I have this macro and the Bullseye lantern won't show the light at just an angle. I tried, 10, 45, 180. Nothing. It does 360 always. What am I missing?

/em considers lighting options...
[Torch light](!torch 20 10 on)
[Darkvision](!torch 60 -5 off)
[Bullseye Lantern](!torch 10 5 yes 180 )
[Lights Off](!snuff)

sorry, I wasn't clear. The flicker is not my issue. It is actually the bullseye lantern not showing light in a specific arc. I wanted it to be set so that it only shows light in, say, a 25 degree arc instead of 360. I cannot figure out how to set that using the torch syntax.

It's a little different because you have to put the selected token and then the angle. It must also be preceded by 2 dashes.

!torch 10 5 1 @{selected|token_id} --25

EDIT: Turns out you don't need the token_id part. Just put -- in front of the angle.
