Line of sight Tweak - Cone and Circle 'Vision'

I'm thinking the ability to add maybe a dim circle as well as a dim cone shape to a token for 'Field of Vision' something like the radar on the ship in Assassin's creed 4. Tried finding a good picture but google let me down. That way it'll give off a sort of 'Sensory range' type feel to it. obviously you can't see behind you and if you could you'd be able to see a full radius, but I'm thinking more like you can detect that area non-visually a short range. Also it would be great for 'Guards' on patrol with the API. anybody agree?

I agree. Even for regular games this would be useful. The option to indicate a full circle radius along with a 'beam' would make lighting more accurate for many games. A bullseye lantern in DnD, for example, give 15 feet radius light around a token, and a 60 foot beam forwards (or more accurately full circle light 30ft (dim 15) and cone 60 degrees 120 feet (dim 60). I MIGHT be off on the angle there, but it is a very bright long beam that still allows for vision around it. I also think that angle of vision should have a 'dim angle' so that it can show a small amount of dim light either side of the wedge of light it gives off. Even a few degrees of dim light would make the edges of the beam seem less harsh, and I think it should be set in a similar manner (to use the lantern again: something like full circle light 30ft(dim 15), Cone 80degrees, (60degrees dim) / 120 ft (dim 60) would work perfectly, and allow any GM to set up something that looks more like a bullseye lantern in effect and less like a modern day torch.

As I explain here , I think it would be great if a setting option would allow light to be emitted from the bottom of a token instead of the top. I think it would be great if putting a value of, say "-1" in the multiplier box would reverse it. This would save a lot of time and allow gms to do a lot more in vision and sneaking-based games without having to flip every token. Edit: Also, Guards on patrol would be a huge deal. It's a major pain in the butt to actually be limited to cone vision in-game, so having that additional cone icon would be infinitely helpful.
