Lighting/torches auto following players (in same space)

I've heard people talk about this, and I've seen scripts like bump that have something follow something (in the same space) and marching order which has things follow (in the previous space) but I haven't been able to figure out something that works. One of the more tedius or immesion disrupting things that has been coming up in most of the games I'm running is either the player having to control two tokens(herself and a light spell, and she has dark-vision on her token) and then either myself or her forgetting to move (she can see without it as dim light) and then us having to scroll around to see where she left lol I'm just considering asking my players to cast on someone without darkvision , some of them are also preferring to cast light even with darkvision because it's brighter (which never came up in table top lol)I I've just started giving my players without darkvision 5 of light that starts at -5. It kind of creates that stumbling around in the darkness feel where you sort of can tell who's around you but not really.  Anyway love roll20! and thanks to all the scripters!  tried to get into pre pendemic and it has a high learning curve but now I have time, even considering learning java script but idk If I have time (running 4 games 2 DitA and 2 WD-Dh and one VtM game yeee)
This largely depends on how you want this to work in your games? If you just want the players to have the light from thier token, I suggest tokenmod. You can edit a tokens vision on the fly with simple commands. There is also a script called torch which does only the lighting. Tokenmod has more uses. If you are looking for players actually having a token to drag along, then I would suggest TokenCondition by The Aaron&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7992951/script-tokencondition-easily-add-full-token-condition-images-to-character-and-monster-tokens/?pagenum=1" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7992951/script-tokencondition-easily-add-full-token-condition-images-to-character-and-monster-tokens/?pagenum=1</a> That script allows you to setup a token, add it to character sheet and then you can drag and drop on to a token or your players can and it will follow them around.&nbsp;
nice. This is cool for other stuff too! I figured out how to do it with torch (flicker doesn't use the same field as darkvision also)
