| − | Remember that a user will only see light sources if they have control over a token that "Has Sight" enabled. You can activate this setting on any token you have control over by going to the Advanced tab in the Edit Token pane.

| − | The measurements for light distance and vision are calculated using the [[Page Settings]] for each individual scene. Whatever the Scale unit measurement is set to (feet, squares, inches, kilometers) is what the units of light range will be calculated in.

| − | These are general lighting examples that will work in any system without specific vision rules. They can been tweaked until the best fit the themes and mood of your game.

| − | ==== Lantern ====
| + | |
| − | The lantern is a mobile 360 degree light source that could represent anything from a torch to an electric lamp. Since the light source is mobile and being carried by a character, then it's best to give the player's token a Light Radius under the Emits Light section. The "All Players See Light" options should be checked. Based on the themes of your game your may wish to have the light "fall off" by getting dimmer the further it travels from it's source. You can do this by putting in the (optional) Start of Dim amount. A good default for this is half the value of the Light Radius. For example, if the lantern's Light Radius is 30 feet, you would set the Start of Dim to 15 feet.

| − | ==== Campfire ====
| + | |
| − | The campfire represents static sources of light, from wall sconces to street lights. Since they won't be moving campfires are best represented as new tokens. The campfire should receive a Light Radius and have "All Players See Light" just like the Lantern. However, since it isn't attached to a player, it should not have "Has Sight" enabled. It's a safe idea to move these static sources of light to the Map Layer so that they don't accidentally get moved.

| − | ==== Glow Stick ====
| + | |
| − | A glow stick represents a source of very dim light, such as a patch of incandescent mushrooms, glowing coals, or a luminescent barrel of radioactive waste. The glow stick is prepared based on it's mobility like either a Lantern or a Campfire light source. The difference is that the option Start of Dim setting is set very low or even zero. An example might be a lit match, prepared like a Lantern but set with a Light Radius of only 5 feet and a Start of Dim of just 1 foot. This is an excellent way to reduce visibility and increase dramatic tension.
