Setting Up Dynamic Lighting in Roll20 

This was super helpful and so easy to follow along with. THANK YOU SO MUCH

Nick: "Hi everyone..." Me: ***SMASHES THE LIKE BUTTON***

This video is so helpful. You're a very clear teacher and you go at the perfect pace. Thank you!

I wanna thank you for all the great tutorials Nick :)

BTW, the "collision" settings or "stop token movement when a wall is met"... is in part two! Thank you so much, Master Olivo !!! Regards from Tabasco, México [Land of The Olmecs]!

Great video as always. I've been binging your channel since I got roll20 pro. Loving it so far.

You are a gentleman and a scholar and have been able to take the mystery out of this for me now. Thank you sir. :)

Thanks for the video, Nick! Your tutorials are fantastic! One quick point for perfectionists out there: you can snap the polygon tool's line to the grid even from the first click by holding shift as you showed in the video! This gives you nice and crisp lines that don't have the slightest deviation from the grid. I did learn something new about the polygon tool in this video that will save me a bunch of time: right-clicking will end the line??? That's super helpful! Also good to know is that they updated the Dynamic Lighting layer to allow ellipses and circles! I've been having to make very careful polygon circles, lol. You're doing Primus's work out here and showing everyone how to manage Roll20 like a pro! Keep up the amazing work!

Lol, I came here to learn about dynamic lighting, but the first thing I learned was that you can make a token out of a rolled number. That will be so useful for my maps!

Ahhh, thank you so much for this. I was so confused going from the free fog of war to the subscription dynamic lighting, and this was exactly what I needed!

Awesome tutorial! Very clearly shown and explained.

Thank you Nick for a great tutorial.

And yet another awesome tutorial.

this is the best video ive seen on this topic. New to dnd and only interested in Dming. thank you man!!!!

Loved it, super useful, you got a new subscriber mate

As always, very helpful. Thank you so much 😊

Sorry to jump on this a year out, in the last few months I have found the ability to *stretch* and *shrink* wall/barrier lines spotty. Example: I would make an extra thick line, place it, fit it and then shrink or stretch as needed - then make it a regular line or somesuch. Now I rarely get the controls to stretch or shrink. For me that was all win. I could absolutely control the layout. Now I am hoping the artists have fitted lined everything up to the grid, or I stretch the heck out of maps to try and make them fit well. I do like the snap lines, over the making lines myself. Snap to grid does not muck with my sense of neatness. Anyways, thank you in advance.

Great video, roll20 has needed a new updated tutorial for dynamic lighting.

Correct me if I missed it, but I don't think you covered one of the critical settings that appears on the Page Details tab under "Movement: Dynamic Lighting Barriers Restrict Movement". Unless this is turned on, players will be able to move their character tokens through walls and other barriers. I can't understand why Roll20 places this setting on the Page Details tab instead of grouping it together with all the other dynamic lighting settings on the Dynamic Lighting tab.

I played another tabletop that had a "Pause" toggle that kept players from moving tokens till the GM turned it on. Roll20 NEEDS something like that.

Is anyone covering the new Dynamic Lighting Feature Hide/Reveal feature?

Hi Nick, when you will pass to Foundry? ;-) ... I miss your videos.

Hi Nick - thanks so much for all the helpful tutorials! I might have missed something but I know that I can go to player view by using the 'switch to player view' setting but how can the GM view both what the GM sees and what the player sees at the same time? It looks like you can do it and maybe I've missed the session where you outline how this is done - but it would be super useful to know. thanks :) Caroline

Thank you for the video Nick. I have a question about explorer mode. Last week we had a dungeon crawl and the session ended somewhere in the middle of dungeon. At the end of session I moved players back to initial welcome screen. On this weeks session I moved players back to the dungeon and all the explored areas were blacked out. I had to make a reveal token (vision for all players) and move it through the places they explored to re-explore the dungeon. Is this how it was intended or is it a bug?

Hi Nick, thank you for the tutorial. How do you reset explorer mode? All of the search results and forums give old instructions - there's no 'turn off fog of war' anymore. And turning it off and on again doesn't work.

This is great, but how do I bring up that 'player view' pop-up window? D:

Is it possible to stick a light source to a player token so that they can carry a torch or light spell with them?

i cant find the setting!

Hello, help me, I have a problem: the interface has been updated and now there is no such setting after clicking on the button, there is no dynamic lighting

Do I have to set up the token settings every time ?

How does Dynamic Lighting interface with Fog of War?

Does everyone in the group need a paid account for this to work or only the GM/DM?

dynamic lighting is now visible in the free version and i thought its a free feature now... but its just there to make me sad

Help please my player screen is all black

Apparently RU-vid thinks this is Minecraft...
