I cant seem to get the "campfire" to be seen by PCs?  I have the "campfire" set up as a char, 40-20-360. all players can see light is checked, has sight is check, all players can control it.  When i ctrl+L on the "campfire" i see the light but none of my PCs do and fog of war is off. any thoughts

Hi ronald! Moved thread to Specific Use Questions (as this is not a Suggestion & Ideas post). We can move this to Bugs & Technical Issues if it turns out to be something broken. On first read, your settings sound good. What Layer is the campfire on? Try putting it on the Objects & Tokens layer, see if that resolves it. Other members of the community may join in with tips for this. Wiki docs with examples of settings to compare, <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Dynamic_Lighting_Examples" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Dynamic_Lighting_Examples</a>
Thxs for the replacement. &nbsp;i have tried it on all levels&nbsp;
Think i got it need enforced line of sight on? &nbsp;but now cant get the range right. &nbsp;Got scale set at 1=5' set the light source to 5' should only light up one square no?
OK starting to think i cant get my head around this. &nbsp;Got it to work on one map but have all the same setting on same tokens and when i turn on LOS he get unlimited range of sight and with it off black. &nbsp;sorry for the posts&nbsp;
I'm struggling a little to fully understand everything you have tried but I think if the token is on the object layer then you should be fine. In terms of the radius 5ft means that it shines out 5ft in every direction from the central point... so it will make a 10ft across circle. The only thing I could suggest is make sure you have global illumination turned off, as if every is illuminated you wont be able to see the campfire. And also check what range of vision your players have. If they can already see everything that the campfire is illuminating then they wont see the light from the campfire. I hope that helps a little.
Do each of the PC tokens have the "have sight" box checked?
