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.
