Dynamic Lighting I Believe Everything Is Set, Players Can't See

So i just bought Curse of Strahd and was planning on dynamic lighting. I have everything on that every guide has suggested. Have my walls up. And yet When i Ctrl+L i can see the charecter and the area surrounding however no matter what i do i cant make them see without revealing the entire map. Help would be super asap appreciated as im supposed to dnd in a few hours.

Remove the fog of war.  They can't see through that.  If you don't want to remove it globally, you can use the reveal tool on the map and remove it in parts using that. (and I just did that last session myself.... :)

^ Alternatively if you want fog of war *and* Dyanamic lighting you can turn on Advanced Fog of War instead.
