Hello,

I have been looking all over and cannot find anything on how to do directional token lighting, as though a character is using a flashlight or hooded lantern, or headlights on a car.

Is there a way to do this? I know there are lots of spell effects that are cones, so I figured lights should be similar...

Welcome to the forums.

No, there's no way to do this at present. It is something that is on the wishlist - link in my signature.

It would be fantastic if they could add it in, I am trying to start a Car Battling campaign set in real world 1970s so it would be really great to have.

You should add your vote here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featurerequests/featurerequests.php If you search for "light" you'll find there is already a feature request for it.

Voted! This with animation (like a search light or laser detection alarm beam) and automated Auras that tie in with effects. :)

Was directional lighting ever added? I would love to have flashlights work like flashlights.

No. You can vote for it in the Feature Request list which is linked in one of the posts above.

I see there are some items here with a lot of votes and have been sitting for over a year. Is there a way to see if there is progress on or intention to implement any of these?

It shows the status of the feature request in the second column. Smiteworks generally don't announce what they are working on in advance of release, so it's entirely possible that some of the things on the list are in active development.
