I REALLY wanted this functionality bad. SO bad I wrote a script called moveLighting to move dynamic lighting polygon objects to different layers: // By: Kastion

var moveLighting = moveLighting || (function(){
'use strict';
var showHelp = function() {
sendChat('Move Lighting Script',
'/w gm '+
'<div style="border: 1px solid black; background-color: white; padding: 3px 3px;">'+
'<div style="font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 1px solid black;font-size: 130%;">'+
'moveLighting'+
'<div style="clear: both"></div>'+
'</div>'+
'<div style="padding-left:10px;margin-bottom:3px;">'+
'<p>Allows the GM to move what layer a lighting path is on.</p>'+
'</div>'+
'<b>Commands</b>'+
'<div style="padding-left:10px;"><b><span style="font-family: serif;">!movelight [layer] [ID]</span></b>'+
'<div style="padding-left: 10px;padding-right:20px; font-size:12px;">'+
'Valid Layer Options Are: map, objects, gmlayer, walls'+
'</div>'+
'</div>'
);
},
handleInput = function(msg) {
if ( "api" !== msg.type || !playerIsGM(msg.playerid) ) {
return;
}
let parts = msg.content.split(/\s+--\s+/);
let args = parts[0].split(/\s+/);
switch(args[0]) {
case '!movelight': {
var valid_layer = 0, new_layer = args[1];
switch (new_layer)
{
case "gmlayer":
case "walls":
case "objects":
case "map":
valid_layer = 1;
break;
}
if (valid_layer == 1)
{
var path_obj = findObjs({_type: "path", _id: args[2]})[0];
if (path_obj)
{
path_obj.set("layer", new_layer);
} else {
sendChat('Move Lighting Script', '/w gm No path object found with that ID.');
}
} else {
sendChat('Move Lighting Script', '/w gm Invalid Layer Specified.');
showHelp();
}
break;
}
}
},
checkInstall = function()
{
var script_version = "0.1.4";
if( ! state.moveLighting ) {
state.moveLighting = {
version: script_version,
};
}
if (state.moveLighting.version != script_version)
state.moveLighting.version = script_version;
log("-=> Move Lighting Script v"+state.moveLighting.version+" Initialized <=-")
},
registerEventHandlers = function() {
on('chat:message', handleInput);
};
return {
CheckInstall: checkInstall,
RegisterEventHandlers: registerEventHandlers
};
}());
on("ready", function() {
'use strict';
moveLighting.CheckInstall();
moveLighting.RegisterEventHandlers();
});
Now I just do the fllowing: 1) Get the ID of the dynamic lighting polygon object blocking your doors line of sight 2) Put the door on the token layer and set the bar1 value to the ID you just got for the dynamic lighting object 3) Create these 2 macros: Open-Door: !movelight gmlayer @{selected|bar1}
!token-mod --set layer|gmlayer --ids @{selected|token_id}
Close-Door: !movelight walls @{selected|bar1}
!token-mod --set layer|objects --ids @{selected|token_id}
Add the two macros to your macro bar then after setting all the bar1 values of your doors to the dynamic lighting polygon object blocking line of sight just select the door on the token layer and click "Open-Door" to open it. Switch to gmlayer and select door and click "Close-Door" to close it. That's all there is to it! I couldn't do it with TokenMod alone so I hacked together a workaround. Now I have 1-click opening/closing doors with dynamic lighting / line of sight.
