Dynamic Lighting enabled, "All Players See Light" behaves as if checked, when in fact it is unchecked.

One of my tokens has "darkvision"   Emits light 60, dim starts at -5, All Players See Light UNchecked, Has Sight is checked on The other tokens that have Has Sight checked on can see the light from the darkvision token as if it were a light, despite not having checked on the box for "all players see light." I've rentered the game as a player and see the same problem. I've searched for answers but all this dynamic lighting bug issues are years old Any help?

The only thing I can think about is whether the other players have ownership of the token, but I seem to recall a similar bug coming up with the AFoW rewrite. Take a look at the following thread and see if your issue is in the known or resolved issues.&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7368015/advanced-fog-of-war-feedback-thread-2-dot-0/?pagenum=1" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7368015/advanced-fog-of-war-feedback-thread-2-dot-0/?pagenum=1</a> If not, you should consider posting in that thread with pictures of the GM view, the page settings (light and AFoW sections), the darkvision and normal vision token settings (last tab with the vision settings), and the rejoin as player view.

The Ctrl L being broken issue is well-documented (Issue #5 in the post Brian linked), but rejoining as player should give it accurate readings. I would suggest checking the permissions on the tokens, and make sure that when you are rejoining as player, you have permissions on only the one you are testing. If I could suggest a more efficient testing set-up? Create a dummy account . Add it to the game as a player. Log into the game as GM, and log the dummy account in in a private browsing window, so your browser doesn't get confused. You can assign permissions for any character you want to test to the dummy account and see the results in real time. Note that you will have to move the token being tested in order to update the DL. Since you are a pro user, you could even assign a token-mod action to toggle permissions on and off for any token on the board. I have a chat macro entry for this. My dummy account is named Camera, but you can edit the macro for the name of your own. This macro only adds and subtracts dummy account control, not other players' permissions: Camera Control [On](!token-mod --set controlledby|+Camera) | [Off](!token-mod --set controlledby|-Camera)
Thank you gentlemen, it was indeed the players permission/ownership issue.&nbsp; It will be nice when the Ctrl+L thingy for GMs get fixed ... Much appreciated for your speedy responses! Cheers, Jon
