Weird light artifact

dont know what is causing this, I was moving my token to check the lighting in all the areas and everything is fine except for this section. 2 images: * light layer w/ Map,  * map layer, map and fog removed, light wall still intact. if I delete the lighting wall, it goes back to normal. I do not want to re-draw my entire dynamic lighting (100x160 map size) and it's one of the 5 giant wall line.  when I move it though, it doesn't change shape or react to the walls widening/narrowing.
Unexplained/invisible lines are caused by using the Freehand tool and/or drawing lines with the Polygon tool that have 'sharp' corners about 99% of the time. The problematic line or portion of line does not have to be anywhere near where the invisible line appears. Is the wall all one contiguous line? Unfortunately the solution to invisible line artifacts is pretty much "redraw the DL lines on your map".  However, since you have a Pro subscription, it is possible to use a Mod script to break your current line into multiple sections, with a script such as Path Splitter  or PathEditor . The only issue is whether you are in a Jumpgate game or not, as Jumpgate uses a 'pathv2' system that older scripts may not be updated to work with, and both of those scripts were originally written before Jumpgate. I thought I remembered a more recent script that works with Jumpgate, but my googlefu isn't finding anything.

Hi Novercalis,  To add to what Jarren wrote, a simple way to find the offending line is to duplicate the page (map).  Then delete 1/4 of the lines. Check to see if the problem goes away.  Hit Ctrl+Z to undo the deletion.  Continue until you find the section that is causing it.  Once you find that section start removing individual lines until you identify the offending line.  Now that you know which line is the problem, go to the original map, delete the same line, and redraw it using smaller sections.

thanks for the feedback. Uncertain what happened, but when I went to check/fix - half of the stuff I did got rolled back, including my lines. Not sure why or how it happened. But with that, I gotta re-draw it anyways. Good to know about path splitter, will check with that next time it happens.
