Trigger it
Event - Map initalization
Action - Visabillity - Create a visabillity modifier for (player 1) emiting black mask over playable area.

then for your torch effect tou will need another trigger.
create a region the with the size of light you want emitted (it doesn't matter where on the map. You will also need a variable of type unit.)

Event - a unit obtains an item
Condition - item is equal to torch
Action - Region - move region (the one mentioned above) to unit position of manipulating unit.
- Set variable (the one mentioned above) = to manipulating unit
- Trigger turn off this trigger
- Trigger turn on (the trigger bellow)

This is the trigger bellow
Event - every .10 seconds of the game
Action - move region (the region mentioned above) to point of unit (the only varable I've mentioned.)

then the unit drops an item = to ur item trigger im sure you can do.

then you need to copy a set of these triggers with different varables for each player.

if you have any questions ill be sure to help

did you forgot to mention that that 2nd region needs to emit visibility ?

If it works this way (has some logic), i didn't know it

How about simply making the default vision for your units very small and give this torch item an ability which increases vision?
Can't remember the ability, possible goblin scope of something it's called.
