My character tokens have eyes in the back of their heads...

Hey guys. Recently got the dynamic lighting/advanced fog of war stuff set up on my account. I've been trying to set up line of sight, but for some reason, all my tokens are getting vision coming out of the back of them, rather than the front. Does anyone know why this is happening? You can see an example of what I mean here;&nbsp;<a href="https://imgur.com/a/kuxtDRW" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/kuxtDRW</a>
The handle of the select box is which way the token is facing. Right click on the token, choose "advanced", and toggle "flip horizontal" and "flip vertical" in some combination until the tokens are lined up correctly.

Hi Nathan, Technically, the adjustment handle for rotation (the little blue square) is where the tokens front is. This is also where the tokens vision originates from.&nbsp; This doesn't go well with a lot of tokens like yours. What you could do is flip the token orientation through the context menu, which will keep the orientation of the object on the map (the vision will still be coming out in the direction of the little blue dot, but the token image will be, well flipped. To hopefully make this clearer: Here you see like in your example the vision originating from the top of the token, but the tokens orientation is so that it is looking downwards. You could now flip the token vertically by using the context menu Which should result in something like this:

The problem is that Roll20 put the handle at the top since the beginning. However, when people are looking for tokens, tokens that face upward look upside down to the viewer. Token makers got into the habit of creating token artwork that faces downward, but the handle remained at the top. It's a case of conflicting expectations, but fortunately, easily rectified. (heh)
